Bead belts have had their day but artistic creations of the kind from abroad are always au fait. The narrow patent leather belt that was so undeniably trim and stylish has been banished, and the broad belt of soft leather or suede has taken Its placs. The broad belts are unbecoming to the average woman, they are very expensive and call for buckles that can never be used for any other belt. One of the best of them Is of soft suede in a pale gray.

At - you, Fortunatey for Young Couple This HOW THE MINISTER WAS WON By EDWIN BLACK CopyruhUd, 10, by The Author $ Pubtuhinj Company. The church was crowded. The conexgregation was In a whirlwind of The new minister was to citement. officiate. Generally there is a perceptible in the attendance prior to the sermon; but as this was the maiden attempt of Dr. Howard, the parishioners had decided to remain. The most enthusiastic of the congregation waited in the ves.ibule after service to congratulate the young rector. He received many tempting offers to dinners, parties, etc., but courteously declined them all. To tbe amazement of the congregation he accepted tbe Carletons Invitation, and shortly afterwards announced that he had decided to locate with them permanently. The Carletons were aristocrats from the root lip. Judge Sidney Guy Carle-tounder Gov. was attorney-genera- l Winthrop, and rose rapidly In politics from that time one. The Misses Carle-tohad received excellent educations, and were raised with the greatest care. Merle was the youngest, liveliest, and most tactful of the three. Edith was more sedate, and while a clever entertainer, she failed to Impress one with her studied frankness. Julia was a human Icicle. Exaggerated dignity, excessive pride, and extreme egotism retarded one's advances, and left her with but few friends. From the very start the Misses Carletbn were candidates for Dr. Howard's heart. No man ever received more attention. The war was on. The general topic, and the most important question was. Who would win the minister? To a close observer It was quite evident that Dr. Howard found Merle more interesting than either Julia or Edith. An event occurred shortly after that confirmed this opinion. "I am requested to visit an indigent family this afternoon, said Dr. Howard, one day. "Would you like to accompany me, Miss Merle? Certainly, she said, delighted and flattered, "but are you quite sure I shall not bore you? I am positive you wont, he replied, earnestly. It was a long walk, and a most pleasant one. They conversed congenially on all topics. They turned into a lovely lane, and saw In tbe distance the home of the destitute family. They found them in a very poor circumstances, and sadly In need of aid. After an hour of comforting and promising early succor, the visitors departed. It was a joyful return. They seemed to understand each other perfectly. Howard. He told his friends he was positive something was wrong, and that he had determined to find Howard and have him prove his Innocence or expose him. A little detective work soon put Winter on the rectors track. He learned his whereabouts so he hastened to Auburn. As Dr. Howard and Merle walked slowly along on their return Journey, by they were suddenly confronted Winter, who called out roughly: "Benton Howard! Scoundrels never die, do they! Then glancing at Merle, he continued. In an insinuating tone. Aha! at your old sport again, eh? We n The elder Howard prided himself on his illustrious ancestry. He had mapped out his sons destiny, so to speak,, and had determined that Benton should marry a woman that would add to the lustre of his name. Now, it so happened that this astute gentleman adbecame advised of a pretty-we'.- l vanced affaire du coeur between his son, and a certain pretty maid, Nora Deane by name a good girl, but poorly connected. The Idea of Howard marrying into a family of clerks and carpenters! Preposterous! Tbe affair must come to an end at once! About tbls time, Howard noticed the cold and indifferent attitude of his friend and college chum, Carl Winter. He couldn't account for it. They had never quarreled; Winter had not criticized any of his actions they seemed to be getting along splendidly. Then why this sudden change?

Noras resentment angered him. From that time on, he conceived a dislike for his friend a dislike that puzzled Howard. His unfriendliness foamed into hatred when he learned that Howard had suddenly left the neighborhood. Why did he leave? He concluded that Howard had wroDged Nora, and that he had clandestinely departed to avoid exposure. No one in Ballard county, except Winter believed in the guilt of Benton Don't go too far, man! the minister exclaimed. remember you kindly at home, reverend father! The speaker's face was distorted with rage. Merle drew closer to Dr. Howard. He was pale, his eyes, flashing defiance, remained fixed to the spot; and with remarkable he allowed the speaker to go on. Yes, little Nora remembers yon, too. It was that smooth tongue of yours, you blackguard, that won her from me! Your face should change at the sound of that name, proud man? Ah, but I see you have schooled yourself too well! This lady doesnt know you; she doesn't know how shallow you are. Ill You miserable, 'Silence, coward. despicable man; silence! commanded the minister, unable longer to restrain his anger. My calling protects vou. Were I yet a man of the world, would choke you Into silence. Merle, pale with fear, moved from the rector's side. Carl Winter, he continued, "I have known you from childhood. You know, and all those that remember me know, that I was a wayward and frivolous youth. But since I have entered the ministry I defy you or anyone else to recall a breath of slander that has ever coupled my name with any Impropriety. Miss Carleton, unable to support herself, sunk breathlessly to the ground, The strain was too great. Dr. Howard was at her side In a moment. Ah! see man see! he said, plead Ingly.see, how we have been racking her young heart! Raising her tenderly; he held her In his arms until she regained consciousness. Then a blush bloomed the roses In her cheeks. Releasing her, he said tremulously and with Intense pathos "Miss Carleton, I pray you, forgive me for seriously forcing you to go through this ordeal ; but my good name my reputation, which I prize above all things, was at stak. If I did not prove the falsity of this mans assertions I know I would lose Enough of this prattle!" Interrupted Winter, give me the proof of the spotless life you say you lead, and of yonr honorable Intentions toward this lady. Miss Carleton, Dr. Howard said turning towards her, and mastering his emotion with great effort, you have heard what this man has said. Do you I ask you do you believe It? No! no! no! she cried, wringing her hands, I cannot I do not believe It! You dont, eh? Why? asked Winter, angered by her devotion. Her answer would decide whether Dr. Howard was an unscrupulous scoundrel, or whether her good name would be smirched, and a hitherto untarnished family record stained. Her love for the divine, and the great pride of the Carletons forced her to reply: Because because the world doesn believe It. Because, she hesitated and because I am go!n to gasped, be he said Because, Carl Winter, triumphantly. Mis Carleton is going to be my wife! IJar! Winter hissed, I don't believe you!

The lady told her husband and they conceived the Idea of having a little fun at Don Juans She invited him to the expense. house in her husband's absence. He had only been there a few minutes when the lady, with well simulated alarm, announced the unexpected return of her husband. Quick! she cried, theres no time to be lost! Get into the flour bin! The husband informed his wife that he had sold the flour bin, and presently two men came and carried it away. On their way they dropped the bin In the mud, the lid flew open, and out rolled Don Juan covered with flour. He crept away In great discomfiture, amid peals of laughter. e The Tourist and the Porter.
