A messenger came to the officer at the cell's door who spoke a mo ment later to Ellen. Would Mrs. Josselyn step into the warden’s of fice a minute, to. speak to Mr. La throp Ellen, with one quick flut ter of breath, smiled a goodby to Gibbs and was gone. In the warden’s office she found George and the district attorney. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Jossetyn” Ryan said. Ellen, smiling faintly tried to read his rosy, complacent face. “This Is a most extraordinary turn of events,” he said. ‘'This lit tle fellow had the secret up his sleeve all the time, eh?” Ellen felt almost faint with the revulsion this change In his man ner gave her. Ryan had always been sharp, suspicious, meanaclng, before. She wanted to ask: “You believe It, then" but quick Intuition told her that that must wait, So she asked instead: “Tommy talked, did he?

Gibbs said lifelessly. “I regard It as more than im portant. I regard it as so vital that I feel free to congratulate you up on it, Mr. Josselyn, upon a mirac ulous escape from an error of the law.

But Ellen saw his Up trem ble. “Gibbs—my dear, dear hoy !* George stammered, taking both his bands. 0 Ellen had a quick sensation of faintness and nausea. She looked bravely at George, and smiled wav eringly. “We—we rousn’t be too sure—” she stammered. A moment later the harsh, whitewashed walls and the redded doors, the warden's desk, and the tall, bare windows, vanished. She saw them all blur together, like a picture in a bubble, and, like the bubble, suddenly be come flecked with widening black spots. Then everything was black. CHAPTER XVII O N about A quiet a year September and a half morning, later, a,young man, his pretty wife and their very small baby got out of the long train of dusty pullman coaches at the dry, sleepy California town of Los Antonios. After a smiling survey of the scene, during which they were ap parently entirely unnoticed, the man crossed the street to the bank, and asked a question of the teller. i Sure you can; yon phone can from here,” said that delicate, blonde, moustached official pleas antly. “Phone Murphy's garage, and they'll take you up there. The Josselyn’s who have the old Perry place, Isn’t it? Sure, it's about six miles out of town, up in the hills." He meditated a second, and then, with a burst of interest, he added. “Sat, Mrs. Josselyn was in here about a minute ago! Know her car? It must be right outside here." And he obligingly stepped to the door with the newcomer, and looked up and down the street. “That's the car,” he said indi cating one that had been left empty before the post office door. “If you get in there and wait for Mrs. Jos selyn she’ll be right out of some where.” Joe Latimer went across the street again, and took the baby from Its mother’s arms. “That’s Ellen’s car, there!” he said, smiling nervously. Lizzie did not speak. Her cheeks were burn § . i, Bt ■8 p HEW* ?

With the baby on one arm, and the big suitcase in his free hand, Joe went to the waiting motor, and Liz zie, carrying the little suitcase, fol lowed. He put his wife and baby in the tonneau, but was too nervous himself to Join them there, and walked up and down the sidewalk Instead, turning his heqd whenever n screen-door banged, to look for (TO BE CONTINUED.?

What if site would never, never see her mamma again? How, in all that mob of hurrying, brusque-, people could she ever find her? The streets and side walks were a black mud color from the snow trampled down by the thousands of people and vehicles passing over them. What if should slip and fall and cover self with that dirty slush? No one would ever recognise her. She would be lost; she woal.i have to walk the streets like this forever and ever—oh I oh! Two large tears trickled down her cheeks and a great sob shook her little frame, A large-nosed Santa Claus in a red liannei suit grinned at her and shook a little tin cup which tinkled wlth many coins. On the corner a small group of blind beggars were singing Christmas carols in cracked, ugly voices. Marie stopped in front of them, watched them for a while, then suddenly remembering her loneliness, burst into a loud shriek, Several people stopped pityingly and inquired her name and where she lived, but she could not tell them, for the sobs were choking her throat. A large, excited lady pushed her way through the crowd. “Marie 1 Oh, The mamma thought you were lost!” woman swept the little girl off her feet, clutching her eagerly, Marie held on to her most tightly, but continued to cry with bitterness, It was a way of relieving, her feel ings, and so comforting to have dear mother's shoulder to cry on.

Christmas Sleighing in Days of Long Ago Of course the children had a sleigh ride during the holidays. But more and more as their parents talked over what they would give the children when they came home from the sleigh ride, more and more as they planned the good hot sup per, they thought about the sleigh rides there had been when they were young. What sleigh rides those hod been! What fun! What a nice thing It was that now the children could enjoy these sleigh rides. And yet—and yet—why not? They talked it over with each other and then with the neighbors. Then it was decided upou. And the grown-ups, too, had a sleigh ride during the Christmas holidays just as they had had when they were young. Afterward Were was a hot supper and then there were games.

How much of unhappiness, or discontent, or unrest, would we all be spared?’ How many foolish quarrels and use less bickerings would never be if our hearts held the message of love and trust and peace that they do today ? How many homes would be unbroken and how many men and women would work together In a new and deeper bond of love and service? How trivial and small would appear some of the reasons that estrange us from each other? How petty and mean the little jeal ousies and misunderstandings that hamper our way and our vision? How different our fellow-men would appear In our eyes—their little weaknesses and fallings would be things to stir our hearts to pity, In stead of to scorn and contempt. Well it would be for the world and for each one of ns as individuals if the spirit of peace, of love, of good wlil toward all men burned in our hearts through all the year with the terror re ffoeg -fga g yr — Katherine For the Christmas Turkey When your turkfe y ha * been stuffed and you are ready to close the opening, try using small tooth P ,cks * uch as caI > be purchased for flve cents a box.

The doctor said that an operation for cntaracts could be successful. I am waiting for the morrow, almost breathlessly, for they are to remove the bandages from his eyes to test his sight And oh, Mrs. Wiggins, let us pray that all will be well!” God was good to the blind boy and the operation was very suecess fol.
