THE GEORGIAN'S MAGAZINE PAGE “The Gates of Silence’’ A STORY OF LOVE, MYSTERY AND HATE. WITH A THRILLING POR TRAYAL OF LIFE BEHIND PRISON BARS. TODAY'S INSTALLMENT. I here was h stir cf expectancy as the , man, captured by the police in the house • n 1 ernpest street, was brought into court. Bonington, craning his ne-k. found it hard to get the glimpse, of him for which h’- felt a curious, u pleaping eagerness. T i'en. with a sudden cleavage of the <’t"wd. tie had a clear vision of the man— of a thin, brown face that was full of ‘ haracter. a handsome face that, in its lines, resembled the profiles of those Ro man emperors that have come down to us <m their coinage; a fare that for all its undeniable strength was an evil face, lit I*' eyes of a very noticeable light blue, that looked out on the world with a sneering contempt. A Previous Meeting. 'mod Lord!" Rimington muttered the **<-lamation under his breath. \ moment since he would have heen prepared to swear that he had no recol lection of the man whose entrance into the hall at Tempest street on the night *'• the murder hatl been so unexpected, for the excellent reason that he had not seen him; now he knew that subcon sciously his brain had received and re tained an impression. Beyond doubt this was the man of whom, as he sent him scrawling by that unexpected blow which had covered his own retreat, he had re ceived that curiously vivid impression— that he had been taken, not physically alone, but mentally by surprise. Almost as definitely and decisively as , though he had been a woman. Jack Rim ington found his opinion already formed as he loked at the prisoner. An opinion * that resolved Itself into actual words in his mind: "That man Is as innocent as I am. Whatever he was after in that house it was not murder. He knew nothing of the body I saw lying In the room upstairs." it was hard to generalize, of course, find he laid claim to no great skill in physiognomy; still, the prisoner was not of the type that does open murder. He vas convinced of that. <>n the obvious surface he belonged to those who, If they deal death, do so by subtlety and stealth. ’rhe first witness called was the con stable to whom Saxe had given the alarm As Rimington looked at the man who tow ered up in the little pulpit-like witness box. he instantly recognized him as the man whose face he had seen staring in at him through the uncurtained window of the ground floor room in Tempest street The recognition chilled him. He leaned back and felt a recurernce of that sickening sensation that had racked him yesterday, when on Hungerford Bridge a man coming behind him had touched him on the shoulder. A Dreadful Moment. The police constable’s evidence was brief, and consisted of a recapitulation of wl-at Rimington had already read in the newspaper account concerning the alarm raised, the breaking into the house, and the capture of the prisoner, who de nied all knowledge of the murder, but voluntarily surrendered the famous ruby which belonged to Mr. Kitzstephen. Rim ington listened with a certain apathy to the volley of answers and questions, till a sharp Interrogation from the coroner brought him upright in his seat, alert and listening with a strained expectancy. "You say when the lights flashed up suddenly in the room on the ground floor that you saw the prisoner clearly stand ing there?" And the man's answer, hesitating for the first time, more natural and less offi cial in tone: "I saw a man. sir.” "The prisoner?" “I would not care to swear to that, sir." To Rimington It seemed that the whole court room hung In waiting silence for the coroner's comment. There was none. The coroner, alert, amazingly skillful in eliciting necessary facts as he appeared to be, was all at once stricken by a men tal blindness. He merely told the man to stand down, and Paul Saxe, being called, duly followed him in the box. -Snowdrift Overcomes Every Fried food Objection A There used to be two objections to fried foods AgLo —they were not nearly as digestible as foods pre v I pared in other ways. Now, however, as most good , cooks know, this has been overcome by frying in yT Snowdrift. There is no more health ful way to fry ( foods than in Snowdrift. It stands a very high temperature x without burning; with the Snowdrift very hot in the beginning, the surface of the food is immediately cooked. This prevents | J the fat from getting in and the food juices from getting out. The other objection to fried foods was their expense—fry- L ij ing required so much lard or butter, it was by far the most expensive method of cooking. Snowdrift has also overcome this. In frying you can use Snowdrift over and over again, | frying different articles in the same Snowdrift. Fry fish today, strain the Snowdrift and fry chicken to morrow in the same Snowdrift. The chicken will ' not taste of fish. Frying with Snowdrift is a < decided economy. Try it!, •- tcowdiift !a sold only by thecan— nner sold from barrets and tubs.

S PROCESS Savannah NewOrleane 1 - jp. TKWVUM Clu<-igo &an Francisco —. As be listened to the millionaire’s evi dence. given with a suave ease and delib eration. Rimington for the first time found himself aware of the extraordinary power publicity occasionally possesses of re ducing the importance of facts. It almost seemed jo him that there might have been a conspiracy between the coroner and the millionaire, so pat can e the questions, so pat camp Saxe’s well-modulated, concise answers; a conspiracy to weave about the map. already deprived of that definite per sonality which a name Implies and alluded to as "the prisoner," a chain of circum stantial evidence so perfect - so horribly perfect-*-that every instinct of fair play in Rimington rose up against it. It Was not that anything that Saxe said in an swer to those swift questions was un true: it was something much more sub tle than that the deft conveying of an impression, the skillful suppression of a detail or a phrase. Morbid Thoughts. Throughout the varying evidence that followed Rimington. sitting there at the hack of the court, felt, with a feeling of impotent disgust, like a man who watches the weaving of a web of lies In which he is already himself entangled. The conviction was with him when the summons. "Call Edmond Levasseur." came that whatever the man might say. whatever explanation he might volunteer, would be as the useless heating of surf against the unyielding face of a granite rock. A gigantic will power was in force determined to prove him guilty. It was in vain that he compelled himself to re member that this was merely a prelimi nary a formal inquiry- that no definite issue of doom hung on its pronounce ment, whatever it might be. Looking, not at the prisoner, who stood up now before the public, but at the smooth, horselike face, of the foreman of the Jury, it seemed to him that already he beard the man condemned, saw' the solemn farce of the’ adjusting of the black can. It was hideously morbid, of course the perhaps inevitable outcome of these three days of appalling strain; yet as later Rimington found himself walking Hi rough the crowded streets towards his lodgings In Chandos street he fell that, morbid or not, his premonition had justified itself. The man who, calling himself Edmond Levasseur, had yet by action and speech revealed himself as undeniably English, bail made his explanation of his presem e in the house in Tempest street that night with no success. His frank admission of bls intention to steal Mr. Fitzstephen’s collection of jewels, which were world famous, had availed him very litt’*>. He had stated with perfect accuracy as Rimington only too well knew- how. breaking Into the house by file back en trance. he had been attacked in the semi darknejßS of the hall by a man. who, knocking him down, had effected bis es cape by the way by which he himself had entered. Xgainst this unconvincing statement was the weighty fact that the murdered man's most notable gem had been found In his possession, and this in spite of his denial of ever having been upstairs. The prisoner, with a cynical gaiety of attitude that bad the worst of effects upon the minds of the extremely stolid jury, had reserved his explanation of that fact. That was all. The inevitable ver dict had been passed that John Janies Fitzstephen had met his death at the hands of the man at present in custody, and the inevitable order of demand for trial had followed. , As Rimington walked fragments of con versation from the passersby came io his cars; the excited spectators escaped from court, their appetite for the great coming duel of the Crown vs. Levasseur 1 whetted by the morning’s mimic court, were laying down the law. "The only verdict possible. Why. the man’s as guilty as Judas. The. farce of wasting public money on a trial when, in a case like this, a man is taken red handed! At the best it only amounts to a survival of death by torture!" Continued Tomorrow, The Right Road to Health By Annette Kellermann; -V s *— t ifzi .A I d ■lB 5f Ztf Ssff ZY./y .

As 1 bought the ear with money which I earned myself. I'm very proud of it and very careful of it, too, be cause it represents some weeks of hard work You will notice that the joy riders who speed along wrecking automobile? are seldom the owners of the pars themselves—and If they own It, they didn't earn it.

Then 1 get out and And out what is the trouble with the ma- I chine, which has sent me its little note of warning. I'm very careful of it. because it's expe-sive, and I'm equally careful of that other wonderful machine which was given into my care - my own bod.' . Everyday Carelessness. Most people are willing to buy the best kind of oil for their automobiles, while they feed their bodies with food which nature never intended it to di gest. They are careful to heed the slightest signal of warning, that little sound which tells them that something is wrong with the running gear of their ears, but their own bodies are often neglected until repairs are impossible, or very expensive, anyhow. I know I am quite daffy on the sub ject of health, and while I have known many wonderful Invalids who by their courage and splendid example helped all the rest of their sex, 1 still feel that t'ne average woman's disposition and happiness depend upon her physical health, and that it lies largely in her power to be well and strong instead of sickly and complaining. Bodily poise and mental poise go I hand in hand. I hear you exclaim: "Oh. that's all ! very well for her to say: she's perfect- Ily well, but look at me. I've never been i at all strong!" A Lesson For You. It's just for YOU that I am saying I these things. You've never been very i well because you’ve petted and pitted yourself and you have formed the had I habit of suggesting to yourself that you were not as strong and healthy as other women. This bad habit ought to be the first note of warning that you ate on the wrong track, off the road that leads to health and on th» path that ends in semi-invalidism. The first tiling necessary to bo really well is will power. Stop saying to yourself. "I'm too tired The Perfect Laxative For Elderly People Agr has its attractions no leas than youth in » jnore serene and quieter life. But it is this very life of rest without sufficient exercise that brings with It those disorders that arise from In activity. Chief of these are a chronic, persistent constipation. Most elderly people are troubled hi this way. with accompanying symptoms of belching, drowsiness after eating, headaches and general lassitude. Fre quently there is difficulty of digesting even light food- Much mental trouble ensues, as it Is hard to find a suitable remedy. First of all the advice may be given that elderly people should not use salts, cathartic pills or powders, waters or any of the more violent purgatives. What they need, women as well as men.

Make your mind positive against these suggestions. Stop being like Rip Van Winkle, who always took one drink more and said that one didn’t count.

No one stands upon their toes without keeping their mind on what they are doing If they didn't they would shake about like aspen trees in the wind. I don't always want to exercise every day. but I know it’s the only way to keep in physical trim and so I make myself do it. Make Yourself Exercise. Once you have decided that you will take some exercise every day of your life, make un your mind in what spirit you will do this work for health's sake, whether you will take It as unpleasant drudgery or as play. Call It Play. f advise you to look upon It as play and t” put yourself in the frolicsome mood of a child. , People say they are not accountable for their moods and can not change them. I don't believe that is so. Good will and quick physical exercise will banish any dull depressing mood al most before you know it. If you sil down and think about yourself and how unhappy and de spondent you are, you will get more and more moody.

This poisonous waste product is'part of the rhythm of the chemistry of the body. By exercising the body these poisons are eliminated quickly and naturally. When they are allowed to remain In the body, how ever, the symptoms of fatigue, lazi ness. depression and general physical sluggishness develop lnt,o sickness. I know that a great many women who work hard at household duties say they are not healthy, though they get plenty of exercise. The human machinery to keep in good shape must not lie overworked either, and above all things It must he worked intelligently. Now. one kind of housekeeper does not save herself She rather prides herself on the fact that her work is never done, that she Is the flrst one up In the morning, the last to go to bed. and that her days are spent in a long, laborious round of hard, physical ac tivities- of course, she is worn out—of course, she is a nervous wreck.

Benjamin franklin once said of himself as a public speaker: “I was but a bad speaker, never eloquent, subject to much hesi tation in my choice of words, hardlj' correct in language, and yet I generally carry my point.” The reason for this was his known integrity. "Hence it was." he says, "that I had so much weight with my fellow citizens." A business mtfn speaking recently about the one quality he looked for in a man, gave the first place to Reliabili ty. This Is the quality that his feliow citizens found in Franklin. He hesi tated in public spee’h, but he never hesitated to be honest; to be there when wanted; to account for himself fully whenever any account itad to be made. The qualities, of integrity and relia bility are simply other words for what we mean by character, the one thing a man builds every day of his life by his every act. Character has been defined as human nature in its best form, as moral order embodied in the individual. Character means this: ALWAYS TRY REALLY TO BE WHAT YOU WANT TO APPEAR TO BE. 11. This very desirable asset—character —differs in the manufacture very widely from a suit of clothes. It can not be put off and on as a garment. You can not buy it ready-made. It is a hand-made product and it grows slowly. Lord Collingwood once said to a young man: "The character that you will take with you through life will be made before you are 25." William Cobbett, the English politi cal writer, knew that he must get a little knowledge before he could tell people what he wanted to say—that is. he knew he must work and pay in or der to be what lie wanted to be. He began with English grammar, learning it, so he tells u’s, while he was a private soldier. His pay was twelve cents per day.

This sort of work could be done only in daylight. At night he had no oil or candle, and if he must lock at his lesson it had to be done at the fire side when no one else was there. For the purchase of pen or paper, the money came'out of twelve cents, which means that it came out of his food. His case illustrates how men in the same circumstances differ—because they are born w.ith different desires. He once said: "I bad to read and write amid the talking, laughing, singing, whistling and brawling of at least half a score of the most thoughtless men.” This means that In that roomful of men ten were brawling and raising pandemonium while one was quietly building character. 111. The president of a large corporation told me recently this: “I take pride in my relation and standing to the bank with which I do business. I have sustained the honor of my name there for 46 years. Just as soon as I could I bought a share of the bank's stock, and I have kept on buying it, to establish my faith with them and theirs with me. “If I was asked.” he went bn, "to give advice to young men about to go into business, or to those who want to get on in life, I should say this: "1. Never'think of building business alone; build business and character. ”2. When you make a promise, signed or unsigned, keep it to the full extent. "3. Do not go down Into the sixtiei and seventies of life with nothing but a pocket full of money; have s heart full of sympathy, of generosity, and good will. "4. You can do plenty of business by crow ding the othet fellow out, and you may be called successful, but do not carry the memory of the injustice of your own actions into old age. It is not comforting. "5. And once again: Never build business alone —build CHARACTER."
