THE GEORGIAN'S MAQAZJNE PAGE “Ihe Gates of Silence” A STORY OF LOVE. MYSTERY AND HATE, WITH A THRILLING POR TRAYAL OF LIFE BEHIND PRISON BARS. TODAY’S IXSTALLMEXT. There was a stir of expectancy as the man, captured by the police in the house in Tempest street, was brought into court. Rimington. craning his neck, found it hard to get the glimpse of him for which he felt a curious, upleaping eagerness. Then, with a sudden cleavage of the crowd, he had a clear vision of the man— of a thin, brown face that was full of character, a handsome face that, in its lines, resembled the profiles of those Ro man emperors that have come down to us on their coinage: a face that for all its undeniable strength was an evil face, lit by eyes of i very noticeable light blue, that looked out on the world Mjith a sneering contempt. A Previous Meeting. "Good Lord!” Rimington muttered the' exclamation under his breath. A moment since he would have been prepared to swear that he had no recol lection of the man whose entrance into ihe hall at Tempest street on the night of the murder had 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 sprawling by that unexpected blow which had covered his own retreat. h#» 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, .lack Rim ington found his opinion already formed as he loked at the prjsoner. An opinion that resolved itself into actual words in bls 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, and he laid claim to no great skill in physiognomy; still, the prisoner was not of the type that does open murder. Up was convinced of that. On the obvious surface he belonged to those who, if they deal death, do so by subtlety and stealth. The 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 what 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. Eitzstephen. 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; 9 "I saw a man. sir.” "The prisoner?” ”1 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 IrJ 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 There used to be two objections to fried foods —they were not nearly as digestible as foods pre- Kptiz KT pared in other ways. Now, however, as most good cooks know, this has been overcome by frying in Sy Snowdrift. There is no more health ful way to fry i foods than in Snowdrift. It stand? a very high temperature without burning; with the Snowdrift very hot in lhe beginning, / the surface of the food is immediately cooked. This prevents ‘ the fat from getting in and the food juices from getting out. The other objection to fried foods was their expense—fry i ing required so much lard or butter, it was by far the most " expensive method of cooking. Snowdrift has also overcome • this. Tn frying you can use Snowdrift over and over again, f frying different articles in the same Snowdrift. Fry ; fish today, strain the Snowdrift and fry chicken Io- I morrow in lhe same Snowdrift. The chicken will Spgg' I not taste of fish. Frying with Snowdrift is a ® s decided economy.

It almost seemed to him that there might have been a conspiracy between the coroner and the millionaire, so pat can o the questions, so pat game Saxe’s well-modulated, concise answers; a conspiracy i<* weave about the man. already deprived of that definite per sonality which a name implies and alluded to as "the prisoner." a ctyain of circum stantial evidence so perfect -so horribly perfect that ever.' 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 ihe varying evidence that followed Rimington. sitting there at the back 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 beating of surf against the unyielding face of a granite rock. \ gigantic will power was in force determined to prove him guilty. It was in vain that he compelled himself tn re member that this was merely a* prelimi nary a formal inquiry -1 hat no definite issue of doofh hung on its pronounce ment. whatever it might he. Looking, not at the prisoner, who stood up now before the public, but at the smooth, horsclike face of the foreman of the jury . seemed to him that already he heard the man condemned, saw the solemn farce of the adjusting of the black cap. It was hideously morbid, of course the perhaps inevitable outcome of these three days of appalling strain; yet as later Rimington found himself walking through the crowded streets towards'his lodgings in Chandos street he felt 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, had made his explanation of his presence in the house in Tempest street that night with no success. His frank admission of his Intention to steal Mr. Fitzstephen’s collection of jewels, which were world famous, had availed him very little. He had stated with perfect accuracy-as Rimington only too well knew how. breaking Into the house by the hack en trance. he had been attacked in the semi darkness of the hall by a man. w.hA. knocking Jiim down, had effected his es cape by the way by which he himself had entered. Against 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 hg.d 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 James 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 to his ears; the excited spectators escaped from court, their appetite for the great coming duel <»f the Crown vs. Levasseur whetted by the mornings mimic court, were laying down the law. "’rhe 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.

MSI OB i I HAVE a white automobile which I run myself. As I bought the car 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 automobiles are seldom the owners of the cars themselves —and if they own it, they didn't earn it. That's quite another matter. My car sings as it runs along and I listen to this humming and the minute the tune changes f know something is the matter. Then I get out and find out what is the trouble with the ma chine, which has sent me its little note of warning. I'm very careful 'of it, because it's expensive, and I'm equally careful of that other wonderful machine which was given into my care -my own body. 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 w ith the running gear of their cars, but their own bodies ate often neglected until repairs are impossible, or very expensive, anyhow. 1 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 a 1 ! the rest of their sex. 1 still feel that the average woman's disposition and j happiness depend upon her physical health, and that it lies largely in het power to be well and strong instead of sickly and complaining. Bodily poise and mental poise go hand in hand. I hear you exclaim: ''till, that's all very well for her to say: she's perfect ly well, but look at me. I've never been at all strong!" A Lesson For You. It’s just for Y<H' that I am saying these things. You've never been very well because you’ve petted and pitied \ ourself and you have formed the had habit of suggesting’ to yourself that you were not as strong and healthy a“ other women. This bad habit ought to be the Hist note of warning that you are on tlte wrong track, off the road that leads to health and on*the path that ends in semi-in validism. The first thing necessary to be really well is will power. Stop saying to yourself.

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, hardly correct in language, and yet I generally carry nty 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 man 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 fellow citizens found in Franklin. He hesi tated In public speech, hut he never hesitated to be. honest: to be there when wanted: to account for himself fully whenever any account had 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 RE 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 he wanted to be. He began with English grammar, learning it, so he tells us, while he was a private soldier. His pay was twelve cents per day. Sitting with his knapsack in his Shetect Uiu>i4etf!

This sort of work could be done only in daylight. At night he had no oil or candle, and if he must look 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 with different desires. He once, said: “I had 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 hank with which I do business. I have sustained the honor of ray 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 on, “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 sixties and seventies of life with nothing hut a pocket full of money; have a heart full of sympathy, of generosity, and good will. "4. You can do plenty of business hy crowding the other fellow out, and 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.”
