THE GEOBGOWS MAGAZINE PAGE “The Gates of Silence” By Meta Stmmins, Author of "Hushed Up” TODAY’S INSTALLMENT. Odd about that system of finger-prints. Sc his thought ran on. Was It really so 'nfalllble as it professed to be? he won dered. The whole system in reality was extraordinarily unlike that of which he had read detailed descriptions In Illustrat ed magazines. At Brixton they had made, not an impression of an ordinary thumb mark such as a dirty finger might leave on a white surface, but an ingenious square mpression that showed the lines at the = des of the thumb as well as those on the flat of it—an Impression of every fin ",. r of each hand with its side markings. Gting there In the dock, with every eye m'the court on him. with the woman he i-ived sitting so near him. with Death waiting for him in the background, that was what Jack Rimington thought of while the prosecution stated its case—of the copper plate and the Inked roller by means of which his finger-marks had been registered at Brixton, and the sign of his f ~'s t fmger fresh-dipped on the inked plate that had accompanied his signature to the form, like a wafer on a legal document. Words forced themselves on his hear ing ■When arrested lhe prisoner stated that he was on the point of visiting the police, with a view to communicating to them knowledge of certain facts concerning occurrences at* the house in Tempest Street He would leave it to the court to consider the remarkable silence which the prisoner had maintained as to his pres ence in Tempest street on the night of the murder, even although another man had been arrested for the murder, and would inevitably, but for an accident al most unparalleled In the annals of crime, have suffered the supreme penalty of the law for an offence of which he was inno cent." The voice of the prosecuting counsel was a splendid weapon of Irony at that mment as he raised it and looked across at the man in the dock, who became all at once an object, no longer for doubt ful pit.', but for well'-merited scorn and detestation. ■t leave It to the court to imagine what was the reason that dictated the remark abb silence on the part of the prisoner.” the splendidly ironical voice continued, "tht man of honorable training, of pre sumably the average instincts of a gen tleman. who had been heard to speak in tones "f the utmost violence of the mur dered man. who was known to have nour ished a long-standing grudge against him Rimington, listening now in spite of himself, heard the speaking man forge link after link in the plain chain of facts that formed the case for the treasury. Such a convincing chain—and. next to the presence of those blood-stained fin ger-prints on the wall, the strongest link in it had been forged by Saxe when, at the inquiry, he had allowed the fact to be reluctantly drawn-from him that his presence there in Tempest street that night had been due to the fact of an ap pointment with the prisoner on a matter connected with the murdered man and another whose name, he had refused to litter—a lady's name, communicated in writing to the judge. The prisoner had denied keeping the appointment, but had afterwards admitted that he had done so. Nothing could have been more reluctant than the financier's. admissions—nothing had more impressed the jury who had committed Rimington for trial. And now today— >h, they'd get their verdict, right enough, " Rimin’gton said to himself, and refused to look across the court to where Betty Lumsden sat with a face whiter than her dress and eyes that held a hor ror worse than death. The first witness for the prosecution was Paul Saxe. His cross-examination had not ended when the 'court adjourned for luncheon. THE SHADOW OF THE ROPE. Three o'clock on the second day of the trial of John Rimington, accused of the murder of Mr. Eitzstephen. of Tempest street. The raised tiers of benches fuller even than yesterday, if possible, stringent thoiigh the formalities for admission had been. N hope tn the heart of the counsel, famous pleader of lost causes though he was as he sank back in his place, his impassioned speech for the defense con cluded. No hope In the heart of the man on whose behalf so much eloquence had been outpoured: from the beginning there ad been no hope there. No hope at this moment, only a blank and torturing de spair in the heart of the girl who sat with her head resting on her hand, giving rm i bought at all to the curious eyes bent upon her. conscious only of a shame that forbade her to look toward the place where the impassive man she had not dared to raise a voice to aid or save waved for the inevitable end. h seemed to Mr. Paul Saxe, whose bent of mind inclined to an observation of such symbolism, that there was a listlessness in the very air; a change had come over 'he atmosphere, the sunshine of the morning had given place to one of those Dental Work for Children r.

Watching the judge, the financier could have imagined that the general apathy had communi cated itself to him—that his perfectly just and impartial words yet covered some thing of the uninterestedness of a fore gone conclusion A man sitting near him whispered, The jury have rto need to consider their verdict, and Saxe, pretending not to have heard, yet acquiesced in his heart: and no one in the court would have ac quiesced more heartily than the prisoner himself, had he heard the words. He had no defense: he had known that when he entered the dock. The few witnesses called on his behalf had been worthless so far as the case was concerned —wit- nesses as to character and general san itj of pursuit such as the average man would have no difficulty in calling. 'I hereas the case for the prosecution had been strong right through: he himself would not have hesltaed to condemn a man on it. From the evidence of Leth bridge and Bondrax, the club gossips, who had sedulously retailed his foolish brag gadocio regarding Fltzstephens. to the evidence of the taxi driver, who. in a fit of conscience engendered by the nagging of his wife, had come forward with his most conclusive and damaging statement regarding the fare he had picked up so near Tempest street. More than Betty's silence, that hurt him so strangely even while he thanked heaven for whatever had brought it; more than Paul Saxe's evidence, so skillfully given with that assumed reluctance that gave additional weight to every point— this evidence of the little cockney who had acted so friendly a part toward him on the night c' the murder hurt Riming ton. his nerves strained to snapping point now by the two days' strain. Awaiting the End. 1 here was no one to be depended upon, it seemed, on earth. And in heaven? The heavens were as brass above him. He stood there waiting, a man tasting the worst agony that the heart can know, the final extinguishing of hope within it. Os those personally interested in the case, only one person left the court after the judge's summing up and was away during the time-considerably under half an hour- -tliat the jury were absent con sidering their verdict. That person was Paul Saxe. Those who observed him closely—and Betty Lumsden, the woman who, In the nature of things, knew that, whatever the outcome of today's trial might be. one day she might be called upon to fulfill her promise and become the wife of this man. was one of them— say that an unusual spirit of restless ness possessed Saxe. He looked ill in mind and body—the atmosphere of radiant health that was his most salient charac teristic had vanished. He had been the victim of an accident lately, people said, noticing a livid, scarcely healed wound which disfigured one side of his face. Only two people—Saxe himself and the proprietor of the curio shop at the sign of the Toby Jug in the quiet back street of Westminster—knew the precise nature of that accident, which had occurred on the day that Samuel Jex’s sorely af flicted daughter, Jennie, died. “That man- that evil man," Betty whis pered in her heart "He and I between us—he and I—are sending Jack to his death.” Even now—now. before It was too late, she must speak and tell all she knew. How often she had assured herself of that imperative necessity, but now the sands were running out fast—fast: She clenched her hands and gave a fee ble little moan "One of the men at the table near her looked around and made a movement as though to rise She rec ognized him as Rimington's solicitor, and tried to smile. She must speak! ' The remembrance of those words which Paul Saxe had whispered in her ear on that day when Rimington had been ar rested danced before her eyes In letters of fire The awful argument for silence, against which even her love—that love that would have given life Itself to save this man in the dock—was' not proof. That argument that seemed woven out of the very flesh and blood of those most near to her. Centuries seemed to her to elapse be fore the door opened and the Jurymen were again ushered into their box. As they en tered an ominous hush settled upon the court. The Awful Hour. Betty gave one agonized glance about her, a half-unconscious glance—and as she looked the faces looming out of that great crowd seemed to merge into one composite face, alight with an awful ex pectant eagerness -a thirst for blood. Then, unwillingly, her eyes rested for a terrified moment on the prisoner in the dock, who had just been brought in again between his warders. Their eyes met. her lover's and her own. and she knew, despite the space that separata* them, the haze in the court, that he srtßfcd at her reassuringly. The smile seared her heart like a flame.

Rv MARGARET HURBARD ay|:r. Dear Miss Ayer: I am a girl of eighteen, and am considered attractive looking, but I am so discouraged because it seems impossible for me to ,be even or dinarily entertaining in society. I can't remember poeple's names or faces, unless I have seen them often, and this makes me so embarrassed that Tam just stupid. Also I never have anything to say in conversa tion. Do you know of any way that I could learn to remember names and faces, and is there any hook I can get that would tell about the art of conversing? SENSITIVE. POOR Sensitive! You are one of mapy who would like to learn the complete art of polite and witty conversation in ten lessons. There is nothing more discomforting in the world than to be an attractive looking young girl and to realize that one becomes" tongue-tied the moment one is expected to entertain a guest. A great many girls acquire the gift of gab at an early age. and there after never stop long enough to give their unfortunate families time to re cover, so that really, my depr Sensi tive, you are lucky in one way, for nobody will wish to run away from you because of your chattering tongue. Os course you are suffering agony be cause you never know what topic of conversation t<> begin on, and when you look into the face stranger who has just been introduced your mind at once becomes a blank. But really, it might be worse. I'ntll you find your tongue and become an easy conversationalist, you might practice being a good listener. If the guests you want to entertain are men you will find that listening is more profit able than speech. Few women are attentive listeners, and nothing is so flattering' and so courteous as the attitude of the good listener. Cultivate the art of listening, and at the same time make little mental notes of questions which arise in your mind, and which will keep the one sided conversation going in case the speaker should subside. The reason most women and almost all girls and poor- conversationalists is that they can't keep their minds on the subject in hand. The average girl talks aijout one • I 1 •‘NO-BODY LOVES A BALD MAN” Every day we see YOUNG men anc women, who have grown prematurely grey. They immediately fall into the "Old Age” cla««, because grey hairs are sc closely associated WITH OLD AGE. It is extremely discomforting and humil iating to be bald —to be grey when the years do not justify it. The girls laugh at the young men so marred—the young man soon learns to discriminate between natu ral hair in its full bloom of health and NATURAL COLOR, and shabby look ing grey and faded hair. Give nature a chance. If she is encour aged, stimulated, assisted, she will give you a head of hair that you will be proud of. Give it to her.

To be entertaining and bright re quires concentration of mind and effort. Don’t Be Self-Conscious. You can’t converse intelligently on general topics and keep thinking about yourself; how you look anti what impression you are making. Ttie self-conscious girl is never good at entertaining others because she is so busy worrying about herself. I can tell you how two young women succeeded in making excellent and entertaining talkers of them selves, and this may give you a pointer to help you in the difficult art of con versation. These two girls were about eighteen years of age. and they were the daugh ter and niece of a widower who was very fond of entertaining and looked to his two girls to play the part of hostesses. They had to meet strangers, both men and women, and were al ways at a loss for g. subject to talk about after they had exhausted the topic of the weather. A dinner had been planned to which a number of boresome people were in vited, and the two girls realized that there would ,be no conversation at the table unless It was supplied by them, so they deliberately set about to read up jokes and anecdotes, selecting such as would be more or less appropriate to the occasion and the guests invited. They wrote out bits of conversation that would lead up to these anecdotes They learned this conversation and the anecdotes by heart, and when the much dreaded entertainment took place they surprised their guests and themselves by their brilliant and almost spectacu lar display of wit and anecdote. A Good Lesson. In that one evening they achieved a reputation for cleverness which they were forced to live up to. and they read up and learn by heart all the witty stories and jokes which they could get hold of. The knowledge that they could be ehterfaining soon made them self-possessed enough to bring out shy and retiring guests and load them on to talk on interesting subjects. The girls made a rule never to gossip, never to talk about themselves, never to say a mean or unkind thing about any one else; when all topics failed they told one of their carefully prepared stories, and they ate non two of the most ! popular women I have ever known.

You can develop your memory for things and faces in this way. What To Do. As to memory for names, you can strengthen that, first by" associating the name with some impression or idea which you can link with it in your mind, if yon can not do it any othe’- way. write down the name of each new person whom you meet, with the de- I , scriptjon of that person, some special characteristic you have observed, and, ' if possible, any ideas about the occu pation and interests of your new ac quaintance. Many a society woman famous for her wonderful memory for names and faces keeps such a book, and one of our most famous presidential candidates kept a card index of all the people that he knew, their interests, hohhies, etc., tabulated according to towns. During Hie campaign he'd come to some little ■■jumping-off" place and, having care fully looked up his acquaintances in that town, he would clap them joyfully on the back and inquire minutely about their affairs, displaying a marvellous knowledge of their family history. His popularity was astounding, and his secretary never was without the fa mous card index. MOTHER OF LARGEJAMILY Tells How She Keeps Her Health Happiness For Those Who Take Her Advice.
