“The Gates of Silence”

TODAY’S INSTALLMENT.
Then her eyes fastened themselves on
jury. The foreman was a tall, thin
an. with an elusive resemblance to a
famous, much-caricatured politician. She
had noticed certain mannerisms that had
appeared vaguely familiar, and now. in
•n -■ moment of hideous tension, she real
.. the source from, which they had
sprung. She could see that he was in
:■ nsely disturbed by the task laid upon
p.m. and she hated and loved him both
~• his agitation. His face was livid, and
from time to time he wiped his brow
f irtively with his handkerchief, which,
like a nervous woman, he had rolled into
a tight ball.
Gentlemen, are you agreed upon your
verdict?"
To the man in the dock; to Betty Lums
,Tn. with her eyes fixed on him in that
las: glance of despair; to others, less out
wardly moved in that vast crowd, the
s lence seemed to hiss with one word. Yet
th, ( stillness of the court was not broken
ter a couple of seconds. The foreman es
rd to speak: his voice cracked and he
rubbed bis brow nervously. Then the an
swer came —came in a voice so shrill, so
staccato and unnatural, that at another
moment it might have raised a smile.
"We are!"
Do you find the prisoner guilty or not
guilty'."
“Guilty!”
The faint rustle, like the rustle of wind
over grass, which had passed over the
court at the first breaking of the silence,
increased. Somewhere In those packed
benches a women gave a cry; a second
answered it, to be silenced instantly.
There was an agitated movement. The
woman who had cried first had subsided,
fainting. No one heeded her. not even her
companion of yesterday, with the smelling
salts “ ’andy" against such a contingency.
"And that is the verdict of you all?”
"Os every one of us.”
Unco again the old fierce Justice had
been done. A life for a life—a life given
for a life taken —even if the life to be
paid out were a-n innocent one. (inee
more blind Justice ploughed on in her car,
the sharp blades of its wheels mowing
down the irinocenl and the guilty alike.
Caught On.
"Guilty!" The words came to Jack
Itimington's ears accompanied not by
tear.-, but by a gust of Hate’s laughter.
<’aught on! And not a commiserating
w. ■ d or look from one bf those friends
wi:o would have crowded round him had
i titc smiled and not frowned: if Hate had
snar.'d that holocaust at Westport and the
tragic comedy of the house of the clocks.
Then, like a stab of agony, the thought
of Betty! She was staring at him. and
the sight of her face was like a knife
turned in his heart. What did that look
moan? Why did she stretch out her hand
and let' it fall? Heaven! —she was not
going to make a scene—a useless scene
that would result in nothing but the
bringing about her of the bloodhounds of
publicity. His lips moved in a voiceless
prayer, not for himself, but for the women
he loved. God help her to be brave —help
her to be silent.
"Not guilty!” The same clear, ringing
voice, in which ho had uttered his plea,
responding now to the usual question as
to whether he could adduce any reason
why sentence should not be passed against
him. "I declare before God that I am
not guilty."
Nothing dramatic, nothing sensational,
only a brave man meeting his fate as an
llrglishman should, and showing an un
broken front to friend and foe alike.
There was something In Jack Itimington’s
demeanor at tliat supreme moment which
shook the conviction of more than one
spectator, something in the carriage of his
upright form, his unruffled look that
helped to dispel the unfavorable impres
sion that had grown steadily through the
two days of the trial.
The intense silence of the court was
broken by the sudden rustling of crisp
paper. lake a man forgetful of his sur
roundings. Paul Saxe had crushed some
papers, on which he had been making
notes from time to time, in his slim, yel
low hands.
I he judge began Io put on the black
■up. He was a tall, lean man. with a
parchment-hued, lined face and vivid.
Piercing eyes- the very ideal of a banging
judge according to popular fancy; and the
- nail square of black velvet gave him a
dreadful and sinister look. But it was not
at the judge that the myriad eyes of the
' '■ url looked, but at the prisoner in the
"JOHN RIMI'NGTON!” The Judge’s
voice was very solemn-sounding in the
deathlike silence. “The jury have found
the only verdict which it seems to me was
possible according to their oath and their
conscience. It only remains to me now to
oass the sentence of the law upon you. It

The prison chaplain uttered a low
! ‘Amen.”
“May the Lord!” Oh. surely God must
intervene—it couldn’t be possible that a
i man should suffer the supreme penalty for
i another's sin. The world grew suddenly
I dark about Betty Lumsden, and the sound
of many waters roared in her ears.
As the sound of the chaplain’s single,
softly uttered word died, the silence be-j
i came a hum—a hum instantly subdued not
by the ushers but by a unanimously con
centrated interest. Some one had risen
in the court —a woman.
Several men rose hastily and went to
her assistance. One man laid his hand
on her. but she shook it off with a cry it
, was Paul Saxe.
“Let me speak “
, At the sound of this upraised voice, the
prisoner showed the first sign of emotion
, he had displayed during the course of the
trial. His face suddenly ashen, he leaned
j forward, his hands grasping the bar in
• front of him.
But it was not at the woman’s face not
at Betty Lumsden’s griefconfronted face
that his eyes were fixed. It was at Haul
Saxe that he looked with a glance of en
treaty.

. that was so soon to come to him. In the
half-numbed. half-dazed condition to
which fatigue and nervous strain had
reduced him. this coming death seemed
all-merciful. I« vely. a veiled bride whose

Betty!
The walls of the cell widened out and
disappeared. The hard stretch of the bed
on which he lay lessened to the sea,t of
a punt, and he sat under the shadow
of overhanging trees and told a girl that
old story which is ever new:
“I love you, Betty! Betty, I love you!”
A sudden cry broke from him; he start

by a man’s awful, tearless sobs. Not for

It wasn't just. God knew he could
not bear it. Ho started un wildly’ and
dashed toward the door of the cell like a
man possessed by a ’sudden madness. The
, light falling through the spy-hole in the
door showed his face in that moment
to the vigilant watcher as something less
, than human. Then, with a hardly con
scious instinct, Rimington flung up his

though he realized that it was not law

the. utter nakedness of his tortured soul.

hours of the night, watching for the first

After that moment of madness that

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * By Beatrice Fairfax I
PERHAPS SHE WOULDN’T CARE.
Dear Miss Fail fax:
I am a young man of twenty
two, and have bet n keeping com
pany with a girl a few years my
junior. Lately she has become
Jealous because she raw me dancing
with other girls, and this resulted
in a quarrel.
I would like to discontinue my
acquaintance with her because of
her foolish actions. I do not think
that quarreling on trifling things
would make a happy home. I
would like to tell her about il. but
do not want to make her feel bad
about it. G. M.
Would you object if she danced with
other men? Are you as fair to her as
you demand that she be to you?
You aiv right in thinking that quar
reling so much means unhappiness for
both, but don't be too sure that her
heart will break if you "discontinue
the acquaintance.”
If she has the right sort of pride, she
will welcome the release.
TEACH HER TO BELIEVE.
Dear Miss Pairfax:
I've been keeping company with a
young lady for the past three
months and I love her dearly. How
can I prove my love to her? I show
it and she knows 1 love her, but
she does not believe me.
Tite reason she does not believe is
she has kept company with many
other fellows, and she says 1 am
like the rest. J. F.
The girl undoubtedly has had an ex
perience in which her faith in mankind
was badly shattered.
You must teach her you are better
than the others. She must learn there
is a devotion that never fails. You
are honest; you are honorable; you are
true. She can not accept all this at
one gulp. Let your conduct each day
prove It.
HE IS LOYAL, AT LEAST.
Dear .Miss Fairfax:
I like a young man who calls at
my home. When alone with me he
reprimands me for anything I did
or said while out with boys and
girls. The part I do not under
stand is, should any one dale to
say anything against me. he "ill
call this person down, no matter
where or with whom.
PERPLEXED
He finds fault with you. but it is to
your face. And his defense of you
when you are not present is pleasing
and fine.
Don't forget that such loyalty is rare.
Perhaps his criticism of your conduct is
deserved. Did you ever think of that?
Perhaps it has a better origin than
simply a desire to find fault.
YOU DON’T LOVE HIM.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 am nineteen .'ears of age and
have known a young man for the
past three months. This young
man comes to see me twice a week
and is very prompt in keeping his
engagements. During the last three
weeks I have been quarreling with
him constantly, merely through
Jealousy.
He has given up all his girl
friends, of which he had many, for
me. Now, do you think it would
be proper for me to give up my
gentlemen friends? He has spoken
of marriage to me. Do you think I
should entertain such an idea, only
knowing him such a short time? On
his last visit I had a quarrel with
him and feel very sorry, as it was
my fault. Do you think it would be
proper for me to tell him so when
hi calls again, and "ill you kindly
let me know how I can stop thts
constant quarreling, as I dearly
love him? ERASTUS, ’O6.
Love can not ho defined as "liking
one young man more than all other
admirers." Perhaps you don't like them
very much.
If you quarrel constantly, you should
not think of marriage, for the quarrels
after that event would be more serious
and more painful.
Ho is more generous than you, as he
gave up all his friends for you and you

HAVEN’T YOU LET HIM KNOW ITT
Dear Miss- Fairfax:
I am deeply in love with a young
man two years my senior, and have
tried every way to win him. He
visits me frequently and often
sends mo presents, but still goes
out with other girls. W. B. H.
You have made a mistake in letting
him see you love him. Your second
error was in accepting his gifts.
Accept no more. Put yourself a lit
tle above all other girls, and I am sure
he will think more of you. He will at
least begin to take a special interest
in you, and therein lies the awakening
of love.
MUCH DEPENDS ON THE MAN.
Dear Mists Fairfax:
I have known a young man for
a month or so. He. being a great
motorist, wishes me to go out in
the car with him. Do you think it
proper for me to go without a chap
eron ? E. B.
The habits of a man. his character,
the length of time a gill has known
him, the opinion of her parents con
cerning him—-all count in determining
such a question.
Rut it is always safer to have a chap
eron. and a chaperon in your case is a
necessity; for you have known him only
a month'.

Daysey Mayme and Her Folks
By Frances L. Garside
IF there had been anything in The
Complete Letter Writers Friend
that fitted the case. Lysander John
Appleton's task would have been easy.
But though he looked it through from
cover to cover, he found nothing.
"What’s the use of writing one, any
way?" he grumbled to his wife. "He
knows I'm sorry."
"You men," replied his wife, "never
do the Proper Thing. 1 have written
all the letters of condolence and con
gratulation to your kin ever since I
married you. Now, 1 insist on your
taking a turn.*
He sweat blood for an hour, and tried
so hard that finally Mrs. Appleton and
Daysey Mayme wrote models for him,
and left him to his task.
Mrs. Appleton's and Daysey Mayme's
letters were very much alike. There
was much in them about Reconciliation,
and a Reunion Up Yonder, and the
Dear Departed being Better Off, and
Daysey Mayme wound up hers with the
Beautiful Sentiment that "The same
hand of providence that dealt you this
Blow will bend a tender Ear to your cry
of Distress.”
Lysander John scratched his head at
this beautiful sentiment.
“If 1 wrote Tom a letter like that,”
he said, "he’d stop here on his way
back from the cemetery to thrash me."
His wife had expressed the regret
many times In bis presence that there
are no men these days as polite as
Chesterfield.
Chesterfield! A happy thought! He
would read a life of Chesterfield and
find his model letter there.
He found it!
"I hope, honored and respected sir,"
Lysander John wrote his bereaved rel
ative after some hours perusal of the
life of Chesterfield, “that you will do me

not insensible to your unhappiness nor
unaware of your emotions of distress,
Mme. D’Mille’s Beauty Hints
(From The Journal of Fashion.)
"No woman who prizes true beauty will
neglect her eyebrows and eyelashes.
Brushing the eyebrows trains them to
grow arch-shape and applying pyroxin
will make them grow thick and silky.
Pyroxin applied to roots will make the
lashes grow long and silky.
"To keep the skin clear, smooth, fair
and pliant use a simple complexion beau
tlfler made by dissolving an original pack
age of mayatone In a half-pint of witch
hazel Gently massage face, neck and
arms with this and you will escape freck
les, tan and sunburn. It prevents that
'shiny' look and will not rub off or show
like powder, while it gives a lovely, soft
an<l youthful complexion.
"Any person desiring abundant, glossy
hair should use a dry shampoo frequent
ly. Mix four ounces of powdered orris
root with an original package of therox
and sprinkle a teaspoonful' of this mix
ture on the head and brush it thoroughly
through the hair. Therox makes the hair
light and fluffy, and beautifully lustrous.
“Paste made by mixing water with a
little powdered delatone and applied to a
hairy surface will remove every trace of
superfluous hair or fuzz. Leave the paste
on a minute or two, then remove and
wash the surface. This treatment is
safe, sure and speedy and leaves the skin
hairless, firm and smooth.”
