THE GEORGIAN’S MAGAZINE PAGE Daysey Mayme and Her Folks By FRANCES L. GARSIDE. THE ETERNAL QUESTION. THE friend* of a married woman • meet her for the first time in j years, and they a«k her e qu»»- < tion like this “How many children have >ou now" If she say* "Eight!" some friends claim, in tones of horror ' Well why on earth did you have so many" Other friends, who are extremely old fashioned. and therefore rar', say in pious tones "Well, the Lord HAS been good to you!” Which leaxes the mother of eight without a word m sa But when friends of a spin meet het for the flrst time in years they ask in the tones of one who knows. How does it happen you have never married" It is the eternal question every spin, meets on everx eternal occasion, and the degree of pity In which it Is asked never varies, the mother of eight ex pressing a« much pity as ihe mother of one Daysey Mayme Appleton has met this question every day since she passed twenty-five l<et it be known to her credit that she never looked at her married friends with a question of amaie, and teplied with the question. "How does it happen YOU have?" She Makes Up Her Mind. But recently she made up her mind she would answer the eternal question She would tell the whole story. She called on a friend, the mother of nine. The mother of nine used a baby’s dress to wipe molasses candy off a chair which she handed her callor. She prepared to feed the youngest, after slapping her seventh for pulling the hair of the eighth, and giving the eighth a cookie to console it. Then she sat back In her chair and looked with pity at Daysey Mayme How does It happen," she asked, “that you have never married?’’ Daysey Mayme was prepared "When 1 was nineteen.” she began, as one who has a long story to tell, "I was engaged to Phil Barbeck, and he” "Stop teasing that cat!" screamed the mother of nine. “And—Johnny, if you take another cooky from the Jar I'll whip you.” "Excuse me." she said io her caller. “Now. do go on.” “And he,” resumed Daysey Mayme. "didn't like it because I flirted with" The mother of nine left her chair abruptly, so abruptly that she deposited the ninth on Daysey Mayme’s lap be fore it had finished its dinner. Which made it set up a # howl. She grabbed her fifth by the arm. and her fourth by one leg, and dragged them, screaming, to the door, cuffing both as «he pro ceeded Then she shut them out. and returned to the ninth, who. however, refused to be consoled because of the interruption tn its meal, and yelled louder. The mother of nine walked the floor with it till it was quiet, and while she walked Daysey Mayme’s answer to the eternal question proceeded with inter ruptions like these It Was Like This. —"another man. and (If it's ihe ice man. tell him to come tomorrow 1 haven’t the change), so I broke the en gage" (There, look at tlie way you've torn your pants. I'll have to sit up all night to mend them)— "ment, and then there was Will” (Drat that child, what is it screaming for now?) "arbey, but” (No. 1 can’t give you a cent for candy. It is all 1 can do to get money out of your father for necessities, without such foolishness) etc., etc., for two hours, when Day sey Mayme left, with her story still un told "How does it happen you have n»vei married"" remains a question she has never answered.

So the days passed, and the weeks lengthened into months, until just—as it seemed to him when he had got to that stage of his prison life when the outer world had become more or less of an ab straction, and the inner life of the prison a more or less numb pain, the news came to him that for some reason his time of probation had been shortened, and that, instead of spending the probationary nine months at Wormwood Scrubs, he was to be drafted off at the end of the third to one of the regular convict establishments The thought of the Journey from I<on don to Btlmouth—which, after the veil of mysterious secrecy which is characteristic of prison discipline In such matters was withdrawn, he finally learned was bls destination slid not. oddly enough, fill Jack Rimlngton with any sense of shrink ing On the contrary, he felt a certain quickening of interest in hint under the crust of apathy that every day had seemed to be hardening upon his heart To leave this whitewashed cell, to breathe glr that was not the contami nated air of a prison exerdse'yard, to see green grass that was not overshadowed by prison walls perhaps to hear birds sing; the more he let his Imagination play over the pitiful fact of bls journey from one place of degradation to another the more Rimington's excitement grew. For all the pain that In accomplishment ft coat hint, perhaps this change saved him his reason, or at least arrested that mental degeneration that was undoubtedly in progress During the first weeks of his impels onment his mind had wrestled with the problem of the crime of which be was accused until his brain had reeled who had killed Fitzstephen? He had forced himself to face the fafcts of the money lender’s death from every point of view, to callously fix the guilt upon first one and then another.

Paul Saxe himself For a tune the conviction of Saxe’s implication in the crime was s<» strong as to induce that paroxysm of despair in which all things solid bail slipped from beneath his feet; but gradually the conviction bad died. It was not Paul Saxe. It was not Betty . no. never again would that thought cross his mind’ The weary treadmill of his thoughts had never brought him any nearer to a solution, a clew or a hope, and gradually the thoughts and wonderings and mental strivings had ceased Even the glad vision that had some times comforted and sometimes mad dened him. when lie had seen in imagi nation bls cell door flung open and a remorseful governor come to Inform him that the criminal bad confessed, ami that he was free- even that had passed also. He had begun to acquiesce tn his lot-begun to settle down to be a number, a man without a name, a small nut or rivet in a vast and complicated piece of machinery when just in time had come the merciful awakening of the change to Btlmouth "The shame of motl.» That was the phrase that came to Rlm ington s mind when lie saw his fellow travelers collected and himself mirrored in the person of each one of them.

Rimlngton had thought of none of these things Now the thought of them was to poison every moment of what had loomed up as a great and glori >us event in his life.

He was thankful when at last the train moved out from the station, thankful for the roar and rattle of the train after the silence of his cell, thankful even for the coarse laughter and conversation of Ws companions, the sound of human voices upraised in something that was not an order or a reproof; thankful to be herded with those to whose level the law had reduced him, out of sight of the shocked or horrified or gloating eyes of the free The train rushed on with its burden of ’he living dead, through the mean pur lieus of the great city, past suburban gar dens ablaze with autumn flowers, out through the wide spaces of the open coun try in Its glorious livery of red and gold overhead the wide spaces of the sky, about him the smiling, flying fields of an L’nglish countryside, before him the gray, desolate, hilly stretches of the peninsula of Bllmouth, bleak and treeless, with its vast gray quarries and its huge, unlovely fortresses where, in a world of silence, men work out the expiation of their sins When the gang of convicts alighted from the train a damp mist was blowing up from the channel. Chill and penetrat ing. it struck home Io Kimington i heart; yet the shiver that ran over him was not wholly physical. The desolate, cheerless aspect of the place seemed as though it might have been created for a convict settlement, so desolate was it, so plainly was the blight of formalism over every thing The exquisitely kept roads stretch ing io the vast prison, the mighty cliffs, even the magnificent sweep of the bay veiled in the gray mist seemed to em phasize the fact that this was a place where Nature herself had made an Im- WISCONSIN WOMAN’S FORTUNE Freed From Pain, Weakness, Terrible Backache and De spair by Lydia E.

Their blight seemed over everything. Rimington thought—the pris on blight that kills all that Is beautiful and bright and free in the hearts o! men. When, for the third time in his life, he passed behind the second great inner gates of a prison and heard them clang behind him. here more than ever before he realized that he was shut tn by gates of silence into a world of silence, a world of ghostly formalism peopled by silent shapes In the hideous livery of degrada , tion. a world that might have been, that was for all practical purposes cut off from the world of the living by thousands upon thousands of miles.

Dear -Miss Fairfax: I am in love with a girl about my age and would like to have her go to the theater with me. When I make an appointment she doesn’t like it. I was told by an old friend that he has seen her with other fel- » lows going to the theater. She says she loves me and would not like to lose me and that she can express her love without mak ing appointments. HEARTBROKEN She is a most unusual girl if sh* doesn’t like to go to the theater. Don’t heed what others say about her going these with others. Perhaps she doesn’t She loves you. she says, and still does not cate to make engagements > that would mean she would have your company. It_reall.v doesn’t look as ii she cares for you very much. DON’T LET YOURSELF CARE. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am seventeen and I am going with a young man five years my senior. He has been calling on me occasionally and of late has been coming to see me regularly. I have been to quite a number of parties with him. but he doesn’t seem to pav much attention to me there, hut to other girls, and still he tells me he loves me. LILLIAN.
