With the outside; gang also there was
less intimacy of association than among
those convicts who worked in the prison
Itself, at tailoring or mailbag making, or
in the bakeries and cook houses. It
sometimes seemed to Rimington that all
the slyest, most crooked natures congre
gated in those workshops—the men who,
possessing intelligence rather than physi
cal strength, had used it for outwitting
their fellow-men. Here in the very prison
Itself they were using it for the same
purpose: it was amazing to him to find
how all the vigilance of the warders was
outwitted. There was more than one
code in existence by which conversation
could be carried on under the warder's
eyes: the most wonderful ingenuity had
gone to the construction of a cipher al
phabet that enabled the prison news to
circulate with the completeness and ve
racity of a newspaper, While he was
amazed at its cleverness, a sense of honor
uncommonly rare in a prisoner, since
prison air is fatal to the blossom of
straightforwardness and truth, made
Rimington shrink from participating in
It, as he would almost have been forced
to participate had he remained inside.
With the outside gang conversation of a
sort was permitted, but its nature was
not such as to render him anxious to
pursue it. If it was not coarse and bes
tial, it was sad and heartrending. Some
times he wondered if the stories told him
could possibly be true; they were so
strange, so heartrending. He learned in
time that many an unknown Francois
Villon plied his merry art of picturesque
Imagination in that gloomy place.

UNIVERSITY SCHOOL FOR BOYS
STONE MOUNTAIN, GA.
UNIVERSITY SCHOOL FOR BOYS ia a regular school where boys are taught and not just
compelled to attend classes. A school fashioned after the old style system of tutoring where in
dividual instruction is given each student; where the finer attributes of a gentleman, not taught
by books, are inculcated; where a sound, healthy body is developed coincident with a broad,
quick mind.
A school where boys are transformed into men equipped, mentally and physically to take up
Life’s duties or given a firm foundation on which to build their education in the higher institu
tions of learning. This is done by limiting the students to 96; one instructor for every ten boys.
More than 'f\venty percent, of the student body, each year, are brothers of former students.

“The Gates of Silence”
By Meta Stmmins, Author of “Hushed Up'
found himself face to face with his aunt.
This was a part of the kingdom of si
lence he ha’d never visited, this “inter
view' room.” Rimington glanced round it
curiouslj' as he entered. anS took it in
with a comprehensive glance and an in
telligence quickened by these starved
mouths during W’hich small things were
great. He saw a small, bare room di
vided by iron railings into three portions
and having two doors —the door from his
own world by which he entered and the
door by which the visitor from the other
world enters. The visitor's door led into a
section of the room divided from the rest
by iron bars running from floor to ceiling;
beyond this was a space about three feet
wide, where the warder stood, and be
yond that, behind another railing, a space
where he himself stood.
Mrs. Rimington was in mourning. Her
sombre dress, in which every detail
seemed exaggerated—the crepe heavier
and deeper, the veil longer and more vol
uminous. the lawn’cuffs and collar wider
and more snow’y than ever he had seen
before—told Rimington, "tvithout words,
that his uncle was dead. He stood star
ing stupidly at the little figure that
seemed to make the desolation of the bare
room complete, and said no tvord. Speech
does not come readily to a man after
months of imprisonment at Bilmouth.
It was the woman w'ho broke the silence
first. She threw back her veil with the
imperious little gesture Rimington re
membered. and turned to the warder.
"Who is this man?” site demanded in
her small, clear voice, that was like the
note of a fairy flute, Rimington had often
laughingly told her. “It is my nephew,
John Rimington. that I wish to see.”
A Great Change.
“This is John Rimington," the warder
said, civilly enough. The question caused
him no surprise: he was too well accus
tomed to the change that prison works in
a man's looks, to the leveling influence
of prison dress and discipline, that speed
ily brings into line the prince and the
peasant.
But to Rimington the question was a
shock and an awakening. He realized
now', as he had hardly realized before,
that he was in no way different in ap
pearance from those other shaven clowns
among whom bis days were passed.
“Yes. it is I, aunt,” he said, and his
very voice was changed, the hesitating
voice of one who seldom speaks. Even
mqre than the physical change in the
man befqre her. this change of voice from
the gay, pleasant tones she knew to a
low-pitched servility hurt the woman
staring at him with wide eyes behind the
bars of the cage.
"Oh, Jack—l didn't know —I never
guessed,” she said, falteringly.
He could see tfiat her small face was
gray and pinched, that the large brown
eyes seemed almost too big for the tiny
face out of which they looked. Under
the widow’s bonnet the plentiful brown
hair had turned almost white. If the
months had brought change to John Rim
ington. they had not spared Deborah Rim
ington.
“Your uncle is dead. Jack," she said.
“He died the day after you got your re
prieve. The doctor thought perhaps it
was the excitement of the home secre
tary’s letter —but I knew' better. David
had been dying for weeks and the Eord
gave him his release. He was glad to
go. Jack—and well prepared, to meet his
Maker. That is what few of us can
say.”

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * *
HAVE YOU NO FAITH?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have known a young man for
the past ten months and 1 love him
dearly.
One night his friend escorted me
home and he told me his friend was
Hying to keep me on the string. I
told my friend about this and he
said It was a falsehood.
M. D. T. G.
It means just -etiis, my dear: If you
entertain such a poor opinion of your
first friend’s intentions that any one
can tuyfi you against him. then your
heart is not badly involved.
If you love him. you believe in him.
It seems to me you certainly owe him
some faith.
REFUSE HIM. AND STICK TO IT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am eighteen and am corre
sponding with a man of thirty-two.
About two months ago he came to
see me. after not seeing me for two
or three years. He proposed to me
the first time and I, refused. He
didn’t take any heed, but came a
second time with an engagement
ring. Since then he came, many
times, bringing various gifts. Now.
I really don't know what to do, as
he does not pay any attention to
my refusals. He lives out of town
and earns a nice living. My par
ents leave the matter in my hands
after giving him their consent to
marry me. He is.an uncle of mine.
A WORRIED GIRD.
Your course is plain. Refuse him
and stick to it. These are not the
days when a girl must marry against

DON’T ACT IN HASTE. ,
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am in love with a young man ;
wiio is eight years my senior. Aft- .
er keeping company with him for
four years I found him out walking
with another young lady whom I
very much dislike, as I have heard
several remarks about her charac
ter that were not very nice. Now.
do you think it would be proper to
mention this matter to him or to
wait until he mentions it to me'.’

In the fi st place, do you know that
the stories you have heard about the
other girl are based on fact?

SHE IS A SENSIBLE GIRL.
Deal Miss Fairfax:
lam in love with a girl two years
my senior and have kept company
with her for the last year and a
half. I'p to the present time I
have found her to he a ver? good
friend, yet I suspect she does not
love me.
I have treated her as the best of
lovers treat their dear ones, yet I
do not see why the love 1 have for
her is mu re< iprocated.
When leaving her after a night's
epjoyment. she has a very peculiar
way of bidding me good-night. As
she has several other fellow ac
quaintances, I don't think they have
any serious intentions with her at
all. Even at that. 1 see her more
often than these other fellows In
fact. I see her regularly two times
a week. E. <'. R.
If site did not care for you she would
not give you so much of her time.
There is eneouiageinent for you in that.
I am of the opinion that in refrain
ing from showing love for you she is
a particularly sensible young woman.
It will be soon enough for her to show
her love when you have told her of
yours. Don't expect it a moment
sooner.

AN ARGUMENT THAT APPEALED.
Mrs. lysander john Ap
pleton. in her capacity os
First Standard Bearer for the
Equal Suffrage Party, never loses an
opportunity to make an appeal for the
cause of Equality and Justice
She sprinkles argument with her sea
soning of meats and potatoes in her
kitchen: she serves arguments with
greeting- in her parlor, and she passes
them over the counter to the butcher
and the baker.
She has found recently to her dis
tress. that members of the Home Mis
sionary society of her church ate very
lukewarm on the question of suffrage.
This great lack of progression has ap
pealed to her as strongly as the lack
of funds lo keep the church going.
Thy, ladies held a rummage sale, at
which they sold tilings they didn't
want to other sisters, who likewise
didn't want them; they gave (linnets
and suppers and fait.- and bazaars.

sey Mayme Appleton sang, "by re

give the name of the poison making the
request, so that the audience might
have known where to place the blame.

John saw an opening to make one more
argument in favor of equal suffrage.
"We would have an additional and
never-failing way to make money." she
said, at a meeting of the Finance Com
mittee. "if we had the Power of the
Ballot.”
The ladies, having heard so much of
tiie Power of the Ballot, looked bored.
"We had the right of suffrage in the
state I came from." resumed Mrs. Ap
pleton. "and when occasion demanded
ft, we registered, and then sold our
votes to the highest bidder. Ah, those
were palmy days!”
There was an Awful Silence. Then
a roar of protest. Would Sister Apple

women fight for the ballot that they
Sell Their Votes? Would she so far
forget the Sanctity of Womanhood as
to hint at such a vile proceeding?
Would she demean Her Own Sex by
approving, nay, pointing the way. to
Corruption ?
The roar grew In volume and strength
till Mrs. Appleton, freightened at the
storm she had evoked, slipped out a
side door and went home.
Nothing Like Knowing,

she dropped is beginning to work.
