Suddenly Rimington found himself wishing that she had not come. She brought an ele ment of discord and unrest into this place, whose iron discipline had become almost an anodyne to the unrest in his own heart. His aunt's words empha sized her belief in his guilt, which, though unspoken, he had always known to exist. It was monstrous of her to come there with her tongue dripping gall. A Narrow Man. Somehow, since he had come to Bll mouth he had ceased to find the consola tion in religion he had experienced dur ing his previous incarceration. The chap lain had taken a dislike to him. or so Rimirgton believed. He was a narrow minded man. a formalist of a very petty creed, and instead of using the power he had to render his charges' lives more tolerable, he had put a premium on hy pocrisy by interesting himself only *n those who professed a whole-hearted al legiance to his own views. He was ill. Rimington had heard, and was about to be transferred to another and lighter charge. Jack thought of him as he witched his aunt- he would have been a man after Deborah Rimington's own heart. Then, when his aunt spoke again, her fords made him ashamed for his un spoken thought. “Jack. I haven't many minutes to say all I have to say." she said. “And there is much. First. Betty. Her love. dear. All her love, all her thoughts, all her hopes. You understand?” I fid he understand? It was a flood of sunshine let unexpectedly into a darkened room. He felt blinded for the moment, conscious only of the glorious glow and warmth. He hardly heard what his vis itor was saying. *“And for myself. Jack; I want you to know that is true of me. too. While your unde lived, my dear, my duty was to him I was but what every dutiful wife should be. his shadow, his other self. And now that he's gone 1 am free to live my own life—so far as any of God’s crea tures may live for themselves. And now’ my life is going to be’for you, my boy. It is true I never loved you as I loved your brother—one can't control one's heart. Even among the disciples there was John more loved than the others. But I love you, too, and from hence forth my life will be yours. There are others working for you out in the world —you know' that, I suppose. Well, that Is not my wax. It is the future I am thinking of all that is mine will be yours, and it may be more than you think. Things are changing. But first, and P>r the present, Jack, it will comfort you to know that I have come to Bilmouth come to live here within the very sight of this house of shame. I will be al ways with you--every day at the throne of grace—come with me there. Ah: Jack, while it’s yet day. before the nightfall and the end of mercy.” "Aunt—aunt! It’s ridiculous.” Rim ington hardly knew’ how to stem the tor rent of her words. He had never heard her speak like this. That she had been religious, and deeply so. he had always understood, but she had been reticent and restrained, the last woman in the world, so he conceived, to have shown her heart to any one. far less to speak- so to him in the presence of a third person. "You must not think of coming here -it is not fit for you; it would add to my pain to think of you amid such distress ing 'surroundings.” “flush! I am here. I have taken my hottie: in a few- weeks it will be fur nished. Then, lack, 1 mean to live as you live—to rise w ith you, to sleep and eat with you, to tread every step of your agony with you. Is that too much to do to save a soul a soul for whom He <iie<|? ' Sheer Madness. Her voice rose shrill and strained and her eyes blazed. To both men the pris oner and the warder -she seemed like one carried out of herself. The twenty minutes were running out rapidly Rimington, marshaling his argu ments, controlling his faltering tongue, found himself able to make no headway against the extraordinary determination of this wofhan, who, in her own quiet way, had loved the simple good things of life -quiet'and ease and the absence of the actively unpleasant that constitutes the ideal of happiness for so many to plunge herself volurrtarJly into a life of penance, leading outside the prison the life flo far as she could, of this relative who was inside it. It was madness - that was all he could think hut a madness of which she would soon tire rising at 5:30 in the bleak win ter mornings, going to bed at X in the chill of a stone and iron cell. What could sjie know of his life, save the mere ex ternals? and thank God for it. “Aunt Deb, you mean to be kind I » Vacation Days are here. Plan now where to go and let us help you.

We have sore need of that- I. sinful woman that I am. far more than you in your heedless youth Once* again Rimington winced. During his trial, during the weeks he had lain waiting for death, he had found it possi ble t<» bear with fortitude the disbelief in his innocence of those who had known him; now it seemed mure than he could bear that this woman, who had known him since he was a tiny child, should comp here and speak to him of resigna tion and humility! ‘.lack" she had come as near to him as the bars permitted; he could see het face very clearly now, framed in the vol uminous folds of the crepe vjeil—the face of a woman who for hours had been on the rack of pain: the great eyes were surrounded by shadows and full of tears; as he looked they overflowed ami began to run down her cheeks: she seemed un conscious of everything. “Jack, my dear, dear child: it breaks my heart to see yotG here behind the bars, like a beast of prey. Ob! be patient yet a little longer re lease must .come. Pray for us all that we max have courage. Jack, don't lose your faith in us ail in the girl that loves you ami waits for*you.” “I Am Happy.’’ “Tell her nothing.” cried Rimington, hoarsely. “Tell her nothing of this.” He ran his hands quickly over his motley dress, “Tell her lam full of hope—that that I an] happy and. well, and that it is not half a bad life when you are used to it. Tell her 1 love her!” His working face, that was like some grim travesty of the face she had known; his broken, unfamiliar voice, his outflung, roughened hands with* their hideous, broken nails —these were the picture Mrs. Rimington carried with her out into the world. A gray world, damp and rank with the creeping mist from the sea. through which were stealing figures of shame, men in gangs who might have ; been chained together, so closely were > their ranks set; men who moved to the word of command more briskly than any regiment of soldiers, slaves quick to re spond to the goad of fear—that knowledge I lay locked away in the breast of every one of them of the punishment that waited unfalteringly for every fault—of , the cocked rifle for the runaway, of the various manacles in the “jewel room,” where the punishment fetters were kept ( as exquisitely as a society beauty’s jew els; of. in the last and most desperate , resoit, the cap and the triangle, or the ! degrading birch. “The discipline of fear"—she had never until today realized what that was. The power that behind a single man enabled him to keep twenty desperate ruffians in subjection as easily as a firm mistress can manage a school class. I This visit of his aunt, so strange, so [ unexpected, involving as it must have . done greai trouble to her tn procure, like the change from Wormwood Scrubs , to Bilmouth, was a turning point in Rim , ington’s prison life Just as the change ( I from the one prison to the other had brought an interest into his life that sayed his mentality, so this visit of a woman and that one who had always stood in his mind for the embodiment of domestic beauty and purity and daintiness- saved his self respect, an- sled that deteriora tion of personal habit of wfiicb he was . beginning himself to be aware. Will power and strength of, mind in . themselves are hardly enough to stand , ‘ up against the immense forces arrayed , i against the man who knows that, for all (the years he can see stretch before him, he will always be a prisoner; who real izes that the brand of the broad arrow for a man in his rank of life is like the , chrism of some priesthood of shame, marking him as an outcast forever; only some exterior force like the knowledge of a trusting and waiting woman can aid him. And to Rimington had come the knowledge of two women who avowed ( their life work to be a preparation for his release. A Pet Theory. Sitting there in the ice chill of his cell. , , with the dim gas-jet burning outside the j I’corridor w indow. Rimington thought r steadily of Mrs. Rimington's visit, and as , he thought the singularity of.it, which , had at first loomed so large in his mind, I began to diminish, and the beauty ami I mercy and charity of it to increase. He i remembered now that Toby ami he had I often laughed at a pet theory of hers. which xxus that widows should be “wifi • ows indeed." devoting their lives after the I death of the beloved to works of charity iand deeds of mercy, cutting themselves i off from the world.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am eighteen and have been keeping company with a young man two years my senior for the past six months. About six weeks ago we went to a place of amuse ment and, after coining home, had a little quarrel. but made an ap pointment for a few days later which I deliberately failed to keep, being still angry from the previous evening. I have seen him many times since, but he never speaks to me. M. it. You were rude to him and owe him an apology. Having made the appoint, ment, you should have kept it. You made your first mistake in making it while still resentful and mad. LOVE IN A TANGLE. Dear Miss Fairfax I have been keeping company with a young lady one year my junior.

It is kept locked tip in the ambassador's desk, and is brought out only when he has a con fidential letter to write. An American agricultural journal prints on its front page the novel an nouncement that, as farmers are so busy with the cultivation of their fields, and have no leisure for leading, the news of the day will be briefly printed on the first page of the paper, and the oilier page will be soaked with a "death to flies" preparation.
