Daysey Mayme
and Her Folks
Ry FRANCES L. GARSIDE. (
THE tear? a woman wipes away on I
the kitehen towel are the most ,
sincere tears a woman ever j
•hed*.
The tears wiped away with a dainty j
lace-trimmed handkerchief are some- .
times for effect, and between weeps
there are furtive glances at the mirror
to see if auch deep sorrow is making
the nose red. When a powder rag ap
pears to remove all signs of woe, the
woe is never deep.
The kitchen towel Is a comforter that '
• only Mother knows. Daughter's grief :
is usually so fleeting that It never i
reaches the kitchen At least, this is
true in the Appleton family.
Daysey Mayme was weeping into a
piece of linen three Inches square, but
her woe. ah me. was much larger.
Rhe had a birthday. Kin four de
grees removed sent boxes of candy and
perfume and jewelry, and kin not quite
so far removed sent more, that being
one of the unwritten rules of Klnville.
Her father had given her a gold
watch, her mother had given her a dia
mond ring, and her brother had spent a
month's allowance in buying her a
locket as big as the moon.
They expected her to be Joyful, for
every longing she had expressed was
gratified Rut she swept them aside
with sad eyes, thanked them with the
tears coming, and then went to her
room to eat her heart out, a canni
balistic feat achieved only by those who
love.
For HE. her Rest Reloved, had sent
hsr nothing! He had called twice a
week for a month, and she knew he
loved her, and he knew it was her
birthday, and he didn't send even a
birthday wish.
What were the gold watch from fa
ther, the diamond ring from mother
the gold locket as big as a moon from
brother and all the gifts from kin four
degrees removed compared with on
tittle remembrance from him? Ah,
nothing, alas, and woe’s me!
This forgetfulness meant perfidy. He
didn't love her. Nobody loved her Os
course, the family and kin were kind,
but why shouldn't they be? Wasn't
she the only girl in the family?
If he had only called her up to wish
her many happy returns! If he had
only—and she cried more and more,
thinking now when she was old and
gray she would still be cherishing the
faded flowers If he had only sent her a
bouquet, and now she must grow old
and die without e single faded token! ,
And she wept some more, and saw 1
her nose was getting red. Then she j
got her powder rag and cologne anil
wiped the tears awaj and felt h< tt< r
But 1n the enjoyment of the woe of
love she found no room for apprecia
tion of what her family had done And
her father went to work with a sigh. |
and her brother wished he had his
money back, and her mother, remem
bering all the sacrifices the farnib had
made, said nothing, but went out and
hid her face in the kitchen towel

Do you know that man (bless his heart who. the second time you’ve met him al dinner, digs from his watch pocket or his breast, with a face alight, a little picture of a woman
and a baby or two and says, "There they are! It isn't a good picture of them. I’ve a better one at home!”

with Betty’s cry ringing In hla ears.
As he went about his tasks, polishing 1

who had succeeded In the long history of
the prison, of the many who had been

Rimington had heard much of this mut.
tered secret talk during hls work with
the quarrymen But always with the
same trend, this talk —that, unless for
the devil s own disciple, escape was im
possible from Bilmouth jail.
From inside Bilmouth, certainly but,
luck favoring him. outside? The question
beat at his heart all that day as he
dragged himself about his work with such
difficulty that more than once he drew
down a reprimand upon himself from the
warder In charge of his gang This offi

among the convicts, on account of his
enormous ami unpleasant-looking eyes of
a curious opaque blue, was one of the
least popular of the warders, and subject
from time to time to fits of nervous irri
tability which entailed unpleasant conse
quences for the men under his charge.
“Here, you. A 44.” he said roughly.

He gave Rimington a push forward that
on another day might only have accel
erated his steps, but which today, dizzy
and ill as he felt, sent him sprawling for
ward so suddenh and unexpectedly that
the men following in the close-packed
prison tile stumbled also, forming for an
instant a writhing and confused melee.
As Rimington. bottom dog, and suffering
horribly in his state of numb cold frnrn
the kicks of iron-shod boots and the
pressure, struggled to extricate himself,
he heard a sudden shout, a commotion,
confused sounds, and then the loud
clamor of the prison bell that gave the
answer to that unspoken question ham
mering all day in his mind a prisoner
had escaped
As he rose to his feet Rimington could
see the fly ing figure, running like some
thing possessed, down the track of the
trollex wagon that, drawn by a small lo
comotive, was used for the carting of
stone from the cutting He knew the man.
It was the defaulting solicitor, whose
gay badinage in the prison van on their
way to Wormwood Scrubs had both stir
prised and disgusted him He was con
scious of surprise now as he watched
the flying figure, two-fold surprise at the
agility of the man. who was of middle
age and corpulent, at his mad folly In
choosing such a moment for his at
tempt. when every single point of van
tage was occupied by a sentry, every
cross-road guarded, no spot or distance,
so It seemed, beyond the sight of vigi
lant eyes <»r the reach of ready rifles
Even as he looked. Rimington saw
that, the man having paid no heed to
the warning shouts commanding him to
stop, a rifle was fired with pacific pur
pose over his head. But still he ran on.
Then something happened so terrible,
so hideous, that almost as though he
saw its tvciy detail before its actual
! culmination, tack Rimington put up his
| hands to his face with a womanish cry.

T of safety over which he had brooded for j
5 weeks of gathering madness, saw noth
ing of the thing that was bearing down
on him till he felt the earth tremble 1
beneath him; raised his eyes and. see- '
ing what threatened him. shrieked at i
what he saw Like a bewildered animal .

And Rimington. as he beard that shriek !
I which rang out once, then again, and
i was silent forever, threw up his arms and '
pitched forward heavily.
1 For th* ten following days Rimington
' was in the infirmary. His fainting fit
had lasted for some time, and the doc
tor. who knew enough of his health and
1 physique to acquit him of any’ suspicion (
of malingering, had saved him from the
usual ordeal of the bucket of cold water
r and ordered him straight to the infirmary.
Most of the men at Bilmouth would
1 have been glad to have changed places
with him; Rimington knew that very
well The hospital, so to speak, was top
hole so far as comfort was concerned,
1 but he chafed intolerably at his deten

be Hie last stone to the cairn of his mls-

rapid, he would be taken off the outdoor
i work, and once that was done all chance
of escape would be beyond his reach.

The tragedy he had witnessed had done
nothing to weaken his resolve to attempt
to escape; he had formulated his own
plan and It seemed to him to have the
elements of safety. That other breaking
away had been merely’ the thoughtless,
aimless attempt of a madman.
His thoughts ran persistently on Betty
on that dream which had seemed like
a warning and an appeal If he could
only write or hear—but the time for writ
ing or receiving letters had not come
around for him yet; he could hope for
no leniency In this matters. Saucers had
set down certain bad marks against him
for what he alleged to have been insubor
cer4 in their duty on the day of the at
dination and the obstruction of the offi
tempted escape.
Stating His Case.
Thrashing about In his mind for some
means of help, Rimington bethought him
of the recently appointed chaplain The
new clerical official had called on him
once during his time in the infirmary, and
Rimington had taken to him instantly
He was young and very silent, but there
was something attractive in his person

rather rugged outline, in his blue eyes
under level brows, that met the gaze of

he next morning Rimington put it
down on his slate—"To see the chaplain "
When he found himself face to face
: with the clergyman, who. after all, was
- only a man of his own age. possibly with
many interests in common, educated on
the same lines and toward the same

bare with an unblushing effrontery life

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
LOVE CAN'T BE COMPELLED.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am seventeen, and deeply in
love with a girl three years my sen
ior, and I am sure she reciprocates.
Several times I have asked her to
marry me, but she has always re
fused. Recently I saw her on the
street w ith another young man. She /
did not recognize me.
HEARTBROKEN.
If she doesn’t care for you, and has
told you so, you should be enough of a
man to take her at her word and re
main away. Give some other man a
chance, and learn to be glad for her
sake if he is a good man. And, remem
ber, there are other girls, and your
happiness doesn't depend on this one
as much as you think.
THE TRAGEDY OF FRIENDSHIP.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am seventeen and deeply in
love with a gentleman three years
my senior. About two months ago.
when he called, I had a girl friend
with me. I introduced her to him,
and since then he seems to care
more for her. L. T. R.-
Every woman of wider and more
painful experience will tell you this:
It is better that he met the other wom
an before his engagement (or mar
riage! to you than later.
A man so fickle is not worth moping
for. Hunt up new Interests and try to
forget him. It is ail you can do. If
you run after him to coax him back you
only cheapen yourself.
IF THERE IS ALSO OPPORTUNITY.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Is there any time when two young
people, keeping company, not nec
essarily engaged, or, perhaps, with
out engagement in sight, mav kiss?
AN HONEST INQUIRER.
If a man and woman love each other
there is no harm in an occasional kiss,
and surely there is great joy. But I
contend it is better, for the girl’s sake,
if an engagement exist. The man will
love her more, and love her longer, if
she is chary of her kisses until she
wears his ring on her finger.
