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.

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.

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 tion. dreading lest he might be sicken ing for some serious Illness or be on r the threshold of some severe breakdown, for the doctor was evasive.

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.

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.
