Daysey Mayme
and Her Folks
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
THE tears a woman wipes away on
the kitchen towel are the most
sincere tears a woman ever
sheds.
The tears wiped away with a dainty
lace-trimmed handkerchief are some
times for effect, and between weeps
there are furtive glances at the mirror
to see if such 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
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.
She had a birthday. Kin four de
grees removed sent boxes of candy and
perfume and jewelry, and kin not quite 7
so far removed sent more, that being
one of the unwritten rules of Kinville.
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. But 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 Best Beloved, had sent
her 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 one
little 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 how 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 a single faded token!
And she wept some more, and saw
her nose was getting red. Then she
got her powder rag and cologne and
wiped the tears away and felt better.
But In 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 family 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 at 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!”

As he went about his tasks, polishing
his floor with the hard brushes, rubbing 1

Rimington had heard much of this mut

the devil's own disciple, escape was im- '
possible from Bilmouth jail. 1

among the convicts, on account of his
enormous and unpleasant-looking eyes of
a curious opaque blue, was one of th<
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.
“You’re spoiling for punishment diet. I
can see Get a hustle on ye; yer keepin’
every bloomin’ man in yer gang out of

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 suddenly 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 from
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 flying figure, running like some
thing possessed, down the track of the
trolley 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 sur
prised and disgusted him. He was con
scious of surprise, now as he watched
the fixing figure, two-fold surprise at the
agility of the man, who was of middle
age ami corpulent, at his mad folly in
choosing such a moment for his at

so It seemed, beyond the sight of vigi

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- (•ver his head. But still he ran on.
Then something happened so terrible,
so hideous, that almost as though he
saw its every detail before its actual
culmination. Jack Rimington put up hts
hands to his face with a womanish crx

cutting had come the little locomotive

Then down again a man no longer, a
thing on w’hich, after the puffing, fool

had passed, one could not bear to look.
And Rimington. as he heard that shriek
which rang out once, then again, and
was silent forever, threw up his arms and
pitched forward heavily.

For the 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
physique to acquit him of any suspicion
of malingering, had saved him from the
usual ordeal of the bucket nf cold water
and ordered him straight to the infirmary.
Most of the men at Bilmouth would
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,
but he chafed intolerably at his deten
tion, dreading lest be might be sicken

rapid, he would be taken off the outdoor
work, and once that was done all chance
of escape Would be beyond bis 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,
1 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
L 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

Stating His Case.
1 Thrashing about In his mind for some
means of help, Rimington bethought him
. of the j-ecently appointed chaplain. The
new’ clerical official had called on him
1 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
ality, In his clean-shaven face with its
' rather rugged outline. In his blue eyes
under level brows, that met the gaze of

the world with a look as placid and Inno
cent as that of a child.
The 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 tow’ard the same
deals. Rimington found It very hard to
stat* his ease. He had not the flow of
language which enabled many of his com
panions to spin an amazing tale, to lav
bare with aw unblushing effrontery life
secrets that hrardly bore to be thought
of Here in prison he felt the same re
licence that he would have Telt in the j

the name of the woman he loved.

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 with 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 yout
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. b. T. R,
Every woman of wider and mors
painful experience will tell you this:
It is better that he met the other wom
an before his engagement (or mat
rlagei to you than later.
A man so fickle is not worth moping
for. Hunt up new interests and try to
forget him. It Is all 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, may kiss?
AN HONEST INQUIRER.
If a man and woman love each other
there is no harm tn 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 if
she is chary of her kisses until she
wears his ring on her finger.
