THE GEOBQIAM’S MAGAZINE PAGE 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— Upward of 625,000 miles of railways are in use tn rhe entire world.

But always with the same trend, this talk—that, unless for the devil's own disciple, escape was im- ' possible from Bilmouth jail. 1 From inside Bilmouth. certainly; but, luck favoring him, outside? The question , beat at his heart all that day as he ' dragged himself about hts work with such . difficulty that more than once he drew ( down a reprimand upon himself from the , warder in charge of his gang.

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 step with yer stumblin’." 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 tempt, when every single point of van tage was occupied b\ a sentry. ever> cross-road guarded, no spot or distance, so It seemed, beyond the sight of vigi lant eyes or 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- (•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.

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 ing for some serious Illness or be <»n the threshold of some severe breakdown, for the doctor was evasive That would be the last stone to the cairn of his mis fortune; it would mean that when he re covered. even If his recovery were fairly rapid, he would be taken off the outdoor work, and once that was done all chance of escape Would be beyond bis reach. i FOR SALE j Roofing Pitch, Coal Tar, IMMEDIATE eos ? t n e ’ Road Binder > Metal Preservative Paints, DELIVERY Roofing Paint and Shingle Stain. i Atianta Gas Light Co.

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.

In his blue eyes under level brows, that met the gaze of CASTOR IA For Infanti and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought 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."

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 outer world In mentioning to a stranger the name of the woman he loved.

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.
