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
•beds.
The tears wiped away with a ria!n>>
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 at -
pears to remove all signs of woe, tin
woe Is never deep.
The kitchen towel Is a comforter that
only Mother knovye Daughters 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.
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 Klnvllle.
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! Ha had called twice a
week for a month, and she knew he
loved her, and he knew ft 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 n 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 onlv girl In the familv?
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 1
and rile without a single failed token!
And she wept some more, and saw
her nose was getting rod Then she j
got her powder rag and cologne and !
wiped the tears away and felt bett< r
But in the enjoyment of the woc’of
love she found no room for apprecia
tion of what her family had done. And 1
her father went to work with a sigh,
and her brother wished he had his
money back, and her mother, remem- .
berlng all the sacrifices the family had '
made, said nothing, but went out and j
hid her face In the kitchen towel.

Du 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!”

He hart wakened, bathed In cold sweat,
with Betty’s cry ringing In his ears
A» he went about his tasks, polishing
his floor with the hard brushes, rubbing
and scouring his already spotless tins,
with hands numb and dead with cold.
Rimington thought earnestly of this
dream. That Betty was In trouble he did

among the convicts, on account of his
enormous and 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 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
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
1 trolle.x wagon that, drawn bx a small lo
comotive, was used for the carting of
stone from the cutting He knew the man.

of safety over w'hidh he had brooded for
weeks of gathering madness, saw’ noth

what he saw Like a bewildered animal

now and carried for a moment upon them.
'Then down again a man no longer, a
thing on which, 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 of cold w’ater
and ordered him straight to the infirmary.
Most of the men at Bilmouth would
have been glad tn 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 he might be sicken
ing for some serious Illness or be on
the threshold of some severe breakdown,
for the doctor was evasive That would
be the last stone tn 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
xxoik. 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
cers 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
ality. in his clean-shaven face w-ith 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
dow’n on his slate—“To see the chaplain."
When he found himself face to face
with the clergyman, who, after all, was
onlx- a man of his own age. possibly with
many interests in common, educated on
the same lines and toward the same
, deals, Rimington found it very hard to
stab his case. He had not the flow’ of I
language which enabled many of his com
. panions to spin an amazing tale, to lax
bare with an unblushing effrontery life
, secrets that hrardly bore to be thought
of. Here in prison he felt the same re
ticence that he would have felt in the
outer world in mentioning to a sflanger
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 srfw 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.
her, 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 !n
• 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 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, 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.
