TODAY’S INSTALLMENT.
Stripped of the formality necessitated
by prison discipline, his request, as he
finally made it. was very much the same
in form and substance as It would have
been had they been two men sitting over
the fire in a college study, and amounted
to this:
"I am engage*! to a woman I fear to be
in trouble—it is uncommonly ridfcul.-n>s
to believe in dreams but this has be
come an obsession with me It is not pos
sible for me to write to her, and I know
that even if nothing fresh has happened,
her heart must be full of anxiety on my
behalf Would it bo possible for you. as
a favor- - - amazing favor to a very sick
man—to write to her"
The chaplain interrupted him with a
■bake of the head.
"I am most awfully sorry, my dear
chap,” he said, and there was genuine
regret In his voice, "but it Isn’t possible
It Is against the rules.'
Rimlngton made an impatient movement
of his hand
"Yes. yes. I know." he said. "But Is it
imperative that you should adhere to the
rules au pied de la lettre? Ido not want
you to write for me couldn't you, your
■elf"—
The chaplain sat down on the edge oi
tbe bed.
"Look here, my dear chap," he said,
earnestly, "if I could —I would But don’t
you understand —-you surely better than
many of us here that I. not of the whole
body of the prison, am most bound to
keep the rules? If I break them—how on
earth can I expect any one else to keep
them"’’ He looked at Rimlngton with
clouded eyes. "If there was anything on
earth I could do to help you, I would. 1
believe in you, you know —I don’t know
whether that matters in the least. But
there is only one thing 1 can do to "help
you—and that I do.”
Rimlngton. who had looked at him ea
gerly. with a lightening face, sank back
on the bed with a faint sound of disgust
"Pray, you mean, I suppose?" he said
And as the other nodded bitterness welled
up in his heart "Isn’t it rather a waste
of time?'’ he said, turning away. "I am
afraid Bilmouth does not foster any be
lief in the efficacy of prayer. 'Here
crawling coop t we live and die;' It jolly
well seems to me not much good to lift
vain hands to It for help"—
•q suppose you know I could report you
for a bad mark, A 44?" the chaplain said,
rising A change had come over his
pleasant face that made It like a mask.
There was nothing now but a displeased
severity in his blue eyes. “I shall not
do so, of course, he said, "nor report
the appeal you made to me. Good day.”
He turned and was gone, leaving tbe
bleak Infirmary ward the bleaker for his
going Rimlngton turned on his side and
groaned VVhat an ass he had been—
what a vulgar fool to Insult the only man
xdho in that grim place of silence had
spoken to him as though he saw nothing
of the convict’s dress, heeded nothing of
the convict's record, but saw straight
through to the soul of the man below!
The convict in the adjaoent bed, who
had, judging from his breathing, been
sleeping during the Interview, sniggered
faintly.
■ "Rlz 'ls temper nicely, didn’t you?” he
said appreciatively; " 'lm and 'is pray
ers "
Raising his head, Rimlngton swore at
his companion comprehensively, in a man
ner that surprised himself Then, turn
ing in his bed. he buried his head under
the coarse clothes and presently wept
tears of sheer weakness, weariness and
chagrin.
His Conscience.
Far away from tbe desolate prison ward
the prison chaplain, in his uncomfortable
sitting room, stood with his hand on
the mantedpiece, looking down into the
fire, which here tn Bilmouth seemed in
some strange way to be less glowing,
less comforting looking than the ordinary
run of fires. In his heart there was rag
ing a conflict which might have sur
prised some of his fellows among the
prison officials, to whom discipline was a
fetish
Had he done right In refusing the re
quest of a man In whose eyes there had
been a hunger of appeal as had looked

out of the gaunt face of A44? he asked
himself
His fingers trembled on his breast and
his lips moved. In all his life he had
never felt such heart-sickness as he felt
now, when he thought of the manner of
his parting from the mljjerable convict
who had cast his fugitive tag of Omar
Khayyam at him in a moment of chagrin.
What on earth had made him lose his
temper. he whose watchword was
“Blessed are the merciful?”
A Dash for Freedom.
The fortnight he had been forced to
spend in the prison infirmary had been
a godsend to Rimlngton, the relaxation
of discipline, the improved food and en
forced rest, made almost a new man of
him. More than once the thought oc
curred to him that he owed his deten
tion more to a kindly impulse on the part
of the doctor than to the actual state of
his health; the man, after his kind, was
rough tongued and more than inclined to
cynicism, but Rimlngton had a feeling
that his disposition toward him was not
un favorable.
'Whether or not that feeling was true
mattered little enough to Rimlngton. He
felt a warm gratitude toward the doctor,
and when, on the morning of hie dis
charge from the infirmary, he certified
him as fit for work with the outdoor
gang, his eyes lighted up with a flash that
drew a shrewd glance from the medical
officer
"That suits your book, eh?”
As the doctor put the question, Rtm-
Ington felt a quiver run over him. Could
It he possible that this man suspected
that thought which had never been spoken
—did bls secret cry aloud from his eyes?
He felt a mask drop over his features,
every njtiscle stiffened.
"Yes, sir More healthy than the In
door work, sir,” he said, and could have
Imagined that the doctor winked.
"Better than the tailor’s shop and The
Bilmouth Bulletin? What!" and Rim
lngton drew a breath of relief. The doc
tor attributed his anxiety to get back to
the harder outdoor labor to his dislike
to the close assocaltton of the workshops
and the ugly talk that circulated there.
"Yes. sir," he said again, In a stolid
and noncommittal manner, and with an
other sharp look at him the doctor went
out. He was not quite sure In his own
mind regarding A 44 There were times
when he believed him to be entirely in
nocent of the charge brought against him
and others when his belief wavered. To
day was one of them —for the first time.
It seemed to him, there was a shifty look
in the man’s eyes. Then, since he was
an eminently just man, this prison doc
tor, he gave the prisoner the benefit of
the doubt and dismissed him from his
mind. Life at Bilmouth and kindred in
stitutions did not tend to foster straight
forwardness. and he had only too keen a
conception of how near to the animal a
man can descend during a long term of
Imprisonment
Making Plana.
The snow had disappeared and the
earth was sopping with the moisture of
a thaw, following a week’s frost, on this
first day with the gang; all the natural
conditions were favorable to an attempt
to escape, Rimlngton thought, as he
worked. He would be the better able to
sustain the exposure and hunger that
would be Inevitable. Every day as he
went out he examined the ground and
bls surroundings eagerly, surveying them
with the care of a general, testing their
strategic possibilities, and every night as
he lay in his bed in the darkness and felt
the chill of the prison wrap about him
like a shroud, Rimlngton calculated the
chances of escape, narrowed them down
and weighed them, and every night and
every morning, with something of the di
rect simplicity of a child, he prayed for
the crowning mercy of a fog.
There was something of madness in his
brooding, since surely sane reflection
must have shown him the hopeless folly
of tbe thing he meditated With friends
and accomplices at hand to provide money
and change of raiment, even then the
chances of permanent escape were almost
fantastically problematical; but playing a
lone hand, as he did—without money,
without a goal what earthly chance did
he stand?

The Making of a Pretty Girl
The Athletic Miss
By MARGARET HUBBARD
AYER.
(( ■* ir Y lady is an athletic girl,” said
l\/l the proud mother of one-year
old Nannette Tarbox Beals. To
show what she could do. the baby swung
valiantly, supporting her own weight
while holding to her mother's fingers.
The daughter of this well known
business woman, Mrs. Jessie Tarbox
Beals, began her athletic development
when she was about two months old,
for there Is no age limit for the ath
letic girl.
You can begin whenever you want to.
and you can go on as long as you like,
or take up athletics when you are well
advanced in middle life. The grand
mother of some friends of mine still
goes swimming at 80, and she attrib
uted her superb health to the practice
of outdoor exercise.
Every girl should have some sort of
outdoor fad—something that combines
exercise and amusement—some sort of
athletics.
When you talk of athletics many a
girl thinks at once of golf or tennis,
polo, riding, or some sport which ne
cessitates an expenditure of money ei
their tor habits or costumes or for the
implements used. Riding, for instance,
is quite beyond the pale for those of
moderate income who live In the city,
and the girl who Ilves inland can’t en
joy the delights of swimming as can
the girl who is in New York, for in
stance, or in the lake cities.
Not Expensive.
It is this idea of expense that keeps
so many girls from joining some ath
letic club or league. But there are al
ways ways of avoiding the more ex
pensive forms of sport, just as there is
always time for the girl who wants to
take it to develop herself physically and
to gain health and good spirits in regu
lar out-of-door exercise.
If 1 had my way, the girls who want
to be pretty, and of course that in
cludes all girls, should belong to small
groups or clubs who would pursue the
culture of beauty out of doors in some
form of athletics. The girl with the
athletic fad has no time for foolish wool
gathering, and if she is bent on making
herself physically strong and well, she
will not bo the one to dress in some of
the ridiculous fashions of the day or to
paint and powder her face and make
herself conspicuous in other ways.
The girl who wants to go in for the
simplest, as well as the most healthful,
form of athletics can join a walking
club or get one up consisting of friends
and, if possible, one older person, as
chaperon and instructor.
Very Popular.
These walking clubs are quite popu
lar in England, and there is no cost
attached to such an organization. The
chaperon or Instructor should be a per
son of moderate leisure who has time
to study up the points of historic inter
est in the neighborhood. No matter
how new the city or Sown, there is al
ways some place no" far awn where
some interesting event in history oc
curred. Get books on the subject at
the library.
The walks should be taken to these
points of interest and the Instructor

writes M. A. H. "He calls on me
and takes me out on an average of
three times a week. He is a perfect
gentleman, and does everything In his
power to make me love him.
"Lately he has told me that I am too
young-looking for him to ever marry.
He said that I would be a full-blown
rose when he would be a faded one.
He has broken my heart, and I don’t
know how to act toward him. My love
is growing stronger and stronger all
the time. He still visits with me three
times a week, and should he do that if I
am too young for him? Should he con

should know enough to call the atten
tion of the members of the club to bad
carriage, awkward walk or other de
fects. The club should meet once a
week at least for a long walk, and dur
ing the course of the season one or two
tours to dista.pt points should be
planned and carried out. on foot, of
rose when you are full blown. On the
contrary-, he is as sure of the reverse
as he is sure of your little heart right
now.
And that is why he says such foolish
things. He enjoys tormenting you. That
delight, coupled with the supreme one
of hearing himself talk, are joys he
can't resist.
I am sorry you love him. He may
be. as you say. a perfect gentleman, but
even such superb-excellence will not
make up for a lifetime with a man who
thinks little and says much; who has
the very vapid notion that knowledge
and wisdom find expression in verbose
and flowery speech. Undoubtedly he
also writes poetry and the practical
side of life oppresses his sensitive soul.
My dear girl, every woman In the
world who married the man who wrote
sonnets to her eyebrow had to support
him afterward. Instead of hanging your
head like a poor wilted rose, as you are
doing you should hold your little head
high. Take him at his word!
"It would be tragic,” you must say to
him. “to find myself a full blown rose
in years to come wedded to a man who
has become a faded one. I will have no
more of you. My future mission is to
find a tender young bud of a man who
will burst into full bloom at the same
time I do. Then we can hang, side by
side, fading and drooping away in hap
py unison, and shedding our petals into
one funereal pile on the green grass
beneath us.”
1 am sure that such a reception of
his soulful emotions will cause him to
lift his drooping head and decide that he
is none too old. nor a shade too faded,
to be your mate.
Meet fire with fire. Show this selfish
dreamer that you also have selfish
dreams He thinks his eight years’ se
niority intakes him too old for you; ac
cept his decision and lie will at once
begin to argue that he is not a day too
old.
Hut w hatever you do. my dear, don't
pine. Youth is spent largely in wasting
many emotions and exaggerating many
others. This man who is content to
monopolize your best years and seeks to
evadv marriage behind a rose-trimmed
hedge of selfishness is not worth one
l<ang He is unworthy of a single re-
course. These clubs are very popular
in Germany -.as well as in England,
where a group of young women with a
chaperon, and sometimes a guide for
longer trips, will go on walking tours
lasting from two to six weeks.
Walking clubs should train their
members to the longer feats of endur
ance by slow degrees. On rainy days,
when the members can not take their
outing, they should meet at the home of
the member who has the largest rooms,
ond go through systematic exercises to
strengthen themselves in lungs and
limbs—-deep breathing exercises, which
I have frequently given, and foot ex
ercises, of which this is one of the
best:
Stand erect, wearing soft slippers, or,
better still, in stocking feet, raise the
arms above the head, lift the body,
stretching upward, inhale deeply and
raise the body on the toes, keep it rigid,
retain the breath several seconds,
exhale slowly, lowering the body and
arms. An exerejse for broadening the
chest and expanding the lungs: Stand
erect, extend the arms forward, hands
together, throw the chest out, and at
the same tithe swing the arms back
ward, clapping the arms behind.

Advice to the Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax
FORGET THE GIRL.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 25 years old, and have a
country business. I am madly in
love with a girl who is 23, and she
says she loves me better than any
one else, but she will not consent to
marry me and move to the country.
Would you advise me to sell out
and go to the city or frv to forget
this dear girl? ANXIOUS.
If she loved you as a woman should
love the man she marries, she. would
be willing to go to the ends of the earth
with you.
If you give up a good business chance
to please her now, how do you know
you would not have to make further
material sacrifices to satisfy other
whims?
Tell her the sacrifice it would mean
to you. If she refuses to marry you,
devote yourself to that business. Time
will bring you a sweetheart more sen
sible.
YOU ARE MOST CONCERNED.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am in love with a young man
and he professes to be in love with
me. Several people have remarked
that he is not in my class and I
should not go out with him. How
ever, I have always found him a
perfect gentleman, and do not think
that I shduld give him up.
M. U. T.
That is a question far the girl to
decide for herself. Friends are some
times prejudiced against a girl’s lover,
and as often they take his part with as
little reason. They are such an uncer
tain and unstable factor that it is im
possible to advise one to heed or ignore
them, unless one knows the full cir
cumstances. Whatever you do, do with
deliberation. And remember always
that if these objectors are your friend’s
they are concerned for your interests.
THE DANGER OF DRIFTING.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl now past nineteen and
ain slightly inclined to matrimony.
I have had a number of young men
call upon me, but it seems to me
I seem too shy to accept any one
of them, although they all seem to
be very nice and manly young men.
I am going out with one of the
young men for companionship only.
I am getting of the opinion that
he thinks I am really in earnest,
but I wish to state that I am not
for him, as he thinks, and I don't
like to tell him to stay awav.

“For dark and discolored skin, enlarged
pores, blotches and other facial blem
ishes a simple lotion made at home is
highly recommended. Dissolve an origi
nal package of mayatone in a half pint
witch hazel and rub a little on the face,
neck and arms each morning. This is
better than powder, for .it tends to cor
rect faulty complexions and makes the
skin soft, smooth and youthful looking.
"Plain pyroxin applied to thin and
straggly eyebrows with finger tips causes
them to grow in thick and beautiful.
Eyelashes will come in long and curly if
pyroxin is applied to the roots with fore
finger and thumb.
“A dry shampoo refreshes the scalp,
removes dust, excess oil and dandruff,
and leaves the hair beautifully fluffy,
light and lustrous. To make the sham
poo powder, mix four ounces of powdered
orris root with an original package of
therox. Sprinkle a teaspoonful on the
head, brush it out thoroughly—and you
will be delighted with the result.
“An effective and satisfactory method
of removing superfluous hair is to apply
delatone paste to the hairy surface, al
low to remain two or three minutes, then
wipe off. wash the skin, and the hairs
will be gone. To nfake the paste, simply
