What on earth had made him lose his temper; lie whose watchword was ‘‘Blessed are the merciful?" A Dash for Freedom. The fortnight he had been forced to spend lu the prison infirmary had bedn a godsend to Rimington. the relaxation of discipline, the Improved food anti 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 tnan, after his kind, was rough tongued and more than inclined to cynicism, but Rimington had a feeling that his disposition toward him was not unfavorable. Whether or not that feeling was true mattered little enough to Rimington. lie felt a warm gratitude toward the doctor, and when, on the morning of his 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, Rim ington felt a quiver run over him. Could it l»e possible that tills man suspected that thought which had never been spoken did his secret cry aloud from Ills eyes? He felt a mask drop over his features, every muscle stiffened. "Yes, sir More healthy than the In door work, sir," he said, and could have imagined that the doctor winked "Belter than the tailor’s shop and The Bllmouth Bulletin? what!” and Rim ington 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 assocaltlon 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 whatr his belief wavered. To day was one of them for the first time, it seemed tojilm, there was a shifty look in the man's eyes Thon, since be was an eminently just man, this prison doc tor, he gave the prisoner the benefit of the doubt and dismissed him f-om his mind.

He would be the better able to sustain the exposure and hunger that would ba Inevitable. Every day as he went out he examined the ground and Ids 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. Rimington 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. ’ice surely sane reflection must have shown him the hopeless folly of the 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 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 w henever you want to, and you can go on as long as you like, or Jake 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 hei superb health to the practice <»f 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 thelr for 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 jox 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 Kiris from joining some ath letic club or ici.gue. 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 J had my way, the girls whq 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 be 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, ns well as the most healthful, lorm of athletics can join a walking club or get one up consisting of friends and, if possible, one older person, as ehapeion and instructor. Very Popular. These walking clubs are quite popu lar In England, and there is no cost attached to such nn 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 town, there is al ways some place not far away where some Interesting event in history oc curred.

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 for several seconds, exhale slowly, lowering the body and arms. An exercise for broadening the chest and expanding the lungs: Stand erect, extend the arms forward, hands together, throw the chest out, and at the same time swing the arms back ward, clapping the arms behind.

I am madly in love with a girl who is 23. and she says she loves me better tha’n 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 try 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 should give him up. M. U. T. That is a question for 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 friends they are concerned for your interests. THE DANGER OF DRIFTING. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a girl now past nineteen and am slightly inclined to matrimony.

I am going out with one of the young men for companionship only. 1 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.

Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young man of twenty and have kept company with a girl one year my junior for two years.

I see her often and have written for an explana tion, but she has never answered me. W. J. O. If fcer action is based on rumors to your discredit, she is not treating you fairly by not giving you a chance to explain. If her coldness means she is tired of you. you only add to her displeasure by persisting in your attentions. Don't write: don't call. If she cares for you, she will take the next step.
