Why, the only trouble we ever have here is raised by them who want to forfeit their good time; they‘re so sorry to be goin‘ out. And a gentieman like youâ€"well, things will go as smooth as «lidin‘ down a cellarâ€"door. We‘ll let you rest up for a few days, and then find some soft snap for you, in the library, praps.

He fumbled in his pocket and proâ€" duced a businessâ€"card. "You are quite right, young lady," he said. "I have made a mistake. 1 am, as you see, a private detective, and | took veur friend here for a party I had been engaged to pipe. | regret my mistake exceedingly;" and he raised his napless hat with a grand air. ‘ Millicent dropped the card disâ€" dainfully from the tips of her fingâ€" ers. "Let him go, I say," she deâ€" clared, "if only he will go at once." Aund Naylor made haste to avail himâ€" self of the permission though he chot back a glance at the girl that made his illâ€"favored face venomous "I don‘t think he will annoy you further." said the young man, "but 1 It was night, merciful night, that hides so much and has so much to bide, when Paul Breen had been brought to Roscoe prison. He was apathetic; _ for acute. agony often works it own relief by provoking a conflict between the flesh and the epirit, in which the former wins And so, he passed through the ronâ€" tine of admission an indifferent spectator of himself, rather than the principal actor in an unheroic traâ€" gedy of living death. As if in a dream, he answered the reqnired questions regarding himâ€" self and his previous state, and deâ€" livered over his valuables and clothâ€" ing. As if in a dream, he listened to the wellâ€"meant aseurances of the deâ€" puty. "But this person doesn‘t look like «_ common sneak thief," Millicent suggested,. thoughtfully. "Let us find out who he is. Remember, Conâ€" stance, what father said. We must be cautious." "I am a very proud one to have your commendation," he replied. suppese he is goingk south on the train with you, and 1 don‘t quite irust him. His bmusiness is against him. |you know. So, if you don‘t : t i mind. I shall keep my eye on him while on the train. Permit me to band you my card. also." "You are a manly man," said Milliâ€" cent, with a droll glance toward Constance The card read, "James Tancredi, Professor of Applied Therapeutics, Carteret: College." Millicent placed it carefully in the bag at her beit, with a smile that seemed to say that eircumstances altered cases. | Then the girls thanked him for his offer o1 assistance, and they separated. But Professor Tancredi took the same car when the train arrived. and cat several seats back of them. Though he was soon convinced that the â€" private â€" defective | was _ not ahoard. he continued his reapectful seruftiny, and, when they alighted at an â€" intermediate station, where a ferryâ€"bouat would take them across the river to the branch road running to Nadonk,. his gaze followed them with intermat and admiration "I saw this scoundrel reach over and help himself to your satchel." he said. . "It is yours, isn‘t it, madam * "Ob, no, indeed. Let him go. 1 don‘t want to make any trouwble for the poor feliow." At this moment Millicent returnâ€" ed, and Constance bastily related what had happened. The athletic young fellow again bowed politely. "Yes, thank you," Constance reâ€" plied. "I am so much obliged. I was thinking of something else." ‘"Do you wish to have him arrestâ€" ed?" the young man â€" inquired. Whereupon the cuiprit made a franâ€" tic bolt for the door, but in an inâ€" stant was seized by the shoulder and whirled back into his place apparâ€" ently without an effort. formed back into the seat. Then the young man politely raised his hat, and explained.

WHEN IN TORONTO Make Your Home CHAPTER XIvV In a New World The Case Some time in the endless morning, after the men had marched out, Paul heard, amid the swish of brooms and mops and the drip of soapy water, a merry voice singing the old, vagaâ€" bond _ refrain of "Laddy. faddy, whack _ fal laddy." and, almost against his will, he listened. It was the man cleaning the gallery who sang in such jJoyous recklessess as, down on hands and knees, he forced his way backward, plying the brush vigorously and pulling the puil after him. As lie cume to the out«ide of the sgrating. he sprapg to his feet and stood, looking in,. his bare and wet arms akimbo. "Are you the guy who kem in last night?" he asked. "Yes," Paul answered; "L was brought to this place last night." "How much did you git?" "I was sentenced for the term of my natural life" "Gee but they soaked it to you. Then you don‘t want your old clothes, do you? Say, if you‘re anx‘us to make aminds for your ovil doin‘s by a bangâ€"up good deed, jest give me an order on the deputy for them duds, will you? I‘ll be goin‘ ont afore long, in jest fiftyâ€"seven and a yap; and I wud like for onct to be able to teach the public not to trust to appearances, and be damned to han," "What, fiftyâ€"seven days?" "‘Nope. fiftyâ€"seven mont‘s." "I‘ll think it over," eaid Paul, smiling faintly. "since there is no inmediate hurry. By the way. my friend, what is your name?" "Them that knows my qualificaâ€" trns best calls me Soci‘ty Dan." "Well, Soci‘ty." Paul continued. "you see that all this is very strange to me. ‘My head is still in a whirl. and yet, l do begin to feel that it is a man‘» part not to despair. So. if you will kindly help me with your pmumtical advice to get along as easily and quietly as possible, J. on my side. will gladly do all I can for you: that is. if there is anything 1 "Annythin‘." repeated Soci‘ty, siipping his hands together in high excitement, "I «hud radder say there wore.

Annythin‘? â€"why, there‘s everythin‘. and none too much, too, whin you reckon how I‘ll fetch you a bran‘â€"new, swampâ€"grass mattress, and a rid and green sprid. and the unly springs in the jint.â€" «ure the dago on Tier A croaked earey on ‘em.

Keep busy, I say, and don‘t look back; As if in a dream, Paul stood igainst the grating the liveâ€"long might, his hands. above his head, :rasping the bars in familiar posâ€" ture, not noting the tobaccoâ€"stained, w«hiteâ€"washed wall of the corridor »pposite, or the flickering gas jet. ‘obwebâ€"festooned. that kept out the dark but substituted only gloom; not hearing the heavy breathings, the groans, the restless pacings, the uarrels and struggles, the hideous curses, the more hideous laughter, which form the commonplace inciâ€" dents uF_a prison night; not tasting the foul, acrid, airâ€"but seeing ever betore him, as if in a beatific vision, the gloriffed face of Constance Sanâ€" derson, embodying love and trust. can do You‘ll git fixed up in there after a little," said the deputy, as he again turned his key back and forth, with a dexterous sh{!ve between. "I give you my word, lyou‘ve got the choice of the place. This is quality row. you know â€" nothin‘ under ten year, and only one of him. Hear that snorâ€" in‘ from B33, next door? He was 2 slip of a lad when he came in, and he‘s got gray hair now. There‘s nothin‘ like it, 1 tell you." your friends will pull the strings, and the first thing you know you will be pardonedâ€"" As if in a dream, Paul followed through the carefully unlocked and relocked iron door into the dimily lighted hall, and along the narrow wooden gallery on the second tler Of cells you begin toeweat from the summer. After all, you got off lucky, damme, if you didn‘t; and, in a fow years, when people have begun to forget, To be sure," the deputy assented Indulgently. ‘That‘s just what they wll say. I‘ve been here now, keepor and deputy, above twenty year, and never onet have | met a guilty man. Now, then, you might come along with me." "Pardoned?" Paul repeated dully; "a man should be guilty in order to be pardoned. ’ Moved by C. T. Groh, seconded by F. A. Klein that the following acâ€" counts be paid. Jno. Flynn, Coal for Melatosh, Goyett and Levitt, $56.00; F. L. Wallâ€" son, coal for Kaden, $6.25; L. Barâ€" don, bread for Scellen family, $23.â€" U0; F. Murphy, bread for Goyett, $16.48; J.

Say, you wudn‘t mind coughin‘ up that silk swipe around your neck, wud you, as a sorter payment on account?" This singular partnership worked well. Mercenary as Soci‘ty undoubtâ€" edly was, with a perpetually itching palm. he yet had a crude sense of loyalty, even as he had an acute sense of possible advantage. These two feelings combined to make him an invaluable guide through the thickets and around the ambushes of that strauge country to which Paul now owed allegiance. Besides, Soci‘ty not only liked but sympaâ€" thized with the newâ€"comer, recognizâ€" ing him, with keen convict judgâ€" ment, as a different and superior type. No lot can be harder than that of him who dares stalk in borâ€" rowed plumes in prison. On the other hand, not in the most exclusive court of the world is true gentleness so quickly admitted and so thoroughâ€" ty appreciated. Puul, then. with a resolute, heart, though still clouded brain, devoted himself to the present duty. He did zet busy, and he refused to look back. The easy work in the library necupled him; but more, its monoâ€" tony, day by day, lulled him like an spiate. He no longer found the mornings interminably long. The segular, unvarying stages of the day swept on like the revolutions of some vast machinery. Soon the weeks and even the months began to fall into the same rapid, unsweryâ€" ing advance, and even as the deputy | had predicted, the cold of winter| was banished by the warm of sum-' mer before it had been felt. + Whereas the usual requests for road improvement has been made the council decided to make an inâ€" spection of roads and bridges during the coming week in order to deterâ€" mine the location and extent of work to be undertaken during the present year. He was not bappy, and yet he was not acutely miserable. He still was itunned. There is something in the inevitablenese of defeat that tranâ€" quilizes. Whe the struggle is over, then the vanquished may rest. Life‘s note was plaintive, attuned to tears; vet, in.its reiteration, there was no tumult, no jar. very part of herself. Without being hopeful, they encouraged; without ~romising, they assured. Why, then, should he despair‘ The cataclysm had passed; the rtuin had been yrought. And yet he lived; and yet he was beloved.
