A s I w as leaving tho office B ax ter ca lled to mo th a t if I w as goiug to w alk hom e I10 would go w ith me.

I could no t th in k of an y th in g th a t v/ould tu rn him off, how ever, so I replied, w ith w ha t h e a r t in e s s ‘1 could, sum m on, "All right. Com o along.”

T ho reason fo r my no t w anting him o r any ono olso w ith mo was an ab- s u rd one, and I had th e g race to bo ash am ed of m yself even w hile ac­know ledging its w eight. F o r th e la s t m o n th I had becom e foo lish ly 'in lovo •with a girl I did not know, tuid th e only*tim e 1 saw h e r w as in th e a fte r­noon on M ichigan avenue, when I was going back from tow n and she w as com ing down.

Absurd as i t m a y . seem , an o th e r porson alw ays seem ed in trud ing . T herefore I cursed B axter Inw ard ly and ta lked business out­w ard ly as we le ft Jackson boulevard a iid tu rn ed in to M ichigan avenue. ,*

I t w as a beautifu l au tum n a fte r­noon. Tho g rass in tho park w as s till g reen , and a fresh , exh ila ra ting lireeze blew in from th e lake. Sho would certa in ly -n o t m iss such a day fo r h e r w alk, I argued, and 'fixed my

. eyes 011 the s tream of people llowing s tead ily p ast mo ou th e w alk, tryfng to catch a glfm pso of a trim figure in a g ra y w alking suit,

| I had often w ondered Wljere she w en t overy afternoon, and even plan­ned to follow h e r; bu t I was positive­ly .tim id for once, and afra id to m ake a n y advance, which would g ive me in fo rm ation abou t my unknow n.

She wore a black ha t, tilted over h e r forehead, and she a lw ays gave m o a quick, com prehensive look from u n d e r It, as we passed. As for me, I ■fixed my oyea*nn h e r and never took th e m off m rfilw he had gone by; it w as only by a superhum an effort of will power th a t I did n o t tu rn and e ta re a f te r her. •.

‘'W h a t’s tlio m a tte r? ” -I asked. I fe jt good-natured enough to ta lk to any one, and I suddenly conceived a g j a t In to rest In Baxter, l ie could tell m e who she w as—perhaps bo tho m eans in tim o of my m eeting her.

“Did you seo tlia t girl I bowed' to J u s t.n o w ? ” ho said.

“Tlio onp in gray? Yes; I noticed her."' “W ell, th a t 's she. Clio's th e one.”

In vain I a ssu red him of my in te res t in his affairs, of my desire and ab ility to help him If he needod help ; ho would tell m e nothing. W hat an un­m itigated fool 1 had boon!

said finally in desperation .“M iss’ Norwood— E thel Norwood. ‘

“I suppose she goes- downtowu to m eet somebody, doesn’t she?" ‘

1TJOAHETOO LATE.'

Two women atood In a low, ra fte red k itchen , tho red glow of tho fire be­h ind them ; ono old and gajm t, ho r lank , gray; h a ir s tragg ling from he* n ea th a ru s ty black cap, h e r keen b lack eyes glancing w ith hawk-llko .vigilance above a thin, hooked nose; tho othor, young and comely, ch es tn u t ha ired and gray-eyed, w ith a finely m olded figure and beau tifu l poised head , th e sim plicity of tho p easan t In h e r spotless p rin t gown, b u t a peasan t .■with th e carrlago of a queen.

As R alph W rougton en tered they looked a t him in silence fo r a m inute or m ore, and lie looked back a t them hoping, perhaps, * they would speak nnd m ako his hard ta sk som ew hat easie r, b u t if b o he hoped in vain.

“I—have come back," ho said a t length.

“I see th e e hast, lad," th o old wom­an assen ted brusquely. "H ast come back as poor as thee w ent?”

"P o o rer; I—have failed.”“I never looked for thee to do augh t

else. W ell, well! and a f te r thy big w ords and all! T hy schooling has no t done m uch for thee, beyond giving th ee notions abovo th y sta tion in life and a sinful prido th a t would tak e none of God’s good g ifts 'w ithout thou cou ldst pay for them , and p u t down sh illing for sh illing ; th o u ,'b eg g ared before thou w ast born ; who, b u t for tho charity ' of neighbors, h a d s t draw n th y first b rea th in tho workhouse!/* .. She broke off, and. w ith a keen g lanco a t th o s ilen t woman beside her, c la tte red dut, closing tho door a s sho w e n t

S ince th a t first look on h is en* tran ce , he had no t once glanced a t tho younger woman, b u t h e r eyes had n e v er le ft h is face. T hey w ere fixed on h e r now w ith a curious in ten t gazo th a t he m ight havo found i t hard to read.

“R alph—not a word for mo?”“N ot one^—th a t you would caro to

h ear. I ’havo failed.”*T3ut—h a s t done th y b est?”"Phoebe, I did my best; b u t to

I am a b roken m an ; broken in body and m ind ; and I have a good h o p e 'n o wtlia t soon, very soon ”

“W hat, R alph?”"My wife will bo a widow, and-r-a

Tree \voman.” ."A nd you th ink—I shall bo g lad !”

sho said,' in a dull, tone less voice, m ost un like h e r own.

"T hink? I know, i t ; and I do no t b lam e theo f o r . i t I b lam e none b u t m yself. T h y fa th e r did th ee an .111. tu rn , P h o e b e /th e day he m arried my. m other, and b rought such a beggarly b ra t homo to be a b ro the r to thee .'’

"T hy m o ther ha's been a good m oth e r to me.” T he w om an’s voice ro* called him as ho raised h is head to lis ten . “ *Twas my fa th e r cam o be ­tw een us.” • •

"N ay, n a y ; ’tw as ho th rew us to ­ge ther. Thou w ouldst n e v e r have th o u g h t to *do-*iV'lth such, a no’er-do- ’well, and th a t s e t theo to sp ite him .”

T he tired voice sank to silence. H e w as too w eary to say more.

"Ralph, lad —Oh, I deserve i t all! Thou dost r ig h t td blam e m e!”

“B lam e th ee?” ho looked a t her in a bew ildered so rt of way. "L did go t th in k to b lam e thee.”

T h e wom an flung herself On her k nees beside him, and took h is w ast­ed hands in h e r strong, w arm clasp. ,

"Oh, lad, forgive me. I-^have been a b e a s t to thee, b u t I—loved thee . .1 loved theo through it all. I t angered m o th a t thou w ast poor, bu t folk- should th in k —Oh, lad, speak to me. S a y , ‘I forgive thee.* ”

"She clung closer to him, a daw n­ing te rro r in h e r g re a t gray. eyes.

"R alph, lad , I love thee,” sho cried / "D ost thou hear? I love thee. I have longed for theo all these w eary yearsto te ll theo, to show th ee ” •*.-

A nother sound broke in on th e p a t­te rin g of th o ra in —th e sound of pat*,

, te rin g feet along tho passage, and then a child’s happy laugh ter!

"H ist, R a lp h !” und she sp rang t o : h e r f e e t “D ost h ear? Thou w ilt hear him —my son—ray little boy—whom I have so longed to show . him to h is fa th e r! .0 , thou w ilt forgive mo now and lovo me, and—R alph! R alph !”

A ccording to the reports o f travel* ers, th e tre a tm en t of political prison­ers in Siberia has becom e even more rigorous th a n .'evbr before, an d new v ictim s are being exiled in increasing numbers.-:

To add to th e horror of {he situa tion th e governm ent g ra n t of -300,000

This m eans th a t m any of them aro lite ra lly s tarv ing to death in t h e p i t i ­less d e se rts of the n o r th . ' P a rticu la rly is. th is the case ih tlie provinces o f V erkhoyansk * and K oiim sk, w here there is little m eans o f earn in g ha­'penny: U nder th e regulations, these;exiles receive no allow ance un til proof , has bebn. received th a t they have no re la tives le f t in R ussia ab le to support them . I t tak e s abou t tw elve m onths to g e t th is inform ation , and in th e in­terim th e re is no th ing b u t s ta rvation ahead fo r tho exile unprovided w ith funds. .

T he p rac tice of b ran d in g those am ong these poor w retches who, in tlie estim ation of th e C zar’s officials, a te th e m ost dangerous, Is b ru ta l and revolting. M e n nnd wom en alike a re seared w ith ho t irons in a m an n er

w h ils t th e m an ipu la to r of the burning iron proceeds to m ark th e degrading d isto rted fea tu res of tho sufferer. The sm ell of bu rn ing flesh and th e h ea rt­rending, sh rinks com bine to produce a scene w hich is so nausea ting a s to defy description. v

I t h a s been given out th a t tho use of th e knout a s a mode of punishm ent has been forb idden by -tho au th o ri­ties; b iit th a t is one of the .m any spe­cious p retenses w ith wiiich tiie R us­sian G overnm ent seeks to Impose up­on ou traged hum anity . The knou t is as m uch in fuse to-day a s it ever was. Only a few da3's ago a peasant, a t V itebsk, w ho had been d riven froni the d is tric t on suspicion of belonging to a heterodox religious sect, w as d is­covered by th o polico who applied • the knout so severely, to him th a t lie died.'

I t w as reported by the police th a t tlie m an had com m itted suicide in prison. H is fellow -w ork men : learned the tru th and set fire to th e barracks in w hich th e police w ere lodged. Iu . consequence o f th is a c t som e . fifty men and w om en w ere a t once hurried , off to S iberia. : : ;

N ot long ago a child pupil a t one of the governm ent schools w as de­tected read ing a book of fa iiy tales, w hich, i t seem s, had been prohibited , by th e censor, who thought th a t sortie of tho ta les could be applied to R us­sian political conditions.. W hen ques­tioned a s to .w here he go t th e book, lie ; said .i t had been len t to him by. tlie c a re tak e r of the school. T h is infer* niation ra ised the g rea te s t d istu rbance im aginable;/ T he ; principal of the school reported th e - care tak e r’s- ac­tion to the governm ent, w ith th e re ­su lt tn a t he took .an early - d ep artu re for Siberia. T his did not end the trouble, fo r th e school officials ..who. denounced th e p rinc ipa l's action ad m ean and! contem ptib le w ere p rom pt­ly ban ished from the province for th ree years. As th e decree included all th e ir re la tives, 120 persons in all w ere pun ished because a . harm less lad w as seen reading a harm less book of fa iry ta les w hich Is read by chil*. dfen .in a lm ost every language.

The nex t ‘ \veek• they- "wero.- n o t •. of such a cheerful, caste. Once or. tw ice, in m om ents Of discouragem ent^ I even heard the hym n, "O n-Jo rd a n ’s S torm y B anks I S tand i" 1 *' ,

O n e m e m o r a b l e n i g h t . a f t e r J d c k had tied : h is c rav a t fifteen tim es to. tho tu n e of "O Prom ise Mo,” ho p ress­ed m y hand, on golhg out, w ith a low “W ish me success, old boy. I'm golhg to do o r d ie !” *

A bout 11 o’clock he re tu rn ed . I knew by h is glorified face th e m inute I saw him th a t he had won her, . .For, once he w as too happy to w histle . H e

jk n e w .no song to ‘express his, joy, He, shook, my hand, excla.Im lng,’ "S he’s m ine! She’s m ine!”. . I congra tu la ted him h eartily and (mi^kly, and th en Jack told mo about th e wonderful woman who had prom ised to becom e his wife.

No need jto ask -vWmt th e troublo was. They, had quarrelled . F o r a day Jack w as studious. H e pored over his- form erly deserted books, and evident­ly had decided to lead a s tu d en t 's life.

Two years passed and she heard no th ing of him. H e r little charges , had been s en t to .schoo l, and sho had found a position as te ach e r in h e r na­tiv e town.

Satisfaction is a great th ing iu a suit of clothing— tlie knowledge that your garments f i t perfectly, have that par- ticular'hang that only sk illed cutters and expert makers can produce ' • T hen its satisfaction, too, to know that the material is modish, that the details of m aking are just right — the inside as carefully constructed as^the olitskle parts that show. W e.guarantee satisfaction to patrons of our made-to-order clothing department. E xcellen t suits made to measure for as low as &15. Better garments for more money, but a perfect fit and perfect finish-in every instance.'
