"Good afternoon, Mrs. Josselyn," Ryan said. Ellen, smiling faintly, tried to read his rosy, complacent face. "This Is a most extraordinary tarn of events," he said. "This little fellow had the secret up his sleeve all the time, eh?" Ellen felt almost faint with the rerulslon this change in his manner gnve her. Ryan had always been sharp, suspicious, menacing, before. She wanted to ask: "You believe it, then?" but quick intuition told her that that must wait. So she asked Instead: ^ ^ "Tommy talked, did het^lSe answered your questions?" **He Is an extremely intelligent Child." Ryan remarked. **Oave his testimony like a little man. Nothing that we coald say could shake him. We put him, through a pretty sharp h#lfhour. He stuck to It. I--I won't deny that I think this changes the entire aspect of affairs, Mrs. Josselyn. I've already advised the sheriff to delay tbe--the transfer of Mf. Josselyn." "There may be a new trial?" Ellen asked, trembling. For answer Daniel Kyan smiled at her,- and there was something so kindly, so reassuring, in that red face, when It smiled, thn* she felt a melting, a breaking up of coldness and hate, in her heart. Hate changed suddenly to love, and fear changed to confidence. Ellen experienced the most poignant of all human Amotions. *VV'e may not even have It go to trial." George supplied. "May not?" she echoed, choking. *No," liyan confirmed It. "There is Bo question for a Jury. I don't know of a parallel 'case," he said thoughtfully. "But I should suppose tfcat it would only be necessary to put this evidence before the court, with suitable testimony to its genuineness, to have the whole case dismissed!" He turned to the warden. "May we see lfr. Josselyn?" he asked, with the quiet manner of a man making a request sure to be granted. Gibbs, followed by the Inevitable guard, came in, and they turned to him. Ills silver crest was. as always, as smooth as satin, but he looked illgroomed and hnggard; worst of all, lie looked beaten. There were leadcolored circles about his dark, anxious eyes, and his manner had uncertain ttervous apprehensiveness that was Unlike its old Imperial certainty. "Mr. Josselyn." Ryan said, "has your wife Informed you that we have found some most important testimony bearing upon your case?" You regard it so, Mr. Ryan?" Gibbs ••Id lifelessly. •*"! regard It as more than# important. I regard it as so vital that I feel free to congratulate you upon It. Mr. Josselyn, upon a miraculous escape from an error of the law. And 1 hope to God," Ryan added, "that we will soon find means to j:et you out here!" *•"1 thank you," Gibbs answered blieflv. But Ellen saw his lip tremble. f"Gibbs--my dear, dear boy!" George •tnmmered. taking both his hands. /Ellen had a quick sensation of fillntJiess and nausea. She looked bravely at George, and smiled waverfeffiy- ••We--we mustn't be too sore--" the stammered. A moment later the harsh, whitewashed walls and the VOdded doors, the warden's desk, and ffce tall, bare windows, vanished. She aaw them all blur together, like a picture in a bubble, and, like the bubble, suddenly become flecked with wldeni lng black spots. Then everything was \ Mock. "Oh, don't!" Lizzie said, faintly. With the baby on one arm, and the big suitcase in hls^free hand, Joe went to the waiting motor, and Lizzie, carrying the little suitcase, followed. He put tils wife and baby In the tonneau, but was too nervous himself to Join them there, and walked up and down the sidewalk instead, turning his head whenever a screen-door banged, to look for Ellen. Suddenly they saw her. In a doorway ai hundred feet away, talking to some other marketing woman. The same Ellen, with her blue honest eyes and her sensitive, sweet mouth. There was some hew quality In her fa<*e and manner: what was it?--responsibility, gravity, tenderness, Joe could not tell. He walked up to her, and she raised surprised e.ves. •'Mohiin', Mis' Josselyn!" The puzaled look in her eyes changed swiftly, and she put her hands out and caught at him vaguely, as If to hold a dream. "Joe Latimer! Joe!" She groped for her handkerchief, laughing as she wiped her eyes; tears of Joy stood in his own. "But Joe dear, what brings you here! I simply can't believe It! I can't believe my eyes!" 6he said. "Lizzie brought me!" Joe grinned. Ellen dropped his hand to«go swiftly to the motorcar. "Lizzie!" she echoed radiantly. Her eyes fell upon the bundle In Lizzie's arms, across which Lizzie must lean to return her kiss. "But--but--what!" Ellen stammered. "You--you two haven't got a baby?" Joe thought that one moment was worth all the fatigue of the long trip. "Haven't we?" he said, as Ellen, standing on the curb with the precious bundle in her arms, opened the tissues that screened the tiny face, and bent her Own cheek against the warm, unresponsive little cheek. "Well, 1 have never had such a delicious surprise in my llfeJ" Ellen exclaimed. "You darliLg!" she crooned to the baby. 'What <»id you name him, Joe?" "We thought a good name for him would be Ellen," grinned Joe. It was good to hear her old laugh again, and see the pleasure in her eyes as she glanced front face to face." "Named for me? My own tiny niece! Ah, Joe, you make me proud!" She gave the baby back to Lizzie, and stood for a moment, resting her hands on the car door, and still trying to regain her breath after the surprise. "Well, now, I'll take you home! I may have something else to do while I'm In town, but It has gone completely out of my head, If I have! I can't wait to get home, to show Gibbs what I've brought with me!" Talking of little, inconsequent things, as those who love each other. to say to you," she added, a Utile uncertainly. "was--1 thought 1 would Just tell you--" They were appalled to hear a sudden thickening in her voice, and to see that her utmost effort could not keep her eyes from watering.^ "Yon know that Gibbs hasn't been well, don't you?" she asked, hastily. "You wrote that he wasn't well, some time ago--* Joe. began hesitatingly. "You'll see--a change," Ellen added. "And of course you mustn't let hhn see that you see It." She lost control of her voice again. "I should think this climate would build him up again," Lizzie ventured, a little timidly. Joe looked at her gratefully, and Ellen quickly grasped the thread of comfort. "Oh, Lizzie, it will--they all say It will!" she tald, eagerly, wiping her eyes. But Immediately they brimmed again, and the dark head and the crushed white hat went down on the back of the seat; she burst Into tears. "Oh, Joe--Joe--Joe! He's not going to get well!" she sobbed. "Ellen!" Joe said, nghast. "Oh, I know It," Ellen said presently, lifting her head, and resolutely regaining her self-control. "I know It! I am sure he does, too. I'm sorry to break down this way, but I don't often have a chance," she added penitently, with a watery smile. "I never let hlrn see that--that It's killing me, too," But, Ellen, what Is lt?" Lizzie asked, fearfully. "Well, he was sick, after that terrible two months, you know," Ellen said, reflectively. "He looked--don't you remember how he looked? And then one day Doctor Cutter said, Just casually, "I'd go somewhere where it's hot and dry, Ellen. He's been under a terrible mental and physical strain and he's managed to get a heavy cold, and there's a little affection of the lung." Joe, how could I ever dream It was that! We came to Santa Barbara, and the Perrys wrote us about Los Antonlos, and Gihbs did seem better; he ate well, and usually slept pretty well--" Her voice dropped to utter silence, and they could hear the (fteady, soft rush of the sea again. "But after awhile," Ellen presently went on, "I saw he wasn't gaining--I saw that he wasn't gaining! He began to have bad nights, and he didn't eat so well--! After awhile I wrote the great front veranda, and here Ellen ran with the baby. "I wajit you to meet Ellen Latimer, Gibbs-- !" It was well that they had been warned of what change they might find In him, for Lizzie caught a quick breath as she saw him, and it required all Joe's presence of mind to go forward and greet him naturally. He was stll! handsome--would always be that. But he was painfully tliln, and seemed strangely aged. His dark, splendid eyes shone In a thin face whose temples blazed sometimes with an uneasy color. The ring he always wore was loose on the fine long hand. His hair was an even silvery white. Ills manner was changed, too. There was a gravity, a sweetness and a certain heroic serenity about him that seemed to lift them all Into the plane of simple endurance and renunciation. Lizzie and Joe knew, as they settled laughing into porch chairs to talk to him, that Ellen's worst fears were none too grave. Like Gibbs himself, they must accept the thing as a finality. There was no dispute. They ft>und themselves sud denly confident and gagr, as human beings, forced to accept their own helplessness, usually become. This was in the nature of a c^jstrophe; it was almost as If they had come to California to find that Gibbs was dead. The exquisite hours went on. Below the dark, cool space of the porch the Pacific spread In glittering band. The little crescent of white sand that was their own beach was bared by a lazily receding tide. The garcjeh odors and the resinous smell of^be< pines were permeated by tbe bracing salt breath of the sea. * When Pong, tfce house-boy, In his plum color and pale green, came noiselessly to the porch to announce luncheon, Tommy burst In, sturdy brown Tommy, frantic with excitement at seeing his adored uncle and aunt again. He wns with difficulty persuaded to rush off and transfer some of the dirt on his hands to a towel, and returned with the center lock of his bushy hpir dampened and combed amid a tousled mass thut had not been touched. * Yet even In "Tommy Joe saw the change that n great shadow brings to even the children of a household. He was all tenderness and devotion with his father, and he had a most unchlld- Ish fashion of entering into his mother's mood. When the grass under the oaks was barred with straight lines of shadow from the sinking sun, and a lingering twilight fell flat and soft over the ocean. Tommy, like the others, fell silent, his dark head resting against his father's arm, a big, book opened on his knees. And when Ellen presently called him, there was none of the usual childish protest. He went In, and they heard- Ellen's fingers on the piano, and then the tones of his violin. "He plays wonderfully!" Lizzie said, when the simple air died away. "He plays well for such a child," Gibbs conceded. "And he loves It, which Is hulf the battle. I hope Ellen will make a musician of him!" Lizzie winced away from the quiet Intimation that Ellen alone must control Tommy's destiny. Gibbs was silent again; the others, knew that he saw the Ellen of the years to come with the growing boy beside her. Can't Believe We're Here!* Joe* Echoed Her Thought. "In a Few Minutes We'll See Her!"

'M- "Sure you can; you can phone from ^fcere," said that delicate, blonde, mus- Sjjjtaehed official pleasantly. "Phone Murgarage, and they'll take you up »Hbere. The Josselyns who have the old *erry place. Isn't It? Sure, It's about •*lx miles out of town, up In the hills." jHe meditated a second, and then, with burst of Interest, he added. "Say, Irs. Josselyn was in here about a mlnite ago! Know her car? It must be * Y r^rfght ontside here." > And he obligingly stepped to tbe f*v?%Ptooor with the newcomer, and looked and down the street, if?"That's the car." he said. Indicating that had been left empty before the poo* bltice door. "If you get in Ck there an<j wait for Mrs. Josselyn shell out of somewhere." Latimer went across the street took the baby from Its do at first, they drove through the dusty street, and past flat fields where great oaks threw blots of shade on the shining brown grass, and so climbed a curving road into the hills. Here and there on the slopes a brown bungalow clung, half-hidden in trees. Ellen pointed at a sloping roof, halfway between the ridge pfld the shore. "That's the house," she told them. "It belonged to a Mr. Perry, who knew Gibbs. you know, and he loaned It to us at first. But we loved It so we couldn't think of moving away, and a year ago Gibbs bought It." "It's a wonderful life to me," Ellen admitted thoughtfully. And as she made no motion to start the car, but sat twisted about In her seat, looking down vaguely at the sea, Joe wondered again what that new look In her eyes meant. "We can't get enough of It," she added. "It's all so deliclously simple. and so free: like being children again. It's taken us back to our summers in Brittany. George and Harriet were here in--in July, I think It was. Gibbs' friends are always going and coming through San Francisco, and they come down!" "Lord, what air!" Joe said, with a deep breath. The sweet odor of the pines was drifting through the still warmth. "Oh, It's marvelous, Joe. December Is npt to have days like this, and February is a great month for picnics!" Ellen said, eagerly. "What I wanted for Young A thrill, and one of tbe sweetest, comes once In a lifetime when the first party dress Is selected, says a fashion writer in the New York Times. Nothing has ever seemed or will ever seem quite so important and nothing has ever been known to give more satls- •faction, more beatific contentment. It Is the early dawn of that peace of mind and poise that come from the feeling that one is well dressed, and to the woman of discriminating taste tills feeling is of supreme importance all through her life. Whenever that great event happens, whether It Is Just a children's party or something more pretentious a few years later, the occasion is never to be forgotten. The frolics of very little people mean to them a fresli frock not too good to be spoiled by play. The real thrill comes when the affair Is a real party. ^ . Parents who have the understanding that, all properly trained parents should have make a supreme- effort to meet the occasion, and a clever couturiere cO-operates with more enthu- White Fur, Muff and Warm Leggings for the Tiny Tots. been In to see him, and that he thought he could not Improve upon his instructions then: to sleep In the open air. and live simply, and not catch cold So Gibbs knows, but he never spoke of that call to me. "Lately," she finished, "he has been keeping to iiis couch a good deal; he doesn't Join us In gardening or picnics, as he dfd hist year. Well! I only wanted to warn you. Perhaps It Is my own fancy, portly. And, Joe--what a year we have had! A whole year of paradise, nothing but each other, and Tom, music, and books and the garden, and the ocean! It has blotted out all the bitterness--wiped out the tfast. The Perrys called the house 'Arcady, nnd we've kept the name--at first for convenience with the tradespeople, but now because we know it fits!" She started the car down the grade, presently turning in at an opening in a stone wall that was so smothered In vines, BO closely surrounded with the color scheme of greens and browns about It as to be almost Invisible. "Ob, pretty I" Lizzie said, involuntar- Uy. "This is the house," Ellen smiled. "Welcome, you darlings! Give me that angel, Lizzie, I want to show her to Gibbs!" She led them through the wide side hall, where great logs waited In a stone fireplace, and bowls of flowers glowed in a tempered light. A glass double door gave upon the CHAPTER XVIII Two or three days later Gibbs proposed a beach luncheon. Ellen, bright ly Indifferent when he first suggested It, was fired with sudden enthusiasm and delight when it transpired that he himself planned to go, too. "Oh, he is better!" she said over nnd over again, as she buttered bread and trimmed oiled paper. They set off in a straggling line: Tommy leaping ahead with his dog, and circling them as senselessly; Gibbs and Joe following, the latter with his tiny daughter held safely in his arms. "I have neve:* seen a man as Infatuated with a tiny scrap of humanity as Joe Is with the baby!" Ellen smiled. "Does It make you Jealous, Lizzie?" "Oh, Ellen, no!" Lizzie said, horrified. "I didn't realize--I don't think he did--what the baby was going to mean!" she added presently. "The night she was born--I'll never forget his fnce! I had been ill, you know, all the time, and I had thought sometimes that 1 mightn't live, and that that was the way it was all to end! And then came that fearful pain and--bewilderment--" "I know!" Ellen nodded. ' slasm than slie can ever feel In the work she does for grownups. It Is a challenge to the Intuition, the taste, the fine sense of propriety in the artist, the mnking of this party dress, and It Is not an easy task. It Is vitally Important that the young person shall show she is no longer a baby. Also that she shall not appear too grownup or be dressed too sophlstlcatedly. We Americans have much to learn from the people of England and the continent. They all delight to dress their children as "young" as possible, which seems to keep them so. This is what every woman devoutly desires, but the tiling that Is most elusive i^nong the small fry this side of the water. The shingled head has done much to equalize the years, and the little girl and the debutante are so much alike that the distinction is not always simple. Not any of these considerations discount the Importance of that first party dress. The styles In frocks for little girls of tbe difficult age, when angular lines and awkwardness are the rule, have never been more attractive than they are this season. With infinite skill Parisian artists have modified the extremes with which even the children's and misses' clothes have lately been marked and have seized upon the new features that best become the younger people. Short Pyffed Sleeves. i The latest ideas in sleeves--tbe short puffed sleeve that gives snch a quaint effect in dancing frocks and the long sleeve that adds demure dignity to the daytime dress--are among the welcome changes In styles for children. Another change is the length of skirt, still so very short for the tiny tots, but perceptibly longer for the girl whose legs so quickly outgrow her silhouette. And there are the collar and cuff sets that add such an air of. daintiness to a simple frock. These points and other? combine to present a Jeune fille style that is delightful, illustrated in a number of models created by some, of the most Important designers In Paris. People of such prestige as Paquin, Alice Bernard, Chanel and Vionriet delight In making fashions for young and vefy young people, giving them all the subtle charm, fine quality and tone one might look for Jn the gowns of a lady of importance in the beau monde. In these the most admirable restraint and the nicest sense of fitness are reflected. Many o' the little models are works of art in the highest degree tat the designing of clothes. Paquin, for example, leaves for the moment his larger problems to create a sweetly pretty, altogether Parisian little party dress of baby blue taffeta, trimmed with border half the length of the skirt, with a crosswise shirring and strips of silver embroidery. Some of this shirring is applied on the front of the bodice, which Is only slightly longer than the normal waistline. A narrow belt of sliver ribbon is tied in a bow-knot, with ends at one side. In sharp contrast to this winsome frock Is a merry one of geranium pink velvet made quite plain; with a suggestion of the directoire In Its lines. The waist Is perfectly plain, with a deep cape collar of plaited chiffon opening In front The skirt, which ends Just below the knee, Is laid In deep box plaits, and has wee stiff cravat bows of ribbon sewn each side of the front, as the plaits meet. Of still another quite different type is a robe de style done by a French modiste. In apfrle green taffeta. This frock has no furbelows, but the skirt which Is gathered full to the plain, sleeveless bodice. Is trimmed with three hands of the silk, each scalloped at the edge. ' This little dress has the air of a "period" costume and ls^gulte long. Material Is Important. Lanvln's things for children are usually important as to material, and they have a certain dignity which requires much skill to keep from them any suggestion of muturer styles. One lately showu by a New York Importer Is distinctly smart, of dark blue vel vet, embroidered on the pockets aud down the front with gold-brown silk The waist is a deep blouse. The skirt is laid in kilt plaits around the side and back, and Is barely knee-length. In another model from this house, coat of hunter's green velvet Is cut in straight line with a high, rather mill tary collar, and is embroidered in sll ver down the front, wrists and neck Lanvin completes these chic little affairs by designing for each a variant of the cloche bonnet, and lnvariabiy adds ribbon streamers at the back.

Lizzie explained. "1 said to myself. Ellen, that the past was gone. I was Joe's wife, and Ellen's mother, and the happiest woman in the world! If God forgives us, sometimes 1 think it's sin not to forgive ourselves. So If ever 1 find myself blue, I Just think that." "And the consequence Is. that you don't find yourself blue!" Ellen said gayly. 'Oh, Tm too happy! Joe--" Lizzie said. She gave Ellen a bride's halfshamed. half-mischievous smile-* Is an angel!" announced Lizzie. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Itt 1T15 It was ordered by the general court that a suitable man be appointed to construct a code of laws for the New Haven colony. Tbe appointment fell to Governor Eaton and he was instructed by the general court to study the laws of Massachusetts colony, and also the "Discourse on Civil Government in a New Plantation," by Reverend Mister Got ton, to aid him In his work. Governor Eaton promptly Issued a code of laws, many of which were from the Massachusetts code. Puiy presented to the elders of correct Jurisdiction, the fruit of the governor's toll was by them approved and passed, says the Detroit News. The general court, moreover, ordered 800 copies there v* e SHld, to he printed for tbe New Haven col- Istory New Haven ford, Windsor and Wethersfield and wild adjacent territory. The term "blue laws," therefore, undoubtedly came from the fact that the first printed laws of either .colony, being those* of Governor Eaton, were enveloped In blue paper. So the code of Governor Eaton comprised the real and original blue laws and since these were enacted for New Haven colony It Is "further established that they should be called the "blue laws of New Haven colony" nnd not of Connecticut Tbe laws of other colonies were also used in constructing the code and many of them are at the present time upon the statute hooks of Connecticut.

One model JuBt brought out Is unusually smart. It is cut after the pattern of the latest blouse, almost to the knee, to which Is added a slightly godeted flounce having large motifs In scarlet 8llk chain-stitch embroidery appllqued. over the Joining. A piping in scarlet silk outlines all the edges of the frock, which Is sleeveless and cut in slightly bateau line at the neck. In a unique and particularly dainty little party dress, pale blue grosgrain ribbon with p'eoted edges and shot with silver is used In straight bands across the neck, in stripes down the sides from shoulder to hem. aud tied in a bow to hold the Blight fullness at the waistline under each arm.
