God seldom grants to such beauty so lovely a spirit. If the features them­ selves failed to appeal, certainly he must feel the charm of an expression which had already netted so many hearts. Breathlessly she watched him, and, as she watched, she noted the heavy lines carved in his face by thought and possibly by sorrow, slowly relax and his eyes fill with a wistful tenderness. "Parents must learn to endure bit­ terness. I have not been exempt my­ self from such. Tour child will not die. You have years of mutual com­ panionship before you, while I have nothing. And now let us end this in­ terview, so painful to us both. Tou have said--" ' "No," she broke in with sudden vehemence, all the more startling from the restraint In which she had held herself up to this moment, "1 have not said--I have not begun to say what seethes like a consuming fire in my breast. I spoke of a miracle--will you not listen, judge? I am not .wild; I am not unconscious of presumption. I am only in earnest, in deadly ear­ nest. A miracle is possible. The gulf between these two may yet be spanned. I see a way--" What change was this to which she had suddenly become witness? The face which had not lost all its underly­ ing benignancy even when it looked its coldest, iiad now become settled end hard. His manner was absolutely repellent as he broke in with the quick disclaimer: "But there is no way. What mir­ acle could ever make your daughter, lovely as she undoubtedly is, a fitting match for my son! None, madam, ab­ solutely none. Such an alliance would be monstrous; unnatural." "Why?" The word came out boldly. "Because her father died the death of a criminal?" The answer was equally blunt. "Yes; a criminal over whose' trial hie father presided as judge." Quick as a flash, however, came the retort. "A judge, however, who showed him every consideration possible. I was told at the time and I have been as­ sured by many since that you were . _ „ more than just to him in your rulings. I son. Oh, she is worthy -of him. Judge Ostrander"--he had taken a step toward the hall door; but he pailsed at this utterance of his name-- "answer me this one question. Why did you do this? You must have hated him deeply--your feeling for Mr. Eth- eridge was well known. Then why such magnanimity toward the man who stood on trial for killing him?" Unaccustomed to be questioned, though living in an atmosphere of con­ tinual ' yes and no, he stared at the veiled features of one who so dared, as if he found it hard to excucc such pre sumption. But he answered her nev­ ertheless, and with decided emphasis: "Possibly because his victim was my friend and lifelong companion. A judge fears his own prejudices." "Possibly; but you had another rea­ son, judge; a reason which justified you in your own eyes at the time and which justifies you In mine now and always. Am 1 not right? This Is no courtroom; the case is one of the past; it can never be reopened; the pris­ oner is dead. Answer me, then, as one sorrowing mortal replies to another, hadn't you another reason?" The 'judge, panoplie^ though he was or thought he was, against all conceiv­ able attack, .winced at this repetition of a question he had hoped to ignore, and in his anxiety to hide this involun­ tary betrayal of weakness allowed his anger to have full vent, as he cried out in no measured terms: "What is the meaning of all this? What are you after? Why are you raking up these bygones, which only make the present condition of affairs darker and more hopeleaB? Oliver Ostrander, under no circumstances and by means of no sophistries, can ever marry the daughter of John Sco- ville. I should think you would see that for yourself." "But if John should be proved to ha7e suffered wrongfully? If he should bo shown to have been innocent?" His rebuke was quick, instant. With a force and earnestness which recalled the courtroom he replied: "Madam, your hopes and wishes have misled you. Your husband vU. a guilty man; as guilty a man as any judge ever passed sentence upon." "But he swore the day I last vis­ ited him in the prison, with his arms pressed tight about me and his eye looking straight into mine as you are looking now, that he never struck that blow. I did not believe him then; there were too many dark spots In my memory of old lies premeditated and destructive of my happiness; but I believed him later, and I believe him now." "Madam, tlfls Is quite unprofitable. A jury of his peers condemned him as guilty and the law compelled me to pass sentence upon him. The inev­ itable must be accepted. I have said my last word." "But not heard mine," she panted. "For me to acknowledge the inevitable where my daughter's life and happi­ ness are concerned would make me seem a coward in my own eyes. Helped or unhelped, with the sympathy or without the sympathy v-pf one who I* hoped would show, himself my friend, 1 shall proceed with the task to which I have dedicated myself. You will forgive me, judge. You see that John's last declaration of innocence goes fur­ ther with me than your belief, backed as it te by the full weight of the law." Gazing at her as at one gone sud­ denly demented, he said: "I fall to understand - you, Mrt.--I will call you Mrs. Averill. You speak of a task. What task?" "The only one I have a heart for-- the proving that Reuther is not the child of a willful murderer; that an­ other man did the deed for which, he suffered. I can do it. I feel confident that I can do It; and If you will not help me--" "Help you! After what I have said and reiterated that he is guilty, guilty, guilty?" Advancing upon her with each repe- tion of the word, he towered before her, an imposing, almost formidable figure. She faced again his anger, which might well be righteous, and with almost preternatural insight bold­ ly declared: "You are too vehement to quite con­ vince me, Judge Ostrander. Acknowl­ edge it or not, there is more doubt than certainty in your mind; a doubt which ultimately will lead you to help me. Then my way should broaden-- a way, at the end of which I see a united couple--my daughter and your the woman broke forth, as he made an­ other repellent and imperative ges­ ture. *'ask anyone in the town where we have lived." Abruptly and without apology for his rudeness. Judge Ostrander turned his back, then with a quick whirl about which brought him face to face with her once more, he impetuously asked: "Madam, you were in my house this morning. You came in through the gate which Bela had left unlocked. Will you explain how you came to do tliito? Diu you kkun that hb WUb going down street, leaving the way open be­ hind him? Was there collusion be­ tween you?" Her eyes looked clearly into his. She felt that she had nothing to dis­ guise or conceal. "I had urged him to do this, Judge Ostrander. I had met him more than once in the street when he went out to do otour errands, and I used all my persuasion to induce him to give me this one opportunity of pleading my cause with you. He was your devoted servant, he showed it in his death, but he never got over his affection for Oliver. I had listened to what folks said. I had heard that you would receive nobody; talk to nobody. Bela was my only resource." He was scrutinizing her keenly, and for the first time understandingly Whatever her station, past or present' she was certainly no ordinary woman! nor was her face without beauty, lit as it was by passion and every ardor of which a loving woman is capable. No man would be likely to resist it un­ less his armor were thrice forged. Would he himeelf be able to? He be­ gan to experience a cold fear--a dread which drew a black veil over the fu­ ture; a blacker veil than that which had hitherto rested npon It But his face showed nothing. He proceeded, with a piercing Intensity not to be withstood: "When you entered my house this morning did-you cone directly to my room?" "Yes. Bela told me Just hotlr to reach it." "And when you saw me indisposed-- unable, in fact, to greet you--what did you do then?" With the force and meaning of one who takes an oath, she brought her hand, palm downward on the table be­ fore her, as she steadily replied: "I flew back Into the room through which I had come, undecided whether to fly the house or wait for what might happen to you. I did not dare to go till Bela cftnsto back. So I stayed watching in a dark corner of that same room. I never left It till the crowd came in. Then I slid out be­ hind them." "Was the child with you--at your' side I mean, all this time?" "I never let go her hand." "Woman, you are keeping nothing back?" "Nothing but my terror at the sight of Bela running in all bloody to eeeape the people pressing after him." Sincerity was in her manner and In her voice. The judge breathed more easily, and made the remark: "No one with hearing unimpaired can realize the suspicion of the deaf, nor can anyone who is not subject to attacks like mine conceive the doubts with which a man so cursed views those who have been active about him while the world to him waB blank." Thue he dismissed the present sub­ ject, to surprise her by a renewal of the old one. "What are your reasons," said he, for the hopes you have just ex­ pressed? I think it your duty to tell me before we go any further. "Excuse me for tonight. What I have to tell--or rather, what I have to show you--requires daylight." Then, m He Was Scrutinizing Her Keenly. as she became conscious of his aston­ ishment, added falteringly: 'Have you any objection to meeting me tomorrow on the bluff overlooking Dark--" The judge was looking at her; he had not moved; nor had an eyelash stirred, but the rest of that sentence had stuck in her throat, and she found herself standing as immovably quiet as he. "Why there?" he asked. "Because"--her words came slowly, haltingly, as she tremulously, almost fearfully, felt her way with him--"be- uc: tLciu Is- other - place --where--I can made--my point." He smiled. It was his first smile in years and naturally was a little constrained--and, to her eyes at least, almost, more terrifying than his frown, "Why have you waited till now?" he called out, forgetful that they were not alone in the house, forgetful,, ap­ parently, of everything but his sur­ prise and repulsion. "Why not have made use of this point before it was too late? You were at your husband's trial; you were even on the witness stand?" She nodded, thoroughly cowed at last both by his indignation and the revelation contained in this question of the judicial mind--"Why now, when the time was then?." Happily, she had an answer. "Judge Ostrander, I had a reason for that, too; and, like my point, it is a good one. But do not ask me for It tonight Tomorrow I will tell yon everything. But it will have to be In the plac* I have mentioned. Will you come to the bluff where the ruins are one-half hour before eunset? Please be exact as to the time. You will see why, if you come." . He leaned across the tail®--they were on opposite sides of It--plunging his eyes into hers, then drew back, and remarked with an aspect of gloom but with much less the appearance of dla- trust: "A very odd request, madam. I hope you have good reason for It;" adding, "I bury Bela tomorrow and the ceme­ tery Is in this direction. I will meet you where you eay and at the hour you name.' And, regarding him closely as he spoke, she saw that for all the cor­ rectness of his manner and the bow of respectful courtesy with which he instantly withdrew, that deep would be his anger and unquestionable the results to her if she failed to satisfy him at this meeting of the value pf her point In reawakening justice and changing public opinion. A CHAPTER V. Excerpts. One of the lodgers at the Claymore Inn had great cautie for complaint the next morning. A restless tramping over his head had kept him awake all night That it was intermittent had made It all the more intolerable. Just when he thought It had stopped it would start up again--to and fro, to and fro, as regular as clockwork and much more disturbing. But the complaint never reached Mrs. Averill. The landlady had been restless herself. Indeed, the night had been one of thought and feeling to more than one person in whom we are Interested. The feeling we can understand; the thought--that is, Mrs. Averlll's thought--we,should do well to follow. The one great question which had agitated her was this: Should she trust the judge? Ever since the discovery which had changed Reuther's pros­ pects Bhe had instinctively looked to this one source for aid and sympathy. But her faith had been sorely shaken in the interview just related, jtle was not the friend she had hoped to find. He had insisted upon her husband'B guilt, and he had remained unmoved, or but very little moved, by the dis­ appointment of his son--his only re­ maining link to life. Judge Oetrander might seem cold--both manner and temper would naturally be much af­ fected by his unique and solitary mode of life--but at heart he must love Oli­ ver. It wae not in nature for it to be otherwise. And yet-- It was at this point in her musing that there came one of the breaks in her restless pacing. She was always of an impulsive temperament, and al­ ways giving way to it. Sitting down before paper and ink she wrote the following lines: My Darling If Unhappy Child: I know that this sudden journey on my part must strike you as cruel, when. If ever, you need your mother's presence and care. But the love I feel for you, my Reuther, is deep enough to cause you momentary pain Iter the sake of the great good I hope to Drlng you out of this shadowy quest. I believe, what I said to you on leaving, that a great injustice was done your father. Feeling so. shall I re­ main quiescent and see youth and love slip from you, without any effort on my part to set this matter straight? I can­ not. I have done you the wrong of si­ lence when knowledge would have saved you shock and bitter disillusion, but I will not add to my fault the inertia of a cow­ ardly soul. Have, patience with me, then; and continue to cherish those treasures of truth and affection which you may one day feel free to bestow once more upon one who has a right to each and all of them. This Is your mother's prayer.--DE­ BORAH SCOVILLE. It was not easy for her to sign herself thus. It was a name which she had tried her best to forget for twelve long, preoccupied years. But her purpose had been accomplished, or would be when once this letter reached Reuther. With these words in declaration against her she qpuld not retreat from the stand she had therein taken. She recommenced that rapid walk­ ing to and fro which was working such havoc in the nerves of the man in the room below her. When she paused it yas to ransack a trunk and bring out a flat wallet filled with news­ paper clippings, many of them dlbeol- ored by time, and all of them ehowlng marks of frequent handling. The first was black with oJd head­ lines: (TO BE CONTINUED.) Boring Thin Glass. Everybody who has tried under­ stands how difficult it is to bore a hole in a strip of thin glass. The fol­ lowing method is said to be very suc­ cessful: Press a cake of wet clay upon the glass and then make a hole through the clay of the desired size, laying bare the glass at the bottom of the hole. Then pour melted lead into the hole, and it will drop through the glass, making a rough aperture. The explanation is that the sudden application of heat cracks the glass In a circle corresponding in size with the hole In the clay.--New York Trib­ une. m: V ••• ..:.5hv ORIGIN LOST IN ANTIQUITY Phrase That Has Become Famous Has Been Credited to Many Think­ ers and Writers. •Germany's place in the sun" is a phrase usually credited: to the former Chancellor von Buelow. But how far hack does it go? A writer to the New York Evening Post quotec from Ernest Renan's "Life Of Jesus," "The situation of a poor man is dreadful; literally there is no place for him in the sun." The writer of the letter observes, "It would be Interesting to know if the metaphor was original with Recan," It was rot » Jtn Pascal's ".Thoughts" this occurs: tHils place in the Bunshlne is mine; that Is the beginning and the type of usurpation the world over." And Pas- eal's "Thought," of that moment, was of war. Was it Louis Fourteenth (the mon­ arch of Pascal's maturity) who had coined the phrase to justify bis ambi­ tions? Or was it the phrase of Riche- IIfia (discoverer ot the youthful Paa- cal's genius) who used it for France? Was it then an old saying, borrowed from Caesar, or Alexander--or maybe from Rameses?

WHAT SPRING HAS IN STORE 8eme General Fact* as to Fashion That May Be Accepted as Being Assured of Adoption. It is at this time of year that all women devote a little energy to won­ dering what the spring has in store for us. Some idea of the things to come may be gathered here and there, but one hears so many rumors that it is difficult to co-ordinate the informa­ tion and draw from it any definite in­ dication of the fashions for tomorrow. There are, however, a few general facts which, without doubt, may be accepted as authentic: Skirts have takeu to Uxei^iClvos a grec.tci..i.w!it!1., which is expressed by graceful gath­ ers, by superimposed flounces, or, when it is a case of heavy material, by flat plaits over the hips. Probably by springtime every trace of a nar­ rower underskirt will have been elim­ inated--a fact that gives us cause for rejoicing. Sleeves will be long, gen­ erally, ^fter the empire fashion, and fitted into their straight armholes without fullness. Collars, for the most part, will be high--a la mllitalre-- though not of necessity tight fitting. Covert cloth has lately been revived, but because of its comparative reason­ ableness we fear It is soon to become ordinary. Jabots are returning to us from the long ago, because1 they Buit most wom­ en, and give an air of distinction to many dresses that need aonle allevia­ tion from somberness. HEALTH HINTS WORTH WHILE MOST USEFUL LITTLE SHELF Receptacle for 8mall Household ToeJa ^ffhat Will Insure Their Betn*^ Always at Hand. The accompanying sketch illustrates an Ingenious little contrivance that will be found very useful hung upon the wall in the, kitchen or perhaps hi a bedroom and in which may find it place- such things as some of the household tools, the paste pot glue pot, etc., etc. It can he ^ulckly and easily made with the aid of four large cigar boxes and a piece of stout board. The lids can be removed from the boxes as they will not be required. The boxes are fastened to the lower half of the board with screws, and' in the upper part of the board two circular holes about the size oj a penny aTe cut, by which'the whole thing may be suspended from two strong brass-headed nails driven into the wall. A glance at the sketch will explain this, and for appearances' sake the board at the back should be rounded at the upper corners and beveled at the edges. When complete, the shelf can be painted with quick-drying enamel of a color to match or harmon­ ize with that of the wall upon tfhicli it is to hang. A little contrivance'of this kind will also be found very, useful in a bed­ room, for in it may be kept medicine bottles and all those odds and ends that tend to litter up a bedroom un­ less some special place is assigned to them. GIVES A PROPER PROTECTION Cover for the More Delicate Garments of the Wardrobe Is a Positive Requirement. Delicate garments, even If hung hp It a wardrobe, require some further protection from dust and dirt, and a cover of some kind to place over them is very necessary. We give a diagram illustrating a capital article to make for this pur­ pose, and when closed it will entire­ ly cover up all the garments hanging upon the back pegs of the wardrobe. It can be opened in a moment and any particular garment removed and equal­ ly quickly done up again. Diagram A shows the shape of the upper part of the cover, and in the center portion circular holes are made corresponding with the positions of the pegs, and Into these holes key­ rings should be sewn in to prevent the material from tearing. On either side there are flaps (D and D) of sufficient width to meet and overlap a little when folded together towards each other. At the back of these flaps, tapes are sewn on by which they c&n be tied c • S s f# together /in the manner shown in diagram B. When this has been done, the flap C can be folded over the top of the pegs, thus entirely enclosing the garments suspended upon them. It will be noticed that rings are sewn on to the upper edgeB of the two portions^ D and D, and prior to tying the cover together in the cen­ ter these rings are slipped over the pegs and so help to hold that part of the cover in position. All that has to be done to remove a garment is to untie the tapes, lift up the flap at the top, and lift the front rings from the pegs. Looped Up Skirts. , In spite of the dominant Idea of flare In the winter skirts--and the flare of them is their most character­ istic feature, whether they be fash­ ioned of one layer or of two, tunic- wise--there are some evening frocks with skirts that are looped up about the hips, almost like bustles, one oh each side. Usually these puffs are Ir­ regular--the one on the right side is higher or lower than that on the left When the frock is made of tulle or lace, roses--artificial, of course--are used to accentuate the loop, where they are garlanded under the puff. Remedies for Distressing Insomnia--- Leaving Powder on the Face All Night la a Great Mistake. To overcome sleeplessness one Bhould perform intense mental work during the first part of the day. The evenings should be devoted to a uni­ form occupation in a uniform environ­ ment and one should be careful to take a sufficient amount of exercise. If the lungs are cramped by im­ proper posture they fail to get the proper amount of o'fl'B®' and do not throw off the waste and poisonous mat­ ters they should. A warm bath will often draw the blood to the surface of the body, and thus bring about sleep. Those who persist in going over in their minds the affairs of the <l&y should sip a cupful of warm water slowly or a glassful of warm milk. Never leave powder on the face all nlgnt, to say nothing of rouge. It is enough to ruin the moBt beautiful skin eventually and Its effect on a complex­ ion which haa ao real claims to beauty Gloves of the Moment. White and black gloves are due gloves of the moment, and the two tones are combined in dozens of dif­ ferent ways. One comblnati6n that ie striking is this: A white dressed kid glove, with black stitching around the edge of the fingers, heavy black embroidery on the hacks, and wide black straps across the inside of the wrists. is nothing short of disastrous. Pow­ der is usually put on oVer a, coating of cold cream to make it stick on, and this paste left on all night clogs the pores. The skin habituated to this treatment is pRuty and sallow, without life, and usually the. pores are enlarged from the deposits of powder. Sand Shades Continue. The sand, biscuit and putty shades bid fair to continue their popularity, and though a month or two ago it was hard to find these shades in the mate­ rials one wanted, they are available now in every sort of Bilk, tyool, linen and cotton. Coverts are in great de­ mand. and if Paris Indorses them for spring they will be more than ever a mania; but there are many other lightweight worsteds in the covert colorings ready to contend for their •hare of feminine favor.
