Fos- dick stared at him. "He's mad!" he thought. "You can call-it conscience," Burleson said, answering Mark, "or you can call it loss of nerve. I always planned to do something about it; a deathbed confession, 1 suppose; something dramatic! Off and on I've asked about you in pri- son; 1 was playing for time; for years 1 haven't been a well man, and now the doctors give me two years at most. I'm going to die, that's certain. I thought you could wait, but -- I've heard something about that!" He shifted his posi- tion slightly, frowning, thinking of Pam's bowed head; it was true that she touched the only soft spot in his heart. "I see how you feel," he went on, "but I'm giving you your revenge. As for myself, I suppose if a man does the square thing in the end, it's something. I've got Fosdick here to take charge of it. He can go ahcad." "II be ruin, Burleson! My God, why didn't you speak then -- or not at all?" Fosdick cried. + % ® Burleson, handing him a paper, looked at him oddly. "They can't send me to the chair?" "They won't; it's second degree," said Fosdick dryly. "It's up to me to get it light for you -- but this "silence -- the other fellow suffer- Ing!" Insane temper, temporary _aberration -- no end of money for alienists; Fosdick saw a hundred lawyer ways of fighting it for months -- he mustn't die in prison! "I'Il make a big fight, but--" he stared at Burleson bleakly -- "man, it's the disgrace -- it'll ruin you alll The country'll ring with it; you're known everywhere." Burleson's grey face twisted; he turned and glanced at Mark. "This young man here would say it was fair and that I had my share," he remarked dryly, 'not that I've escaped -- I've had a liv- ing hell of it for years." , * * Mark said nothing. He turned suddenly and walked to the win- dow, staring out with unseeing eyes. He thought of those fifteen bitter years, of the convict's lot, of his lost youth, and this man safe and sleek in high place. Then he heard TFosdick's voice -- the rasp in it weakened into a husky growl "Two years? Good heavens; you might as® well have waited. Then it would be only a nine days' won- der; no one to be punished. Now -- they'll send you to prison!" There was a silence, then Burle- son's voice. "My wife's dead; the boys, too; that's all there is to it. Of course the others--" "Yes, the others!" barked Fos- dick, staring hard at Mark's back; of course it was a vindication, but this man -- had stood so high. Burleson touched thie paper on his desk. "You'll put it through, Fosdick? I'm tired of it; I'll take jt when it comes. Now--" He turned, too, and glanced at the young man at the wihdow -- 'you can both leave; I've done my share," a % ® Fosdick rose; he was white and his eyes stared, but he took the paper, "It'll mean a trinl," he said harshly; "I'll have to drag you in- to court." Burleson, who had sunk lower in his chair, nodded. "Make it as clear as you can -- if I'm to go to jail--" he laughed discordantly, turning to Mark. "Young man, you're avenged; it's harder for me to go to jail for two years now -- and to dic there -- than it was for you. You've got your life before yon -- I'm done!"

He was tucking the confession into his breast pocket, but the mo- tionless figure in the window rasped on him, 'You'll be needed, too, Grant," he said sharply; "I'll have to ask your pardon for my treatment of you; they'll make everything right in court now -- and you can have it put in the papers." Suddenly Burleson groaned. The hideous publicity of it made him wince. He scemed to hear already the strident calls of the newsboys -- "Extry!" a +» Mark turned. There was a light in his face; he held his head high. "Wait," he said to Fosdick; "one moment! Keep that paper. I've had fifteen years -- 1 can afford to wait two more." Tosdick gazed at him-and Burle- son lifted his head slowly. "You mean--?" gasped Fosdick. "TI 'mean just that!" I'll wait. I can't strike such a blow at them all nor at--" Mark stopped. He did not want to add "a dying man." Burleson rose unsteadily, facing him. "You -- you know I let you suffer? And -- you do this?" Mark nodded, "I'll wait." Burleson sank into his chair, speechless; speechless he hid his face in his hands. Fosdick stood staring, reluctant to be convinced. "Here's .a won- der!" he exclaimed at last. Pam, when she was told, saw it all more clearly. "Of course I understand! I knew you'd be like that," she said proud- ly; "you're great enough to spare an old man who's wronged you! It's awfully grand, and I know it's for me. You can't stop me now, Mark Grant, for I want some of the glory; we'll face those ex-con- vict years together -- yes, we willl" (THE END) TABLE TALKS Dress Up Foods With Tomato Sauce Canned tomatoes, home. or com- mercial varicties, either whole or as juice, can improve many meals, For cooking purposes too they are indispensable and can be used hot or cold, "as is", or combined with other foods, Of all the ways in which they" are used tomato sauce is one of the best.

" As one looks around one sees plenty of evidence why, since time immemorial, poets have written their loveliest poems in praise of spring. Autumn is beautiful too-- perhaps even more so--but there is a peculiar quality that belongs only to spring . . . the miracle or dormamt life awakening to idew birth . . . a definite feeling of hope, of optimism, dispelling those dark, dreary clouds of defeatism that at times assailed us when days were short and gloomy. : * * * 1 was thinking along these lines about our lovely spring when, un expectedly and with tragic sudden- ness, came word of President Roosevelt's death--and for awhile all the beauty around me seemed to vanish. Few men have enriched the world so greatly in life as did the President nor few men whose death has been mourned by so many. And yet, I believe what dis- tresses people nore than his pass- ing is the fact that he was not spared to witness the fulfillment of that victory for which he had striven so untiringly. But no-- "untiringly" is not the right word-- for he must often have been tired to that point of exhaustion, Sacri- By Gwendoline P. Clarke of GINGER FARM - - - - fically would more aptly describe his devotion to duty. The wonder is not that he dicd when he dic but that he lived so long under such a terrific strain, » * * And now because life must. go on even though presidents die, we pay our last respects to a great and loyal leader, and then square our shoulders again and resume once more 'the daily round". On Ginger Farm the daily round right now includes a little job known as seeding. The air is heavy these days with the hum of trac tors--and I think probably ours hums louder than any of the oth ers. Nothing. very modest abou: our old "trac"--when it goes out on a job it likes to let everyone know about _it. * » * And we are also still at the wir ing job--at least the electricians are. Really, we had no idea there would be so many wires. What with furnace pipes, telephone and hydro wires, 'there isn't mucn spare space in the cellar that isn't decorated in some way or another, "I am avondering when the pipes will go if, and when, we put in a hot water system, The men may Tuesday--that is as far as the house is concerned--in fact the job is almost done already. But oh, the irony of itl Here we are with switches and plugs all over the house and yet, no matter how one clicks the switches back and forth, nothing happens. We even have an electric stove in the house, and that, too, is about as useful as a pump without water. * » » Every time I go to town I look hopefully along the road to see if it has been staked out for poles. So far there is no sign of then. But the day will come . . . and when it does--when we are really hooked up, I think, for one nigh? I shall want to turn on every light in the house just to celebrate. In- stead of a house-warming we'll have a house-lighting! And believe me, if all the lights were turned. on at one time there would be plenty of them, for there are over sixty outlets in this rambling old house of ours, People' say "Oh, . what lovely big rooms--how grand to have so much space to live inl" Yes, it's grand all right--we know it when we start in on a job like this. Imagine--five lights in the basement, And we can't do with less--unless we still want 40 wan der around with a flashlight even viter the hydro is in. Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1.
