again. She had no gun, but he did not
know that. Molly's next move was to
pass like a flash to her brothers cell
and let him out, telling him to stand
guard while she got help. The strange
part of the story is that he did just
what she told him. Through her wit,
courage and loyalty the whole flock of
jailbirds was prevented from escaping.
After that it was only natural when a
vacancy in the jailership occurred that
Molly Grady should be invited to fill it.
Talladega county ought to be very
proud of it's Molly Grady. :.
Not often prisoners test the mettle
ter. Once a big, ugly negro, with q
face SCARED by razor slashes, was i'm
prisoned. She gave him an order one
day He gave her back talk and re-
fused to obey. Instantly she unlocked
the cell door and was on him like a
lion She gave him thrashing that
he will remember as long as he remem-
bers anything earthly. From that day
to this there is awe in his eye even
when he looks at her, as though she
were being superhuman. She has a
wonderful. compelling gray brown eye,
with an eaglelike glance, as of one fear
ing nothing that lives.
She told the interviewer she applied
the water cure" to obstreperous pris-
oners, modified water cure of her
own devising. She says: 81 just yank
the sassy rascals out into the far end
of the aisle and turn the hose on them.
1T does them good, soul and body"
And, after all, Molly Grady is hui
man and woman. Her soul is as ten
der as it is large and fearless. She
does all the cooking for the prisoners,
and when they are ailing she pulls out
her own purse and buys them delica-
cies that they need. Once she ran into
a burning house and brought out tiny
baby when its own mother did not dare
10 after it. '.Think of the little dar-
ling burning to deathy' she said.
Glorious Molly Grady!

pretty story of a woodchuck. In the
spring of 1875 he was exploring the
peaks and glaciers about the head of
the middle fork of the San Joaquin and
when passing round a frozen lake
where the snow was ten feet deep was
surprised to find the fresh track of a
woodchuck.
What could the animal be thinking
Of i. to come out SO early while all the
ground was snow buried? The steady
direction of his track showed he had
definite aim, and fortunately it was
toward a mountain 1900 feet high
that meant to climb. So I followed
up to.
From the base of the mountain the
track pointed straight up, and l knew
by the melting snow that I was not far
behind him. I lost the track on a
crumbling ridge, partly projecting
through the snow, but soon discovered
it again.
Toward the summit of the mountain,
in an open spot on the south side, near

among which the sun heat reverberat-

The viking matter being settled for

States today, twentieth century, to
show a woman who is keeper and
guard of county. pail-a Jail, too,

prisoned. That woman is Mary Grady,

Mary Grady is G feet inches tall and

she is the reincarnation of that same
tremendous viking lady who was buried

Mary Grady is brave, powerful and
real enough to be anything that mortal
can be, past, present or future.
In Talladega county the heroine is
called "Molly Grady" A correspondent
of the Sunny South prints an inter-
view with her that ought to be read
aloud at city women's club meetings.
The story would be so refreshing.
The interviewer found that Molly
Grady had had charge of Talladega
Jail six years, and no prisoner escaped
during her term. She is deeply in
earnest" and that accounts for much
of her greatness. The way she got her
regular appointment was through frus-
trating an attempted Jail delivery.
That is so good story it must be told
by itself. Molly's brother, wrongfully
ACCUSED, it turned out, was prisoner
in Talladega jail. Molly went repeat
edly to see him. Once the man who
was jailer at the time had to go to
the village on an errand while Molly
was at the prison. She could not get
to her hill home because of a storm
that was raging. 1t was after dark
that the jailer started to the village.
Molly had told him she would keep
guard during his absence. The faith
he had in her is evident, for he left her
with the keys. At any moment she
might have opened her brothers cell
and let him walk out.
Molly stood guard in the night at the
entrance to the prison. She heard a
grating sound and a crash at the rear
of the building. She sprang around
there and saw man just about to de-
scend to the ground from window.

An Article Balxac Didn't WRITE


Balzac was once asked by French
publisher to write an article on the
Rue Richelieu. He named his terms,
which today would not seem excessive,
but the publisher considered them out
rageous, whereupon Balzac replied: 'If
l am to describe the Rue Richelieu in
a way worthy of the street and of nv
self, 1 must know it thoroughly AMI
must not upon any account fail to in
vestigate all that specially character
izes it. l shall have to commence by
lunching at the Cafe Cardinal; then l
must buy a gun and a cravat pin at the
two shops next door to each other.
After that must go to the tailor's at
the corner of the Rue st. Marc "Oh,
don't go any farther than that" inter-
rupted the publisher in alarm. "You
would come to the Indian shop next,
and things there are fabulous price!'

that some breakfast be sent in to him.

Harrington had gone up spasmodical-
ly from small parts to leads. While he
was playing in stock on the way up he
had written play. OF course the play
was never produced. And about that
time Harrington began to come down.
His coming down had not been spas
modic. 1t had been certain and sure
as fate. He seemed, however, able to
hold position as stage door keeper.
He could be scared into coming around
on time for successive weeks by the
threat that he would be assigned to the
billposter's forces.
And he was only thirty-five. Some
times when he became very bad he
would muir Bile something about "Elea-
nor" But niumblings about Eleanor"
didn't excuse his condition to Buscoe,
who believed that there was no reason
on earth good enough to keep man
away from the theater later than 7:3O
and no trouble great enough to need an
extended stay along bar rail to drown
it.
So Harrington, with all his bril-
hancy, all his artistic training and his
wonderful mind that could absorb thir-
ty sides in night, got finally to be
back door keeper. 1t was only because
he never attempted to excuse his con-
duct that Buscoe kept him at all. He
was merely penitent after one of his
periodical attacks.
And Harrington was the back door
keeper when the company moved into
New York for run. He stood, book in
hand, checking the company as it ar
rived for rehearsal a day before the
opening. Harrington got the note, with
a doctors certificate inclosed, telling
that Temple, the leading man, had
brain fever. He turned pale as he read
it. He was that kind of a back door
keeper.
Buscoe didn't turn pale, but every
one who heard what he said minute
later did.
"Send boy to the manager" he Or
dered. "Tell him Temple can't possibly
go on tomorrow night. Tell him that
unless he wants me to use bad under

wistfully at Buscoe.
"You could, you know" said Bus
coe kindly, 'but it's too important.
They've been banking on this New
York opening A set of good notices
will carry them the rest of the sea-
son, and I'd rather postpone than take
any chances"
Harrington went mechanically back
to the door. Buscoe held the company
until he heard from headnuartfrss
Use the understudy," said the note.
"Can't possibly postpone.

The hotel people wondered next
"42' during the night. Two men had
left at 7:3O in the morning with bar
bill of So for black coffee. 1t had gone
mp regularly every thirty minutes
/ since 4 o'clock. Around on the walls
were pinned strips of paper with mean
ipgless sentences written upon them
They took them down and read them
curiously. They seemed to be pas
sages chosen broadcast from a book.
They would have understood if they
had known that the process of cram

uscript into the brain Of man means
that the brain must be stimulated with
something and that strong coffee is
the only harmless thing that will do it.
They didn't know that mans brain
sometimes refuses to memorize past a
certain amount, but that 1t will receive
impressions of things seen. That was
why some of the speeches Harring-
ton couldn't get, although they were
repeated to him endlessly, were writ
ten on strips of paper, pinned on the
walls and stared at him through the
night until they sank into his mind.
Buscoe had been cruelty insistent,
but his methods had won out. Har-
rington, haggard and brain weary,
went through the s o'clock rehearsal
with but few bitches. Then Buscoe
ran them through again and dismissed
them at 1890 with orders to report at
for a dress rehearsal. He dragged
Harrington back to the hotel and again
sent him over the part, this time with
the business included.
He went on that night almost crazed
Forty-eight hours without sleep and
not much nourishment but black cof-
fee did it, but in his brain were the
thirty sides.
He played the three acts without a
break, and he played them as Har-
rington could when he wanted to. But.
his big scene didn't come until the.
fourth. 1t was strongly written and
intensely emotional. 1t depicted final
parting from the woman he loved, in.
set lighted by blue borders, with the
foots low. The exit of the leading
woman was the cue for the first
speech.
Buscoe, all attention, stood in the
side entrance as Harrington began. He
was playing it low, but f1ercely, acting
it beautifully. He had the audience
breathless. Suddenly Buscoe felt for
the curtain signal.
'Heavensv' he said under his BREATH,

Out in the weird light of the blue
borders Harrington raved on. Not a
line he spoke had even been In the
