Gorley stopped in amazement she walk
ed away and left him.
1t was absurd enough, but it broke
up the affair as effectually as some
thing serious. Not all at once, but by
degrees. Miss Jennifer was out when
Gorley called that evening. The next
time he called she was decidedly cool.
That made him angry, and he decided
to stop calling, which he did. AS the
weeks wore on he heard that Jim
Bentham was calling on the young
woman pretty frequently. But what
could he do? 1t surely was not his
place to apologize.
1t did seem a rather hard tangle
to straighten out.
One day Gorley took his skates
and went to Washington park with
friend. He is good skater and fond
of the exercise and he seemed rather
to need distraction. He didn't count
on finding Miss Jennifer there or he
would have stayed at home-perhaps.
She was there, however, with a crowd
OF her friends, among them the I'M
speakable Jim Bentham.
Gorley was warmly welcomed by the
party, with the exception Of Miss Jen-
infer and Bentham, and he started in
to make himself agreeable. Perhaps,
too he tried to show off his skating a
little. If he did, that was only natural,
for he was q good skater, as has been
said, and he made rather stunning
figure in his black sweater, knee
breeches and crimson skating cap
sximming and circllng here and there.
Miss Jennifer thought SO, and Bentham
suffered for 1t.
Then Gorley said he would show
them how to cut a figure 49," He did it
beautifully and then proceeded to exc
cute some fiourishing initials. He was
Just putting the tail to &C" when-a
cigar stub perhaps or abit of stick
his skates left the Ice and flashed jerk
rim the air. and he came down with q
Jar that must haves tried every bone In
his body. There was howl Of mirth
Of course, but Gorley was up in an In
slant. AS be, regained his feet he heard
Miss Jennifer say to Bentham quite in
dignantly, s'Is think it's absolutely silly
as well as unfeeling to laugh"
A few minutes later she skated up to
Gorley, who had detached himself from
the others +. a9.tae n~
You are hurt r. she said anxiously.
'Oh, no. lied Gorley. aa.s @
but you are. ]" she insisted. "You are
pale as you can be- Come, you must
take off your skates"
Gorley looked at her and then held
out his hand. and they skated to the
bank together. The others may have
wondered, but they didn't care.
The only thing that Miss Jennifer
said as they. went was. I'm forgive
you nov. Chicago Eaws.

A tale Of Russian prison cruelty is
told In Harper's Magazine by DR.. Emile
Joseph Dillon who writes at first hand
OF Monastery Prisons In Russia" In
the Soiovetsk monastery men have
been confined as long as sixty-three
years Some have gone mad; others, re-
leased after years Of confinement In
damp dungeons, have emerged as phys
ical wrecks, unfit Cor living at all. In
former years these dungeons were
-'stone sacks which consisted Of iron
cages Enclosed In stone towers, into
which "heretics's were dropped like
rats and In which they could neither
stand up nor lie down. There they sat
DIN an upright posture until they mlser-
ably persisted. The Soioyetsk prison
was abolished By KuroDatkin ten or
twelve years ago. but the Suzdal mon
astery prison still exists.

GORLEY'S DOWNFALL

Gorley and Miss Jennifer had been
getting along pretty rapidly. Their at
fair began across the lake in the sum-
mer. A mighty pretty girl is Miss Jen-s
infer. Gorley isn't such a bad sort of
fellow either. Nearly every one who.
watched the little romance wished him
luck, and it really seemed that he was
going to have it-all over but the an
nouncement, In fact. Then came the
first snowfall of the season and with
that the destruction Of Gorley's hopes.
Life, you understand, is uncertain,
and so is ones footing on a we'll worn
coal hole cover on the sidewalk when
there is snow on it.
Miss Jennifer found it so. If there is
sufficient warning beforehand and a
girl has enough presence of mind she
may be able to subside easily and in a
decorous heap. Miss Jennifer had no
warning, and panic seized her soul the
instant her heel slipped. Her descent
was anything but graceful. That is the
least that can be said of it and the
most merciful TO add to the horror Of
the thing, she was carrying bundles,
and the one of them that burst con-
tanned articles that were by no means
intended for the public eye. The final
touch was Gorley.
That Gorley's evil genius should have
led him to that particular spot at that
particular time only shows how evil a
genius can be. But there he was, I'M
Questionably. Miss Jennifer saw him
out OF the corner of her eye when she
fell. IL he had been wise he would
have pretended not to see her and pro-
ceeded on his way AS 1t was, he
rushed madly up and assisted her to
her feet. Miss Jennifer says he laugh
ed, but that is highly improbable. His
eye may have twinkled, for he has a
certain levity of character, but it is not
likely that he laughed. If he did it was
out Of pure embarrassment.
Still, he certainly lost his head. FOR
when Miss Jennifer reached for her
bundle he made dash and interrupted
her. Then he began to paw idioticaIly
at her skirts, with the idea Of brushing
on the mud and snow.
Please don't, Mr.. Gorley." said Miss
.Jennifer. AS he persisted. she stamped
her foot Haven't you any sense?,
she cried. 'StopP'
Her face was crimson, and the tone
OF her yoicel A
Goriey became aware then for the
mrst time Of the interested crowd
watching them and desisted.
! III carry my parcels, thank you.''
said Miss Jennifer icily as they pro-
ceeded, and | think prefer to walk
by myselfs she added.
