Mrs. Brennan was shot, and by her
own hand, so the Circumstantial evil
dence at her trial showed, notwith-
standing contradictory story she told
on the witness stand. One thing saved
the woman from the death penalty,
which might have been better for her,
and that was the fact that she was
about to become a mother.
Her counsel had hoped this fact
would save her even from prison life.
but the court regarded her offengs too
seriously.

jail for the penitentiary to begin serv-

the world will make 1t suffer.
Stella Brennan's baby gurgles and
COOS in its waking hours and sleeps
TRANQUILITY most OF the time in the
matron's room. In its innocence and
helplessness It is as lovable as any
baby whose advent into an ideal home
brings naught but joy and happiness to
its parents. and yet glad though Mrs.
Brennan may be in the possession of
this wee bit of humanity. her heart
must for thS/fnost part know bitter
Anguish. particularly when the thought
OF herself in penitentiary surroundings
gives place to musings over the con-
trast between her own happy. sun
lighted childhood and the dreary future
which is offered her baby.
The impression this woman made
on me in her prison surroundings was
far more favorable. perhaps. than the
one she made during her exciting
trial. She seemed sweet and woman
distinctly separated from the other
prisoners In the women's ward at
Saltwater. She appeared as nearly
ideal IN her attitude toward her child
as any woman not highly educated
but warm hearted and innately re-
fined could be.
Mrs. Brennan came into my pres
ence without displaying any SEM
blance of hesitancy or. disinclination
to meet a stranger; on the contrary.
she seemed more than willing to talk
and rather glad of the opportunity
to escape, for short time, from the
monotony of the sewing-room, to
which she had been assigned.
At first glance the scene did not
differ greatly from that at a parlor
thimble-bee except that absolute 81
lence was maintained, and In a mo-
ment one felt the atmosphere of the
prison. The room was sunny and al
most pleasant If one could forget that
bars cover every window and heavy
doors and strong locks place restraint
upon the freedom of these women and
lay depressing influence upon their
thoughts, while guard, carrying a
gun upon his shoulder. PAGES up and
down the prison wall outside
Mrs. Brennan wore the prison uni
form for women-a blue and white
checked calico dress and apron, and
she held bit of sewing IN her hand
and worked at it occasionally as she
talked.

she had spent her entire life upon
farm and had been engaging in
healthful, outdoor exercise from early
dawn to twilight. Her skin was clear,
and had prison regulations allowed
her to do her hair in an elaboratae
fashion she would have been consid-
cred an attractive woman by the cas-
ual observer.
If Mrs. Brennan had been worried
or unhappy during her prison life her
face does not indicate 1t in the least.
There are no little wrinkles or lines
of worry or thinking as might have
been expected, and neither was Its
expression marred by sullenness or
discomfort.
She was absolutely serene. Her eyes
were bright: she smiled easily. There
was not a trace Of mental depression.
Evidently Mrs. Brennan has accepted
prison life TRANQUILITY. She Is buoyed
UP by the hope OF freedom at an early
date; she insists upon her innocence
and believes her friends are working
for her release.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining Of
She Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the inhamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
