BUT THE OTHERS WENT FREE

The death Of Mrs. Cassie Chadwick
in the Ohio penitentiary recalls that
line in the Chorus Lady But she
paid. she paid she paid, And SO she
did to the very utmost. She paid not
only with her life but with the
wrecks of the lives OF those near and
dear to her who should have been her
first consideration She paid fully
TO the last extremity and some how
when one recalls what she had been
and how miserably She finished one
Is inclined to pity her and to wish
that it has not been SO.
This feeling Of sympathy for the
real convict, rorger and thief as she
was is the more acute when one
looks around him on every hand o.

rest who bought the Chambers street

him to pay them back the difference,
or $650,000 as their commission for

show. %hat it paid 100000 for the
property. MIR. Brady's book show

A NARROW ESCAPE.

She raised her blond head from his
houlder for a moment.
do you believe that exercise and
lotions and toilet preparations will
improve woman's looks?" she asked.
He pressed her blonde curls back
upon his chest
They couldn't improve the looks of
some women" he said
Whose" she asked.
well, yours and Violet Cochrane's,
for instance" he replied thoughtlessly.
Il don't understand you" she said,
raising her head for the second time
and chilling him with a look I'VE are
not at all alike"
Il mean" he replied, turning her
head for the second time and think
ing quickly, that your looks couldn't
be improved because they are perfect
as they are. and that hers couldn't be
improved because no amount of work
could make her pretty"
She sighed great sigh of content
ment and relief, while he drew a deep
breath.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1907-10-29

stepped upon the pier | saw a fine
looking old man in the pavilion over
hanging the water. He wSs dressed
all in white except a sky-hIue tie that
harmonized with the color OF his eyes.
He was neither fat nor lean, and his
smooth skin was protesting ruddily
against the age proclaimed by his
wool-white hair. He rose as / came
toward him, and, while | was still
several yards away, showed unmistak-
ably that he knew who / was and that
he was anything but glad to see me.
"Mr. Forester" / asked.
He grew purple to the line of his
thick white hair. 1T is, Mr.. Black
lock-" said he. 81 have the honor to
wish you good day, sir" And with
that he turned his back on me and
gazed out toward Long Island.
81 have come to ask a favor OF you,
sir" said |, as polite to that hostile
back as if l had been addressing a
cordial face. And l waited.
He wheeled round, looked at me
from head to foot l withstood the
inspection calmly; when it was ended
| noted that in spite of himself he
was somewhat relaxed from the opin-
ion of me he had formed upon what
he had heard and read. But he said
Il do not know you, sir, and ! do not
wish to know you
You have made me painfully aware
of that" replied 1. But have
learned not to take snap judgments
/ too seriously. | never go to a man
unless l have something to say to
him, and | never leave until have
/ said it,"
Il perceive, sir" retorted he, you
I have the thick skin necessary to liv.
ing up to that rule" And the twinkle
in his eyes betrayed the man who de,
lights to exercise a real or imaginary
talent for caustic wit Such men are
like nettles-dangerous only to the
timid touch
