CHAPTER xxxIm.-continued.

On March IA, when there was not
spark of hope in Jerry's breast that
he would get to Los Angeles In time
for his instructions, member OF the
committee on investigating public in
situations. fussy old. man who was a
leader in a reform" movement, paid
an unannounced visit to the station
and was appalled, at the dirty. un.
sanitary conditions OF the place. He
ordered an, Immediate cleaning up,
and threatened TO report the officer
in charge to the police trial board for
neglect OF duty The next morning
the three prisoners were at work
scrubbing the stone floor OF the cor
ridor.. ia. i, 80 sf- .gl De, b
Old Finnerty had taken something
of a fancy to Jerry, and gave him the
least disasreeabie work TO do. Jerry
performed so well, and seemed to show
such personal interest in the guard S
welfare, that the old man was greatly
pleased. That night Finnerty actually
thanked him. after he had given him
fine apple and a glassful of real
milk. The ranking officer also was
pleased with Jerry's work.
I'm glad you're satisfied" said
Jerry to the ranking officer. land II
you want to do something for me you
can make me feel like a new man. Cut
these whiskers OF and give me a
shave. They make me feel like a pat
ent-medicine man"
The officer complied with the re-
quest, and when Jerry lay down that
night he felt almost as young as he
used to be.
The following morning he was put
to work clearing up the rubbish and
refuse in the little courtway back OF
the station. Finnerty piled up boxes
while Jerry shoveled the refuse into
heaps near the gate OF the picket
topped high board fence. The guard
had implicit faith In him, and FIRE
quently went into the station, leaving
him alone in the courtyard. While
Jerry was shoveling out the contents
of big dry goods box he came across
an old SLOUGH hat. The instant his
eyes fell on Il the thought OF escape
flashed across his mind. Finnerty's
back was turned at the moment, ant
before he faced about Jerry hac
thrown the hat over the fence into the
alley.
His first impulse was to steal up be
hind the guard and beat him into In
sensibiiity. but his liking for the OLD
man, more than anything. stayed thu
violent hand. He respected Finnerty'i
white hair. but the thought OF wha
might fall TO the guards lot II he Ell
fected his escape was quickly brushe'
aside.
"Finnerty," said Jerry after time
sitting down and pressing a hand q
his stomach and screwing up hi
mouth, get me something for IN
cramps, will you? I've got 'em bad
sure, kid" said the guard. and IN
next moment he was In the station.
Jerry scrambled over the renee
tearing his trousers on the shari
pointed pickets. and dropped into IN
alley. Picking up the hat. he ran a
fast as he could to the street. wher

THE ELECTION RESULTS.
Slaves of the Past.

(kanSaS City JOurnal}
No more sensible or truly patriotic
sentiments have been expressed con-
corning the result of the election than
those of Clark Howell. editor of the
Atlanta Constitution. In contrast with
those of Colonel Henry Watterson,
from whom something more lofty in
the line of intellectual politics might
have been expected, they are states
man-like and soberly impressive.
Mr.. Howell's comment on the in
creased Republican vote in the South
is that it is a declaration of final in
dependence on the part of those who
refuse longer to buy social position
with their political conscience. Per-
haps the very fact that great many
thousands of Southern voters have
been kept out of the Republican party
by the threat, implied or open. of So
cial ostracism has been lost sight of
i'll the general surprise that the South
should for SO long have remained deaf
to the call of progress. voting on.
decade after decade. in a blind ad
herence to the phantom issues of a
dead past
Certainly the time when it is more
and more "respectable" to vote the
Republican ticket in the South is an
suspicious era for that part of the
country. Nothing whatever has been
gained by this bondage to the past.
The South's emancipation ushers in
the beginning Of a period when there
shall in truth be no division into sec
tions. When the South ceases to he

forms or the march of events, some
thing of the dream of Henry W. Grady
and the other prophets of the New
South will begin to be realized. Then
indeed will there be but one country.
and of it the part lying south of
Mason and Dixons line will enter upon
an unexampled period of progress and
prosperity which mnst inevitably fol-
low this opening of the doors to let in
fraternity and let out sectionalism
The emancipation of the South is sec

the solidarity of the nation, to the
manumission of the slaves forty-five
years ago.

The Business Recovery.

There is no question that the election
of Taft brings confidence and courage
to every business and industrial center
in the country. The most rabid and
blind himself to this fact. From every
section of the country come reports OF
orders for goods contingent upon the
election of Taft, of idle factories re-
suming. of half compliments being
lifted to full compliments. The jour-
nal called American Industries, the or
gan Of the National Association OF
Manufacturers tells of a canvass
among the members of that organiza-
ton which shows that by Jan. 1, in the
-. 0OG industrial plants of the country
employing 100 men or more, 100000 more
employees will be busy than on Nov. I.
The railroads, after holding off for a
year and not buying a spike unless alb

a statement attributed to vice Presi-
dent Brown of the New York Central
for two hundred and forty million
dollars worth. Allowing for the in
evitable exaggeration, and assuming
that many hopes will not be realized,
it is nevertheless, clear that a funda-
mental change has come. The business
men of the country have been waiting
for a sign. and at last one has come
to them with which they are satisfied
The unemployment this time is not
merely by proclamation-is not of the
bcotstrap lifting kind. 1t represents
scattered and spontaneous individual
action-each reviving concern acting
selfshly. and with no barren rretense
of altruism.
Confidence is restored That is the
vital fact of the business situation.
The country suffered when confidence
was lost as a result of the financial
panic of a year ago, and it will pros

confidence 1t is true that the panic
was largely lin the mind" but the re-
turning good times are something

A great deal of public interest has
been aroused in New York State over
the selection of United States SEN

interest in this event is the greater be-
cause the election is now only two

the distinguished character OF the
men whose names have been men,

honor. Among them are Theodore
Roosevelt. Elihu Root. Whitelaw Reid

LOGICAL ECZEMA CURE
ENDORSED BY PHYSICIANS

After treating eczema for years as a
practically incurable blood disease, the
medical world is greatly Interested in
the discovery that it is not blood dis
case at alt, but is due to a parasite in
the skin itself. This parasite is easily
destroyed by the external application
of q compound of oil of wintergreen,
thynioI. glycerine, etc. which will
quickly kill all eczema germs. while
soothing and refreshing the skin.
r. A. FcllIhcrts of Duluth, Mimi,
tells Of the succe IS with ID. d. D. Pre-
scription in treating patients:
"There was q man here suffering
from Eczema for the last fourteen
years, and | applied the D. d. D. treat
ment. | also applied it to a man of
West Duluth. MINI. who has been
suffering With rheumatism for four
teen years. and Eczema in his feet and
the second treatment in both cases
cleared the skin almost absolutely. ]
hope that everyone in the world will
be able to learn of your grand remedy.
Tie first application is only a balm,
and its soothing effect is beyond eX-
preston. / shall never be without it,
and shall use it among my patients al
tOgether'
No matter how terribly YOU suffer
from eczema. salt rheunl, ringworm
etc. YOU Will feel instantly socthed

few drops of this oil of wintergreei
compound is applied. The cures all
