Stella WINGED, yet chided herself
for II. She knew Miss Hamilton was
only 'In fun" Still, how could this
delicately reared city girl believe such
a big, awkward creature as herself
capable of filling any but a mental po-
sition? The real unkindness for which
Miss Hamilton failed to apologize, the
scant minutes she had left Stella for
her own toilet, went unnoticed; for
Stella was too generous a giver to

unpacked and laid them, a snowy
heap, on the bed.
The toilet went slowly. Stella had
been taught decent respect for the
human body; and her innate love of
beauty and order had blossomed into
an honest personal neatness. But

caressing of eyebrow and lash; such

rouge went on; the examinations at

A gentleman rose at once and Of

to save further confusion. She was
rosy with embarrassment, though no
other hint of II showed in her stately
walk around the long table. And
Sally b. watched delightedly the fol-

Stella was hardly seated when Miss
Hamilton entered, leaning on Alfred's
arm in the dependent style of the

A STRANGE SENTENCE.
Punishment For Murder That Was
More Cruel Than Death.

More Cruel Than Death.
In 1901 Il man died in the Catskils
who had been condemned by one of
the -Stranrest sentences on record.
Ralph sutherland was born in lIuI ana
lived in stone house near Leeds. He
was man of violent temper and mo-
rose disposition. stunned by his neigh
bors and generally dislikcd. Not be-
ing able to get an American servant.
he imported IA Scotchwomau. and, ac-
cording to the usages of the times, vir-
tually held her in bondage until her
passage money had been refunded.
Unable TO endure any longer the
raging temper of her master. the girl
ran away. Immediately upon discov-
ering her absence the man set off in
an angry chase upon his horse and
soon overlook her The poor woman
never reached the house alive. and
Sutherland was indicted and arrested
on the charge of murder.
At the trial he tried to prove that
his horse had taken fright. run away.
pitched him ont of the saddle and
dashed the girl to death upon the
rocks. but the jury did not accept the
defense. and Sutherland was sentenced
to die upon the scaffold
Then came the plea of the INSULT
cheney of circumstantial evidence and
the efforts of influential relatives,
These so worked upon the court that
the judge delayed the sentence ot
death until the prisoner should oe
ninet' mine years Old.
1t was ordered that the culprit
she A be released on his own recog-
niz... ce and that, pending the final ex-
ecution of his sentence, he should keep
a hangman's moose about his neck and
show himself before the judges of
| Catsklll once year to prove that he
wore his badge of infamy and kept
| his crime in mind. 1t was n more
cruel decision than the sentence of i'm
mediate death would have been. but
| it was no doubt in harmony with the
spirit of the times
| Thus Ralph Sutherland lived. He al
ways lived alone. He seldom spoke.
His rough, impcrious manner had
gone. Years followed years. At each
session OF the court the broken man
came before the bar of justice and ST
lently showed the moose that circled
his neck
| At last his ninety-ninth year came
the time when the court had ordered
hat the utmost penalty of the law
should he executed. For the last time
the man tottered before the judges
bench, but new judges had arisen IL
the land, new laws had been made, old
crimes had been forgotten or forgiven
and there was none who would accuse
him or execute sentence. Indeed, the
awful restriction that had bound his
life so intimately to the expiation ol
his crime was now legally removed.
But the spirit of self punishment
continued. and when Sutherland, after
he had passed his hundredth year, wa:
discovered dead. alone In his house, his
throat was found to be encircled by
the rope which had been placed there
nearly three quarters OF century be
fore.

These be melancholy days for the
large mail-order houses, meaning
particularly Seas, Roebuck < Co,
of Chicago. Indicted By the United
States Go yernment, its stock heavily
slumped and its business so reduced
by the loss of public confidence
and the money troubles together,
that the concern feels compelled to
offer more expensive premiums for
orders than have ever been known
before.
In circnlar just issued Sears Roe
buck & Co. offer premiums for orders
amounting to $50, 500, $40, and
$500, which are quite unprecedented
in their apparent expensiveness. for
instance, for $500 worth of orders a
piano is offered.
This permium offer gives some in.
sight into the "Smail profits" of the
mail-order house. Assuredly pro
fit is still being made even with the
premium included; otherwise the
concern would prefer to keep its
goods. The piano given with $500
could scarcely cost less than 800,
and even at that it would be close to
trash. Which means that Sears Roe
buck Il Co., can seemingly lop 20
per cent off its price and presumably
still make profit.
