not bo spoken OF
"Oh. mother. l am sorry to see

Mrs. Arbogast replied And l am
sorry you are here too. Louise"
Silently Embrace Each Other.
And then not a word was spoken for
several minutes as they embraced.
Suddenly turning to Trained Nurse

did you tell me Louise was in the hos

The meetings between mother and
daughter will not be infrequent while
they are confined in the Jail. The only
condition imposed is that they do not
talk OF the murder of Mr.. Arbogast.
That is positively forbidden.
They will not eat together, but their
meals will be served in their rooms.
Most of the time the ordinary Jail fare
will be served them, but occasionally
1t has been the habit of Louise to pur-
chase a meal outside and have it sent
to her. This privilege will also be al
lowed to Mrs. Arbogast and it is ex-
pected she will take advantage OF it.
Hardly Realizes Situation.
She does not in any way seem to
recognize the enormity of the charge
against her. She appears to be in deep
thought all the tine. She talks but
comparatively little and then it ia
mostly about her family
She cannot understand why she is
not permitted to be taken home You
could watch me there" she told the
sheriff. "and l would be SO much more
comfortable"
While the sheriff will not admit that
he fears she might in any way at
tempt to harm herself, it is positively
known that he is taking steps to have
her watched unusually closely, while
she is in his custody in her present
menta! condition.
