She had pinned the lace in the

oddly shaped, oldfashioned
topaz brooch that had been her
grandmother s, and a wistful
smile lowered around her mouth,
for she used to have to beg to
wear it in the old days when

comment, as she flung a white
crepe shawl around her head
and shoulders, burnoose fash

and gloves, ran down the dingy
boarding house stairs to the car
riage that awaited her.
She had not dared to count
up the precious money spent on
that carriage and the gown, with
its dainty equipments-to what
end? What right had a hard
working, solitary business wom-
an with such things? What
place could there be for her in
society? With Emma De Lacy s
invitation to the New Year S
reception had come sudden
and uncomfortable longing for
a little luxury; a luxury that
embraced not only the soft raj

rich, but the sight of old
friends-the luxury of a little

RHEUMATISM PRESCRIPTION

The increased use OF "Toris" for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. It is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre-
dients and taken properly. The fol-
lowing formula is effective: ITO one
half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce Of Toris Compound and one
ounce of Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring"

Jacket.

the healthy brother, who was learning
to manufacture boots in the priscn
workshop.
The elder Gilfillan had deep puols
of sentiment beneath a rough ex-
terror. Furthermore, he took no heed
of consequence. He pictured the sick
brother waiting tobaccoless in the
dreary hospital, and he took chance
10 supply him. The chance was a
risky one. While passing the barred
hospital yard he dexterously jerked
a small cube of tobacco to the white
faced brother, who happened to be
walking up and down inside, and he
breathed a tremendous sigh of relief
when he became certain that the
warder in charge Of the squad had not
noticed the action. The elder Gilfillan
was not afraid of any punishment that
might fall upon himself; he was afarid
lest the morsel of tobacco would be
taken away from the sick youth who
craved the delicacy.
But Nemesis was galloping on the
heels of the two Gilfillans. Warder
Bulstrode, looking down from his
perch ON the south tower, saw the
movement, and Bulstrode was con.
scientious officer. Five minutes after
the younger brother was stripped OF
the miserable gift, and the giver was
dragged before the chief warder and
sentenced to seven days dark cell for
a breach Of prison discipline. In jail
charity is a virtue that is promptly
smothered when the powers that be
become aware of its existence
1t was the elder Gilfillan's first intro
duction to the dark cell. When he
was pushed into the windowless cham
ber, the horrible, intense, suffocatine
darkness closed in upon him like 9
smothering pail. Blind and stupefied
he CROPPED his way around the bare
walls. the horror piercing him through
and through like an Icy sword. After
wards he flung himself on the stone
floor and lay like man stunned by Q
terrific blow.
Some hours later he thought of the
button. A medical student, who hac
once undergone term of imprison
ment at Enlota, had promulgated 8

Somebody has defined crime as "the
momentary victory of an hereditary
craving over common sense" In the
case of the two Gilfillans, the same
craving manifested itself in each man
at the same moment. This was pc
culiar. The desire came upon each OF
the brothers to possess two blood
horses belonging to a neighbor, and
common sense was routed in the
struggle to suppress the craving.
The Gilfllans got the horses, and,
incidentally, the sheriff got the Gill
fillans. A stern judge conducted the
judicial inquiry, and, unable to see
that the brothers were victims Of a
craving, handed down from horse
loving ancestor, he sent them to En-
lota penitentiary for seven years.
This was unfortunate. The younger
Gilhllan was consumptive, and En-
Iota's Little He'll" was not an ideal
health resort. Three months after
sentence the boy was sent to the Jail
hospital, and became firmly imbued
with the feeling that he would not re-
cover his health. The sentence had
smashed up the last ounce of vitality
that was holding the fort against the
disease, and the prisoner was sinking
rapidly.
Now, prisoners in Jail hospital re
ceive no tobacco. Whether the prison
medico believes that the brand sup
piled to the numbered inmates is a
compound that can only be safely con
sumed by the physically strong is not
known, but the weekly supply allowed
to a prisoner on the works" is i'm
mediately cut off If he is taken to the
hospital. The dearth of tobacco af
fected the consumptive Gilfillan. He
craved chew" and in distress he
acquainted the brother of his craving
by what is in Jail parlance known as
a stiff" With a pin the sick mar
scratched his wants on the loose lea
of a hymn book, and in due time the
pitiful note, after passing through the
hands OF dozen prisoners, reached
