CHAPTER M.-con,inued

Already there were great crowds in
the street. and as made my way mad.
ly toward the jail. was often i'm.
peded. ! shrieked. screamed at the
people. and waved aloft my precious
paper shouting: Pardon, Pardon
The cry was taken up. and swelled In
great roar that came from a thou
sand friendly throats. As galloped
along on the tinker's horse. through
the crowded streets. an awful unspeak.
able Thing loomed up before me. It
was the gibbet. and 1t was empty,
| felt the hot tears run down my
cheeks at this and some recollection Of
the God that Overton had preached to
me caused me to utter an inarticulate
thanksgiving! But II my tongue fal-
tered. my heart did not.
At last | pushed my way through
shouting crowds to the jail The peo
pie parted. and I saw a black cart
drawn by white horse. and Giles Yer.

by the side Of the hangman. noticed
as did all the tritles of that dread
full time-that the jailer was ashy pale
and Giles was fresh-colored. flung
myself off my horse. rushed toward
the cart. holding the paper above my
head. Oh. the roaring and the shout

hangman. in a second. cut the thongs
that bound the prisoners hands. Giles
took the pardon and kissed It. and then
threw his arms around me and kissed
me. and smiled and waved his hat In
the air. while voices Numbered. men
shouting like demons, and women
screaming and weeping. And the next
thing / knew Daphne appeared, as Il
dropped down from heaven. and
springing into the cart. clasped Giles

NURSES FOR PAMPEREo DOGS
New Occupation for Girls in London
and Il Pays We'll.

With the increasing craze for dogs
OF rare and valuable breeds as pets in
England a new employment for girls
has been created. They can become
dog nurses.
II Is no uncommon thing to see In
the squares and parks pretty girl
In neat uniform with two or three
valuable little dogs on leash. giving
them their daily airing. She is dog
duties.
Besides the exercising OF the pets
the nurse must see to their food
which is no small matter. Special
things are cooked and the dogs must
be carefully watched while they eat to
see that nothing goes wrong Then
the bath Is a serious AFFAIR. Some.
times a silver bathtub is used and
scented water.
The nurse must also look after the
toilet of her charges. When they go
out with their mistress she must see
that they are In proper trim. with
their little coats carefully brushed and
cleansed and their jeweled collars
bright and sparkling.
After they have retired at night her
time is her own. and for the most part
she considers her five dollars a week
very easily earned. for she has her
board and lodging provided as well
as her uniform.
One of the great requisites for the
new profession is that the applicant
shall have an extinct sense of humor.
