y ESS slept but little that night.
x The next day Jim would be
brought home 1t was bitter 20
think Of The whole trial ar. ed
itself before her She could not 20
sleep because of the phantom pictures
floating before her eyes.
There was two that came many times.
one after the other The first was a
picture of Gordon and herself present
ing evidence before the governor. That
was bright and hopeful Tt always end
ed with the governor granting jim S
pardon.
But the other picture. That was hid
cous- IT was always there It was the
picture OF Jim's execution. She could
see IL all distinctly.
which WouId if be- that was the
question which haunted her an night
long. The battle was almost foght
Chances were good both ways.
All that could be done now was to- wait
until Jim returned and she was able 10
learn the exact date of his execution.
She thought that IT would be changed
and there was no need Of going to The
goverssr now. when the news of Jim's
escape was vivid i'm his mind
Next day Bess was miserable. She
shrauk into a corner and turned her
face away from the window when sine
saw farmers driving i'm during the
morning and people passing by, all In

What If they should execute him at
OuCe2 There was a possibility of that.
I'm her agitation she called up the law
yer and was assured that there was no
chance OF such "a thing.
A sudden hush fell ON the town. Bess
felt stiHed. A train whistle broke the
stiffness. There was a grinding of
wheels.
Bess realized then that Jim was in.
uvoIuutarIly. she glanced out OF Jhe
window. There were curious heads
poEIng out OF the windows all about.
Bess drew back quickly, threw herself
on the bed and smOtheTed her face i'm
the couuJerpaue.
Jim had been brought home.
An hour later. the girl was herself
again. She began slowly 10 doubt the
evidence that they were to present to
the governor. Would iJ free him2

of George mean? Why should he so off
like that and leave no word2
GordOn's notion about it must be
right. Evidently Tom had urged him
TO leave town until after the execution.
Now that Bess had accused her cousin
60 his face he was probably frightened
and afraid that her brother would let
out something discriminating.
That was the only light in which the
girl could see things. Still. it might be
possible that George had gone away on
his own account, fearing developm ents.
Whatever the solution was. Bess felt
greatly handicapped by the absence of
her brother.

Saws Off Finger to Get Rest.

Jefferson City, NO., Dec. s.
Frank Garrison, a Kansas City negro,
who is serving a twenty-year SEN
tence in the Penitentiary for murder
in the second degree, adopted a nov
Ell and somewhat painful method of
avoiding work.
He held his right hand in front of a
saw until his forefinger was severed.
When asked by the prison officials
why he had deliberately crippled
himself, he said his object was to
avoid work in the saddletree shop.
He had previously pretended to be
sick, but his ruse, was discovered by
the physician and he was sent back
to the shop.
Garrison has served about ten
years Of his sentence. For time he
will escape work, but when his
wounds heal a job in the same shop
will be discovered fof-him.

Quaker Oats

duces a big-boned, well-devel-
oped, mentally energetic race.
His experiments prove that
good oatmeal such as Quaker
Oats not only furnishes the best
food for the human being, but
eating it strengthens and en-
larges the thyroid gland-this
gland is intimately connected
with the nourishing processes
of the body.
In conclusion he says
1t seems probable therefore
that the bulk and brawniness of
the Northerners tmeaning the
Scotch has been in some
measure due to the stimulation
of the thyroid gland by oatmeal
porridge in childhood"
The Scotch eat Quaker Oats
because it is the best of all oat-
meals.
