turkeys and chickens from their

JAPAN,s LUXURIOUS PRISON.

Tit-Bits-The most luxurious prison
in the world is in 5apan, about If
teen miles from Tokyo. In the midst
Of gardens where flourish medlars and
cherry trees, where are seen orna-
mental ponds with water lies, arises
the palatial prison.
The cells are spacious and airy.
The lighting throughout is By cleo
tricity, and the apartments are fur
nished iuxuriously. Bathrooms with
marble baths, hot and cold water
being laid on; dressing rooms and
reading Fooms-nothing seems 20 be
wanting TO make the sojourn N this
prison pleasant.
In fact. It seems an ideal country
Eesideree, scarcely calculated to re-
duee crime.

But why should she?" says Hal,
puzzled and curious. Il did nothing
to be ashamed of that afternoon. l
didn't pitch her horses down, did 1?
Well, don't care; let it be as you

says.
Let one of the household servants

treat for them to do something" and
he laughs.
Jeanne hesitat@s a moment, and
comes back, and as Vane slowly de.
sends, change comes over her
face; it grows set and cold, with a
reserve SO marked that even Hal no
tees it, Vane has not seen them
yet. and Hal. watching him, sees that
he, too, is changed.

added, as the horses hoofs clatterei
over wooden pavement, "and see,
fere is the portcullis. They used 70
pour boiling lead down these holes
on the heads Of the beseigers. The
old castle has stood many siege.
AS he spoke, they entered the court
yard, which seemed to Jeanne to be
filed with servants, mostly Germans,
but all wearing a foreign version OF
the Ferndale livery. At the moment
of the carriage pulling up at the en-
trance to what used to be the state
apartment, a bugle sounded melo-
diously, and flag, emblazoned with
the Ferndale coat-of-arms, ran up the
flagstaff and 1oated to the breeze.
The next moment the carriage steps
were let down, and Jeanne sprang out
into the arms OF a tall young gentle
man who was there to receive her.
Once more the old light flashed in
her eyes. and the old clear, Joyous
tones rang in her voice.
"Hal! Is it really you? Why, how
you have grown, you wicked boy!"
Now, if there is anything a young
man dislikes, n is being told that he
has grown; next 70 limiting that his
mustache Is improving, it is the
greatest insult you can deal him.
Hal looks around. devoutly hoping
that the English servants have not
heard the unwise exclamation; but he
cannot feel offended, not even when
Jeanne puts her arm around his neck
and kisses him. Indeed, he draws
her to him and kisses her in return,
and If his eyes are not moist, it Is pc.
cause he is not given to weeping.
But somebody else is more sensi-

translucent.
Jeanne, here's Bell" says Hal; and
Jeanne. who is evidently blind 10

and holds out her hand with a smile
How do you do, Mr.. Bell? am
so glad to see you--it is like old
times. How well you look"
She may well say that, for Bell Is
blushing up TO his ears, and he can
find no words to respond to the kind
greeting.
And how well you look" she adds,
looking at Hal as they go up the old,
stone-paved hall; as brown as an
Indian, and-but what's that on your
forehead?"
"Where?' says Hal, though he
knows where well enough.
