Mute and amazed was Alden; and
listened and looked at Priscilla,
Thinking he never had seen her more
fair, more divine in her beauty.
He who but yesterday pleaded so glib

and seeking In vain for an answer
So the maiden went on, and little d.
vined or imagined
What was at work In his heart that
made him so awkward and
speechless.
Let us. then. be what We are, and
speak what we think. and IN all
things
Keep ourselves loyal to truth, ard the
sacred professions of friendship.
It Is no secret l tell you. nor am
ashamed to declare it.:

you. to speak with you always
So I vas hurt at your words, and

Urge me to marry your friend, though
he were the Captain Miles Stand

more to me Is your friendship
Than all the love he could give. were
he twice the hero you think hirz."
Then she extended her hand, and Al
den. who eagerly grasped it
Felt all the wounds in his heart, that
were aching and bleeding so
sorely,
Healed by the touch Of that hand, and
he said. with a voice full Of feel

Yes, we must ever be friends; and

Lo! as they turned to depart, they

The new orders also make Inn
portant changes In the methods OF
working garrison prisoners at mill
tary posts. These changes have been
outlined in the following letter. sent
to the commanders OF the several
departments:
The present system OF working
prisoners under sentineIs CONVEYS a
false impression ~ to the character
Of the prisoners. gives the public
the erroneous idea that the army IL
full Of bad characters requiring for
chile handling. IL injurious to the
self-respect Of the prisoners, dis
courages enlistments, and lowers the
military service In public opinion. In
addition 10 these objections, the sys-
tenn constitutes = heavy drain upon
the command furnishing the neces-
sary guard.
1T Ii deemed advisable and in the
interests OF the service, to adopt a
different method OF handling those
garrison prisoners who are confined
for comparatively short periods OF
time. to the snd that the fswest prac-
ticabls number OF prisoners may be
required to work under guard.
1T II therefore directed that as
far a. ID practicable. ~ may be de-
terrnined by post commanders in ac-
cordance with the above policy, gar
rison prisoners Will be paroled for
work under the general supervision
OF the ohicer or non-commissione
officer IN charge Of prisoners: and
that prisoners whose character of Of
lenses are OF such I nature as to
require that they be kept under
armed guard shall be assigned tasks,
~ far ~ practicable. which will
make the presence In the service OF
this cisss Of men ~ little conspicuous
a. possible.

IMPROVED METHOD
OF PUNISHMENT
ARMY AUTHORITIES WILL PUT
PROBATION SYSTEM IN
FORCE.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The
most modern and advanced ideas
upon penology will be introduced into
the army method of handling gar
rison prisoners, according to orders
just issued by Major General Leon
ard Wood, chief of staff. The new
regulations will not apply to mill
tary convicts, but only to those SEN
fenced to confinement and hard labor
without being discharged from the
service
The purpose behind the new regu-
lations is to give the prisoner every
opportunity TO make good. instead Of
discouraking all effort toward good
behavior. Under the new orders,
garrison prisoners Will be allowed
an abatement of five days Of their
terms OF confinement for each period
of twenty-five days OF good conduct.
when serving sentences OF one month
and not more than three months. On
sentences exceeding three months
they will be allowed the Ave days
abatement for the first month. and
thereafter ten days abatement for
each period Of twenty days good
conduct. Attachments thus authorize
ed may be forfeited wholly or in
part by subsequent misconduct.
