window near the ceiling, and, while
telling him of the change she proposed
TO make in it. suddenly stepped into

in the door and his wife going down

In few minutes Francois came up
and told his master that Mime. de Ia
Tour desired that her husband should
remain in seclusion for a few days,
and she hoped he would not worry.
He would be given whatever. he wish

the cause of his imprisonment, was
thunderstruck.
Mime. de la Tour, returning to Paris,
sent word in the name of her husband
that in view Of the cardinals order
he would only meet Lieutenant de
Fontayne on the promise of .all con

would name his seconds in order that
the terms might be agreed upon. In
reply 70 this word was sent that De
la Tour, fearing a second might be-
tray him TO the prime minister, would
trust 10 one with bis interests. He
would appear at dawn the next morn

from Paris, ready to fight DE FOn-

LONG IN CONGRESS
Late Senator Frye of Maine
Belonged to a Famous
Coterie.
SUCCESSOR A DEMOCRAT
For First Time in History State Will
Have Two Democratic Senators
Three Vacancies.

Jesse n. Pomeroy. known for al
most four decades as the boy muir
derer' and held by an earlier genera
ton to be the most desperate criminal
abnormality Of the age, is soon to
leave his cell for greater freedom in
the state prison at Charlestown. Mass,
after having spent thirty-seven years
In solitary confinement.
Governor Foss, impressed by evil
dences submitted TO him from many
sources of the great change in Pome-
roy's character. has decided to allow
the life convict to enjoy many of the
liberties granted well behaved pris-
oners.
Governor Foss will never grant
Pomeroy a full pardon. and it is gen
orally believed no other governor ever
will take such action. but to give the
man who has inspired dread in the
hearts OF even his keepers ever since
the day when as a fOurteen-year-old
boy he was thrust into punishment"
cell in the Cbarlestown prison any por-
ton of the freedom enjoyed by tracta-
bic convicts is considered evidence Of
a transformation in the criminals
makeup.
Governor Foss' determination to do
what many Of his predecessors have
refused to do in the face of prayerful
petitions signed by women in all parts
of the country IS set forth IN a letter
he has sent to John Ernest Warren,
librarian of the American Dramatists'
club OF New York Warren, who was
a playmate OF Pomeroy. recently made
an eloquent plea in behalf of his life
long friend, and Governor FOss in his
reply made known that Warren's pre-
sentiment Of the facts had much to do
with his reaching his decision.
But Pomeroy's greatest champion has
been his mother, now a sad faced,
white haired woman nearing her seven
tieth year. Although denied even the
right to see her son and having TO
accept the truth of the fact that he
was regarded all over the civilized
world as the most atroCious example
OF a wanton murderer, his mother new
err faltered in her faith in his innate
goodness nor forsook for a moment her
plan 10 gain for him his freedom. At
each holiday season, on Thanksgiving
and Christmas, as well as on his own
birthday, she has gone to the prison
with a big basket Of good things to
eat. and It Is she also who has kept
him supplied with current magazines
and books.
Pomeroy killed two children, boy
and a girl. after treating them with
barbaric cruelty. He inveiglcd other
children into isolated sections, stripped
them Of their clothing, tied them to
trees or upon boards and then beat
them until they We're unconscious. He
delighted in sticking pins into their
unconscious forms and cut them deep
~ with a knife When this juvenile
monster. then fourteen years old. was
finally run down and captured he bare
ly escaped lynching. His youth alone
saved him from the death penalty.

Gently signed by Governor Dix will be

adjoining states where the tramps

law contains some good features. II
you can catch the tramp before he
gets away and then make him work,
the scheme ought to be a successful

The New York Tribune is optimistic
about the scheme. which, IL says, has
worked we'll in foreign countries. The

ton when it says:
Perhaps the ennobling influences

tees of the back to the farm move

Cardinal Richelieu while prime min
lister was virtually king of France.
During his administration dueling be-
came so common among the higher
classes, especially the officers of the
army, that il was evident If the prac-
tice were not checked these two classes
would become depleted. The cardinal
issued an order against such lighting,
but it was not obeyed In order to
show that he was in earnest in the
matter he made an example of the
Count de Bouteville. a member OF the
exalted house of Montmorenci, who
had disobeyed the edict. The count
was beheaded. This had a wholesome
effect. but not sufficient to eradicate
the evil.
There was at this time a young lieu
tenant in the army. Jean de la Tour,
married to won. lovely young wOm-
an of twenty-fOur. who had borne him
two children. Jean was a poor swords
man, and his wife realized that If com
PEELED to fight according to the code
she would probably lose him. She
urged him TO practice. and when he
had no one TO fence with she offered
to be his opponent.
Jean was much pleased at the idea
and hts wife at once procured a suita.
bic costume She was about the same
height and weight as her husband. and
ii was apparent from the first that she
would make very suitable adversary
for practice purposes. While De la
Tour was naturally sluggish In his
movements, madame was remarkably
quick. He started IN as her instructor.
but II was not long before he was
wOrsted by bis pupil.
Bst WON knew very well that she
was not capable OF bringing him up
TO standard that would make him a
match for accomplished swordsmen,
Unknown to her husband, she took les
sons OF the most skiIlful fencing mas
ter in Paris, pledging him to keep the
matter a secret He had good rea-
son to observe his pledge. for his pupil
soon became more proficient in his art
than himself.
The inevitable was not long in COM
ing Jean de la Tour one day. during
drill, stepped in a puddle of water and
despatched a comrades newly polish
ed boots. won was in her chamber.
engaged with her maternal duties.
when an officer called and asked for
her husband She told her caller that
Jean was not at home. and the officer
left with her a challenge for him from
Lieutenant Jacques de FOntayne TO
mortal combat for having despatched
his boots. Madame promised to deliver
the message. and the officer withdrew.
When De la Tour returned to his
quarters his wife asked him to drive
with her 10 their country place near
Paris 20 assist her in laying out some
changes she wished to make Jean
consented. and the two drove to :
house and grounds near St Cloud

future
He has been truly kind and good

bier days.
He has been true 20 the ties OF fam
lily and friendship.
He has been true to the church and
he has been true to himself.

he has fulfilled the law and has :
