Oddities Of Justice.

That the whole theory of penal
codes is practically unsound and op-
posed to the modern conceptions Of
the relation OF the state to crime, is
the contention of Eugene Smith Of the
New York bar, writing in the May
number of Case and Comment, the
lawyers magazine. Illustrating the abb
surdity and disparity between penalty
for crimes in different states, Mr..
Smith says: "The average sentence
for perjury in Florida is ten years, in
Maine one year; for larceny. in Della
ware ten years, in the District Of Co
lumbia ten months; the penalty for ar
son in Pennsylvania is twice that OF
burglary. but in Connecticut the guilt
of burglary is twice that of arson: the
guilt of counterfeiting in Ohio Is twice
that of perjury. but in Rhode Island
the guilt of perjury is twice that OF
counterfeiting.

simple are sometimes faced and at
other times finished with a fange OF
velvet. But the majority Of these hats
use nothing in their composition but
the shape and the trimming, and need
nothing more.
Among the novelties that have been
most successful are those shapes in
which the brim is double. That is the

braid and is simply continuation OF
the upper brim. This gives soft

Big, outstanding clusters Of Paradise
feathers, some times mounted with an
ornament, are often used on these
hats. Paradise in fact divides honors
with ostrich while heron disappears
from the world of millinery.

CHAPTER w.
A Mouse and a Mountain

All the while the foiled elopers
were eloping, the San Francisco
sleeper was filling up. II had been
the receptacle of assorted lots OF hu-
manity tumbling into 1t from all d.
rections. with all sorts of souls, bodies
and destinations.
The porter received each with that
expert eye OF his. His car was his
laboratory. A railroad journey is a
sort of test-tube of character; strange
elements meet under strange condi-
tons and make strange combinations.
The porter could never foresee the
ingredients of any trip, nor their ac-
tions and reactions.
He had no sooner established Mr..

Lathrop OF Chicago. In comparative
repose, than his car was invaded by
woman who flung herself into the
first seat. She was flushed with run
ming. and breathing hard. but she
managed one gasp OF relief:
Thank goodness. I made II IN
time"
The mere sound OF a woman's voice
In the seat back OF him was enough
to disperse Ira Lathrop. With not SO
much as a glance backward to see
what manner OF woman II might be,
he jammed his contract into his pock.

Miss Anne Gattle's modest ard
homely valise had been brought
aboard by leisurely station ushe:,
speaking palm outstretched. She had
her tickets in her hand. but trans.
ferred them to her teeth while she
searched for money IN handbag Ole
fashioned enough to be called ret.-
cule
tance she dropped into it and depart
ed without comment. The porter ad-
vanced on her with a demand for
Tickets, please"
She began to ransack her reticule
with flurrled haste, taking out OF IT a
small purse. opening that, closing 1t,
putting 1t back, taking 1t out, search
ing the reticule through, turning out
a handkerchief, a few hairpins, a few
trunk keys, baggage check, bot
tie of salts, card or two and nu-
merous other maideniy articles, re-
storing them to place, looking in the
purse again, restoring that, closing
the reticule. setting 1t down, shaking
out book she carried, opening her
old valise, going through certain
white things blushingly. closing 1t
again, shaking her skirts. and shaking
her head in bewilderment
She was about to open the reticule
again. when the porter exclaimed:
81 see it! Don't look no mo-. 1
see it,"
When she cast up her eyes in de-
spair, her hatbrim had been elevated
enough to disclose the whereabouts
of the tickets. With a murmured
apology, he removed them from her
teeth and held them under the light
After a time he said:
"As neah as | can make out from
the-the undigested potion of this
ticket, yo' numba is six"
That's it-six!"
That's right up this way"
Let me sit here till | get my
breath" she pleaded. Il ran so hard
to catch the train"

too soon than half a minute too late"
She said II with such a copy-book
primness that the porter set her down
as a school-teacher. II was not bad
guess. She was a missionary. With
a pupil-like shyness ne volunteered:
"Yo' berth is all ready whenever
you wishes to go to bald" He caught
her swift blush and amended IL to

till everybody else has retired"
The porter retired. Miss Cattle
took out a bit OF more or less useful
fancy stitching and set to work like
another Dorcas. Her needle had not
dived in and emerged many times be-
fore she was holding II up as a weap-
on OF defense against sudden hu-
man mountain that threatened to
crush her.
A vague round face, huge and red
as a rising moon, dawred before her
eyes and from 1t came an uncertain
voice:
"Esscuzhe me. mad'm. no 'fensh In
tended"
The words and the breath that car
ried them gave the startled spinster
an instant proof that her vis-a-vis did
not share her prohibition principles
or practices. She regarded the ele-
phant with mouse-like terror, and the
