When she came on the last day
the keepers that were there then
looked at her little. bent figure and
suddenly looked at each other and

had the frame of an OK and the mind
Of bad child. But the vigil that his
homely, lowly mother kept outside the
prison walls isn't forgotten, nor how
she came to the village of Ossinlng
and sold newspapers, chewing gum
and shoelaces so that she might pay
for bed and food there in the last
week of his life. Twice she was per
mitted to. see him. A screen fixed
three feet away from his cell door
barred her from more than touching
the tips of his shaking fingers each
time they met. She said nothing to
him directly. She simply looked at
him with straining eyes while she
kissed the cross of her rosary. But
on the last night of his life she didn't

haunted the road directly outside the
prison walls. Somehow she had

she saw it she fell on her knees in the

they are in that section. somewhat re-
moved from more civilized influences, and
also shows that the old days when dis

on the wane as almost to be gone. When
a cattle thief is actually turned over to
the legal authorities by his victim and
