sudden sharp shock and 1t would bS
over. Even for her 1t weuld be better
than the FIVE years of living death.
He pressed the cold muzzle 20 his
forehead. His finger was on the trjg-
ger. He could hear Grace singing sad
ly, with pathetic attempt to be gay
in the kitchen.
Coward"
The warming voice came out Of the
void, like the voice of the angel who
spoke to Abraham on the mountain
top. Perhaps it was only the cry of his
own consciousness, made audible by
his Imagination. But he heard it dis
tinctly. A revulsion of feeling swept
over him.
"Oh, not that. not that, thank God"
he murmured.
He put the weapon back in the draw
er and went out into the kitchen,
where Grace was dressing the Christ
mas turkey.
Five years will soon pass" he said
cheerfully, "and there will be a gen
erous allowance for good conduct 1
will have come sort of bookkeeping to
do, and the life will be bearable, no
doubt Let us meet the future bravely,
dear heart. God will not fail to send
us comfort. And you-you dear, brave
little woman-you will get along some
how. We have friends yet, thank
heaven"
1t was the first time he had ventured
to speak of the life in prison, and she
was comforted to know that he took
so brave view. That night they slept,
and the next day their Christmas din
ner was an occasion of joy to the chill
dren, and the parents, thankful to be
together, simulated a cheerfulness that
| almost deceived one another.
| 1t was late in the afternoon that a
large number of their neighbors came
| trooping in with words Of love and
sympathy and encouragement. They
promised to look after Grace and the
children. and when John got back
| they spoke of it as if he We're going
only on little journey-they declared
that the village would be at the train
with a band to receive him.
You will be convict, but not q
criminal, john said the leading mer-
chant warmly. You can step into the
best job in my store the day after you
get home. I promise you that and call
upon these neighbors to witness it,
John Anstruther rose to reply, but
before he could speak the door was
| opened and a blue coated messenger
| boy appeared with a telegram. An
struther tore it open with shaking fin
| gers.
"The governor has signed your un-
conditional pardon as Christmas gift
| to your wife and babies. He did it as
an act of justice and in response to
| kilograms from hundreds of men
| throughout the state who know you
are an honest man. Congratulations. "
The name signed to the telegram
was that of the secretary of state
| Chicago Tribune.

What Christmas Day
Brought the Convict

TT was late in the afternoon of the
day before Christmas. To the
woman who waited for news and
yet dreaded its coming it was the
closing of the longest. wretchedest,
dreariest day that she had ever known.
She had been advised not to hope, yet
she clung to hope, feeling that If she
gave up entirely she must die. If the
worst came she must live for the sake
Of the children, who were too young
to know of the shadow that clouded
their lives.
Often and often the woman went to
the window and looked out at the
dreary street Once when a boy came
down the walk with the blue uniform
of a telegraph messenger she clutched
at her throat and uttered little moan
of despair.
"Wha's matter, mamma?" asked the
little girl that clung to her skirts. The
woman could not reply until after the
messenger had passed her gate. Then
she. caught the child in her arms and
covered it's face with kisses. Hope
once more revived in her heart.
When she went to the window again
the woman looked out and saw her
husband coming. In the wave of joy
that surged over her she did not no
tice that he looked old and hopeless
and broken and bent and that there

threw open the door and ran down the
graveled walk to the gate.
John, oh, john" she cried, f1inging

free! Heaven be praised for his mer-

"My poor Grace" he murmured,

John Anstruther spoke bitterly, and

She controlled herself with an effort.
John, the children!" she whispered.
'They must not know. Let them have
one more happy Christmas. They have
been praying for you to come home.

| Once during the evening she spoke Of

'It is vain hope, dear" her husband
said. I'VE will not waste ourselves on

silence.

over the home there was Christmas

the role Of Santa Claus. Their mother

the mother was busy in her kitchen
with her preparations for the grand
Christmas dinner Of the morrow-per-

dren would have through all the dark
years to come.
John Anstruther went to his room to
look over his papers, In the drawer
he suddenly found something that
made his heart leap.
1t was revolver. He took the shin
ing, cruel thing in his hands, and a
sort of madness came over him. Here
was his opportunity. Here was escape
from the stripes, the dark cell. the ig-

Christmas Treasures
BY EUGENE FIELD.

I COUNT my treasures DER with care
A little toy that baby knew,
A little sock of faded hue,
little lock of golden hair.
Long years ago this Christmas timo
My little one-my all to me-
Sat robed in white upon my knee
And heard the merry Christmas chime.
'"Tell me, my little golden head,
II Santa Claus should come tonight,
What shall he bring my baby bright,
What treasure for my boy?" I said.
And then he named the little toy
While in his round and truthful eyes
There came look of glad surprise
That spoke his trustful, childish JOY.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1913-12-05

And as he lisped his evening prayer
He asked the boon with baby grace,
And, toddling to the chimney place,
He hung his little stocking there.
That night as lengthening shadows Greg
I saw the white winged angels come
With music to our humble home
And kiss my darling as he slept.
He must have heard that baby prayer.
For in the morn, with glowing face,
He toddlea to the chimney place
And found the little treasure there
They came again one Christmastide,
That angel host so fair and white,
And, singing all the Christmas night,
They lured my darling from my side.
A little sock. little toy,
A little lock of golden hair,
The Christmas music on the air,
A-watching for my baby boy,
But IL again that angel train
And golden head come back for mo
To bear me to eternity
Ny watching will not be In vain.

FAIR GROUNDS
TO BE BUILT
LOCAL COMPANY INCORPORATED
TO BUILD ONE IN THE
CITY LIMITS

A company is now being formed in
this city, which will be Incorporated
under the name of the Southeastern
Oklahoma Fair Association, capitallz-
ed at $12,50O, and which will build
within the city limits of Durant one
of the finest and most up-to-date race
tracks, grandstands and fair grounds
in the entire southwest, and at present
1t is expected that the track and
grounds will be ready for the county
fair, to be held here this coming Sep
tember.
A number of prominent horsemea
and business men of the county are
behind the movement, and we are re-
liably informed that the stock is more
than half subscribed, and that inco >
poration papers have been applied for
The company plans to purchase the
several city blocks of land bounded on
the west by Gale street, the east by
Fifth avenue, the north by Georgia
street and the south by the city limits
This property is very desirable for
this purpose and so situated that the
work of making an excellent half mile
oval race track will not be difficult
There will be mammoth grandstapd
and bleachers, a long row of stables
and necessary sheds, an don the inside
Of the oval track will be built base
ball diamond, a football field and room
for other like outdoor sports.
Those behind the project plan to
have a race meet or two. horse and
stock show, and a county fair each
year, and as a drawing card. to bring
kioutsiders into Durant, this sort OF
thing will be unexcelled. All live
towns have race track, or fair
grounds, and this project will mater
tally increase the live wire reputation
that Durant has even already attained
over the southwest.
Durant has formerly been badly
crippled on its county fair every fall
by reason of having no fair grounds
making 1t necessary to have the diff
ferent departments scattered all over
town.
Good clean and honestly conducted
race meets and horse shows are as
Wholesome entertainment as is to be
found anywhere, and rare indeed is
the race meet that fails to draw the
crowds.

Wings and quills can be very sue
cessfully cleaned by putting them into
a box of cornmeal and shaking gent

The dark stains on the inside of
aluminium vessels can be removed by
boiling solution of water and borax
and letting it stand for some time in
the vessels.
When a cork has been pushed into
a bottle, II can be gotten out by maxi
ing a loop of a strong string and
carefully placing it under the cork,
then pulling steadily.
After filling a rubber water bottle
