MUSIC MAKES BAD MEN GOOD
So Says Columbus (o.) Warden After
His Experience With His
Orchestra.

Columbus, O.-Not a prisoner has
been guilty of an infraction of the
prison dining hall rules since the
e~leven-piece orchestra has been enter,
tanning the men during meal time.
Two weeks ago the warden conceived
the idea of having the prison orchestra
play in the two dining halls. The mu-
sicians play in one hall at noon and
in the other in the evening, but the
two halls are so close together that
the music from one can be heard in
the other.
In this way nearly 1900 ~convicts
have the uplifting influence of music,
Under the old plan, Warden Thomas
said, about half the fights we're start
ed in the dining room. Good music,
the warden thinks, does not necessar-
lily mean classical music, and on each
program there is a goodly sprinkling
Of popular music, including ragtime.
Warden Thomas is considering the
a~dvisability of forming two crack mil
itary companies. If the plan under
way m~aterializes, one company will be
of white prisoners and the other of col
ored. Residing temporarily behind the
bars are former members Of the U, s.
army and the National Guard of other
states who might be used to start the
two companies.

Nothing, nothing, Grace-you are the

"Then you Just mean," Grace said
steadily, "for me to go away for a
little while?"
"Only half an hour; that's all. Only
half an hour, and then come back to
me, and I will explain"
you needn't go at all, on my &C
count" observed Fran, with a twist
Of her mouth. "It's nothing to me
whether you go or stay"
"She has learned a secret" Gregory
stammered, that vitality affects-af-
fects some people-some friends of
mine. l must talk to her about
about that secret, just for a little

at each step seeming to mount that
much the higher into an atmosphere
of righteous remoteness.
No one who separated Gregory from
his secretary could enjoy his tolera-

the banisters as not. I've seen lots of
people like her, and l understand her

lent building, which was begun in 1853
and finished in 1851.
Alexander III. laid the foundation
stone, the first mass being celebrated
by the patriarch Heracllus. The grand
old building has been sorely beset by
many dangers and has witnessed
many strange and stirring scenes.
The reign of terror in 1893 led to
such disgraceful orgies within the pre-
cincts of the cathedral that 1t was
closed to the public as a place of d.
vine worship in 1874, but was reopened
IN 1902 by Napoleon. The interior has
suffered severely at times at the hands
of the mob and individuals. The worst
offender, was perhaps, Louis XIV,

who, carrying out his fathers VOW,
caused the destruction of the four
teenth century stalls, the high altar
embellished with gold and silver stat
u%ettes, the cloisters, tombs and unique
stained glass work. In 1S45 restora-
ton was necessary in many parts Of
the building, the work being success
fully undertaken by Lassus, Violett-le-
Due and Boeswillwald.
In 1871, also, during the commune,
Notre Dame was menaced with grave
dangers owing to the fury of the COM
munists, who, having effected an en-
trance, collected all the available
chairs and other combustible material
and, piling it in a huge bonfire,
drenched with oil, in the center of the
choir, attempted to destroy the cathe-
dral by fire. The evil designs Of the
incendiaries were, however, happily
frustrated by the arrival of the nation

LAMB MADE ALL THE TROUBLE
BY Comparison, the Lion Was lnoffen-
sive and Mild-"Butts Like a
Gathering RAM"

The tidings that a lamb is appearing
on the stage in the production of
Joseph and His Brethren" has been
noised far and wide. Several CORE
spondents have written to ask why a
lion should not also appear, the pair
lying side by side. But that has al
ready been done, by Lord George
Stranger, and thereby hangs a tale.
When the sale Of the old showman's
menagerie took place, the two animals
were put together and bought by Mr..
Fred emmett, of Dick Turpin fame.
By this time the lamb had got pretty
long in the tooth, to say the least Of
1t. A few days afterwards an &C
quaintance asked Mr.. emmett how the
happy pair were getting on.
Il wish l had never seen them"
said the Snowman gloomily.

CHAPTER v.
We Reap What We Sow.

If anything could have p~rejudiced
Hamilton Gregory against Fran's inter-
ests it would have been her sighting
allusion to the one who typified his
most exalted ideals as that woman"
But Fran was to him nothing but an
agent bringing out Of the past a Sc
cret he had preserved for almost TWEEN
ty years. This stranger knew of his
youthful folly, and she must be pre-
vented from communicating it to 9TH
ers.
1t was from no sense Of aroused con-
science that he FASTENED to lead her
to the front room. In this crisis, some
thing other than shuddering recoil
from haunting deeds was imperative;
~unlovely specters must be made to
vanish.
He tried desperately to cover his
dread under a voice Of harshness:
What have you to say to me?"
Fran had lost the insolent compos-
ure which the secretary had inspired.
Now that she was alone with Hamil.
ton Gregory, 1t seemed impossible to
speak. She clasped and unclasped her
hands. She opened her mouth. but
her lips we're dry. The wind had
risen, and as it went moaning past
the window, it seemed to speak of the
yearning of years passing in the night,
dissatisfied. At last came the words,
mufied, frightened-T know all about
it."
"All about what, child?" He had
lost his harshness. His voice was al
most coaxing, as if ~entreating the
mercy of ignorance.
Fran gasped. II know all about it
| know" She was terrified by the
thought that perhaps she would no
be able to tell him. She leaned heav
lily upon a table with hand turned
backward, whitening her finger-tipi
by the weight thrown on them.
About what?" he repeated With thu
caution of one who fears. He coult
not doubt the ~genuineness Of her emo
ton; but he would not accept he,

CHAPTER IN.-continued.

He was sorry for her; at the same
time he was subject to the reaction
of his exhausting labors as song
leader. Then" he said, with tired
resignation, III you'll follow me, I'll
take you where you can spend the
night. and tomorrow, I'll try to find
you work"
Work." She laughed. ooh, thank
you'll" Her accent was that of repu-
diation, Work, indeed!
He drew back in surprise and dis
pleasure.

resumed. What l want is a home. |
don't want to follow you anywhere.
This is where l want to stay"
you cannot stay here" he an
swered with a slight smile at the pre-
sumptuous request, "but I'm willing to
pay for a room at the hotel"
At this moment the door was opened
by the young woman who, some hours
earlier, had responded to Fran's
knocking. Footsteps upon the porch
had told Of Gregory's return.
The lady who was not Mrs. Gregory
was so pleased to see the gentleman
who was Mr.. ~Gregory-they had not
met since the evening meal-that, at
first, she was unawar of the black
shadow; and Mr.. Gregory, in spite of
his perplexity, forgot the shadow also,
so cheered was he by the glimpse of
MS secretary as she stood in the
brightly lighted hall. Such moments
of delighted recognition are ininitesi-
NAL when a third person, however
shadowy, is present; yet had the world
been there, this exchange of chances
must have taken place.
Fran did not understand-her very
wisdom blinded her as with too great
light. She had seen so much Of the
world that, On finding a tree bearing
apples, she at once classified 1t as an
apple tree, To Gregory, Grace Noir
was but a charming and conscientious
.sympathizer in his life-work, the at
mosphere in which he breathed freest.
He had not breathed freely for half a
dozen hours-no wonder he was glad
to see her. To Grace Noir, Hamilton
Gregory Vas but a benefactor to man.
kind, a man Of lofty ideals whom it
was a privilege to aid, and since she
knew that her very eyes gave him
strength, no wonder she was glad to
see him.
Could Fran have read their thoughts
