go in. The Judge was turning Ssover
the sheets of legal document and did
not indicate that he was aware of her
presence. She sat down demurely and
waited. Presently the judge turned
the last sheet and looked up at her:

watch. you're here again, but this

waiting, but there's been a delay. Let

when you left me the last time that
he paused again.
You would send me word when the
warden considered it best for me to
see my boy again"
"The warden? Did say the ward
en-? should have said-but never
mind"
The Judge seemed confused. He put
his spectacles on his desk and when
he tried to find them again failed to
do so. He took up papers only to
throw them down again. Then he
went to the door that led to his ante
room, opened it and said something in
a low voice to an attendant. Going
back to his desk, he took out his watch
again and said incoherent nothings to
the old woman. Then suddenly door
leading to corridor opened and
young man entered. The old woman
looked at him dazed and cried feebly:
"Jimmyw
The youngster went to her and took
her in his arms.
II expected your Jimmy to be here
few minutes before 12," said the Judge,
who meanwhile had found his glasses
and equanimity as we'll, 'but the train
was late and he has been delayed.
I've been working on his case ever
since he went up and few days ago
succeeded in getting the promise of
pardon for him from the governor. 1t
was sent up yesterday"
When mother and son left the judges
Office they had means to last them
month. But before the expiration of
that term Jimmy was hard at work.
And he never got fooled again.

! The ConviCt'S Mother

An old woman sat in the anteroom
of Judge Baxter's private Office wait
ing to be admitted to his presence.
Finally the door opened, and she was
told to go in.
"You see, Judge. I'm here again.
Yes, you are here again"
Il have just come back from visit
ing my boy. He told me to thank you
for your kindness to me-"
II suppose he will be kind to you
himself when he gets out. He gave
you terrible blow when he permitted
himself to fall into bad company and
got into the penitentiary.'
"They fooled the poor boy. Judge;
indeed they did. When they put him
On watch before they robbed the house
they told him they were only going
for watermelon"
The judge made no comment on this
statement.
"Have you son. judge?'
II have. and about your boys age"
do you remember how it was when
he was born-heIpless little thing!-
how your heart warmed to him?'
"Yes. yes. understand what you

save your boy. but the evidence was
against him. and the jury convicted
him. Come in here, say, a month from
today, and I'll give you another chance
to see him. or. rather. I'll confer with
the warden and let you know the
date"
A month dragged by. Her rent was
coming due. and there was no money
with which to pay it. One morning
the old woman received note asking
her to call ut the Judges Office at IL

Then sudden pleasing thought struck
him. He was growing older, and some
unexplained mental or, rather, soul

him to see her growing older with
him.

seemed to have lost some Of its round
ness. The nostril was thinner. There
We're faint whitish pencil streaks on
the hair that might be the effect Of
light on the canvas or beginning Of
white hair. There were lines about
the eyes and on the neck. Two feel
ings within him contended for mas.
tery-a pleasure that he was not leav-
ing her In youth behind him and q
distress that her beauty was fading.
These mingled feelings did not leave
him. He thought the distress that she
should change was unnatural.
From this time he noticed a change
in his feelings toward the picture. 1t
was not the same to him. In vain he
tried to get used to this singular trans
formation in it, which he attributed to
some mystical soul effect. He felt that
it and he were diverging. Instead of
growing old together they were grow
ing old on different lines. Then it be-
gan to be repulsive to him. ...-
He was struggling with desire to
remove it when one morning a girl
Of twenty stumbled into his study.
Her. cheeks were ruddy enough with
out the blush that spread itself from
her forehead to her dimpled chin. A
startled look was in her eye, followed
quickly by an embarrassed smile that
parted her lips, showing her white
teeth. Then, hurriedly withdrawing.
she shut the door.
From this vision of youthful lowell
ness he turned to the picture. It was
a portrait Of one the same age as the
girl who had entered and withdrawn.
Once it had so appeared to him. Now
it was the likeness OF a middle aged
woman. He did not stop to wonder,
as he had often done before, why this
was so. He went out and followed the
receding girl .. N.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Eating between meals is habit
usually left over from childhood.
Little ones need nourishing in
small and frequent doses. Grown
ups merely require to repair the
waste of the body. and the
stomach is comparatively small
organ. Undoubtedly in many
bodies it is kept stretched and in
the same condition of an abused
piece Of rubber. How can it do
it's work?
Before taking cold plunge
pour cold water over the head.
Simply dabbing the hair with it
is not sufficient. After that get
the whole body under water
without delay and keep it under
all the time you are in. 1t is the
evaporation from the surface Of
the skin which lowers the tenn
perature rather than the contact
Of the body with the water. Do
not stay in too long. If you re-
main in until you feel you have
had enough it generally means
that you have had too much.
Then dry yourself rapidly. using
two towels, the first to take of
the greater part Of the moisture.
reserving the second to dry your
self with thoroughly.

the case in statistics from other
countries. In a series of 9,528 deaths
from cancer $500, or 62.9 per cent,

which 1852, or 65.3 per cent, we're

Englishmen are not satisfied with
the way the Germans have been
monopolizing Norwegian hospitality
recently. A British author says: "a
German squadron does not tend to
Increase the beauties Of the Norwe-
gian fiords, nor does German band
bring any charm to one of those
typically beautiful towns among the
fjells. But what is more important
Is the political phase of it. In the
event of war between Germany and
England there is no doubt whatso-
over that Germany intends to utilize
the Norwegian coast as base of at
tack against England and as a place
from which to defend itself and es.
tablish a base Of supplies. 1t there
tore appears in British eyes that a
British squadron should transfer its
summer activities to the Norwegian
coast and King George ought to visit
there every summer with his yacht
and place here and there on some

statue of some Norwegian hero. It
would, of course cost a little money,
but then Emperor William seems to
have been imbued with the idea
that it is cheaper to build bronze
statues in the long run and if that
is all that is necessary King George
ought to do the same thing"
