A feeble voice from the sick bed
made both start.
joint whispered the sick woman.
John! It's YOU. dear John! / knew
you would cone home."
The captor and the captive stood
motionless, thrilled by the pity in the
voice. ID
John. won't you come here and kiss
your old mother?" pleaded the voice.
Il knew that / should live to see you
again"
The middle-aged man whispered into
the ear of the thief.
Her son was killed In an automo-
bile accident last week, Now's your
chance. I'll let you 80 if"
You're coming to me, aren't you.
John?"
Yes" muttered the thief, and With
unsteady footsteps he staggered to-
ward the bed, found it, and sank down
upon a chair. He felt the hand OF
the old woman close upon his.
Are you John2 Are you my boy?
I cannot see. Tell me that you are
John" the old woman whispered.
Yes, am John" the convict whis-
pered back.
She said no more for a while but
seemed to doZe. Gently. by almost
imperceptible degrees, the man In the
room lowered the gas light till 1t was
only a little twinkling flame in the
darkness. And the thief sat notion
less, his hand held tightly in the light
clasp of the dying woman.
After a long time she reused her
self. Johnny" she whispered, turn
me so that I can put my lips to your
ear" And the convict turned the
shrunken old body reverently and
with a new and strange fearlessness.
Then the old woman spoke again. and
so low and weak were hei tones that
he could only grasp them by bending
his ear till her lips touched it.
Johnny" she said Il want you to
be good boy after / am gone
want you to be good for your old
mothers sake, Johnny. There's no.

Come along, 1852" said the head
E3fder cheerfully, clapping an enorm-
DIS hand upon the young mans shout
der. The chief wants to say good
bye to you
The convict stepped out of his cell
and followed the head warder obedi-
entity Three years of discipline had
taught him to ask no questions, to
demand no reasons. He hardly dared
20 hope that the pardon board had
granted his petition.
"Tention! Eyes front! said the
head warder mechanically, and the
convict mechanically obeyed. But the
governor stretched out his hand and
took the convict's In hearty clasp.
The board of pardons has granted
you your freedom, Graves" he said.
I strongly recommended it at the
asst monthly meeting. l know that
you win run straight In future II you
shouldn't, remember that the dishonor
and shame will be mine, and it will
be just so much harder for the rest Of
US. Here's letter from your mother
in Mapleton," he added, handing the
missive 70 the prisoner.
Graves read it and the governor
watched him curiously The young
fellow had impressed him favorably
ever since he had entered the peniten-
tiary three years before to serve a
first sentence for forgery. He had
been a model prisoner; but he seemed
curiously hard. Even now he seemed
unaffected either by the letter or by
his release.
Yes, sir, I'll run straight in future, p"
he answered,
Good" answered the governor.
And my advice to you is, go home to
your mother You have about thirty
seven dollars coming to you. Go
home face the world in your home
town. be man and begin your life
anew You will find people kinder
than you imagine Good morning"
He grasped the prisoners hand
again and dismissed him. Graves
went out Subdued and deferential
though he seemed. he remained total
ly unmovsd
As a matter OF fact, Philip Graves
was deepiy moved, but for all that he
had not Tie least intention OF return
Ing home. He took the train to the
capital and spent his money in two
days Of riotous living.
The second evening found him pen
niless. Ii was cold and dismally wet
and the .eug tramp through the dismal
suburbs had not raised his spirits. He
sat down on the sidewalk and buried
his head in his hands. That was the
first time he had ever seriously sonsid

nothing is considered really correct In

Now that swathed centuries are so
fashionable the Partisan dressmakers
are always inventing new methods of
arranging them. In some cases these
lengths OF supple silk or gauze are
made to mould the hips completely;
sometimes the sash Is arranged around
the waist in Empire fashion, and yet
another variety is the long sash made
OF wide vel ret ribbon which is passed
round aud round the waist and finally
tied in a large bow almost directly in
front
1t continues to be the fashion In
Paris to give a slightly balloon effect
to the figure in front, just below the
waist This is really ugly style but
1t certainly prevails in certain circles.
The sashes. which tied in front, give
this balloon appearance to the figure

Worth has been making some ideal
dance froCks for girls in accordian
pleated gauze mounted over crepe de
chine or supple satin One of these
models had slightly draped skirt
made OF buttercup yellow satin and a
long pleated tunic of oyster white
gauze. This tunic was longer at the
back than in front and there was a
folded sash of mirror velvet in rich
shade of tangerine orange
Transparent corsase,
ne corsage was also pleated and II
was SO transparent that the little un,
derbodice OF yellow satin was plainly
seen. A cluster OF Niphetos roses set
in dark green leaves was worn at the
breast For a young girl this was an
ideal dance frock, very elegant and
uncommon and at the same time per.
fectly simple in outline.

specially clever at creating little
gowns which are eminently youthful

the other prisoners had told him soon
after he was brought to the Jail
Take my tip, lad, cracking a cribs
the only thing worth while. Why, all
you've got to do is to walk in after
the lights are out, take your pick, and
walk out again. But say. don't carry
a gun, for that don't pay. Just trust
to your legs if you have to get away
quick"
Graves felt in his pockets At
the bottom of one, hitherto overlooked
by him, was a dime Graves knew
where he could get all the whisky he
wanted for a dime-if he chose the
time when the bal tender was not
looking his way He went there.
Graves tossed off the fiery liquid,
set down the glass. and went out.
New Years eve! He had not thought
of that. This was the evening for
making good resolutions. The record
ing angel was writing the title at the
head of new page of life. What
record would his page show this time
next year?
He walked the streets until his head
swan from the liquor 1t was very
dark and the rain fell steadily. Graves
was wet to the skin. He walked an
Unreasonable time. until at last, look
ing up, he saw a house.
A flame of anger burned in his
heart, hotter than the fire In his brains
Good resolutions! What were they
for such as he? They were for the
rich, for those eho could afford to
keep the laws! He was no fool to be
bound by such a code.
He crept up the garden, felt lower
window, and found that he could raise
1t. A minute later he was cropping in
side dining room.
Cautiously he struck and lit a
match. Then he gasped in astonish-
ment. For on the buffet, carelessly
laid out, was a galaxy of silver plate.
That central piece-that fiat tray,
which he could put under his coat
and walk away with, must be worth
couple Of hundred dollars alone!
He would take it on his way out He
opened the door and crept upstairs.
There were two rooms at the head
of the first fight The door of one
was closed; the second door was open,
and inside, by the light of the lowered
gas jet, Graves could see a table
strewn with rings He crept in and
stood staring at them. There were
nearly a dozen of them-diamond,
pearl, sapphire, cats eye, flashing
emeralds and rubies. It.was the dress
ing table of some wealthy woman
| who.
There was somebody in the bed!
An old, white-haire6 woman who lay
there, hardly breathing. fiat, with
white hands picking at the bed covers!
Graves snatched up handful OF the
baubles and turned. Suddenly two
powerful arms caught him as in a wise
and he looked up into the face OF the
mIddle-aged man.
Come outside, you-you dogi"
whispered the other Caught in the
act, you dirty sneak-thiefi Let me
look at your face So you would rob
