Hello, Sadie!' came the genial salu-

shook hands with her warmly. I'm
home again. Where's dad?'
Even as he asked the question the
quick SOLDERING of his face bore wit
ness to his disappointment over not
finding his father in the office. And
in the patent chagrin under which the
son now labored was to be found GER
tain indication OF character not TO be
diSregarded Unlike many a child, he
really loved lis father. The death Of
the mother years before had left him
without other opportunity for affection
in the home. since be had neither
brother nor sister
In that simple a "a sincere regard
which he bore for ! is father. the boy
revealed heart really for love. willing
TO give of itself its | 2St for the one be-
loved. Beyond thai as yet there was
little TO be said Of han with cXactnesS.
He was spoiled clild of fortune, If
you wish 10 have II so. Certainly, he
was only drone in the worlds hive.
Thus far he had enjoyed the good
things of life without ever doing aught
to deserve them by contributing in re-
turn. save by his smiles and his genial
air of happiness.
In the twenty three years OF his life
every gift that money could lavish had
been his. If the sum total Of benefit
was small, at least there remained the
consoling fact that the harm was even
less. Luxury had not sapped the
strength Of him. He had not grown
vicious, as have SO many Of his fellows
among the sons of the rich.
Sarah explained that Mr.. Glider had

"She was tried today and convicted.
The Judge sent for Mr.. Glider TO come
down this morning and have talk
with him about the sentence"
There was no lessening Of the ex-
preston OF certainty on the young
mans face. He loved his father, and
he trusted where he loved.

a tone Of entire conviction. Dads
heart is as big as barrel. He'll get

Then Of sudden Dick gave vio-

retary's desk and spoke with a new
seriousness Of manner:
"Sadie, have you any money? I'm
broke. My taxi has been waiting out
side all this time"
"Why, yes" the secretary said cheer
fully.
Dick eagerly seized the banknote Of

Mighty much obliged. Sadie" he
said enthusiastically. "But I must run.
Otherwise this wouldn't be enough for
the fare" And he darted out of the
room.

CHAPTER l.
The Panel Of Light.

"I1E lids of the girls eyes lifted
slowly. and she stared at the
u panel of light in the wall. Just
1T the outset the act OF seeing
made not the least impression Oh her
numbed brain For a long time she
continued TO regard the dim illumina-
ton III the wall with the same passive
fixity of gaze. Apathy still lay upon
her crashed spirit. III a vague way
she realized her own inertneSS and rest
ed in it gratefully, subtly fearful lest
she again arouse to the full horror Of
her plight In Il curious subcOnsciOus
fashion she was striving to hold on to
this deadness Of sensation, thus to win
a little respite from the torture that
had exhausted her soul
Of a sudden her eyes noted the black
lines that lay across the panel Of light
and in that instant her spirit was
quickened once again. The clouds lift
ed from her brain. Vision was clear
now. Understanding seized the full
import of this hideous thing Oh which
she looked. For the panel OF light was
a window set high within a wall of
stone. The rigid lines Of black that
crossed it We're bars-prisOn bars. 1t
was still true, then. She was i'll cell
Of the Tombs.
Crouching miserably on the narrow
bed, she maintained her fixed watching
of the window-that window which
was symbol of her utter despair.
Again agony wrenched within her.
The girl was appalled, by the merci-
lcssness of destiny that had so out
ragged right. She was wholly innocent
OF having done any wrong. She had
struggled through years Of privation to
keep herself clean and wholesome, wOr-
Thy of those gentlefolk from whom she
drew her blood. And earnest effort
had ended at last under an overwhelm-
ing accusation. false, yet none the less
fatal To her. This accusation after sou!
wearying delays had eliminated today

court had been imposed upon her-that
for three years she should be impris-

There had been nothing in the life
OF Mary Turner before the catastrophe
came to distinguish it from many an
other. It's most significant details were
of sordid kind, familiar to poverty.
Her father had been an unsuccessful

Most public utilities monopolies Whether
this condition is right or wrong need not be
discussed-it is a fact. 1t should be possible
to manage such a monopoly in way TO win
public regard; but this is not always done Too
many utility magnates try TO work a "einch"
for all il is worth. while they have it. They
take thought of public comfort disregard
complaints. look only to immediate dividends.
The result is that the good will with which
they started soon turns to bad WILL then to
downright dislike and hatred and finally there
comes a time when the misused public strikes
back. Friendly administrations and sllbservient
courts may protect the erring corporation for
a while, but sooner later popular vengeance
finds its mark Vengeance IL Improbable and
expensive for both parties, but it always ar
