SAVINGANOUTCAST
BY MARAH ALICE PETERS.

For good or bad, the world all be-
before me! Freedom, health-which
path shall take?"
The man who spoke was an ex-con-
vict. He had just been released from
the penitentiary after serving a ten
years sentence for embezzlement He
was not thirty-five, yet his hair was
streaked with gray and there was a
certain hardness about the lips that
comes from solitude and resentment.
In word, Mark Burnham, with lit
tie or no bringing up, an orphan from
a tender age, had wasted five years Of
his life, had secured good position.
Finally temptation had come, he had
appropriated funds OF his employer
and had been convicted.
During all those years of hard labor
he had preserved stolid, rather than
4 submissive attitude. He had count
ed the days on notched stick. The
last one had been reached. He was
freed with a new suit of clothes and
few dollars In his pocket. At the
door of the prison he was met by a
lawyer. A distant relative had left
him $4,000. A free man, he could
now claim It.
The snug little fortune or its equiv.
alent now reposed within a secret
pocket. That afternoon he had walked
TO line of hills overlooking the coun.
try around, TO analyze his unexpected
condition Of afiluence, to plan for the
future.
His mind was blank as an unwrit-
ten page. He had no friends. He had
paid the law its penalty. He was
clear Of the world, and its fortune,
good or bad, all before him. Which
path, indeed, might he take!
AS he recalled how harshly fate had
dealt with him, as afar to the east
ne caught the glittering spires OF big
bustling city, his breath came quick
and hard. With all he had heard of

there was but one trained profession,

Just then an echoing hail attracted
his attention. From the doorway of

her husband, returning from work in
the fields. The observer noted the
aspect of comfort and plenty about
the place, the warm genuine love

His lip quivered, a tear fell upon his
outstretched hand. He turned from

A bitter scowl wreathed his face and
he walked away from the spot amongst
thS deep shade of the river path. Al
that moment, as he realized that his
hand was against every man and ev-
cry mans hand against him, the
wealth that had come to him was as
worthless dross. There was a strug-

promptings OF his recent environment.

"Helpi"
The word rang out involuntarily
from his lips. Engrossed in thought,
tramping on recklessly in his desper-

He had stumbled on a trailing vine.
rhe next moment he went headlong
down the steep decline and was en-
Iulfed by the rushing waters of the
turbid river.
There was a rapid swirl to the cur
