Europe running on low wheat sup

Corn probably a slight sale against

BY MIRIAM JAMES.

"Crothers." the warden had said,
your boys sick-pretty bad. reckon.
There's a chance, though, so keep your
spirits up. and Ill let you know as
soon as ] get further word"
And Jim Crothers, good conduct man,
with q year more of five-year term to
serve. heard these words echoing again
and again In his heart as he piled his
pick upon the hard road.
His wife had 6been true to him all
through the four years that he had
served. Influential friends had prom
ised him a new start in life when he
came out Crothers had been a model
prisoner and, in conformity with the
humane system Of the state. was on
parole. In everyday working clothes.
without a guard to supervise him, he
labored, with the few others In his
class, breaking up the old asphalt
track that ran between the prison and
the nearest town. The men worked

him since his wife brought him. an In.
FAINT In arms, to the court detention
room to bid him good-by His first
question was always for Johnny. And
the lad lay sick Of typhoid fever. The
crisis had come. He must see him be-
fore he died.
It was more than hundred miles to
Renfrew, but. by jumping a freight
train. Crothers could get there by mid
night And by the following afternoon
he could be back at the prison. To
break parole was regarded as an un.
speakable offense; only two men had
done so, and they had had to bear the
scorn Of their companions ever since.
But then. neither Of these had had a
little dying son whom he had not seen
in four years.
Crothers raised himself and looked
across the hot plains toward the sta
ton. In his clothes he would attract
no attention. 1t would be easy to
board the afternoon train that carried
freight into Renfrew. At the worst,
Crothers knew he could persuade the
conductor to let him remain. He had
a persuasive eloquence, and the
thought of his sons illness drove him
into a frenzy of fear.
Crothers looked cautiously about
him. The man nearest him was out OF
sight. Ahead of him lay stretch Of
brush-once beyond that he could
make the station unperceived. And
the alarm would not be sounded for q
couple Of hours. BY that time he
would be well on his way. He would

No sooner planned than done. He

The ride was hard and his seat in

Once the conductor came along and
turned his face in his direction. Croth-

amazement, the man passed on. appar-

So Crothers made Renfrew. He

was poor enough cottage; but John
ney and Mary lived there, and that
fact made 1t home. Just as though It
were q castle. Quietly Crothers IN
fastened the front door and made his
way up the stairs. At the head Of the
flight he paused uncertainty, for there
was q certain strangeness In the stu.
alton in which he found himself; but q
child's fitful cry came to his ears and.
turning aside, he made his way toward
the door of the room in which the boy
was lying.
He stood still at the door. Mary was
seated on a low chair beside the bed,
on which lay Johnny, flushed with fe-
