Inferno.

THE memorable voice went on In
it's monotone, as if he had not
spoken.
"And when you are really
sick and have to stop work what are
you going to do then? Do you know.
Mr.. Glider, that the first time straight
girl steals it's often because she had to
have doctor-or some luxury like
that? And some of them do worse
than steal. Yes, they do-girls that
started straight and wanted to stay
that way. But, of course, some Of
them get so tired of the whole grind
that-that''-
"I'm not their guardian. l can't
watch over them after they leave the
store. They are paid the current rate
Of wages-as much as any other store
pays" AS he spoke the anger pro-
voked by this unexpected assault on
him out of the mouth of a convict

"Why," he went on vehemently, mo

"Hut YOU won't pay them enough to

And SO YOU claim that you We're

II wasn't forced to steal" came the
answer, spoken in the monotone that
had marked her utterance throughout
most OF the interview. II wasn't fore

At that naked question the owner of
the store jumped up from his chair and
stood glowering at the girl who risked
a request so full of vituperation against
himself
"How dare you speak to me like
this?" he Numbered.
"Why, l dared,'' Mary Turner ex-
planned, because you have done all
the harm you can to me. And now I'm
trying to give you the chance to do
better by the others. You ask me why

Glider could not trust himself just
then to an audible command. He was
seriously disturbed by the gently spo-
ken truths that had issued from the
girls lips. He was not prepared with
amy answer, though he holly resented
every word of her accusation.
Cassidy faced about and in his
movement there was tug at the wrist
Of the girl that set her moving toward
the door. Her realization of what this
meant was shown in her final speech

in level voice. "When come out

Factions in coahuila State Combine
Against Americans.
San Antonio, Tex, April 2S.-Fed-
erals and rebels in Coahuila state are
combining against the Americans,
says G. A. Robson of the Coahuila,
Coal company of New York, at Palan,
Mex.
Robson was the last American in
that section of Coahuila. He declares
that General Juarda, federal, and Mon
geai, rebel, met at Barbarian last
Wednesday,. A battle was imminent
when Juarda sent white flag and
said the Americans were going to in
tervene. A brief parley ensued and
then the two forces Joined, Robson
says, making total of about 5000.
With Robson were about twelve
American ranchers. Robson left Pa.
Ian when 900 employees of the COM
pany threatened him. He declared
that the railway from Cuidad Porforio
Diaz to Monclova is open, except for
one burned bridge, but nine bridges
are burned on the line from Monclova
to SaltillO.

The girl thrust forth her left hand,
on that side where stood the. officer.
So vigorous was her movement that
Cassidy's clasp was thrown off the
wrist. But the bond between the two
was not broken, for from wrist to
wrist showed taut the steel chain of
the manacles. The girl shook the links
of the handouts in a gesture stronger
than words.
"You are going to pay me for this!'
she said. Her voice was little more
than a whisper, but it was loud in the
listeners heart. Eyes, you are going
to pay-for thisv'
~
They were grim years, those three
years during which Mary Turner serv-
ed her sentence in Burnsing. There
was no time off for good behavior. The
girl learned soon that the favor of those
set in authority over her could only be
won at a cost against which her every
maidenly instinct revolted. So she
went through the inferno of days and
nights in dreariness Of suffering that
was deadly. Naturally the life there
was altogether an evil thing There
was the material i'll ever present In the
round of wearisome physical toil-the
coarse, distasteful food; the hard mar
row couch; the constant, gnawing irk-
eomeness of imprisonment, away from
light and air, away from all that
makes life worth while.
The hest evidence of the fact that
Mary Turner's soul was not fatally
soiled must be found in the fact that
still at the expiration of her sentence
she was fully resolved to 1--we straight,
as the saying is which she had quoted
to Glider. This. too, In the face OF
sure knowledge as to the difficulties
that would beset the effort and in the
face of the temptations offered to fol-
low an easier path.

would you be humble she demand

~ musical, yet forbidding, too, with a
note of passion, "would you be humble
if you We're going to prison for three
years for something you didn't do?"
Don't mind her, sir" Cassidy said.
He meant to make his manner very re-
assuring. "Thcy all say that. They
are innocent of course: Yep, they all
say it. 1t don't do 'em any good but
just the same they all swear they're
innocent. They keep it up to the very
last, no matter how right they've been
got''
The voice Of the girl rang clear.
There was note of insistence that

Yes, three years.

from the girls lips. Instead only a

Washington, April 2S.-President
Wilson has made personal appeal
to John D. Rockefeller to bring about
a settlement of the Colorado coal
strike and end the violence which has
cost a score of lives and large proper
ty loss.
Rockefeller, who owns large part
of the mines affected by the strike, in
response to telegram from the presi
dent, declared he had turned over his
interests in Colorado to his son, John
D. Rockefeller, Jr., whom he would
ask to cooperate with Chairman Eos
ter of the house committee on mines
and mining. The president sent Mr..
Foster to New York to talk with the
younger Rockefeller.
Upon the outcome of the conference
depends whether federal troops, which
have been asked for by all sides of
the controversy, will be sent to the
strike zone. Recently the younger
Rockefeller, at hearing of the mines
committee of the house, said the mine
owners would fight to the end, even
though they lost all they had invested
in Colorado.
