views, their conduct. is deplOr-
able-hopeless. l came here to

thought of spending a certain portion
of each year here. But from what I've
heard it would be waste of time and
money!

him:
what do you intend doing with this
estate?'
Il am i'll quandary. I'm almost de-
termined to put it in the market-sell
it, be rid of it. 1t has always been
source of annoyance to our family.
However, I'll settle nothing until re-

much sooner than | intended. This
man being brought into my house has
annoyed and upset me-"

A servant came in response to Kings

about the estate.

by all means"
Trust us to do that" said Roche.
After a moment he added: ITO refer
again to selling the estate. you would
get very little for it. 1t can't depreciate
much more. and there is always the
chance it may improve. Some of the
people are quite willing to work.
"Are they? They've not shown any
willingness to me-"
ooh. no. They wouldn't"
What? Not to their landlord?"
You'd be the last they'd show 1t to.
They're strange people in many ways
until you get to know them. Now
there are many natural resources that
might be developed if some capital
were put into them"

about doing that. He said it might be

After Laws Relating TO Women.
Denver. = Mrs. George A. Carlson,
wife Of the new governor of Colorado,
has assumed her duties as assistant

her husband. She will have charge Of
legislation pertaining to women and

result in his veto or signature.
Mrs. Carlson is well equipped for
such work, as she was trained for
teaching and besides has an intimate
knowledge of law and political eco

day and says that her husband ap-
pointed her his assistant because he
thinks a WOman'S views are necessary

In addition to handling this side Of the
government of the state, Mrs. Carlson
holds conferences with women who
are interested in constructive legiSla.

Il leave q large part Of my boys

believes l am better fitted to look after

Of the state than he, a man.
Don't you think that a woman who
is competent to be the mother Of four
children is competent to have a hand

Three days afterward O'Connell was
able to dress and move about his room
He was weak from loss of blood and
the confinement that an active man re-
sents. But his brain was clear and
vivid. They had been three wonderful
days.
Angela had made them the most
amazing in his life. The memory Of
those hours spent with her he would
carry to his grave.
She read to him and talked to him
and lectured him and comforted him.
And in little while he must leave it

Well, whatever his torture. he knew
he would come out better equipped for

dreamed of in his bitter struggle with

CONVICTS WORK AT OWN JOBS
Wisconsin Town Only Requires Them
to Report at Jail at Night.

TO nSPCTt at jail CT tNiSiA'
Racine, Wis.-The city's manner Of
handling prisoners detained at the
county Jail is attracting widespread at
tention. The Commercial club is in
receipt of communications from va
rious large cities in the middle west
seeking particulars as to the novel plan
now In force here
The scheme is for the sheriff to allow
prisoners to continue their daily pur
suits, only requiring them to report for
the night at the lookup. If the prison
er has a family his earnings are turned
over to his dependents, but if not he is
given his earnings at the end of his
term of service.
The sheriff has been instrumental in
procuring positions for prisoners who
had no employment. The method prac-
tically leaves the jail uninhabited by
prisoners through the day.

courted darkness, when John w. Moore
