His home was hardly more than

She wrote that his mother had been

After four years OF perfect conduct
marked by the disk and four white
chevrons, Bill explained he would be
allowed to receive visits from friends

a week, could receive "A box Of cooked

Bill had gradually loosed his clothes
as he talked. He was now ready to
retire. Montgomery saw him lift his
long. powerful arms and take hold
upon the edge of the upper pallet.
Without touching the lower one with
his feet he drew himself up and swung
into bed with the agility and ease of
an orang.
Good night" he grunted from
above
Montgomery prepared to retire. and
when he was ready TO creep under his
blanket he knelt and bowed his head.
The cell lights had been turned out.
Hearing no sound from below, Bill
leaned over the edge OF his pallet and
peered into the checkered shadows

morning meal was dispatched in ST.

he started work i'm the machine shops.
The careful training his old mother
had given him stood him in good stead.
Every task that came to his hand he
did cleanly and quickly He found
that the dreaded rule OF silence was
an advantage. He had much to learn
about machinery and could apply him
self To getting this knowledge without
distraction of any sort. His foreman
found him efficient. steady in his work
and willing. He promised to become
one of the most useful men who ever
worked in prison garb.

The task was mighty one. The

words Dear mother" shook his whole
nature. His hand trembled violently
and his heart beat so fast that he felt
weak and Ill. A great sorrow envel-

for bitterness or protest Just the
touch of her dear hand, just a glimpse

Montgomery felt the kindness and
humanity In the offer.
I'm all right now, Bill" said he.
Thank you. just lost my nerve for
a minute. | want TO write my mother.
and | didn't know what TO tell her"
Tell her." echoed Bill why.
there's lots to tell her. Tell her about
the white disk you still got ON your
arm and about the white chevron. Tell
her you're the best boy in the Sunday
school and always know your lesson.
Tell her that every time you get "a
white stripe there's something doing
for big. fine record and that after
awhile they will let you ont for being
so good"
The suggestion was ~ worthy one.
He would tell her all of this as the
practical sense of the old burglar had
advised He would tell her also of his
advance in his craft. Of the new tools
he had learned TO use. of the machin-
cry he was already building and re-
pairing and of his plans for perfectng
mechanical devices. He would draw a
picture OF inventions he had in mind
and that he would have patented. OF
the fortune that he would make some
day and of the spending of that for
tune to gain his liberty aud prove his
innocence by finding the man who had
killed the Waterman
That's the stuff. kid exclaimed the
delighted old burglar You're bound
to put it over on them yet You got
brains The warden will help you get
your patent. and there's plenty OF law
yers in this place to draw up the APP
plications. Before you know ii you
will have money rolling in on you. and
with money you can do anything in
this world. You can buy political in-
fuence enough to get a pardon. Go to
il, son. and make the old lady think
that you'll soon be out, and be a rich
man too"
In the morning Bill was ready with
more suggestions
'If | could stomach all these rules
like you" he said. II wouldn't serve
half my term, believe me. Once they
get TO trusting you they watch you
less. You come AID 80 liAc a trusty.

you get a coat and pair OF pants

II HIS busy progressive nation is today at
the dawn of a new era of commercial
and social development The means by
- which the human voice, with its slightest
infections and indications of personality,
can be carried across the continent instantly,
have been provided. Talking by telephone from
New York to San Francisco is now an accom-
plished fact.
The celebration Of this latest and greatest
triumph in the of telephony has just taken
place. Within short time the public will have
ready for its use, the product of American
brains, American initiative and American scien-
tihc and technical skill. a transcontinental tele-
phone service, the equal of which is not even
approached in all the other nations of the world.
1t is splendid scientific achievement OF the
very highest character. The power that sends
the human voice out the telephone is scarcely
greater than that of breath, yet the means
have been provided by which this tiny, almost
imaginary impulse made up Of many 1000
separate vibrations a second, be picked up
by delicate instrument, conserved over dis
lance of 3,40o miles, and reproduced perfectly
and instantly across the continent The human
voice has been made TO travel as fast as light,
faster than sound unaided bv technical apparatus:
indeed, it rivals THOUGHT even in the swift
of its flight
The Imagination can but feebly grasp, much
less attempt TO measure the far-reaching signih-
canoe OF such tremendous Accomplishment.
One hundred million people will have for their
daily a system of communication that knows
no East, no West. no North. no South. Dialects,
provincialisms, sectional preiudices must event
uay yield to the closer union. the better under

standing the intimate comradeship that the
human voice establishes The neighborliness of
a whole nation is advanced by the brushing away
OF the physical restraints of centuries.
This contribution TO the future happiness and
prosperity of more closely united people has
not been brought about, however, by the over
coming of few isolated, concrete difficulties.
Its success has depended upon the exercise of
the highest engineering and technical skill and
the solution found only in the cumulative eff
feet of improvements great and small, in tele-
phone, transmitter, line cable, switchboard, and
every other piece of apparatus plant required
in the transmission of speech.
In this work the experimental and research
department of the Bell System of which this
Company is part, has been engaged ever since
the telephone became commercial possibility,
less than 40 years ago. With traditions to
follow and experience to guide, this depart
ment, which is now directed by staff of over
$50 engineers and scientists including former
professors, post graduate students, scientific in
vestigators-the graduates OF lao universities
has created an entirely new art-the art of tele-
phony, and has given to the people of this coun-
try telephone service that has no equal.
II has required vast expenditures of money
and immense concentration of effort but these
have been justified by results of immeasurable
benefit to the public. The transcontinental tele-
phone line, 340o miles long, joining the Atlantic
and Pacific. is part of the Bell System of 81 100000
miles OF wire connecting 9000O 900 telephone sta
tons located everywhere throughout The United
States. Composing this system are the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company and AS
