She sat at the consul generals table,
informally. There was gay inconse-
quential chatter, an exchange of rec
objections and comparisons of cities
and countries they had visited at sep

thoughts. She refrained because of a
strange yet natural shyness of a
woman who has found herself; and

1t was best that Warrington should

In her room, later, she wrote two
letters. The one to Arthur covered
several pages; the other consisted of
a single line. She went down to the
office, mailed Arthur's letter and left
the note in Warrington's key box. 1t

against the way he had treated his

And all that day Elsa had been
waiting patiently to hear sounds of
Warrington in the next room. Never
could she recall such long, weary
hours. Time and again she changed
a piece of ribbon, bit of lace, and
twice she changed her dress, all for
the purpose of making the hours pass
more quickly. Whenever Martha ap-

wanted nothing, that she was head

FEDERAL CONVICT LABOR.

Washington.- Nearly 1000 federal
prisoners will be idle at the Leaven-
worth and Atlanta penitentiaries unless
some plan of employment for them is
devised, says Attorney General Gregory
in his annual report. 1t is necessary, he
declares, that legislation be passed to
meet this condition and he promises to
send information to congress relating
to the manufacture of supplies for the
government.
81 shall also urge as part of the plan,
said the attorney general, the payment
monthly to the families of prisoners of
a portion of the amount earned by pris-
on labor, and in case of single men the
retention of some portion of these earn
ings to be paid over to them after their
release from confinement"
The attorney general said that fur
niture factory is in consideration for the
Leavenworth penitentiary where ult-
matcly all furniture needed by the fed
eral government may be made. A tex
tile mill and twine plant at Atlanta for
making mail bags, blankets and cotton
duck for tents is being completed.

would be- inclined to believe that
