For good or bad, the world all be-
before me! Freedom. health-which
path shall take?'
The mar who spoke was an ex-con-
Wet. He had just been released from
the penitentiary after serving a ten
years sentence for embezzlement. he
was not thirty Eve, yet his hair was
streaked with gray and there was a
certain hardness about the lips that
from solitude and resentment.
In a word. Mark Burnham, with lit
tie or no bringing up, an orphan from
a tender age, had wasted FIVE years of
his life, had secured a good position.
Finally temptation had come, he had
appropriated funds of his employer
and had been convicted.
During all those years of hard labor
he had preserved a stolid, rather than
a submissive attitude. He had count
ed the days on a notched stick. The
last one had been reached. He was
freed with a new suit OF clothes and
a few dollars in his pocket. At the
door of the prison he was met by a
lawyer. A distant relative had left
him $4,000. A free man, he could
now claim it.
The snug little fortune or its equiv
alent now reposed within a secret
pocket. That afternoon he had walked
to a line of hills overlooking the coun.
try around, to analyze his unexpected
condition of afIiuence, to plan for the
future.
His mind was blank as an unwrit-
ten page. He had no friends. He had
paid the law its penalty. He was
clear of the world, and it's fortune,
good or bad. all before him. Which
path, indeed. might he take!
AS he recalled how harshly fate had
dealt with him. as afar to the east
he caught the glittering spires of a big
bustling city. his breath came quick
and hard. With all he had heard of

how shrewdly might he use his little
capital in schemes to fleece the I'M
wary, to enrich himself. Then, too,
the pleasures of the great metropolis
dazzled him.
ITO live the life!" he breathed hot
iy- after those ten years, chained up
like a wild beast!"
Just then an echoing hail attracted
his attention. From the doorway of
a neat little farmhouse a comely girl
ish matron was waving a welcome to
her husband, returning from work in
the fields. The observer noted the
aspect of comfort and plenty about
the place, the warm genuine love
greeting of the twain.
His lip quivered, a teal fell upon his
outstretehed hand. He turned from
the sight.
Love, peace. happinessl" he NUT
tered in a broken tone, but not for
me, the branded the accursed of hui
manity!"
A bitter scowl wreathed his face and
he walked away from the spot amongst
the deep shade of the river path. At
that moment, as he realized that his
hand was against every man and ev-
cry mans hand against him. the
wealth that had come to him was as
worthless gross. There was a strug-

but the struggle was not decisive.
'Help!'
The word rang out involuntarily
from his lips. Engrossed in thought,
Itramping on recklessly in his desper-
ate mood, he had not noted his course.
He had stumbled on a trailing vine.
The next moment he went headlong
down the steep decline and was en-
quilted by the rushing waters Of the
turbid river.
There was a rapid swirl TO the cur
rent that at once swept him into mid
stream. Durham was 0 a swim

out a man or the path, 25 feet up the
