Hypoerites In Society.

1t amuses one to see people using
the mantle of charity not to cover the
destitute, not to hide good deed, but
to conceal a creeping intrusion into
the houses of the great and the pene-
tralia of fashionable society. which is
the only sort of society rich idlers rec
ognize. No doubt many philanthropic
movements are aware Of those who
are in them for the sake Of the meet
ings held in great houses, which give
to those who attend a pleasing sense
of proximity to fabulous luxury. If
people have their hands full of impor-
tant business which they cannot drop,
this ceaseless struggle to stand up

tried to push it away. He did not

They were waiting for him, the re.

There was the doctoA lingering his

Coningsby looked at the reporters.
Their faces, singularly blank, stared
impassively into his. He saw q young
man moistening his dry lips furtively.
He was already in the chair! He
had sat down, still absorbed in his
thoughts. Now it was all but over

No word was spoken, but Coningsby
knew that the dreadful drama had al.
ready begun. The electrodes were al
ready applied. He felt the straps
about him. He gripped the chair with
both his hands. He felt his eyeballs
throbbing. He heard the droning Of
the clergyman beside him.
He stared out under the bandages
about his eyes. He saw the line of
CHASTITY faces opposite him. The little
reporter was wiping his forehead.
Somebody pressed down the bandage
again, but not before he had seen
Polly's face among those Of the as
sembled witnesses.
His blood ran sluggishly and icy
needles seemed to prick his veins.
Polly had come to see him die! The
thought was maddening. His eyes had
caught hers and he had seen hers
fixed on his with emotion, almost with
fear.
He tore the bandage from his eyes
and struggled in the chair. He drew
in deep breath. The guards placed
their hands on him and forced him
down. He knew that the fatal cur.
rent would not be sent through his
body while their hands were about
him. And, clinging to them, he strove
to raise, while the droning went on be-
hind him.

He fought like q madman. The
scene dissolved in a red mist like that
which had been before his eyes when
he committed murder. All the while
he saw Polly's face, the horror in her
eyes. She started up.

Take it easily now. It won't last q
moment"
He cursed the warden. He fought
like man possessed. Polly had risen
and was coming toward him.

He felt the current course through
his body. He ceased to struggle. His
last thought was that it was too late.
1T didn't hurt you, did it?"
He was staring into Polson's face.
The dentist was standing over him,
his forceps in his hand, and, at his
side, was Polly.

Hurt you? Not a bit. You won't
feel anything"
The CHASTITY irony of the words rang
through Coningsby's brain. True, he
would feel nothing, but it was not the
physical pain he feared. It was the
instantaneous fight of the soul, the
terror of nothingness when the electric
current sped through his nerves and
strained and stiffened muscles taut
against the straps. What did he care
for physical pain?
And the crime, the trial, the SEN
tence to death, the long wait in the
deathhouse had almost vanished from
his mind. SO long ago they seemed.
1t was as il q different man had COM

shape in the upper jaw. 1t was Poison

condolences that seem always to lie

whispered hopefully.
That was the first time that Con-
ingsby realized the imninence Of
death. A second-degree verdict! Why,
what had people been counting on?
Suddenly he became aware that the
faces Of the spectators had death in
them. There was death in the silence
of the court, in the faces Of the po-
lice. in the averted looks Of the Jurors
as they came ominously back.

That my articles on heart topics

letters to young girls, single women
Just past the first bloom of womanhood

widows, to be sent out asking their
experience and views on the subject

should be encouraged to believe mar

ambition and hopes should be aimed.
In every instance a reply. direct from
the heart was received. It was a stu

these letters, separating the wheat

Every phase of love has been laid

marriage is the probable outcome of
their existence. a natural result-when
the right man is met, which will be an
honorable man, one who holds youth
and virtue sacred-in truth, the
rose bloom which Jewels her ex-

vast majority of writer's that great
good is accomplished in pointing
out to unsophisticated young girls

paths and the stumbling blocks There
are danger signals to hesitating, weak
natures that might love unwisely and
too we'll. To sum up the matter, girls
