Shortest Prison Sentence.

The shortest recorded sentence IL
that to which a woman was sentenced
at the Cookstown (Ulster) sessions.
The woman pleaded guilty to stealing
a quantity of horse hair from her en-
ployer. who said she was good work
er, but addicted to the drinking of
ether. which was the cause of her
lapse. He did not wish her to be pros
ecuted. A previous record of six
weeks Imprisonment for false pre-
fences I'm 1913 barred her from being
dealt with as a first offender. She was
ordered imprisoned until the rising of
the court. and as hers was the last
case on the list. the length of her SEN
tence was exactly two minutes and
half.-London Mail.

The day when Leila and Tommy
came into the life of Jim Peters was
his reddest OF red letter days. He al
ways saw the scene Just as he had
seen 1t then. The early SHOWS had be-
gun to whiten the hills, and Peters had
driven his stock down into the lower
country for the winter pastures.
He was sitting in his hut. thinking
over things. At thirty, he felt vaguely
that he ought TO be doing better for
himself. Not that he wanted to leave
the cattle country for the city. But
life In two-room shack, where he
cooked his own meals and made his
own bed. was becoming unbearable.
Most OF the settlers of his age were
already married. The settlement was
beginning TO prosper. Neat little flow
err beds appeared round the houses and
the young wives were very gaily
dressed upon occasions. A church had
been built; altogether 1t was place
for a young man with two thousand
dollars In the bank to rejoice In.
But Jim had always lived a lonely
life; he did not know how to change
1t. Too bashful to make advances to
any OF the town girls whom he saw
or his rare visits, and with vague
feeling that he wanted wife Of spe-
cial, hardly defined type, something
above the common run, he was brood

1t was a timid tap, such as he had
never heard. The men who tapped at
Jim's door hammered with hairy fists
until he opened to them. Jim opened
now, and was amazed to see a woman
and boy outside.
Both were thinly clad and shivering

explanation, but 1t was evident that
she WAS gently bred. The look of
WEAKNESS In her eyes haunted Jim for
days.
He took her down the hill to a wom-
an OF the valley. The hospitality Of
the West prevailed over suspicion. The
stranger and her son were given shell
ter.
Next day Leila Drayton, as she
called herself, went to work for one
of the richer settlers. But soon she
was asked to I'LL a pressing need. The
children were growing up and, in spite
of Its advantages, there was no school

never talked about her past. And the
West accepts women as well as men
for what they are, and asks no ques-
lions.
The days grew into weeks, into
months. Jim Peters often found occa-
sion to saddle his horse and ride down
into the valley. He and the boy be-

railroad embankment in search of |
birds eggs. His mother was with him,
but seated little distance behind the |
rise. Jim, watching them impatiently |
from the other side, knew that the af-
ternoon train was due.
Becoming uneasy, he hurried across
the valley. He was just on the oppo-
site ridge when he heard the train In
the distance. The sound, which burst
forth suddenly as the train came out
Of the tunnel, startled the boy, perched
on ledge. He lost his footing and

Jim plunged down the steep embank-

sweeping by, so near that the draft
almost blew him from where he had
planted himself. Afterward the boy
opened his eyes.
