Dear Kate:
Just don't know how can tell you all
about 1t. Jim is out and II is awful,
suppose you know it by this time In that
way that you people seem to get all the
news, especially any news that has to do
with crooks or prisons. The papers say
that him and French Louis hit one Of the
guards over the head with a hammer while
coming from work and got away. They
hit too hard, and the guard is dead
Well, I didn't think much about 1t except
to be kinda sorry that Jim had made such
a fool of himself, as he only had year
more. and IL nearly knocked my pins out
from under me when l come UP to my room
one night and found Jim setting there. He
was all in and in an awful bad way, and
/ said to him, For Gods sake, Jim, why
did you come to me? The police viii sure
watch me-"
He said, Il couldn't help It, Nan, I am sick
and broke and I got to have money and
/ didn't know who else to touch who
wouldn't peach"
Well l just stood with my back against
the door and looked at him, with one ear
ready to listen If any one come up the
stairs. He sure did look tough The year
hasn't done him no good, He couldn't look
even me in the face / asked him II IL
was so what 1t said in the papers that he
had killed a guard. He all broke down
and said, Honest TO God, Nan, we didn't
mean to croak him. We didn't hit hard
enough to break a baby's head. II must
q been like inush" He got arp and walked
up and down the room and was all in
tremble and he kept saying, I'VE didn't
mean to croak him"
l asked him how he got in my room
cause my door was locked, and he Just
laughed and said, We'll, II / get so as
| can't unlock a crazy lock like this, !
better stay in for the rest of my life"
He talked about half an hour with me
and l was scared that he had been seen,
and I tried to get him to go away. but It
seemed he wanted to talk with some one
he was not afraid Of. ! asked him what
he was going to do, and he started to tell
me where he was going to hide but |

DOES YOUR MANNER WELCOME
OR REPEL NEW ACQUAINTANCES?
The Girl Who, Because Of Sheer Nervousness,
Challenges Friendship-Fortunate the Person
Who Is Always Ahead of His Work

THERE are some persons who 60

ing friendliness; others who hold back
and by their manner challenge others.
These. latter are often unhappy. They
frequently rob themselves of very worth.
while friendships just because they never
for a moment presuppose they will be
liked, and when others do look upon
them with favor they are blindly grateful
not realizing that they in their turn have
something to offer.
once upon a time except that this Is
~ not a fairy story, there was quiet
young girl who possessed more than the
average share Of good looks and could
be altogether charming in manner But
because Of timidity she adopted an antag-
onistlc attitude toward every one she met
and made very few friends. Others
thought her attractive, but we're re-
PEELED by her manner.
Then along came another girl little
older, who had gone through that same
phase Of self-consciousness so that she
would not let herself feel snubbed. She
became the girls champion and gradu-
ally, by strenuous campaigning, had her
accepted by others.
And the little diffdent mouse positively
basked in the sunshine Of friendliness.
Her case was fortunate, for unless she
had happened on some one who was keen
enough and interested enough to under
stand her she might have spent many
long, lonely hours
1t behooves any girl who feels as this
girl did to force herself to meet others
half way, or she is storing up many
lonely hours for herself
