previous July 9Th celebrations, it was
decided to use the money to pay for the
band stand, the remainder to be divided

credit is due the citizens for showing
their appreciation of the boys efforts

Being Accredited to the Court
of ST. James.

The British court Is known as the
Court of st. James because the official
residence of the king of England was
at st. James palace from the reign
of William III to the year 1897, in the
reign Of Victoria. In that year the
queen and all the rest of the royal
family moved to Buckingham palace,
so far as concerns board and lodging,
mere physical facts. In theory the
court still resides at the squat and
ugly edifice of st. James. and levees
and drawing rooms continue to be
held there in support Of the legal fic-
ton. The name of ST. james appears
in connection with the present edliice
because hospital for leperS was oc-
cupicd on the site before 1870 under
dedication to st. James the Less. In
1882 Henry VIII took over the proper
~ from its monastic possessors, de-
Stroyed the buildings and erected the
palace. of which Hans Holbein Is said
To have been the designer. While

time II was constructed Anne Boleyn

in his tones. "After all the years I
have earned lt-freedom !"
Yes, by every tule of right and
equity this unfortunate atom on the
scrap heap of rejected humanity was
entitled TO his liberty. He had been
amazed stupefed eight years previous
to awake from n night of revelry to
find himself the scapegoat Of band
of criminals he had never suspected.
He had been sentenced to prison for
| Is years. Friendless, helpless, he had
mutely accepted his fate. His previ-
Gus life had been uueventful; he did
not know OF Il living relative In the
world. Luckily, his cellmate was a
gifted and intelligent man-true, a

SO, to Richard Dale, engrossed In the
delights of acquiring knowledge, the
prison rot and degradation never
marred his naturally simple and hon

until that day near the quarry the cir

to him of the joys Of uurestrained lib
erty-the waving trees and nodding
! flowers appeared to beckon to him TO
join the fearless, Haunting votarles of
nature pulsating wlth unshackled
glory.
For three days Richard Dale was
close prisoner in the freight car. The
main doors were Of solid iron

one end barred Hunger and thirst

of the accidents FOR which they have

countryside had been canvassed for
donations, and with few exceptions the
people responded nobly, there being on
the event motley array of vegetables,
chicken, fruit, fancywork, etc, which,
when brought under the hammer of the
noted auctloneer, d. MacKay, netted
the Red Cross workers neat sum.
A short musical program given by
some Of the members and school chill
dren was greatly appreciated. The
wants OF the inner man were satisfied
al the lunch and ice cream booths,
where daintily clad ladies served coffee,
sandwiches, ice cream, cake, etc.
Several were lucky enough to win a
chicken dinner for the next day from
the wheel of fortune. A ton of coal,
ham, aud gold chain were raiIled, be-
ing won by the following: Robert Per-
thai the coal; Opal Eggers the chain;
and Mrs. Dora Stacey the ham.
A display of finished articles made by
the society filled a booth, for the people
in general to see and realize for what
the money was being raised.

Loved
and Lost
By A. c. Sheswin

Copyright. 1917. by W. G. Chapman.)
"Free %
1t was an ecstatlc word to utter, and
under conditions that thrilled the soul
Of forlorn refugee, who for the first
moment In seventy-two hours felt that
he had crossed the boundary line Of
imprisonment and misery.
Plainly, Richard Dale was an escaped
convict. As he skulked In and out
among lines of freight cars at rail-
way junction center, he still wore the
striped garb Of the penitentiary. Look
ing back, his break from a gang work
ing In quarry outside of the penl-
Tertiary walls, his lodging of shots
from the prison guards. his leap
through the open doorway of NOV
ing freight car seemed like parts Of
some vivid movie set Of scenes.
In dark corner Of the car only half
loaded he had covered. The train was
not searched. Finally 1t halted along
side a storage warehouse. Here some
additional freight was loaded into the
car. Then Its doors were doubly locked
and the train began long steady
Journey.
"A stowaway, and safe" sollloquized
Richard Dale, alias Convict 59S7, and
there was a thrill of immense relief
