Woman Open to Conviction
A Short Story by Anna Duane
(Copyright. 1303, by the Drover's Journal.)
811.s Day and Cephaa Gala bod been
close friends, and their friendship . had
been tested In many ways from the time
that they were boys together until now
when gray hairs had multiplied on the
heads of each.
Thirty years previous, when Silas hnd
entered Into an engugement of marriage
with Charlotte Price, Cephas had formed a
Ilk compact with Elmlra Trip, and when,
as the outcome of a quarrel, the first en
gagement vm declared off, Cephas had
broken his own compaot, ignoring his
friend's protest and explaining enigmatic
ally to Elmlra that . ha was "powerful
sorry," but he had "ter make it easier fur
Bllas."
The latter had lived on the old farm until
the death of his parents, when he had
rented it and had settled In another county.
Cephas accompanied him, and Silas'
nephew and wife made their home with
him. Friday morning Bllas entered the
barn with a gloomy brow.
"Well," said Cephas, "what's wrong?"
"Cephaa," aald Silas, scratching his ear
perplexedly, "thcr's no getlln' over the f ict

The next Saturday the two friends re
duced the landlord of' the Inn at Hackets
town to the verge of stupefaction at their
capacity for stowing away good things, and
at last, quite beyond words, they climbed
Into the stage for the return trip.
The coach carried two other passengers
a ruddy-faced farmer, evidently a stranger,
and another stranger in the person of an
elderly Woman of spare- frame, with nu
merous belongings, which she generally
counted before the coach started.
The ruddy-faced farmer opened the con
versation, leaning toward Silas.
"Ever been in these parts afore?"
No answer. Silas was drewsy. -
"I say, ever in these part afore?"
Bllas opened his eyes. "Wall, yes; Iv
traveled this ere way afore." ,
"Coin" far?"
Bllas did not seem to hear him. -"(Join1

"My dear air." said Bllas, "will y kindly
let m meditate?"
"Certln, certin. Stranger round here?"
addressing the woman.
"Yls I be," she said Impatient!?, and ter
save ye the trouble er axin, I'm goin' ter
visit my niece. She lives on gewgaws, so
I'm takln' her some good hulsom vittle
cottage cheese, sugar-cured herm and
sldges. I don't want to starve, so I brung
'em along. I'm goin' ter take a nap.'
Thereupon she comfortably settled herself.
Silas and Cephaa smiled sympathetically,
the farmer also noddod and the coach went
lumbering on for an hour or so, when all
at once an ominous creaking was heard
and the vehicle settled without warning
half over on. Its side. Confusion reigned.
the horses plunged and were controlled
with difficulty by nearby farm hands, after
which the startled passengers emerged un
hurt. "Wall." said Silas, "that was a surprise.
Now, I guess we'd better foot It, Cephas,"
upon which the men started up the road.
The woman meantime had done the best
she could for her crushed bonnet. "Driver,"
said she, "do you know where Philip Kent
lives hereabouts?"
"Yes. tna'sm; he lives over yander to the
left of the 'old forked road. Them men's
goin' there.
"Ain't there a boy as can drive me over?"
she said.
"Sammy Last might tuk y over, I
s'pose," said a bystander.
"Thet's so,"' aald the driver. "Hero,
Ben," to a small bof. "run over to Due
hams and ask Baauny If he won't hitch, up
and take a passenger over to Qreenalt
farm.".
Away went Ben and presently returned
with the information that "Sammy will be
here when he's finished flxln' the hors
trough.".
"Doe that mean any time this : arter
noon?" asked the woman.
"Wall," said Ben, "ef Sammy has good
luck It'll probable be this arternoon."
"Sammy Is ter be depended on ef y wait
long enough," aald the driver. "He'll git
ye there afore frost sets In, anyway. -I'll
give y a coach cushion."
The woman had Just seated herself, when
a very atout woman appeared. She stopped
In astonishment.
"I'm going up ter Qreenalt to help

It was after dark wben their arrival
was announced by Sammy's cheerful drawl,
"I brought 'em. hero they' be," and Mrs.
Kent Introduced as "Aunt Lottie" their
fellow passenger to the two men, and the
Rev. Mr. Hardy.
That night In the privacy of her own
room Aunt Lottl stood solemnly gazing
at her reflected Image In the glass "Thirty
years!" she exclaimed grimly, and he don't
know me. "Well, thet' time enough to
bring wrinkle and crows feet and white
haira I'm an old woman and he's an old
man.- But he was sot, and sotnees gits
more of a sotness as a man gits old but
I guess he's lonesome."
Suddenly she saw a delicate pink rise
up Into her reflected face and spread and
spread up into her gray hair.
.."What, a fool I be," she said In a con
demnatory vole.
On Sabbath morning Aunt Lottie,' who
considered that absence from church ser
vice, unless some on was ill in bed or
for some reason was unable to walk or
be carried, was a flagrant offense, had
tried to straighten her 'bonnet and given
herself a mental scourging for the ain
of caring about her outward appearance.
"I be an old fool," she said to herself.
It was noticed that morning that the
Rev. Mr. Hardy was not at his beat. He
read slowly from notes, and an epidemic
of drowsiness seemed to spread like a
pall over the congregation.
Silas found himself unconsciously taking
notice of an elderly figure sitting in the
corner of hla pew. A he looked a curious
feeling of half recognition baffled him, and
in vain. lie tried to fix his thoughts on the
sermon.
Suddenly she turned and the two gased
steadily at each other for the space of a
tuomout. then a dull red crept from chin
to hair and lost itself in her capacious
bonnet.

"I can't seem ter git over the notion,"
said he, "thet I've seen ye afore some

somebody I've seen, sure."
"Very likely," said he, stiffly.
"Whar's yer home?"
"Dollards county."
"No! I ain't never bin ther."
"Come out under the trees," said Mrs.
Kent on her way out. "Nancy will bring
you out some lunch. I know uncle that
you have a fixed aversion to Charlottes,
but Aunt Lottie likes her namesakes."
Aunt Lottie rose hastily and dropped her
spectacles. Uncle Silas stooped and caught
her eye; and a sudden swift recognition
flashed into his own eyes. "Charlotte!" he
breathed, "it ain't."
"Wall," ahe said nervously, "ef It ain't.
It ain't."
"Arter thirty years," said he ambigu
ously, "it ain't possible, but It is, It is. It
ain't believable." i

A week had passed by and Aunt Char
lotte was preparing to leave. The thought
of It brought a disquieting lump into Silas'
throat. '
"Charlotte," said he, "we're old folks
now and I love ye same as ever. Won't
ye be my wife? I do want ye and," de
terminedly, "I must hev ye."
"I guess not."
"Why! ye'r a wldder. Ain't y a wld

His countenance fell. "Wall," he said
dully. "1 ain't any wus off'n I was afore.
I ain't goin' ter polyglzo fer poppin the

hardness melted away from her race. How
worn and old he looked.
.She stopped.

"Why?"
She looked at him.
He saw her softened eyes fill with tears
through which shone the ofd lnve, whll
that same dull red swept over her awak
ened face.
"Thank ye, Charlotte," said he humbly,
and kissed her cheek. .
Later on, at the supper table, Mrs. Kent
said:
"Help yourself to Chsrlottes, Aunt Lot

Marvelous Cares Said to Have Been
Effected'by the Mysterious Metal
SHORTENS LIST OF INCURABLE MALADIES
General Revolution la Sorgerr and
Medicine Predicted Result of
Recent Experiments la
Foreign Hospitals.
Scientist view radium, the mysterious
metal of wonderful power, with th awe
which an unknown and fearful force might
command. 1
"What Is Its future?" is their question.
It has only been a few months since that
question was asked first, and already there
have been answers not many, but suffi
cient to bo a hint as to the wonderful things
which may bo expected in time to come.
Heetofor It has been treated only a
some new toy possessed of powers and pe
culiarities of great Interest, but of little
material prolt. Tlils view has been
changed. Radium is displaying new and
useful powers with every step in its devel
opment It is found now In the laboratories of
thoroughly equipped chemists and in the
studies of not a Tew surgeons. Its ultimate
service In many lines is doubted no longer.
There are men who affirm that radium
eventually will cause a general revolution
In surgery and medicine; that It will cure
maladies now regarded as Incurablo that.
In fact, this yellow atom, so Insignificant
In appearance, eventually will prove one of
the greatest boons to ailing mankind that
ever was discovered.
Time alone can prove these expectations
and Justify them. Meanwhile some light
is thrown on the subject by an Inquiry Into
the things already accomplished by the
metal.
At an English hospital, the Mlddletex,
two cases of lupus are under treatment by
means of radio-activity, that subtle. Im
perceptible emission of sparks that goes on
continuously without affecting any change
or loss in the metal Itself.
"The progress in each case has been sat
isfactory," report the hospital authorltlea,
"but It Is too early to predict a full and
complete cure."
From Scotland, however, comes news of
a case of lupus cured after four weeks'
treatment by radium. The dreadful dis
figurements formerly borne by the patient
are said to have disappeared entirely.
Burn. Out Diseased Tisanes.
In such operations the radium used la
Inclosed In a case, which In appearance
may be compared to the pepper grinding
contrivances usually seen on the tables of
French restaurants. At one end is a small
glass dish, behind which a few sparks of
the radium may be discerned. T'hls end Is
applied to the affected parts, and the rays,
which fly off at the rate of light or at the
rapidity of 185,000 miles a second, penetrate
the glass and eat into the flesh. The re
sultant wound requires a considerable time
to heal, at times several months.
Surgeons are speculating aa to the proba
bility of radium affording a cur for the
dread scourge of cancer. Two case In
Vienna were treated by local application
of radium and the disease Is said to have
disappeared under the treatment. Time
must elpase before It can be ascertained
whether this disappearance resulted from a
complete cur or whether the benefit
merely Is temporary. It may reassert Itself
and the surgeons in charge are watching
anxiously to determine if th cur may b
pronounced abaoiute.

cures credited to a Russian scientist. Prof.
Lunden. It is claimed that by the applica
tion and use of radium he has restored
sight to two blind boy. They were 11 and
IS years old and had been blind since their
first year. They wer taken into a dark
room when the treatment was given. A
tube containing radium was held near their
foreheads and eyes. At the same time an
outline of familiar objects was thrown on
rcreen illuminated by radium. By asso
ciating the pictures with articles known
through the sense of touch the boys were
able to recognise a number of coins, keys,
a cross and other articles. It is affirmed
now that they hav learned the Russian
alphabet.
The potency of the rays Is Illustrated by
other experiments conducted by this Rus
sian professor. He bound the eyes -of two
persons tightly so that they could not see.
Then he held radium within a few Inches
of the forehead, and. it is declared, the
blindfolded persons were able to distinguish
all the objects in the darkened room.
English ophthalmlo surgeons are not sat
isfied as to the condition of the optic
nerves of the blind persons alleged to have
been cured by the application of radium,
but they do not deny the possibility of
the metal bringing sight to the eyes of
people not born blind. Science has barely
touched the fringe of the possibilities In
the new metal
Tried In Many Ills.
Nasal troubles have been treated by
small tubes containing ladlum, which are
Inserted In the nostrils. It has been used
In cases of persistent neuralgia. It ha
destroyed the bacilli of typhoid, cholera
and anthrax. It Is as potent to kill as to
cure. Small quantities of radium brought
to living creatures cause a death as sure
as It is mysterious. Live mice exposed to
the Influences of three-hundredths of a
grain of radium salt were seised with
paralysis of the cerebral nervous system,
succeeded by a complete suspension of ths
functions and by death.
A larger quantity of radium exposed in
a room In which persons were confined
and unable to escape would, it is declared,
produce the same result. There Is a hint
for some up to date scientific novelist.
Scientists, doctors and chemists who han
dle radium do so with the greatest cure.
Sir William Crookes recently carried a
small piece In his vest pocket and upon
going home rtretched Mmself ou( for a
nap. He was swakened by a severe burn
ing pain In his side and upon examination
discovered that the minute quantity of
radium had burned through his clothes
and had caused a severe blister on his
side.
Many experimenters now carry the metal
In small lead boxes. Although the radium
bums, the sensation Is one of cold rather
than heat.
Metal' Vacarle Work Wonders.
There Is, in short, no end to the vagaries
and wonder working effeots of the metal.
Prof. Q. Bohn exposed the larvae of frogs
to radium rays. The larvae showed de
cided acceleration of growth and became
tadpoles in eight days. Further exposure
of the tadpoles to the radium resulted in
their becoming monstrosities.
The scarcity and dearness of radium re
tard a more general research Into Its pos
sibilities. At present It Is sold tn Ger
many, whence it is Imported to this coun
try at 2 a mlllgramme. At this rate one
pound of It, if such a quantity were ob
tainable, would cost over tl.OUO.OOO. It I
