"Why not?" inquired his friend.
"Because it's not so much llko a
prison as most of the pens are," was
tho response. "To start with, the pris
on lockstep has boon abandoned, and
the men now go to tholr meals and
workshops In tiles of four, and lt'3
just llko marching In flies of four of
any other procossion."
"And is that what mnkes you think
It's easy?" his friend Interrupted.
"Of course not," said the man who
tocently released. "To tell tho truth,
It's less like a prlBon thun any peni
tentiary I know of. You have yotrr
task and all over that la extra and you
can blow your money as you please."
He explained that the prisoners aro
permitted to buy porterhouse steaks,
chickens, smoking material and what
ever they may deshe In the line ot
.confectionery.
"Then," concluded the ex-convici
friend, according to the Washington
Star, "tho prison Is not as bad as It'a
painted."

True luxury to the mind of the aver
age woman consists in not thinking
about clothes at all; In being caught
out In the rain without having to glvo
a thought to one's apparel; In being
able to ilng a doorbell without consid
ering whether tho brass will leave n
mark on one's glove and so render Its
time of userulness a trifle shorter. It's
not the average woman who Baves her
gowns until they're hopelessly out of
date and then cuts them down for her
daughters; It's the exceptional member
of her box who economizes In this fool

It seem In the morning? Ho shivered
n little. The girl pressed his nrm
close to her sldo.
"Aro you cold, dear?" flho asked,
"what Is It?"
No, Jack llalloway was not cold, not
tired exactly-Just a llttlo upset It
was nothing. Ho laughed and tho
sound hceined hard and Jangled to his
ears. He glanced at the happy fnco by
his side and a wave if nwful reproach

what would It bo to her? Ho had scon

her. Tho memory of tho stricken face,

befoiti him. Then ho had comforted
her. Now-? Ho must not think
thoio must bo some way out of tho
di oadful tangle. Ho made an effort
and berjnn to talk business, gossip,

Tho oii'hestra was playing a medley

Ho kept looking at his watch would it
never bo over?
Isabel chatted happily dining tho In
terludes and pressed closo to him dur
ing thu emotional scenes. It was bo
Lomfortlnir to liavo .rack all her own.
Her young heait thiobbed In sympathy
with tho woes of tho hcioluo and tears
came to her eyes. She could feel Jack
bo near her and his presenco stlllod
and helped her. Ho was bo handsome
and stiong, and how Intent ho seemed
on the play.
Tho walk homo seemed so short to
her so long to him. Ho klBsed her
mechanically n.i ho loft har and apolo
gized for being such poor company.
Isubel did not mind; beyond tho fact
of his rather unusual sllcnco uho had
noticed nothing. Only a few months
now and sho would bo Mrs. Jack that
was happiness enough. And, of course,
she must not cxnect him to talk when
ho was tired. Happy, blue-eyed, sunny-haired
Isabel! How llttlo sho knew
of tho black despair crazing her lover's
brain.
In his own roomB at last with tho
doorB carefully locked tho man turned
on tho lights and threw hlmsolf Into a
chair, tore a letter from hla pocket and
read It over and over again, whllo his
face grew whlto nnd great boads ot
perspiration gathered upon his brow.
"Mv own Jack!" tho letter ran. "I

"HIb devotod wife!" Back, back
traveled his thoughts. How did It nil
begin? Where? Could It havo been
but a year ago that ahort, mad epi
sode? Oh, fool, fool! what had pos
sessed him! Ho saw as In a dream tho
gay lights ot a southern meaier, a
graceful dancing girl, an Introduction
behind tho econes; a prlvato room at
oieadful fate, the dismal Hearib, thon
a thing dug from the i haired ruins

and hnd never wiltten? Had tnkon up
her life and been silent Now. llko an
nvenglng Nemesis she wn appearing
fioin the lint oil past to wreck all that
ho held dear.
Yet In a way ho had loved her. II
could nlmost hear her singing "Tho
Old Kentucky Homo" In her itch voice
and tho a weep of her bnnjo with the
pink ilbbons. A faint perfume clung
to her letter. It brought buck a tor
rent of old recollections. She was hla
wlfo after all. and they had passed
many hnppy hotiis together. What In
God's nnmo should ho do?
Who wan the womnn ho had burled
- hud went over? Ho remembered
how ho had turned from thnt grave
with a vow for a better life a prayor
for a manly career whero ho might bo
of some use.

emptied a very little ot a whlto powder
from a small bottlo Into a glass, added'
a little water and placed It near his,

morrow would ho Friday.
In tho gray of tho early morning
llalloway arose. His head was heavy,
and ached dully fiom tho morphlno,
hut ho had slept. Tho day had como
how would It end? Ho wa3 rich
perhaps ho could buy Maud off mon

All day long tho man Bnt In his or
flco waiting. Sho would probably Bond
a message from her hotel. Sho might
como to him direct. No one ever know
what sho would do. Oh, If ho only
know hor train.
At six o'clock that evening ho was
Btlll waiting. Ills bookkeeper camo
into his prlvato olllce. "Ill, Mr. Hallo
way?" ho aaked. "You didn't go to
lunch."
"No, Joe, not 111 exactly," answered
tho broker, "but not feeling qulto
right"
"Sorry," said tho clerk politely.
"Here'B nn evening papor terrlblo

dlnla. Seventeen killed. Tho Mnxoy
troupo was on tho train. Somo of tho
girls dead. That's awful, isn't It?
Hero's a list."
"Lot mo tako It!" cried llalloway,
reaching out a trembling hand. "Whoro
Where's tho list?" Tho bookkeeper
pointed It out.
Jack glanced nt it and fell back In
his chair. "Call a cab, quick!" ho
cried. "I've a friend among thoso
poor people I'm going down thoro."
The nstonlshcd clork ran downstairs.
"Maud Hudson killed!" murmured
llalloway with dry lips. "That's her
stage name. Poor llttlo Maud. If

ropellod at himself. "It's bettor bo,"
ho thought, "It might havo been both

Isabel looked anxiously for her be
trothed for the next three days. II
was cruel for Jack to go away and
leavo no word. When ho returned h
was very palo, very tender with her.
"I lost an old friend In that fearful
wreck at Cordlnla, my darling!" ha
said huskily; "plcaso do not ask mo

And Isabel has never asked, and In
her happy married life has forgotten.
