With the opening of tho fall school term ovor 200 open-air schools and fresh air classes for tuberculous, and anaemic children, and also for nil chil dren in certain rooms and grades, wilt bo In operation in various parts of the United States, according to the Nation al Association for tho Study and Pre vention of Tuberculosis. All of theso schools have been established since January, 1907, when tho first Institu tion of this character was opened In Providence, R. I. On January 1st, 1010, thoro wore only 13 open-air schools In this country and a year lat er the number had Increased only to 20. Thus, the real growth in this movement has been within the last two years. Massachusetts now leads tho states with 86 fresh-air schools and classos for tuborculous, anaemlo and other school chlldron, Boston alono having over 80. New York comes noxt with 29, and Ohio Is third with 21. Opon-air schools have now been estab lished In nearly CO cities In 10 differ ent states. Jackson's Relief.

Hetty Malroy and Carrlngton bad ridden Into Halolgh to take leave of tholr friends. They had watched the stage from sight, bad answered the last majestic salute tho Judgo had giv en them across tho swaying top of the coach before the first turn of the road hid It from eight, and then they had turned their horses' heads in the direction of Holle Plain. "Bruco, do you think Judge Price will ever be able to accomplish nil he hopes to?" Hetty asked when they had left the town behind. She drew In her horse as she spoke, nnd they went forward nt a walk under tho splendid arch of the forest and over a carpet of vivid loaves. "I reckon he will, Betty," respond ed Carrlngton. Unfavorable as had been his original estimate of the Judge's character, evonts had greatly modified it. "He really seems quite suro, doesn't ho?" said Betty. "There's not a doubt in his mind." He was still at Belle Plain, living In what nnd been Waro'a otflco, while tho Cavendishes were domiciled at tho big house. Ho had arranged with tho Judge to crop a part of that hope ful gentleman's land the very next season; the fact that a lawsuit Inter vened between tho Judge and posses sion seemed a trifling matter, for Car rlngton had become lnrected with the Judge's point of view, which did not admit of the possibility of failure; but he had not yet told Betty of his plans. Time enough for that when he left Bello Plain. His silence concerning the futurri bad caused Betty much thought. She wondered If he sttll intended going south into the Purchase; she was not sure but It was the dignified thing for him to do. She was thinking of this now as they went forward over the rustling leaves, and at length she turned in the saddle and faced him. "I am going to miss Hannibal dreadfully yes, and the Judge, and Kr. Yancy 1" sho began. "1 am to bo missed, too, am I, Bet t?" he Inquired, leaning toward her. "You, Bruce? Oh, I shall miss jnru, too, dreadfully but then, per. htps In five years, when you come bhek " "Five years I" cried Carrlngton, but he understood something of what was passing in her mind, and laughed shortly. "Flvo years, Betty?" he re peated, dwelling on the numeral, Betty hesitated and looked thought ful. Presently she stole a surrepti m CofirT, tious glance at Carrlngton from undor her long lashes, and went on slowly, as though sho were making careful choice of her words. ''When you come back In three years, Bruce " Carrlngton still regarded her llxed ly. There was a light In his black eyes that seemed to 'penetrate to the most secret recesses of her heart and soul. 'Three years, Betty?" he repeated again. Betty, her eyes cast down, twisted her rein nervously between her slim, white fingers, but Carrington's steady glance never loft her - sweet face, framed by its halo or bright hair. She stole another look at him from be neath her dark lashes. "Threo years, Betty?" he prompted. "nruco, don't stare at me that way, It makes me forget what I was going to say I Whon you come back next year" and then sho lifted her eyes to his and he saw that they were full of sudden tears. "Bruce, don't go away don't go away at all" Carrlngton slipped from the saddle and stood at her side. "Do you moan that, Betty?" he asked. He took her hands loosely In his and relentlessly considered her crimsoned face. "I reckon It will al ways be right hard to refuse you any thinghere is one settler the Pur chase will never get!" and he laughed softly. "It was the Purchase you were go ing there!" she cried. "No, I wasn't Betty; that notion died Its natural death long ago. When we are sure you will bo Bare at Belle Plain with Just the Cavendishes, 1 am going Into Raleigh to wait as best I can until spring." Ho spoke so gravely that she asked in quick alarm. "And then, Bruco what?" "And then Oh, Betty, I'm starv ing" All In a moment he lifted her slender figure in his arms, gathering her close to him. "And then, this and this and this, sweetheart and more and oh, Betty! Betty!" CHAPTER XXXV. 1 The End and the Beginning. When Murrell was brought to trial his lawyers wero able to produce a host of witnesses whose sworn testl- "Oh, Bettyl mony showed that so simple a thing as perjury had no terrors for them. His fight for liberty waa waged in and out of court with Incredible bitter ness, and, as Judge and Jury were only human, the outlaw escaped with the relatively light sentence of twelve years' Imprisonment; he died, how ever, before the expiration of his term. The Judge, when he returned to Raleigh, resumed bis own name ot Turbervllle, and he allowed It to be known that he -would not be offended by the prefix of General. During his absence he bad accumulated a wealth of evidence of undoubted authenticity, with the result that his claim against the Fentress estate was sustained by the courts, and when The Oaks with THE PRODIGAL JUDGE KBy iUGH AN KCSTI lUUSTtyTtONS BYD.MELVUt iff. rf 0ot33 Mtiutttt COMMnr Its stock and slaves was offered for sale, ho, as tho principal creditor, was able to buy It In. Ono of his first acts after taking possession or the property was to have Mahaffy relnterred in the grove of oaks below his bedroom windows, and he marked the spot with a great square or granite. The Judge, visibly shaken by his emotions, saw tha massive boulder go Into place. "Harsh and rugged like the nature or him who lies beneath It but en during, too, as he was," ho murmured. He turned to Yancy and Hannibal, and added: "You will lay me beside him when I die." Then whon the bitter struggle came and he was wrenched and tortured by longings, his strength was In remem bering his promise to the dead man, and it was his custom to go out under tho oaks and pace to and fro beside Mahalfy's grave until be had gained the mastery or himself. Only Yancy and Hannibal knew how fierce the conflict was he waged, yet In the end he won that best earned or all vic tories, the victory over himself. "My salvation has been a costly thing; It was bought with the blood of my friend," he told Yancy. It was Hannibal's privilege to give Cavendish out of the vast Qulntard tract such a farm as the earl had never dreamed of owning even In his most fervid moments or imagining; and he abandoned all idea of going to Eng land to claim his title. At the Judge's suggestion he named the place Earl's Court. He and Polly were entirely satisfied with their surroundings, and never ceased to congratulate them selves that they had left Lincoln coun ty. They relt that their friends, the Carrlngtona at Bolle Plain, though un titled people, were still ot an equal rank with themselves; while as for the Judge, they doubted If royalty It self laid It any over him. Mr. ' Xancy accepted his changed fortunes with philosophic composure. Technically he filled tho position of overseer at The Oaks, but the -Judge's activity was so great that this posi tion was largely a sinecure. The most arduous work he performed was spending bis wagos. Certain trifling peculiarities sur vived with the Judge even after be bad entered what he had once been Betty I " prone to call the Portal of Hope; for while his charity was very great and he lived with the splendid air of plen ty that belonged to an older order, It required tact, patience and per sistence to transact business with him; and his oredltors, of whom there were always a respectable number, discovered that 'be esteemed them as they were aggressive and determined. He explained to Yancy that too great certainty detracted from the charm of living, for, after all, life was a, game a gamble he desired to be reminded of this. Yet he was held In great re spect for his wisdom and learning, which was no more questioned than his courage. Thus surrounded by bis friends, who were devoted to Mm, he began I i'jy'""'N. ass! I "flaasw I """- s2bbJJb"'sSbvV I Hannibal's education and the prepara tlon of his memoirs, Intended primar ily for tho Instruction or his grand son, nnd which he modestly decided to call "Tho History of My Own Times," which clearly showed the magnificence of his mind and its out look. THE END. SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY Childish Mind, Groping In Darkness, Is Craving for Information That Is Denied It. Every trace of useful Information Is carefully concealed from the very young child. A rattle, or at most a rubber doll. Is Its only plaything. As it grows older It Is very slowly and gradually Introduced to the various forms of tho animal kingdom. Of the mysteries of numbers and of lan guages it has as yet no conception. Its constant questions "are for the most part answered "humorously" and hence Incorrectly, or they are not answered at all. This eternal "hu mor" is moat galling or all. Why should a human Infant be such an Ir resistible Joke? The lower animals take their young seriously end train them from the start with a very defi nite purpose in view. Yet their pos sibilities are infinitesimal as com pared with those of the average baby. And we sit calmly by and enjoy the "humor" of childhood and Insist that the child Is enjoying itself also, even though its little soul may be thirsting for Information which is laughingly denied It And we continue to put oft the Inevitable day when the child will have to take life seriously and hence, according to our tradition, sadly. One Important point which is quite overlooked by the upholders of the brainless child Is the fact that non sense and silliness are Just as taxing to the Infant mind as useful Informa tion would be. It requires no more mental effort to realise that A is A than to grasp the extraordinary fact that a mass of brownish softness is a "fussy ittle Teddy bear, yes it Is." In fact, the letter A has a distinct ad vantage. And at a more advanced age it is certainly less puzzling to be told that five and five make ten than to have one's own respectable pink toes described as a series or pigs go ing to market or entering into the va rious other activities or life.

Describing the women of India, a writer says: "Even the most withered toll-worn bag has a dignity ot carriage and a grace of motion that the west ern woman might envy. The 'sari' Is draped in an easy flowing style and adjusted as it slips back with a grace ful turn of the silver bangled arm, the skinny legs move rytbmlcatly, and the small feet fall with a silent and pantherlike tread. It Is the beauty of natural and untrammeled motion, and says much in favor of the aboli tion of the corset, for the Indian wo men retain their uprightness and sup pleness ot figure till bowed with age. "The commonest type Is the coolie woman, who undertakes all sorts ot rough work, carrying heavy burdens on her head, -and sbe Is, perhaps, the least attractive, for her workaday garments are usually faded and dirty; yet, even among this poor class of burden bearers, we see many with handsome straight fontures and supple well proportioned figures.
