Hubert Dalo "Old Trinity" tho
prison olllcliils called him "tlio thief
catcher" ho wnti designated hy the con
vIctH under IiIh chargo, went IiIh iihuuI
rounds at midnight to inuko an tiiuu
ins dlHcovory.
Ho wnn cullod Old Trunty because
lio nuver rolnxed In IiIh duty iih guard
Ian of tho men In IiIh especial cub-
tody. Ho wan designated tho thief
catcher because, onco u convict made
nwny lioforo IiIh time wuh up, Dale
hunted him to tho cuiIh or tho earth,
hut ho found lilii iiiiui and brought
him hack to a douhlu sentence of
oxplatlon.
Now Dalo halted, caught at a Ioobo
iron door, Hushed IiIh lantern within,
and uttered a mullled word'
"Gono!"
Then he hlow the Mlgnal for tho
guard, meanwhile exploring tho Inte
rior of tho cell. Hy tho tlmo tho guards
had appearud ho wan out In tho cor
ridor again.
"It wan No. 921," ho repotted gruff,
ly. "You all Know him. Ho can't
liavo got far, for I O. K.'d him on tho
eleven o'clock round. After him!"
Then, tho guardn dispersing, ho
traced what had boon dono. A door
lmr Hawed through, that of tho corri
dor tower forced, a knotted rope mado
out of torn HtrlpH of sheets led down
from n window and froedom!
Moro tho umatod waH Itoliort Dalo

"I Juit Want to Rest for a Few Minutes."
ory. Ono of ItH pageB related tho his
tory of No. 921.
Eldrcd Warohaiu was his namo
a clerk in a big city bond houso.
Ho had embezzled Bomo hundreds of
dollars to invest in a rising Btock.
Thoro had cotno a slump. Ho had lost
And confessed. Ho had been given a
Bontcnco of flvo years. Thoro woro no
Antecedents. Tho young man appar
ently had no living relatives. Ho had
amo from tho country to fall a victim
to tho temptations of tho city.
Tho chaplain had taken a marked
fancy to tho lngcnuousfaeod, wall-bo-haved
prisoner. Warcham was always
attontivo to Ids oxhortatlons. His fol
lows sneered at his "conversion," yot
they all recognized his geutlo, accom
modating ways, and when ho was set
nt work In tho hospital ho was tho
tavorlto mireo.
"Ho won't go back to tho city,"
growled Dale. 'Tloyond that wo know
nothing concerning him. It will bo a
hard chase, but 1 will get him."
Thoso woro prophetic words, but
their fulllllmcnt was a long ways
ahoad. Tho guards found no traco of
tho fugitive. Through tho beet part
of a year Dalo mado many a Journey
to try to find tho only escaped convict
ho had not caught. It was of no avail
And tho champion thief catcher was
nottled and chagrlnod,
HIh promotion to under turnkey
somowhat moUlflod his disappoint
ment. Then, too, ho had ono soft spot
In his heart. Many a mile away, vis
itcd only occasionally through tho
years, but cherished, Idolized, his step
daughter lived u qulot, happy llfo In
a peaceful haven whoro ho had be
stowed her. She had boon llko a
real daughter to his dead wlfo tho
only golden thread in tho warp and
woof of his stern ltfo.
It was almost a yoar to tho day
after his cscapo that Eldrod Waroham,
pursuing a lonely country road,
pauBod boforo a typical cornors tav
orn. Twolvo months had a good deal
changed his appcarauco, duo mainly
to tho hirsute appendagos that well
covored his faco, Ho had become an
aimless wnudoror. Ho was footsore
and penniless. Ho entered tho placo
to find Its proprietor half asloep In his
chair.
"I Just want to rest for a few min
utes," was his plea and tho publican
nodded agreeably, for ho was glad of
company. Tho evident respectability
of tho casual visitor scorned to im
press him. After a fow moments of
dosultory study of Waroham ho spoko
out:
"I reckon you haven't much cash,
aor a Job?"
"You aro doubly right," was tho
blunt admission.
"I liko your appoaranco and ra&ybo
I can offer you something," procoodod
tho tavern keoper. "Hero's a queer
ciflo! About a weok ego a llkoly
young fellow caruo along on a farm
er's wagon. He got off to get a drink.
Tho morn ho got tho moro ho wanted.
Ho wouldn't go on to his destination,
wherever that might be. He's now
down with tho horrors In his room up
stairs. Wo called a doctor, but bo
suyH tho young fellow must havo led
a tcrrlblo life, for ho don't think ho'll
uvcr get up again. He had a pocket
full of money, hut no paper telling who
ho wna, Will you nurse him for good
pay?"
"I'll ho glad to do It for nothing,"
said Waroham eagerly.
Never was there a better nurse, but
the ministrations of Wareham proved
of no avail. Tho patient took a great
liking to Wareham. They became us
brothers, uud ho told him the story of
his llfo.
Ho had been a reckless, riotous fel
low from boyhood. Ho wan an or
phan and brought up by a high-church
dignitary In England. Tho love of
drink seemed born In him, ho hecutuo
a confirmed dipsomaniac ami dually
his uncle had cust him off. Ho told
him ho never wished to see him agnln,
and us a last chance ho gave Alan
Mooro u letter to an old friend, an
aged clergyman In America. If ho
behaved himself this man might look
after him. Mooro was provided with
money. Ho had fallen by tho way-
sldo and was now dying.
"I nm not going to llvo," ho de
clared; "bury mo without a nnnio."
Eldrcd Waroham was strangoly
drawn to his patient. Ho told his own
story. It drew them closer together.
When Mooro died Wareham saw to It
that ho wuh decently burled. Mooro
had told tho tavoni keopor to turn
over to Wareham what romalned of
his money. Ho had glvon to Waroham
some papers ho had concculed on hlB
person.
It was two yearn later when llobort
Dalo left his prison duttos for tho first
vacation of years. Ho was in fine fot
tlo. Ho was about to boo tho step
daughter ho loved and whom ho had
not seen for nearly throo years. Ho
carried In his pocket a notification
that on tho first of tho coming month
ho was to bo promoted to tho highest
ofllco at tho prison within tho gift of
tho state, ut a salary almost prlncoly,
Dalo arrived at Hopoton to bo
greeted Joyously by Mary Dalo. It
was tho third day aftor his coming
that a man passed tho houso at whom
ho stared with a start. Quickly ho
called his stepdaughter.
"Who is that man?" ho almost
gaBpcd.
"That Is tho assistant of our old
clergyman," said Mary, and sho
blushed furiously. "Oh, papa," sho
continued brcnthlosesly, "ho is tho
friend and helper of evoryono. Ho
camo horo two yoars ago. Ho docs
not preach, although ho takes half of
tho visiting duties off tho shoulders
of our minister. Ho is adored by tho
poor and friendless, ho 1b bolovcd by
ovoryono. And oh, papa I lovo him
wo aro engaged!"
Hobort Dalo mado an excuso to
shorten his visit. Ho kopt out of tho
way of this Alan Mooro, whom ho had
recognized as Eldrod Warcham. He
loft tho placo never to return and from
tho next town sont for Waroham, und
learned his story tho story of a re
formed man giving luster and glory to
tho namo of poor, outcast Alan Moore.
"Forgot mo and tho past you
shall novor bo troubled," asserted
Dalo.
Thou ho went back to his prison du
tlos. His first stop was to rofuBO the
promotion. His noxt to sturdily settle
hack Into tho rut of his inferior ca
pacity, sacrlllclng to a seneo of honor
his own preferment that two young
hearts might bo happy.

wonderful days hero in
Iicrlln. Beautiful sunshiny
duya llko spring. Tho day
when tho rumor camo that old Kink
Nicholas wanted pcaco was a glorious
day. Everybody was colobratlng a lit
tlo bit, nnd tho school children woro
given a day on. It Is not so bad to bo
a child In war tlmo, for thoy got so
many vacations, but think of tho poor
youngstora that follow and havo to
study tho cntiro history of this war,
writes Mary Ethol McAuloy In tho
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Tho Tlorgarton was packed with poo
plo and thousands of nails for tho Iron
Hlndenburg woro bolng sold. At Bran
donburger gato I saw tho crown prin
cess go by In an open carriage. Sho
was having an awful tlmo trying to
got her glovo buttoned. I had novor
Imagined that real princesses had
troubles of that kind. Sho is a lino,
handsome, big woman, bright and
clover, and much boloved.
Untor don Linden was ono stream
of flags and banners. Thoy looked glo
rious In tho bright sunlight, nnd tho
wind Bwlshed them every which way.
Tho Bulgarian flag Is very beautiful
red, whlto and a lurid shade of grocn
that makes ono think of spring.
Wo had our second breakfast in Cafe
Victoria. I liko this cafo. It is not in
tho least fashionable, in fact most of
tho frequenters aro inlddlo-aged Jew
ish people, who transact business over
a cup of coffeo. Selling diamonds
seems to be their chlot occupation.
Hut overyono tends to thoir own busi
ness, nnd foreigners aro not stared at
and mado to feel uncomfortable. Tho
windows aro so largo that you can sit
hero by tho hour and watch them go
by. Tlicm, of course, means tho sol
diers. In tho last few weeks I havo learned
a wholo lot about soldiers. I can toll
an underofllcer from a common soldier,
a sorgennt from a feldwobol, nnd a
leutnant from an obcrluutuaut. It
is not easy to learn, and took much
studying. But I llko brass buttons nnd
gold braid. Tho dress of tho German
olllccr Is so simplo and elegant that
Ucau Brummel would bo Jealous if he
tho bullets woro kept. Along tho top
of tho trench many bags of sand wore
piled, but thcro wero holes through
which tho soldiers could shoot Of
course, it was not a real trench, but
Just tho Bamo it gives ono a good idoa
of all tho cold and suffering that the
men In tho trenches must stand. In
tho field thoy havo hospitals right un
der tho ground, nnd hero tho first aid
to tho Injured is glvon.
Outsldo tho exhibition building, In
another part of tho trench lot, was a
display of wiro entanglements. Thoy
woro mado by a firm in nerlin, nnd 1
am Buro it would tako somo cutting tc
got past them. Tho most Interesting
part of tho wholo show was tho exhibi
tion of war posters from all Oormany's
enemies. Thoy had posters from
Franco, Italy und Kussla, but tho ones
from England wero tho most road.
Thoy woro all urging tho men to arma.
Besides tho poster show thoy had
many Interesting war pictures. Each
country had a section of pictures, and
Amorlcn was represented by photos of
Mr. Wilson, Mr. Ford, Mr. Edison and
Mr. Daniels. "Teddy" was not thoro.
Wo had our dinner in tho Paulancr-
brau, a now restaurant that was opened
boforo Christmas. It is a very nice
restaurant, nnd tho things to eat aro
very reasonable Among other things
I had two pork chops and potatoos and
thoy Just cost 30 cents. You can't do
any better than that in America.
Bathing la "Verboten."
Aftor dinner wo wont to Grunowalr-'
to a littlo inn wo know thoro. It wi
such a day, such a beautiful day! Th
sun sliono through tho trees. T(g
to tho Inn you must ilrst walk throu,t
a bit of forest, and after a littlo you
como to a littlo lako. It is a very pret
ty lako where bathing is "verboten."
Tho wnlk runs along tho lako and it
finally leads to a littlo hunting lodgo,
which looks llko a tiny castle. It has
many red-roofed towors and latticed
windows, and in tho center is a largo
court, which is decorated with many
doers' heads.
At tho other end of tho lako Is the
inn, which was packed, of courso.
Everybody was drinking coffeo and

Color plays a part so important in
the bridesmaids' gowns that taffeta

It comes in so many beautiful colors

DIFFERENCE IN LUNG POWER
Woman's Voice Requires Far Less
Force Than That That Must Be
Expended by a Man.
According to a scientific theory n
woman can talk longer than a man and
may do so becauso sho usob loss force
by a largo porcuntngo than a man
doos. A Gorman professor has proved
by actual and very dollcnto measuro-
montH thnt tho barltono slngor uses
far noro energy than either tenor or
soprano.
This profossor doclnred that tho
range of volco dlffors greatly, so tho
perccntago varies to tho samo oxtont,
but as a gouoral roBUlt It was proved
that a tenor uses only from ono sov
enth to ono-slxtoonth of tho lung
power of tho barltono or bass. Tho
difference In tho forco used by tho con
tralto and soprano Is very marked, and
tho contralto who sings in very deep
tones usos nt least ten times tho forco
of tho soprano.
Tho explanation Is so simplo that
It Is surprising that It was not thought
of long ago. It has long boon known
that tho tenor or soprano brings tho
vocal cords together and keops tho
edges vibrating only by tho emission
of air Tho bass or contralto leaves
tho spaco between tho chords wider
open, nnd has to vibrato much more
of tho membranes.

Caring for the Human Machine.
If you had an nutomobllo that was
your only means or gottlng about, and
that you could not undor any circum
stances roplaco with a now car In case
you should dlBablo It, you would take
tho greatoBt poaslblo care of it. Each
of us finds himself oxactly In that sit
uation in legard to the machlno wo
call tho human body; yot wo neglect
tho body moro or less, and BomotlmoB
abuso It outragoously. Wo expect It
to onduro nogloct, to withstand abuse,
and after years of hard usago to bo
In'sorvlceablo condition. Youth's Companion.
It la permitted, just enough to display
a Jewel.
Tho coiffure pictured Is a tamlltar
style of the type most fashionable
and Is shown as developed for eve
ning. Tho hair la marcelled and colled
ncross tho back of tho head Just ubovo
tho nnpo of tho neck. Throo short
curls aro pinned in below the coll.
An arrangement of tho hair in a
short French twiBt nt tho back sur
mounted by ono long puff suggests tho
roturn of tho psycho knot Tho front
hair is loosoly waved and parted at
tho mlddlo In a very shallow part.
This 1b a gracoful Btylo and becoming,
which ie moro than can bo said of
tho most popular of off-tho-faco coif
fures. Even to youthful faces thoy
aro somowhat trying nnd thoy lend
nothing of softness to older ones.
There Is a smnll wreath at tnc edge
with littlo roses set far apart. A big

Is perched at tho back. So quaint a

tho maid curries a basket of flowers
rather than a bouquet.
Tho return of tho always-loved big

high favor, should not bo ovorlookod

orals aro rather pompous looking, and
I find tho leutmuitd, nbcrloutnnnts,
oberarzts and hauptmann moro fetch
ing. Thoy nro all very hnndsomo and
they aro tho finest, elovercst men in
all this glorious, young Germany. They
stand so straight and look so soldierly.
After wo left tho cafo wo went to
boo tho exhibition of war things that is
being held at Zoological gardens. Thoy
havo c cry thing here that belongs to
war und a soldier. They havo a nura
'icr of captured cannon, nrltlsli,
French nnd Russian. They havo two
English nerbpluncts aud a number of
uiotorboats. They havo uniforms of all
'ho warring nations. Somo of tho cos
tumes wero very beautiful. Tho Bul
garian wero espoclally so, but thoy
wero almost too gay to bo very practi
cal. Tho models that woro tho unl
foims wero very funny Thoy havo
tmuds and foot of wooden dolls, but
their facos wero most realistic look
ing; Indeed, somo of them Boomed to
no winking at you.
Just Like a Heal Trench.
Outsldo tho main exhibition build
ing, on u largo lot, a trench hud been
built. It had been built by soldleis
that had been In tho war, bo It waa ex
actly llko tho real ones. You enter a
trench by going down Bteps, and this
ono was about seven foot high and
about threo foot wldo. Radiating from
all tho sides of tho main part of tho
trench wero other passages nnd rooms.
Tho ofllcera' room was, of courso, tho
finest. It wns lined with ennvas aud
cloth and was furnished with an old
couch, and some chairs. Iron lanterns
hung from tho celling and theso mako
both tho light and tho heat for tho
frenchmen. On tho wall hung a largo
Blgn, "Buttor ausverkauft" (butter sold
out). Empty tin cans woro also hung
on tho wall and thoy aro used for
matches, and cigars, etc.
Tho common soldiers had a larger
room, but not nearly so lino as this of
ficers' quarters. Every horo and there
on tho sldos ot tho main passagfe of tho
trench woro littlo cupboards, whoro

dlcrs, aud most of them ofllcera. It
was Just marvelous how many Ger
many damsels had managed to scrapo
up officers with whom to go walking
on this lino afternoon. Mont of tho
pcoplo had brought their cakes along
with them, and then ordered coffee.
This would not bo considered tuo
thing in America, but In Germany It
Ib in very good taste. , f ,.
When wo returned homo wcJciit by
nuothor way, and over on tho other
sldo of tho lake woro a number of Rus
sian prisoners sawing wood. A guard
was watching them from the- hill. Ho
was not stationed there to koop tlem
from escaping, but to keep them work
ing. Ono toldlor In our party wo had
a soldier, too asked them In Polish
how thoy liked Germany. "Oh, It Is
flno," thoy answered. iruch better
than Russia." They wanted to tnlk
more, but tho soldier on the hill shout
ed something and they all commenced
sawing as hard as thoy could.
In tho evening wo wont to a variety
show. Tho performanco was rather
poor, but tho largo theater was abso
lutely packed. Men composed half tho
audienco, and more than halt tho mon
wero Holdlors. Between tho acts orory
body paraded up and down tho corri
dor nnd drank beer. Somo of tho
hungry ones nto sausago sandwiches.
Tho show lasted until 11:30.
Tho noxt day all the flags woro
taken down, and Untcr den Linden
was dull gray stono onco moro. I
only hopo that I can bo on Unter den
Linden when peaco Is declared.
What We're Coming To.
"And," continued tho lecturer, "I
warrant you that thoro is not a man
in this cntiro nudlence who has over
lifted his linger or In any way at
tempted to stop this awful wasto of
our forests and our lumbor supply.
If thoro Is, I want that man to
stand up."
Thoro waB a slight commotion In,
tho rear of tho room, and a norvous
littlo man roso to tho occasion and
his feet.
"And now, ray friend, will you ex
plain in Juat what way you havo con
served tho forests of our nation?"
And with tho utmost gravity and sin
cerity tho littlo man said: "I havo used
