(WNU Service) / X - F OR almost a year he had been No. 14357; now he was Larry Lane again and the train was speeding him southward to where he knew she waited for him. She had promised.,to wait, even in her last letter, which he again duew from his pocket, she had called Him “a naughty, impulsive boy, yet one well worth waiting for.” He was tilled with glorious antici pation. There seemed a small chance that she had heard of his unexpected pardon, several months before his term was up. What a surprise she would get when he walked in! “Where to now. Lane?” He flinched as a heavy hand was placed on his shoulder. He glanced upwards to see Bill Ward, brightest star of the most relentless detective bureau in the state. Well, what of it? He was free again, d—n Ward. “Hello, Ward. It’s none of your business, hut I’m going home.” “Pretty lucky, weren’t you?” sneered the detective. “What’s it going to he ne>:t time—forgery or just a sim ple stick-up?” “Nothing, at all. I’m through,” de- declared Lurry resentfully. Ward threw back Ids leonine head and laughed loud and long. “Listen, Bill.” snapped Larry, “I don’t give a d—n whether you be lieve it or not. I paid for what I did —I’m square again and I’m going to keep that way. You mark my words.” Bill Ward smiled down into the /face but slightly marked with prison pallor. “Don’t get sore. There’s no one wants to see you go straighter. Here, I’ll prove it. The Hnyden-Curr people are sending a crew down to the Argentine tomorrow. 1 happen to know they need a man like you. It will mean a stake for yon. Go fcee Hayden ^nd tell him I sent you. You’d better go right from the train. Is that playing fair?” Larry softened. “Thunks. Bill. 1 appreciate it a lot hut 1 don’t believe Virginia would like it. She wants to stay here.” Ward frowned slightly as he real ized the meaning of Lane's remark. “Larry,” Ward’s voice' was almost pleading. “Do you realize what you are letting her in for? Can you bring her happiness? Do you think the ‘ex- convict’ will ever die out? Every day you’ll he fearing the^ast. How do you think she'll like that ? How would you like to have your kids pointed out? Boy, if you lovje her, grab that job and bear it. She’s young, slie’ll forget you; it won’t hurt half ns much as. to he called ‘Mrs. Ex-Con’.” The world seemed to shut down on • Larry, to hem him in more suffocat ingly than had the grim, gray walls of the prison. A terrible doubt -en tered Ids heart; perhaps Bill was right. MrS.^ Ex-Con”—God. it was terrible! What was it Bill had said? —“if you love Irer. grab that Job— she’s young, she’ll forget—” But could she forget?” The Daylight Limited roared into the yards. With a “Good-by and good luck. Remember what I said!” Bill moved forward to get hig\ bag, leaving Larry staring unheedingly through the window. The porter touched him on the arm. /“This Is yo‘ station, sar. Yo’ bag is on the plat form.” He didn’t stop to telephone but leaped into a waiting taxi and snapped an address to the driver. Once he saw her he knew his doubts would be swept away. There was a car parked before her door. He restated the thought of a visitor, despeifafc^y wanting her to he alone for the Surprise. He mo tioned back the maid who opened the door and stepped into the familiar lialh- As had been his habit he glanced down the length of the thickly car peted entry through the open door of the library. She was there, but ins heart stopped heating and he had to grasp,the newel post for support. She was curled up in the depths of a leather chair, smiling happily up at the tall, per fectly groomed man who stood before her. There was no mistaking the - pleasure that shone from her eyes. The man looked clean, honorable, up right ; there was no ‘ex-con” about him. The sqpt of man who could make her happy. So Ward was right. What had he said? The Argentine? He’d have to see them right away. Perhaps he could forget, too. in the Argentine. A coward would say good-by, in wardly hoping for some sign that would allow him lo renege; it takes a brave man to turn away when hap piness is within his reach. He turned and groped for the door. At the click of the latch the tall man turned expectantly toward the hallway, ceasing his conversation. As no one was in sight, he .again faced the girl who had half risen at the Interruption. “Nothing,” he said, “just some one leaving the house. As I was saying, now that Lane Is free again lie has learned his lesson. I, too, am posi tive that lie will go straight and make you a fine husband. “As you say. lie will probably come here directly from the prison. When he arrives explain Hint the position I am offering him is a good one and that no mention of Ids mistake will ever lie made. I am doing It for you because as my favorite niece, you ask it. Perhaps he had better uot find out that part. I’ll leave now for he is due at any minute.” - Beasts Once Summoned Before Judicial Courts Among curious legal cases before the courts, few bear comparison with those recorded in bygone days, when suits were really heard against the lower creation, says the Law Journal of London. While it is difficult to sup press merriment over the quaint ideas of our ancestors, regarding the culpa bility of animals, there is no doubt that the trials were viewed seriously. The warrant for holding animals amenable to the law appears to have been taken from the Judaic law: “If an ox gore a man or woman that they die. then the ox shall be surely stoned and his Resh .shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.” Following this command Moses pro ceeds to enforce the doctrine of the responsibility of the owner of a dan gerous animal and to insure his due punishment in the event of his witting ly allowing a harmful beast to run loose. These injunctions, therefore, which sound so strange today, were pursued more or less to the letter in medieval Europe, and, extraordinary though it may seem, in France and other European countries animals in general were held to he amenable to law until the middle of the Eighteenth century. By the old law of France, If a vi cious animal killed a human being and It was proved that the owner knew of its propensity' to attack peo ple and suffered the b§ast to be at large, the owner as well as the ani mal was hanged. WE’VE HEARD THAT KIND The earnest 'local organizer called ; the home of one of the villagers. “Ah. Mr. Jones!” lie said. “I’ve •ailed to ask if you’ll sing at the con- vrt we are holding next week in aid f the hospitals. What kind of a voice have you?” “Well.” returned Jones, with little enthusiasm, “I've got what you might , ;t'l an electric voice.” “And what kind of a voice is that?” asked the puzzled visitor. “When you hear it you’ll have a shock,” came the reply.—London An swers. Blood Combination That Has Bred Moron People The name “Jackson Whites” prob ably was formed from the words jacks and whites, a jack being a hybrid. The Jackson Whites of New Jersey are a mixture of negro. Indian and white blood, showing all possible combina tions of the traits of these three races. The historical records of the subject show that a number of the freed slaves settled In the Ramnpo mountains, where they were joined by occasional whites of very low standing from the surrounding communities. Just how the Indian blood is to be ac- coifhtcd for-is uncertain. One theory is that some of these freed slaves were Indians, as it is a well-authenticated fact that at one time some Indians were held as slaves. Another theory is that these were Indians who joined this group of people just as the low- grade white people joined them. As far as mentality goes the average mental age is from nine to ten years. In other words, these people are practi cally all of the moron level of intelli gence.—Washington Star. ~ Fascinating Word The word “kaleidoscope” is orth- ographically fascinating, almost alpha betically picturesque. It is no won der, then, that “kaleidoscopic” is a favorite adjective with* critics, jour nalists, and other writers. Some times it ; ,is well used, but often its precise meaning is forgotten or neg lected. The definition given in Web ster’s new international dictionary re minds one of the popular children’s toy: “An instrument invented by Sir Da vid Brewster, which contains loose fragments of colored glass, etc., and reflecting surfaces so arranged that changes of position exhibit its con tents in an endless variety of sym metrical varicolored forms. Its fig ures have been much employed in arts of design.” Slow to Recognize America On February C, 3778, signatures woke affixed to a treaty of commerce and a treaty of amity and alliance be tween France and the United States. The definitive treaty between the United States and England was signed at the end of 1783. Although Fred erick the Great wrote Franklin that he probably would soon follow Francq in recognizing Hie United States .in 1778, no recognition was extended un til about 17Sfi. A treaty of peace and commerce was signed with the Neth erlands In September, 1785. A treaty of peace and friendship was signed by Morocco in January, 1787. A treaty had been signed with Sweden in April, 1783. Russia did not recognize Hie new country or send a diplomatic reprerentative until 1809. Fly Plague in Eastern Lands Flics of death must swarms of east ern flics he to Hie people of tiiose oth erwise heaven-blest lands, where sani tation is still almost unknown, and proper drainage is yet frequently ab- r eat. It speaks eloquently for the dis ciplined care of old Rome for the coun tries it conquered, that in Hie New’ Testament the annoyance and dangers of swarms of flies are so little in evi- dence, although the malaria so fatal to those who spent their summers in 'itoirre itself, according to many writ ers, watt tro doubt spread very consid erably if not mainly by mosquitoes and ether fly pests. •Stag Hunting -a* ‘‘Sport” *dag hunting lias been a popular sport among Hie upper classes Pn Eng land for almost a thousand years. -Sir Walter Scott began Ids famous nar rative poem, “The Lady of the Lake,” with the opening line (hinting -of a stag hunt to follow): “The stag at eve had drunk his fill.” The matter of its cruelty may be open to debate, but it is beyond dispute that stag hunt ing has had a prominent place in Eng lish life and literature for centuries. He Had Her Number Bobby’s father raised purebred cat tle. One day a woman from the city • came to visit. Bobby watched her closely. When his mother went to the kitchen for refreshments, he followed her out, and exclaimed excitedly, “Mother, is Mrs. Blank a full-blood?” “What makes you ask such a quest- tion?” ids mother demanded. “Well, look when you go back in there, and you will see that she has tags in her ears!”—Exchange. WEATHER BLAMED ( ✓ “How much the baby looks like its father.” “It’s only Hie weather. The child is usually bright, cheerful and kand- some. Common Fault The lecturer asked his little girl' if she liked his address, and she said “No.” “Well, what did you like—the first part?” “Yes.” “Did you like the lust part?” “Yes.” “Well, what part didn’t you like?” “Oh,” said she, “there was too much middle.”—Christian Register. Ask Dad, He Knows “They didn't know anything about overtime parking wherf you were young,” remarked the youth who had found a ticket on ids cur. “No?” said the old-timer with him. “Well, you're wrong, but the parking was on the hair-cloth sofa and your girl’s old man played the part of traffic cop.”—Cincinnati Enquirer. A Wilt as Good as a Will A passerby stopped to watch an old man in his garden weeding. “Which weeds do yon consider the eas.iest to kill?” he asked. “Widow’s weeds,” answered the old man. “You only have to say ‘wilt thou,’ and they wilt.” — Bystander (London). cont:ngent sb lie—Marry r.:e, dear?
