'. -By JAina IHAPP EEEVE, (Ovrrlthv, UMl, by Amarleaa Pra Anaoclay CHAPTER HI Oirden Coalmen mm probably no bet ter and no worm thnn other men, mid u had never preaeuetl a lilU standard of ftioraltty for th eitldiinoe of other. II M oonrut to Ukit meu ami tiling a h found them. Yet he f'U a Strang lepngnauce when th nomvity preeent d Itself of gii)rf to thin wronan' hona. Already b had aaeoriated hor in hit mind with Oeortfo' downfall, and at tit chief cause thereof; and At the cane likewise of U dtryrrar that had. emu vpon theta all. Toward the wotuau her elf h full a dull aner, mora becau h had crossed th cln, whit path way of Una Tounanta lif than for ancht viae. . II expecte-t to And her coarse and loud and probably insolent. He would mak hi bnsiuee brief and be don with her. "I don't think I shall dotata yon long, he Mid at our when ah cam into the room wher h waitd. "I am OtMen Omimws, and I have com to mak yon a plain statement and a proposal, brother in in prison and mainly thronxh you. (At this th wnnisn demurred by a negative jreatur and tried to speak, but Coalmen stopped hor.) It i my purpose to have him released, if It can be accouipHshed, a toon a possible, but only opon on condition." At thin the woman looked np curiously and he continued: "That coudition I that ther ahall never be any chance of hi meeting yon again. If yon content to thin I am willing to pay you well, more than you could possibly mak out of him," he added sneeriugly, "And if I do not couseotr "Then I (hall hav to cease my effort for hi release." "Too are very hard," she whimpered. "I car o much for Uiw, and then never to aee him attain." "Stop," aaid Chalmers. "I 'will not lieten to inch stuff. You cared for him for th money you could get out of him, and I tell yon that i at an end now." "Yon don't believe, then, that I conld care for him disinterestedly as an boneet woman would eay a Mit Ten nan t would!" Chalmer flushed indignantly at thl use of Hi Tennaut'a name. "W will not discuss that lady," he aid briefly. "You may not 1 will," said the worn an defiantly. "I have en her; he i very beautiful 1 grant you that; and ah think she care for him. Out she did not know how to keep him by her, and if h knew of me she would never forgiv him. That i how ahe can. But I would forgiv him everything." "I told yon that I would not uisous that," aaid Chalmer. "I will mak you a proposal If yon will go to Eu rope at once and atay there, yon thall be paid five thoueand dollars every year. But if yon ever come bock, if yon hold any intercourse with him, if you M ' him know wher yon are, this shall stop and at once. I want to make sure thai he will never tee you again. Do you consent" There was perhap a needles brutality In Chalmer' word and manner, and there waa an angry gleam In her eye a ah answered; "You make very hard conditions, but I will do it for bis sake." "Put it a you will," answered her companion coldly, "only so that you do it. It is settled, then?' She nodded at him by way of reply. "Very well, then," he said, riaiug to go. "My lawyer will call on you in the morning and complete all arrange ments." . From there Chalmers went at once to Lina Tennant', feeling the while that it was almost a crime to go from so un clean a presence into the circle of her pure life. She met him, and put out both her bands impulsively. Be took them in his and held them just an instant, but long nongh for the girl to become conscious . of the intensity of his clanp and for that consciousness to mirror itself in her face. "I shall go to Columbus tonight," he aid. "I came only to tell you that. I hav done what 1 could today, but am afraid it is not much." Then he told her what be had done. That he had seen Rodney and some other of the director of the bank. That he had also conferred with George' attor neys; had called upon some old and In fluential friends of his own and secured letters to the governor, which he should present In person tomorrow. Not very much, but Chalmers encouraged hor to hope for the best. After he hod finished this recital, dur big which it required bit utmost cau tion to avoid any reference to Leonie or to her part in George's trouble, he said to her; "Last night you told me that you were still ready to marry him. If I have no success, and he must remain there bis full time, will you wuit for him and marry him then?' It was a cruel question, but the girl did not flinch. "I will if he wishes it, I promised him that," she answered readily. "And you said last night," ho con tinued, "that you would do this because you knew he had not meant wrong. If he had been roally wicked, a criminal at heart, would you then marry hlnii" "I don't see how we can know that any man is wicked at heart," said the girl slowly. "But if you mean, 'If he ' had done this from base or sordid motives, if he had taken this money meanly and used it for low purposes' if you mean that, I can answer you. J conld never marr) one who had willfully forfeited his claim to my respect. George ha not done that." It was bard to keep his peace when he said that. With a word he culd hatter every tie that bound her to him, that linked her future with the future of this man who had proved himself so unworthy of her; and if loosed from him and from this false idol thut she had set np in her heart and endowed with every manly and virtuous attribute (as womon do endow all men whom they endow likewise with their love), would there j. i 1.1 i ....... t.:... ...., DOb 1U MIUB U It ClimiUH lur mill Ml uu that which he had hoped for so Iour ago? He could not help obUIiik himself these things, although never for ti mo ment did it really occnr to him that lie might thu play his brother false, to the better accomplishment of his cwn end; and if it bod, and if he had dune so, vould it have profited him? ld twv woman ever learn to think kindly of th on who unmasked to her her own de lusion! "W will do our best," aid Chalmer, breaking th silenc that bad fallen botweeu them, "to put Oeorg speedily back in th world and among men again, wher b may hav th chano to make a new place for hlmlf." "Don't (peak aa If he had lost hi plac In th world," answered Mis Ten nant impatiently, "II ha mad a tingl uilstak. Many niu mak a down, do they not And because they happen not to oom to th surface, to th knowleihra of the world, they do nut count Oil, I do believ tits world think it lees of a crime to commit crime than to be discovered in it!" "I am afraid you ar gelttug worldly wise," answered Chalmer. -"Them I too much truth in what you aay. But if he I discovered, the inexorable fact remain that he must go to tit wall. A man take hi chance; Uoorg ha taken hi and lost." "No, you muat not say that. Yon must not let him think it. I ahall not. If h were here It should be Just thetam with n aa it ha been in th past. 1 would not let htm see that I knew any difference." II did not say to to hr, but Chalmer wondered if her courage would holdout, and if it did, and her pride sustained her to the end, would not th effort b to great that it would kill her love? Doubtless she loved him well enough to do this, but would th kv him to well after it waa dime? Up to a certain point women like to suffer for their lovj be yond that? Under other circumstance he would hav liked to pursue this meta physical problem. CHAPTER V. "Do you ear for aerf" Chaliuer found th governor in hi comfortable offic in th capitol, and introduced himself, presenting the let ter which explained bit taurines. Th governor looked them over carefully and patiently. . "I am sorry yon hav com to me, Mr, Chalmers," he said finally. "I can do nothing for yon. I am familiar with th case," he added, a Chalmer wa about to interpose, "and my personal sympa thies are always with a young man in bis first offense." ! After a moment be continued: "It i beyond my province to advise you; but I hate to see a man, in whom ther it doubtless much good, condemned to inch trml destroying plac aud fellow ship. I would be glad to help you, if 1 could to give him another chance be fore it t too late. lias every legal re source been exhausted!" 'Ye. I thought of that first. Noth ing seem to hav been neglected or left undone by my brother's attorney." "Then I fear you can do nothing bat submit. The term of sentence wa ten year; good conduct, yon know, will shorten it to about eight That 1 not to long when on looks back," aaid th governor musingly. "It U eternity when one look for ward to passing it in hell." The steadi ness of Chalmers' manner was in marked contrast to the vehemence of bis word. "You seem to have a poor opinion of our system," said the governor, looking at him with new interest "I know nothing of it," answered Chalmers shortly, "I admit there i room for improve ment," said the governor confidentially. "I am making a st udy of the matter. I mean to accomplish tome reforms there during my term. Now you are going to see your brother. Keep your eyes open, and after that come and see me again and let me have your sugges tions." The sympathy of the man and the in dividual had given way at once before the ambition of the politician, anxious to mark his administration with a "re form" thut would attract the public olamor. Chalmer saw that nothing could be gained here. He went next to the prison. The brothers met in the offic of the warden, The elder studied to make the interview free from restraint and as though they were meeting on common ground. But he could not shut his eyes to those horrid stripes that wound round and round his brother' form the badge of crime and servitnd. This wo almost th worst of it that not for a moment could they blot out this oculur evidence of th Impassable gulf between thorn, "1 am sorry, George," said Chalmer, after a firm clasp of the hand, "that 1 could not have been with you sooner. I learned of it only three days ago at New Orleans'." " "Have you been to Cleveland?" "Yes. I want there first to see what could be done." "Then you know the whole story?" For an answer the elder brother nodded without looking up. "Does Lino, know?" This time the other shook his bead, trat he looked straight at the younger man and replied by another question: "Do you care for her?" "Why, of course, old man; but that' all np now, and there's no reason why you shouldn't go in and win, if yon still want to," . Chalmers studied his brother in curi ous surprise. There was a certain rough ness and carelessness in his tone and manner that he had never observed in him before that he had certainly not expected to find now. And he noticed a weakness abont the mouth and the low er lines of the face that was wholly new to him, This wa not a sudden or vivid expression, but came in as a sort of un dercurrent to his thought, At first it did not occur to hint that he had never seen his brother' face before since he had reached manhood free from the heavy beard that he had always worn. But the prison discipline was a leveler in this as in all things else, He won dered if hi face would look aa weak if be should becom a eonvtol and hav hi beard shaved off aud hi hair cropped. B ignored hi broth.' last word. "I hvbeen trying to do something for yon, h aaid, "but am afraid I hav tailed to far. t hav J nit com from th governor." "Ob, yon can't do anything ther, 1 oouldbav told yoa that lit aud old Rodney an hand in glov. Did yoa at Bodntyr "Y." "He' a wily old foxi bH block yoa t vry tap. "1 found h would not help at. Can yoa inggttt anything? 1 catnt how to gt yoa out of tola If it can be don," "I know bat on way. Monty doe X'llng her, or at least will 11 yon do yourself. Two fellow wnt out over th wall last night" Ilia brother' ready acceptanc of bribery a affording him poatibl mean of aoapa did nut turprjtt Chal mers mor than th with which b tewed to havo dropped into prltoa way and xprtMiona. Wa thl a proof that th governor wa right when ha tatd lb plac wa oul destroying? Wonld he hav lowrd hit standard to raadtly under th sain conditions? Ht looked at hit brother again more closely, Thtr wa certainly a lank of character in th Uprwaioa of th month and ehia. Yel it bad alway been ald that th two war aUangely allk.. As boy, notwith taodiiur th differeac in their ag, they had often been mistaken for on another. "1 don't believ that 1 tht bttt way," ht ald Anally, aa though ht had bn reflecting on hit brother' tuggettiou. "If th only way, I tell you," an swered th other bnpatie&Uy. "I have been her long enough to m that But if you mind th money" "I dont mind th money; I think you know that I am ready to spend my last dollar to help you oat of this, and then w can begin lif again together, Perhap if we had kept oleter togvtnar this would not hav happened." "I dont know; I gnet I waast cut oat to walk qnlta a (tralght u yoa," returned th other carelessly. "Well, w wont talk of th past Let u tee what w oaado for thefutur," "If yoa ar going to do anything, 1 bop it will be toon. I can't ttay bar forever. I am tired enough of th plac now." "I must hav) Urn to think. Ther moat b torn way. Prhap 1 (hall try the board of pardon, At any rata ! shall not desert you; I will b her again toon." "Yoa will And ther it bat on way. Money I th only key that will unlock thl plac," They wer ttandtng np now, and Chat met noticed that they war J oat tht taint height and teemed to hav abont th taint tpread of cheat and ihonldar. Again h wondered if they would (till look allk in that drew, and both cleanly haven. And thl thought took root and grew, Q had had his chance at lif, and had mad preelou littl of it Why not give th ohanc now, such at rtmaioed of it, to Oeorg, and let hint try it over? Tharc wa no reason why tola could not U don; it would b simpl enough to ar range th details, and though h had tried to tncourag Oeorg with th bop that he could yet tecnr bit release, he could e no other way in which it could be accomplished.

In our own opinion the uao of "common form" jocularities is most offensive In thono who think of them as wit, though most painful in per sons who use thorn unconsciously and as mere methods of expressing their meaning. We feci that those who try to force a laugh out of such ex. prerwions as "my downy couchf or "committing matrimony," who squirm into a smile as they ask if "there isn't room for a little one," or who speak of "japanning their trot ter cases," might fairly be shot at sight When some excellent mother of a large and heavily facetious family catches np and uses almost uncon sciously suoh phrases as "getting outside a square meal," "the olerk of the weather," "she's no chicken," or "put on your warpaint," and when even the father mechanically talks of "performing his ablutions," the sense of pathos overcomes all others.
