Telrphono 877 Member Andlt Bureau Circulation OUR LIFE SENTENCES a wonderful era, and it is doubtless true; but how much good does that do uJ if we are chained, either through force of circum stances or our own volition .to a treadmill? Whenever we devote ourselves more to the pursuit of things than to the enjoyment of them ; ' whenever we forget or are ! unable to take time to look for beauty, love, companion ship, recreation, whenever ' the prize grows to mean j more than the game then i we are wasting our capa- i bilities as tragically as any j lifer in the land. Freedom to live isn't just a matter of prison walls. There are other fetters as effective. The convict isn't the only man who deserves your sympathy. COPYRIGHT 1925 CI NEA SERVICE INC W ELEANOR EARLY $5 FINE FOR A $4 CAR MNOI'SIS Sybil Thorn, prominent In ItitMlon society, permit a ship-boai-tt acquaintance, Itichard Nua nce, to muke violent love to her. lie. finally dcks her to marry him. Sybil is on her way In Havana with Mabel make, a social work er, ltc-focc lulling she promised Craig Newhtill. considered the rnost desirablo hticheUr ill llos- ton. a decision upon her return. Craig love her devoutly anil there Is a sort ot engagement between them. To please her dy ing father Sybil had consented to marry Craig, but following Mr. Thome's death the affair aas kept secret, and no announce ment had been made. Sybil still believes hcrseif In love with John Lawrence. wln went to Franco with the A.K.F. when she was only IS and never returned. The marriage of her brother. Tad. adds to Sybil's worries, for she distrusts the pretty little girl he has wed. In order Ihcu to unravel her perplexities, she goes to Cuba and encounters Itichard Kustis. who proceeds to make life more complicated. to Jesse Pomeroy, America's most famous lifer, has just completed the 52nd year as an inmate of the Massachu setts state penitentiary. In 1876 he was convicted of a crime so atrocious that even today he gets little sympathy. He was ordered imprisoned for life; and, strangely enough, he has clung to life so tenaciously ever since, even though he has never fpr a moment known any surroundings ex cept the prison yard and cell. When he entered prison Grant was president, Mark Twain was just winning re n tj w n. Rockefeller was a small-time oil broker. Ford was an undistinguished son of "a farmer. Custer's defeat at, Little Big Horn was the news of the day. The auto mobile and moving picture and radio had not yet come to remake American civiliz ation. All of the stupendous events of the last half cen tury have made no impres sion whatever on Jesse Pom eroy. He has eaten and slept and grown gray and wrin kledyet, to all intents and purposes, he has not been aliye t all. We can't think of that, somehow, without a shiver. We congratulate ourselves on' the mere fact that we have our liberty and can live fully and with freedom and we pity the man who has been stagnating for the last half a century. Yet just how free are we, after all? How many of us are being overlooked by life just as truly as if we were held in priscn? The tragedy of the lifer lies in the fact that all his possibilities for real living can never be realized. Made in. God's image, endowed with some small spark of unquenchable divinity, he is reduced to the bare animal functions of digesting and sleeping. This is the most terrible thing that can hap pen to any man. ' But it happens to many people who never saw a prison. The drudge in a New Bedford cotton mill striv ing to raise a family on $18 a week; just how rich a life do you suppose he man ages to live? Does he ever 'et a chance to demonstrate that he is heir of all the nges? Does his fellow work er, the half-starved Penn sylvania coal miner? Does the New York clerk, cooped up by turns in a dreary of fice and a stifling flat? Does the offspring of city slums, the north woods lum berjack, the back country farmer whose sterile acres plunge him yearly deeper .into debt? , We say we are living in It takes a wise man be a judge these days. The other day a man was brought into court in New York for violatfttg a traffic law. The judge imposed a fine of $5, at which the mo torist remarked that he would, prefer, - instead of paying it, to surrender his car. Amazed, the judge ask ed him why. The man re plied that he hud only paid $4 for the auto, a wheezy old thing made eight years ago. Justice is justice, and the law must be upheld; but paying a $5 fine on a $4 car is too much. Even the judge admitted it. So after due thought, he suspended the line and told the motor ist to depart in peace if he could make his auto go. CHAI'TKIt xv Mornings are drilling thins lu Havana. The sun shone on castles and forts aud houses of rainbow hue. It sparkled on the autre sea. and the colored boats that rode the waves. Sybil and Mabel stood at Die rail, spellbound with the beauty of it. And. when they had caught their breath, they laughed ulond for very Joy. Natives put out In bjats to greet them, and sudors on the lower deck scrambled for little Jealous!" he sUhed. and begun esplorlng his pockets. "I've a liltlu trinket somewhere. Ah, here we are.'" lie held up a pair of long ear rings. Little golden discs strung on end. "Oh. they're beautiful!" Sybil reached for them eagerly, uud when she held them in the dua lling light they sparkled like dis tilled sunshine. "I.tiyjly, lovely things!" she cried. Where-tlld you get them, .ItlrhV "Come for a walk." he Invited, I "and I'll tell you." He took her arm possessively. "We're going up on the boat deck, Mub. See you here when we come back?" "See that you come back!" she admonished him curtly. "Mallei's awful upset because I didn't go to bed last' night," explained Sybil as they sauntered off. "I don't blame her either. She feels sort of responsible, you see." "Never nilnd Mub!" he ex claimed. "How , about getting married this morning?" "Oh, Itichard. stop!" They were on the deserted up per deck, and when he tried to take her lu his arms, she pushed him petulantly away." "For goodness sake," she cried, "let's talk about something else!" "But, a darling." he insisted, "you love me! And love and marriage are twins lu your sweet mind, child." "No, I don't either." she-Informed him coolly. "At least I don't think I do. And, anyhow. he's mora patient than yol would ever be, and tenderer, nml inurtfj depemtahlo." I "How do you know I'm not pu tient, and tender and depend able? Oh. Sybil, give me a, chance!" "And break his heart?" i "How about mine?" "You aald. yourself, the world Is full of girts that are ulcer and prettier and .smarter than I am. i ,tio pi.-k yourself a knockout , and good luck to you. Hich. j You're wonderful at tnuklng love. Hut you'd make n rotten hus band. You even admit It. Now. please " shs regarded him so tcrcly "the whole thing's over .and we won't talk any more about it." - Mabel was cotnlug ti Join them. "I'm sick and tired," she rmnplalued. "of being deserted. The way you two run off! You pughr to hear, tile things people re saying about you." Itichard was holding Sybil's liand. pressing her fingers, one after the other, idly, r "Sybil!" he exclaimed, "that sapphire circlet! I never saw it before."- "I don't believe I've ever woru It." she explained. 'l d.tn't par ticularly like It. Why do you?" "It's the very thing." he an nounced, "for a wedding ring. . Hero, dear let me have It." I "Itichard Kustis, are you mail!" "Mad!" he cried. "Q!i. very. very mad. my darling!"

I VALUE OF BOXERS Tex Rickard tells his stockholders in Madison Square Garden corporation that the passing of the million-dollar gate for prize fights is not such a bad thing after all. Tex points out that box ers, of recent years, have been making scads of money while promoters have been going broke. Now that .mil lion dollar gates are over, he feels that boxers will take a much saner view of, the value of their services. The moral aspects of the thing didn't concern Rick ard, apparently. Yet the new era is better, all around for it "was not a healthy thing for a country to be re warding pugilists at the rate of half a million dollars per fight. It gave us all a false sense of values. If the hired pug can drop down a few notches in the financial scale it will be better for all of us. o The old boy who says women aren't as attractive as they used to be might add that watermellons and green peaches have lost their appeal also. o When we write our sce nario, the hero who knocks out fourteen rogues won't continue the picture with unbruised knuckles. o The writers never go on strike.
