CHAPTER XXIII,
The oourt refused Dave a new trial;
probably, as Trask said to Jerry, ant
would have done so anyway, but after
Michael Scanlan's vie:cnt act the re
fusel was a foregone concluslion.
"Just from the point of view of his
eon's interest, it was the worst tiling
he could possibly have done," Trask
observed regretfully. "The chances
of ever getting a pardon have shrunk
a hundred per cent. In the mind of
any governor the father; act will
create a presumption against the son,
and will confirm the idea that he's a
dangerous man. Scanlan is the veosins
of a most unfortunate chain of
events."
"Yes," Jerry adniitted, "I don't
Fee that there's any use in trying to
do more for him now."
"It would only prejudieo hie chances
later. All you can do for him is to
go and see him once in a while, anti
keep him cheered up."
It was not easy' to keep Dave cheer-
ed
up. Jerry paid the monthly visits
that were permitted and sat with
Dave in the guard -room for the allot-
ted hour. Each visit renewed and
strengthened his liking for his old
friend, his belief in him, and his sor-
row for him.
Dave's grief over his father's end
seemed quite to have supplanted pity
/:or himself, and to have increased the
weight of his remur-o. There were
tear$ in his eyes when he talked about
his father to Jerry. "He was a good
dad once—he always would have been
if things had gone right and he
hadn't taken to the bottle. And what
he olid at the end he never would have
Hone but ler me. He was plumb
crazed, Jerry; I drove him to it."
"•I dent think you need to feel
that," Jerry answera'cl, "Set your •
face to the futu"•e, Dave; you'll lee
coming out :ome time, you know; and
do what you can :visile you're stere so
that it won't all be time wasted."
"I know; that's what I've said to
myself. But honestly 1 don't Ire -
Bete I've got the stuff in me. If it
was only a year or two years, or even
three, I might stick it out and
amount to something at the end; but
twenty—"
"It' -r pretty stiff, but you'll see it
through. Just keep saying to your-
self, 'Some day 1.11 be corning out and
i've got to be ready,' and don't think
how long a time it may be.—It's easy
to talk, Dave. I'd beep you «any oth-I
er way if 1 cools."
"I know you would, Jerry. Your
talk does help."
Jerry looked at the others seated in
the semicilcle 'before the offioer'.s!
table. It was like a schoolroom, with
tete pupils all culprits and the teed -ter,
arse whose aim was not to teach but
sanely to intimidate and control. The

b There are many reforms which

They are reforms for which women
]r. are plainly responsible. No one has
a better right than women to take
a- full charge of every form of legisla-
ad tion affecting children. Baby web
fare as a national requirement, in -
d stead of a local manifestation of san-

_ of recos'struttion that leads straight
d to the doors of women at home to-

The establishment of a national

1 HAPTER XXIV,
After Michael Seanlaree death
Nora and her mother did not retain
the rooms in which they lied beer
living. Nora's inheritance made i
passible' for them to seek a mor
agreeable neighborhood, and in a
quiet and respectable ttreef of sura
brick houses they found a haven such
ass they desired. It was one flight up
and extended all the way througl
from the sitting -room with a ba
window and rubber plant to a hed
room that looked tout upon au af:an
thus tree and a clothes -line. The
landlady furnished meals in the front
room on the first floor, where a can-
ary swung and sang in its. cage. There
were no other hoarders; the land-
lady—from whom, of course, their
history could not be concealed—pro-
ved to be :sympathetic rather than
censorious; and she was so consider-
ate as not to advertise the identity of
her ledgers—except to a few intimate
friends, who hovered-a.beut forside-
long glances at them and spread
throughout the neighborhood the news
of the interisting arrivals at 21
Gurney Street
Jerry carne necasionally to eon
them, Mrs. Scanlan was very much
broken by her sorrows and had failed
in health as well as in spirit. The
personality that had once been so
dominating had become almost negli-
gible. She seemed always to be sit-
ting idly, submissively, in the bay
window beside the rubber plant, and
looking down the street with a.pathetit•
eyes.
Nora had not yet decided what sire

no urgent need for her to dao anything,
but elle felt, so •she said to Jerry, that

pathetically.
He spoke of Dave to her and of his

her pretty Balk brows, a thinning of
her gentle Cips,

Lo gi"e up for nothing, A11 the vis
lages on the mail road from Rheims
eastward are more or less intact, for
the fighting there was at trio close
quarters to enable either side to use
heavy guns, They all showed traces
of repeatei struggle from street to

Pitted by Bullets.
Every wall of every house or in
closure is pitted by machine -gen bul
lets and by ,grapnel. Long stretches
of wire before the trenches is almost
intact, running through streets or
crating between houses to stark the
line where the Germans were still at
close grips with the French two days
ago. Streets and roads are lacerated
by earthworks, and in ninny places
upheaved by mines, and impassable.
The work of destruction done by the
enemy in his hurried flight was in -
comparatively Ices than that of else-
where, 'for it had long ago been al-
most complete.
The cathedral has been reduced to
a ruin under the bombardment of the
lust four years. The walls are stand-
ing, but there are great holes in them,
as well as in the ceiling. The towers
of the cathedral appear front a dis-
tance to be intact, but a closer inspec-
tion reveals gaping shell holes, broken
columns and large detached pieces of
stone that hang in midair as if held
in suspense by some invisible force,
here and there a fragment of a
detail of the exterior ornamentation
remains to enable future visitors to
perceive what a glory the building
must once have been. A hasty in-
spection gives the impression that
the cathedral can never be complete-
ly restored.
Largest French Town Destroyed.
St. Remi, the oldest church in
Rheims, begun in the sixth century,
and restored in the early days .01 the
eleventh, has sugered camparativoly
little from the high explosive projec-
tiles. In this cera the Germans re-
sorted to a shorter method of fire.
Afi:er. the defeat they suffered in the
Chateau -Thierry salient in July, the
Germans sent a few incendiary shells
into the church, and there remains
nothing but the blackened walls and
the tombs of St. Remi, Kings Carlo -
tan, Louis IV. and Lothaire, and
Queens Fedee'onne and Geberge. The
Reliquary of St. Remi was saved
while the church was burning.
The City of Rheims, which lead a
population of about '120,000 before
he war, is tho largest French town
destroyed by the Germans. .The
count of the number of shells requir-
ed to reduce it has not been finally
made, but built as it was with the
robustness of the atount French cher-
actor as well as with delicacy, the
cost of its ruin to the Germans must
have been immense. During the fom
years of effort the batteries had re-
peatedly to be changed, while enor-
mous quantities of ammunition were
burned.
No German has put itis foot into
Rheims since the retreat from the
14larno in 1914.

How will the fair price food project
work? In essence it is briefly told.
Each municipal area having appoint-
ed its committee, will take evidence
exactly as in a public inquiry. From
this it will learn the average price at
which merchants buy. Taking all
local factors into consideration, the
committee will then decide on a fair
price which the consumer should pay.
This mush give the retailer a reason-
able profit. It the findings do not
conform to the notion of the majority
of consumers in the district, they have
the nteane either of verifying the com-
mittee's decision, or of having it im-
mediately revised in the light of local
knowledge, Is not this the essence
of local self-government carried out a
step farther than has ever yet been
dons in Canada?
