By CLARENCE FISHER. The life prisoner was little more than a boy in years. To Mollie, the daughter of the warden, he had the saddest and most interesting face that she had ever seen. She had seen him twice, when she had gone into her father’s office while the convicts were exercising in the prison yard outside. She asked him about the man. “Jeft Lowndes?” inquired the old warden, frowning. *“You'd best not interest yourself in him, Mollie. There's other ‘lifers’ may get their sentences commuted some day, but he never will.” “What did he do, father?’ asked the girl. “He murdered a man in cold blood, Moll, dear. Cut his enemy's throat while he lay sleeping, because.he had i been unable to meet his mortgage and save his mother’s farm. Poor woman! She died before the verdict was ren- dered, confident of her son's ac- quital.” “He doesn’t look llke a murderer, father,” said Mollie. But it was morbid to let her thoughts dwell on any of the prison- ers. Why was she thinking of him tonight as she crouched beside the upper window, watching keenly the winding road that led to Haiters? Downstairs her father sat before the | prison gates, his rifle across his knees. There had been ominous ru- mors in town of a lynching party, to kill the negro who now cowered in the furthest cell of the prison, charged with an unspeakable crime. But old Warden Davis was of stern stuff and he had let it be known that he would lose his lite before he lost his prisoner. However, he had tele- phoned to the capital for a militia company. Something stirred along the wind- ing road and the low, muttering mur ' in a week, man. But as for him—" cred, and relapsed Into uncom:; ¢k 288, Upca the wall of the office hung the keys. Acling now by blind in- stinct, Mollie seized the heaviest of all, the key which opened the door of Lowndes’ cell. She ran down the flagged passage, gasping. The key clicked in the lock, and the convict rose in astonishment to see the glx‘ll standing there. “Come!” she cried, and ran back.' [l As Lowndes followed her he heard the thud of wood upon wood and the triumphant yells of the mob as the. gates splintered before the blows of their beams. The girl dragged him into the of- fice and flung the shutters close and barred the door. She thrust the rifle into his hands. “You'll save my fa- ther?” she cried. “I trust you. They are maddened now by the sight of blood, but they shall never set foot in here as long as I live.” “Or 1" he answered, and, kneeling beside the window, opened a chink fn the shutters and thrust the rifle! forth. The leaders looked into it as they ran yelling forward. They knew that their revolver bullets were pow-, erless against the strong window beams. “Turn back or I fire!” cried the| convict. As they paused he knew that he had them at his mercy. The, mob instinct of fear had conquered that of hate. They halted and the courage was gone out of them. He| flung the shutters wide and rose to his feet. “Fling down your weapons!” shouted. They saw the tall figure in convict's stripes and the gleaming barrel lev- eled on them. Sullenly they obeyed| and withdrew toward the gate. Then from beyond the road a trampling was heard. Gray-coated men came at thie double toward the prison. It was the militia company from the capital. A moment later and the last of the | assailants was racing to safety. Two officers bore the man who had been shot into the office and placed him at | the warden’s side. The elder man opened his eyes. “Thank God, warden, we came in time,” sald the commanding officer.’ “What have they done to you®’ A knee wound? You'll be up and around he! Simms moaned and struggled into a | sitting posture, his head resting against the officer’'s shoulder. He was shot through the body; he could | not live an hour. “l—want—to tell—you—" he mut- tered, and then his eyes met those of the convict's. The two men stared fixedly at each other. Simms uttered @ groan. “Listen—before I dle,” he gasped. “He's not—gulilty. I—shot—Bert Smith. We had a feud. [—put—the knife beside— Lowndes’ bed while | he—slept. He's—innocent. I—" His head fell back and an instant | later he sighed, the eyelids fluttered and closed. The officer rose. “He’s dead.” he said, But even in that moment an un.

Medically, “red hands” are a form of erythema, or local inflammation of the skin. Now there are a great many kinds of erythema, due to a large number of causes, from some infec- | tious disease like scarlet fever to mere prolonged exposure to cold or heat. The question arises, What can be | done to prevent the first stage of ery- | thema, namely, the increased blood | supply to a part—or hyperaemia—and | what to prevent the first stage from | developing into subsequent ones? This question is more easily asked than answered, but still it is not un- | answerable, In the first place, those who have a ' sensitive skin must protect it as much as lles in their power. They must | keep from it every irritation—say | washing with either hot or cold wa- | ter; the water should always be tep- Id; particular attention must be pald | to the soap used, that with an ex- cess of alkalli being particularly in- jurious, As to additional treatment, when once the hands have begun to show signs of more or less permanent red- ness they should be rubbed dry in Store We Have Tampa [¢ _Crsam We Take Orders Fron Anywhere]} in the City United Brotherhood of Carpenten ang Joiners of America, Local 1776 Meots overy Tuesday night at 7 o'clock, at McDonald’s hall.
