(Copyright.) through the trial the prisomer with his body bent forward head resting between fists—a picture of sullen de- It was only at the close of his law- yer's brilliant summing-up that he leaned back and gaszed about the crowded court room. Then the Aistrict attorney faced the jury. “The evidence against Jud Gglden, gentlemen,” he sald in quiet tones that carried to the farthest corner, conclusively that he is a desperado unfit to be at large. “The street gang has made him what he is, and when we send him back to prison we are striking at the organ- ised crime of New York city. “That means that when we strike at Jud Golden we are not merely inflict- ing just punishment upon a ruffian who prowls about with brass knuckles, knife and revolver, engaging in all forms of crime—now a little black- mailing affair, now beating up a help- less man for a few dollars, or com- mitting murder for a scarf pin—" “I object, your honor,” interrupted counsel for the defense. “My client is not on trial for robberies or murders, but for killing a man in self-defense; and furthermore—" “Qbjection overruled,” rapped the judge. “Proceed.” “I repeat,” continued the district at- torney, “that we are mot striking at this one man, but at the gang that is undoing the work of the home, the school and the state. ' “Now, gentlemen, your duty is clear. Release Jud Golden, and you not only expose society to a dangerous man, but you encourage the gang spirit which is rotting the vitality of our city.” | Then, turning to the judge, he said: “Inasmuch as the prisoner has spent the greater part of his infamous life in some form of jail for every kind of crime, I ask you to send him back where he belongs. He is morally in-| capable of living in a law-abiding com- ‘ munity. “Nobody wants him. He has no) friends, no means of earning an hon- est living, absolutely no reason for re- | alning among decent citizens. ‘The | man is & moral leper, and as such should be confined.” l ber gimme all her with the boys. “A week later she was turned out on the street, an’ I never lifted a fin- ger to help her. Why didn’t you men- tion that, Mr. District Attorney? “Many a night she passed by Egan's saloon, where I hung out, an’ slipped some money into my hand. Instead of thankin’ her, I'd invite the boys in an’ leave her standin’ at the curb. “Then I was sent up for breakin’ into Story’s house. Do you think she money, an’ went off was ashamed of her drunken, thievin® | brute of a son? No, sir! She went everywhere beggin’ them to let me go. “Yes, an’ paid for one of the best lawyers in the country, though it didn’t do no good. Then she worked Iike a nigger to bring me papers an’ tobaccer an’ things to eat. An'I uster snarl at her for not leavin' me alone.” The prisoner looked down at the little limp figure. “That's what got me to thinkin’. ‘What did I ever do for her except to make her life miserable an’ bring shame on her? One day she tripped as she was goin’ out of my cell, an’ I caught her in my arms and kissed her. Then she smiled up at me through her tears until— “Aw, you wouldn't understand. But 1 did, an’ as soon as she was outside the bars I got down on my knees an’ prayed—prayed, mind you—that she might live until I was free so I could work for her an’ show her how I felt about her now. “Every time she came after that she looked thinner an’ older. Once when she didn’t come at the reg'lar time I thought—the thing had happened. But she came, an’ I was happy. “The day they let me go, we took & "RIBBONS IN GREAT VARIETY All Descriptions and Shades Called In. to Use Both for Girdles and .. Trimmings. Rich satin, faille and moire rifbons are used for girdles and hat trim- mings. Girdles are either plain, of striped broche, or a combination of ribbons. Velvet brocades have entire velvet figures, or satin flowers out- lned with velvet. Velvet stripes ap- pear in dark, rich roman ribbons. Many rich ribbons are very dark, such shades as dark brown, navy, pur- ple, mahogany, russian and stem greens, etc., and are blended with hair lines of black, yellow, scarlet, pale blue and green satin, or one wide one of black satin. Girdles and sashes of brocade have a rich effect with a plain colored gown. For evening or dancing gowns rich satin girdles are worn, and fancy stripes set off a simple serge or cotton dress. Soft finished ribbons are used for crush girdles. f Tinsel ribbons heavy with gold or silver.scrolls or flowers are very hand- some and are used for girdles or for collar, vest or cuffs. Ribbon tassels of black ribbon are fur tipped and used as a coquettish finish on some of the close turbans worn tipped sharply on the side. Nursery Laundry Bag. A laundry bag for the nursery is made of cretonne or linen, gay in , color, or with Mother Goose designs. Two yards of material make a com- fortable big bag. It is gathered at the top on an oblong shaped sewing hoop. Then sew a pretty ribbon at the top, attach at either end with a bow, and it is ready. It will prove trip to Coney Island, an’ I felt like l;‘“ easy thing to hang up in the kid. I' guess she was happy or she wouldn't have told me. That Edelman had squeezed fifty dollars out of her as hush money. Told her he'd squeal on me like he did before if she didn’t cough up. “Then, after he got the money, he faked up that lyin’ statement to keep me in stripes because he was afraid of me.

All eyes were turned toward the prisoner, who seemed taller and more ghastly as he leaned over the dock. | “You've got me, judge,” he sald slowly, blinking his squinty eyes at the sea of faces before him. “I guess T've been pretty well introduced, an’ I might as well look pleased an’ let the ceremonies go on. “I ain't goner do the Edelman act, anyhow. What I've done, I've done. If I'm sorry, that's my business as long as I'm ready to stand the gaff. But there’s somethin’'—" The words failed to come, and the big man stared helplessly about, shift- ing his feet and gripping the railing. His blood-shot eyes rested for a mo- ment on a little old woman at his i right who sat with bowed head. Then : he recollected himself. { “That man is right about the gang. . It's done for me.

There was a general whispering, interspersed with cries of “git down!” “Keep still!” and “Let Bim talk!” which died away on the command of “Order!” | The prisoner turned to the district attorney. “You told my story pretty well, but | you didn't tell it all.

The members of the jury, in varfous cramped attitudes, | stared at the floor or out the win-| dows. Throughout the court room was deep silence, broken here and there by a spasmodic sob.

Don’t take on—don't.” The whispering died away as the judge looked up from the brief on which he had been tracing patterns, cleared his throat several times, and frowned. “In accordance with the verdict of the court” he commenced, and then paused to cough. “In accordance with the verdict—that is ay—in view of extenuating circumstances — sentence is suspended.” There was a general shuffiing of feet and chairs as the large audience rose to depart. In & short while the room was empty save for two figures at the dock. Presently the man got up from his knees. “Come, mother” he said gently, “we'd better be goin' home.” Humorous, If True. Readers who had some difficulty in remembering where the Falkland is- lands were, may have been helped by the recollection of one of Ian Mac- laren’s stories. After a disaster to an emigrant ship many years ago, some of the survivors reached those fslands. When the news reached home, the minister of s Scottish | church to which some of the emi grants had belonged, prayed thus: “Oh, Lord, we pray thee to be with our brethren, stranded in the Falk- land islands, which, as Thou knowest, sre situated in the South Atlantic ocean.” Where the Trouble Lies.
