A cockle, Tony, is, according to the Standard Dictionary, a cardiotd bivalve. In other words it shell fish on the order of the clam, and let me tell you, Tony, a cockie is something fine in the ne of eats, There is also w weed called cockle that grows among grain and impoverishes the soll. Poor people are employed to pick the cockle as it shows above ground end it was probably that style of cockle-picker that the Guardian meant. “Codger,” as used in my set, means a cheap, small tightwad or @ gombeen man who lends you @ pound and collects a shilling a week for life. As to the discussion between the two guardians of the poor, I believe that @ couple of excited Irishmen have the same right to step over the line of restraint at times as the rest of the world.

CURIOU ‘The Willett proceeding ia only novel to those who would read the Ten Com- mandments as an item of startling news. It grew out of an ancient custom by which aty angry or maliclous person might run to a Justice of the Peace and got @ warrant for the arrest of any other person, with nothing to guide the Magistrate except the unsupported word of the man making the complaint. ‘Then, in many States, it was provided by law that before a Justice of the Peace or a Magistrate could issue @ warrant for a man he must take testimony to find owt if he hed any justification for issuing the warrant. ‘he dea was to protect the citizen from unwarranted arrest and harassment to make the complainant show what he had up his sleeve before he put a fellow in the jug. In the place of hurting the defendant, it 1s his greatest protection. He is not only protected from a warrant tasued without investigation, but he ‘gets the benefit of knowing all the prosecution can pull on him before he Ime to stand trial.

The law books ct atutes passed to appease the that out recompense. Imagination built a life's best happiness for the child, This was her solitary comfort. © ¢ * But, as the shadows of night drew about her a new frightful thought assailed her. The vision of the girl had been so radiant that It had seemed som thing altogether apart from sordid things. Now, however, memory flashed her husband's acheming against Lae child. She remembered how he had spoken of his plans freely before hei knowing that she dare object to not ing he might undertake, so great were her weakness of purpose and her fear of him. Recollection or tne man‘s evil prompect set the woman shudder- i sun, in the movements of men, women and children, who stepped forth more alertly, responsive to Nature's surge of life. Even Ada, world worn and weary, felt the dominant thrill of the time, and vague longings welled impotent within her soul. She had no strength to fight for a new life, and the old was grown hateful. She desired now—de- sired with an intensity that was pain— under the impulse of this perfect day; but she knew her weakness, and re- mained without hope. The splendor of the season reacted on her to make despair more dreadful. In this mood of misery her eyes were caught by the trim figure of a scho girl, who was walking in a path that ran not far from her own. The girl went forward with a It ime grace of motion, beautifulsin its revelation of gladsome youth and health. The dain- tiness of her clothing proved her the child of prosperity. Ada, contemplat- ing the gayety that characterized every movement of the girl, the evident hap- piness of mood, understood that here was the spirit of the day incarnate, {ts care-free happiness, its youth, its life. ra moment fierce envy of this young creature with unfettered possibilit swept over the woman. The hideou ness of the contrast between such a one and herself filled her with self- pity hardly to be borne, For her ail the possibilities of life worth while were gone forever. There remained for tho future only ‘a repatition of the past— the Dead Sea apples of false pleasu Buddenly e@he eprang up and set forth, almost running.

So, It came about that in the evening following Jake's proposal, Maggie was dismayed and angry to receiv from Ada Darkin. Standing and facing the unwelcome visitor, she spoke her mind emphatically: “When I got your pardon through Mrs. Thatcher, you promised faithfully that you'd never come to my home again. Yet, since that time, you and your husband have hounded me for .; every dollar I could rake and scrape cringed before the accusa- tion, but she showed no sign of retreat. Maggle, observing closely, noted with surprise thet the cheeks were free of rouge, for the first time within her ex- periehce. The dress, too, was sedate, unlike the usual garish garments. The whole air of the woman seemed changed, subdued, yet more efficient. The altera- tion was externag surely; somehow, nevertheless, it seemed significant of a difference in the entire personality. The fact was evidenced in in the timbre of her voice, which had lost its old- time harsh and filppant note, Now, it was gentle, pleading: ‘Don't blame me too severely, Mag- sie,” she urged. “I have been guilty in every way.
