X DOROTHY.
'
Tho JuJbo had dined and was enjoy
InR an afterdlnner cigar before turnliiR
to a pile of papers that lay on tho tablo
at his elbow. Yet even as he watched
the flickering fire and puffed dreamily
at his cljrnr, luxuriating In a little re
laxation after a hard day's work in a
close and crowded court, his mind was
busy formulatlns the sentences in
which he Intended to sum up a case
that had been tried that day. There
could bo no doubt as to the Built of tho
prisoner, who had been accused of a
most impudent fraud, and though It
v?s a first offense, the Judfre Intended
to pass the severest sentence which the
law allowed.
The Judge was no believer In short
sentences. Ho regarded leniency to a
criminal as an offense against society
a direct encouragement of those who
hesitated on the brink of vicious cour
bfcs and were only restrained by fear
of punishment. Tho well-meaning peo
ple who got up petitions to mitigate
the sentenco upon a Justly convicted
thief or murdedor were, In his eyes,
guilty of mawkish sentimentality.
There was no trace of weakness or ef
feminacy In his own faoo, with Its Ri'lz
zlert eyebrows, somewhat cold gray
eyes, thin lips and massive chin. He
was a Just man, Just to tho splitting of
a hair, but austoro and unemotional.
He had conducted the trial with the
most scrupulous impartiality, but now
that a verdict of guilty was a foregone
conclusion he determined to make an
example of one wttio had so shamefully
abused tho confidence pluced in him.
Statevl briefly, tho situation was as
follows: The prisoner, Arthur Max
well, was cashier to a firm of solicitors,
Llghtbody & Dufton. The only surviv
ing partner of tho original firm, Mr.
Llghtbody, had recently died, leaving
the busInoAt to hist nephew, Thomas
Faulkner. Faulkner accused Arthur
Maxwell of having embezzled a sum
of $1,250. S.'jixwell admitted of hav
ing taken the money, but positively as
serted that it had been presented to
him as a free rft by Mr. Llghtbody.
Unfortunately l'.or the prisoner the let
ter which ho had stated 'had accom
panied tho check could not be produced,
and Faulkner, supported by the evi
dence of several well-known experts,
declared tho signature on the check to
be a forgery. "WJien tho check-book
was examined tho counterfoil was dis
covered to be blank. The prisoner as
serted that Mr. Llghtbody had himself
taken out a blank check and had filled
it and signed it at his piivate residence.
Ho could, however, produce no proof
of this assertion, njid aJl the evidence
available was opposed to his unsup
ported statement.,
"Arthur Maxwell," soliloquized the
Judge, you have been convicted on evi
dence that leaves no shadow of doubt
of your guilt of a crlmw which I must
characterize as one of tile basest "
The chatturitv? of voices In tho hall
brought the soliloquy to an abrupt
conclusion. The Judge requited abso
lute silence and solitude when he was
engaged In sAudy, and the servants,
who stood In constant awe of him,
were extremely careful to prevent tho
least disturbance taking place within
earshot of his sanctum. Ho Jerked the
bell impatiently, intcndelng to give a
good wigging to those responsible for
the disturbance.
Hut tho door was thrown open by his
daughter Mabel, a pretty girl of 12,
who was Svldentlyln a state of breath
less excitement.
"Oh, papa!" she exclaimed, "here's
eucIi a queer little object that wants to
see you. Please lest her come In."
Refore the Judge could remonstrate
a little child, a rosy-faced girl of be
tween 5 and C, in a red hood and cloak,
hugging a black puppy under ono arm
and a brown paper parcel under the
other, trotted briskly into tho room.
The judge roso to his feet with an ex
pression which caused his daughter to
vanish with a remarkable celerity. Tho
door closed wltli a bang. Ho could hoar
her feet scuddling rapUlly upstairs, and
found himself alone, with the small
creature before him.
"What on earth are you doing here,
child?" ho nsked irritably. "What can
you possibly want of me?" She re
mained silent, staring at him. with
round, frightened eyts. "Come, come,
can't you find your tongue, little' girl?"
he asked more gently. "What is it you
Want with mc?"
"If you please," she Bald timidly,
'I've brought you Tommy."
Tommy was clearly the fat puppy,
for as she bent luer faco toward Jilm he
wagged his tall and promptly licked
tho end of her nose.
The Judge's eyes softened In spite of
himself.
"Comp here," he said, sitting down,
"and tell me all about It."
She advanced fearlessly toward him,
as animals and children always did in
his unofficial mooda.
"This is Tommy, I suppose?" ho said,
taking the puppy on his knee, where it
expressed its delight by ecstatic con
tortions of tho body, and appeared to
consider his watch chain a fascinating
article of diet.
"I've broughted you other things as
well," she said, opening tho brown pa
per parcel and revealing a doll with a
very beautiful complexion, lai-go blue
eyes, and hair of tho purest gold, a di
minutive Noah's ark, a white pig, a
woolly sheep, a case of crayons, a pen
holder, a broken-bladed knife, a small
paint box, a picture book or two, and
what bore some faint resemblance to
a number of water color sketches. She
seemed particularly proud of tho last
named.

"I painted them all by myself," she
exclaimed.
Tho Judge thought It not unlikely,
as he glanced with twinkling eyes at
tho highly unconventional forms and
daring colors of thesa strikingly origi
nal works of art.
"Well." ho said, "It Is very kind of
you to bring mo all theso pretty things,
but why do you want to give them to
mo?"
"I I don't want to give them to you,"
she faltered.
The Judge regarded her with friendly
eyes. He was so used to hearing ro
mantic deviations from tho truth from
the lips of Imaginative witnesses that
frankness was at ail times delightful
to him.
"Come," he said with n quiet laugh,
"that's honest at least. Well, why do
you givo them to mo if you don't want
to?"
"I'll give them to you, and Tommy,
too" tho words were accompanied by
a very wistful glance at tho fat puppy
"If If you'll promise not to send
poor papa to prison."
A silence, such as precedes some aw
ful convulsion of nature, pervaded the
room for several seconds nfter this au
dacious proposal. Even Tommy, as
though cowering before the outraged
majesty of the law, buried his head be
tween tho Judge's coat and vest, and
lay motionless except for a propitiatory
wag of his tall.
"What Is your name, child?" asked
the Judge, grimly.
"Dorothy Maxwell," faltered the lit
tle girl, timidly, awed by the sudden
sllenco and the perhaps unconscious
stern expression upon his lordship's
face.
"Dorothy Maxwell," sold the judge,
severely, as though the little figure be
fore him were standing in tho prison
er's dock awaiting sentenco, "you have
been convicted of tho almost unparal
leled crime of attempting to coirupt
ono of her majesty's judges; to per
suade lilm, by means of trlbery, tc de
feat tho ends of justice. I shall not fur
ther enlarge upon tho enormity of your
crime. Have you anything to say why
sentence should not be No, no, don't
cryl Poor llttlo thing, I didn't mean to
frighten you. I'm not the least b.t an
gry with you really and truly Come
and sit on my knee and show mc all
these pretty things. Get down, you lit
tle beast."
Tho last words wore addressed to
Tommy. Viho fell with a flop on the
floor and was replaced on the judge's
knee by his little mistress.
"This Is very like condoning a crimi
nal offense," thought tho Judge to him
self with a grim smile, ns he wiped tho
tears from the poor llttlo creature's
faco and tried to interest her in the
contents of tho brown paper parcel.
But tho thoughts the tears had aroused
did not vanish with them. Arthur
Maxwell was no longer a kind of im
personal representative of tho crlmlnnl
classes, to be dealt with as severely
as the law allowed In tho Interests of
society In general. He was the father
of this soft, plump, rosy-chcecked, blue
eyed, golden-haired llttlo maid, who
would Inevitably have to share, now or
In the futuro. the father's humiliation
and disgrace. For the first time, per
haps, the Judge felt a pang of pity for
the wretched man who at that moment
was probably p.iclng his cell In agoniz
ing upprebpnslon of the Inevitable ver
dict. A vivid picture started up before
him of the prisoner's white faco,
twitching lips and tragic eyes. Ho re
membered his own emotion when ho
first sentenced a fellow creature to
penal servitude Had he grown callous
slnco then? Did he take sufllclonil In
to account tho fralllty of human na
ture, the brevity of life, the far-reaching
cons-equences that the late of the
most Insignificant unit of humanity
must entail?
At this mompnt the door opened nnd
ills wife, a slender, giaceful woman,
coiis'lderably younger than hl.nself
with a refined, dellcato face, camo
quietly In
"Ah." exclaimed tho Judge with a
sudden Inspiration, "I bellev! you are
at the bottom of all this. Agnes. What
is this child doing h;re?"
"It was her own Idea, entirely her
own Idea, but her mother hi ought her
and asked to see me. The poor woman
was distracted and nearly frantic with
grief and despair, and ready to clutch
at any straw. She was so dreadfully
mlseiable, poor thing, and I thought
It wus such a pretty faea, I I couldn't
refuse her, Matthe.V.
"Hut, my dear," expostulated tho
Judge, "you must have known that It
could do no gooJ."
"I I knew what the verdict would
be," answered his wife. ;'I read a report
of tho trial In an eyenlnsr paper. Hut
thenthcrewas the sentcnco.you know
uud-tnd I thought the poor i.hlld
might SQften you a little, Andrew."
Tie judge's hand strayed mechani
cally among the toys, and to Interest
the child ho began to examine ono of
the mept vivid of her pictorial efforts.
"Youlthlnk I am very hard and un
just, Ajines?" he asked.
"No, no, no," she answered hurried
ly. "Not unjust, never unjust. Thero
Is not a more Impartial Judge unon the
, bench too whole world says it. But
don t j oil think, dear, that Justlco
without withoiU mercy, Is ulways a
llttlo ha-d? Don't, don't bo angry,
Matthew, I never spoko to you llko

Tho Judgo mnde no reply. Ho bent
still moro closely over tho scarlet ani
mal straying amid emerald fields and
burnt umber trees, of a singularly
original shnpo.
"That'B a cow,' said Dorothy proud
ly. Don't you sec Its horns? nnd that's
ltd tall It Isn't a tree. Thero's a cat
on tho other side. I can draw cats but
ter than cows."
In her anxiety to exhibit her artistic
nbllltles in their higher manifestations,
she took the paper out of his hands and
presented tho other side. At first ho
glanced at It listlessly nnd then his
eyes suddenly flashed and ho examined
it with breathless interest.
"Will, I'm blessed I" ho cxclalmad
excitedly.
It was not a very Judicial utterance,
but the circumstances were exception
al. "Here's tho very letter Maxwell do
clarcd ho had received from Llghtbody
along with tho check. His references
to it, aB he could not produce it, did
more harm than good; but I believe It's
genuine, upon my word, I do. Listen;
It Is dated from the Hollies, Light
body's private address:
My Dear Mr. (Maxwell I have Juct
heard from the doctor that my tlmo hero
will be very short, and I am trying to ar.
rango my affairs as quickly as possible
I havo long recognized tho unostenta
tious but thorough and entirely satisfac
tory manner In which you have dis
charged your duties, nnd as somo llttlo
nnd perhaps too tardy recognition of your
long and faithful services, and as a token
of my 'personal esteem for you, I hope you
will accept tho inclosed check for 2o0.
With best wishes for your future, bcllovo
mc, yours sincerely,
Thomas Llghtbody.
"What do you think of It? I'll send
It round to Maxwell's solicitor at once."
"Oh Matthew, then Hie poor fellow's
Innocent, after all?"
"It looks llko it. If the letter Is
genuine he certainly Is. There, don't
iook so miserable again. I'm sure It
Is. If It had been a forgery you may
be sure it would have been ready for
production at a moment's notice.
Where did you get this letter, llttlo
girl?"
Dorothy blushed guiltily and hung
her head.
"I took it out of pa's desk I wanted
somo paper to draw on, and I took It
without asking. You won't tell him,
will you? He'll bo ever so cross."
"Well, wo may perhaps have to let
him know about it, my dear, but I
don't think he'll bo a bit cross. Now,
this lady will take you to your mother.
and you can tell her that papa won't
go to prison, and that he'll be home to
morrow night."
"May I I say good by to Tommv,
please?" she faltered.
"You sweet little thing!" exclaimed
his wife, kissing her Impulsively.
"Tommy's going with you," said the
judge, laughing kindly. "I wouldn't
dop-ivo you of Tommy's company for
Tommy's weight in gold. I fancy there
are limits to the pleasure which Tom
my and I would derive from each
other's society. There, run away, nnd
take Tommy with you."
Dorothy eagerly pursued the fat pup
py, captured him after an exciting
chase and took him In her arms. Then
she walked toward the door, but the
corner of her eye rested wistfully on
the contents of the brown paper parcel.
The Judge hastily gathered the toys,
rolled them In the paper and presented
them to her. But Dorothy looked dis
appointed. The thought of giving
them to purchase her father's pardon
had been sweet as well as bitter. She
was willing to compromise In order to
escape the pang that the loss of Tom
my and the doll and tho paint box and
other priceless treasures would have
Inflicted, but she still wished poor lit
tle epitome of our complex human na
tureto tasto the Joy of heroic self
sacrifice. Besides, she wus afraid that
tho Judge might after all refuse to par

Differences in Expenditures for Kdii
cationnl Purposes in Various Cities.
Exclusive of $1,180,000 which It pays
to tho state, the city of New York, ac
cording to the Sun, Is expending this
year $0,000,000 for purposes of education,
and about $4,500,000 of this sum goes
for salaries of teachers and school em
ployes. Thero are about K.OOO bchool
teachers In the city of New York and
tho rate of pay varies fiom $3,000 a year
salary paid to the larger number of
principals of the male grammar schools
down to $501 a year, tho amount paid
to teachers of the lowest grade In tlm
primary schools. Houghly speaking,
the average rate of pay of a school
teacher In Now York Is about $G75 a
year, and It Is estimated that tho cost
per capita of the education of children
In New York Is about $25. ,,
By a xecent Inquiry Into the cost of
tuition In public schools In Ameilcan
cities It has been found that only St.
Louis and Philadelphia paid moro than
Now Yoik, the maximum cost per cap
ita being $64.09 In Philadelphia and tho
minimum $32.70 In Rochester. Tho dif
ferences nio largely In the matter of
salaries. In Philadelphia principals
receive from $3,000 to $1,000 a year, pro
fessors In the boys' school $2,S0O, teach
ers In tho boys' school from $S00 to $1,
800, and teachers In the gills' school
from $800 to $1,600. In St. Louis tho
maximum for principals Is $3,000, for
assistant principals $2,200, and for as
slstants $1,500 to $2,000, according to
grade. At the other extreme are In
dianapolis and Minneapolis, where
high school teachers receive $1,200 as
the maximum, and Pittsburg, where
the salaries range from $900 to $1,-
700. Philadelphia expends $3,500,000 a
year on her schools. Chicago's schools
cost $5,000,000, tho schools of Boston
$3,800,000, the schools of Brooklyn $3,
500,00, tho schools of Baltimore $1,200,
000, tho schools of San Francisco $1,
150,000, the schools of Washington $1,
000,000, tho schools of Buffalo $950,000,
the schools of Milwaukee $700,000,
and the schools of Louisville $575,000.
Among American cities which spend
comparatively little in proportion to
their size for school purposes, New Or
leans is perhaps tho most conspicuous,
and ono probable explanation of the
small expenditure of publlemoney there
Is to bo found In tho fact that a con
siderable poitlon of tho population Is
colored and the Item of expense for tho
rudimentary Instruction of colored chil
dren Is, It Is well known, very small.
Thero aro In tho United States 492
colleges or universities having 7,000
male and 1,600 female instructors. Thero
are. 150 theological schools with 1,000 in
structors and 9,000 students. There
aro 100 law schools with 9,000 students,
of whom 100 aro girls. There aro 200
medical colleges with 25,000 students of
whom 1,800 are female. Of theso medi
cal schools moro than half are alio

Thero aro In the United States 5,000
high schools with 7,000 male and 8,000
femaio teachers, and 2,500 private
schools with 4,000 male and 5,000 female
teachers. About 10 per cent, of the num
ber of private schools in the United
States are to be found in tho city of
New York. Thero are moro medical
colleges and law colleges in this Btato
than In any other, but Pennsylvania
has a lnrgcr number of theological col
leges than Now York. In respect of the
number of high schools Ohio stands
first among the states of tho Union and
In tho iiumbcr of so-called colleges nnd

quiries Answered Yearly for People
All Over Iho United Stnf.
Washington Letter to tho New York Sun.
Ono branch of tho work done by tho
Smithsonian Institution Is little known,
and yot It is probably the most Im
portant from a popular standpoint.
This Is tho answering of questions re
ceived from people nil over the United
States. When a Sun reporter called at
tho National museum yesterday he
found Prof. Otis T. Mason with a num
ber of letters all dealing with the samo
subject.
"I am engaged," said Prof. Mason,
"in finding a suitable name for a coun
try seat for a lady In California. This
Is an example of the work we do in
this line. Somo time ago I received a
letter from the lady telling me that she
desired a name for her country seat In
Marin county, Cal. She wanted a name
taken from tho Indian language. I
wrote her that as there were some
fifty-eight Indian languages and more
thnn 200 dialects I would llko her to
be more specific. I also suggested that
she select a name from tho language
of ono of tho Indian tribes of Cali
fornia, She replied that she would pre
fer to have a California name and
would accept any but one from the
Digger Indians, to whom she appears
to havo an antipathy. She wants a
name indicating 'mountain' rest,'
'mountain retreat,' or something else of
that kind. I have been going over our
books nnd dictionaries and will find her
tho name.
"It takes a great deal of labor to
answer these questions, but tho Smith
sonian makes It a point to unswer
every sensible or well-Intended ques
tion which Is propounded to It, AVo re
ceive llfty thousand inquiries a year,
and none of them is neglected If It Is
a question that can be answered. This
Is tho only government that does such
a thing. Such questions ns that I
havo shown you, If sent to the British
mubcum, would bo thrown Into tho
waste paper basket. Prof. Henry In
augurated tho system In vogue hero
some forty years ago. Ho lieid that a
well-informed man was a much better
citizen than an Ignorant one, and that
It was his duty to Impart Information
whenever requested If such Informa
tion was obtainable.
" 'You must have a marvellous fund
of information,' said a friend to him
one day.
" 'Not at all,' he replied; 'only know
the men who havo It.'
INFORMATION SEARCHERS.
"Prof. Young said that In the course
of his long experience at the Smithson
ian ho had never had a question pro
pounded that somebody In Washington
wis not able to answer. All thesa quos
Hon J go to Prof. Lnngley, secetaty
of the Smithsonian, and Dr referred
by him to the proper departments. A
'w days ago I had one from a man In
Kansas, who wanted know If at one
time the letter 'U' was not Included In
a numeral system. Ho could not find
It in his Chambers nor In the Encyclo
iacdia Brltannlca, but I dug It up out
of an old British encyclopaedia fo- him.
The letters 'U' and 'V In the Roiimn
alphabet aro tho same, so it was In this
way thnt his nttentlon had been at
tracted to It. Another case was that
of a young girl In Maryland, who
wanted to know how to study Mary
land grasses. I told her that a book
fully explaining these grasses and giv
ing copious Illustrations had been writ
ten by ono of the scientists of the de
partment of agriculture and referred
her to him. A few days ago two young
boys, Sunday school scholars, came to
tho museum and nsked for tho 'widow's
mite.' They had been reading about It.
Mr. Cnzenovltch, tho Hebiaic expert,
took them to the caso In which we keep
tho specimens of tho 'widow's mite' and
took tho coins fiom the case. He al
lowed them to examine the coins min
utely nnd they went away very hap
py. BEATS THEM ALL.
"Tho Smithsonian Institution Is of
more benefit In the general distribution
of knowledge than all tho scientific In
stitutions of England combined. Its
ramifications extend to all quarters of
the globe. There Is not a country In
which there Is a post olllco wheio we
havo not a correspondent. Not only
do they keep us Informed of all that Is
going on in the fcrlenttflc world, but
they send us a great number of books,
which wo dlstilbute to other scientists
free of chatge. For instance, suppose
a scientist In Iceland w rites a book on
tho temperature of the water, giving
the times of taking It nnd other obser
vations. He does not know how to
reach other scientists to bond them his

meets a woman who
knows how to take care
of her health. Time
can't make her seem
old.
She may be the
mother of a family;
that makes no differ
ence. She is bound to
be young because her heart is young and
there is rich, young blood circulating in her
veins. She doesn't need cosmetics and face
powders and skin-preservers, Pure blood
is the only true skin-preserver.
But when a woman's blood is full of bil
ious impurities, she can neither look youn
nor feel young. Her whole constitution is
poisoned with bad blood, It permeates ev.
cry part. It paralyzes the nerve-centres;
weakens the stomach; irritates the heart,
preys upon the lungs and bronchial tubes.
It reduces a woman to a state of weakness,
nervousness, irritability, dejection nnd mel
ancholy. Such a woman can't possibly be
youthful, no matter what her age may be.
She needs the youthfulness of highly vital
lied blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery will give it to her. It will help
any woman to get back her youth and
freshness again.
It gives the digestive and blood-making
organs and the liver power to produce good,
pure, healthy blood. It gives color to the
cheeks, and sparkle to the eyes; drives away
piraplej and blotches; wipes away wrinkles;
rounds out emaciated forms, and creates
