"•Somebody has called this the wo can's century," said the woman of fifty, "and we women go about boating cym bals and emitting whoops of Joy and congratulating our selves upon the progress our sex has made, and on how much better off we are than our grand mothers wera. "Poor grand mama couldn't go to college, and she oouldn't vote, and she couldn't en gage in gainful oocupatlons, and her conversational range reached from the kitchen to tho nursery, and she was old at fifty. Dear me! What a sad lot was grandmama's! And so, when ever we thought of her we went out and dropped a tear on her grave. "But there are times when I'm in doubt about whether pity, like charity, doesn't begin at home, and when I'm Inclined to think that grandmother had a cinch, and that we poor modern women are the one# that stand In need of sympathy. For If grandmama didn't have many opportunities, neither did she have many responsibilities, and she was beautifully and gloriously selfish. "She hadn't assumed the burden of the world as wo have. She did not feel responsible for society, nor posterity, nor anything in tho wide world. As long as everything went all right with her household, the balance of the universe might go hang for all she cared. "When grandraama fell In love with grandpapa s ho married him right off the bat without belnng both ered with any eugenic doubts. She didn't trouble her head with any in vestigation into the ancestry of his family to find out what congenital traits or diseases their possible chil dren might have. Nor did she in quire into grandpapa's morals. For Your "Batting Average" can't be kept up on foods that are deficient in muscle-making material, that heavily tax the digestive organs.

Pomeroy Stewart MONDAY EVENING, HJVRRISBURG TELEGRAPU JULY 6, 1914. As to Grandmama By DOROTHY DIX a man to have a dark past was con sidered rather romantic than other wise In those halcyon days, and If later on she was called upon to help him harvest his wild oat crops she called It all a mysterious dispensation of Providence that she could never account for, and so escaped all heart burnings and regrets. "The modern girl can't marry that way. She knows so much that she Is torn with a thousand fears and doubts, and she goes into marriage burdened with the sense of her re sponsibility to her possible children. That's the reason that there are fewer love Idyls now. Hygiene has sort of knocked Cupid out of the ring. "Then grandmama never had to bother her head about keeping grand papa fascinated. Probably men were Just as much as a roving nature then as now, but nobody had Invented the theory that in order to retain a hus band's love a wife should keep her self young, and slim, and beautiful, In addition to raising a family, and that she should be able to be a whole vaudeville entertainment upon such occasions as grandpapa elected to stay at home. i % "Grandmama could read whatever sort of flubdub she liked, because no body expected a married woman to know anything except the cook-book or to be able to talk about anything except her babies. She didn't have to be conversant with the latest scientific discovery, the newest political scan dal the most-talked-of picture, the biggest book of the day, the last de velopment in the latest war. Grand mama could get fat as she liked, or scrawny as she pleased, because hav ing caught her mail, she had no fur ther use for bait, and nobody noticed whether she was pulchritudlous or not as she moved sedately around her sedate little circle. "Grandmama didn't have to keep up with the fashions nor bother her self about the latest Paris" craze. By the time a woman had gotten to forty sho was supposed to be so old that she was done with all earthly vanities, and to have turned her thoughts to ward heaven Instead of the milliners. "Grandmama didn't have to worry any about how things want with the world, because it had never occurred to her that she had any responsi bility for any human being outside of her own home. If her daughters walked in silk attire It was none of her affair that other young girls per ished In sweatshops or were driven by want upon the streets. If her chil dren had contagious diseases it was not her business to keep the scourge away from other children. "When grandmother's babies sick ened and died from sour milk bottles and lack of sanitation and from the ministrations of Ignorant nurses, grandmother never laid wide-eyed through torturing nights, as the mod ern mother does, blaming herself. Oh, no, grandmother meekly bowed her head and said, The Lord loveth whom He chasteneth,' and went on bringing other anaemic little creatures Into the world to die. "Oh, believe me, our grandmothers had a cinch," said the woman regret fully. "Now I'm fifty. When my grandmother was fifty she had already attained to a special chair and a chim ney corner and a black silk dress and a lace cap and no corsets and flat heeled shoes, and had become a placid onlookor at Mfe. "And look at me, worked to death trying to keep young, doing with out things to ert I like to keep my figure, giving more care to my clothes than I did when I was twenty, be cause a middle-aged woman Is so de pendent on her dress, snatching every moment to read and study in a vain attempt to keep up with the times, rushing from one board meeting to another because my heart, is torn with all the miseries of the world, and I feel that my sole salvation depends on my doing my tiny bit to help hu manity! "And that's why I say that our grandmothers had the best of it. We've got progress, but they had rest fulness. They had a cinch, those dear, placid ladies whose world was bounded by the family circle."

Brown A Company To cut i* In the dimensions he had riveted ID his memory was even a harder tank. The greatest care was taken to prevent the theft of tools and B missing pnlr of scissors would have resulted in n search of the cells of all tnoe who worked in tne cutting room. He was compelled to cut the cloth right under the noses of the guards In the cutting room. "The Butcher" and "Idaho Shorty" sheltered him as much as they could as be worked fur tively and quickly, and, Anally, after two months, the first piece of the coat was made. It wts smuggled Into the cell and stowed away in the mattress of Bill's bunk. Stolen needles and thread were used to sew up the seams of the mattress again. Montgomery could have stolen » sharp knife from the machine shop so that Bill could work in the cell, but the old burglar would not let him run the risk. Discovery of such a theft would have meant the loss of disk aiid chevrons and a transfer to some other branch of prison work. The second autumn in prison passed into the second winter and Bill still stuck to his task. Spring came and all of the pieces for the coat were ready and In the cell, safely bidden away. To assemble them Bill would have to make every sticb by hand. At night, after the supper hour, the two prisoners washed out their towels and bung tbem on a piece of string In their celL Behind these the burglar crouched as Montgomery watched at the door. He sewed until the lights went out, but the work was slow and painful. He bad no thimble, and one finger after another was worked into a pulpy condition. The making of the coat took all summer, but Bill was so interested In the task that he even sewed in his bunk after the light* were turned ofT, feeling every stitch in the dark with raw fingers that spilled blood, but with patience that never flagged. Another year was started, and the coat was finished. Bill stole the cloth for the trousers which would replace the tubelike nether garments of the prison uuiform.' All the while No. 60.108 was perfect ing himself in mechanical work. Soon he was informed that he w'ould be the man to succeed the convict foreman when the latter was given his liberty. As foreman of the shop Montgomery would have a degree of liberty given to few convicts. On busy days he would be exempt from roll calls, and when the care of machinery required it be could spend bis evenings in the shop. He would superintend the acceptance and assembling of all new machines and parts of machines and the disposal of the old. The coveted white disk remained on his sleeve, and a new chevron was added with each year. "We'll wait until you get the Job as foreman." BUI decided. "When you take charge and get the hang of things, then we can plan the way out An other year or two ain't going to hurt you. You want to get such a start, once you're out, that they won't, close in on you and drag you back, kid. It's worth waiting for." One day No. 60,108 was called from his task and given a new blouse. On the left sleeve was a clean white disk and under it, where the chevrons had been, a white star. This signified that he had served five years with perfect conduct That same day the convict foreman weiit before the board of pa role and wits allowed time off due him for his good marks shown on the pris on record. He was allowed a day for every three marks, the total being sub tracted from his sentence. Montgomery became the foreman and took charge of tbe machine shop force. He was now twenty-six years old and had developed from a scrawny coun try boy into a well built and handsome man. His eyes were grave and his mien serious. He appeared to be well beyond thirty years of age. During the early part of this fifth year Montgomery had begun to steel himself for tbe news from home that would tell him that his mother's life was closed. She was hopelessly blind, wrote Miss Wadbams, and was worn to a shadow. He was ready for tbe trial and knew that it was at band when a trusty brought him a black bordered letter with an order granting him permission to retire to bis cell for the rest of tbe day. Bill found him praying beside his cot when be came In at the close of the day's work. The black bordered en velope in Montgomery's hand told him as much as words could tell him. He patted his grieving companion on the shoulder as a father would caress a son in dire trouble. In the shelter of their towels, stretch ed across tbe cell, be drew tbe com pleted gray suit from its biding place Montgomery rose to his feet "They put in the new machinery this week, kid, don't they?" Bill asked. Montgomery nodded. "And they ship out tbe old ma chines?" "Yes." "Well, It's time to make the get away." CHAPTER VI. The "Getaway." THE prison warden desired to In stall the new machinery at night su that be could save all oos&ible losa of actual working I tlroe of the convicts He conferred with his new foreman and Montgotn ery declared the plan feasible. By having crates itnd boxes built In the carpenter; division and In readiness the work of shipping out tbe displaced machinery eoilid be rushed while the new was being put up. Montgomery busted himself with these preliminaries and among the boxes be bud constructed was one about six fe»t In length and oblong In shape. He found It necessary to make certain changes In the construction of this particular box. The top was screwed down and an opening was made at one end. The headpiece was so built that it could be closed acd made fast from within. The last shipment out at night would be at 11 o'clock. When the whistle blew half an hour before the call for 6upper Montgomery went to his cell to wash up. The other convicts were being marched from tbe shops to their tiers and the stone walls echoed tbe I tramping of their feet Hanks were broken in the corridors between the cells In tbe dormitories. Bill and Montgomery reached tbeir cell together. The time was at band for the attempt at escape. The bur glar ripped open bis mattress and drew out the gray suit "Be fast now," advised Bill. "I'll cover the door. Get out of your clothes and get tbe suit on. then slip the regulars over them." Montgomery had stripped off his 1 blouse when tbe signal for assembly Bounded suddenly. Both men started with fear. The signal meant an Inspection and had come, as It always does, without warn ing. For a moment Bill hesitated in thought Then he grabbed tbe suit of gray from Montgomery's bands and swathed It about his own body undef his blouse. Tbe men were already lining up In the corridor, and they joined them. The cause for the assembly was soon made known In whispers and signs passed along by the convicts. Some one In the cutting room bad stolen two pairs of scissors and a bodkin, both dangerous weapons. The cell of every man working in that department would be searched. There were only five men, Including Bill, in that Uer who worked at tailor ing. Two guards searched their cells and the Ave men were ordered to step to the front Guards searched them carefully. One of the searchers pulled up Bill's blouse and saw the hidden suit of clothes. He looked up with astonishment for he bad expected no such find. The warden In charge of the tier was summoned, and the suit was ex amined carefully. "Who Is his cell mate?" the warden asked of a guard. "No. 60,108," was tbe reply. "And he didn't know a thing about It," grunted Bill surlily. "I'd have been out by now but for that milksop in my cell. He's one of these guys who says his prayers every nlgbt I was afraid he would tell on me and so I never let bim Id on It." Bill had saved his friend and with no mean sacrifice. The stir and disk on Montgomery's sleeve had helped In the free acceptance of Bill's story. ! A guard found the scissors and bod kin in another convict's cell, and ranks were broken and the men permitted to finish the washup for supper.

Roosevelt gave to-day a fresh dem onstration of how he meant to observe the doctor's decree for a six weeks' rest cure. As a special concession to his medical advisers, the ex-President slept a bare half hour longer than usual. Then for an hour he was at work with John McGrath, his po litical secretary. As soon as that was over with,the horses were brought out, and with his daughter, .Mrs. Richard Derby, Jr., he galloped off for a long ride. Later in the day he was to see his secretary again. The one rule which the Colonel said he would enforce inexorably for the next six weeks was that of seeing few visitors and none at all with whom he had not made appointments previously.
