The wife and mother, Eileen, is incensed at her husband. She loves and admires him, but her affection for the boy is even strong er. Jerome Waliace, a former suitor , is a candidate against bannering and he tells Eileen if he is elected he can help Bob. CHAPTER Vlll—Continued Wallace had promised to pro cure Bob’s freedom if he were elected, and John would continue to be as adamant If he won, but crashed, his spirit broken, if he lost. It was only with an effort that Eileen restrained herself from fairly groaning aloud as the‘prob lem lay plain before her. Was ever wife and mother torn from a happy and sheltered life to face a more grievous dilemma? Then suddenly her face filled with relief* There was still away from her point of view. An easy way could John’s stubbornness be overcome and he brought to a rea sonable view of the duties and true responsibilities of parent hood. She had once been repuls ed, but why repine? Had i|ot per sistence turned defeat into Victory far many another woman when cope seemed dead. She shifted her position in the gar.

Hard ly had ‘ she moved before he smiled at her. It was a propitia tory smile, bringing ap eagerness to his tired, haggard face which was almost pathetic. “You must be dreadfully tired, dear," he said gently. “You never slept a wink last night.’* “No, nor did you either, John,” she agreed sympathetically. He reached down and procured a cushion. “Let me put this behind your back, Eileen. It will make you more comfortable.” She allowed him to adjust it and sank back upon It with a pleased sigh. “That is better, thank you. John.” Then, after a moment’s hesitation, “I conld almost say I am perfectly comfortable were It not for Bob.” His face , brightened as they talked, but now it clouded. ‘T know, deav~>it Is hard — awfully hard'for you to bear.” “But think of Bob, John!” she cried, with a feeling which she was at pains to promptly suppress. "How can I be happy with him in such a place, amongst such sur roundings?** There was tenderness and anxie ty in his face as he regarded her with never a word. ' “He’s so pale, JohA. You must have noticed that,” she went on. “It’s no wonder shut up in that horrible place.” w “It is a hard experience for the boy,” he agreed, with a sigh. “Hard? IKs positively fearful, John,” she shivered. “What can he do with himself but ait there and think and think?

Think of the hard* ship It mußt be to him to adjust himself to the conditions in such a place!” v Although she eyed him question ingly, his only answer was a grave nod. “I am sure jhe food served is detestable.” “It is plain fare, but thoroughly wholesome, Eileen, you can rest assured of that” “But are you sure that it agrees with him, John? Remember, dear, I’ve always had to be extremely watchful of his diet.” He stared ahead with anxious and unseeing, eyes as if lost in thought “Perhaps he Is thinner,” ho mused, as if talking to himself, and then to her. “Did yon think ho was thinner; did he seem thinnei to you, l&ileen?” Impulsively she reached forth to touch hie hand, her eyes alight with hope. “John, you do care— you do care deeply, don’t you?” “How can you doubt it, Eileen?" he groaned, giving way to his feel ings before her kindness. * God knows It sometimes feels to me as if it must break my heart.” "Not your heart, dear, not your heart, if you play fair with Bob — with me.” He gazed at her, anguish plain in his face, as if he wished to be cer tain of her meaning. “Play fair with Bob, with you, Eileen?" . _ r, “I mean exactly that,” she her soul in her eyes. “When* are you going to use your ability, your professional skill—yes, your office —every bit of influence you can bring to bear, anything, to get your *on out of that awful jail?” He gazed down at her, a great tenderness plain amidst his feel 1 l ng.. , . ; l ‘.‘Poor little sweetheart, that ■ grgatblg tno’Jier'g heart of ycurs makes, you foj-get.

How much longer, aro y6u going to keep this sort-pf thing up?” \ .*• H$ took a deep breath and when he spoke it was quietly, but with intense resolution. ‘ • “Just 80 as I District At torney/ just so long as I am In of fice, Eileen, ,1 must do my duty us T see It" .Then, as if to temper bis attitude; he stretched forth h£s hand to touch hers. “Can’t you uit derstahd, darMog? Surely you must realize my position?” he pleaded. But without a word in response she drew back in her corner of the car and, withdrawing her hand, al lowed his to fall unheeded upon the cushion. Again sheJhad tried toi bring her husband to her way of thinking without success. Never a' thought for herself had she had, only for Bob, their son. Yet John* her husband, had refused her. With bitterness there came a re membrance of Wallace’s words: “Who help you more your husband?” Apparently, any body. At least he, a man to whom she had hardly given a thought in twenty years, was afflicted by no such scruples as those which bound her husband. If Eileen had been reserved in her attitude towards her husband before* she was cold now. At the door of her home she allowed Johtf to drive away with never a word! straight for her own room she made, refusing lunch, nor did rite appear to greet her husband at din ner. A prey to disappointment, yes; but more and mere giving thought to Wallace’s pledge of as- I sistance. In the face of her hus band’s unbending purpose, in des pair of being able to help Bob in any other way, Wallace’s offer seemed her final hope.
