Executive Realizes Grave Nature of the Situation, But His Eye Re-

mainc Stogie to Welfare of 1 tho United State*.

President Taft has authorized the war department to send two addi-tional regiments of cavalry to the Mexican border.

One will go from Fort Riley, Kan., and the gther from Fort D. A. Rus-sell, Wyo.

Maj.-Gen. Wood, chief of staff of the army, informed the president the two additional regiments of cavalry should be sent into Texas without delay, and Mr. Taft promptly ap-proved the plan of tho war depart-ment in transferring the additional troops to the border.

Situation at Acute Stage. According to information forwarded

to the president by the state and war departments, the situation in Mexico is most serious. Mr. Taft is opposed to intervention except as a last re-sort. It is admitted, however, that conditions in Mexico have become worse in the last few weeks, and if the Madero government is unable to check the attacks on Americans and foreigners, the United States proba-bly will be compelled to intervene.

Under the Monroe doctrine this government would oppose intervene tion by a foreign government and for this reason the duty of requiring the Mexican government to furnish proper protection falls upon the Uni-ted States.

Intervention Draws Near. Although President Taft will not

intervene in Mexico without the full-est deliberation upon a step that would mean war, his friends declared that intervention is nearer than it has been since the first American troops were rushed to the border 18 months ago;

STRAUS FOR GOVERNOR. New York Diplomat Put In "Race on

Bull Moose Ticket. Oscar S. Straus, of New York coun-

ty, President Cleveland's ambassador to Turkey and President Roosevelt's secretary of commerce and labor, was nominated for governor by acclama-tion in a stampede1 of the Progressive state convention at Syracuse. N. Y..

Mr. Straus, as permanent chairman of the convention, was upon the plat-form at the time the stampede broke loose. It came like a thunderclap to him. The Prendergast and the Hotch-kiss forces for five hours had been engaged in an oratorical battle in the effort to bring about' the nomination of their favorite.

Secretary George. B, M,anchest(|r had completed the roll of counties in the call for nominating speeches. Comptroller Prendergast had been formally put in nomination by ex-Assemblyman George A. Green of Kings. William A. Chadbourne of New York had put William H. Hotch-kiss in nomination. Mr. Hotchkiss had mounted the platform and de-clared that Mr. Chadbourne had nam-ed him on his own responsibility, but Mr. Hotchkiss had not renounced the proposed nomination,

Gen. MacArthur Drops Dead. While recalling the deeds of the

Twenty-fourth Wisconsin volunteers ln the Atlanta campaign, Lieut.-Gen, Arthur MacArthur, U. S, A., retired, dropped dead, following an apoplectic stroke at the reunino of the regiment, known as the "Chamber of Comm-erce" regiment, in the University building in Milwalkee, Wis.

Within a few minutes after the gi 1. oral succumbed in the midst of his address, Edwin B. Parsons, captain and membtT of the regiment, suffered a paralytic stroke on the right gide from the shock of seeing his comrade fall, and had to be carried from the hall.

it in obedience to some higher law, Is perhaps to pay oneself the most flat-tering of compliments. There was a satisfaction to her soul in this which was yet denied him.

Her action was quite different from his. She was putting away happiness which she might have had in compli-ance with a higher law than that which bids humanity enjoy. It was flattering to her mind. In his case, it was otherwise; he had no con-sciousness that he was a victim of misplaced trust, of misinterpreted ac-tion. He thought the woman for whom he was putting away happiness was almost as worthy, if infinitely less desirable, as the woman.whom he now loved.

Every sting of outrage, every feel-ing of shame, every fear of disloyalty, scourged him. She could glory in it; he was ashamed, humiliated, broken.

She heard him savagely walking up and down the other room, restlessly impelled by the same Erinyes which of old scourged Orestes; the violator of the laws of moral being drove him on. These malign Eumenides held him in their hands. He was bound and helpless, rage as he might ln one moment, pray as he did ln another, no light came into the whirling darkness of his torn, tempest tossed, driven soul. The irresistible impulse and the immovable body the philosophers puz-zled over were exemplified in him. Whilst he almost hated the new worn-

ideas and his ideals, or he must inev-itably take the woman.

How frightful was the battle that raged within his bosom! Sometimes in his despair he thought that he would have been glad If he and she had gone down together^ in the dark waters before all this came upon him. The floods of which the heavens had emptied themselves had borne her to him. Oh if they had only swept him out of life with its trouble, its trials, its anxieties, its obligations, its impos-sibilities. If they had gone together! And then he knew that he was glad even for the torture, because he had seen her, because he had loved her, and because she had loved him.

He marveletf at himself curiously, and in a detached way. There was a woman who loved him, who had con-fessed it boldly and innocently, there was none to say him nay. The woman who stood between had been dead five years. The world knew nothing, cared nothing; they could go out together; he could take her, she would come. On the impulse he turned and ran to the door and beat upon i t Her voice bade him enter, and he came in.

Her heart yearned to him. She was shocked, appalled at the torture she saw upon his face. Had he been laid upon the rack, and every joint pulled from its sockets, he could not have been more white and agonized.

"I give up," he cried. "What are honor and self respect to me? I want

an, whilst be almost loved the old, yet that he did neither the one thing nor the other absolutely was signifi-cant.

Indeed he knew that he was glad Enid Maitland had come into his life. No life ls complete until it is touched by that divine fire which for lack of another name we call love. Because we can experience that sensation we are said to be made in God's image. The image is blurred as the animal predominates, it i s clearer as the spir-itual has the ascendency.

The man raved ln his mind. White faced, stern, he walked up and down he tossed his arms about him, he stop-ped, his eyes closed, he threw his hands up toward God, his heart cried out under the lacerations of ihe blows inflicted upon it. No flagellant of old ever trembled beneath the body lash as he under the spiritual punishment.

He prayed that he might die at the, same moment that he longed to live. He grappled blindly for solutions of the problem that would leave him with Untarnished honor and undiminished self respect and fidelity, and yet give gm this woman, and. in vain. Ke rove to find a way to reconcile the past with the present, realizing as he did so the futility of such a proposi-tion. One or xtne. other must tie su* a&enaov ha must lA^itaaJiiy Jialeiia bfsi

you. I have put the past behind. You love me, and I, I am yours with every fiber of my being. Great God! Let us cast aside these foolish quixotic scruples that have kept us apart. If a man's thoughts declare his guilt, I am already disloyal to the other wom-an; deeply, entirely so. I have be-trayed her, shamed her, abandoned her. Let me have" Some reward for what I have gone through. You love me; come to me."

"No," answered the woman, and no task ever laid upon b*r had been hard-er than that. "I do love you. I will not deny it. Every part of me re-sponds to your appeal. I should be so happy that I cannot even think of It, if I could put my hand in your own, if I could lay my head upon your shoul-der, if I could feel your heart beat against mine, if I could give myself up to you, I would be so glad, so glad. But it cannot be, not now." ' "Why not?" pleaded the man.

He was by her side, his arm went around her. She did not resist phy-sically, it would have been useless. She only laid her slender hand upon his. broad breast and (threw her head back and looked at him.

"Sac," she said, "how helpless I am, how weak in your hands. Every voice in my heart bids me give, way. If you

helpless, alone, but it must not be. I know you better than you know yourself. You will not t a k e advantage of affection so unbounded, of weak-ness eo pitiable."

Was it the wisdom of calculation, or was it the wisdom of instinct by which she chose her course? Resistance would have been unavailing, in weak-ness was her strength.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth! Yes, that was true,. She knew it now, if never before, and so did he.

Slowly the man released her. She did not even then draw away from him. She stood with h e r hand still on his breast. She could feel the beating of his heart beneath her $ngers.

"I am right," she sain* softly. "It kills me to deny you anything. My hearts y e a r n B toward you. Why should I deny it? It ia my glory, not my shame."

"There ls nothing above love like ours," he pleaded, wondering what marvelous mastery she exercised that she stopped him by a hand's touch, a whispered word, a faith.

"No; love is life, love is God, but even God himself is under obligations of righteousness. For me to come to you now, to marry you now, to be your wife, would be unholy. There would not be that perfect confidence between us that must endure in that revelation. Your honor and mine, your self respect and mine, would interpose. If I can't have you with a clear con-science, If you can't come to me in the same way, we are better apart. A l -though it kills me, although life with-out you seems nothing, I would rather not live it, we are better apart. I can't be your wife until—"

"Unti l what and until when?" de-manded Newbold.

"I don't know," said the woman, "but I believe that somewhere, somehow, we shall find a way out of our diffi-culty. There is a way," she said a little incautiously. "I know it."

"Show it to me.", "No, I cannot." "What prevents?" The same thing which prevents you:

honor, loyalty." "To a man?" "To a woman." "I do not understand." "No, but you will Borne day." She

smiled at him. "See," she said, "through my tears I can smile at you, though my heart is breaking. I know that in God's good time this will work itself out."

"I can't wait for God. I want you now," persisted the other.

"Hush, don't say that," answered the woman, for a moment, laying her hand on his lips. "But I forgive you. I know how you suffer."

The man could say nothing, do noth-ing. He stared at her a moment and his hand went to his throat as if he were choking.

"Unworthy," he said hoarsely, "un-worthy of the past, unworthy of the present, unworthy of the future. May God forgive me, I never can."

"He will forgive you, never fear," answered Enid gently.

"And you?" asked her lover. "I have ruined your life."

"No, you Have ennobled it. Let nothing ever make you forget that. Wherever you are and whatever you do, and whatever you may have been, I love you, and I shall love you to the end. Now you must go, it is so late, I can't stand any more. I throw my-self on your mercy again, I grow weak-er and weaker before you; as you are a man, as you are stronger, save me from myself. If you were to take me again in your arms," she went on, steadily, "I know not how I could drive you back. For God's sake, if you love me—"

That was tbe hardest thing he had ever done, to turn and go out of tbe room, out of her sight, and leave her standing there with eyes shining, with pulses throbbing, with breath coming fast, with bo3ora panting. Once more, and at a touch Bhe might have yielded!

desk before the west window in his private room In one of tbe tallest

'buildings in Denver. His suite of of-fices was situated on one of the top floors, and from ft he had a clear and unobstructed view of tbe mighty range over the intervening house tops and other buildings. The earth was covered with snow. It bad fallen stead-ily through the night, but with the dawn the air had cleared-and the sun had come out brightly, although It was very cold.

Letters, papers, documents, the de-mands of a business extensive and var-ied, were left unnoticed. He sat with his elbow on the desk, his bead on his hand, looking moodily at the range, in the month that had elapsed since lie had received news of Enid Matt* land's disappearance he bad sat often

the range, a prey to most despondent reflections, heavy hearted and dlscon* solate indeed.

After that memorable interview with Mr. Stephen Maitland in Thiiav delphia he had deemed it proper to await there the arrival of Mr. Rob-ert Maitland. A brief Interview with that distracted gentleman had put; him in possession of all the facts in the case. As Robert Maitland had said, after presentation of the tragic story, tbe situation was quite hope less. Even Armstrong reluctantly ad* mltted that her uncle and old Klrkby had done everything that was posst* ble for the rescue or discovery of the girL

Therefore the two despondent gen* tlemen had shortly after returned to their western homes, Robert Maitland in this instance being accompanied by bis brother Stephen. The lattei never knew how much his daughtei had been to him until this evil fate had befallen her. Robert Maitland had promised to inaugurate a thor* ough and extensive search to solve the mystery of her death, which he felt was certain* in the spring, when the weather permitted humanity to have free course through the mountains.

Mr. Stephen Maitland found a cer tain melancholy satisfaction in being at least near the place where neither he nor any one had any doubt his daughter's remains lay hid beneath the snow or ice on the mountains in the freezing cold. Robert Maitland had no other idea than that Enid's body was In the lake. He intended to drain it—an engineering task of no great difficulty—and yet he Intended, also, to search the hills for miles on either side of the main stream down which she had gone, for she might possibly have strayed away and died of starvation and exposure, rathe! than drowning. At any rate, he would leave nothing undone to discov-er her.

He had strenuously opposed Arm-strong's recklessly expressed inten-tion of going into the mountains im-mediately to search for her. Arm* strong was not easily moved from any purpose ho entertained, or lightly to be hindered from attempting any en-terprise that he projected, but by the time the party reached Denver the winter had set in, and even he real-ized the futility of any immediate search for a dead body* lost in the mountains. Admitting that Enid waa dead, the conclusions were sound, ol course.

The others pointed out to Armstrong that if the woman they all loved had by any fortunate chance escaped the cloudburst, she must inevitably have perished from cold, starvation and ex posure ln the mountain long since. There wa3 scarcely a possibility that she could have escaped the flood, but ff she had, it would only to be de-voted to death a little later. If she was not in the lake, what remained ol her would be in some lateral canon It. would be impossible to discovei her body in the deep snows until the spring and the warm ^weath^r came. When the snows melted what was con-cealed would be revealed. Alone, she could do nothing. And admitting again that Enid was alone, this conclusion . was as sourid as the other.

Now no one had the faintest hope that Enid Maitland was yet alive, ex-cept, perhaps, her father, Mr. Stephen Maitland. They could not convince him, he was so old and set in his opin« , ions and so utterly unfamiliar with the . conditions that they tried to describe < to him, that he clung to his belief is spite of all, and finally they let him take such comfort as be could from his vain hope withput any further at tempt at contradiction,

In spite of all the arguments, how ever, Mr. James Armstrong was not satisfied. He was as hopeless as the rest, but his temperament would not permit him to accept tbe inevitable calmly. It was barely possible thai, she might not be dead, and that she migflt not be alone. There was scarce up enough possibility of this to justify a suspicion, but that Is not saying there was none at all.

Day* after day he bad sat in his of-fice denying himself to everyone and refusing to consider anything, brood ing over the situation. He loved Enid Maitland, he loved her before, and now that he had lost her, be loved her still more.

Murrell Shows His Hand. At length points of light began to

show through chinks in the logs. Han-nibal roused and sat up, rubbing his eyes with the backs ot his bands.

"Wasnt you able to sleep none?" he inquired. Betty shook her head. He looked at her with an expression of troubled concern. "How soon do you reckon the judge will know?" he asked.

"Very soon now, dear." Hannibal was greatly consoled by this opinion. . "Miss Betty, he will love to find

had caught the distant splash of oars. Hannibal found a chink in the logs through which by dint of much squint-lag he secured a partial view of the bayou. \

"They're fetching up a keel boat to the shore. Miss Etetty—it's a whoop-eri" he announced. Betty's heart sank; she never doubted the purpose for which that boat was brought into the bayou, or that it nearly copcemed herself. ^

Halt an hour later Mrs. Hicks ap-peared with their breakfast, it was ln vain that Betty attempted to en-gage her in conversation. Either she cherished some personal feeling of dislike for her prisoner, or else the situation in which she herself was pitted had little to recommead it even to her dull mind, aad her dis-satisfaction waa expressed la Per at-titude toward the girl.

Bê tty passed the long hours of moralag la dreary speculation con-cerning what was happening at Belle Plain, In the end she realised that tiie day could go by and her absence occasion ao alarm. Steve might rea-sonably suppose George had driven her into Raleigh or to tbe^Bowens' and that she had kept the carriage. Finally'all her hope cantered bh Judge Price. He would expect liannibat dur-ing the morning; perhaps when the toy did! not arrive he; would bo tempt

solving the mystery of their disap- \ ed to go out to Belle Plata id dia

ance. She wondered what theories would offer themselves to his in-genious mind, tor she sensed some* thing of that Indomitable energy which in the face of rebuffs and laughter carried aim into the thick ot every sensation.

At noon Mrs. Hicks, as sullen as in the morning, brought them their din-ner. She had scarcely quitted the loft when a shri l l whistle pierced the si-lence that hung above the clearing. It was twice repeated, and the two women were heard to go from the cabin. Perhaps half an hour elapsed, then a step became audible on the packed earth of the dooryard. Some one entered the room below and be-gan to ascend* the narrow stairs, and Betty's fingers closed convulsively about Hannibal's. This was neither Mrs. Hicks nor her daughter, nor SlosBon with his clumsy- shuffle. There was a brief pause when the landing was reached, but it was only momen-tary; a hand lifted the bar, the door was thrown open, and Its space framed the figure ot a man. It was John Murrell.

Standing there he regarded Betty ln silence, but a deep-seated fire glowed in his sunken eyes. The sense of pos-session was raging through him, his temples throbbed, a fever stirred his blood. Love, such as it was, he un-doubtedly felt for her, and even his giant project, with all ita monstrous ramifications, was lost sight ot for the moment. She was the inspiration for it all, the goal and reward for which he struggled.

"Bf ty!" the single word fell softly from his lips. He stepped into the room, closing the door as he did so.

Tho girl's eyes were dilating with a mute horror, for by some swift, in-tuitive process of the mind. Which asked nothing of the logic of events, but dealt only with conclusions. Mur-rell stood revealed as Norton's mur-derer. Perhaps he read her thoughts, but he had lived in his degenerate ambitions until the common Judg-ments or the understanding of them no longer existed for him. That Bet-ty had loved Norton seemed Inconse-quential even; lt was a memory to be swept away by the force or his greater passion. So he watched her smilingly, but back of the smile waa the menace of unleashed Impulse.

"Can't you find some word of wel-come for me, Bettjr?" he asked at length, still softly, still with some-thing of entreaty in his tone.

"Then it was you—not Tom—who had me brought here!" She could have thanked Ood had lt been Tom, whose hate was not to be feared as she feared this man's love.

"Tom—no!" and Murrell laughed. "You didn't think I'd give you up? I am standing with a halter about my neck, and ail for your sake-—who'd risk as much for love of you?" He seemed to expand with savage pride that this was so, and took a step to* ward her.

"Don't come near me!" cried Betty, eyes blazed, and she looked at

him • wTth^Iohthing. "You'll learn* to be kinder," he ex-

ulted. "You wouldn't see me at Belle Plain; what was left tor me but to have you brought here?"

While Murrell was speaking the sig-nal that had told of his own presence on the opposite shore of the bayou was heard again. This served to ar-rest his attention. A look ot uncer-tainty passed over his face, then he made an impatient gesture aa if be dismissed t some thought that has! forced itself upon him, and turned to Betty.

"You don't ask what my purpose Is where; you are concerned; yon have no curiosity on that score?" She en-deavored to meet his glance with % glance as resolute, then her "eyes, sought the boy's upturned face. "I am going to send you down river, Bet-ty. Later I shall Join you tn New Or-leans, and when 1 leave the country you shall go with me—"

"Never!" gasped Betty. "As my wife, or however you choose

to call It I'll teach you what a man's love is like," he boasted, and extend-ed his hand. Betty shrank from him, aad his hand fell at his side. Ho locked at ber steadily out of his deep-sank eyes, in which blazed the fires of his passion, aad as he looked, her face paled aad flushed by turns. "You may learn to be Mad to me, Betty/ he sejd. "You may find it win t » worth your while." Betty made ao answer; she only gathered Mannibai closer to her side. "Why not accept what I have to offer, Betty?" Agaia he went nearer her, aad agaia she) Bhrank from blm, but the madaess of his otooiji was ia the ascendant He seized her aad drew'her to aim. Sfco struggled to free herself, but bis An-gers tightened about her.

MEANING OF "AT HALF MAST" At First Universal Symybol Was

Taken of Submission and Respect For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that whenever a prominent person dies, especially if he is connected with the government, the flags on public build-ings are hoisted only part of the way up, remarks the Toronto Mai l and Express. This is called "half mast." Did you ever stop to think what con-nection there could be between a flag that was not properly hoisted and the death of a great man?

Ever since flages were used in war it has been the custom to have the flag of the superior or conquering na-tion above that of the inferior or van-quished. When an army found itself hopelessly beaten it hauled its flag down far enough for the flag of the victors to be placed above it on the same pole. This was a token not only of submission, but of respect.

In those days when a famous sol-dier died flags were lowered out of respect to his memory. The custom long ago passed from purely mili-tary usage to public life of all kinds, the flag flying at half mast being a sign that the dead man as worthy of universal respect. The space left above it is for the nag of the great conqueror of all—the angel of death.

Collective Housekeeping. An English paper tells of an experi-

ment in collective; housekeeping in what is known as Brent Garden vil-lage. The dwelling houses contain all improvements except a kitchen. Meals for everybody are cooked at a cen-tral hall, and may either be eaten theie or sent home. A four-course din-ner costs only l shilling and 6 pence. Servants are supplied, when needed, from the central hall at a cost of about ten cents an hour.

"Just as a gentle reminder," replied the other; "that it he forgot the tip it's liable to hurt him next time."

West No Place for Consumption. Physicians in all of the eastern

states will be asked by the National Association for the Study and Pre-vention of Tuberculosis to stop send-ing consumptives in the last stages of tuberculosis, and without sufficient funds to the southwestern part of the United States In search of health. While it is impossible to tell accu-rately how many consumptives there are at present living in the states ol Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, south-ern California, and Western Texas, 11 is probable that no less than ten per cent of the 6,000,000 people in this territory have tuberculosis them-selves, or have come to the west be-cause some member of their family have had it. Every year, the health authorities estimate, not less than 10,000 consumptives, hopelessly dis eased, come west to die. For these cases, the climate of this section of the country can do nothing, and they are compelled to die in strange sur-roundings and thousands of miles from home and friends. The National Association points out further that from 50 to 60 per cent of these ad-vanced cases are too poor to provide the proper necessaries of life, and they are either starved to death or compelled to accept the meager char-ity which this part of the country af-fords.

A FOOD CONVERT Good Food the True Road to Health.

The pernicious habit some persons sti l l have of relying on nauseous drugs to relieve stomach trouble keeps up the patent medicine business and helps keep up the army of dyspeptics.

Indigestion—dyspepsia — is caused by what is put into the stomach in the way ot improper food, the kind that BO' taxes the strength of the digestive organs they are actually crippled.

The quail, the "bob-white" whose call floats softly up from the meadows in cool twilights and dewy summer mornings, is almost too well known to need description. Nearly every boy and girl who can whistle has re-turned^ his salute and heard it again and again, as the bird seems to search in bewilderment for that new note which he does not quite understand. "More rain" grandfather is likely to say, when he hears the call in the morning. "Bob-wh'te is calling for more rain." But though you may hear him it does- not follow that you may see him easily, unless your neigh-borhood is friendly or there are good game laws rigidly enforced. The quail has suffered much at the hands of the man with the gun, and the man at the plow has suffered too, for when the quail is gone grasshoppers and many other insect enemies of grow-ing crops have things all their own way.

A clean, white throat as full and fluffy as a lace jabot, is one of bob-white's first recognition marks, and the white or lemon-colored lines that run back over his head from beak to shoulders are another. This leaves him a neat little brown cap in the middle of his head and gives him a somewhat saucy apeparance. No bird can boast as large a family as tbe quail, and it requires the sharpest of eyes to find the' nest, hidden as it is ln grass and sometimes covered entirely, with a side entrance which looks as innocent as a mere tuft of straw lifted by field mice'. ' There are sometimes as many as threo tiers' of eggs, piled upon each other, and how so small a' bird can cover so many Is a mystery.

It is related in ' 'The Birds of Ohio," that one winter a famil? of quail came regularly every evening to a feeding place where grain was kept ,for them, and afterward slept under an evergreen tree fh the yard. Here ttiey were seen, one very stormy af' ternon wlien they had to seek'shelter early, huddled into a perfect circle, heads out, feathers fluffed up and ev-ery tall helping to shelter its heigh* bor. ' There are few birds, indeed, that cannot be brought hear by keeping feed and water ready for them.

Child's Popularity Explained. A winning lottery ticket of $100,-

000, in connection with the Nobles Bank was recently presented for payment at the State Bank in St.

etcrsburg, and it now transpires that the owner is an eight-year-old orphan, an inmate of the orphanage at Pskoff. The lottery ticket was her sole possession. Her relatives have hitherto done nothing f i r the child, but when the news of her good for-tune became known they were one and alUeager to adopt her. The au-thorities have placed her in the charge of an arch-priest, a distant con-nection of her father.

Net Properly Safeguarded Many school districts in thiB

state and some in this vicinity are not properly safeguarded in that their treasurers are not under lawful bonds. The law provides that the treasurer must give a per-sonal or surety bond for the full amount of money to come into his hands during each year of his term of office. This bond must have two sureties who are liable for the amount and each signer of it must justify in writing and under oath to tbe amount for which he is holden. The bond can not be signed by a member of the school board nor is the name of a married woman good on it.

which failed to have their treas-urers under proper bonds.

All district money must be kept by the treasurer separate from the other funds and must be on hand in all times in actual cash or must be deposited in the name of the treasurer as treasurer in a bank or banks. Any interest accuring oq the school money must be placed in the general fund of the school district. A treasurer who loans district money to any person or organization no matter how good security he may have, or who appropiates any in-terest for his own uses, lays him-self liable to fine and imprison-ment.
