by the hurricane above referred to.

drunkard, and that her Bertha Gallach-
littlebr0tner is running about the streets in
rags.
81 ran away to fetch him to the home"
she said. where l knew he would be well
treated"
1t seems though that after getting away
the girl was afraid to 90 to the house, and
wandered about the streets looking for
work with Bertha until they gave them
selves up to officers Kelley and BOyde.
Annie is sort of ''tTusty" at the home.
She has charge Of some of the keys, aud
with these she paved the way to freedom
for Bertha. The latter says now she is
sorry she ran away, and will never do so
again. She knew II was wrong 10 sing the
song. and that the pepper will do much to
help her to forget the tune.
Myrtle Kelley, another Of the girls served
with pepper, speaks we'll OF the Institution
and every one connected with IT, She Is 10
years old and has been in numerous REFORM
atorles in the United States. but in none
has she been treated so we'll as at the Aid
Society. Her mother is a dissolute woman
who travels from place to place. and when
ever she locates the authorities take charge
of the girl and place her In some kind OF an
institution. Myrtle was sent here from
Portland, Or. She has also concluded not
to sing any more.
Ths other two girls, whose names Mr..
Heap refused to dlvulge. were Questioned in
regard TO the pepper episode. They said ii
burned them, but that they had been
naughty aud doubtless deserved to be pun
ished. During their stay in the home they
had always been we'll treated, except when
they disObeyed the rules. Then they were
punished in various ways
One form of punishment Is to lock them
up in a cell, which Is simply large. we'll
lighted room, comfortably furnished and
containing spring bed. Refractory in
mates are often locked up in this room over
night, and sometimes one OF the girls sleeps
there in order 10 be alone.
Mr.. Heap does not think the pepper treat
ment too severe. Some of the girls are very
bad and 1t requires heroic measures to hold
them in check. He denies that any of the
girls have ever been locked up In dark
cell, and says they are always accorded the
kindest treatment when they behave them
selves. CHARLES DRYDEN.
