| let's divinity" He is upon the earth to
be used by power higher than himself to
glorify gods or rebel against them accord
ing as it peases his creator, and hence he
is what he is according to a general plan
and purpose.
II that be true, Holmes murdered by
wholesale because he was arbitrarily as
signed to the role of a man-slayer, and
provided with ample inclination and
strength of character to resist any over
lures from his higher nature to spare his
victims, and SO it must be that he is
blameless for the lives he took. But there
is something implanted in every human
being that insists upon holding every one
responsible for his acts, and no philoso-
ply, gospel or doctrine will ever be able to
convince mankind otherwise. There is a
grandeur in personal responsibility which
no one even the greatest criminal, would
surrender for any consideration. The Il
am r. which every human being delights
in repeating to himself is the one great in
centive to independent personal thought
and action. No sane man would think of
giving up his personality and individuality
for any compensation that could possibly
be offered.
There are those who vehemently deny
that divinity, predestination or total de-
pravity molds the criminal, but they ad-
tvocate the doctrine of heredity. which is a
far weaker and less tenable theory than
any other. To believe that one must be
born right TO be right is a proposition
that cannot be sustained by logic or fact;
besides. it is cruel, in that it places the
unborn absolutely at the disposal of men
and women who may and may not them
selves be criminals. Heredity makes the
child subject to the caprice of chance. 1t
consigns him arbitrarily and irrevocably
to life OF crime or life of correct living,
as inclination is transmitted to him by his
parents. He comes into the world equipped
with propensities for good or for evil, ac-
for the law of heredity and of atavism
marked him and he must go to his place
upon the treadmill of human action.
If the law takes him in hand for offend
ing against it he must submit TO the pun

east. In both she was disappointed, and
even the teamsters went away as soon as
they had unloaded the piles of household
goods.
1t was an awful day when mother and
daughter found themselves alone in the
cherries house, with the hot wind whist
ling around it. But it was only the begin
ming OF eight long years OF hardships. JET
tery mines were in wild CANYON about
five miles from the house, and he spent
most OF bis time there. Frequently he
would be absent for several days. When
al home he seldom spoke and he daily be-
came more morose.
Nothing that could be obtained was
wanting in the little household. Jeffery
made arrangements with man at Keller
TO come to the house once month and
bring such things as were needed and take
orders for more. They had all the deli
cacies that could be transported to the
region and also ali of the latest books and
magazines. Jeffery felt that if his wife
and child were not happy it was their own
fault.
Mrs. Jeffery certainly made the best Of
things, for she educated Carrie and kent
her dressed in pretty and becoming
clothes. Her met cd of keeping the
bouse was as nearly like her own home as

WHAT MOLDS
THE CRIMINAL
The QUESTION VIEWED FROM 4
THEosoPHICAL STANDPOINT.

By confessing to the murder of twenty
five or more men, women and children H.
I'll. Holmes removes all doubt as to his
guilt. The enormity of the crimes he
committed and the various reasons he
assigns for committing them make the
man an interesting study on criminology
lines. Something moved him to delight
i'll taking the life of human beings, but
what it was that moved HIM is the ques-
ton. Holmes does not differ, however,
from any other criminal except in degree
of criminality. The chicken-thief has
more moral unfoldment than the MUIR
derer and therefore he is not SO great a
criminal, but he is criminal. This brings
up the question of why the chicken
thief, being a criminal should confne his
criminal acts to stealing property of small
value and the murderer extend his Grim
inal acts to the taking of human life; or,
in other words, what is it that molds a
Holmes into a heartless murderer and a
Friday into petty thief? Hamlet saws,
There is divinity that shapes our ends,
rough hew them as we will" If that is
divinely true, it follows that it is ''divin-
ity" that molds the criminal-and the
good man, too, sinner and saint-accord-
ing to ''diviniuy's" own sweet will and in
clination. If, th en-, divinity" shapes the
course of man for life OF crime or life
of righteous living, a man only kicks
against the pricks of an eternal de-
cree" when he essays to depart from the
already blazed way he shall go.
But that philosophy is the very essence
OF fatalism, and it makes so much of a
machine of man that it is repulsive to
him, whether his aspirations be for higher
or lower levels of existence. It is not true.
however, that men, law-breakers, are
nodded into criminals by some one or
some intelligent force outside of them
selves. If criminals are the product of a
molding process it follows that there was
time when they were not criminals, and
it follows, too, that they were as clay in
the hands of the potter to be shaped to
suit his purpose. II that be true, the
criminal is at once relieved of all responsi- :
bility for his acts, for he is under the law
of PauPs election and predestination,

had TO keep out of sight when Jeffery was
about, but still he managed to see good
deal of Carrie and her mother.
1t was a week before the Indian re-
turned, saying that the wizard could not
come until the next moon. Jeffery at
once started for his nine, and in less than
an hour the Indian was in the deepest
recesses of the cave tied band and foot,
Walter having managed to Jump on him
from behind a rock and subdued the
coward without trouble.
Jeffery was In no hurry to come back
from the mine, and in week many
things had happened. Walter had told
Carrie the old, old story beside the spring
in the barren desert, and no doubt it
sounded as sweet to her ears as to any
woman that ever lived, for she accepted
him on the spot and mamma gave her
consent at once. 1t was planned that they
should all leave as soon as possible.
There was no hitch in the arrangements.
note was left on a table telling Jeffery
that they had gone and tia. the Indian
was tied up in the cave back of the spring,
but with plenty of food and water to last
him month or more.
The two women babe farewell to their
prison that afternoon, and, in company
with Walter, started across the desert just
as the sun was setting. This was to give
them start by preventing Jefferv follow
ing their trail IN case he returned that
night. Walters horse was fine, power
full brute, but those ridden by the two
women were the poor jaded creatures be-
longing to Jeffery and could not be de-
pended upon for any great amount of
speed.
The night trip across the southern part
of the desert was trying one to the two
women. To them every ghostly cactus
appeared to be some enemy, and in the
awful stiffness they fancied the howl of
every wild beast to be the enraged Jeffery
in pursuit.
No stop was made until morning, when
they had reached the western side of the
desert and there was a little sign of vegeta-
| ton. At point called Windy Gap road
commenced that led to Hinckley, station
on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad.
Walter, however, decided to cut across the
desert for Daggett and there take the train
for Los Angeles. 1t was about seventh
m lies, and at the end of three days they
had covered all but ten of it without being
compelled to urge their horses. The next
| morning, after they had been an hour or
so on the road, cloud of dust in the dis.
| tance told of pursuit. By the aid of a pow
erful glass Walter assured himself that
Jeffery was on the trail. The horses were
urged to their utmost, but it was losing
game from the start, and the cloud of dust
grew nearer and nearer until it was not
more than four miles in the rear.
Walter had determined not to give in
and also made up his mind to shoot if it
became necessary. Mrs. Jeffery and Car
RE never lost courage. When the cloud OF

An Old Art Revived.

Daguerreotypes are coming into vogue
again. This were good news. good

a photograph. and it is wonder that pho
Biography ever swamped this more dis
tinguished and exclusive art. Not long
ago the Listener saw wonderful coll &C.
ton OF daguerreotypes in an old house up
IN the country; though they were ali
taken at least forty years ago, there were
as sharp and clear in their neat black
cases as if they had been taken but the day
before and some of them were as beautiful
as good miniatures. Wnen we consider
that all these fine old daguerreotypes were
made by professional operators with little
experience and no artistic training, and
reflect upon the amount OF skill and taste
that is applied to amateur photography at
this day we may realize somethi ng of
what the result of the application of an
equal amount of skill and taste to re-
vived daguerreotype art might be.-B Boston

vance guard of the delegates to the DEM
oeratic state convention arrives it seems
that the sentiment for free silver eoinage
is even stronger than anticipated. 1t is
almost impossible to find an advocate of
the single gold standard among the
democrats present tonight.
There is not the slightest doubt that
the delegates-at-large will be free silver
men, and it is likely that the convention
will declare in favor of the unit rule and
instruct the delegation to Chicago and
cast the entire vote of the state for free
silver coinage.
Tonight 1t was announced that the
state central committee would name a
gold standard democrat for temporary
chairman of the convention. This so ex-
asperated the free Silver men that they
issued notices from their headquarters
that If this was done they would ignore
the selection and choose a chairman of
their own. They have agreed upon
Thomas e. Powell of this city for tempo
rary chairman.
The free silver organization has de-
cided that the convention shall not in
dorse any candidate for the presidential
nominal ton This will be fatal to the
aspirations of John w. Boolxwalter who
was to ask for the Endorsement Of the
convention. His friends say a motion
will be made to give this Endorsement.
The platform is to be short. Tt will de-

coinage of silver at the ratio of is to 1;

lature and the administration OF Gov
