expert asked to form conclusions and draw
inferences from a single example letter

must have been my good fortune that
tempted me. 1 had got a raise that day;
and the thought of promotion made my
spirits rise. My companions knew it,
too, and they came crowding around me,
after work was over, urging me to treat
and show what a good fellow l was.
Five dollars a month may not be much
to some people, but to our little family
it was a great deal. Mary would make
ed my work that afternoon, and I
planned how 1 would surprise her with
the extra money the next pay day.
1 can't tell yet how it came about, but
soon l found myself in the street with
a crow of fellows around me, all beg
ging for a drink; and next thing l knew
l was in a saloon over the bar. hat was
all, but it means a great deal, for l drank,
not one but many glasses, and when l
got home that night it was late-and
was drunk.
Mary was sitting up for me. Poor girl,
she had walke the street for an hour
watching our door for fear of missing
me: and she was tired. But when she
saw me. Oh shall 1 ever forget that look.
Dazed though l was, l saw the horror in
her eyes; and maudlin though the whis-
key had made me, I read her %reproach.
And it maddened me.

ooh Tom," she began, but she couldn't
get any further. She sprang toward me
threw her arms around my neck and be-
gan sobbing as though she would never
stop.
Let go of me-" I said, trying to shake
her off. But she chung the closer.
ooh Tom, Tom" she cried and each
time T fhoupht she would sob her heart
out.
D. YOU" I shouted, pulling at her
arms that We're clasped around my neck.

from me as though I had struck her.
Il mean it," I yelled, now crazy with
a drunken frenzy, land if you don't be-
lieve it, take that" And before l knew
it I had hit her square in the face. She
grasped my coat with one hand and
fought off the blows with the other. But
I grasped her by the throat and mad
dened by her white desperate face struck
her again and again.
When | lOOSened her she fell fiat upon
the floor and l thought she was dead,
but no, in a minute she struggled to her
feet and staggered toward the door. I
stood stupidity watching her. She opened
the door and fell upon the sill.
Brute that I was, I can hardly bear
to recall it even now, I staggered to the
door after her and pushed her out with
my foot. 1 noticed. as I did so, that she
lay still and that there was a little
stream of blood trickling down her fore
head. I stood gazing at her in stupid
wonder for a minute, then I slammed
the door and locked it-with her outside.
The next morning 1 was awakened
by a stream of yellow sunlight which
crept in through a broken blind l sat
upright for a minute wondering what
had happened, for I lay partly dressed
upon the floor while the bed stood white
and untouched on the opposite side of
the room.
Then it all came back. But where was
Mary. Half dazed. still, and with my
head splitting I walked to the door and
opened it. She was not there and l would
have thought it all a horrid dream but
for a trickle of blood upon the doorsill
and a rag of Mary's dress which had
torn off in the door. ! called Mary but
she did not come. I called louder but
she did not answer. AS I called again
the people downstairs came out into the
hall and 1 skunk back. They must not
know.
But soon I began to hear strange noises
in the street. Peeping out through the
blinds I saw a . crowd talking excitedly
and in the midst a bluecoat who was
bending Over something.
The crowd grew larger and larger, ]
quickly watching from above; and after
what seemed to me hours, they came
with a wagon and took it away-the
body of a woman. She was young and
pretty-for l got a glimpse of her face
And yes, God forgive me! 1t was Mary!
The next day l went to they
must not know-and that night I moved
away. 1 expected every minute that they
would come and get me, but meanwhile
I worked with a quiet doggedness, for q
man breads to be arrested-and for MUIR
der. Days l worked n nights I dream'

dreams-oh such dreams. And so two
days passed away.
The third day an awful fascination
drew me toward the morgue, for there 1
read they had carried the woman and L
went down. l chose noon, when l could
so without leaving my work, and in the
brief five minut 1 was there I identi-
fled Mary. l knew her, laid out though
she was. with fifty other women, all
cold and bruised l should have known
her in ten millions, Mary with her
smooth brow and gentle face. How
changed she was. What dark lines un-
der her eyes. I might easily not have
known her-she was so different.
l went back to my work. Why did
they not come to arrest me? There was
a reward out for the murderer of the wo-
man who lay in the street dead. Strange
that they did not suspect me. :,
One week later. though it seemed q
year, I went back home. 1 could not tell
what drew me there, but when Saturday
night came, there came thoughts of
Mary n home, and 1 could not keep
away. 60
The rooms were empty. when l opened
the door. and when l stepped inside 1
felt ghostly and creepy. The bed lay
smooth and white as a week ago. The
twilight crept in through the windows.
The furniture, poor but comfortable
stood in the old places in the room. Be-
yond was Mary's pantry all set with tins
just as she had left it that day. Even
her work basket was there with a stock
ing hanging from one side of it. / stepped
over to the rocking chair-my chair-and
there stood my slippers as she had set
them a week ago-the night l struck her

Saturday Night Tragedy.
(By Augusta PrescOtt.)

1t was a bleak dismal day; and the
day. Yes, it was shivering cold that
morning at the morgue, although out
side the air was damp and foggy but not
cold.
The people who visit the morSue are
seldom happy souls. None more miser-
able than l., that bleak dismal day, as 1
sneaked in and as quietly crept out.
1 was looking for a face; and I found
it!
Never shall I forget-What a
place way to begin a t~ragedy-the day
on which I went out from my home with
the brand of Cain upon my forehead and
the heart of a murderer in my bosom.
I have lived it over again a thousand
times; and suffered a thousand tortures.
And the sight of the face afterwards, in
the morgue. Oh, it is too terrible. My
head swims and my brain grows %tortuous
ever forget it.
1 came home that day drunk. Not
blind, but ugly, as men get when they
have taken a glass too much; n Whis-
key always did craze me.
We had been married only a year, my
Mary and 1, and we were looking into
the beyond very earnestly. Mary was
happy as a lark all day long, for she was
a loving wife and longed to fill our home
with the glad voices that make home
worth having. l was happy too l had
turned over my new leaf a year before;
and with Gods help had kept it clean.
Yes, from Tom Dean, the ~drunkard, !
had become Tom Dean, the sober. l had
not taken one drop since ! was married
and Mary and l were as proud of it as
we could be. And spring was coming.

Question B0thering Chicago
Women
WHO ORGANIZED A CLUB
Some Members Whose Husbands Want
Them to Take Whisky After
Turkish Baths.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE Tribune says:
Shall drinks b. served after Turkish
baths is a question which the Chicago
Woman's Athletic club is being forced to
decide. Mrs. 2. D. Armour is president
of the club and she is quoted as being op-
posed to the Introduction of malt, yineous
or spurious liquors into the social life OF
the organization. With drinks the con-
servatives see breakers ahead. so the
cabinet is holding executive session and
the first event in which the club is en-
tered is a bout with the temperance cues
ton.
Members who do not care to swing on
the trapeze and dive into the swimming
pool want to know what they are going
to get out of the $40 they pay each year
II they cannot give little l%uncheons at the
club. And they will not give little
luncheons without wine. Other member
say to them that if they do not want to
swim, there is the library. They can read.
And the members who want whisky and
wine say that as for reading they can
read at home. Then a hygienic question
enters into the argument to complicate it
still further. Some of the women say
their husbands will not let them take
Turkish baths unless they can have
whisky after it to warm them up.
The club is preparing quarters on
Michigan avenue near the art institute
and expect to open it's building in the
spring. Among the members are the
most prominent society women in Chi
cago including Mrs. p. D. Armour, presi-
dent; Mrs. Cyrus Fl. Mccormick, Mrs. T.
". Robson, Mrs. r.. s. Lyon, Mrs. j. Og-
den Armour, Mrs. Chauncey J. Blair, Mrs,
