couldn't deny her that. So she told,
me the story, and it was just another
proof Of the way men treats us poor
downtrodden creatures. She was an
actress when / first met her. You
must know l was better Off in those
days. I didn't live in no such poverty

in good house in n good street, and
so was my poor friend. She Used to

1t turned out she wasn't. But that
day she told me the whole stOry-how
she'd met rich young man who was
handsome and all that sort OF thing.
It's always that way, you know.

She wasn't more'n IS when he met her,

Leaving Mrs. Cooper's. Mr.. Mitchell
hurried back to the rooms of the Met
Topolitan Founding society and was
glad to learn that Colonel Payton had
not gone. lie sent In his card, and
within a. few minutes the two men
were alone In the colonel's private Of

said you would take the responsibility
Of keeping the matter from the knowl-
edge Of the authorities. and that's q Sc
rious business. l did not know but
that after maturer consideration you
had altered your views-come to your
senses, l should call It,"
You mean that, In your opinion, 1t
would be the proper course to give this
girl into custody. to abandon her to
her fate?"

her fate. indeed! And why not. pray ?
What fate awaits her but what she
richly deserves!"
Colonel. your society is In exist
ence for the protection Of children.
Would 1t not be cruel to have this
young girl arreStcd!'
"That Is not our affair. Women
cease to be children when they become
mothers. In this case 1t Is the cruelty
to the infant that we must consider"
"Ah! The abandonment Of the baby
is the paramount thought In your
mind?"
"It is, most decidedly. We are the
guardians Of those who are defense
less because Of their immature years"
"Then you believe that person who
abandous baby should be punished?''
IL do. 1t is the law, and ! am a
stickler for the letter Of the law. With
out laws and their strict enforcement
society must suffer Therefore the
guilty must be punished"
Regardless Of sex?"
"Assuredly. Men and women must
fare alike. In the eyes of justice the
evildoer Is seXless."
81 have heard that justice Is blind
but l have never Eeen told before
that she Is also heartless. I think, too
that you are wrong. for justice is typi
fed by female figure. Assuredly
then, even In the name of justice,
may plead for one of her sisters"
Look here. Mitchell. l hope you
have not come here to repeat all thai
rubbish which you talked this morn
Ing. I thought that perhaps you ha(
been making further Investigations"
"You are right. Thot Is what / have
DONE"
"TEcn what have you discovered
Nothing to the girls credit. I'll wager
Nothing to her discredlt. I assure
you. But, colonel. before tell yol
