after the cars he went re rounded

gies to discovering what had become of
those they sought.
The trail finally led them to the
water. and then they knew the crisis
was near.
In all his life Jack Oyerton never
suffered such wretched pangs of re-
morse and despair as came upon him
while they looked out upon the dark
waters where the stars were reflected
upon myriads of little wavelets. and
considered what trackless waste the
sea might be.
The detective at last secured positive
news.
Those they sought had gone to sea
in small steamer that had evidently
been awaiting their arrival.

properly conducted. The Young Mems
Christian association added very largely
to its membership by providing limo
cent entertainment for young men. But
the difficulty in the way Of the plan Of
the forward movement leader Is to
find persons willing to risk investment
In what he suggests, unless his idea is to
have such places established and main
tanned through public ~benefcence,
which would be a rather uncertain thing
to rely upon. At all events, the idea is
not unworthy Of consideration by those
who are seeking to reform such condi-
tions as Mr.. Gray points o u and which
are by no means confined to Chicago,
but exist in greater or less degree In
all the larger cities. Temperance cru
sades and religious revivals really ac-
complish little good that is lasting and
generally do not reach the people who
are most in need of reformation. 1t
would be a great social benefit, GER
tainly, IL there were provided harmless
entertainment that would draw people,
particularly the young, away from
places whose tendency is to debase and
demoralize.

Plenty OF Chance 60 Keep In Line
with the Procession.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
One day Americans are told by some mos
senger OF sad tidings that there is no
longer any chance In this country for the
young man. Another day Il Is proclaimed
that there is no chance for the old man.
Another day the gloomy news is made pub
lie that there Is nc ic7ger any chance for a
workman who Is over 80. II all these
statements are true there is no longer a
chance for anybody unless he shall have
been born a millionaire. But the lot OF
those WI are fed from golden spoons and
rocked in silver cradles is ~unenviable, for
according TO some authorities they never
amount to anything. They never have a
chance, It is said, because they are loaded
down with riches. AS nobody has a chance
II Is about time for the appearance OF the
angel spoken OF In Revelation, who is to
cry out, Woe, woe, woe. to the inhabitants
Of the earth"
This declaration that there is no longer
any chance for the mechanic or laborer who
is in the prime OF life is based on what is
said to be the present practice of railroads
and some large manufacturing corporations
not to hire men who are over So. Only two
railroads have been mentioned specifically
and no manufacturing corporation has been
mentioned. There is no accurate informa-
ton as to the extent to which the oppor-
~tunitieS for employment Of the men who
are over IS have been limited by this new
practice. Until these opportunities shall
appear to have been really limited there is
no reason why the workmen of 10 years of
age should feel seriously alarmed as to
their future. Employers have whims and
notions sometimes. 1t may seem to one en-
ployer that he can get more or better work
out Of mechanics who are under 35 than
out Of those who are over that age. Such
an assumption would be correct as to some
workmen and incorrect as to others. The
efficiency of 6 mar cannot be measured ac-
c~urately by his age. The presumption is
that most employers will not establish an
age limit, but will hire any man who is able
to do good work.
The mechanics who are over IS should not
be disheartened and fancy that there is no
relief for them except in the grave. Nor
should the young men be discouraged. There
Is a chance for them. There is a chance
also for the sons Of plutocrats. There is
still a chance for everybody who is deserv-
ing. =
