woman claimed that Whetstones parents
gave him money to leave the State and

With Fowls

William Galway, a young colored man,

tigation of charges of the larceny of poul
try that have been brought against him
by the officers Galway is believed by the
police to have been implicated in num-
ber of chicken robberies that have taken
place in the vicinity of Anacostia recently.
He was detected by Officer Ernest Brooks
of the Anacostia force trying to make
his way over the bridge at Twining City
early yesterday morning. Brooks demand
ed to know the contents of the bag that
Galway was carrying, and in reply re-
ceived the sack full in the face, while Cal
way started to run. The officer seized his
coat and prevented him. Subsequently he
was locked up at the station house. 1t
developed that three fat hens were in the
bag. Mrs. Laura Ridgeway, living in
Twining City, later reported to the police
the theft from her stable of three such
fowls, but she was unwilling to go to
court and swear to their identity. Still
later Sergeant Anderson learned of chick
en- robberies the same night at the homes
of Messrs. John and Henry Smith, on Bow
en- road, where a total Of nineteen chick
ems were secured One of the thieves, as
1t was afterward ascertained, had visited

The Mothers Heart.

With a suppressed sob the man broke
the seals to the other letter which he held.
This read in part:
MY darling son, only God knows how
glad 1 am to think that you will be with
me during the holidays. 1t is SO lone
some here, and L have been very sick,
brought on by worry, the doctor says That
is why I did not write you long ago.
I felt that it would not be right to trouble
you with the thought of my sickness when
you were doing your best to make enough
money to save the dear old home that your
precious father worked so hard to get,
and to support your cid mother and the
wife you love so well. in comfort the rest
of their days. 1t will break my heart if
you do not come home. Come
sure"
The hand that held this letter trembled so
violently that the paper dropped from Its
grasp and fell to the floor. The man stoop-
ed and picked it up with a groan. Then he
pulled the old hat from his head. and with
his trembling hands wiped great beads of
perspiration from his brow He started to
walk toward the door. but staggered so
that he was forced to lean against the wall
to keep from falling. And there he stood
for at least ten minutes, with his head
bowed and his eyes closed.
1t seemed to him that he could not
breathe.
Would this last letter that he had sent
And this disappointment over my failure
to come home will not be the worst of 1t,
he groaned. "She does not know that here
in my pocket is letter that l have just
received from the holder of the mortgage,
saying that unless | can give him one hun
dred dollars before the 1st of January he
must foreclose. And here l am without one
cent in my pocket If my letter does not
kill her, this news Will.
And all this because no one has been
willing to be my friend-to extend me a
helping hand" he thought as he staggered
down the steps and out to the street. "Oh,
God. what have l done to deserve death?

The man still had faith in humanity.

rising like ~esurrected beings from the
ruin and desolation OF his former
phantasles. God was now the object OF
his worship. Beauty was not divinity,
though still divine and especially so,
The beauty of the restful and the risen,
OF Paradise and Glory's higher home,
Spirit and element forever Joined,
Bright symbol Of blest union yet TO be,
When heaven and earth are wed eter-
nally.
In other words, his vision, sharpened
by the Spirit Of Truth 10 see things
not as they seem, but as they are, was
still appreeiative OF his former Ideals
now viewed in their proper light and
due proportions; and he proceeds to
speak Of beauty and Of love in a fine
apostrophe to their chief earthly en-
bodiments.
His Ideals Of glory undergo a similar
change, and he is no longer deceived by
the worlds estimate Of greatness:
Be not beguiled-not what men think
and say.
But what God sees and knows Is what

And after discussion OF the true
standards Of greatness, 'mlghtiness OF
mind" and grandeur of the soul" the
poet goes on to give his philosophy of
life-"why men are not alike In mag
nitude." Truth, teaching charity, gave
him to discern:
Why souls. like stars, all differ In de-
gree,
And cannot show an even excellence
Because not equal In nobility
Since some. than others, have more
SUBMITS climbed,
More light absorbed, more moral might
evolved,
Are wiser, worthier, than those they
