NEW YORK GIRLS IRE

Only 43o Were Convicted in Juve-
nile Court, Against 1900 Male
Urchins of the Street.

NEW YORK. jan. 1.-THE first annual
report of the Juvenile Court in this city
has just been issued. One of the interest
ing features is the comparatively small
number of girl offenders. Out of 4,790 chill
dren under sixteen years convicted by the
magistrates 1890 were boys. while only 43O
were girls. Against this showing for the
girls is their tendency, according 20 the
report. To commit suicide at fancied griev-

charge. Each Of them asserted that her
parents had failed to care for her. No

sat down and begun to share 1T. HIS

he was revolving! Before she had fin

conclusion that she hated him.
AS he swallowed his last mouthtul
of food, Rothgar said abruptly, Ca

1t was a respite to be alone, and she
accepted it gratefully. But it was only
a respite; she never for a moment
lost sight Of that. The battle must
be faced, and faced boldly. One word
of reluctance would be the surest be-
trayal of her secret. A betrayal meant
Rothgar! She shivered as she fancied
she still felt his greasy touch upon
her hair. To become his property
that he might even kiss! With gasp
of relief, she turned her thoughts
back to the battle.

Then Rothgar's harsh voice sounded,
shouting her name-Fridtjof's name.
Giving her scarf a hasty twist about
her arm, she knotted it with her teeth;
and selling the sword in her little
brown hand clotted with her own
blood, she ran out into the tumult.
Shrir and clear from the opposite
hills came the notes Of the English
horns, as down the green slope moved
the ranks of English bowmen. The
hum of Danish voices sank in a

The tent was empty, though scat

where sleepers might have rested.
But from outside, clatter OF hurry

She sat up, straining eye and ear.
The jubilant voices shouted greetings
that Just missed being Ineligible.
While she was trying to unravel 1t
all, one pair of the hurrying feet
halted before the entrance. After a
muttered word with the sentinel, they
came on and brought the son of LODI
brok into view.
The girl started up with gasp of
alarm, then made the strange dis
covery that she was no longer afraid
of him. Though he showed against
the linen wall as brawny and big of
jowl as he had loomed up the night
before, she found herself moved only
to dislike. What had been the matter
last night? Understanding nothing
of the clairvoyant power of sharpened
nerves, she set it down to cowardice,
and put on an extra swagger now as
her eye met his.

ary." said one of the members, by an
Indian convert in New Mexico. The
cactus grows only in caverns, ana Is
found in the Guadalupe mountains.
The beautiful vase-shaped maroon
blooms develop to over two inches IN
diameter, and there are as many as
12O on a mature plant. In early tunes
the faithful Indians used the caverns
as churches, and beautiful places OF
worship they must have made, with
majestic walls of variegated lime
stone wreathed in Towering juniper
and mountain laurel. They marched
over the mountain trails In spring
chanting seasonal songs to their gods.
when they reached the mouth OF the
cavern the chiefs were decorated with
the pyramid cacti, and a dance was
performed.
"Then chanting, dancing, and the
sacrifice of animals took place In the
cave. often the redskins, worn out
with their exertions, fell asleep and
stayed through the day and night OF
devotion within the mysterious walls.
To sleep near the sacred cactus plants
was the same to the aborigines as q
visit to Mecca is to the Mohammedan.
The touching of its leaves was puri'
fcation in itself. From some mys'
terious part of the plant liquid was
extracted to serve for medicine, and
