on the West Side, in the very heart of
the Polish quarter. During her ten
years of life Alice had never wavered
in absolute alteration of her father,
and Jim returned her affection TO the
limit of his nature.
They say that criminals are born,
not made. 1t is a true saying, In Jims
case, at least. As a boy he was in no
way abnormal, adhering in all re-
spects to the proud traditions of his
stiff-necked father, who owned broad
acres in Mississippi and ruled his hun
dreds of well-kept slaves with firm
generosity. There was no mother. She
died during Jim's infancy. But at hf-
teen came a sudden passion for money
His monthly allowance was too sien.
der for his expensive tastes. He must
have more. He thought about 1t night
and day. And then cropped out a
strain of low cunning that had shown
at intervals in his paternal ancestry
for generations u~ncounted. he formed
his plans deliberately, and one night
during his fathers absence he entered
the library. broke open the little iron
safe, and decamped with upwards OF
a thousand dollars in cash.
Ten years later Jim returned to the
plantation. Here he found strangers,
from the North, to whom his father
had sold the family home. To his
credit be 1t said that he wept over the
old mans grave, and again when the
County Judge turned ove to him, in
securities and cash, all his fathers
property, for there was no will and
Jim was the only heir. He had left
home a boy; he returned a man, ex-
perienced in the ways OF the sea ana
In the paths of crime. But his SUD
denly-acquired wealth, his recollec-
tons of his father, and contact with
old and forgiving friends, seemed to
wipe out the past. He threw aside his
degenerate habits. He became a gen.
tleman, and took up his abode in the
city Of New York.
It is a far cry from the plantation
to Chicago, and the little room in the
Polish quarter. Thirty years lay be-
tween-three decades of steady degra-
dation. Very bitter were Jim's recol-
lections this December night, as he
limped along State street beneath the
glare Of the electric lights cycling
sharply every carriage waiting by the
curb. A raw wind blew in from the
lake. His hands were numb. HIS
whole body ached with the cold. HIS
game leg, which had been doctored
during his term in Sing Sing, was be.
ginning to bother him again. 1t had
q way Of stiffening In the hip joint,
SO that his toe dragged a little at
every step.
And as though the situation were
not sad enough already, fate threw
another burden on his shoulders. He
had made a promise to little Alice.
and 1t must be kept, regardless or
consequences or effort. She had snip
ped into his bed early that morning
and cuddled down beside him. pa
"a" she said. "do you know what day
tomorrow win be?"
"Not Sunday, surely" he replied.
He could attach no special importance

part, except such repetition as is
called for by the musical score.

campaign OF GOOD government Calls
Out Enthusiastic Aid of Feminine
Sex.
"The man can do it but will not;
the woman would do it but may not.
We are bound hand and foot. but for
~tunately our tongues are not tied, .
said Mrs. G. A. knollenberg, of Rich
mond, Indiana. y bitter fight was on
for the election of Mayor of that city.
The present incumbent, whose private
and public life is obnoxious to the
better element of the town, was up for
reelection. For eight years the poll
teal machine had backed the Mayor,
a mere tool in the hands of unscrupu-
lous leaders. The forces of good gov
eminent seemed on the very verge of
defeat, when the women arose in their
might, twelve hundred strong, demand
ing that their little city be controlled
by men of clean character-that good
instead of evil, honesty instead of
graft, decency instead of indecency,
be the watchwords.
They held a great mas meeting and
made stirring speeches. 1t was not n
question of politics; it was the moral
sentiment of the community speaking
through its wives and mothers. And
it was effective. The Mayor went
down to defeat. Said a leading paper:
1.-THE women of Richmond made the
result possible. The tide began to
turn when the women met and in be
half of womanhood and the sanctity
of the home protested against the CON
t%inuance of the present regime. 1t
was not until then that the real i'm
port of he fight was felt"

They are five miles apart. The one, Frenchpark, lies beneath the black shadow of the big ancestral man. 1 sion of Lord de Freyne. The other, Lcughlynn, is already beginning to feel the sunshine that is reflected from : the renovated walls of another build ! ing, which five years ago was the big ancestral mansion of Lord Dillon. The estate of Lord Dillon has already been sold to the tenantry The lands that were empty have been restored to the old occupiers. The mansion has been changed into f1ourising school of ili dustries, where POO children from the neighborhood are learning those arts that are necessary to make comforta- ble and happy homes for them ln Ireland.
