She simply washes her hands OF

At a conference between Supt

decided to accept the Night Super

way out of the trouble at the hos

In her written communication to

merely tried to enforce discipline

brought to Colonel Isaac II. Marrow,
Immigrant inspector in charge of this
port
The innocent victims Of the deal

to this city, II is said, under the i'm
preston that they are to be supplied
with remuneratiVe employment in re-
spectacle places and all unconscious
Of the awful fate in store for them
when they leave their Canadian
homes.
Girls, il is said, from Montreal and
other Canadian cities have been
brought to this city for immoral pur-
poses and from the reports, which
have been received by the immigrant
inspector they are held here in dis
orderly houses.
So revolving are the reports that
have been received that they are un-
fit for publication. Beyond the mere
announcement that Canadian girls are
said to have been imported to this
city, Colonel Marrow refuses to dis
cuss the cases.

Willie Shore, a small boy of 10, has
already attained to a captaincq. His
is an irregular company, and his posi-

he has the title and the respect that
goes with it. He is the captain of a
band of outlaws, most of them about
his age, and several of them escapes
from the Orphans home, the deten-
ton home and all known to the police
Captain Bill was arrested by Of
ficer Gilpin of the East Side station
just before midnight There were
other members of the gang present,
but at the captains orders they made
their escape. He happened to be the
first to fall into the hands of the
officer and he sacrificed himself by
making a stubborn, vicious fight The
officer found his hands full. SO that
the other boys had an opportunity to
escape.

But that was not to be the end OF
the romance of the County Cork. Out
in the city hall corridor were waiting
the eight grown sons and daughters,
and when the parents left the court
room there was a conference. Finally
Michael Leahy took the shriVeled
hand of Mary Leahy, on one hnger
of which she wore the gold band he
had placed there 40 years ago, and led
her away. Tears ran down the fur-
rowed cheeks of both, but they were
lust as happy as on that day when
Michael unburdened his heart and
Mary answered yes.
