things that they have passed by insensble de,
grees from the pleasant intimacy of childhood
to condition Of mere acquaintaneeship.
This state of affairs is more the brothers
fault than it is the sisters they are both equally
to blame When they were sixteen or seventeen
they went everywhere together, but as they grew
older they began more and more to seek the
society of other people. The brother formed new
friends, and besides he wanted change from
the monotony of the society of one person alone;
and the girl wanted to prove the efficacy of her
charms by being seen out in the society of other
young men. She soon became too busy with her
other friends to have any time for her brother.
She certainly had no time to go out with him,
and often it happened that she saw very little
of him. In the mornings he generally went out
long before she got up, and in the evenings either
he or she was out to dinner If they met acci
dentally at dance her card was always filed
with other fellows names, and she couldn't pos
sibly substitute her brothers for any of them.
Other girls were much more interesting be-
cause there was so much to learn about them,
and he knew all there to know about his
sister.
The society of "the boys" was preferable to
that of girls, anyway, because with "the boys
you could do Just as you pleased, and with girls
you had to be on your best behavior. With your

the idle curiosity" but also the real affection
hidden behind the indifferent exterior. But per-
haps this deeper issue never does come along,
and then they go on doubling each other and
prolongng each others misery until the end OF
the chapter
In the case of the brother and sister in the
theatre there are no such doubts and misunder-
standings.
They have each formed other friends, but they
have not at the same time let closer affections
wane. He has continued to take an undlsguised
interest in his sisters doings, and She no mat
ter how many attendants she has. always man
aged to find time for her brother
She has not only kept two or three spaces
open ON her dance card for her brothers name,
but she has even gone to dances with him, and
sat out with him the dances they didn't quite
like as il he had been some other girls brother.
She has contrived to make their family sitting
room Just as interesting some other girls
parlor and she has learned to play the music
he liked just as if he had been her most favored
admrer.
She has encouraged him to to her with
all his troubles and all his hopes and successes,
and she, in turn, has made him the conhdant OF
all her little grlish secrets.
In her case what has been accomplished has
been more than the mere keeping alive of their
affection. Their mother died while they were
both young and the sister, by making her com
pany so delightful to her brother, and their home
so interesting, has kept him from the doubtful
associations and bad habits he would otherwise
have formed.
Their father, with all his knowledge of the
world, could not have so protected his son as
his daughter has unwittngly done. He could
have pointed out the dangers, but he could not
have even conceived of this most efficient way
of avoiding them.
This brother and sister are so devoted that
they will probably never leave each other but
will go on keeping house together in perfect love
and unity until the end of their lives.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-10-21

sister you had to be on your very best behavior,
for she belonged to the family, and the family,
you know, is always much more critical than
anyone else.
So it happened that the brother and sister
drifted unconseiousy apart. When they did
finally become aware of the change in their re-
lations they became sulky, considered themselves
misunderstood, and each proceeded to throw
the blame the other.
The brother could not understand why his sis
ter took interest in his affairs beyond that of
eide curiosity" nor why she apparently never
wanted to go out with him..
The sister, for her part felt deeply hurt at her
brothers apparent unwillingness to be seen out
with her, and his very evident inclination for
the society of some other girl She also resented
the fact that his only reason for wanting to know
anything about her doings was, apparently, only
that he could tease her.
As matter of fact they were both mistaken
He would have been glad to take her out if
he had thought that his society was really want
ed and she would have been glad to make time
for him if she had thought that he really wanted
to take her.
By-and-by, in all probability, some deeper issue
comes along, something more important than the
ordinary, everyday events. and then both realize
not only the deeper interest that lay behind

added, with another unnecessary emphasis on his

But the detective overcame this obstacle. He
made his introduction charmingly informal by
display Of his business card. The man became
communicative at once; it might mean a certain
amount Of convenient immunity to him.
"You had a lady fare, with black eyes, this
afternoon Where did you leave herr" demand

When at last the detective confronted Bertha

feel it pauses for an instant in the sheer joy
of certainty before making its fatal spring. But
in this the detectives certainty was too GER
tain. He had undervalued the game. In fact,
so far had he undervalued it that he did not even
trouble himself to display his usual adrotness.
"You were in Frenzer's establishment this
afternoon" he began, blunty, after the civity
OF displaying his name and occupation had been
passed
Bertha had shown a webred lack of concern
and barely perceptible interest at the showing
Of the document. She took it as something out
side her world. She was still pleasantly uncon-
cerned at the directness of the question.
"You could hardly have missed seeing me
there" she replied, sweetly,
"And | suppose you know he went on, with
insinuating emphasis, "that when you left six

Certainly Bertha was not surprised; 1t could
hardly be said she was interested
but the detective was suiT Used, and it net

and more logged. lie was not the man to be
played with by a woman.
Now, look here, madam"-he fairly bit the
words off as he emphasized each one with de
termined nod of his dark, sinister face-"dont
try any Of that on me- I'm too old bird at the
game. just save some of your smartness for
someone else" he added in sudden loss Of self
control.
The effect was electrical Bertha rose to her
feet like queen rising to the homage of her
subjects. Her whole being quivered and seemed
to expand in the intensity of her indignation
"S-i-r" she hissed.
But the detective interrupted. He had regain
ed some of his adroitness, his self poise.
"Now-don ou-get-ex-cit-ed," he au-

took those six diamonds and left the glass ones

''S-i-r" she again reiterated. Further utter
ance seemed to choke in her throat But an
angry snap of her foot on the floor gave vent to
little more of her pent-up emotion She was
beside herself with rage.
And as / was about to add" continued the
detective, with change to smiling bandness
that was almost sinister in it's suddenness, "just
you give me half of those diamonds and nothing
more will be said about it. Old Frenzer hasn't
got scent of his loss yet"
Bertha saw the game before her was halfway
Through. 1t gave her sudden buoyancy of spir-
its. She had reason now to fear immediate
discovery by the police, and certainly she did
not fear this impostor. But the revelation had
come too sudden for change of role on her
part. So she retained the old. Her eyes flashed; ;
her breath came quicker; she leaned towards him
with some of the treacherous, stealth-like ap
proach of a creeping panther. She was CON

SINGULAR Criminal Law

A few days ago the murderer of Mr.. Reid, the
Paisley man who mysteriousy disappeared from
Heidelberg last July, having been arrested in
Austria, was tried at Feldkirch, and was convict
ed and sentenced to twenty years imprisonment.
The case illustrates snguarity of the Austrian
criminal law Generally speaking, premediated
murder is punishable by death in Austria but in
cases where between the time of the murder and
the arrest the prisoner has been punished for
some other crime sentence OF capital punishment
cannot be passed upon him. In this case the
murderer had served weeks imprisonment for
petty theft about January of this year, and to this
circumstance alone he is indebted for his life.

He helped her off with her wrap, handed her

heartily at some sally of wit on her part, and
capped it with story of his own:

The complaint of the Indians is on the score
that their lands have been encroached upon by
the whites and that they are unable to obtain
any redress for the property thus taken away
from them.
Some years ago the Indians were induced to
surrender lands upon which they had lived for
years with the promise that they should be Civ

were surrendered and they were given rocks
