the outskirts of the village last night.
Each is Il and each attends the

charming, has taught for the past year.
She has smiled on Willard for several
months and he was madly in love. He
was therefore distracted when village

that Daley was boasting of the success
attending his courtship of the pretty

first shots had gone wide, and as she
came into the open their pistols were
poised. She begged for opportunity to
be heard before they persisted in the
fight.
The eloquence of her plea is best
attested by the fact that the pistols

back to the village. She wheedled them
into taking coy chairs in her parlor,
and with tact and vivacity which
charmed away their rancor she soon
had them passing occasional words.

FAST SET HAS NO MORALS
About Social Group Which Dissraces
Nearly Every City on the Great
Worlds Map.

Every large city has its fast set OF
men and women The New York fast
set may be a little more brilliant than
any other in this country, but in every
other respect than money and equip
age the fast set is the same in every
! great city.
The fast set consists of number
of men and women who turn night into
! day and who love darkness rather
than light because their deeds are
evil. They are people who eat mid
night luncheons with wine accompani
ments, who hang around the stage
doors of theaters, who rise at II
O'Clock in the morning, with whom
| pleasure is a business and who throw
away money in the hope OF attaining
| it.
1t is impossible to speak of the
| morals of the fast set, because it has
none. 1t is licentious, beastly. imbe-
! Gle, dishonest, mendaciOus, jealous,
quarrelsome. revengeful, semi-insane
and homicidal. 1t gets drunk and
fourishes pistols and daggers. 1t
| breaks every law on the statute books
and violates every known code of NOR
ais There is only one word which
taken alone is descriptive of it and
that is the word rotten"
| AS a general think the lid of the fast
set is fastened on tight and the eff
fuvia does not escape Men who are
| we'll connected in society are STEPPED
in this devils stew without being sus-
pected. This lasts for some time, and
then suddenly some crime is committed
in the set which rips the lid off and
the whole community is nearly as
phyxiated with the nauseous stencil.
The remarkable thing about it is that
as soon as a great scandal breaks
out in the fast set it becomes neces-
sary that its members shall go into
court and be tried for their lives or
take the witness stand and expose its
doings they appeal at once to all the
lofty standards which they have, as a
set derided and spurned.
In the day of trouble there is no
thing they mink so much OF as mod
esty. People who have lived the lives
of pigs for years wish it to be under
stood that their modesty is crucified
when they are called upon to describe
their orgies. Truth and honor also
are then extolled to the skies. Graft
| tude. fidelity and love are claimed by
lot OF human beasts who have for
years lived for nothing but the gratlfi-
| cation OF their lowest passions. Then
| they appeal to justice and to the ma
iesty of the law and the dignity OF the
courts after exhausting all their Ell
! forts to overthrow law and justice
and abonsn human society.
| 1t is a thousand piies that society
| should be compelled for its own pro
| lection to investigate and compose the
ouarrels and CRIMES of the fast set.
But for the necessity there is of sup
pressing crime it would be far better
to build a barbed wire fence around
the fast set. provide it with all sorts
of modern weapons and cordially in
vite it's members to exJerminate each
