matter secret, was not prepared to
take Mrs. Weber into his confidence;
at least not yet.
He figured that the fewer persons
there were in the world who reeog-
nized in his recovered daughter the
Jennie Cowles of st. Lukes ASYLUM
and State Reform School. the Ioss

should be claimed as their china
Unless Mrs. Weber's further testi-
mony in the matter were required
for Identification. she need know
nothing more of the matter, for she
need never see Jennie after her re-
lease from the Reform School. which
detail Mr.. Methyen would manage to
keep quiet.
He had planned it all out: what he
should do in case there was reason
able proof that Jennie was his daugh-
ter. Indeed he was not depending
upon reasonable proof of her identity
as such. What was required to make
him change his plans now. was
absolute proof that the girl bore no
such relationship to him. Better
make a mistake and adopt as his
enid one who had not shadow of
a claim upon him. then to run the
risk Of keeping longer out Of her
olrthrlght, home and the protection
OF father and mother, his own flesh
and blood
Mr.. Methven was not irving To
evade any responsibility that rightly
belonged to him. But he could not
help wishing he might learn that the
disgraced Jennie Cowles was no child
of his. Yet all the time his fathers
hear yearned for the daughter he had
lost. If he could find her unsullied
in mind and in heart or even suscep-
tible TO good influenced And this
last he feared Jennie was not.
His plan was. in case he should
claim Jennie, to take his family
abroad again; this time for several
years. In the meantime, the old
Jennie Cowles would be forgotten.
People would have learned of his re-
covery OF his first-born, and on her
return from Europe would be pre-
pared to receive her. And he could
only pray that association with Doris
together with the gentle guidance oil
Mrs. Methven, might make a changed
girl of Jennie. But in his prayer
there was very little hope. A CIR
who had shown the spirit that Jennie
had. in her treatment of Marine
Dougherty, had, he reflected, very
little good in her as a basis for i'm
provement.
AS for Marine, she must not know.
Next to his wife and Doris, Mr.. Meth
ven dreaded discovery of Jennie's
identity by Marine. AS Doris. how
ever, had known Jennie at the asy
lum, she must be told the Who'll
story. This was inevitable; blu
there was no necessity Of tellin
; Marine. He would feel disgraced in
deed to have that pure child suspec
the truth. And years later, when b.
brought Jennie home from abroad
If he ever did, she would have out
grown Marines memory.

eyes seemed greater than before. Mar
ME thought.
How is Mrs. Methven?" she asked
timidly, following him down the hall.
The man turned as she spoke and
taking both her hands in his, he said
kindly:
My dear, Mrs. Methven is very
well-unusually so for her. And
Doris. too. She was talking only
this morning of coming over to see
you"
Marine thought Mr.. Methven's lips
trembled a little as he spoke, and
before she could respond he turned
abruptly and left her.
Something is surely wrong,
thought she. Il wonder whether 1t is
business that troubles him. l sup
pose a man with as much money as
he has, must have lot to worry
about. ching rich isn't all fun.
And Marine went back to her
books.
Mr.. Methven's interview had been
far from satisfactory. 1t served II
anything to strengthen his belief
that Jennie Cowles was his lost
daughter Although the matron was
unable to tell him much about the
girl before she had been brought to
the institution, such record as had
been kept was placed at his disposal.
1t was during Mrs. Dougherty's
term as matron Of st. Luke's that
Jennie was admitted, so Mrs. Weber
knew nothing Of her past history
other than was furnished in the
meagre information set down at the
/ time of her admission. Certain cir
cumstances as to dates and other
condolences, caused Mr.. Methven to
recall a clew which had been regard
ed as important in the search for
his child, but which when partially
run down had ended abruptly in
darkness. He wondered whether ii
might have been different had st
Lukes asylum been visited at the
time. AS things stood now, every
thing was in hopeless tangle, as tn,
only two persons who had ever had
anything to do with Jennie outside
the asylum since she had been PLACED
there, namely, Mother Lundie and the
dark woman" whom Jennie had rep.
resented in the stolen money episod,
as Mother Lundie's daughter and who
Mr.. Methven now concluded to have
been the mysterious unnamed accom-
plice, were dead.
It was evident to Mr.. Methven thai
Mrs. Dougherty, the former matror
OF the asylum, must be sought out
But even If found, the chances wer
that she could throw very little
any light on the matter.
Mrs. Methven wondered what MI

Being director of ST. Luke's, am
sufficiently familiar with the hap
penings Of that institution to konw
to whom Maggie Lundie referred as
my daughter. although she did not
recall the name under which the
child had been sent there.
For the secrecy which I have
asked you to maintain, there are two
very urgent reasons. You can read

might materially impede the process
of investigation. If it is known
that it is believed this girl is my
daughter. before the fact is fully es-
tablished. opportunity viii be offered
for all sorts of false evidence. which
may so obscure the truth as to make
Identification impossible.
my other reason - in reality it
is first in my heart - is the condi-
tion of my wife Ever since the loss
of our little Margaret, Mrs. Meth
ven has been a nervous wreck. She
had been out to make some calls
when the kidnapping occurred, and
when she returned and learned what
had taken place she was half-crazed
with grief. She placed no blame
where whatever blame there was,
certainly belonged - upon the nurse,
who was herself heart-broken over
the calamity, but declared the loss of
the child was a punishment visited
upon her for risking Margaret in the
care of hired help.
After our other daughter, Doris,
was born, Mrs. Methven refused to
the occasion of this illness, for the
first time since she was born. But
allow any one near the child, but
herself and me. She continued in
this practice for several years, and
then fell desperately i'll, the child
being separated from her mother on
since her recovery, my wife has been
more reasonable in her attitude
| toward Doris, and while she idolizes
the child, she has allowed her the
same freedom the majority of moth
ers do their children.
However, she unfortunately be-
lieves that all her friends, in their
hearts, condemn her as seriously as
she does herself, for the loss of our
first-born. If this girl is proved tC

Methven learn the circumstances
under which she was found, / can
not conceive of the consequences tC

Therefore there is grave neces

championship series standing to l in
Chicago's favor the possibility that the
magic pennant may hutter over Detroit
next season has become more remote
Yesterday being Chicago Day, the
leaders of the National league cele-

decisive, and when the commotion had
subsidized the tail of the dreaded man
eater was limp and dropping.
Once more the hosts of fandom swept
down upon the West Side ball park and

to be just as numerous as those of the
day before.

With one game to the good the Chi
cago fans now see the whole series
ahead of them, and all the Cubs win
have to do is to reach out and get it.
But the reaching will be the problem
and some of us think that it will be
beyond their reach. They certainly
came to the front yesterday in fine
style worked we'll at the bat and bet
ter on the bases. Their battery work
was good despite the fact that the
Tigers got 10 hits and their fielding
was o. K That should be taken into
consideration and all in all they de-
serve the magnificent victory. The
Tigers played a good game but not with
the dash and go that has characterize ed
their playing in the American league.
Some of the heavy hitters have been
troubled with stage fright, but with
one battle against them they ought to be
out and on the go today for all that
is in them. The infield showed that
they are just as fast as the Cubs on
the whole. and the way they handled
the chances made the crowd stand on
their toes. O'Leary was the grand
fielder of the day and took everything
that came within a rod or two Of him.
Here is a prediction that Ham

Cubs will win the first, second, fourth
and sixth game while the Tigers will

FOR INTELLECT ENT PATRIOTISM.

They are beginning to think in Eng land that some of the Englishmen don't know enough about the extent and magnifcence of the Empire to be truly and intelligently patriotic. So they are going to have Empire edu- cation" A great public meeting has just been held in London at which the need for such education was revealed
 It was told that some of the school children didn't even know in what hemisphere the great British colonies are. Out of six boys chosen from two hundred applicants for a position as office boy for a merchant and ship owner, all of them with slxth-grade certificates, none could point out on the map Melbourne, Cape Town or Ad- elaide, not to speak of New York or Hong Kong. One boy who was asked to point out Gibraltar said he had not lCdI bCu <aSAcb llliS hNl llls IOAlA6 bOyo said that they had no geography in their schools. Few, if any, had any, knowledge of the British empire. On motion of the Duke of Somerset a res olution was adopted declaring 1t to be the opinion of the citizens of London | "that the education of the people of Great Britain on the subject of the em- pire is deplorably backward, and that as an illustration of this fact it may
 be pointed out that no official map or textbook in regard to the empire is
 available for teachers and the public" 7"
 It was further resolved that the
 teaching of empire subjects with the
 aid of official maps and textbooks
 should be made obligatory in all ele-
 mentary and secondary schools in
 Great Britain" Dr. Parkin, secretary
 of the Rhodes trustees, told the meet

Has the tide of opposition to the re- form measures so ardently advocated by Governor Woodruff turned? The inquiry is provoked by the report of the judiciary committee on the pro- posed passage of the bill to establish a right of trial by jury in accident cases, which is favorable.
 If the governors day has come, 1t has come in first rate shape, for noth- ing has been more Irritating to the peo- pie of Connecticut than the fact that, in accident cases, the defendant has enjoyed the right to admit his guilt and then to have a hearing in court on damages. The state constitution de- clares the right of trial by jury in- violate, but years ago this assurance was suspended by the courts, under what is known as "the Connecticut practice" Fever since then attempts have been made to revive 1t, but with out avail. The corporations have been powerful enough in the halls of legis- lation to kill it off, upon the plea that more substantial justice has been done under the substituted system of juris- prudence.
 If we are not mistaken there isf but one other state in the union which for bids in practice the right of trial by jury in such cases, which is comment enough on its justice The fear that what is called the popular attitude of hostility towards public service cor porations will operate against justice being done them under the enforcement of the proposed law is badly conceived. There is no inherent hostility to cor porations. Where unpopularity exists the reason is to be sought elsewhere than in the popular judgment. A trial by jury is right, which is reason enough for offering 1t. Score one for Governor Woodruff.

Dr. rAHKnUBs1,s COMPROMISE.

Great, good and rich men continue to talk against money. They don't all de- splse it as MT. Carnegie seems to, but they do look down on 1t from lofty height, and they seem anxious to save us all from it's cankering curse. Dr. Parkhurst is the latest to declaim against it, but he isn't quite as declam- atory as some of the others, and he is willing to compromise in this way: May you all be rich as Croesus if you can keep the metal out of your heart, "
 If 1t were as easy to keep money out of the heart as it is to keep it out of the, pocketbook all would be well, or, at least. better. As 1t is, few will be as rich as Dr. Parkhurst would like to have them be in the way he would like to have them be. The heart is where the treasure is, and people do need and like money.

tunately for the country, and for the states of the union, the seekers for money as class have not been seek CTS for political office, and when, as has happened In many cases, men who have made the making of money the end and be-all of their lives have under taken to enjoy public station, they have almost invariably, where the people have had the say, been deprived of that comfort Riches count in the public life of the country only where the method of filling the offices is unelec- tive.
 The other point which Controller Metz emphasizes in his remarkable in- terview is the fact that in spite of his experience in public life, which has led him to such pessimistic conclusions, the country has prospered very well with these underpaid men who have been willing to work for the honor of it. It has not been smooth sailing all the time, but the weather on the whole has been good enough to justify the hope and prediction that the future is full of promise. Controller Metz was
 made for private, not for public life. That he has proved.
