This is a stirring story full Of the ele-
mcnts of a warm human interest. 1t
carries, too, Il practical lesson, and
should be among the most popular
books Of the season. Books on settle
ment work nave become exceedingly
common IN recent times. This book,
however is somewhat out of cOnven-

and amusing experiences.
When he fails in his efforts to uplift
and save souls he turns energetically
to the humane field to save lives max
ing an unappl eciated success out Of
what would otherwise have been
failure.
The woman in the story is purely
feminine. She lacked the one things she
deemed essential to happiness and cast
aside all she possessed and went forth
for what she desired. She welcomed the
complex as it resolved itself into the
simple until il ceased to be exalted and
grew colOrless and monotonous.
The minister's daughter inherits his
weakness along with his strength. In
time we find her in the slums Of great
city. with an exalted ideal. How she
finds her father and herself is most
dramatic.
The delicate situations are handled
with truthful simplicity. The love mo-
tVes touch the heights and depths Of
realism. while the philosophy shows
much thought has been devoted to the
serious questions of the day.

JUDGE FITZGERALD
HAS 4 BIG SCARE
Masked Negro Stands Over
Bed But Wants Doctor
Instead of Money.

The officers surmised that something
had happened when Judge Fitzgerald
began making cautious inquiries yes
terday morning about how large a
shooting iron a man could keep under
his pillow with safety. He finally adj
mitted that he had received the scare
of his life the night before, in fact ex-
perienced all Of the sensations OF an
actual bedroom hold-up without losing
anything except some courage. He had
retired and had been asleep short
while when he was suddenly awaken
ed by some one talking to him. The
Judge looked up cautiously and found
a large burly negro standing near the
head of the bed half leaning toward
him. over his face was tied a cloth
just below the eyes. The judge jerked
the covers over his head and reached
under his pillow for his forty-four TO
find that he had forgotten it for once
He showed his wallet down towards
the foot of the bed and hearing no
further move finally mustered UP cour-
age enough to ask between the up and
down movements of his jaws what was
wanted. The negro managed to humble
something about a doctor and being
hurt with a rush the oozing courage
of the judge returned and he sat up and
proceeded in choice American to tell
the visitor that If his gun had been in
its accustomed place the visitor would
have been looking for an undertaken
instead Of a doctor. An automatic lock
was put on the outside door yesterday
morning and a safe has been ordered.
