WHERE LIES YOUR HEART

DABBI KRAUSKOPF of Philadel-
h, phia has begun a campaign in New
AZ York for the amelioration of the
condition of the denzens of what are
known in the metropolis as the 'slum'
districts. Fortunately for Los Angeles
the term "slum" is known here by
hearsay only. With the phenomenal
development of the city during the past
few years the culture of the slum pest
for the efforts of such men as Dana
Bartlett and such an institution as that
of which he is the head. But when the
germ of slum life sprouted the human
izing instincts of this nobe, self-sacrific-
ing man interposed and the Bethlehem
institutions of today arose as sue
cessful counter to the degrading in
fluence of the slum evil.
Why is it that the many people of
Los Angeles who protest most loudly
their hearty desire to promote all we'll
considered humanitarian projects have
not more freely rendered more material
aid to Mr.. Bartlett? Some have done
much, but the many have done rela-
lively little. Here is man who is
sacrificing everything which most men
hold dear, even jeopardizing the place
where he lays his head, that the God
inspired Bethlehem institutions may ac-
complish to the fullest extent that at
which their founder aims. If any man
or woman, at any period in the history
of Los Angeles, has needed or deserved
warm-hearted support, moral and ma
and deserves all the support that may
be offered him. Read 1.-THE Better
City" and your doubts if you have any,
will be set at rest.

PEEK INTO THE FENCE

III T not infrequently happens that ar
individual or combination of in
dividuals, acting strictly in accord
ance with the provisions of a law, is
able so to manipulate a business dea
with a state, a county or a municipal
corpora tion-even with the great federal
government itself-as to be able to dis
pose, to the party of the second part"
at an exorbitant figure, of something
which, under a fair and reasonable
assessment, would be accredited with a
valuation far below the amount de-
manded and secured.
1t likewise not infrequently transpires
that law is found to be so loosely
framed as to permit of the consumma-
tion ideals of this sort in spite Of the
most earnest efforts on the part of the
party which, before the completion of
the transaction, awakens to the fact
that he is about to be badly "bitten.''
Those who read The Heralds history
OF the astounding series OF transactions
perate effort has been made to foist
upon the city Of Pasadena the water
works system now supplying its inhabi-
tants, or that part of the system which
may be legally sold, must inevitably
arrive at the conclusion that the city
escape from a decidedly unpleasant
contretemps. The story, which began
in Tuesdays issue of The Herald,
graphically describes the amazing un-
dertaking which, If consummated,
would have left the city and the entire
waterworks outfit in most unpleasant
tangle.
1t is evident that the fence which
separates the city and the water sys-
tenn harbors q colored gentleman of
large physique and ogerish counte-
nance. But so carefully have the rails
been laid that 1t Is the source of small
wonder that not until recently have
the people of Pasadena been able to dis
cover the menacing figure that has
stood prepared to pounce upon them.
Former Mayor Waterhouse is the big
gest stumbling block in the path of the
promoters of this ethical if not legal
injustice to the taxpayers. When it be-
comes more generally understood that,
through the long and devious proceed
ings now being related in detail in the
news column of The Herald, the prop
erty owners and water consumers OF
Pasadena have been upon the verge of
buying that for which their money
already has paid, the death knell to the
existing plan for municipal purchase
will have been sounded.

HOW TO DO IT

A SAN FRANCISCO paper has
N learned from oregon, via the
IA grapevine route, that Francis j.
Heney is after a seat in the United
States senate. Since Heney began his
campaign against the San Francisco
grafters he has been latter" every high
Office within the gift of the people, ac-
cording to the tainted news service
Now they have let him down from the
presidency to a position on the execu-

The chances are that the objects of
Heney's "vindictive" pursuit in San
Francisco would willingly make UP a
pool of a million or so to put him in
the senate. provided he could be boosted
in at once. They might induce Gov

While the financial condition in New

sibly discourage some of the people of
that section from travelling extensively
this winter, yet Southern California has
never depended upon the extreme east
for many of it's tourists. On the con-
trary, the city of Chicago alone has
usually sent to Southern California
more tourists each winter than all Of
the eastern cities combined, and with
the prosperous conditions of the middle
west and south there should not only
be no diminution of the tourists who
visit this country during the coming
winter, but the number should be
largely increased.

Soon after his arrival in Paris he be-
came deeply enamored of the beautiful
Mademoiselle de Scissors, one of the la
dies in waiting at court. OF a noble but
impoverished family, this post had been
bestowed upon her at the death of her
father.
Hurried out of all prudence by the
violence Of his love, he proposed a private
marriage, to which, after great solicita-
ton, she yielded. The event was kept
profound secret from ALL After a time
she retired from the court, and resided
IN small house near Versailles, whittier
her husband used to repair as frequently
as ne was able to enjoy her society.
lears passed away, and but few knew
their secret. Two children were born to
them, and still there appeared to be no
dlminution In their love.
AT length came the Restoration. Sir
Arthur accompanied his sovereign to Eng
land, leaving his wife, however, at their
old home until such times as Penrhyddyn
Castle could be rendered fit for her re-
ception. But that he might still be able
to have before him the image of his be-
loved wife, he took away with him a
portrait of her that had been painted a
few months after their union.
Several months passed away, and al
though he wrote to her long and frequent
letters, full of love and anticipation, she
yet remained in France. After time he
came over to visit her-loving tender as
ever, but still he made good excuses to
delay her departure for England.
He returned home, but she was again
left behind-only for a few weeks longer,
he said. But the weeks passed into
months, and yet she was not sent for,
and, worse still, his letters grew brief,
cold and infrequent.

Of her servants, without one line of warn.

his custom at such time, to AFFORD what
succor lay in his power to the poor un-
fortunates who could be saved.
While he stood upon the rocks giving
directions to the men, the body of a wom-
an was borne upon a wave, and cast at
his feet. The torch he held In his hand
glowed redly upon the pallid, upturned
face, and showed him the features Of
Eleonore de Scissors.
By his orders they carried her to
fisherman's hut close by. Hot blankets
and friction called back the feeting
breath. She opened her eyes and beheld
her husband bending over her. She rec
ognized him, and an evil fire lighted up
for a moment the dulled eyes. He re-
quested to be left alone with her, and
then he fell down upon his knees beside
the bed and prayed to her for forgive
ness of the wrongs he had inflicted.
81 have no right to pardon !" she cried,
in her hollow, dying accents. mine is
but portion of the wrong. What right
have l to pardon the destruction of my
two children? Mark me, Arthur Penr-
hyddyn !" and she rose up upon her arm,
and her black sunken eyes blazed like
Goals of fire out of her pallid cheeks, my
curse will cling to you and yours for
ever, until it crumbles your race into the
dust and should my blood and thine ever
mingle hereafter, that union shall be the
destruction of thy house! My vengeance
may be long delayed, but it will come
1t will come! J!
With those last words she sank back
and expired.
Nought of these events were ever known
to the new-made bride-a lovely woman,
of noble and wealthy family, whom Sir
Arthur had married to mend his broken
fortunes. But peace departed forever
out of the soul of Arthur Penrhyddyn,

ing to her husband, she set out for Eng
land. Alone and unprotected, she accom-
plished the whole of the then formidable
journey from Versailles to Cornwall.
1t was night when, worn out with ia
tigue, she presented herself at the gate Of
Penrhyddyn Castle. Some grand festiv-
ity was evidently going on, for lights
shone from every window, sounds of mu-
sic and of many voices came from with
in the door of the grand entrance stood
wide open, and people and servants were
hurrying hither and thither, so that for
time she could get no reply to her in
quiries for Sir Arthur Penrhyddyn.
you can't see him tonight, madam"
said one of the servants. respectfully for,
spite of her travel-stained garments and
faded looks, there was that in her man
ner which compelled respect.
"And why?" she asked haughtily. 1t
was on her tongue to declare herself to
the man, but some feeling checked the
words.
Because it Is his wedding day. You
must have come from long way off not
to have heard of my masters wedding
with the great heiress of Tregarthen."
She did not gasp, nor faint, nor cry
out; it seemed to come upon her like the
confirmation of long, underlined dread.
For a moment she did not answer, and
the man hurried away; but the newt in
stant she tore a bracelet off her arm
one which her husband had given her
dpon her wedding day-and stopping an
other hurrying servitor imperiously bade
him to take it to his master and tell him
that the owner waited for him in the hall.
|, Her messenger quickly returned, with
an amazed look upon his face. He con-
Quoted her up the long winding staircase
of the western turret, into the very room
where another Arthur Penrhyddyn was
now listening to her story.
Thither soon afterwards came her hus-
band. There was stormy scene. He
boldly avowed his right to marry, on the
grounds that his marriage with Eleonore
de Scissors, having been celebrated in a
foreign country by Catholic priest,
could not be held as legal contract in
England.
The wronged woman could hate as pas
sionately as she could love, and this cruel
blow stung her to madness; falling upon
her knees, she sent up to heaven, out of
the agony of her breaking heart, an awful
curse upon him and his race forever
then springing to her feet, ran wildly
down the stairs, and so out of the castle.
But the strangest part of the story Is
yet to be told. About a week after these
events, ship conveying passengers to
a port in Brittany was wrecked upon the
coast opposite the castle. As soon as the
tidings were brought to him, the master
Of Penrhyddyn. with a body Of his do
mestics, went down to the shore, a. wNs
