CHAPTER XIX.
A Triple Alliance.

Larry refused to share my quarters
and chose a room for himself which
Bates fitted up out of the house stores.
| did not know what Bates might sur
mise about Larry, but he accepted my
friend in good part, as a guest who
would remain indefinitely. He seemed
to interest Larry. whose eyes followed
the man inquiringly.
When we went down Bates was limp
ing about the library, endeavoring to
restore order.
Bates" l said to HIM, you are a
very curious person. l have had a
thousand and one opinions about you
since l came here, and still l don't
make you out"
He turned from the shelves. a de-
faced volume in his hands.
Yes. sir 1t was a good deal that
way with your lamented grandfather.
He always said l puzzled him"
Larry, safe behind the fellows back.
made no attempt to conceal n smile.
Il want to thank you for your heroic
efforts to protect the house last night.
You acted nobly, and | must confess,
Bates. that didn't think il was in you.
I'm only sorry that there are black
pages in your record that l can't recon
cile with your manly conduct of last
night. But we've got to come to an
understanding"
YES, sir"
The most outrageous attacks have
been made on me since 1 came here.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1907-07-18

You know what I near well enough.
Mr.. Clenarm never intended that
should sit down in his house and be
killed or robbed. He was the gentlest
being that ever lived. and I'm going to
fight for his memory and to protect HIS
property from the scoundrels who have
plotted against me. l hope you follow
me-"
Yes, Mr.. Glenarm." He was re-
garding me attentively. His lips Guav-
cred. perhaps from weakness, and he
seemed distressed and i'll.
Now l offer you your choice
either to stand Loyalty by me and my
grandfather's house or to join these
scoundrels Arthur Pickering has hired
to drive me out. I'm not going to bride
you'll don't offer you a cent for your
help. but won't have a traitor in the
house, and If you don't like me or my
terms / want you to go and go now"
He Strengthened quickly,-his eyes
lighted and the color crept into his
face. | had never before seen him APP
pear so like a human being.
"Mr. Glenarm. you have been hard
on me; there have been times when
you have been most unjust"
Unjust, unfair-my God, what do
you expect me to take from youl
Haven't known that you were in
league with Pickering? Pm not as
dull as look, and after your interview
with Pickering IN the chapel porch you

Il suppose. sir" he began brokenly
that | can hardly persuade you that

you certainly can not,--and it's
safer for you not to try. But I'm will
ing to let all that go as a reward for
your work last night. Make your
choice now; stay here and stop your
spying or clear out within an hour"
He took a step toward me; the table
was between us and he drew quite
near but stood clear of it, erect until
there was something soldierly and
commanding in his tall figure.

FAMILY IN HARD LUCK.
A Family of Seven Finds Itself in
Deep Distress.

Two little children are at the Gravs
Harbor hospital with typhoid fever. and
the mother is sick at home with three
other babies. These facts became known
through Street Commissioner Hits, who
was at the hospital, and he investigated
the matter, finding the family of man,
wife and five childred in rather bad
way.
The family, whose name and residence
is not printed for obvious reasons, are
recent arrivals in Aberdeen. The hus.
band is a hard working man, but, his
means, limited when he arrived here,
have been so curtailed by the illness OF
the family as to leave them almost desti.
tute.
The Bijou theater will give the pro.
ceeds OF the house tomorrow night to the
family, and Mr.. Hits has enlisted the
sympathy of some ladies', which will
help to relieve the immediate distress OF
the family.

END or YOUNG LIFE,

The funeral of the late Miss Jennie
Sargent will be held at the residence OF

one IN accordance with the wish of the
deceased, consisting OF solo by o. C.

Chorus, of the Congregational church,
and prayer and short eulogy by Mr..
McDermoth.
Miss Sargent was born October 3, 1895,
at Panora, Iowa, and came to this coun.
tv with her parents, nineteen years ago,
most OF that time being spent in Aber.
deem. Her education wac received in the
! Aberdeen schools, all but one year which
was spent in business college. About
eighteen months ago she was taken sick
with pleufisy, which developed into an
abscess in the side, the trouble being
mistaken for consumption for some time.
In their efforts to save her life, her
parents took her to California and Ari-
zona, and in Arizona it was learned that
she did not have the dread disease, but
her condition was owing to the abscess.
Returning home, an outdoor life was
tried. but without favorable results, and
two weeks ago she was taken to Portland
where the abscess was removed, but be-
cause OF her weakened condition she
could not long survive the shock of the
operation and passed away at 12 80 mid
night, last Saturday.
The disposition of deceased was shown

Law and MORALITY THE CITY Fathers
TOO DRASTIC LAWS ENCOURAGE
The big MITT."
Sunday Law of Washington Has Out
lived Its Usefulness, and Became
Club in the Hands of GraftcrS,
and Should be rfOdified TO Suit
Present Conditions.

The strict enforcement of the Sunday
law, inaugurated by City Attorney Camp.
bell, OF Hoquiam, and County Attorney
Boner, has caused more people to sit up
and take notice than the saloon keepers
for whose benefit it was undoubtedly
intended--and, if carried on, will accom-
plish the intention of Attorney Campbell,
by causing modification OF the law.
This law was enacted in 1881, for the
then sparsey settled territory of Wash
ington, in response to ultra Sa Saobatarians,
and has ever since been a dead letter on
the statute books. With the best kind
of intentions, those good people over.
looked the fact that. under our system OF
government, no law can be enforced un-
less public opinion-that court OF tinality
in all epublics-sustaned it. That
this is true, is shown by the vast number
of state laws and city ordinances that
are daily ignored. This law was enacted
at the urgent request of class OF we'll
meaning people, such as has existed ever
since the days OF Cromwell in England,
and has proved veritable bonanza in
the hands of corrupt law officers ever
since.
Ignored generally, it has been valu-
able adjunct to the man out with the
"big mitt." who was assured Of the sup
port OF the good people whom he could
deude under the guise OF "morality."
1t seems strange that no legislature in all
those years has enacted law that would
distinguish the difference between pub
lie necessity and public annoyance,
and provide for the closing of saloons
where desired-and yet permit women
and children to enjoy an ice cream soda
on hot sunday at summer resort.
That the state of Washington has
emerged from the conditions prevailing
in frontier days is apparent to all, and a
demand is made by vast majority for
better observance, in public at least, OF
the conventionalities. Still, it is ques-
ton whether this desirable end will be
hastened by the enforcement of a mori-
bund statute, for the non-enforcement Of
which nearly every public officer in the
state has been guilty OF malleasance in
office for twenty-slx years.
Where many good people make mis-
take-in an effort to create morality by
.aw-they forget to reckon with humau
nature, and ,helr immediate surround
ings, and this Old law is a fine ilustra.
tion oi the fact.
In the hands of grating official, this
law is valuable asset. He can enforce
it or not a. he pleases. Niolators OF the
law have 40 remedy when he calls upon
Shem to Cough up" They simply pay,
in the full know ledge that the corrupt
official can start crusade on their busi-
ness and enlist hundreds of good people
in his aid who will imagine, in their
simplicity, they are working for God and
morality, while in reality they are but
assistants to the grafter-without pay.

lacking in interest and excitement. 1t
was tame affair compared with those
glorious battles with the Siwashes last
week. Seattle won yesterday and, as a
result. the Tigers and Siwashes are again
fighting for second place.
Mr.. Higgin botham. the thirteen.inch
gun OF the Aberdeen twrling staff, did
the firing for the Black Cats, and he
showed he deserved the title of "best
pitcher in the league" Against the
elongated pitcher with the two.minute
windup and the confident smile the Ii.
gers didn't have the ghost of chance.
Opposed to Manager Browns star
pitcher was Ike Butler, the peer of the
Tigers tyirlers. But Butler was clearly
in the shadow of his formidable rival.
He WAS pounced on by the Black Cats
nine different times and succeeded in
batting just one of them on his offerings.
"Old HOSE Ike was steady enough, but
he was not effective.
Though the Tigers were outplayed in
every department of the game the errors
of the infeld helped the Black Cats to
walk away with the game. Not one of
Aberdeen's scores was earned, boobies
contributing to each one.

on balls, stole second and went to third
when Spencer allowed one of Higgie's
shoots to 20 through his legs. This un-
nerved Eigginbotham for time, and he
passed Kellackey to first. In attempt
ing to steal to second, Kellackey was
caught. But then Clynes ripped out a
pretty three-bagger to right field and
Lynch scored. There was only one out
and a man on third base. Shea was
given the signal to bunt for the squeeze
play, but failed to perform his part OF the
obligation. Accordingly, Clynes, who
had taken a big lead for home, was
caught between the bases, Shea then
struck out. For all the rest OF the game
the Tigers didn't get man to second
base.
In the third, the Black Cats tied the
score and went one ahead without stop
ping. On Buffers error Spencer got to
first after one was out and completed the
circuit when Higginbotham singled to
right ana Collins let the ball roll through
his legs to the fence. A single by Strieb
scored l1igginbotham, who was on third.
In the eighth, Van Buren, opened by
batting out bunt to Shaw. Shaw's
error let him reach third, and he scored
a murent later on Householder's drive
to right field.
