The women arrived, coarse but kind
lv hearted creatures. One of them
gave the boy packet of letters.
II found 'em under the dear lydy's
pillow" she said. Neither poverty nor
death robbed Mrs. Arson of the re-
spect paid to her by all who came in
contact with her.
He sat down. united q string which
bound the letters together and looked
at the address on the first envelope. 1t
bore his mothers name and n recent
postmark. Wondering dolefully what
correspondence she could have had
during these later months that de-
handed such careful preservation, he
took out the letter. Suddenly he hest
tated. Perhaps these documents al
luded to something which his mother
did not wish him to know. For an in
slant his impulse was to consign the
packet to the fire. No; that might be
wrong. He would glance at their gen.
eral purport and then commit them to
the flames If he thought fit
The letter in his hand was headed,
"'The Hall, Beltham, Devon" and dated
about a month earlier. 1t read:
Dear Madam-I am requested by Sir
Philip Morland to ask you not to trouble
him with further correspondence. This
is the fourth time have been desired
by him to write in these terms please
note that your letters will in future re-
main unanswered Yours truly.
LOUISA MoRLAND.
The curt incivility Of the note
broreht an angry flush to the boys
face. Who was Sir Philip Morland
that he should dare to offer this Insult
to lady: Evidently a relative, and
near one, sor Morland was his moth
ers name and his own Christian name
suggested family connection. Yet she
had never spoken Of any such person.
Three other letters of preceding dates
showed that Louisa Morland" kept ac-
curate reckoning. There were half a
dozen more, from a firm of solicitors.
Some Of these were merely formal ac-
Acknowledgements of letters received and
forwarded, but one stated that they
"were instructed by Lady Morland to
inform Mrs. Arson that Sir Philip Nor
land declined either to see or hear
from her"
That was all. Philip sprang up with
face afame. He was alone in the
house now, alone with his dead mother.
He went upstairs. with the letters
crushed in his right hand as though be

the only being he loved. He bent over

man, Phil. | know it. Who should
know your character like your mother?
But you must have faith in God al
ways. 1 have prayed for you, and my
prayers will surely be granted. l will
watch over you. If you are in danger
my spirit will come back to you across
the void. We cannot be parted. Oh,

still live"
Ever as she spoke her left hand and
arm, hitherto untouched by the cruel
blight which had made her a helpless
invalid during many weary months, be-
came numb and rigid. She was dying
now, not with the struggle against the
king of terrors which often marks the
passing of humanity, but with a slow
torpidity more akin to sleep.
Her brain was clear, but the stock of
nervous force had sunk so low that her
few remaining words We're spoken with
difficulty. They were mostly endearing
expressions, appeals to her loved one

in the all wise power that would direct
his destiny. With the last flicker of
existence the maternal instinct became
dominant again, and she asked him not
to forget her.
The boy could only murmur agoniZed
appeals to the merciless unseen not to
rob him of the only being he held dear
on earth, but even in that awful mo-
ment he had the strength to cease his
frantic protests when they seemed to
cause her pain, and he forced himself
to join her in prayer.
When the doctor brought a nurse
and some small store of the much
needed delicacies Mrs. Arson was al
ready unconscious.
The boy, aroused from frenzy by the
steps on the stairs, shrieked incohe-
rently:
Il have killed my mother. See! She
is dead. l killed her. l made her cry.
You told me to look after her until you
returned. She cried and screamed be-
cause spoke so wildly. 1t is all my
fault. r.
Hush! Your mother is not dead, but
uS ing. -Not all lne SIKH OF man can
save her. Let her die in peace"
No other words could have checked
the wild torrent of lament that surged
from that wounded heart. So she still
lived. There remained faint flicker
of life. Not yet had she passed the
/ dreadful barrier of eternity. Through
his binding tears he thought he could
{ discern q smile on the worn face. The
doctor watched Phil more narrowly
than the sunken frame on the bed. 1t
was best that the paroxysm of grief
should go untrammeled. The nurse, a
young woman unused as yet to the in
evitableness Of death. moved timidlv
toward the windows and adjusted the
curtains to admit more light.
At last when Phil's strength yielded
to the strain of his sorrow and the
very force of his agony had spent it

1T has ended, Phil" he whispered.
"Y0ur mother is in heavenr
In heaven. What a tocsin of woe in
message of faith! The boy suddenly
stood up. Hope was murdered within
him. His tears ceased, and his labored
breathing came under control with a
mighty effort. He stopped and kissed
the pale cheeks twice.
"Goodby, mother" he said, and the
dull pain in his voice was so heart
rending that the nurses sympathies
mastered her She burst out crying
Professional instinct came to the doc
tors aid. He sharply reprimanded the
half hysterical woman and sent her off
on an errand to bring those whose duty
1t is TO render the last services to frail
mortality. The boy he led downstairs.
He was a busy man, with many claims
on his time, but this strange youngster
interested him, and he resolved to turn
the boys thoughts fOrcibly away from
the all absorbing horror of his moth
er's death.
Have you a lumber or a cup?" he
said sharply.
Phil handed him a tumbler The
doctor poured out some wine taken
from the nurses basket, soaked piece
of bread in the liquor and gave it to
the boy with an imperative command
to eat it instantly.
Somewhat to his surprise. he was
obeyed. While Phil was devouring the
food of which he stood so greatly in
need the doctor reviewed the circum-
stances of this poverty stricken house
hold so far as they were known to him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arson had occupied A
fairly good position in Dieppe. where
Philips father was the agent of an old
esta blished London firm of coal ship
DeEs. About two years earlier both
rusbdn1 and VIE were seriously n
jured in a motor car accident Mr.. An
son sustained conclusion of the brain
and practically never regained his
senses, though he fingered for some
weeks and was subjected to two op-
erations. Mrs. Anson's spine was dam
, aged. with the result that she changed
from q bright and vigorous woman in
to a decrep.t invalid doomed to early
death from slow paralysis.
When the great expenses attendant
on these mishaps We're paid she found
herself not only absolutely poor, but
rendered incapable of the slightest eff
fort to turn her many and varied tai.
ents to account in order to earn a live
lihood. She came to London, where
her late husbands employers gener-
ously gave her rent free possession OF
the tenement in which she was lying
dead, helped her with funds to furnish
it modestly and found a clerkship for

company. Economies were erected to
make way for salaried directors. Phil
ip was dismissed, with several other
junior employees, and the stable yard
was marked out as a suitable site for
the storage of coal required by the
local factories.
This development took place early
In the new year, and the new company
allowed Mrs. Arson to occupy her tiny
abode until the last day of March. 1t
was now March 5, and how the widow
and her son had lived during the past
two months the doctor could only guess
from the gradual depletion of their lit
tie store Of furniture.
1t was odd that such an intelligent
and we'll bred woman should be so
completely shut off from the rest of
the world. and his first question to
Phil sought to determine this mystery.
Surely" he said, there is some one
to whom you can appeal for help. Your
father and mother must have had some
relatives, even distant cousins, and if
they are written to a friendly hand
may be forthcoming"
Philip shook his head. The mere
taste of food had provoked a ravenous
appetite. He could not eat fast enough.
The doctor stayed him.
Better wait a couple of hours, Phil,
and then you can tackle hearty meal.
That's the thing. l like to see such
prompt obedience, but you certainly
have wonderful self control for one so
young. l may tell you, to relieve pres

Funeral, The word struck with
sledge hammer force. Phil had not
thought of that. He remembered the
dismal pomp of such events in this
saualid locality. the loud sobbing of
women, the hard faced agony of men,
the frightened curiosity Of children.

has started a subscription list tc
realize funds to properly honor Mike

handled the team in the London sta,
hum.
James +, Sullivan, secretary OF Tic

credit 70 the athletics, who represent.
sd the United States in the recent

time and devoted his energies for the
athletes and how we'll he performed

LABOR LEGISLATION.

Various injunction bills were con-
sidered in the committee during both
sessions Of the Fifty Ninth and first
session of the Sixtieth Congresses
During the first session of the Fifty
ninth Congress several bills were be-
fore the judiciary committee and hear
ings were accorded and considered.
1t was found, however, that the labor
interests of the country could not
agree upon any one bill, and that diff
ferent labor leaders were opposed to
one or the other bills under consider
alton.
Again during the first session of the
Sixtieth Congress the judiciary COM
mittee of the House gave more time
and attention to the various bills pre-
sented, but it was found that no bill
could be introduced that would be
satisfactory to all the labor interests,
and no bill upon which all members
of Congress could agree. This So
called anti-injunction legislation is
by no means partisan matter, and
so far neither Democrats nor Repub-
licans have been able to agree among
themselves to bill that would seem
to satisfy all concerned. There is no
doubt, however, that in the near fu-
ture some bill will be enacted into
law, and when it is, it will be found
that it will provide protection for not
only labor and capital, but for the
public as we'll First, it must be con-
stitutional, and then it must be OF
such a nature that it will not lead to
disorder and riot, but will conserve
the best interests Of the people at
large, and not be drawn in the inter
est of either capital or labor, but for
the good and protection Of all
