Hawkin alleges that he Was induced by
an agent of the mining company to come
to this country under false statements as
to the pay he would, receive and the char
acter of work he would be required to
perform.
Mr.. Sargent found that there had been
a prior investigation of the complaint by
Inspector Baldwin of the Department of
Commerce and Labor, but that no action
had yet been, taken by the department
Yesterday he sent HaYkin to the Depart
ment of Justice. and the Englishman
told his story to Judge Russell. He said
nineteen other English subjects, mainly
young farmers, had also been lured to
America by the mine agent. The others
mad come to this country at different
times and by different steamship lines. to
avoid suspicion. as he claims their coming
here was in Violation Of the alien contract

Department of Commerce and Labor and
the Department of Justice the name OF
the White Oak mine at Scarboro, Fay
cite county, w. Va, as the alleged Of
Tending company.
He also described the hardships he
was forced to endure. and gave an ac-
count of his thrilling escape from the

Imagination, OF course, plays large
part in the receptions of the nursery.
A child of four or five was giving an
account to her parents of the capture
of snake at the end of the garden
Like many grown-up raconteurs, she
posed as having been present, though
she had the story in reality from her
slightly elder brother, who had been
a delighted witness. Enlarging on
every detail, she was at last pulled up
by her father, who knew how much of
her evidence was circumstantial.
And what was the color of this
snake?" he asked. This was a poser,
Tom had omitted TO tell her the color,
But she was not going to be daunted
by minor detail of this sort 1T was
the same color as the snake that Tom
saw" she said.

The question has often been raised
whether the young man should study

more attentively than her other rela-

important to remark that nearly every

more distinctly than even his father
and mother. Resemblance or hered
ity goes transversely, sideways, not in
straight lines.
A study of the uncles and snnts OF
the girl is, to say the least, extreme
ly profitable, and may reveal traits
that are as yet latent and thus unob.
servable in the girl.
In addition to this the young man

came to the city. Through friends Mr.
Hummel was introduced to her and
her mother. Eventually he became the
acknowledged patron of the little girl
He obtained the best teachers for her,
arranged concerts at which she played
and secured her introductions into the
homes of the socially prominent in
New York and Newport What sue

owes largely to the kindly interest Of
Mr.. Hummel
And Miss Brown was grateful
She was not content to tell only Of
the many kindnesses he had done for
her and her mother. She did more.
The first day the convicted lawyer
sent word to the outside world from
his cell in prison that he would like
to see those of his old friends who
still cared to see him. Miss Brown was
one of the first to hurry to him with
flowers and fruit and some dainty
jelly that her mother had made with
her own hands. 1t was the sight of
his little friend that brought the first
smile to the face OF the little lawyer
that any one had seen after his con-
viction.

Cheered Her Benefactor.


Since then never week has passed
that Miss Brown has not been Wis
itor to the island In her arms she
has always carried flowers, fruit,
books--countless little offerings of de-
votion to make the days of her bene-
factor pass as quickly as possible.
Once in a while she would take her
violin and play over and over the ia
vorites of Mr.. Hummel. She was in
truth an angel of mercy, for while she
played for Mr.. Hummel the other men
in the prison hospital could hear and
see her, and her visits made them
happy.
But Miss Brown was not the only
friend of Mr.. Hummel during the days
of his disgrace.
One of the honor students of the
Long Island College hospital, in the
graduating class of 1907, was Philip
B. Matz, young Baltimore student.
His actual knowledge of medicine,
added to a genuine kindness for his
fellow beings, made him more than
successful in treating the cases the
older doctors allowed him to handle
during his senior year. 1t was with a
feeling that their pupil would acquit
himself creditably that the doctors Sc
cured him the assignment to Black
wells Island Immediately after his

and attention showered on her by the
artists, 1t was the friendship of those
who took an interest in her musical
training that Miss Brown cherished
most And it was this gratitude that
led to the bewildering number of con-
gratulatory letters and kilograms
which Miss Brown has been receiving
during the past few days.
When Abe" Hummel, the convict
ed lawyer, was sent, disgraced and re-
yiled, to serve years sentence in
felon's cell on Blackwel's Island,
there were many of his friends who
came forward to tell of his deeds of
kindness during his years of success,
and foremost among them was Miss
Brown.

FEW THOUGHTS ON MARRIAGE.
Hints for the Man Who Is Seeking
Happiness and Success.

A man who wants happiness and
success in life ought, as rule, not to
marry a girl older than himself. In
fact she ought to be at least five, bet
ter still, ten or even is years young
er than the man.
Marriage is not meant for the pleas
ure and comfort of the husband and
wife alone; 1t is a holy institution
meant for the future generation.
The question always is, or should
be, what will the children be? Is
their health likely to be good when

cheered up more and more as the days
dragged along. But 1t was not only
Mr.. Hummel that saw her. OF course
no one would ever suspect 1t, but
there are pleasant walks and quiet

very happy young couple were often

of the prison, more deeply engrossed
with each other than with anything
else in all the world.
