DIR. Girtney was no respecter of per-
sons, and was more than half inclined
to give a rough answer to what he con-
sidered an impertinence; but he re-
fected a second, and then said:
II can tell you this-that the only
gladness 1 ever see in Anthon's face is
when he receives such a check"
Then the man of millions, with the
natural instinct to pick flaw in the
character Of which he knew no other
i'll, musingly remarked
Then he must be a miser."
DR.. Girtney changed the conversa-
ton, but after little while he asked:
Have you ever been in Besmer
Street,"
YES" replied the other; "only once,
when took my life in my hand out OF
sheer curiosity, and went through 1t
escorted by two policemen, armed to
the teeth. 1t is one of the vilest and
most dangerous holes in the city"
1T Is changed somewhat and safer
now," replied the doctor. "Will you
do me the personal favor for which I
have a particular reason, to walk
through Besmer Street again?- You
can go alone now without any fear,
and come back and tell me what you
have seen."
1t was an odd request: but the char
acter that made it caused it to be one
not easily slighted, and Croesus could
see that something more was meant
that would be explained hereafter. So,
without delay, he proceeded straight
way to the dreaded locality, which had
dwelt in his memory as a very limbo
of filth and crime and horror.

LEPERS IN LOUISIANA.
Provision Made by the State For Care
and Treatment.

The so-called leper colony Is an
asylum or home provided by the state
of Louisiana and maintained by 1t,
where lepers are under the control OF
mild and humane regulations and re-
ceive regular and expert medical treat
ment, with the result that not few
patients have been cured and the con-
dition of others ameliorated and I'M
proved, says the New Orleans PIC
ayune. The institution Is governed by
a state board, and the internal ar
rangements are in the hands Of group
of Sisters of Charity. The Lepers'
Home Of Louisiana occupies the build
ings and a tract of land formerly part
of a large sugar plantation. Additional
buildings for the accommodation OF the
patients and attendants have been
erected. All who are able to work or
perform any useful service, are so en-
ployed, while they have books, music,
and all proper diversions for their leis-
ure hours.
But 1t is not proposed that Louisiana
shall undertake to care for all the
lepers in the nation. Other states can
do as Louisiana has done; and as for
the United States government, 1t is its
bounden duty to take care Of its own
soldiers and sailors who have become
infected with the disease while on for
eign service, and this care should be
extended to all civilians who worked
for the government in those foreign
stations.
The American people are going to
wake up to the fact that their terrific
rial possessions in tropical countries will
in the course Of time produce a numer-
Gus crop of lepers in the various
states-north, south, east and west.

Rockford. Nov. 5.-Mrs Mary Lewis,
who was arrested at Nora Springs
Tuesday, was taken into Justice Cro-
wells court here yesterday on a charge
of abduction. On motion OF the attor-
neys the justice was given full charge
of the decision. After proceedings
which lasted nearly all day, the court
bound Mrs Lewis over to the grand
jury under $500 bond The bond was
furnished by the defendant, who holds
mortgage for alimony given her at
the time of receiving her divorce from
Joe Lewis.
The children were abducted from the
public school at the noon hour This
caused three of the teachers in the
public schools, besides other prominent
people in the community, to be called
us witnesses in the case. The argu-
ment of the defense was that there
was no intention to keep the children
away permanently. but only to take
them to Mason City and get them some
new clothes. The defense claimed this
as the privilege Of the mother, even tho
the children had been committed to the
fathers care at the time of divorce.
Mrs. Lewis has been living at Wood
bridge S. D.. and it is believed here
that her intention was to take the chill
dren back there with her.
