the thief is longing and aching to get

Kind to Their Children and Sell

BY CHARLES S0MERvILLE.

HE underworld has no separate
topography. 1t moves constant
ly at the elbow of responsibility
Its infamous aristocrats are ever in the
haunts of fashion, and its low-browed,
humble toilers in the crooked lanes are
Lying cheek by jowl with the decent
poor.
This is what your all-seeing eyes
could surely show you of the under
world; and more startling still, per-
haps, might be the discovery that it's
inhabitants are not so altogether diff
ferent from you and me. More wilful
in their weaknesses, certainly, they
are; more hysterical in their hilarities;
binder in their loves and bitterer in
their hatreds; supinely subject to all
emotions, good or bad, undoubtedly.
l remember so we'll the first
time / saw a burglar in flesh and blood.
His black mask was; off, his revolver
was in the possession of the police; he
had just been sentenced to ter years
Imprisonment and was saying good-by
to his, wife and three little children.
He was wholly like any other grief
stricken human being. His sob was
the same. He was a sandy-haired man
with rather large, foollsha blue eyes.
1t was hard to imagine those same
large, blue eyes looking very terrible,
ever behind a black mask.
The thief in the community is very
much like the boy whose or
sruf1ianism has caused the other little
children to band together to %ostracize
him. He may move about with a sullen
swagger. carry a chip on his shoulder
and a vicious CLEAN in his eyes, but
there is always a sob in his throat. So

county. directly across the river from
Fredericksburg. The date of the re-
moval Of the Washingtons from the
Potomac to the Rappahannock is
doubtful, but It occurred between 1875
and 1740. The Rappahannock farm
