As he drew near her IN one Of his

Back and forth he paced. She was
evidently suffering from the worst

think OF her all alone with no one to
comfort her. Daubiton debated. Per.
haps she preferred to be left alone.
The boat suddenly gave a roll and

went to her and spoke respectfully:
Can I do anything for you?"
There was no answer.

groans were made by the chains which
led from the rudder to the steering

CHAUFFEUR AND CHILD.

Something May Be Done to Scare the
Other Fellow.
Darragh, a chauffeur, who lately ran
down and killed boy in New York,
and ran away, has been captured in
Texas. He admitted his crime, an
the papers say:
HE declared that while passing
along the street in his automobile he
approached a crowd Of boys playing.
In the scramble to get away one Of
the boys was struck by the lamp AMI
mudgear and knocked down"
Probably that is true, because 4:
describes what commonly happens.
The scene is perfectly familiar-ch.l-
dren in the straet, and an autom obile
coming toward them lickety-spl!t
Those of them who get out of the
way in time are not run over. Some
thing can doubtless be done to keep
children out OF the streets of cities:
. great deal can certainly be done to
make chauffeurs wary of running over
them. There are streets and streets.
In some, children abound and vehicles
are scarce. In such streets the chill
dren's play-rights are paramount ana
vehicles should respect them. AMI
there are great thoroughfares and
minor ones where vehicles abound and
children are scarce, and in these the
rights Of vehicles are paramount
What seems to be needed is to in
duce relations of mutual terror be-
tween children and chauffeurs, so that
the chauffeur shall be just as badly
scared at the sight of the child in
the street as the child is at the sight
of the automobile coming.-Harper's
Weekly.
