II don't know for certain" the
woman answered, "but think his

What has my name to do with TT"
interrupted the man persistently.
viii you answer my questions?"
When / know who you are and by
what right you put them, will de-
eide" was Langford's contemptuous
answer.
The woman had never seen her COM
panion in a temper, but he was peril
ously near the breaking point now, and
Langford, although he realized 1t not,
had never been and would never be
in so much danger as at that instant.
A swift glance showed her the man
strung to the very outbreaking point.
The woman laid her hand upon his
arm, calming touch.
I'm the world" she said, people are
presented to one another"
How she loathed Langford. She
thought for moment that she had
only to say the word and her island
companion would tear him to pieces.
She wondered how far after all she
had succeeded in instilling into his
mind the restraints of civilization. She
began to see dimly that such an
achievement was beyond the power Of
any single individual; that 1t had been
in the past and would always be in the
future the result of the cooperation
and restraint of the many. Yet she
forced herself to speak evenly to the
visitor.

name to be John Revell Charpock.

ginian. l found him here upon the
Island"
This matters nothing" said the is
lander, II don't care what this mans
name is, or who he Is. want to know
why he distresses you"
Sir" said Langford, wondering what
was the best tone to take with this
singular being, pray let us withdraw
yonder to the shade of the trees where
we can be more private"
The men in the boat who had scram-
bed out upon the sands had been
eager spectators and auditors Of every
thing that had gone on. Their curl
osity was greatly excited and their
propinquity was evidently distasteful
to Langford.
You are refusing to answer my
questions" said the man. Il will not
be put off further"
Man." said the woman, laying her
hand upon his arm, ut is my wish"
"Oh, If you wish It,"
He turned without word and led
the way rapidly across the beach out
of earshot but not out Of sight among
the trees.
Now" he said turning and facing
the other two.
He noticed that the woman was
CHASTITY white and that Langford was
scarcely less pale.
Sir" said Langford firmly, II de-
cline to answer your question. have
business with this lady and with her
alone. 1t does not concern you and
beg you to withdraw for a moment
and give me free speech with her
After that l may have some questions
to put to you"
Everything that concerns her con
Germs me-" said the man, sternly
what you have to say to her mus
be said to me. Speak on"
For a moment Langford looked as il
he would have sprung upon the other
but he was so clearly no match fol
the wild stranger that discretion came
to his aid and kept him still. Besides
he had no wish for vulgar brawlinl
then. He turned to the woman.

DEATH PENALTY
Rhode Island Favors It's Restoration
Life plprisonment Has Little Effect
on Criminals

Times-Defnoerat Rhode Island is
one Of the States OF the Union where
the death pe1laity does not exist and has
not existed since back in the ffties,
when it was abolished and life impris-
onment substituted because a man was
hung in the State who was afterwards
found to have been innocent To pre-
vent the possibility of another such oc-
currence the death penalty was entirely
abolished, it being believed that inpris-
onnent for life would prove quite as
effective as a deterrent and punishment
as hanging.
Evidently life Imprisonment has not
proven eficacious as a warning to
criminals, as crime has increased to
sufficient degree to create a strong. sen
timent in favor of the srestoration of
the death penalty for murder, and bill
is now before the Legislature of Rhode
Island with that purpose in view
There are many good people IN every
State who are opposed to capital pun.
ishment either from humane motives or
becaase they think that life imprison-5
nent is equally as good a deterrent.
Experience has not borne. out this idea,
Only recently. France has resumed the
infiction of capital punishment, after
having allowed the law To- fall in disuse
for number of years. Murderers were,
condemned to death as before, but in
Difference to popular sentiment the pres
ident always conImuted the sentence.
Whether this leniency was the direct
cause or not, the fact remains that vio-
lent crimes increased remarkably in
France, until the people became aroused
and demanded that the death penalty be
enforced. Accordingly, murderer who
had been convicted of a peculiarly afro
cious murder and sentenced to be gull
lotined, was actually executed, and since
then there have been a number of exc
cutions in France.
There is evidently a class of human
brutes for whom Imprisonment has no
terrors and who can be impressed only
by the fear of the gallows or the cleo
trio chair. That the world is steadily
better is likely enough, but it
has not yet advanced to the point where
it is safe to forego the death penalty as
a protection to society

THE SITUATION IN PHILADEL-

New Orleans States, March 7: The
differences between the Philadel-
Iphia Street Railroad Company and its
striking employees promise to result in
even more serious disorders than those
of the past week in which number of
lives were lost and thevsentire4 comtnu1l-
ity was subjected to great inconyen-
fences and losses. Conferences have
been held for the purpose of bringing
about an understanding between the
parties to the controversy that would
terminate the strike, but the efforts
were fruitless, because the directors of
the street railway corporation declared
that the demands of the strikers would
b resisted to the bitter end.
In reply to the committee composed
OF the leading clergymen of the city,
who urged that the trouble be settled by
arbitration, the directors of the corpor-
alton said: "The company has decided
not to change in any manner, and it
will not change, its attitude towards ar
bitration. There is nothing to arbitrate .
This answer blasted the hopes of the
clergymen, who earnestly desired peace,
and the hopes also of the business men,
who are protesting against the injury
to their trade, not to mention the public,
which in the end is the greatest sufferer.
It is evident that the street railroad
company either has absolute faith in the
business of its cause or it has resolved
to defeat the strikers at any cost to it
self. As result Of its determination
there is general sympathetic strike
such as no American city has ever be-
fore experienced, and a situation has
been created which is so serious and so
full of danger that the whole country IS
watching the course of events in PhilaS
delphia with the greatest interest and
concern
