IMPROVING MORALS IN CHINA
Influence OF Christian Teachings
Shown In the Changed condi-
tions Found There.

The public conscience is now be-
ing awakened upon this aspect of pub
lie morality Last week l was in
ivited to take part in meeting or
ganized by men who are not directly
connected with any Christian church,
but who are sincerely DESTROYS of as
sisting in the reformation of their
countrymen. Their purpose was to
start an antigambling league, and
with this in mind they called public
meeting, which was attended by some
hundreds of Chinese scholars and
business men, and resolutions were
passed in approved public meeting
style, approving of campaign against
the gambling vice. Members of the
Chinese Young Mems Christian asso-
citation were asked to assist in the
meeting, and to demonstrate by the
means of games the possibility of
recreation without vice. Suitable adj
dresses were given by prominent Chi
nese, and the chief organizer of the
education inspectors for the provinces
OF kianEsu and hfangsi. A Cnlnese
Roman Catholic teacher gave violin
solo, a Chinese secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association rendered
two cornet solos, and a Protestant
missionary sang to the gathering. The
whole meeting was conducted in so
orderly and orthodox fashion that it
was scarcely possible to realize how
tremendous a reformation in the
whole Chinese outlook upon public
life this meeting revealed. Twenty
years, even ten years, ago such a
meeting would not have been within
the realm of possibility. Today we
have a class of public moralists arising
who have undoubtedly learned from
Christianity in their midst the ideals
which they are DESTROYS of impressing
upon their countrymen."

morning. Arnold Armstrong and
Louise had a long conference, during
which he was heard to storm and be-
come very violent. When he left 1t
was after two. He had gone up to
the house-Thomas did not know why
and at three o'clock he was shot at
the foot of the circular staircase.
The following morning Louise had
been i'll. She had asked for Arnold,
and was told he had left town.
Thomas had not the moral courage to
tell her of the crime. She refused
doctor, and shrank morbidly from hav
ing her presence known. Mrs. Wat
son and Thomas had had their hands
full, and at last Rosie had been en-
listed to help them. She carried nee
essary provisions - little enough -
to the lodge, and helped to keep the
secret.
Thomas told me quite frankly that
he had been anxious to keep Louises
presence hidden for this reason: They
had all seen Arnold Armstrong that
night, and he, himself, for one, was
known to have had no very friendly
feeling for the dead man. AS to the
reason for Louise's flight from Cali
fornia, or why she had not gone to
the Fitzhughs', or to some of her peo-
pie in town, he had no more informa-
ton that l had. With the death of
her stepfather and the prospect of
the immediate return of the family,
things had become more and more
impossible. / gathered that Thomas
was as relieved as at the turn events
had taken. No, she did not know OF
either of the deaths In the family.
Taken all around, I had only substi'
tuted one mystery for another. If
knew now why Rosie had taken the
basket of dishes, did not know who
had spoken to her and followed her
along the drive. If knew that Louise
was in the lodge, did not know why
she was there. If knew that Arnold
Armstrong had spent some time in the
lodge the night before he was muir
dered, was no nearer the solution OF
the crime. Who was the midnight in
truder who had so alarmed Liddy and
myself? Who had fallen down the
clothes chute? Was Gertrude's lover
villain or victim? Time was Il
answer all these things.

SeIf-Supporting Woman Who Would
Succeed Should Be Well
Dressed.

Any woman who has her way to
make in the world, whether in social
or business circles, must recognize
that dress is one of her chief assets,
a writer in the Delineator says. The
efficiency Of saleswoman, stenog'
rapher, teacher-in fact OF any wom-
an who works-is judged by her dress.
Shabbiness is almost always taken as
a sign of ill-success and 1t Is a popu'
lar II somewhat fallacious theory that
real merit and ability always succeed.
Carelessness is quite as blighting to
ones prospects as shabbiness. 1t may
not be altogether just or fair, but 1t
Is true that wherever you go your So
cial position, your income. success or
failure, your ability and character are

TIL CIRCULAR STAIRCASE

himself, / had long talk with the
old man, and this is what learned.
On Saturday evening before, about
ten o'clock, he had been reading in
the sitting room downstairs, when
some one raped at the door. The old
man was alone, Warner not having
arrived, and at first he was uncertain
about opening the door. He did so
finally, and was amazed at being con-
fronted by Louise Armstrong. Thomas
was an old family servant. having
been with the present Mrs. Armstrong
since she was a child, and he was
overwhelmed at seeing Louise. He
saw that she was excited and tired,
and he drew her into the sitting room
and made her sit down. After while
he went to the house and brought
Mrs. Watson, and they talked until
late. The old man said Louise was in
trouble, and seemed frightened. Mrs.
Watson made some tea and took it to
the lodge, but Louise made them both
promise to keep her presence a secret.
She had not known that Sunnyside
was rented, and whatever her trouble
was, this complicated things. She
seemed puzzled. Her stepfather and
her mother were still in California
that was all she would say about
them. Why she had run away no one
could imagine. Mr.. Arnold Armstrong
was at the Greenwood club, and at last
Thomas, not knowing what else to do,
went over there along the path. 1t
was almost midnight. Part way over
he met Armstrong himself and
brought him to the lodge. Mrs. Wat
son had gone to the house for some
bed linen, 1t having been arranged
that under the circumstances Louise
would be better at the lodge until

RouTT COUNTY, COLORADO, LAND

was opening and airing Louise's OVID
rooms at the house. Her private sit

were as they had been when we came.
They occupied the end of the east
wing, beyond the circular staircase,
and we had not even opened them.
The girl herself was too i'll to notice
what was being done. When, with

home, we got her to the house and
up the stairs into bed. she dropped
into a feverish sleep, which lasted
until morning. DIR. Stewart-that was
the Englewood doctor-stayed almost

and watching her closely. Afterward
