THE CASE OF ONE BOY

An Italian boy OF - shuffled into
the chambers OF the Juvenile court at
Denver the other day. His coat was
torn His eyes were red. On his
sleeve he wore a bit OF crepe.

who presided over that court. My

Out In the state OF womans suffrage
there is a law which forbids any child
under IA TO work. But the Judge got
the rest OF the story before turning
down the request.
The father had worked for IS years
as section hand for a railroad. His
average wage was about $3.50 a day.
He died working. dropping In his
tracks while straining under an extra
heavy burden.
His ESTATE" consisted OF a wife and
six children. The boy who wanted

Why Not Have a
Nice Little System

We are told that Chas. p. Taft, at an
expense OF $4,000 per year. will main
tain a private telephone wire from his
wife's house In Cincinnati To the White
House In Washington
, II this is wire from brother TO
brother, then this is a touching and
holy thing.
But is the theory OF fraternal anec'
ton borne out by history?
Did Charles p. have a private wire
to William II. when Brother BIZ was
only a lawyer? A Judge? A secre-
tary OF war? No. three times.
Brother Bill has been away from
Brother Charlie for many years and
never before has the need OF private
wire been felt, though funds have been
at ali times ample IL need there were.
Brother Charlie, be IL said, Is some
pluto. There are few II any "good
things" in which he is not.
So IL not a private wire from
brother TO a brother. then 1t IL prl-
vate wire from a plute 10 president!
II so, why not get a combination
rate by leasing five more wires? IL
is much cheaper. and J. p. Morgan,
Dear Aldrich, the Guggenheim outfit
and John ID. Archbold could each take
a line. That would leave one which
might find a taker, after June first, at
Oyster Bay.
With that gear-up wouldn't you like

system-that is. until the Oyster Bay
line blew its plug or burned fuse.

brother. He did what he could-haxd
manual labor. II was a necessary
work. Every passenger who rode over
those tracks during those Is years
was safer because OF his labor. Every
merchant who received goods over
the line benefited from his toll.
But ne bore all the risks, all the
burdens. Were We humane. even
civilized In our laws. a compensatory
damage law would force the railroad
To take up the burden OF keeping the
home which this man tried 10 estab-
lish. II would put Its great shoulder
under the heavy burden which has
been passed on to the mother, on her
bed OF sickness. and to this boy. who
must leave his school and 20 out. half
equipped and with only half chance.
TO battle with life.
"Of course, have no idea that such
law would be blow at the profits
on dollars never invested: that II
would prevent any OF the extortion by
the company. The railroad would
pass the burden along again to the
consumer. But society as a whole
benefited from this mans toll. Shall
the burden always be on the backs
OF the defenseless and the weak?"
Do you agree? Or is II more Christ
ian, more civilized--even good busi-
ness-as a nation. TO send this father
less boy to the street to grow into
half-manhood?

ed across the pavement on to the row
OF carriages by the curb. A bevy OF
beautifully-dressed women came and
went. for by this time the dance next
door was at its height The usual
curious loafers had gathered on the
other side OF the road. They are to
be seen any night outside q great
house in the London season, but
Ailsa had not often witnessed the
spectacle. so she looked at 1t with the
a pilot cap pulled well down over bis
ears stood on the fringe Of the crowd
There was something familiar to
Ailsa In the way In which he scraped
his clean-shaven chin with his fore
finger. A policeman calmly moving
the little knot Of people on, hustled
the stranger into the gutter. so that
the glittering rays Of a brougham
lamp shone full on his face.
Ailsa started. and her heart beat a
little faster. For there was no mis-
taking the features OF the man who
stood there grimly watching the
crowd fiuttering up and down the
steps of No. IA. Ailsa's eyes did not
deceive her. The man below was
Archibald Colville.
What did 1t mean?" Ailsa asked
herself the question YEARLY. There
was smile Of grim amusement on
the face Of Colville; he suggested a
spider watching a fly struggling in
the web. Then he turned and walked
away with his hands behind him. At
little distance came another figure.
and Ailsa OWNED at once that the
second figure was logging the foot
steps OF the first one. AS the spy
came past the fiaring carriage lamps
Ailsa felt no more than thrill as she
recognized the outline OF John Stern.
Both figures vanished into the nigh.
and were seen no more. Ailsa crept
back to the studio. and locked the
door.

instant she would have found II hare
TO open the panel There was some
thing almost senseless about thai
knocking-it was SO different from
what might have been expected.
1T sounds so different to what ono
has expected" Grace said with wan,
OF logic that Ailsa could have deemed
to be laughable In other circum
stances. "Of course. have no reason
for saying 1t. but It looks as IL some
body had found us out"
Aisa nodded in sympathy. Hcl
heart was still beating very fast
though the knocking seemed 10 have
ceased altogether.
Il know exactly what you mean,
she said Il don't know, for instance
that Inspector Burles would knock
like that. All the same, Grace. II
seems to me that we are permitting
ourselves to become frightened and
nervous. We shall have to take the
risk"
II suppose we shall" Grace admit

justified in the assumption that no
body besides Inspector Burles and
ourselves knows OF the passage from
one house to the other. But l dare

Then IL you dare not, must,
Ailsa said firmly. IL. too, have had dis
turbing elements to alarm me, OF

Ailsa crossed the room In the direc
ton OF the secret panel. Very patient
~ and gently she opened II the width
of a sheet OF paper. She motioned to
Grace TO extinguish the lamps, SO
that the room was left In absolute
darkness. This being accomplished
Ailsa returned with more holiness 70

for company more than she had ever
dono since first she came under the
ban OF No -. She was close to the
heart Of the mystery. and yet it was
SO dark all round that she could see
nothing. The more she thought the
matter over the more confused she
became. Colville had never given the
slightest signs OF interest in his
neighbors; hep rofessed not to know
any OF them by name. And yet il
was quite evident that he knew al
about the occupants OF No. IA. Al
the same time, Ailsa felt quite sure
that he was entirely ignorant OF the
passage connecting the two houses.
But why was Mr.. Colville skulking
about like a thief in the night, hiding
here and there. when all the time he
had a comfortable roof over his head
And why was John Stern following
Colville in that furtive way? Ailsa
thought IL over until her head began
to give way. and the various things
in the studio took new and fantastic
shapes. A clock somewhere near
family Ailsa could hear the sounds OF
music next door. Very quietly she
opened the panel leading TO Lady Al
tamont's boudoir. and then sat down
TO listen. She could hear the sounds
OF music much more plainly now, and
they had a soothing effect on her fray
ed nerves. She would have liked u
be up and doing something; the In
action was maddening. II seemed 10
her that she could hear somebody IN
the boudoir moving about in steathy
fashion. She had half a mind to
