Times Reader Defend. Suicide.


To the Editor OF The Times: feel
prompted TO criticize the editorial in
your issue OF the 14th. where YOU SO
severely score the Harvard suicide. To
begin with, personally | don't believe
a civilized being can, In his right mind
take his own or his fellow mans life.
Nature and instinct makes us protect
our life. Many Is the time have put
out my hand to save me from falling
or suddenly stepped back to save my
self from accident even before It
would seem one had time to think.
At the very beginning of your article
you say He had studied hard
night and day" There Is an old say
ing, II was the last straw that broke
the camers back" Might not this
have been the case here where the
lad did not realize what he was doing.
When one stops to thinks what a few
moments difference will make. how
can one do such thing. There is an
other old saying: People who live In
glass houses should not throw stones"
There are probably few II any of US
who In our lives do not need the aid
and sympathy of our fellow men. Sup
pose. for instance, you were this lads
father or mother. How would you
like to read the harsh words? There
Is a great deal of responsibility con-
nected with several offices in this
world. For instance the doctor. the
minister and the editor. / believe
opinions expressed through the public
press have before now convicted an
innocent man.
This lad did without doubt care
enough for life to live" | believe IL
Is our duty TO look with clemency on
the failures OF our fellow men and
help each other TO carry our loads. A
pleasant look and a kind word often
helps more than we think. We all
have crosses and burdens TO bear, and
In many cases small trials precede
greater things, trials that are never
considered by the Judge and the jury
In this world.

Mrs. Tabor turned TO me quickly.
You can smoke here Just as wei"
she said hurriedly, Il like II. And
besides, you are the only one who
seems to have anything to say this
evening. These other dear stupid peo-
pie are both acting as II we were sit
ting at baked meats instead Of

some dark secret OF their own" She
was cheering visibly as she spoke,
but with the last words her face
clouded again. l did my best to keep
the talk moving after that, though
Heaven knows what l found to say.
And at last the meal was over.
AS soon as we left the table, Mr..
Tabor suggested that his wife was
very tired, sad that she should be of
to bed. She agreed reluctantly
enough enly when Lady joined her
father in his importantly and said
that she would go up with her. At
last she rose and bade US all good
night; but when she and Lady were
at the very door, she turned and
looked back at us. Then, OF sud
den she ran lightly across the room
and stopped tony ear IT have q lit

she whispered, They are trying 10

CHAPTER XVI.
MeaQer Revelations.

I glanced instinctively across at
Mr.. Tabor, to see II he had over
beard; but he gave no sign OF having
done So He stood with one broad
hand slowly tightening and relaxing
over the back of his chair, his eyes
following unwaveringly the slight fig
ure as II paused beyond the curtains
and Lady let them fall into place,
then he sat wearily down again, with
q smile that did not smooth the whtte
bristle OF his brows.
THAT shows how tired Mrs. Tabor
fs," he said casually. II never knew
her to confuse the names In that way
tefore."
My first shock changed unreason-
ably into the feeling OF suspected
conspirator. | was sure that he had
not heard: his reference was only to
his wife's calling Lady Miriam not
to her whispered words; but what
could those words mean? Where was
Miriam? And II this house were In
some way divided against itself, on
what side was I? Then / became
suddenly conscious OF my silence.
Surely there Ii nothing at all
strange in that" I answered. For a
mother to call her children by one an
others names Is the eommenest thing
I'm the world; especially when" l
stopped, wondering whether ! were
quite sure that Miriam was dead.
= "Yes, natural enough. OF course"
He spoke absently; then went on as
n answering my thought; "And then,
Mrs. Tabor was greatly shaken by
our first daughters death: so much
so that she has never quite recovered
herself physically. Sometimes, even
now. she hardly realizes. think, that
Miriam is not here" He looked down
at his hand, then raised his eyes
steadily to mine.
That was several years ago?" I
said. TO say something.
Two years. We have to keep Wal
ter Reid out OF her sight, although
she Is very fond OF him, because his
actual words and ways make her re-
member" Perhaps II was the effort
to convince himself which made him
seem needIessly eager to explain.
"She must be growing stronger
though, all the While. I suggested.
And from now on, we shall have
peace from Carucci and all the other
disturbances he brings In his train"

THE COMMENTED
COUNTRY EDITOR

Fountain Inn is town in South
Carolina, says Golfers. The editor
=of-the4 sfribune,.- -of@that= address,
says he would rather have his pres
ent position than to write editorials
for metropolitan daily, one OF his
reasons being that in the great city
he would know few OF the boys
around the ONCE, be on speaking
terms with the patrolman on his block
possibly, have a nodding acquaint-
ance with his next-door neighbor (per-
haps), and know his janitor, while 90
out OF every 100 faces he passed In
the street would be unknown. He
would hunger for the open country
and board walks, for fields of clover,
wheat, and barley, and he would miss
the cackle of the hens. In Fountain
Inn he knows all the first names.
hardships and triumps, virtues and
faults he can sit up with neighbora
when they are sick, and they will
take notice when Il is his turn to die.
The town is without rich or poor,
without saloons or gambling dens;
the people like the churches, and the
children are deemed fortunate In
their school. We like the looks Of
