The Quality of Mercy

Do you remember in Victor Hugo's story of "Les Miserables' how for years Inspector Javert pursued Jean Val iean. who had stolen loaf of bread for starving sister?
 Well, here is a modern instance.
 Javert put Jean Valjean into the gal leys and pursued him because of hs stern sense of official duty, but the persecutoi in this modern story had no such ex- cuse.
 William F. Delmege, New York butch CT, is the Javert of the tale, and Jacob F. Heintz Is the poor delinquent whom Delmege bounded.
 The story runs thus:
 Years ago Heintz pleaded guilty to stealing some meat from his employer. Since that time he has not only lived an honest life, but has worked hard to SUD- rort his own family and also four chil- dren of dead brother.
 Wherever Heintz went Delmege fol lowed, sooner or later told about the theft ana secured the discharge of the unfor- tunate man.
 Discouraged by his struggle against these odds, Heintz had Delmere arrested IDf D1cdCu OL tic PtdSC. iiC idttcl db- nlitted to the judge he had secured the discharge of Heintz three different times He said he thought it was 'his duty to tell.
 Did you know this man was leading an honest life?" asked the magistrate. No said Delmege.
 Whereupon the court grew indignant .Is there then no such thing as pen aiice or mercy? Must the door of op portunity. be everywhere slammed in thi poor mans face? l will put you undel bond of 5000 to keep the peace as to thi: matter"
 In default of bail Delmege went to jail Oh, just judge.
 sIieintz, like Jean Valjean, was redeem ing his life. And every time he triet to get his head above water Delmegt pushed him under.
 '''The quality of mercy is not strained.
 The pitiless Javert of Hugos story torn in his desire between the call o Guty and the call of mercy, had thu grace to drown himself This modern Javert. with no sWorr oath to support, showed no bowels O mercy and deserved none.

 When Woman Proposes" By Anne
 Warner. Little, Brown & Co.,, Boston.
 SIPS net.
 Anne Warmers stories can trip with wondrous lightness and admirable activ- ity close about life and literature. and never touch on either. "When Woman Proposes" is a fair sample of her alac- rity and nimbleness. There are 15o pages and not bit of possibility or plausibiity in the petty plot. The author is dar- ingly dligent at doing dialogue, but there is in none of 1t a sentilla of wit, or q sparkle of charm. It is the most in- dustrious dabbling of the day
 The story has already appeared in one of the leading magazines before being offered to the public in a deliciously dainty edition de luxe.
