started-drew step nearer-stared
down at the thin face on the pillow:
One trembling hand reached out and
caught the back of the chair; she
was very pale-very pale-she hardly
breathed.
Tom. seeing his chance to escape,
slipped from the room and took refuge
in the Morgan fiat. The closing door
slowly opened his eyes-opened them
upon the white face looking down at
him. The face seemed unreal, merely
the face in a frequent dream. He
closed his eyes, then opened them. The
face was still there. A great, wild.
dizzy thrill went through him. He
stared.
Slowly his haggard face rose from the
pillow and he rested upon his elbow
and he still stared. Miss Chambers!
he whispered at last, marveling.

Synopsis of Chapters Already Published

Rev. Philip Morton, head of st. Chris
tophers Mission in New York, is found
dead, and his friend David Aldrich, Is
summoned to take charge of his personal
affairs. From the dead mans private pa
pers David discovers that Morton. to
silence blackmailing woman Lillian
Drew. has taken $1,000 from a charity
fund. and that his death was probably
suicide.
The revelation Of Morton's weakness
would be likely to undo his work in build
ing st. Christopher's into power for
good. so David determines to keep the
defalcation secret at any cost. He forces
Lillian Drew to surrender package OF
letters from Morton, and then frlghttens
her leaving the city. When Mr.. Haddon,
treasurer OF the mission, finds that the
S5, 600 is missing, he shows suspicion OF
David. Helen Chambers, daughter OF Al
eXander Chambers, rich banker, is pres
ent. David loves her, but rather than
disclose Morton's secret, he declares that
he himself took the money.
David passes four years in prison. AFTER
his release he rents room near St.
Christophers. S. A visit to the mission en-
ables David, unrecOgniZed, 70 learn that
his sacrifice has not been in vain, so far
as MOrtons memory is concerned. BY
other means he discovers that Helen
Chambers is still unmarried. He meets
strange neighbOrs-drunken old Jimmy
Morgan and his curiouSly keen daughter,
Kate. who calls on David and worms out
of him the fact that he has been in
prison. She evidently thinks no less Of
MIN because OF MS supposed Criminal
career.
After many discouragements David Sc
cures a humble position in a small de-
partment store. Kate Morgan, in the
meantime, reveals TO him that she herself
is a professional thief. She laughs at his
avowals that he intends TO live honestly.
and even invites him TO join her in
Job" She accepts his refusal as we'll
meant but futile pOstpOnement Of neces-
Eary return to crime as the only means OF
supporting himself Her sinister point Of
view seems the stronger when the depart
ment store proprietor, learning that David
has been in prison, discharges him-and
refuses to pay over the wages due the
young man. David threatens 10 use force
II he is not given his earnings.
The stOrekeeper reluctantly yields the
money David demands. Lack of employ
ment brings hunger and privation. He is
followed by boy. who attacks him at his
door.
David captures his assaiant, who proves
to b. a hunger-maddened boy who calls
himself Tom jerks. He feeds and be-
friends this waif and gives the boy a place
to sleep.
Tom repays David's kindness by car
ing for his benefactor when the latter
becomes ill., Kate Morgan also is helpful
and kind.

Visitors Come to Study Rate Laws.

Wisconsin is the mecca of ratema-
kers from all over the United States,
who wish to learn how it is that the
Badger state has solved the problem
of regulating the corporations in a
manner satisfactory to both the pub
lie and the corporations. Californians
and Kansas experts are among the Ia
test to come to Wisconsin for ideas,
and now that Illinois has copied the
Wisconsin law it seems likely that
that state will also have delegation
here soon to see how Wisconsin's rate
commission operates.
Attention of these other state
boards was called to the Wisconsin
rate regulation system especially by
declarations of the members of the
Badger board that when President
Theodore N. Vail of the American
Telephone and Telegraph company,
which controls the Bell Telephone and
Western Union Telegraph companies,
in his annual report advocated corpo-
ration regulation by state govern
mental authorities he was advocating
exactly the system now in use in Wis
consin. The fact that Wisconsin's rate
laws, known for years as satisfactory
to the public, had proved so fair from
the corporation standpoint also as to
cause the head of a great corporation
to declare in favor of such regulation
everywhere, has been largely respon-
sible for the renewed interest of rate
makers of other states On the Wiscon'
sin railroad commission and public
utility laws.

Bunch.
''I'll give you eight guesses," l an

old man hands out I'm afraid it must
be a mileage ticket"
We'll, who's running against him ?"
Bunch insisted.

anyone with a roll big enough to stand

BANK GUARANTEE Law
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 3-The bank
guaranty law of Oklahoma, Nebraska
and Kansas were today declared con-
stitutional by the supreme court of the
United States The opinion of court
was announced by Justice Holmes. He
said the main objection to the laws
was that assessments of banks by the
state to create fund to guarantee de-
posts in other banks took private prop
erty of one bank for the use of an
other without compensation.
Admitting this, Holmes said that there
are more powerful considerations on the
other side of the question.
"In the first place." said Holmes, cit
is established that Interior public ad-
vantage may justify comparatively insig-
nifcant taking of private property for
what, in its immediate purpose, is pri-
vate use.
ut would seem that there may be
other casese bisides the everyday one
of taxation, in which the share of each
party in mutual protection is sufficient
compensation for the burden that it as
sumes."
The justie then proceeded to justify
the guarantee laws under police powers.
Police power, he said, may be put forth
in aid of "what is sanctioned by usage,
or held by prevailing morality or pre-
ponderant opinion to be greatly neces-
sary to public welfare"
Holmes held that guarantee laws
came under this head.
