TO REDUCE GENERAL STAFF.-Army
officers are not surprised to learn Of the
contemplated reduction in the personnel Of
the General STAFF, although that project has
been kept from the public by the House
and Senate conferrees on the army appro-
priation bill It has been agreed in con-
ference TO cut down the General Staff to
twenty-five officers-two general officers
three colonels. four lieutenant colonels, six
majors and ten captains.
At present the General STAFF consists of
two major generals, three brgadier gem
erals, four cOlonels five lieutenant colonels
twelve majors and twenty captains, total
of forty-siX. There has been no difficulty,
apparently, In having this provision adopt
ed by the conferrees, and little objection to
the proposal in either House or Senate is
anticipated. although Senator Root, who as
Secretary of War was responsible for the
legislation which created the General staff,
may oppose the recommendation.
At the same time Senator Root Is on rec
ord as stating that the General STAFF as it
is now conducted has made a radical de-
parture from the purposes Of that body
contemplated when il was organized In

While the sergeant went to the te1e-
phone to carry out these orders, Capt.
Clinton turned to look at Howard, who
had collapsed, white and trembling, in
to chair
What do you want with me?" cried
Howard appealingly. Il assure you ]
had nothing to do with this. My wife's
expecting me home. Can't I go?"
Shut up!" Numbered the captain.
His arms folded, his eyes sternly
fixed upon him, Capt Clinton stood
confronting the unfortunate youth,
staring at him without saying a word.
The persistence of his stare made
Howard squirm. 1t was decidedly I'M
pleasant. He did not mind the deten-
ton so much as this mans overbear-
ing. bullying manner. He knew he was
innocent, therefore he had nothing to
fear. But why was this police captain
staring at him so? Whichever way
he sat, whichever way his eyes turned,
he saw this bulldog-faced policeman
staring silently at him. Unknown to
him, Capt. Clinton had already begun
the dreaded police ordeal known as
the third degree"

CHAPTER TX.

Fifteen minutes passed without a
word being spoken. There was deep
silence in the room. 1t was so quiet
that once could have heard a pin drop.
Had a disinterested spectator been
there to witness 1t, he would have
been at once impressed by the dra-
matte tableau presented-the dead
man on the floor, his white shirt front
spattered with blood, the cringing,
frightened boy crouching in the chair,
the towering figure of the police cap
tain sitting sternly cycling his hapIess
prisoner, and at the far end of the
room Detective Sergeant Maloney
busy sending hurried messages
through the telephone.
What did you do it for?" Numbered
the captain suddenly.
Towards tongue Glove to his palate
He could scarcely articulate. He was
innocent, of course, but there was
something in this mans manner which
made him fear that he might, after all,
have had something to do with the
tragedy. Yet he was positive that he
was asleep on the bed all the time
The question is, would anybody believe
him? He shook his head pathetically.
Il didn't do it. Really, l didn't"
Shut your mouth! You're lying,
and you know you're lying. Wait till
the coroner comes. Wen fix you"
Again there was silence, and now be-
gan long, tedious wait, both men re-
tanning the same positions, the cap
tain watching his prisoner as a cat
watches a mouse.
Towards mental anguish was al
most uncomfortable. He thought of his
poor wife who must be waiting up for
him all this time, wondering what had
become of him. She would imagine
the worst, and there was no telling
what she might do. If only he could
get word to her. Perhaps she would
be able to explain things. Then he
thought of his father. They had quar-
relied, it was true, but after all it was
his own flesh and blood. At such a
critical situation as this, one forgets.
His father could hardly refuse to come
to his assistance. He must get
lawyer. too, to protect his interests.
This police captain had no right to de-
tain him like this. He must get word

HER WELL-MERITED REPRO0F
Rebuke of Boston Teacher Must Al
most Have Broken the Heart of
Little Sammy Parker.

A well-known educator tells of a
school of advanced ideas in Boston,
wherein no pupil is ever punished in
any way, the individuality of every
child being held too sacred for repres-
sion.
One day. it appears, soon after her
entrance into this school, one little
girl came home with face wet with
tears and her mouth covered with
blood.
The mother was greatly alarmed,
and, taking the child into her arms,
asked what had happened.
The story of what had happened was
sobbed out to the sympathetic mother.
One Sammy Parker, it seemed, had
struck the little girl and knocked out
couple of teeth.

been restored to equanimity her IA
