CHAPTER w.

Mrs. Haskins was Just starting
out for the police station to see
about her little boy and girl
caught stealing basket Of tur-
nips when her door opened and a
professional charity worker en-
tered.
Between sobs and entreaties for
her children Mrs. Haskins an
swered a score or more of ques-
lions. The charity worker said
Mrs. Haskins had better bring
the rest of her children to the
juvenile court next morning, add
ing: THE two who are there
now will remain In the matron's
care over night. No, there is no
use of your going down to the
station now. This is no fit
place to bring up children, any
how"
Next morning Mrs. Haskins,
with a baby in her arms, and
Henry and Jennie clutching her
ragged skirts, appeared in the
juvenile courtroom. Katie had
gone to work as usual, for she

In moment a door opened
and Mary and Jack came in the
room; both had been crying and
both were terribly frightened.
Seeing their mother they cried:
"Oh, mamma save us, take us
home; We didn't mean to take
anything; the other kids told us
to-"
A policeman motioned for the
widow, and the little children
followed her into the enclosure
where one man sat back of low
desk and where several other men
and women stood or sat around.
Widow Haskins stood before
the man at the desk-the juven-
lie court judge-and hesitating-
ly replied to his questions. The
policeman told about the theft;
the charity worker told about
the squaIor of the home she had
examined"

Chance for Sinners

OF the late Bishop Charles
G. Grafton a Fond du Lac
man said the other day:
"Once, during a disas-
trous strike, a capitalist OF
Fond du Lac rose in a church
meeting and asked leave to
speak. The Bishop gave him
the floor and the man de-
livered himself of a long
panegyric upon captains Of
industry, upon the good they
do by giving men work, by
booming the country, by re-
ducing the cost of production
and SO forth.
"When the capitalist had
finished his self-praises, and.
flushed and satisfied, had
sat down again, Bishop Graf

The children, too, began to
cry, some realizing what the
Judge had said, the rest weeping
because they saw their mother
crying there before that stern
man.
"There was a tear in the
judges eye as he replied: ut
can't be helped, Mrs. Haskins. It
is for the children's good that
you must part with them. The
oldest, Katherine, may stay with
you and you can then better pro-
