All day long the sobs and cries
and prayers of a little, poorly clad
woman, who Rugged baby close

woman prisoner in half a cen

The little woman who prayed
to the Blessed Virgin to relieve

And she is the victim of jilt-

American law. So they did not
appear to answer the suit. Fan
ME Sammarco was awarded the
LOCO by default, and one day a
court bailiff called on Mrs. Par
Iegrecco and asked her for the
money.
Of course neither the woman
nor her husband had so much
money. So the bailiff took Mrs.
Parlegrecco away to the Ludlow
Street debtors Jail, to stay there
until the money is paid, under
an old law, which permits this
sort of thing.
The jailer allowed the little.
prisoner to bring her youngest
baby to Jail with her.
But there are three other chill
dren who have been made moth
erless in the little tenement home
of the Parlegrecco's. And the
husband walked the streets all
day today trying to find a bonds
man that would restore his wife
to him, and a another to his chill
dren.
He did not find one, and mean
time, Mrs. Parlegrecco rocks her
baby in her arms in the Jail, and
prays to the Virgin to free her,
and swears. by all things holy that
she never said anything about
Fannie Sammarco.

officials said several hours after the
explosion that the death list would be
more than 40, while others were miss

Policeman Discovers
The Secret of Love.

Believe me, It's the hot weather and
not the moon that makes the sentiment
bubble out in the young heart this time
Of year The speaker was police
man philosopher. He patrols Peach
tree and considers all persons between
sixteen and twenty one his special
charges
out Of the wealth Of my experience
tell you this: The moon shines as
much in winter az in summer but you
don't have any veranda cooling in De-
cember, therefore, | say it's the atmos-
phere. Without talking too much, am
free to confde that 1t does an old head
good to walk abroad at this season
Most any night you can hear soft
sighings which mean nothing or every
thing: or perhaps it's the soft tinklng
of a piano with the sound of a voice
singing ! Want No Stars in Heaven to
Guide Me. This particular young wom-
an who sings this song processes hard
ness Of heart, I'm told-inssts that her
repertoire Of songs was chosen quite at
random. No one who ever heard her
sing i Love Thee would believe that
Il frequently meet strollsrs but, Of
course, never see them. ! don't see that
il really matters If this summers en-
gagements are pronounced null and
void the next. The sentiment is there
for the time whether it takes or peels.
for one am glad that there is more
or less insincerity in It, because if ii
wasn't. there certainly would be some
direful things happen. 1t would be aw =
full, for Instance, IL that young man
who declared a positive hankering to
cut off one or two fingers Just to show
the girl from Louisville that he was
capable of suffering for her sake, would
really make good. Why, in a little while
he wouldn't have any more fingers and
toes than a duck. These summer
time pledges would certainly be hard
on the drink vendors. Under the soft
influence Of HER 1t is usually appro-
pirate to foreswear any number OF con :
coctions For instance, there's one lad
die | know who has sworn that he will
never drink another gin fizz-for her
sake. Of course He doesn't mention
martins. or frappes, or highballs, OF
any OF the other fifty-seven varieties OF
bracers, and | presume they are not
tabooed Possibly she doesn't like the
color of gin.
But it's the humor or the season
and it's the atmosphere, believe me. and
not the moon that does it,
