Little Gus stood on chair, but even
then his round black eyes could hardly
peep over the desk, so Judge Ellis had
to bend forward to see the prisoner.
Gus trousers came up under his arm
pits and were held there byzreal sus-
penders, and he looked like one OF
those funny pictures of B'rer Rabbit
in an Uncle Remus story. He would
have been Just a baby" had he lived
in the Peachtree section, but they doff
babyhood with their milk bottles where
the streets are the nurseries.
Gus is just six. but the probation Of
'fcer told the court that he had stolen a
mule and wagon; he had been up
once before for stealing a goat, and
such things as carpenters tools and
bicycles just wouldn't stay where they
were put when Gus was near.
why, if you're stealing mules at
your age" observed Judge Ellis you'll
be running off with locomotives by the
time you're in long pants. What made
you take the mule?"
Gus Appreciates Joke.
Gus grinned his appreciation of the
joke. His eyes sparkled in the best of
humor. he dug his toes into the chair,
he wiggled almost out of his red sus-
penders.
Wanted to take a ride" he ex-
planned. Il was going to bring him
back"
Judge Ellis called Gus father, a
swarthy foreigner of the type that ar
rives with a bundle of shoe strings and
leaves his children department store.
You take the boy home and be good
to him, and persuade him to do right"
he urged, kindly. Gus, Will you be
good if l let you go this timer"
Yes, sir" returns Gus. confidently.
III be so good"
Gus was the first defendant in the
convenes each week to pass upon the
offenses of bad boys and girls Some
times Judge Ellis holds the court, some
times another of the superior judges,
but always the probation officer sits
beside him to tell the story of the

CHILD SERVANTS HARD LOT
What the Little "sIavey" In England
Had to Accomplish In FIf-
teen Hours.

The other day I was in The north of
England. / was asked by friend to
look up a girl who had written offer
ing herself for situation. The house
that she was in at that moment was
a lodging-house with five floors.
Gertie is aged fifteen and a half.
and here is her ''time table,: She
rose at six, lit the kitchen fire, and
"did" the lodgers' rooms There were
two medical students lodging in the
house and clerk, and the landlady,
with her four children, occupied the
basement
Gertie took up the sbreakfases' I"
to the two young gentlemen" on the
third and fourth floors, and the
young fellow on the fifth-it was in
this way she described the dodgers.
"All 'ad 'breakfas' at eight o'clock. I"
Between s and $3.50, when the young
men went off, she went three times
up to the top of the house, carrying
the breakfast in two detachments, the
boots, which she had previously
cleaned, and the newspaper, and
made the same number of visits to
the third and fourth floors. Then the
children "had to be seen to- given
their breakfast and set on the way to
school. Then she started on her own
meal, and after that "did" the work.
Indescribable were the household
crafts in her hands But then, there
was mo time for doing things prop
erly." She had to "make" six beds,
carry down trays, "tidy" bedrooms.
All the time Gertie, in shoes too big
for her, in which she slouched all
over the place, would be running UP
and down to open the door to the dust
man, to run errands for the landlady,
to find the gas mans card, and so on.
Then the evening program began
teas, babies to be put to bed. supper
to be taken up, and the crockery for
seven or eight persons use to be
washed up" as the operation was
called, between the hours OF and IL.
At IL the wearied little creature
usually managed to get to bed. II
must not be thought that Gertie is an
exceptional worker. Child servants.

me?" she asked hoarsely.

sponded. "All the same," l continued,
looking firmly into her eyes and real
izing that her will was weakening,
''you will tell what want to know"
'Yes," she painted. 'T cannot help
myself; the truth for the first time
crosses my lips. The uncle whom I
hated, who stood between me and this
great property, did not meet his death

on his fishing expeditions Although
no one knew 1t, was with him on
that special day. He waded into deep
water, and / sat on the bank and
watched him. Suddenly the demon
which seemed to have got into me at
my birth took mastery of me.
"'Uncle Gerald / cried, I wish you
would get me that green fern which
grows right in the depths of the rock

with pleasure he replied. He re-
turned to the shore, and without re-
moving his waders went along the
edge of rock which jgtted out over
the pool. His gaff lay on the bank,
his back turned to me; followed
him cautiously-madnes doubtless
in my soul-and struck him heavy
blow with the iron instrument on the
back of his head! He fell as if he
were shot, bounded against rock,
and sank like stone to the bottom
Of the pool. I threw his fishing rod
on the water and rushed home. No
one had seen me leave the house, and
no one had seen me return. Not the
faintest suspicion was ever attached
to my name. committed the crime

the end Fate went against me, for my
uncle's widow, unknown to me, was
about to give birth to child. Three
months after my uncle's death Con-
stance was born; she is in the direct
succession and will inherit the bulk
of the property. By and by she will
