1t is not 70 escape suffering on his own
account, but to prevent the suffering OF
others. He explains himself.
Hilary Cults was the eldest OF the
twelve children. Of Sir Nathaniel and
Lady Cults. Sir Nathaniel was pros.
porous and vindictlve haberdasher
DYING he left peculiar will, as others
not haberdashers have done, in times
contemporary and remote. Hilary had
been wild" and was cut of without a
penny. All the late Sir Nathaniets
property was capitalized and left IN
the hands of trustees until Hilarys
death, when it would be divided among
the eleven other sons and daughters.
Meanwhile they were not 10 have
penny apiece. And by the terms Of the
will. nobody could raise penny on ex-
pectations.
Whatever may be the law In other
countries, such a will must stand in
England. 1t cannot be upset there. The
dead hand can choke you there. And
this means that Hilary, by continuing
to live, kept his brothers and sisters
(his mother died six months after her
cheerful hushand) In poverty, on the
very edge of starvation. AS humans
they were useless excepting TO them
selves, these eleven sisters and broth
ers. They were without character, abil-
ity, any faculty Of taking care Of them
selves. Never a day passed that one,
two, half dozen of them, did not beg
from Hilary. He could not support
eleven persons, much less any hus-
bands, wives or children they might
have. His drawing and painting en-
abled him to support himself. BY run
ming up debts he could manage to keep
the army OF relatives alive. There was
the sin of the dead hand. There was
also the sin OF sacrificing Hilary. OF
course, after a while. Hilary broke
down, drank more than was good for
him, end determined TO slip out Of life
so that the eleven and their appendages
might have access TO the paternai
fortune. Every one of the eleven was
bound to go to the devil with the fort
une But what Of thatH They starved
while Hilary lived. Blood is thicker
than water" and so on.
In the depths of his blues Hilary has
visitor, an angry man, who has a
town fiat on the floor below. The
angry man is the proprietor of stores, y
a huge draper, haberdashery, or, in the
T. S. A., drygoods establishment. He
is rich, jolly, with a wonderful laugh.
He is also what VIII Grain, NJ. p. calls
an evil liver. He Is David Llewellyn

Davids comes to pour his wrath on
Hilary, who, In a spree the night be-
fore, has damaged the ceiling Of the
nat below and kept the J. p. wakeful.
When Davids arrives Hilary is finger
ing a revolver. Perhaps, instead Of
himself, this will be the right man to
kill, thinks ne. But the two men strike
up a friendship. and Davids goes out TO

Tyler, after a pause. They are not about

Davids. Hilary, who had nothing to
do with II, takes the killing upon him
self He Is tried, convicted and sem
fenced to execution.
Macmillan is tried. too, but acquit-
ted. His testimony convicts his broth
er. And the Cults eleven, whatever
their regret for murder, and for exc
cutions in the family, leap at the chance
for getting their fathers fortune, and
for lifting themselves above destitu-
ton and imminent death. But on the
day before the date for the execution
Hilarys sentence is committed 10 penal
servitude for life! Could the satire Of
the gods go further?
Jim Benziger, a quiet and delightful
person, has been watchful all the while.
He gets the truth from the wretched
Macmillan, and secures Hilary's free
dom. But Macmillan, having been
tried for murder and acquitted, cannot
under English law be tried again for
the same crime. Scot free he goes, re-
turning 20 Hilary with new tales OF
woe Hilary will have none Of him,
And the other ten must look TO them
selves. Hilary has done his duty, paid
his price, learned his lesson, has earned
the risht TO live, has had strong
thoughts in prison. He can't do God
work: he must do his own. II is Gods
duty TO care for the parasitic eleven
While Shose helpless, characterless
creatures live they stand in humanitys
way, numbering the earth. But they
speak through the deplorable Max

sells a picture, and provides for them
for a year or two longer. or course
you see that he will provide for them
as long as they live. and thus continue

ALL-STAR FIELDING
INTERNATIONAL TEAM

International League fielding aver
ages, s,released for publication by Presi-
dent Edward c. Barrow's official stat
istician today, prove conclusiveiy
that Harry Swacina was the most
valuable player in the league for gem
eral consistency and stellar work in
all departments. The big Bohemian,
who raped out more hits and drove
in more runs than any other indi-
vidual in the league, stands out pre-
eminently in the fielding averages
with a grand mark of $3.50 for 151
games, making nearly 200 more put
outs than Tim Jordan and over 800
more killings than Butch Schmidt, of
the Orioles, who had the same mark,
$3.50.
Swacina's wonderful fielding aver
age means that he accepted SO
chances out of every 100 which came
Ii way The larger number of put
outs he has to his credit shows posi-
lively, too, that he was one of the
best first sackers in the league at
covering ground.
Newark had the honor of having
two men lead in different fielding
positions. Harry Smith, who acted
as captain and will manage the
Tigers next season. was the leagues
best catcher. Strangely enough, Bill
Bergen, who was with the Tigers al
the start of the season, was next on
the list McCarty was fourth high
among the regulars. Thus Newark al
the start of the season had three OF
the best catchers in the league in
Smith, Bergen and McCarty.
Jakey Atz. at second base for the
Grays, set a pace that none of the
other middle sackers equalled, .but
Newark was well taken care of at the
keystone sack, both kirkpatrick and

only six points separated the pair,

vision of holiday dances of a public
or semi public character during the
Christmas and New Year season. The
supervision will apply more particu-

committee declares, "are more likely
to degenerate into unbridled orgies
than other dances 4
Members of the committee, appoint

that there was a Shocking laxity in
conduct" The committee will later

than any other player who covered

three hundred assists and more than
two hundred put-outs. Though Bues
played in more games and had q
better average by few points, Eddie
accepted more chances, and as for
outshining Bradley in this respect
Eddie was clearly the best third
baseman in the league, though the
percentage column does not show it.
The records in the other columns
leave no room for doubt about that
fact
Conroy, of Rochester, led the left
fielders. with Billy Zimmerman sixth
among the regulars. Many Of zlm-

long throws, which bounded badly
to the plate. Zimmerman has a great
arm and does not hesitate to uss It.
On two or three occasions long
throws which were aimed accurately

fielders' heads SO that base runners
profted an extra base. These errors
helped to hurt zimmerman's record.
