lavishing affection upon him. hoping
great things for him, and suddenly all
these hopes were swept away and In
their place he must needs forge for
himself solitary grim hope OF
saving the boy from the disgrace of .
murderer's death.
Gen. Hams Pathetic Figure.
Another heroic figure-heroic be-
cause Of the way it stood firm in the
tempest Of tragedy swept about IT.
was that of Gen. Peter c. Hams. "a

Thornton Hams. When Capt. Hams
killed the man he believed had wreck

were accused of conspiring together to
commit murder, the old fathers fight.
ing blood rose and he turned like an
old lion to defend his cubs. In his
eyes his sons deed was justified. This
point Of view was shared by large
number Of people. women as well as
men. That he saved his sons from
the grip Of the law was triumph for
him, but the triumph only attenuated
the grief that the killing had laid upon
him.
So It was with gallant old Gen. Mol
ineux. He, however. was spared the
grim horror Of knowledge Of sons
guilt, for he firmly believed In Rol-
and's innocence Of the murder. and
his fight for the youths acquittal was
urged on not only by affection but by
confidence in the triumph Of Justice.
Another father who was buoyed up
to the last by faith in his boys limo

Charles was put to death for killing
Mabel Page. To tie very last he was
firm in this faith. He Kept up the
fight to prove bis son innocent right to
the hour Of execution, and In one Of
his petitions to the governor for elem

tragedy of tho parent whose son 10

Such a case 40 this was that OF
Henry Clay Beattie. the Richmond

with which the breaking Of King Da'
vid's heart was registered for all time
when they brought him word Of the
death Of his erring son Absalom.
Deal gently with the young man"
the old king had said to the soldiers
he sent out to capture the rebellious
youth. And when divine Justice cut
him of in his sins. David cried. "Oh!
Absalom, my son. my SOM"
Through the ages this cry has rung.
It has burst from the heart of almost
every father whose son has commit
ted crime.
Much Is written and said about the
weeping mother of the son who goes
wrong-a figure full Of pathos that
obtrudes itself forcibly. often over
shadowing the equally pathetic figure
of the father Of the prisoner, for .

Fathers Grief Worse.
A mothers grief differs from . f.

overwhelming evidence. can never
believe her son to be guilty. Thus
her passionate tears are those of 10
bellion against injustice to one who
