 He sat him down with fountain pen, and of paper q ream or two. and started story of three bad men who ran a terrible coiner's den, ard committed a murder now and then. in the style that such fellows do.
 He threw in a sweet little love affair. a ghost and a smuggier's cave; a moated grange and a missing heir. a lunatic with a vacant stare a wicked-eyed wom- an with red gold hair. who worshiped the hero brave.
 But alas that the story went astray through an overwealth of crimes, for in chapter three. tis sad 10 say. the three bad men did cruelty slay the hero bold in a different way. no less than seven times

may have been publicly united in bonds. I hold for this reason, Miss Addams though having the right to her personal convictions has not the right to utilize the influence of the great social better ment work with which she has been so widely associated for the benefit of polit- ical parties. She must by her action seem to the public to give with her name the weight of the influence of the work with which she has been connected and this believe neither she nor any one else has moral right to do. They give with their names what is not theirs to give"
 Bar Harbor. Me, August 14.-AIiss Addams, who is here visiting, authorized the following tonight after learning of the statement of Miss Boardman.
 "I quite agree with much of which Miss Mabel Boardman says concerning Presi- dent Taft. l have never criticised his administration. Nevertheless claim the light as an individual to sit as a dele- gate in a convention whose platform em- bodies the measures for which I have worked for many years.
 T imagine Miss Boardman refers to Hull House when she says that I am using unfairly the influence of an institu- tlon, but those who know Hull House realize that it has little value 70 the com- munty save as it mas been able to eX- press certain principles and thus it has always stood for freedom of speech. Much of my time has been given to the preven- ton Of child labor. to bettering the con dition of working girls. to securing suf- frage for women and similar causes.
 'eThey are now taken up systematically by the progressive party. It seems to me quite as consistent that I should advo- cate them there as that I should have appeared before congressional commit tees. In doing this I have followed my best judgment and conscience and cannot agree with Miss Boardman that I have violated any obligation to Hull House or any other associations with which I may be connected"
