MASTER Mind editor
HAD STUPENDOUS TASK
Examination of Large Number of Es-
says Submitted Will Be Com
pleted Today.
TO NAME WINNERS TOMORROW

Owing T. the great number OF ESSAYS
submitted, the judge of the Master
Mind" contest found at a late hour last
night he could not complete the eNamina-
ton and final selection of the prize win
ming essays, therefore the names of the
successful contestants, who have written
essays on Lucene the girl in The Mas
ter Mind" at the Columbia Theater. will
be announced in The Washington Herald
tomorrow morning. BY the time the
winners see their names in the paper the
prizes will have been sent to them in
checks of The Herald, 50 that they may
be able TO enjoy their Saturday matinee
or shopping with more than usual pleas
IRE.
The judge found the task to be greater
than at first expected. Ordinarily,
ii would seem that the merits of an essay
could be judged speedily. Not so, how
ever, with The Master Mind" essays.
To arrive at an accurate decision on the
work OF most Of them requires consider
able patient toll and the keenest discrimi-
nation. There are many essays which,
in point Of excellence are nearly alike,
and this made the labor of the Judge
more difficult.
Scores and scores of the essayists in
sist that Lucene committed a wrong in
concealing before her marriage to the
estimable and hgh-minded Wainwright
the fact that she was a crime-convicted
woman. On the other hand, the Judges
were inundated with contributions argu-
ing that the much-troubled girl did pre-
cisely what she ought to have done. 1t
is the treatment Of these two sides which
the judge has had mainly to consider.
All sorts of views have been submit
ted. Some have written with passionate
hatred of Lucene as a girl and wife.
Some have written quite as bitterly of
her frailties, while a number, also dis
cOursing upon her weaknesses, throw
around her a broad and beautiful mantle
of charity. But, laborious as the work
of the judge has been, it has, neverthe-
less, been pleasure to read the essays,
And what shall be said of the play of
The Master Mind" which will close
its weeks engagement at the Columbia
tomorrow night? That one incident in
1.-THE great moral lesson which Lucene's
conduct presents, has been discussed in
city, town, and country. 1t has caused
thousands of men and women to think
and say what they would do if they had
been in Lucene's place. II has opened up
a new path, so to speak, which even the
sternest moralist will do well to ponder
over, even If he does not tread.

II. as it often happens. il Is nothing
worse than nagging worry over some

isn't it a pity not to drive that worry

Because there are trOunres ahead that

Yet most Of us have so little control
over our minds that We let things bother
Us at the time of happening and go on
bOthernG forever and forever. In the
midst Of work, when we are trying TO do
our best. the wearing memories or wor-
ries or fears crowd down upon US and
we let them stay and Cypress until
through sheer weariness We drive them
away. but not 50 perSistently that they
stay for all time. If We would-and We
could if We tried hard enough-shut the
noor in their face when they come knock
Ing for entrance, and deliberately say
no every time they would grow dis
Couraeed after a while and sink into for

SHUT THE DOOR In
FACE OF THE PAST
There Are Troubles Enough Ahead
Without Burdening Our Minds with
Those that Are Done With.
By FRANCES SHAFFER

Doubtless there are wise folk in the
world who know how to drive away
the nagging little worries that some
times grip so long and hard that if
one happens to be a woman she feels
like letting the foodgates open and
weakly crying it out. whether she
yields or not; and if a maxwell, it
needs a man to tell exactly how he
feels.
But it is fairly certain that there
comes with the years when it seems
are times in the lives of all who have
had our share of the mixture that
as if there was something evil hang
ing over US. something We are not strong
enough to drive away.
Perhaps it comes at the end of a
hurrisome, worrisome day, when the
work is all over, the curtains drawn
and We sit down to drift or to think
And when the feeling comes stealing over
US, feeling of something wrong, and
We are half worried. half afraid, we
try to figure it out and learn what the
trouble is. We say TO ourselves that
nothing has happened. nothing gives
promise of dropping down upon US.
1t is not a well-defined worry, not a
tangible fear, and it resembles sorrow
only as the mist resembles the rain"
But what is it that forbiddngly stands
back of the feeling of unrest?
Sometimes we follow it TO its hiding
place, and we find, back in the far cor
hers OF the mind, seemingly beyond our
reach. the memory of a miserable little
something that happened earlier in the
day. something that will not let go its
hold. Or possibly ii is a bigger some
thing, a genuine hurt or a real sorrow
that sits there enthroned and comes out
UnconsCiouslv when the day is done"
and the duties are folded away. For
The feeling OF sadness" of worry, of
fear or OF sorrow does come upon us
without announcing its name, without
telling why it comes
