tuous and the ache in her heart too
acute.
She had lost her engagement ring
and now Warren was leaving her to
go abroad. The fear that he was
growing farther from her, which was
always in the background Of Helen's
thoughts, was stronger than ever.
Toward dawn the air grew chill and
damp, but still she sat there. Sud
denly there was the creaking sound
of a step, then the bedroom door
opened and Warren came out.
Hello, what're you doing here?'
Nothing, dear" starting up. II
just couldn't sleep"
He touched the button by the door
and switched on the light. Perhaps
there was something in her white
drawn face as she shrank blinking
| from the sudden glare that touched
him. for he said, with unaccustOmed
gentleness:
You'd better come back to bed
you'll catch cold" He felt her arm
through her thin nightgown. why,
| you're chilled through! How long
have you been out here? What's this
| your sleeves all wet!"
She tried to draw away, but he
| held her.
You've been sitting there crying
half the night-that it?" The words
were sharp, but the voice was, fof
Warren, strangely gentle. so that's
the way you act when you think I'm
going away for a few weeks. Well
you are a little fool! Now, none of
that!"
Helen had turned suddenly and hid
her face in his shoulder, her slender
body quivering with soundless sobs.
He switched out the light again, and
for a moment stood awkwardly
smoothing her hair.
Now. thatll do You've cried
enough for one night. Come on back
to bed and get some sleep or you'll
be sick-then you can't go at all"
Through a film of tears. Helen
looked up. Only the light from the
street lit the room, but he could see
her eager. quivering wistfulness, and
for once 1t did not irritate him.
All right, Kitten, l guess We car
fix it for you TO 60 Now, come on
to bed and don't think any more about
It,"
But, dear-the expense!" faltered
Helen, who, woman like, now that she
had her hearts desire, felt that per-
haps she could put it from her. You

for you-maybe l shouldn't go, after

Now. you leave the expense to me.

her, and so find out about her mother
At last she fell sick and they did
come, and when they knew her secret
they refused to have anything TO do
with her when she went back to
work She was also engaged to be
married to a worthy young man. but
when she revealed to him how her
mother lived he broke off the match
because he was not willing to marry
into such a family.
These girls both say that they have
chung to their mothers, trying to hold
them up, and hoping that love for
them would make the erring women
repent and lead better lives, but they
have become discouraged, they see
their own lives being wasted and
ruined, and they want to know what
is the right thing for them to do.
My advice would be to get up and
go so far away from home that the
shadow of their mothers shame could
not fall across their lives, and to
where they will have a chance to be
judged on their own merits instead
of being condemned for the faults of
their DaTeOts

Owe a Debt.

Children owe a debt to their pa
rents, but it is so very little in COM
parison with the debt that parents
owe their children that 1t is not to
be considered in a case like this.
More than that, when the parents
misbehave themselves they forfeit
their rights to their children's consid-
Grafton.
A mother who has become a degrad-
ed sot, and who loves liquor better
than she does her children, certainly
has no claim upon the affections and
duty of the daughter she disgraces.
The girl can do her no good by stay
ing with her and being dragged down
herself into the pit the mother has
digged with her weakness, and II she
is wise she will steal her heart
against maudlin pity for her moth
er, and go and lead her own life.
and get what happiness she can out
Of it, Independent of her mother.
Nor is there any reason why the
girl, whose mother has chosen the
broad road, should keep her mother
company If the mother refuses to
lead a decent life her daughter is Just
as much justified in declining to asso-
ciate with her as she would with any
other woman of ill-repute. As long
as she stays with her mother her
garments will be despatched with
mud, and so the sooner she gets away
from her environment the better for
her.
The prodigal son or daughter has
an amending claim on the forgiveness
and help of the parents, because
whatever he or sue is the parents are
responsible for, but the children are
not responsible for their prodigal
parents and owe them nothing.

By DOROTHY DIX.

ONE of the hardest laws of life is
I that the sins Of the parents are
visited upon the children. This
has been true from the days Of Adam
down. but we are only just now be-
ginning to be enlightened enough to
have some conscience about making
our children pay our debts to nature,
and to realize that we have no right
to pass on our physical, mental and
moral Affections to another genera
ton.
The crime of crimes is for diseased
parents to bring into the world a
child that is doomed to suffering and
sickness, and to weakness and fail
ure before ever it is born, or one in
whose veins runs the tainted bloo3
that leads almost inevitably to the
prison or the insane asylum. BY
the side of that murder Is a small
matter. To give life is just as serious
matter as to take it, and often far
crueler because those who are killed
have only an instants pain, whereas
the unfit must go through weary
years of an existence that is a per-
petual torture.
The Consequences.
The sins Of the parents are visited
on the children morally just as much
as they are physically. and there can
be no stronger incentive for people to
live decent lives than that their chill
dren must reap as they have sowa
1t is the parents who open or shut
the doors of opportunity to their chill
dren. The son and daughter of the
father and mother who are honored
and respected find that the world is,
at least, willing to give them their
chance, while the children of the
drunkard, the thief or the woman
whose name is on the lips of scan
dal are handicapped at every turn
and condemned before they have
had a chance to prove themselves.
A boy may be as honest as the day,
but like father like SON. says the
merchant to himself, II the father
has been dishonest, and so he refuses
to give the youth a place IN his store
The girl may be as pure as a lily, but
If her mother has the reputation Of
being a light woman. shes her
mothers daughter" says the young
man in his thought, and he looks
elsewhere for a wife.
The children are punished for the
sins of the parents. We may think
this unjust, but 1t is one of the in
exorable laws Of fate that there is no
way to avoid.

thetic letters from two young bust

in the pillow so the sound OF her
sobbing would not reach him.
There had been hardly an hour in
the last week since she had lost her
ring that she had not looked for It
somewhere, and always with that sick
feeling of dread that If she did not find
1t, Il would in some way mean some
estrangement between Warren and

think of what the days and nights

said last night that one public hearing
would be enough to provide the com

would need to guide II in framing a

According to sentiment expressed at
the meeting Of the special committee
last week. it will proceed without de
lay to the task Of drafting an annex

mltted by the members that there has
been more delay than necessary in get

ment appears to favor early action.
Chairman Powers was absent from
the city yesterday, and it was not pos
sible to fix the date of the next meet
ing of the committee. IT will probably

that an annexation ordinance will be
submitted by the committee to the next
