Fascinated-but helpless before the
storm she had evoked-Kitty May
had crept close TO the two men.
Her eyes were fixed and staring. Her
fingers were fumhling with a little
lace bordered handkerchief. There
was a startled light in her widening
little foolish smile-and she was
mumbling softly-almost incoherently
and to deaf ears.

Poor little Vampire that thought

butterfly. with soiled and dropping
wings-a weak little butterfly that
might live for one day-and that had
found her brief day stormy. A but
terfiy on a rainy day-after all, that
IS a bitterly sad sight.
But Just now Kitty was erased from
the tablets Of memory and vision II
only Charles Nelson had remembered
her power For there is a poison but
terfiy-and the men who know of it

Quite as If she had never inter-

Then when you see things quite
clearly you can come back to me
all the more easily because of my
fault. And we can be them-not so
much father and son as two men who
have learned to forgive one another
who have learned TO be ashamed OF
the rotten things they have done"
He turned from the boy, hesitated
moment, and then with firm tread
walked toward the door. The time

boy must "dree his ain weird.

Rahv McLean's Birthday Party Breaks All Records

DABY Vincent Walsh McLean's $lO''
ID 600 birthday party, given the other
day at the Walsh home in Washing
ton. broke all records for gorgeous
and ingenious entertainments.
Gifts came in hundred lots, and In
hundred lots they continued to come
for several days. The greater number
are yet to be opened for the inspection
of the youthful recipient and a pair OF
secretaries will be required to get the
notes of thanks off in proper time.
The one best gift Of the whole col
lection, however, is the snow burro
which came as a gift from Mrs. Nc
Lean to her only son. The burro has
a long pedigree and shaggy coat and
a perfect disposition. He arrived sew
eral days ago, December IS, being the
natal day of Baby Vincent whose
birthday fete was brought forward a
few days to bring it in closer touch
with the Christmas season.
A giant white bull moose, white as
snow and terrifyingly natural, shares
the place of honor with the burro in
the affections of the young heir This
also was a gift from Mrs. Mclean and
its appearance for the first time Great

New Rochelle, N. Y-Capt. James
Clayton, his wife and two patrolmen'
struggling in the icy waters OF the
sound near the New Rochelle Coal &
Lumber company's dock, were saved
from drowning through the bravery
of Albert f. McGill.
Hanging from part of the pier by
his legs, McGill called to the four In
the water that he was a human lad

Swim over here" he said, and
grab my arms. Then you can get to
the pier" They followed his instruc'
tions. First Mrs. Clayton seized him.
She crawled from his arms to his
shoulders and then reached the dock
Next he rescued one Of the patrolmen
and afterward the other two men
were dragged from the water.
Captain Clayton and his wife were
walking on a plank to a coal barge
when he fell in the sound. HIS wife
called for help. She saw him sink
and when he rose she jumped In aft
er him. They we're in a perilous posi-
ton, between the coal barge that was
swinging in the tide, and the dock,
and Clayton afterward said he believ-

death.
Patrolmen Harness and Hazard

Jumped. They ran to the dock. a
ladder was extended down one side
Of the pier and the last rung OF 1t

Of rules. Simplicity. moderation, fresh
air, exercise, healthful occupation for
body and mind, avoidance OF worry
these are the things usually and prop

questions, but It is surprising how few
questions are really open in connec

Friends.

Londoo Many eminent persons, In
Guiding royalty, statesmen and men Of
letters, paused in the hurry to send
a few words of greeting to Lord
Morley congratulating him upon the
beginning of his seventy-ffth year.
For many years the Rt. Hon. John
Morley was looked upon as the sue
cessor of his old friend Gladstone
as England's most distinguished plain
citizen And since his elevation to
the peerage five years ago Lord Nor
lev has lost none Of the public es-
TEEN. In his day he held many high
Offices under liberal administrations,
and never failed to command the
highest respect even from his most
bitter political opponents. Since his
retirement from the office of secretary
of state for India two years ago Lard
Morley has devoted himself almost
wholly to literary work. AS a biog-
rapher and reviewer he is probably
without a peer in the English-speak.

Released American Tells OF HoT-
rors in Mexico.
Crowded With Thlrty-Four Others
Into Sunless Dungeon About 20
Feet Square-FinaIIy Freed
by Federal Soldiers.

ST. Louis, Mo.-Reduced from lIO
pounds to a mere shadow by a long
confinement in a Mexican dungeon, c..
w. Macatee, once a resident of Chicka-
sha, is now under the care of DR.. L.
E. Manuel, the city physician, at
Chickasha, Okla.
STOPPED, thin and sallow almost be-
yond recognition, it was hard for men
who knew him TO believe that the thin,
wasted figure is the same man of stur-
dy physique who left here some years
ago. Macatee says he went from here
to Wichita. Kan, where he joined
Mexican colony, went to Mexico and
purchased forty acres of land from
the government.
The following is Macatee's own
ptory:
u had about $3.50 in money and sew
eral hundred dollars worth Of horses,
cattle and mules when the present
Mexican revolution broke out, When.
the rebels captured Chihuahua they
seized all the American colonists and
demanded that they turn over all they
possessed to the rebel leaders. They
destroyed all we had, took our live
stock and money and marched US in
a hollow square Of soldiers to prison
In Chihuahua there are two prisons
one known as the outside prison and
the other as the inside prison.
"In company with thirty-four other
Americans l was placed in the out
side prison, where for about sixteen
months l did not see a ray Of sun
shine nor get a breath of fresh air
except that filtered into the cell by
circular pipe that reached the roof
We were thrown into prison on April
10, 1911, and we're liberated Aug. 10,
1912, when Madero's army recaptured
Chihuahua.
The cell which l shared with "a
other prisoners was possibly 20 feet
square, and during all the time we
were there the cell door was unlocked
but three times-twice to clear the
cell and once to remove the bodies of
four Of our comrades, which removal
occurred two weeks after their death.
I'VE Jared decidedly worse than
drove of hogs. and death came to my
four companions absolutely from
starvation. We could not get parti-
Gle of exercise, owing to the crowded
condition of cur cell, and eventually
put in most of our time sleeping.
I'VE did not hear the federals when
they battered down the front door OF
the prison, and the first knowledge we
had that something unusual was TAX
ing place was when Ghey battered
down the inner doors to the cell
rooms. We naturally thought that
our hour of execution had come, but
were happily mistaken Being almost
naked, we were given some clothing
and smuggled across the lines to Ell
Paso, where l stayed two weeks. 1t

attempt to open my eyes in daylight

Though I weighed 10 pounds

Has the old man a right to hve!
A medical research society in ST.
Louis recently discussed the question.
The principal speaker stated that old
men were being poisoned with a long
administered course Of indifference
neglect and filial disrespect. He be
lieved that the man who does not hon
or his father and mother cares little
for his moral obligations to them, but
he does fear that some day his friends
will find out and that he will be put in
the class in which he belongs. This
man never wishes his friends to know
that the old man who wears shabby
clothes and sleeps in the garret is his
father. When a man makes a debt the
laws Of the land enforce its payment
But no law makes the man with
money in the bank pay the debt he
owes his old and needy father. The
son should do his duty willingly If he
will not, there should be law to com
pei him.
