 Sir:-It Is wrong to hang Mrs. Wakefield To a woman the sex life plays a vastly larger party than to a. man Who knows the conditions in the Wakefield home, or what evils this woman suffered. or what accommodating injuries she sustained?
 Crimes of violence do not usually originate in the woman's mind, Mrs. Macbeth to the contrary notwith- standing. The presumption in such a ease as this Is ever strong that the woman is overborne by the counsel of the man.
 z With what patience do women bear the wrongs inflicted in the home by ment Women endure that which yvouId move men to desertion, or vio- 3ence or murder even- If occasionally d woman is guilty of the greater crime, she should be treated sub- eordinate to the man, and her punish ment should not be death.

woman's life as more necessary. In war, on the sinking ship in the be- sieged city, the natural instinct Of men is to put their women in the place of least danger. Nature may suffer the loss of her males and the race may not suffer, but if the propor- ton of females becomes less, the race may diminish. Not today, perhaps, nor tomorrow, but for a thousand years. The point I make is that na- ture must maintain in the race for the protection of the species the desire to protect the life of the female, as more necessary to the race.
 Whatever the motive, the natural feeling in this state is against, the execution of a woman. Mrs. Wake fields sentence should be commuted q to life Imprisonment.

than I, and as he left home as soon
as he was 81 to manage his fathers

his visits with great pleasure"
A strange expression had come into
Mrs. de Peyster's face and suddenly
she asked: rs your name Tom?'
Yes he exclaimed. But how did
you guess?"
Il don't know" she replied II just

He went on:
Jack was a splendid fellow. You
would have liked him. Mrs. de Peys-
ter l do not know If you would
have thought him handsome. but 1t
was impossible not to feel his strength
when together with him. You always
felt that some one was near who
cared for you. His mind was so per-
fectly balanced, and he had a host
of friends.

NM RS. RUTGER DE PEYSTER was
lVl sitting in her deck chair looking
at the passengers sauntering
back and forth on the promenade
deck, and CLEAN of interest came
into her eyes when young Mr.. Oswald
came up to her, bedding her good
morning" in his pleasant voice. and
asked permission to sit down in
Colonel de Peyster's chair until he
came on deck.
The jealous glances of his fellow
passengers had told Oswald that it
was an unusual honor when Mrs de
Peyster a couple of days before had
asked him to walk couple of turns
around the deck with her She really
felt more than a mere passing inter
est in him. and she had meant what
she said when she told him it would
be pleasure to her If she could be
of any service to him in New York.
1t was characteristic of Mrs. de
Peyster that, while nobody could
boast of ever having penetrated her
shell of reserve. she understood how
to inspire others to tell her every
thing about themselves. A lady friend
had once said of her: Mrs. de Pey-
ster knows my inmost soul, but
know absolutely no more about her
than anybody else does, but I know
this-that any secret you tell her is
absolutely safe"
STORY

"Do you know, Mrs de Peyster
that ever since yesterday | have felt
that there is something / must tell
you, and last night when | saw the
ring of splendid sapphires you were
wearing al dinner 1 felt 1t to be an
