The owner of the store returned to
his labors with a new zest, for the
meeting with his son had put him In
high spirits. Perhaps it might have
been better for Mary Turner had she
come to him just then, while he was
yet in this softened mood. But fate
had ordained that other events should
restore him to his usual harder self
before their interview. Smithson en-
tered with an expression of discom-
future on his rather vacuous coun-
tenance. He walked almost nimbly to
the desk and spoke with evident dis
tress as his employer looked up inter
negatively. II.

"The less reason, then, for her being
a thief" Glider grumbled in his heav-
lest voice.
"And perhaps the less reason for be-
lieving her to be a thief" the lawyer
retorted suavely. He paused for
moment. then went on. There was a
tone Of sincere determination in his
voice. "Just before the judge imposed
sentence he asked her If she had any
thing to say. You know. it's just a
usual form-a thing that rarely means
much of anything. But this case was
different, let me tell you. She sur
prised US all by answering at once that
she had. It's really pity. Glider. that

gravely. ''She merely told us how her
father died when she was sixteen years
old. She was compelled after that to
earn her own living Then she told
how she had worked for you for Eve
years steadily without there ever be-
ing single thing against her. She
said, too, that she had never seen the
things found in her locker. And she
said more than that. She asked the
Judge II he himself understood what 1t
means for a girl to be sentenced to
prison for something she hadn't done.
Somehow, Glider; the way she talked

JOSEPH FIRST IN
LIFE INSURANCE
Mrs. Potiphar's Affinity, Says
Stills, Real Father of
R11SineSs
Business.

The father of the life insurance bus
mess. according to Nell u. Sills, pres
ident of the National Association of
Life Underwriters, was none other
than Joseph of Biblical fame, who, a
good many centuries ago arranged and
managed the first great life insurance
company. when during tho seven
years of plenty he saved corn for
the seven years of want
Mr.. Sills spoke TO the students OF
John Marshall High School yesterday
morning on the history and magni-
tude of the business OF insuring life.
His lecture was couched in popular
language and gave his young listeners
an interesting sketch of The business
from the time the first modern com
pany was founded in London in 1862,
to the present day.
Modern industry. he said. has
brought with it an increasing respect
for the value Of human life. In the
beginning. he said, the gambler was
the man who took the life insurance
policy. but now insurance has become
so stable that the man who refuses to
take it is really the one who is
gambling with human life.
The 240 legal reserve companies in
this country. said Mr.. Stills had assets
last year of more than S4.16i .OO0,00
which is about four times the amount
OF the national debt. The companies
paid out last year S579,000.000. All
branches Of insurance combined. he
said, exceed every financial activity
except that of the combined railroads.
Early life insurance companies. it
appears. had a wholesome dread OF
the precariousness of life in cities. The
same fear extended TO life in the
South. which. 1t seems. was regarded
by cultured New England as a semi
barbarous land.
1.-The first policy issued by one Of
these earlier companies said Mr..
Sills. provided for an extra yearly
charge in the event OF the assured
moving to the city of Washington, or
any town or city containing $4,000 In
habitants, and the policy, was null and
void IL without this consent of the
company the assured Travelled south
