The Real Reason.

To the Editor Of The Times:
Very much has been written and
printed lately about the white slave
traffic; about delinquent young wo-
men; about the causes, such as low
wages. the tyranny Of employers, the
impossibility to live on the wages
earned in the great department stores,
and all these things are urged as the
reasons for young women going astray
In our large cities.
The sad case OF Belle Barry has
brought forcibly to mind two things
One is there are lecherous men al.
ways ready to make victims of any
and all young women over whom they
may exercise a baleful influence. Tho
other Is, that there are professional
villains who are all too ready to help
tout OF trouble" so long as they can
escape detection. and even II they are
detected and sent to states prison,
they wriggle out upon some tech
nicality and are permitted to carry
forward their nefarious business. But
1t seems to the writer, there Is one
cause that is very potent In the down
fall of young women, that has 50 far
in the discussion been quite over
looked or forgotten, and that cause Is
the fearful lack of home training for
both young men and young women. For
several years 1t was the privilege-a
great and instructive privilege, Of the

to the girls at the Industrial Home
at Adrian. We became intimately ac-
quainted with hundreds of these un-
fortunate girls. They were quite
willing to give us their confidence and
to speak freely of the causes that led
to their ruin. What were these
causes? In almost every case, those
girls would confess that they had had
absolutely no home training. Often
they were children OF incorporate
fathers, and ignorant or selfish or i'm
moral mothers. They were allowed to
frequent the streets at night as they
| pleased. They were never shown the
pitfalls that lie in the way of all.
Our working girls do not so much
neai higher wages as they need high
err ideals of life. They do not so much
need fine clothing as they need fine
| perceptions of the worth of virtue and
modesty.
What we need Is more intelligent
and competent motherhood and a
more sober and pure fatherhood. With
| these will come better condition OF
things all round

PAGES between them the pursued man
suddenly wheeled. A revolver flashed
and the pursuer with muttered curse
fell headlong in the path. The hunted
man turned and, with headlong speed,
plunged down the path.
At the revolver shot Davis had
leaped forward, and, needless to say,
Dodds and | were not far behind him.
Fast as the fugitive was vanishing Da-
Wis was even faster. With the move

in his capture, l saw the man ahead

With overwhelming dismay 1t came
to me that i had shot the woman /

there. My whole body seemed turned
to stone. My arms hung helpless at
my sides. My legs refused to move
My mouth was fever-dry and my
tongue lay lifeless. Yet my vision,
recall, seemed clear and strong, pene-
trating the darkness as IL II had been

There was no answer. Almost | had

At the sound, life came again into

ground and sprang after him. l found
him bending over an unconscious form
on the ground. Just as l reached the
spot he had lighted match. He lift

parently lifeless was indeed my Lou

Together we lifted her and bore her

where we laid her on the ground. Joy
surged in my heart as | saw and heard
that she was still breathing, joy that
was not even abated when / saw by
the window light that my companion
was none other than Hugh Crandall.
But just then all other thoughts
were driven out of my head by the
sight of thin stream of blood trick
ling down the sleeve OF Louise's auto
mobile coat.

cried, all my anguish coming back
anew.
With trembling hands helped Gran
dali cut away her sleeve, dreading all
the time to see and know the worst.
Its only scratch" said Crandall,
with sigh of relief.
Across her rounded arm was red
dening cash where the bullet had cut
its way through the tender flesh.
While my head told me that Crandall
was right, that it was only flesh
wound and not in the least dangerous,
in my heart ] still felt little better
than a murderer Three inches to the
right, and the bullet from my revolver
would have stilled her heart for ever.
She opened her eyes and stared at
US in a puzzled way.

saw the three of us grouped under the
window.
"A flesh wound, not at all danger

How about your" asked Davis.
"He didn't hit me-" 'Crandall an
swered with a short laugh. Il tumbled
over the bucket Of milk he was carry

Didn't you get him?"

''He ran plump over the edge Of a

thud of his body on the rocks below.
He must have been instantly killed.
Well get the body in the morning. He

in the window of the hut.
