CHAPTER V.
Tommy North.


Tommy North, after the first day.
was pawn in this game-a captured
pawn, laid to one side of the board.
The police held him, it is true, until
after the coronerS verdict; then, with
out apology, the turnkey cast him
loose. His first concern was for his
mother in the village of White Horse.
Connecticut. Only by false assur-
ances and by the assistance of an
aunt, who hid the newspapers from
her, did he succeed in keeping her
away from New York. He hurried
TO her, and in two days Modified her
anger-not at his being accused of
murder, but at his being drunk. He
returned to find his job gone. Tommy
North took such catastrophies more
philosophically than most. He had
filled and lost a dozen jobs in three
years Of New York. Easy come, easy
go was his motto-as he told Ro-
sale lie Grange when he called to
take away his possessions, removed by
her from the Moore house.
I'D like to stay" he told her, "but
want to get the taste Of this thing
out of my mouth" He sat down on
his trunk and looked depression. And
de preston, somehow, rested i'll upon
that frank freckled countenance with
its shock of unruly red hair
Wouldn't seem so bad if you didn't
have all the murder company here
But I'm sensitive, / guess. I've lost
my job on account of this. I'm a
marked man."
Nov look a-here, Mr.. North" said
Rosalie, carefully folding one of his
coats. You don't never want to say
that. People amt marked unless they
mark themselves. I've seen the lit
tlest things in the world just hammer
people through the floor, and I've seen
the biggest scandals lived clean down
It's all in the way you face it. If
you're afarid, and act like you're
afraid, then you're gone. Just treat
it like it hadn't happened. That's the
way"
ut wouldn't have ruined my young
reputation entirely" pursued Tommy
North. giving way to his depression
now that he had a sympathetic lis
tener. IF / hadn't INDUCED in a little
extra illumination that night. And
take it from me, on the word of a vol
unteer fireman, from Alpine. Mich.
Pioncsr Hose, No. 3, every single
burner was going when 1 got home
People would sympathiZe with me for
being arrested, now that it's proved
that had nothing to do with the case
But being drunk is different-oh, very
different"
Tell me-" said Rosalie pausing
from folding coats and regarding him
arms akimbo. do you really like the
stuff"
Tommy North. unaccustomed to
self-analysis. turned this over in his
mind for several seconds.

ONE DAY A KINGS SON CAME
TO VISIT THE VILLAGEi
When he heard the bell peal out
the first night he asked the villagers
wheer ii was and who rang it.
I'VE do not know" they said. I'VE
have looked long and faithfully, by
day and by night. But we have never
been able to find it."
Il will find it," said the kings son.
Indeed, we shall be happy if you
can" answered the villagers.
So he started forth one morning
just as the sun peeped over the high
hilltops. He took with him THREE
CHILDREN!
why do you take children with
you?" asked the villagers, in surprise.
Because. my dear people" he said,
the good spirits must help us in this
quest, and they love the children be-
cause the children nearly always love
them and believe in them"
So the children went with the king S
son in search of the great bell!
First they came to the forest where
the Owl sat by the hollow of the big
tree. He listened totheir story. He
heard them say they were looking for
the bell. But he only blinked again;
cooked his head on one side again and
looked knowingly into the hollow of
The big tree.
Not there" said the kings son,
after examining the hole in the tree.
THE Owl is silent because he does not
want to show his ignorance. 1t is

SIGNIFICANCE OF LABOR DAY.

This is the day set apart for the
exaltation of manual labor. 1t should
be broad enough TO comprehend all
labor. Tit touch Of mutual interest
would make the whole world akin.
This is a wori5aday world The
much touted idle rich are so few they
need not be considered. The neces-
sity for labor is so general it may be
said In a broad way that everybody
works.
Out of the sweat of its brow the
world earns its bread. Those who
have accumulated have not been idle,
either in the acquisition or retention
OF what they have. Riches ere elu-
sive and fleeting 1t is only by the
most arduous effort that they are OBJ
tanned and kept. Those who have
not provided against the morrow
must continue 70 labor for the sub
sistence Of the day.
There IS no more fallacious idea
than that which gives any particular
class sole credit for the construction.
productive labors of the world. There
is no folly so great as that which
would antagonize one class agsinst
another.
The world must have those who
can conceive and direct as well as
those who execute. Conception, d.
rection. capital and execution are CO.
essential TO the progress, uplifting and
welfare Of mankind.
No man can say Of any great work.
"I dis this" Thousands Of invisible
hands have been employed TO create
a condition that made it possible. No
class can say. 1--WE have done this !"
for without all the classes it would
have been impossible.
The laboring man sweats ct his
task because his labor is physical
but he is putting forth no more en-
ergy than the man at the desk whose
perspiration is mental The hand
and the brain unite in doing thinss
that are made possible by circum-
stances or capital.
Earning bread by the sweat of the
brow has in these days crystallized
into a figure Of speech. 1t applies
no more 10 the laborer in the trench
than to the preacher in the pulpit.
IN modern phraseology il simply
means that II a man would have he
must work.
Labor day should be a national hol-

Inc issues are drawn, the tickets
are in the field, the contenders await
the opening Of the polls
The electorate has two months in
which TO dispel any doubts that may
have arisen or to - determine any
questions that may remain unsettled.
1t is the privilege as well as the
duty Of every citizen to conscientious
~ vote according to the dictates Of
his own judgment in the coming
election. The law makes it certain
he can do so. the public welfare de-
mands that he does.
The facts and conditions are be-
fore him. His intelligence and con-
science must guide him in making a
proper use Of his prerogative.
The democratic party has come into
this campaign in a straightforward.
elegitimate way. It's primary was held
in accordance with the primary law,
the modern devices for recording the
votes OF citizens were placed at their
service, the conditions were openly
and frankly announced, and full
opportunity was given all who so de-
SlItu 10 fole LoI lltelI LdFoIlltS aiming
them.
No dirty politics was played. Each
candidate had an equal and fair
chance. In unprecedented numbers
the voters Of the city designated their
individual choices. The ticket nom
mated Is as fully representative of
the citizenship Of South Bend as was
20 Of
city.
How striking the contrast between
this exercise of the right of suffrage
and that incident to the presentment
and nomination Of the candidates on
the so-cslled citizens ticket!
The story Of that unhappy enter
prise is familiar. Conceived in selfish
ness and chicanery. it has met the
fate deservedly due it. Honest, sin
cere men were used as stoolpigeons to
conceal if possible the real purpose
o fthe movement. At the last mo-
ment. thinly disguised, the plans OF
the conspirators were consummated,
in part, at least.
Held back until almost the last le-
umvirate was sprung upon the fol-
lowers of the movement. Even with
this precautiOn it was necessary to
resort to the practices of the lowest
order Of politicians to nominate him.
Honest men, sincere in their faith
in the genuineness of the so-caIed
citizens movement, could De no long
er deceived. Their eyes were opened
TO the hollowness of pretens and the
shallowness Of the pretexts of their
leaders. There was but one thing
for them to do. They washed their
hands of the whole disgraceful af
fair.
Members of the democratic party
may from this contrast take addition
al pride in the ticket an overwhelm-
ing majority of them have nominated.
The nominees are in every way worthy
of their united and loyal support.

AMERICANS IN MExICo.

The number of Americans resident
in Mexico, IS revealed by press re-
ports. is astonishing until the magni-
tude Of American interests in the dis
tressed republic is considered.
These interests relate principally to
mining and planting industries.
American capital has gone into Next
co in enormous quantities, attracted
by the richness of the mineral de-
posts and the fertility Of the soil.
This is particularly true of the north
ern states whose convenience as we'll
as productiveness have tempted
American capitalists.
AS a consequence of the unreliable
ity of Mexican labor thousands of
Americans have been imported to
work in the mines and on the planta-
tions, and it is the safety and welfare
Of these people that has aroused the
solicitude of Pres. Wilson and the
state department.
In some istances tho mining and
plantation companies have been
strong enough to guard their prop
erty and workmen and continue oper-
atiOns, but as a rule their business is
demoralized and their property in
Jeopardy.
Mexico owes much TO American en-
terprise and capital for the develop
ment of the country. At the same
time jealousies have been created
which have famed the flame of dis
like which naturally exists between
Americans and Mexicans.
The American government has a
delicate and difficult task to perform
to protect these people and their in
terests. 1t has come TO the point of
advising and assisting Americans to
leave Mexico and abandon their prop
erty, for the time at least.
