TOMMIE WON'T HAVE TO
WORRY FOR A WHILE
Tommie Mason, 1341 S. State
street, made it hot for himself
when he stole a stove from the
Lakeside Furniture store, 1107 S.
State street, yesterday.
Tommie's room was cold.
There was no stove in it, so he
stayed under the covers in self
defense. This worked all right
for time, but Tommie was hun
cry, and he had to getup to get
something to eat.
He shivered as he dressed, but
a brilliant thought shook its way
into his brain. He would steal
some heat. Naturally, he couldn't
go in some store, collect a can full
of heat and take it to his room.
He needed the materials to man
ufacture warmth. He Wavered a
long time between a stove, and a
candle. If he stole a stove he
would also have to steal coal and
wood. He should worry.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-01-10

The question solved itself
when Tommie passed the furni-
ture store. There was a stove in
front of the store. Tommie grab
bed it and ran. The stove was
heavy, and Tommie's progress
became slower. Max Matrofsky,
proprietor of the store, captured
Tommie without trouble.
Before Judge Hopkins in the
Clark street court Tommie told
his vie. Judge Hopkins is. a very
sympathetic man.

CHAPTER XVIII.

Gloria had not been reared without
an understanding of the various lay
ers Of society. OF those close to her
own station in life she had an intimate
and intelligent knowledge. but as she
went down the scale her acquaintance

ing more vague. The poor creatures
whom as class Little Ella now rep

and as misunderstood as would be a

she could have no real pity
Gloria had never dreamed, even
when she tried to put the worst pos
sible construction on what few things
she knew, that the world could be SO
cruel Never for an instant had she
thought that it was possible for men
whom she regarded as upright and
honorable to be engaged directly or in
directly in exploiting vice and igno-
rance. 1t had never occurred to her
that men whom she might know, some
Of them owned dreary blocks OF novels
and tenements from which high rents
were secured only because the people
who lived in them were not respect
able. Poor and honest tenants could
have paid but poor and precarious
rents.
AS little Ella told her story of the
system at Gloria's request, her voice
grew shriller and shriller as the in
dictment grew graver. She talked
rapidly, sometimes turning aside from
the direct channel of her revelation,
to explore some little eddy of a spe-
ciflc instance which made her account
a reality. Gloria could have credited
something to exaggeration had it not
been that Just at the moment she
thought the girl was beginning to
draw on her Imagination some Incl

make the whole thing CHASTITY real

Solitude of the Amur.
The Amur is not unlike all great
rivers. 1t winds and twists and
doubles upon itself In a manner that is
discouragingly common. while the
scenery is mostly fiat and uninterest-
ing. But in solitude. isolation and the
primeval glory of the forests the river
trip surpasses even the railroad jour
ney. At night as the boat, electric
lighted steam propelled and spouing

mel, makes her way down stream, it

imagines that he hears the futter of
countless startled wings as the rauc-
Gus whistle penetrates and re-echoes
through the forests. and the search

white trunks of the birch trees into SO
many ghosts.
The arrival of the boat is heralded
in the villages along our route by the

community comes down to the river

CHAPTER xv,I.-cootjcued.


Although Gloria had professed that
she had no fear about being left with
the sick woman, when she said 1t she
had in mind only fear of being alone
in such a dismal lodging house and
fear that she might be called upon to
act as doctor and trained nurse both
were her patient to take turn for the
worse. Now. however, a new thought
came to her. How was she to act? =?
What was she to do to amuse her?
She felt instinctively the antipathy
she had aroused. She covered like a
lamb before this young she wolf of the
city. She was alone. defenseless. with
this creature that had SO far reverted
to type that she might rend and tear.
Even In a battle of wits. and that was
all there would be IL the girl did not
ignore her entirely, Gloria felt her
self no match for this braxen child of
misfortune. Her comparisons we're
physical, but It was not a physical
fear she felt. Sheltered inexperience
was pitted against the most cruel ex-
perience society could ever devise or
tolerate.
Gloria was mistaken in thinking that
Little Ella slept. After Mrs. Hayes
had left her she walked quietly back
to chair by the bedside On it lay a
cheap novel with which the sick wom-
an had been beguiling the time. She
picked it up and was turning the
pages casually when a feeling stole
over her that she was being observed.
Putting aside the book. she found Lit
tie Ella gazing at her stonily.
Say, what'd you come here for?"
Why" she answered In surprise,
81 wanted to help you"
A sneer curled the sick woman's
lip, cynical sneer of disbelief.
Help me, To what? l ain, ever
what brought you?"
Il came with Mrs. Hayes" was all
that Gloria could find to answer
THE woman what just went out?"
yes"
Feeling that she must do something
to end this catechism, Gloria hap
pened to glance at the book she held
in her hand. and this led her to ask:
Wouldn't you like me TO read to you?"
Nav. ! can read fer myself"
perhaps there is something else |
might do. What do you say. l might
write a letter for you?'
"A letter? Who to?"s
isn't there some one who ought to
know you are sick?"
Who'd want to hear from me?" the
woman replied sullenly. Il amt the
belle O. the village any more"
Haven't you a mother?"
"She's dead"
"a father, then? Isn't there some
one watching for you, hoping to see
you come down the quiet little street."
Here was an attempt to awaken a
sentiment for the past which met
with no success. Little Ella replied
roughly:
They're watching at his house all
right-all right-him and that pasty-
face wife of his-so they can run out
and unchain the dog. Then they'd
gather in the parlor an say prayers
fer the dead-that's me-"
What could you have done to have
,your family treat you so?" Gloria
7 asked. What could you do to be
estranged from your father, Of all per
sons?"
This was something Gloria could
not understand. Once she would not
have understood a lack of love where
two had lived together continuously
Now she could waive that point, but
the estrangement was beyond her.

A Wills while surveying a tract OF
land seldom trayersed, save by hunt
ers. He was first attracted to II when
he stepped on the end OF the barrel Of

In the Confederate army. A belt
buckle. part Of a canteen, several dog
e. Confederate mimic balls and other
equipment were found upon further
search. and finally a shoe was found.

A f1attened bullet bore testimony to

The two large rocks at which the find
was made are on an eminence which
commands a view for twenty miles or
more and overlooks the route of Lees

guard followed the Confederate army
and Is known to have been scattered

was made. Kilpatrick's Union cavalry
pursued over this same ground, and
the theory OF the local historians Is
that the Confederate skirmisher was
standing on one OF the rocks when
struck by a Onion bullet, fell between
the two and either died Immediately
