1.-THE Case Of Early. -:
The case of John Early, ieper, has
been an amazing series of demonstra
tons that American civilization is
yet afflicted with a good deal of the
barbarism OF the Middle Ages.
Early has been handled in the Dis
trict of Columbia, in the state Of
Washington, and elsewhere through
out the country, in way that shows
how liable the public is to, fall into
panic over what it does not under
stand. Leprosy is. a disease almost
unknown in this country. 1t is said
that there are perhaps 300rcasas oi
it in continental United States. T.
Nowhere has provision been made
for humane treatment of these unfor
tunates. They are a terror of society
largely because of its inacapacity to
determine how it shall deal with
them; and the menace which they
represent is of course vastly increased
by reason of the hesitancy and I'M
certainty of the community. in dealing
with them. -!.s5s5
Early crossed the continent without
difficulty after getting away from bis
asylum, in Washington state, travelled
on the best trains, and returned ia
this city, the scene of his most spiti.
full experiences. Immediately after he
was, authoritatively decided to +be a

1T seems rather" he began dubi-

"Oh, let US have our day." she cried
sharply, and led the way into the by.
road.
They came, in the course of quar-
ter of an hour, to the bridge over the
mill race. Beyond, in the messy
shades, stood dilapidated, centurioa
structure known as Rangely's mill, a
landmark with a history that included
incidents of the Revolutionary war
when eager patriots held secret meet
ings inside its walls and plotted under
the very noses of Tory adherents to
the crown.
Pausing for few minutes on the
bridge, they leaned on the rail and
looked down into the clear, mirror
like water of the race. Their own
eyes looked up at them; they smiled
into their own faces. And a feecy
white cloud passed over the glittering
stream and swept through their faces,
off to the bank, and was gone forever.
Suddenly he looked up from the wa
ter and fixed his eyes on her face. He
had seen her clear blue eyes fill with
rail above.
"Oh, my dear!" he cried. What is
it?"
She put her handkerchief to her
eyes as she quickly turned away. In
another instant she was smiling up
at him, soft, pleading little smile
that went straight to his heart.
Shall we start back?" she asked.

She suffered him to lead her up
the steep bank beyond and through
the rocks and rotten timbers to the
great beam that protruded from the
shattered foundations Of the mill.
The rickety old wheel, weather-beaten
and sad, rose above them and threat
ened to topple over If they so much

drawing her up beside him.

sobbed Hetty.
You will be nice to Leslie?"
"Yes, yes! II he will only let me
be his friend"
"He asks no more than that. Now,
you must go to bed"
Suddenly, without warning, she held
the girl tightly in her arms. Her
breathing was quick, as of one
moved by some sharp sensation of ter
ror. When Hetty, in no little won
der, opened her eyes Sara's face was
turned away, and she was looking
over her shoulder as if cause for alarm
had come from behind.
What is it?" cried Hetty anxiously
She saw the look of dread in her
companions eyes. even as it began
to fade.

Something, I can't tell what, came

"Ah," said Hetty, with an odd smile,

"Hetty, will you take me in with
you tonight?" whispered Sara nerv-
ously. Let me sleep with you. 1
can't explain it, but l am afraid to
be alone tonight" The girls answer
was glad smile of acquiescence.

once, and started toward the door.
There is some on in this room."
said Sara few moments later, when
they were in the big bedroom down
the hall.
Il WONDER" murmured Hetty.
And yet neither of them looked
about in search for the intruder!
Far into the night Sara sat in the
window of Hetty's dressing room, her
chin sunk low in her hands, staring
mOodily into the now Opaque night,
her eyes somber and unblinking, her
body as motionless as death itself.
The cooling wind caressed her and
whispered warnings into her unheed-
ing ears, but she sat there unprotect-
ed against it's chill, her nightdress

sinister stealth from the sea-

She was silent for long time, SO

at her

nounced, for want of something bet

The red crept into her cheeks again.
Il thought you were such pals" she
said nervously.
Il expect to be his best man II he
ever marries," said he, whacking a
stone at the roadside with his walk
ing stick. Then he looked up at her
furtively and added, with quizzical
smile: Unless something happens"
What could happen?"
He might marry the girl I'm in
love with, and. in that case, I'd have
to be excused"

ing?" she asked abruptly. He had
drawn closer to her in the roadway.
''Is 1t too far to the old stone mill
That's where / first saw you, IL you
remember"
Eyes, let us go there" she said, but
her heart sank. She knew what was
coming. Perhaps it were best to have
it over with; to put 1t away with the
things that were to always be her
lost treasures. 1t would mean the
end of their companionship, the end
of love dream. She would have to
lie to him: to tell him she did not
love him.
Coming to the jog in the broad mac
adam, they were striking off into the
narrow road that led to the quaint
old mill, long since abandoned in the
forest glade beyond, when their atten-
ton was drawn to a motor car, which
was slowing down for the turn into
Sara's domain. A cloud of dust swan

A bare-headed man on the seat be-

WHALES TAKE A VACATION
Sport of School of
Cetaceans. -,

New York.-A school of whales
spending their vacation out in mid
ocean lent variety to the voyage of the
Vaderland, which arrived from Ant
werp the other day. 1t was at noon
that the liner ran into the school.
Eight bells rang on shipboard and the
school began to frolic, possibly rec
ognizing the noon recess hour. They
spouted and ran close to the ship,
played leap frog, jumped over one an
others backs, diving under one an
other and having the time of their
lives.
Whales there were that seemed 100
feet long, and baby whales not more
than 10 feet in length. Not thrasher
appeared among the group. But there
were number of sharks. The sharks
lay upon their backs, showing their
teeth, diving now and then for baby
whale. About that time whale would
duck, and whiz! the shark went flying
through the air, lifted clean out of the
water The whales were on both sides
of the Vaderland. and two of them
conceived the same idea of a prank
at the same time. They bumped into
the sides of the vessel to scratch their
backs.
They got their backs scratched all
right. The bumps they were handed
shook the ship, hlt the jar to the
Leviathans was something worse
Two more surprised whales never
were seen in the seven seas. The
school stayed with the ship for an
hour, and probably learning that
Jonah wasn't aboard, sped calmly
away over the azure sea.

which is held annually in Washing

there were pounds of cakes, jellies and
pied her mind every morning as she
wended her way to school past the
building. This preoccupation of
thought resulted in arithmetic in
which four quarts equaled one yard,
and Napoleon crossed the Rubicon on

rey was modern girl, and soon found
way out of her trouble.
Saturday she decided to put her plan
into execution. Mother had gone to
work at the treasury, and Audrey was
monarch of all she surveyed literally.
She could not get into the food show
without being accompanied by an
adult Now, adults int such cases be-
ing regarded as necessary evils, the
girl determined to be one herself for
the occasion.
Down at the ten-cent store she
bought diamond ring and smaller
one of plain gold. Then she hied home,

His heart was humping loudly, his
senses swan. Walking to the veran-
dah rail he looked out across the
moonlit sound, then down at the Sc
{ected nook over against the garden
wall-spot to be immortalized!-and
actually shivered. In ten minutes
time, or even less, she would be down
there in his arms! Exquisite medita-
tionSl'
He turned to her with an engaging
smile, in which she might have dis
cerned a prophecy, and asked her to
come with him for a stroll along the
wall. And so he cast the die.
Hetty sent swift, appealing look
at Sara's purposely averted face. Les
lie observed the act, but misinterpret-
ed it's meaning.
"Oh, it is quite warm" he said
quickly. You won't need a wrap" he
added, and in spite of himself his
voice trembled. Of course she wouldn't
need wrap!
Il have few notes to write," said
Sara, rising. She deliberately avoid
ed the look in Hetty's eyes. You will
find me in the library"
She stood in the doorway and
watched them descend to the terrace,
a sphinx-like smile on her lips. Hetty
seemed very tall and erect, as one 60
ing to meet a soldiers fate.
Then Sara entered the house and
sat down to wait.
A long time after a door closed
stealthily in distant part of the
house-the sun -parlor door, she knew
by direction.
A few minutes later an upstairs
door creaked on its hinges. Some one
had come in from the mellow night,
and some one had been left outside.
Many minutes passed. She sat
there at her fathers writing table
and waited for the other to come in
At last quick, heavy footballs sounded
on the tiled floor outside and then
came swiftly down the hall toward
the small. remote room in which she
sat. She looked up as he unceremo-
