her brief little story between dry sobs.
He took her to a small hotel which
the cabman, with leer, suggested.
The character of the place troubled
Sullivan no whit. He wanted to see
the girl comfortable, and fed, and
more than all, mentally normal again.
There was no lift. He and PORTER

Although it was after two in the

a chair, fed her by spoonfuls.

''Pll starve to death" she said SIM
ply.
She went to sleep almost imme+
diately after that, one arm thrown up
over her head, the other across her
childish breast. Sullivan lowered the
light, creaking around on his ties to
avoid waking her. Then he drew a
chair close beside the bed, and sat
looking at her, at her eye-hds, blue
veined and black-lashed, at the purity
of her mouth, the sweetness and
character of her chin, at the swollen
foot, lying on pillow, with the fine
scratches on the SOLE And, with the
intuition that comes to a man so
surely because so seldom, Sullivan
knew that the scratches were all of
evil that lilly had carried away from
the Bal Tabarin.
Heavy footsteps outside on the
tiled corridor threatened to rouse the
girl from her sleep. He rose and
stood looking down at her. He had
an impulse to stoop and kiss her on
the forehead, but he did not. Instead,
he carried his chair into the hall and
sat down, sentinel fashion, just out
side the door.
The light from gas lamp wavered
in the draft, family Illuminating the
stone stairs, with their twisted iron
baluster. Laughter and music came
up the staircase well, but he heard
neither. His thoughts had gone
ahead to future in which this girl,
this waif he had gathered from the
streets, should have her part; to take
her back to the homeland, to care
for her and cherish her, to see her
growing into that purity of woman
hood that was her birthright, and

Our duty to provide recreation for
the boys and girls was emphasized by
Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson,
daughter of the president, in an ad-
dress before the biennial convention
of the General Federation of Women,
while outside the Auditorium thou
sands of men and women rioted,
shrieking and pushing and threaten
ing and sometimes breaking their
ranks to let through some woman
carried away fainting.
Inside the Auditorium not more
than fifty seats remained vacant and
these were, vacant due to the fact that
the police, unable to control the surg
ing, disappointed crowd on the streets
had closed the doors and refused adj
mission to delegates, speakers, re-
porters and the curious alike.
The theme of Miss Wilson's adj
dress was the necessity of getting
back to the ''town-hall' discussions
of our grandparents, and she advo-
Gated that the schools should be
thrown open for the purpose OF
neighborhood clubs where politics
might be discussed and where the
voters, the most important element,
might meet to gain truthful informa-
ton about candidates for office and
not depend upon newspapers, which
she characterized as unreliable.
:'In Washington we have grand
and beautiful capitol in which rep
resentatives of the U. S. meet to-
gether regularly at appointed times"
she said, "to take counsel together
and decide what is best to do to pro-
mote Justice and freedom in this
great country of ours.
'In each city and town the coun-
Gil gets together in similar way and
discusses these questions.
But the people who are the voters,
the people who elect these repre-
sentatives have no place in which
they may get together and discuss

the voters are merely advised to vote
for a certain candidate without be-
ing permitted to discuss his desirable
itv. Discussions are carried on in
the back room of saloons and there
the voter registers his vote.
I'VE reject the common counsel
our representatives have. But our
forefathers recognized the necessity
of common counsel. They met at
appointed times in the town halls or
school buildings to discuss the great
questions of the nation, but we have
grown away from their habits be-
cause we have grown so fast. The
great interests have absorbed the
time and strength of thousands OF
persons, indeed have demanded the ;
very lives of many Some are too
busily engaged in the struggle to live
to have time for anything outside of
that struggle.
Eve have become absorbed in our
private business and have forgotten
public business of government. We
have left it to become the duty or
profession of few and some Of the
few have engaged in it entirely for
their own private gain.
ct is a great opportunity for CO.
operative enterprise and yet we have
forgotten the great principle of CO.
operations. The bosses and managers
of political machines have not for

San Francisco, Jan. 14.--There is a
possibility that Artie Holman, former
big league outfielder, will not play
with the San Francisco team this sea-
son. Hoffman is one of several play
ers who are being considered for the
position of manager of the Nashville
club of the Southern league and if he
lands the job he will be lost to the
Seals.
Holman is a free agent and will not
be bound to the San Francisco club
unless he signs contract. He agreed
to the terms offered him by Manager
Dell Howard and will report here if
he does not get the managerial job,
as Nashville has secured waivers from
the other clubs in the Southern league.
Pop" Arlett, the Seal pitcher, who
was farmed out to Watsonville last
season, has signed his contract with
San Francisco, which makes four play
ers signed up. Tanning, Downs, To-
bin and Arlett are the advance guard.
