NINETEENTH CHAPTER.

VSAW. as by a flash of light, what
was before me, and my whole
soul rose in rebellion against II.
That my father after all the years
during which he had neglected me,
should come to me now, when my
plans were formed. and change the
whole current of my life, was an
outrage-an iniquity. 1t might be his
right-his natural right-but if so
his natural right was spiritual
wrong-and ! would resist ito my
last breath and my last hour | would
resist it.
Such were the brave thoughts with
which ! passed that night, but at
10 o'clock next morning. when | was
summoned to meet my father himself

head to the Bishop, who sat on the
other side of the room, he added:

continued scrutiny. with feeling o!
being looked over for some unex
planned purpose. when the Reverend
Mother called me, and turning to 20
to her ! saw by the look of pain on
her face that she, too, had been hurt
by 1t.
She put me to sit on a stool by
the side Of her chair. and taking my
right hand she laid il in her lap and
held il there during the whole of the
interview.

seen before, was the first to speak

would follow her example.
i was something Of g jar to go
back into the streets, so full of noise
and hustle; and all the way home
with the Reverend Mother l was
forming the resolution of telling her
that very night that l meant to be a
nun, for stirred to the depths of my
soul by what / had seen and remem-

education will now be finished,

to prepare her for the change in
life that is before her.

SHERIFF ARRESTED.
Mother of Victim Gets Warrant Alleg-
ing Murder.

Hiawatha, Kan, Feb. "A frail
little woman Of 60 years, her face
tired and sad, her clothes severely
plain, came to Hiawatha Saturday IN
search of her dead son. Members OF
her church in Larned, her home town,
raised the money to buy her ticket
here, she said. The woman was Mrs.
Anna Wallace, and the boy whose
body she sought was Ernest wallace,
shot and killed last Tuesday night by
Sheriff N. T. Moore in an attempted
Jail delivery.
The woman left for Cowgirl. Mo-,
with her sons body. A complaint
charging Sheriff Moore with murder
in the first degree was filed by County
Attorney Ed Archer. The sheriff was
placed under arrest and later gave
bond for his release. His preliminary
trial was set for Feb. IL.
A couple of weeks ago Ernest Wal
lace, a boy of %, united a horse from
a hitching rail on the main street
here and rode the animal to Leaven-
worth, where he succeeded in making
a sale, and later was caught in Kansas
City. He was returned here, con-
fessed the theft and was placed in the
county Jail. Tuesday evening Sheriff
Moore was given tip by John Severy,
a boy prisoner. that Wallace and an
other alleged horse thief were plan
ming to escape. That evening at meal
hall while his jailer carried supper to
the prisoners. Wallace and his ac-
complice, Albert Phillips, attacked
the jailer and attempted to gain their
liberty. The sheriff rushed to the cell
room corridor and shot both men.
Wallace was shot through the back
and top of the head, and died two
hours later. Phillips, shot through
the breast, is still alive.
A coroner's jury, after lively dis
pute over the evidence, brought in a
verdict exonerating the sheriff. Yes
terday the dead boys mother spent
all day investigating the killing Of her
son. She talked to the members Of
the coroner's jury. Some of them did
not seem satisfied with their own ver-
dict. Early this morning, before leav-
ing for Cowgirl, Mo-. to bury her boy,
Mrs Wallace talked over with her
brother, H. F. Moore. the things the
jurors and other Hiawatha citizens
had told her, and this afternoon the
brother asked that the sheriff be
placed under the charge of murder.
The sheriff has made but one state
ment. 1t follows:

for the unfortunate affair at the Jail.

right. If knew then what I know

PAVING FOR CONCORDIA.
City Won Injunction Suit-Work to
Begin Soon.

Concordia, Kan, Feb. 2.-The city
won an injunction suit Saturday when
Judge Hogin dismissed the case
brought to stop paving, which the city
was preparing to do, under the 1913
law The point of whether non-resi-
dents counted on a petition or not was
involved. Judge Hodgin upheld the
1918 paving law. The case may be
appealed. The contract for paving will
be let by the council Monday night
and this will be the first move for
paving in Concordia.
The fight between the brick con-
tractors and asphaltic concrete men
came to blows today when two of them
met and started an argument over the
merits of their respective articles.

Beauty but Health
And the Basis of Hef Health and VigOr

Lies in the Careful Regulation
of the Bowels.
II woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be a
picture of loveliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. 1t lies in health. In
the majority of cases the basis of
health, and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude. the sal
low skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods be-
cause the foods are served daintily and
they do not exercise enough. But what
ever the particular cause may be it is
important that the condition would be
corrected.
An ideal remedy for women. and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
Quirements. is DR.. Caldwelps Syrup
Pepsin. which thousands of women en-
dorse highly, among them Mrs. c. 8.
Vance, of 511 s. Ray St., New Castle,

tion so severe that she thought she

Junction City. Kan. Feb. 2.-Not only
is the music credit plan of Superin-

City schools attracting attention among
the educators all over the United States
but several requests for information
regarding it have come from Europe.
One of these is from the editor of a

from house that does a large busi-
ness in importing educational books.
The music credit plan has been writ
ten up in numerous school journals
and musical publications in the United
States and many requests for addi
tional information come from high
schools all over the country.
The plan is one Of Mr.. Shideler's own
devising and is better in many respects
than several plans which have been
adopted by schools, principally in the
east. One credit is allowed each year
for music lessons taken outside of
school. On a basis of eight credits
