has taken the soul out OF charity In

made to pay the penalty OF her
crime or not. one point is evident:
Tho very things she was anxious
should not DO disclosed are now be-
fore the public gaze in all their de-
tails.
Whether II Ia written law or I'M
written law. pure revenge never
righted . wrong or actually brought
the satisfaction that was sought. A
long as she lives. this woman must
carry with her the feeling that she
took life. No matter how much
suffering her SO -called enemy might
have continued to infiict on her, IL
could not possibly equal the general
and specific results that her own act
has brought about.
On tho other hand, underlying all
this there Is the ever present green
eyed monster jealousy. that worms
its way In the hearts and minds Of
human beings and stirs them TO ac-
ton which they later deplore. Al
ways with this serpent Is the red eyed
lawless microbe OF revenge. and this,
| II allowed to grow, Is an element In
tho human game that makes for
destruction everywhere.
There are no wholesome returns in
the rotting process of revenge. Right
In our midst, In lesser degree, this
spirit OF GETTING EVEN" stalks
abroad. The fellow with a grievance
Is always on the job. Bad business
all OF 1t. Having 1t In for somebody"
Is the worm of worry that causes
wrinkles and gray hairs and makes
people run away from you.
There Is the man who Is promoted
ahead Of you. Keeping hatred In
your heart against him doesn't ge;
you the Job that he has. The young
woman whose best beau has turned
his attention In the direction of an
other - harboring bitter feelings
against her won't change things, but
only make her less attractive ami
more miserable. Who knows? Per-
haps the girl he has turned to 10 more
to be pitied than to be blamed.
And 80 on. every day, we are likely
to be confronted with the desire /;
"get back" at somebody, and In these
very instances, every day, Father
Time chronicles the truth that the
seeker OF retribution usually gets thu
worst of 1t. Like a rubber ball, re.
