THE TRAGEDY OF WHISPERING
CREEK.

The old hankering after a woman's soft
hands and caressing words had returned
since the strangers arrival in Whisper
ing Creek. AS far back as he could re-
member he had been wanderer and an
exile, and the winding ribbon of road that
cleaned ahead of him seemed lonely and
forbidding now.
Perhaps IL was the orphans fault. As
he lay on the bed with eyes half closed
and the wounded arm in a sling, she
seemed to Murdoch a shy little wild
flower just bursting into bloom. She
had eyes as soft and dreamy as the
night that lowered over the hills, bur

inches of mems beings. AS she tiptoed
softly about the injured mans bed the

opened and closed II quickly behind her,
but Murdoch had caught a glimpse Of u
swarthy, wrinkled face and a pair of
treacherops eyes that cleaned evilly. In
stinctiveiy his glance sought the holster
hanging over the bed. The caller was
jerking out a strange jargon of words,
and suddenly he heard the sounds of
struggle and girls muffied cry.
The wounded arm throbbed painfully as
he reached for the revolver and crawled
to the door. He Jerked IL open and saw
the girl clawing and tearing at the face
of a half-breed. While his hand clutched
at her throat she struggled with the
agil grace of a mountain cat.
Murdoch had forgotten the throbbing
wound in his arm. With a curse he flung
the half-breed aside and aimed the re-

LISTEN, AND YOU WILL
HEAR VOICE OF GOD!
Rev. Earle Wiley in Sermon Describes
Manifestations of Lords
~ Speech to Man.

Because you do not hear is no evil
dence that God does not speak; for. as
1t has been said that one-half the work
of art is in the Individual holding it, SO
one-half the voice of God is in the hear
ing" declared the Rev. DIR. Earle Will
fey in a sermon on the subject. Gods
Voice at the Vermont Avenue Chris
tan Church yesterday morning.
DR.. Wiley described three manifesto
tons of Gods voice; in giving the law,
in giving warnings and admonitions, and
in giving His Son. We hear Gods voice
today in His laws" he said, "as we
know there are physical laws whose
violation carries a penalty, so is this
true of the spiritual. the moral and the
intellectual worlds. From the knowledge
that IL my body is given to sin l pay
the penalty, l learn to be clean. to be
strong, moral, spiritual.
THE voice is not hard TO hear. You
can never drown it out. Though it may
be faint and far away because Of your
wilfulness, self-seeking. selfishness. still
you can hear il. The voice is always
audible to one who will hear.
Gods voice today is heard in the Cos
pei, which has its beginning and ending
in Jesus. but in its broader aspects is IA
gospel of sanitation, OF outdoors. OF
science. the scalpel and testtube. II
you listen you will hear His voice.

He peered intentIy at a Swallowed spot

arms about each other The wanderer
smiled sadly, but as he turned to continue
the journey a prayer for the happiness
OF the orphan trembled on his lips. He
flung them a last lingering glance of
farewell, and then a form wriggling in
the bushes near the couple caught his
attention.

quivered in his hand as he approached
the sweet hearts. He drew nearer and
nearer, and Murdoch fancied he could see
the evil grin on the half breeds lips
He was directly behind them, and the
hand that clutched the steel was raised
Murdoch snatched the pack from his
back and flung il at the figure crouching
behind the lovers. He heard a snarl
that something strangled into a groan,
and he knew that Bashful Bill and the
orphan of Whispering Creek had es-
capped.
His foot slipped. and in a dizzying
plunge from the crest of the cliff earth
and sky merged in haring colors before
his eyes. Instead of the long, long road,
the wanderer had struck the easiest

In other words. except for a few rare

long Imprisonment, but even at that,
everything that is possible is done for
their comfort and to keep their minds

Bookworms form a big majority or

and there are books a-pienty to meet all
requirements and tastes. Many of tn.

Sunday amusements are not

A visitor to ST. Elizabeth's will
find the patients engaged in
many forms OF healthy amuse-
ment. There isn't any ticket
taker and the amusement is
usually found on the tennis
courts and in the big gymnasium.
All of which is strictly within
the law"
Keeping the insane amused
has been reduced to an art by
DR.. william A. White. Baseball
teams. movies" a brass band
dances, and nearly every other
sort of innocent pleasure has
been introduced. But the tango
and the Make are never exc
cuted on the floor of st. Eliz-
abeth's dance hall. That's one
place in the District where the
dancers get as much fun out of
the waltz and two-step now as
they used to in other days.
In other words, everything
that's possible is done for the
healthy amusement Of patients.

Keeping the Insane Amused" sounds
like a freak subject doesn't it?
But in reality. it's a biz part OF the
problem that confronts DR.. William A.
White and his corps of assistants at the
immense Government Hospital for the
Insane. Now, after many years expert
menting, the superintendent has succeed
ed in reducing the entertainment of the
thousands of Uncle Sans feebleminded
patients to an art, and there is hardly
form OF healthy amusement that hasn't
been introduced at the institution.
So when the city editor decided he
wanted a story on Keeping the Insane
Amused" there wasn't anything for the
reporter to do but leg II out to St.

more fortunate neighbors.

bad to permit outdoor sports" DIR. Glueck
said, that's the time when we have to do
some tall thinking. because keeping the
insane amused then is an altogether diff
ferent matter"
But how about dances and the
'movies'?"
Now you're coming to it." he replied,
leading the way to the assembly hall.
Here's our dance hall and our movie
theater. We have dances out here every
week during the cool weather. and a
whole lot Of outsiders come out As visit
ors. But there isn't any tangoing or one

except those who have just entered, know
anything about the maxixe. We're per-
fectly contented with the waltz and two

thrown in. 1t isn't well to get the patients

dances are the safest.
But dancing and movies are not the

harmless patients were either trying to
reduce their weight, and something that
looked like a basketball game was in
