THE POISONED NEEDLE" AGAIN

a few days ago the report came
from an eastern city that a woman
had been made the victim Of another
poisoned needle outrage.
The persistence of these reports is
interesting. because they form a test
Of how long people will continue to
believe an incredible and Impossible
thing.
The poisoned needle story had it's
rise and original vogue when the
white slave" superstition was at its
height, and was merely a variation of
that superstition.
The theory that young girls were
kidnapped and spirited away to lives Of
shame got wide .credence despite the
fact that there is not yet a single
proved instance of it. The old form
got a little stale, and the poisoned
needle form was sprung for a change.
The new story was that the cruel
agents of the underworld jabbed their
victims in the arms with needles load
ed with a Supplying drug, and while
they were under its influence they
were hustled into waiting carriages
and hurried away to be sold to the
highest bidder.
And people believed it, too! They
believed 1t even when doctors de-
clared that it was a physical impossi-
biiity. Doubtless there are people
who believe it even now.
Detectives in New York and New
ark have followed UP carefully the
latest instances of the poisoned
needle. They followed the cases for
weeks. They found utterly no evil
Aence to support the claims OF the
Victims" but they did find that the
women making the charges were VIC
sinassof hysteria that took . form ia
aailiar to experts in mental disturb
aAcee.
There u no white slavery" and
E1ese ars no poisoned needles.

sweet air, When Mrs. kincaid appear
ed. She looked up; Lois looked
down.
Good morning." called Lois's voice
IN lthesom greeting.
For the fraction Of a second the
lack-lustre eyes looked into the clear
ones. Then Mrs. Kincaid turned her
back squarely.
The next morning Lois spoke again.
But now there was something half
shy In. her greeting, like a child who
fears a rebuff. But she need not have
feared.
replied promptly.
For many mornings that was as far
as it went.
One day, while Lois worked in the
garden, coaxing the nasturtiums to
climb. a grizzled, unbrushed head ap-
peared V e the separating fence. And
for the first time Mrs. Kincaid spoke
first. Good mornin'. MISS" she said.
Lois started. II was just thinking
Of you,' she said, wishing you could
share my flowers. Aren't the mas
turtlums dear, sturdy things? Would
mt you like a bunch and some slips?''
A garden did not enter into the
kincaids' scheme Of life, but the WON
an accepted with thanks. And there
after on either side of the fence the
garden making went on. AS time
passed bright flowers and sturdy vege-
tables f1ourished in the Kincaids' i'll
kept yard. Even Mr.. Kincaid took to
working in it at odd moments.
through all the summer the strange
friendship went on. 1t was not the
only n that Lois formed in the
neighborhood. But it was one that
she never neglected. And she fan
cied that it had been a pleasure to the
lonely woman.
ding day that Lois found out just
how much the friendly hand had
meant. The day had been a busy one.
1t was late afternoon before Lois had
a moment that she could call her
own. She stole into the. quiet gar
den. beautiful in the twilight shad-
ows, and rested her flushed cheek on
her hand. Her eyes dreamed dreams
as she sat there. She did not see a
grizzled head appear over the fence.
And for a moment or so Mrs. Kincaid
watched her silently. After a little
she nodded her grizzled head, not so
unkempt as it once had been, as
though satisfied. And then she spoke
softly:
Miss Lois! Miss Lois!"
Lois came back from her dreams
and turned with a smile. 1t was the
first time Mrs. Kincaid had called
her by her name.
Miss Lois, my dear" the woman
began, without waiting for her to
speak. II come to bid We good-by an
say God bless We"
But I'm not going way, except
for a little trip" explained Lois. II
couldn't leave the boys. We're going
to live here"
IT'S me, an himself is goin,' Miss
Lois, back to the country we hadn't
ought to O. left. He's goin' farnin'
again. An oh, Miss Lois, tits you has
done it. Eve brung a little present
I hope you won't mind to take it. T.
the little friendly words 1 amt never
forgot. They've made a better woman
of me. They've helped keep Kincaid
straight. An so, God bless ye, Miss
Lois. my dear. An would We be after
shakin' hands,"
Lois did better than that. She
climbed up and put her flower face
against the older woman's faded
cheek.
And they kissed each other with
tears, like friends when one goes on
a IONS journey. "

They cut one tree on one side Of the
river and two on the other. These were
relied In such a manner as TO make
the foundations for a dam and the
