MS mother about JACK.
Yesterday Mary got another threat
ening letter from him and it fright
ened her almost to the verge of nerv-
Gus prOstratiOn. Dick then decided
that his mother should be told. He
took the letters out to her last even
ing and she had a case of Mysteries,
Dick told her that she must not send
Jack any more money, for he might
take it into his drink-sOdden head to
come over here and kill Mary.
81 would not blame him if he did, }"
said Mother WaVerly.
That was enough for Dick. He sim
ply told her that unless she was
little sensible about Jack he would go
into court and swear that she was
not capable of spending her income
and have some one appointed her
guardian.
81 simply can't make you under
stand that Jack is no good" said
Dick. g.
How can you say that of your own
brother? l expect it is Margie that
has made you think this"
''Margie has been more lenient to
him than l." answered Dick Loyalty.
But Dick, can't see him starVe,
she said piteously. Poor woman, l
felt sorry for her.
HE is still able to earn his bread,
was Dicks stubborn reply.
Don't you think if we could per-
suade Mary to give up the book shop
to him he would turn over a new
leaf, Dick?"
''Now look here, mother. You
know Jack was given all sorts of
chances and I caught him dead to
rights stealing from you, his own
mother. If he had the management
of the shop he would send you to the
poorhouse in less than six months.
''Well, can't we get some one else
to take Mary's place? Jack says he

That is just it. Jack never wants
to play second fiddle to anyone. He
wants to begin at the top. He does
not seem to understand that no one
gets to the top of the hill in one leap"
But Mary started in at the top"
MARY was always a lover of books
and she had a lot of experience in
judging them when her father was
alive. She loves the work. To Jack
it is only way of getting money"
"Oh, Dick, we must save that poor
boy. Hadn't you better go down and
talk to him?"
Il can't do anything with him. You
know tried it the last time he was
in the hospital"
Dick, it would kill me, too, if Jack
took his life"
81 really don't think he will unless
he has enough money to buy unIim-
tied cOcain and to buy a railroad
ticket at once"
Just as Dick was saying that the
phone bell rang, and went to the
phone.

and listening to our address the Pope
said:

'Myra." 1 laughed. there are a
whole lot of things you and Mrs. Wal

Then I took time to explain in detail
the method Of hunting rabbits by auto
mobile at night. and did ii in so con-
vincng a manner that Myra's changing
expression indicated I was a real artist
at the job.
Are you very, very sure, dear?'

How many rabbits did you set. Rob-
ert?' Myra asked sleepily, when l came
in about midnight last night. Something
in her tone didn't sound right.
Il am sorry, dear. but we didn't get

That was too bad. now. wasn't it?
Perhaps you didn't have the best kind Of
night for rabbits she urged with a
persistence which forecasted trouble.

out"
Let me think" Myra said, sitting up

| light of the motor car. Isn't that what
you said before Jack Walters and
| Charlie Thompson called for you?'
Yes, dear" 1t is best to speak softly
And just how was this to be done?''

"Why-ah, We were to drive along the
country roads and let our automobile
lights attract the rabbits and then shoot
them. Saw only one. though"
why didn't you shoot that?"
well. you see. dear. Jack had the gun.
He was nervous and couldn't aim

there'd have been a rabbit funeral. all
right" The idea seemed SO funny to me
that I laughed uproariously. Myra didn't.
Instead she handed me a look of scorn.
1T was a shame you didn't have the
gun. Perhaps your story now would
have been more acceptable.
What do you mean?" I bluffed.
Il mean, Robert. that you have been
deliberately f1bbing to me again" Myra
had steeied herself for the onslaught.

told the gospel truth" l roared. Il de-
mand to know your meaning"
As a matter OF fact. 1 had been ex-
actly where I said. We had gone out on

During the second week in May we

Premier Asquith and Sir Edward Grey.
Minister for Foreign Affairs, Sir Ed

Neutrals Must Start Move.
England is at present in a state of
