THE SCANDAL
MONGER
By
ELLEN ADAIR
The Harm Done by Malicious Gossip

Yes. II Is perfectly true, the average
woman enjoys gossip. SO does the aver
aze man, for the matter of that. There
Isn't any reason why they shouldn't But
between harmless gossip. which diverts
the. mind and entertains ones friends,
and tho real out-and-out scandal that
ruins regulations and kills characters at
one fell swoop, there lies wide gulf
Unfortunately there are too many scan
dal-monsers around nowadays. They
don't intend to work mischief. they would
resent any such lmputation most strongly,
but none the less do they succeed in
achieving real harm.
Only the other evening young woman
OF my acquaintance gave a striking cx-
ample OF how mischief can be worked
without any spiteul intent behind the
remarks made II was at small concert
given for the benefit of a well-known
charity, and popular singer had volun-
teered her services for the evening.
When the singer came on the plat
form there was thunder of applause
from the audience, and she bowed and
smiled in the most fascinating way.
How sweet and attractive she isl" re-
marked man In the group. "She GER
pleasant manner"
Not a scrap conceited either" added
a girl, land she looks as II she were
thoroughly nice in every way"
But she isn't "a bit, my dear" came the
voice of young woman who has the un-
fortunate failing aforementioned. she
may look nice-but on very good author
ity. hear that she drinks Isn't it
Rwful?"
silence fell on the little party i'm
mediately The men looked uncomfort-
able and the women looked shocked. But
the speaker continued TRANQUILITY. "Or
course 1t may not be true-people always
talk about singers and actresses don't
they? And. of course we must be char
liable. and give her the benefit OF the
doubt. Still, there never is smoke without
some fire. is there? ! shouldn't be posi-
tive about this news-but | had it from
reliable source"
The woman who talks in this way would /,
never dream of saying unkind things about
People she actually knows-she would
call that scandal" But she maintains
that II one isn't personally acquainted
with the man or woman under discussion,
II really doesn't in the least matter how
you critlcise or what you say 1T doesn't
make scrap of difference to them" she
declares airily, What the ear doesn't
hear, the mind doesn't grieve over, as the
old saying goes. Besides. when you re-
peat little bits of gossip about celebrities.

thin, querulous cry sounded from
| the depths of the car. The second tramp
stuck his head into the door and growled
! q ferocious threat.

other. TITS plain kidnappin'."
"Huh!' We only takes MIN up the line

stay with 1t, then. If you want to.
! amt takin' no chances with a dead
kid"
The speaker dived under the rods and
disappeared. His companion swore,
looked into the car and hesitated A
sight of the officers on the bridge de-
cided him. and he followed the other.
Again the cry sounded family from the
| interior. Pete hung motionless. his hand
still clutchlng the rung of the ladder.
| The sound haunted him. Possibly some
thing in the helplessness of the child
dimly suggested all analogy with his own
situation.
He descended the ladder and swung
himself lightly into the car. It was pitch
dark there, and the air was like an oven.
He heard a painting, fluttering respira-
ton, and struck a match, masking the
flame with his hands.
Bred in the tenements, he had seen
enough of heat prostration to recognize
the symptoms which precede the final
collapse. A moment later he leaped down,
bearing a little boy across his left arm.
The child had been subjected to the ter
rible heat of the closed car perhaps for
hours. Terrified into silence at first by
the threats of his captors, and then, after
a little, incapable of effective outcry, only
this chance stood between him and death
Pete laid him upon the road ballast
and stood at bay. Between the two loom
ed the prison. Let the boy die 1t was
every one for himself. Did any one ever
help him, Pete, when his back was at
the wall?
A great gush of flame from tall
chimney beyond the yards threw blood
red reflection upon the upturned face of
the gasping child. The man drew his
hands across his eyes. In that moment,
from the depths of his being, the soul of
his ancestors enjoned upon him that
atonement which was the law of their
forgotten sept. He lifted the boy across
his shoulder, drew himself over the
fence with his free arm, and presently
stood under the lights of the street out
side the yards. From the bridge two
officers ran toward him
Look out or you'll hurt the boy" he
growled. as they closed in upon him. IT
amt goin' to make no fight"
Two hours later the cell occupied by
the prisoner was unlocked.
You're bailed," said the policeman
"By who?" increduously queried Pete.
THE superintendent-Mr Wheatley.
That was his kid you brought out of the
yards He was near wild Say you're
all right"
Then he stood back to make room for
some one behind him. 1t was Norah,
blushing and sobbing.

SUES FOR DEATH OF.
BROTHER 8 YRS. AGO
ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST THE
S. A. L. LINE FOR ALLEGED
KILLING OF FORMER PENsA-
COLA MAN.

Three years ago this month, or on
November %, 1912, Charles Harris,
who had lately moved from Pensacola
to Tampa, was killed by an engine
on the Seaboard Air Line, in Hills
borough county, or near Tampa, Fla.
He is survived by two brothers,
George and Tom, and one sister, Mrs.
Cora Holland, who has been named
by the court as administrative of the
deceased mans estate.
An echo of this accidental killing
came to light in this city yesterday,
when the case of Mrs. Cora Holland,
Administrative, VS.. the Seaboard Air
Line, was called up in the United
States court. The railroad company
is being represented by Blount,
Biount & Carter, and Mr.. A. C.
Blount appears in the case. The
plaintiff is represented by r. P. Reese
and w. L. Zachary.
The case proceeded very near all
the afternoon yesterday, and it came
to light that there was some alleged
discrepancy with the papers of adj
ministration. These can be corrected
it was claimed, with little trouble
and last night Mr.. Zachary made a
trip to Milton for that purpose. This
morning the case will again be called
in the federal court.
Plaintiff in this case is asking fol
the sum Of $4,000, the benefciaries
IN such judgment if obtained to BIZ
Thomas and George Harris, brothers
and Mrs. Cora Holland, a sister, anc
administrators.
Chas. Harris, it was shown yester
day, was killed by a train of the de
PENDANT company, it was claimed il
November, 1912, receiving his injurie,
on Nov. %, and expiring as result
therefrom on Nov. 81, 1912.

acts on the roots, making hair
healthy, so the gray hair naturally

Deputies from the sheriff's Office. in
their rounds for the purpose yester-
day, discovered a tota. of twenty-six
men and firms who had failed as vet
to take out license to carry on bust
ness for the current year. In every
case, warrants swere served upon the
parties, and they were all required TO
appear at some hour this morning, in
the court of record and give explana-
ton as to why the license had NOT
been obtained.
The usual method of the court in
the past has been to let all such de-
PENDANTS of with the payment of
costs on condition that the proper Ii
cense be obtained without delay. In
case of failure to comply with these
conditions, it is likely that a more
severe penalty will be imposed.
One dozen additional persons have
been required to appear in court and
tell why they have been selling ciga-
rettes to minors in violation of the
state statutes. In every case those
SO far arrested have pleaded guilty
More than $3.50 in cash has thus fan
