Did she leave it here?"

Moore's eyes sparkled. She took it
from a drawer in a desk.
That girl always was careless about

were n virtue.
Bobbie glanced at Iris. She was as
serene as a plate of ice cream.
"Pll send it to her." offered Iris, and
Mrs Moore smilingly put it in her

If Junie could wire her friend, why

"You have such slow delivery out

"Phone mother can't find my purse.

Twenty minutes were all the callers

He left her contemptuously, leaving

AS he went down the steps he heard

The house % the Moores at Bryn-

dear old house. 1t stood back amid
the dim trees, with a dignity and

REASONS GIVEN FOR
DOWNFALL Of BOYS
Inmates of Huntingdon Reforma-
tory Talk of Causes Leading
to Their Imprisonment

Huntingdon, Pa, Feb 6.-It is in
terestlng to learn to what causes the
959 inmates admitted to Pennsylva-
MIA Industrial Reformatory here dur
ing 1894 attribute their downfall,
as shown by the biennial report of
Superintendent IT. B. Patton, issued
to-day. There are many other statis-
tics of general interest in the report
which shows the State penal institu-
ton had most successful record for
the two years just ended.
OF the 959 inmates, SIS blamed
bad association as the cause of their
crimes; 1876 offered no excuse what
ever; Sc blamed intemperance; So said
lack of employment was responsible;
39 fatty denied their guilt, attri-
buted their waywardness to home en-
vironment, and ! inmate lamented the
Tact that he had read bad literature, of
the Nick Carter" type. There were
fifty different kinds of crime charged
against the inmates, whose ages aver
aged 1913 years.
The board of manager of the Re-
formatory, in their report, call atten-
ton to the urgent need of legislation
concerning the disposition of articles
made in the various industrial depart
ments of the institution. The board
points out that many of the products
of the inmates skilled labor could be
and should be utilized by other de-
partments of the State, as is done in
many other States. AS it is, all ar
ticles, manufactured. designed, cary
ed, moulded, etc, are destroyed at
their completion, with dire waste.
This, too, in a sense, is disheartening
to the inmates.
The inventory returned to the prop
erty commission of Pennsylvania, COW
ering the property owned by the State
at the Reformatory. consisting of land,
buildings, personal property and sup
plies amounted to S1.246, ,706.O4.

Within five minutes Iris and Bobbie

had found a picture of Ned among
some other intimate photographs, and
it was with constant reference to this

constant caressing of It that she penned
her important message:

She was back, blazing. She had her

An electric coupe stood at the door
She slammed into that, turned on the
lights and rolled away with as much
vigor as was in the capacity of her
machine. Bobbies runabout darted
after her and passed her and then
came the limousine with Mr.. and Mrs
Moore and Ned.
Poor June! 1t had been hard for her
to leave those beloved voices down
there in the library, but she had made
up her mind very firmly that neither
she nor Ned could be happy if she was
always to feel that she was a chattel
She ran back to the desk for Ned's
photograph, then stepped lightly out
on the tiny side porch, jumped down to
the little embankment and fed. as
light as thistledown, along the side OF
the house and out at the little grocer's
gate.
Where now should she go? The
apartments. their home, /hers and

Broadway. She had realized three

that Ned might come there. 1t would
be the most likely place for him to so

In fond memory, stopping at the

OF the dear rooms, furnished just to
fit her and delight her-the white and
gold reception room. the white and
rose drawing room, the white and
black library, the white and blue bed.

Ned in every room and herself there.
Now flushed and happy she was ex-

they were dining together all alone
She was playfully feeding Ned, and
he was seasoning the meal with stolen
kisses, walking clear around the ta-
BILE to get them. They were spending
an evening Of blissful companionship
in the library.
She suddenly held her handkerchief
to her mouth to choke back sob. On
Broadway she hailed a passing taxi.
All was sparkling at SheTy's, but
Gilbert Blye had taken small share in
the hilarity. He had risen to go when

say he gave YOU money!"
"Yes." June Strengthened up as she
recognized the difficulty which lay be-
fore her. Iris, while a warm and loyal
friend, was not exactly a thoughtful
person nor sensitive one and might
perhaps not understand the deep eth
ical significance OF what had happened
Bobbie didn't count.
