reaching the goal first. Peter did not
even trouble to go in and John found
only an empty tomb. Then they ran
right away again. Their attitude was
not one of hate, for they had endureuA
a good deal in their championship or
the Prophets cause. Their attitude,
however, was one of haste, and haste
is next bad to hate, in the discovery
of truth. The truth seeker is not
marathon runner. He Is piodder
and sometimes stands knocking at
closed doors for days and months be-
fore finding the combination which
opens them. Haste is only valuable
when running for train.
Then there was Mary who stood
without at the sepulchre weeping;
and as she wept, she stopped down
and looked into the sepulchre, and
seeth." Here was the triumphal atti-
tude, the opposite of hate and haste
hope. And back of all the strainins
of eyes and flowing of tears, was her
bitter, yet beautiful life history.
Somehow the silent form in the tomb
meant more to her than to anybody
else. She had been rescued from more
awful depths, and her faith rested up
on the actual transformation of her
life. She couldn't give up her hope
with Just a look. She kept hanging
around, confident that something
might happen as the Master had said. '
because she knew more than the 9TH
ers of what that power could do; and
IL was Mary who first heard the
Master speak.
Perhaps there are readers of this
article who feel the need of just what
happened back there on that first

truth is that it really meets the deep
est needs of personality. The deepest
proof of Easter les here. Some little
Grave out at the edge of town, now

bloom with the flowers of hope az
the sunlight of Immortality rises over

wee bit worn and tern by the harsh
judgments OF misunderstanding
friends feels the need of greater
friend. We ourselves confess to the
same yearning, and the miracle of thA
resurrection lives with us yet an.
ether year. simply because IL must
live to give life any proportion. Hope
Is an attitude much more productive
than hate or haste.

INVOKING A NEW PROBLEM.

II Is weakness OF reformers that
they conceive the contamination OF
what they contend for will settle the
whole question and bring on a new
and better era, when In fact they are
only settling one phase of the matter
and opening up new problems more
acute than those which are past
Such Is apt to be the case with child
labor legislation. The appeal to tho
the basis Of sentiment, and the con.
sensus of public opinion IL, of course,
in opposition to exploiting the labor
OF youthful hands for the selfish
benefit Of their elders, as well as a
desire to conserve the physical and
intellectual welfare OF the growing
generation. There has been almost
no dissent to this desire. Yet a sense
Of justice and equity will prompt
many of us to sympathize with tho
widow woman whose strapping son
wanted to work to help his mother
rather than lose his time in school.
She said: 81 don't want my boy to
he a loafer He is able and willing
TO work. / need his help more than
he needs the schooling" Yet tha
law knows no differences, and tho
support Of widowed mother will
have to quit work just the same as
the petted child of well-to-do par
ents or the slave of a padrone. Out
side of the injustice of such cases,
the legislation which makes ii un-
lawful for n child under a certain
age to perform profitable labor is
certainly an undemocratic interfer-
ence with personal liberty, though
done under the guise of "child pro-
tection,' and, unless supplemented
with some phase of manual training
and intelligent instruction in the
duties of life, can only result in en-
couraging idlcness, which is the open
door to vice and crime. 1t is right
that some law should be found to
prevent children being made the
slaves of industry and deprived Of
their right to an education, but IL Is
logically, physically, intellectually
and morally wrong to forbid a hu-
man being from turning his energies
or talents to profitable use just be-
cause a bunch of lawmakers have de-
creed that he must first put a GER
tain number of years behind him.
Many of our greatest and best men
would never have been the shining
lights they came to be had they not
first learned the lessons of industry
and thrift in ;he early school of
necessity, and they became great be-
cause there were no child labor laws
to prevent 1t.

TOO MANY REVERSALS.

We all admire the man who has the
courage to acknowledge his error
when convinced that he Is wrong. for
there is quite difference between
having the back bone" to stand by
cur convictions and being too stub
born to ever change. There is some-
thing pulling and distressing, how
ever. in trying to follow the man who
changes with too much frequency and
assumes a dogmatic attitude in all
cases. That is the problem Of those
who would like to stand by the presi-
dent. 1t takes a good deal of shift
ing to keep in line with him. II sue
cess consists in being right oftener
than we are wrong, Mr.. Wilson will
have to be put down as n failure in
craftsmanship. He has lacked the
humanity, the instinct and the fore
sight that enables men of great vision
to discern the permanent and the
worthy and to aid destiny to assert it.

men do not reverse themselves in
fourfifths Of their important doc
trines or policies, because they choose
the right point OF view at the outset
more often than they do the wrong.
The best of men are liable to make
mistakes, and the wisest have occa-
sionally to discard their old opinions

transfxed was the sudden vision Of
Da Espares lodging Though the iron
girders in sudden pursuit Of Legar. as
the latter, breaking free from his enc
mics, ran to the opposite side of the
bridge. There, seeing retreat on ei-

coveries. me first was that the ap-
pointed time for the coup had been
suddenly changed to an hour earlier.
The second was that the trap for Le-
gar was not to be set along the wood
ed road leading up to the clubhouse Of
the Greenoch golf links. as first decid-
ed upon. But Margery Golden was to
motor alone to the west end Of the
turnpike bridge and there encounter
her old-time enemy Of the Iron Claw.
And the police, Da Espares assured
her. had been duly warned as to the
change Of location.
Manley, on overhearing that declara-
tion, promptly called up headquarters
and made the startling discovery that
no such message had gone In to the
authorities there.
In five minutes he was In his own
car. Fastening to conference with
central office itself. In another five
minutes, on learning from Wilson
over the wire that Da Espares and
Margery had already left the house in
the limousine, Manley had his car
filled with armed plain-clothes men
from the central office and was speed
Ing out through the city as fast as a
motor could carry him. AS they swept
up the dusty approach to the bridge
they even saw that they were none
too soon.
For already, In the bright afternoon
sunlight, they could make out q glim-
mering limousine as 1t came to a stop
at the end of the bridge. They could
see q somewhat hesitating and white
faced girl step from this limousine at
the same moment that they caught
sight Of q group Of men emerge quick
ly from the shrubbery at the end Of
the bridge itself.
These men, spreading out fanlike,
swept past the limousine in which Da
Espares and the chauffeur were still
seated. Four of them, rounding the
car, cut of the girls avenue of retreat,
Another four advanced on her from
the bridge-end, at the same time that
q fifth man leaped to the running
board and started to struggle with the
chauffeur.
Even as he stared at that quickly
shifting scene Manley could make out
the figure Of Legar himself. He could
see the Iron Claw reach out for the
startled figure Of the girl, crouched
back against the bridge railing. even
as his own car-wheels leaped from the
approach to the bridge timbers them
selves. He could also make out Da
Espares' sudden leap from the waiting
limousine. Manley, on beholding this.
gave a cry Of warning to the plain.
clothes men about him. for he could
plainly see the CLINT Of q revolver in
Da Espares' hand. But Da Espares,
az that car Of deliverance thundered
on across the bridge, did not turn to
face It. Instead, he fought his way
through the circle of burly figures sur
rounding Margery Golden. He fought

The unbiddsn Guest.


The gallant Count Luigi Da Espares,
In view Of his much-talked-of victory
on the Turnpike bridge. found himself
forced into the not uncongenial role
Of Q hero. II that discreet nobleman
took advantage Of the high esteem in
which he momentarily stood to push
through to completion certain arrange
ments for the costume ball on which
he seemed to have set his heart.
Knowing what he knew, the secre-
tary still regarded that impending
function as danger in disguise. Just
as he still nursed very substantial
doubts as to the actual death of Legar.
So fixed was Manley in his suspi-
cions. however. that he insisted on a
conference with Enoch Golden him
self. From that conference he wrung
small consolation for his suspicious.
Manley, in fact, had given up any
hope of further argument on the ques.
ton. when trivial yet disquieting in.
cident occurred. and in occurring
brought about . slight change In
Enoch Golden's attitude. This Incl.
dent involved the receipt Of a strange
missive bearing the signature Of that
elusive interloper in the affairs Of the
house Of Golden known as the Laugh.
Ing Mask. It read as follows: ;,
Count Luigi Da Espares 10 not only
an Impostcr, but also your enemy. And
a. q friend herewith warn you that
he 10 not to bc trusted.
Even this epistle, which bore only
the emblem Of Laughing Mask for
signature. might have been accepted
as Of no great importance, had not
Enoch Golden been the recipient Of
still another communication. This
time 1t was telephone message from
stranger, acknowledging himself to
be an active colleague of the Iron
Claws.
"Legar may be gone," said this un-
known voice over the wire. but his
work Is going to 90 on. and don't you
forget It! You still held that chart.
II the chief didn't get his chart, before
he cashed in. I'm the guy who's going
to get IT."
IAN right" was Golden's shouted re-
sponse. "You come up here and get
It! And at the same time you'll get
what you deserved"
Then, having slammed down the re-
ceiver. the deliverer of that ultimatum
promptly sent for his secretary.
Il want extra guards put around
this house!" was Golden's command.
"And l want nobody to come into 1t
who can't be accounted for"
Tonight will be q hard time, I'm
afraid, to put that order into execu-
tion," explained Manley.
What d'you mean by that?"
"You can't give . masked ball and
put every guest on . microscope-slide
as he comes in!"
"Manley, how sre We to know Just
