"a short story in two parts treating the
causes which lead to vice conditions and

save our girls from such fate.)
saw two maidens, both brown and
fair, going to and fro, up and down
the haunts of mankind. One follow
ed, just to see, just to learn the ways
of life. Her name was Mary. Sweet
she was and ever dutiful. One of
those creatures which the world ac-
cepts too complacently instead of bow
ing down in worship at such a thing
so rare. She was beautiful, simple,
pure and with no guile. To pass her
was to feel a radiance such as must
be the atmosphere of Heaven. And
so l watched Mary in her home and
abroad. 1t seemed a delight to her
when she was permitted reluctantly
by fond and ever-thoughtful mother
to help" with the household work.
She moved in the Home Circle sweet
ly and gracefully and above all, SEN
sibly. Parental eyes gloated over the
happy development of girlhood and
seemed satisfied. Did she desire to
"go out" she was not averse to the
company of the Father, the Mother
or the big brother, each was a delight
to her. The filial bonds bound her
strongly, the fount of Home love
sprung gushingly in her soul and she
grew and grew till the advance lights
of womanhood twinkled in the dist
ance.
One day, Mother took daughter to
counsel. Calmly, instinctively, loving
ly she told her of waiting RESPONSE
bilities, new hopes, new desires, and
the daughter understood.
Later on, this simple, trusting,
obedient child found her mate. Her
womanhood was now supreme, her
beauty matured without one untoward
ripple.
AS the small stream, rising out of
the serene mountain, flows beautifully
on in its natural course, reaching glor-
iously, through meadows and fields
until it disembogues into a mightier
life of waters, thus finding its true
destiny-so the young wife reached
that noble maturity in her own hearth.
Added happiness came when the pratt
tie of small voices was heard about.
(These Blessed Little Ones.) Heaven
seemed to smile. The world looked
on and approved.

LYNCH LAW IN THE UNITED
STATES.

Americans hold up their hands in
holy horror at German frightfulness,
and are justified in their adherence.
But we have an American frightful-
ness which makes America appear
hypocrite. l mean our national sin
of lynching.
This thing is the disgrace Of the
American people. 1t does not exist
among other civilized nations in any
such degree, except as Russia perse-
cutes the Jews and Turkey the Sy-
rians, Greeks and Armenians, and 1t
in some degree lowers us to the level
of those countries. Neither England,
France nor even Italy is stained with
this rape of the law as is America.
Every man, every newspaper and
every organization that observes ST.
lence when Negroes or alleged Ger
man sympathizers are lynched be-
comes to that extent a conniver at the
crime.
Nothing done in Belgium by Ger
many or by Turkey in Armenia ex-
ceeds our treatment of the Negro in
its iniquitous shamelessness. The
United States can not afford to let it
continue. We sow seeds of hate in
