Every Girl Should Read These
Wonderful Letters.
Dear Sweetheart:

Dear Sweetheart:
have had an experience today
which has shaken my faith! At
last, worn out with running to and
fro. and trying to md right and
justice where none seem to exist
1 come to you. Your big heart has
room for our tragedies cover here"
even though every nerve IL strained
with the tragedy cover there" 1t
happened at market this morning.
As I drew up to the curb. a police
man stood there and saluted-call-
ing me by name-I answered-and
passed on! Something compelled
me to look back, and I saw the po-
liceman had his hand on the arm OF
a poor miserable eringing kind Of
a man! I went back and spoke to
the officer. why are you detain-
ing this man? What has he done?

be slight, for a small offense, but
more from a sense OF absolute In
