AsTERR1BLE DISAPPOINTMENT
CHAPTER TX.


THERE had been no opportunity to
go again into the attic. But l had
by no means forgotten my fixed de-
termination to see what was in that
trunk. So one afternoon when Mrs.
Gray was out, l sent Hetty on an err
rand that would take her some time.
Then went up and tried every key

ed trunk, but not one would turn.

1 rose stiffly from the floor, Then
there came to me a story l had read
where an impression of lock was
taken in gum and key made. 1
had no hope that could get the key
from Everett if my superstition was
right, as he always kept his keys in
the pocket of the suit he was wear
ing, even when in dress clothes. But
l could get some gum. could try
to make an impression and if l sue

to make me key.
| hurried down stairs. Hetty came
in presently and I at once sent her
out for some gum. She looked tri-
file surprised, but said nothing. When
she returned I gave her a stick and
pretended to chew one myself, al
though gum-chewing was one habit l
never had formeds
It was too late for me to make an
other visit to the attic. 1t would be
dark up there. So had to content
myself until some time when could
get another opportunity. l would
not dare go, with Mrs. Gray in the
house. She would surely be suspic-
ious if I did.
"Get yourself ready for short
trip, just day or two, and meet me
at the station at 5 O'clock" Everett
said at breakfast the next morning.

CHICAGO, July 1s.-John Henry
Hewitt, of Rogers Park, can show the
sordid misers. of fiction a trick or
two. He has accumulated an estate
of 100000. The mistake of his life
was made in his youth. He married.
But he drove wife and three children
from him. He would not support
them, though the courts ruled that
he must.
. After his wife's death. a few years
ago, it was shown in court that Hew-
lit lived the whole year of 1915 on
$55 and a garden. He prowled
through garbage boxes, raided neigh
bors' gardens and assembled in his
home the most picturesque variety of
junk ever got together. His money
is in real estate.
He went to bed in all seasons at
SHUTDOWN to save light and heat. Uncle
Sam drove him to the verge Of in
sanity with his income tax. 1t was
this wound that bled him into i'm
becility. His two married daughters.
Mrs. Wynne and Mrs. Oakley. and his
son, Harry c. Hewitt. had him de-
clared incapable OF managing his es-
tate, and they will handle it hereaf-

TO the Editor:
May | call the attention of
your readers to the important
campaign now under way in be-
half of the colleges of the state
the Wisconsin, Colleges Ass1s-
ciated? We have lately had CAM
paigns in this state for the bene-
tit of Princeton and Harvard. /.
These two great institutions are
like our small colleges in that
they receive no state moneys,
but are dependent for their
funds upon the voluntary sub
scriptions from those who be-
lieye in the kind Of education
which they represent.
"These colleges have several
great virtues. First, they are
confers of canity, moderation
and constructive Americans m /.
Second they give an education
l should say, most of them do
under Christian auspices, and
they esteem knowledge of the
Christian religion as one of the
charac teristics of the truly edu-
Gated man. Third, they are
small. and no less man than
Elihu Root has said that it is in
colleges of 800 students or SO
where men and women receive
their best and fullest education.
s.The reason for this campaign
is simply this: That the pro-
fessors may be decently paid,
that scholastic recurrence ents
may be kept high, that these
colleges may maintain their
vitality, their usefulness and
their proper dignity. Dates of
the financial campaign are Nov
EN- Der IL 10.
.'It is an essential enterprise
which these colleges have un'
dertaken; IL Is separate from
/ the function OF tIe sL..,e univer
sity. and in my opinion 1T is
equally important. They are
public servants. and since they
cannot receive the aid of money
through appropriations, they
hould be rendered suppor'
through ample public subscrip-
ton. Let this good work &C
forward TO SUGGEST"
