A Fascinating Story in which the High

Mystery, and Triumphant Love

He ran to the window and flung
1t open.
Even, as he did so there was q
tinkling of glass below, and
from the windows Of the first
story q sudden gush Of flame
poured out, licking upwards.
The sight was so incredible and
unexpected that FOR moment
his senses were paralyzed.
Fire. yelled Philip. He made
one plunge for the papers on the
desk, cramnned them into his
pockets, tore open the front door
and ran out on to the landing.
The place was thick with smoke
A fierce cracking and Kissing
filled his ears.
Down the steps he went pell-
NELL. only to be brought up short
on the floor below by q sheet or
flame and smoke that no human
being could pass through and
live.
The house was blazing; evil

flashed and spread with almost
unbelievable swiftness. There
was q raw smell Of burning

'sBy heavens, this Is no accl-

gasped Philip as he turned and
ran up again to the landing.
There was the second staircase

It was hard to find It In the
smoke. He found it. but was driv-
en- back iIiexorahly by roaring

climbed swiftly before the fierce
upward draught. Philip staggered
back to the landing.
The lower floors were ablaze
from end TO end. every window In
them shot red tongues of fire into
the street. The last road Of escape
was barred.
Till that moment Mottisfont had
never felt fear In his life. It was
not from the mere inpm1nence Of
death that he shrank, but the
issues that hung upon his safety
were incalculable.
He cIapped mis- hand to the

stairs to the top story.

There was. But IL was difficult

he came below it. For 1t was five

steps had led up to 1t. looking on

|" HERESA O'TOOLE looked
out timidly from her big
- Irish blue eyes at the
strange new world to which she
had lately come. When far away
across the ocean she had heard
that there were wonderful oppor-
tunities in what was still called
the new world" So she had left
her little village home in Ireland
and come across with a group of
the neighboring girls and boys.
But one by one her companions
had found employment and gone
away. Not being used to the
ways of her new environment, she
had lost trace Of them all-Mi-
chael and Ann and Rosie and Pat
rick and Ellen and the rest of
them. All had gradually drifted
away from her in the swirl and
hustle Of the big city, and at last
she was left to herself-a stranger
in a strange land.
She had soon found employ
ment as a nurse in a big house
with a brown stone front. Little
Arthur, her charge, a chubby,
small boy Of four years, was de-
voted to her and never tired Of
hearing the wonderful stories Of
fairies and elves she told him
each night. Then she would sing
him to sleep With some OF the
plaintive songs that the Irish folk
love so dearly.
Little Arthur's mother, a charm
ing young society matron, came
into the nursery every evening to
hear the stories and the songs
and then would tiptoe softly out
of the room, leaving the boy fast
asleep in Theresa's care.

OF the young man-shot in his
first hold-up attempt-have just
turned out to attend his funeral.
Here was another case OF the
good-bad boy. He was good in
his studies. good at athletics, good
to Mother, and thought he would
be good to Father by picking UP
some ''easy money" and relieving
the strain on the parental purse.
How about it, My Boy? What
is your scheme for helping your
father or for being good to him?
OF course, you are not going to
rob or steal for him. But you
may have a scheme to do some
soft thing. What is it?
Occasionally gifts like birthday
presents, your expressed appre-
citation for his devotion to the
family. and some boasting about
what your dad can do-these help
a bit and they show that your
heart is right.
How can you, do you ask?
Well, that is easy. Here are the
points:
Stay in school. II you must
quit the standard high school,
then get into night school and
keep your mind growing.
Learn to work. Keep your
hand in practice at doing some
thing that will command wages.
So long as you know how to earn
honestly you are not likely to be
tempted to gamble or steal.
Go to church. You will not
build up a well-balanced charac.
ter-one that will in time make
your fathers heart rejoice-unless
you keep up the habit of going
to church.
Drop foolishness; keep trivial
thoughts out Of your mind.

It was only a fife and drum

followed after it, forgetful Of

until the musicians disappeared
around a corner and the inspiring
sounds died away.
Then Theresa came to herself

around. Where was Arthur? She
dashed madly back the way she

went.

THE GREAT DAY.
Theresa had been taking care Of
little Arthur for several months
when the first stages of spring
began to show in the city squares.
''Ah, the winter was almost over
now" sighed Theresa happily,
and soon everything would be
touched with green--the most
beautiful color in the world in
Theresa's eyes. 1t was the color
for st. Patrick's Day, too, and
that would soon be here.
Then clustering and changeable.
with a sparkle of sunshine and q
dash Of snow, st. Patrick's Day
had arrived. Theresa's sad little
heart beat jubilantly again. and
fastening on her coat a piece Of
the brightest green ribbon she
could find, she took little Arthur
and went out to the park to cele-
brate the day.

Date Set for March 3. Court
Refusing to Grant Cope
land New Trial.

Herman L., alias Herbert l..
Copeland, colored. convicted of kill
ing Lieut.. David T. DUNCAN, May
81. 1918, at 400 Carrollburg street
southwest, the home of Copeland 9
half brother, was today sentenced
by Justice Bailey in Criminal Court
No. / to be hanged March 3. 1924.
The accused had nothing to say
when asked by the clerk of the
court whether he had anything to
say. A wan smile crossed Cope
lands face when Justice Bailey
pronounced his doom. The prisoner
was taken back to the cellrooni
guarded by three deputy marshals.
Counsel for Copeland made mo-
ton flor a new trial, stating that
there was something theatrical about
the trial, the atmosphere of which
was bound to penetrate the mind
of the jurors. The prisoner, argued
the accused's counsel, was taken to
and from Jail under heavy guard;
the curtains of the court room
where the trial took place were
drawn to shut out the glances OF
the curious who were massed in
the corridors to have a look at the
accused.
1t was also argued that Assistant
District Attorney Emerson, VINO
prosecuted the case, in his address
to the jury made the statement
that Copeland if he had chance
would shoot every man on the jury,
giving the impression that the ac-
cused was an insane criminal who
was out to kill any one on sight
Copeland's lawyer said that the
whole trial looked like moving
picture affair.
Justice Bailey in denying a new
trial said that the accused had q
fair trial and that the jury under
stood that the remarks nf the as
sistant District attorney about shoot
ing had no bearing on their de;
alterations. An exception to the
COURTS ruling was taken.
