HIS TENDER CARE.

\ night that had seemed inter-
mInable to those who waited and
watched for the coming Of dawn.
It came in a crescendo Of golden
gplendor as the sun rose higher
IN the heavens; and the singing
OF birds amid the ivy seemed to
mock the poor cold clay that lay
motionless upon the bed.
In another room, over break

Vickers, JefEeries, and Enderby

seemed almost recovered from the
murderous attack that had been
made upon him the night before.
He was pale, but he had insisted,
upon leaving his bed. He refused
to be what he called "moilycod-
died."
1t was Mary Vickers who re-
peated question that had been
often asked in those long hours
that followed the death Of Abra-
ham Steel.
II wonder what the poor man
meant by the cupboard up
stairs'?" she inquired.
Luke Jefferies glanced at the
girl with thoughtful eyes. She
was very pale, with dark pur-
plish shadows beneath her eyes,
but she carried herself bravely.
Il don't know what Steel
meant" he answered slowly. "As
you have seen for yourself, there
are no cupbcards upstairs, and
there are certainly no note
books"
Perhaps he said downstairs =
suggested Enderby.
In any case We have searched
every cupboard in the house
thoroughly, and there are no
notebooks Of any description, "
said Jefferies.

Causes Of disparity between load

traced to really influences. A per-

own exercise of authority are very
much determined by his attitude

''Challenge to Decency"
Editorial Approved
To the Editor of The Star :


You are to be congratulated for your
excellent editorial in yesterday eve
ning's issue relative to the attempts
being made to return q certain screen
star who made himself obnoxious to
the public several years ago by his in
decent and inhuman behavior.
Evidently a move is being made to
get this actor back. One of the local
theaters this week is displaying a film
in which he appears, a comedy on Car
men. 1t is advertising itself as
medium to bring back the best of the
former films, but it certainly is an
affront to cleanminded and decency-
loving people to have this film brought
back, and certainly no theater that
lends itself to the plan can be con-
sidered a proper place for persons
with high ideals.
A great deal of criticism is being
handed about as to the behavior Of the
youth of today. Who should make the
world safe for youth if not older peo-
pie, and how can they do 1t in a better
way than by refusing to permit OBJ
Ject1onable. moving pictures? 1t Is high
time that our elders awoke to their
responsibility in such. matters, and 1t
is to be hoped that the people OF
Washington who care what happens
to youth will rise up in their might
and say, This thing shall not be done.'
Nothing could be more insulting to
Washington people than to have this
person appear personally at one Of our
theaters.
Let us begin now to make Washing
ton safe and decent city, an example
to all the country. J. G. GRAY.
