Another Scion Aims to
Protect Shaky Morals
From SalaciOus Prints

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. ia new
attempt to muzzle free speech was
made today in the form of bill in
troduced in the state legislature by
Assemblyman Hofstadter, a New
York republican.
"This bill," declared the lawmaker,
lis in no sense a censorship mea-
sure. 1t is merely designed to put
teeth in the present law, which vir-
tually has become a dead letter as a
result of interpretations placed on
decisions by the higher courts"
Getting Monotonous
Bills of this kind have been in
PRODUCED with monotonous regularity
during the past four years, but they
have always been defeated. The pre-
sent measure which, according to the
assemblyman, is aimed at "obsence
prints and publications." is said to
be not so drastic as the so-called
"clean books" bill which has met de-
feat a number of times.
Old time members of the legislature
are reported to have expressed the
belief that this bill has a better
chance of passage in view of the pre-
sent moralistic campaign against the
theatres in New York City.

a story fixed up to leave them help
less. He could say that Dad had
given him the securities, and how
could they disprove it? He could
say that Dad had taken the securi-
ties, unknown to his partner, and
lost the money on the stock market
how could they disprove that?
Even if they traced the sales of
Dads securities through Verne's
brokers, they would gain nothing,
because Verne could say that he
had turned over the money to Dad,
or that he had been authorized to
invest it, and had lost it-a hun
bred different tales he could invent!
"Then we've simply got to take
what that scoundrel allows u.s."
cried BERTHE; and the lawyers
agreed that was the situation. Be
ing themselves on a percentage
basis, their advice was sincere!
Then an incident that multiplied
the bitterness between BERTHE and
her brother. Bunny went to the
storage warehouse where his be-
longings had been put away, and in
an atlas that his father had oc-
casionally consulted be came upon
five liberty bonds for ten thousand
dollars each. It was some money
Dad had been keeping handy-pos-
sibly to bride the officers in case
he should be caught; anyhow, here
it was, and Bunny would have been
free to consider it a part of the
million which Dad had tried to give
him in Paris. But he haughtily
decided that he would not join in
plundering the estate; he would
turn the bonds in, to be counted as
part of the assets.
But he made the mistake Of tell
ing BERTHE about it--and oh, what
a riot! The imbecile, to make
Alyse and her lawyers a present of
twenty-five thousand dollars! In
stead of quietly dividing with his
sister, and holding his mouth! That
twenty-five thousand became to
BERTHE a thing of more Importance
than all the millions that Verne
had got away with; these bonds
were something tangible-or al
most tangible-until Bunny took
them out of her reach, and made
them a present to those greedy vul-
lures! And right when both of
them needed cash, and were having
to go to one of their fathers bank
ers to borrow money on the basis
of their claims to the estate.
BERTHE raved and stormed, and
Bunny, to get it over with, took
the bonds to the bank and turned
them in; and after that BERTHE
never forgave him, she would men
ton his imbecility every time they
were alone. She was making her
self i'll with all this hatred and
tuning; she would sit up half the
night porting over figures, and then
she couldn't sleep for excitement.
Like all young society ladies, she
set much store by the freshness of
skin and it's freedom from wrinkles;
but now she was throwing away
her charms, and making herself
pale and haggard. In after years
she would be going to beauty spe-
cialists and having the corners of
her mouth lifted, and the skin of
her face treated with chemicals and
peeled off-because now she could
not control her fury of disappoint-
ment, that she was to get only a
paltry one or two million, instead of
the glorious ten or fifteen million
she had been confident of some day
possessing.
