The association OF the rabbit or hare with
Easter has its foundations In the ancient be
lief in European and AsIatic countries that the
hare is the symbol for the moon. The moon is
the "open-eyed watcher OF the night" and the
hare Is a nocturnal animal The young OF the
hare are born with their eyes open and are said
never TO close them. Since the date OF Easter is
governed by the moon. II is easily seen how the
rabbit which is the symbol for the moon, came
TO be an Easter symbol also.
As for the egg. the Egyptians regarded II as an
emblem OF the recreation OF things and OF mems
regeneration and associated II with the worship
the Greeks Romans and Teutons with their god
desses who were the objects OF their veneratIon
In spring festivals.
Then. too. the egg with its life germ destined
70 produce a living creature when warmed by
the mother hen is easily associated with the idea
Of the earth blossoming forth under the warm
rays OF the sun IN the spring both closely akin
to the general idea OF resurrection. Since the
resurrection Of Christ occurred in the spring.
Il is easy 10 see how the symbols OF the egg and
all revived life In the springtime came to be
associated with this event In the history OF
Christianity. The egg as a symbol was taken
over by the Hebrews as an emblem OF their de-
livery from bondage and next the early Christ
ans took It over as their symbol OF the resur-
reCtion.
Mention OF the Hebrews makes appropriate at
this point comment on the fact that the fes-
tival now known as Easter was celebrated by

Egotism Marked Trait
of Criminal Element

A great writer has affirmed that
fraudulent financiers and embezzlers
are generally fat, and quotes Jabez
Belfour, Whitaker Wright and Ho-
ratio Bottomley. "The bogus agent,
the shady money leader, and all their
kidney, are generally well-clothed in
flesh.''
Be that, as it may, all authorities
are combined to assert two universal
characteristics of the criminal: enor-
nous vanity and an insensibility to
pain. AS to the first trait, some of
the most notorious murderers have
been eager to see what the newspa-
pers said about them. Lacenaire,
cold-blooded assassin, complacently
told his guardians that he had given
the papers something to write about
The same thing is seen in crimi-
nails other than killers. The success
full robber swaggers and boasts; he
speaks contemptuously about people
who are "fools enough to work."
He is touchy and quarrelsome, and
very sensitive to ridicule. All this
springs from egotism, and egotism
gives birth to crime.
AS to insensibility to pain, it is
notorious that criminal sentenced
to the lash will bear a punishment
which would kill an ordinary man.
Thieves and burglars hurt in their
felonious operations will conceal
their injuries with a stoicism impos-
sible to an honest man. And the
Spartan bearing of condemned MUIR
derers has often been the subject of
remark.

of turning purple with anger and blus-

he swung the lantern in his free hand

Judging from the sounds Of whoopee

David Schuyler seized the bottle
"Wait till you see the whites of his

The light touch eased the tension.
Gerard had been so angry that he
wouldn't have cared where or how he
hit; now his mouth was stretched in
a grin. His muscles frightened. Who
was coming?

The sharp call was barely audible
above the din in the bunk-house. Jim

dropped the bottle. 1t cracked like a
pistol shot.
"Rod! Rod! It's Jim! Put up

Gerard laughed as Armstrong; face
shone weirdly white in the glare of
the roadster's lights.
