Here was a man whim dictated, arrested people be- cause they would not do something unlawful. And the police, instead of Jeing instruments of the law, were un- der the direction of this boss. "Can't the law touch him?" asked. "Huh! He's the law in this town." "Do you mean to tell me thera is a man so base," demanded the daughter of David Kerr indignantly, "this boss, that spends his tithe : collecting this money Little Ella had come to realize soon after they had met that she was deal- ing with a fledgling. Hence she bore with her and answered her question patiently, "Gosh! Little time he spends col lecting money down here." Her tone Indicated clearly that he upent "no time at all. "What's the cops fer?

"Gimme & drink 0° wa- ter, will you? I never was so dry at a Dutch piente." Gloria poured a glass of. water for her.

She shook Little Ella into a con- scious state and repeated the question. "Which David Kerr is 1t?" "There's only one I know of," an- swered Ella. "He's got a real estate office on Fifth street." "What!" The net of circumstances was be ing drawn tighter and tighter about one man, and that man her father. "Are you sure he's the man, girl?" Gloria asked the question in as sub- dued a manner as possible. Suddenly she had become afraid. She did not wish to arouse suspicion. "Sure, he's the man." It tried one's patience to be roused from sleep, and then to meet with contradiction was enough to make oue petulant. To set. tie the question so that she could go back to sleep, little Ella added: "Look on my bureau and you'll see TILL LAST "MY COMRADES DIED ; LIKE HEROES" "We're in God's Hands," Said Lost Father to Son Béfore the End Montreal, June 1.--Standing with athletic ease, young Ensign Pug- wire, of Toronto, calmly told the tale to his tearful friends who' asked for the ldst tidings of their beloved Com- missioner Rees when he arrived from Qu¥bec, In describing his impres- gions more in detail, Ensign Pugmire said that there was no shock at the time of the collision. "1 heard a grazing sound 'as if we were touching a berg," he gaid, "and as the sount continued I went up on deck, eurious to see wha was wrong. I never got back to my cabin, The lifebelts were all there, The ship was already listing over dangerously. 34 was all the work of a moment. "Yes, there were a number of pas- sengers on deck with me at the time, but when I looked over my shoulder as I grabbed the rail, I could see the gangways jammed with people. 1 passed Major Simcoe's berth going up and asked her if she was not com- ing. She teld me to leave her and find out what the matter was. Her yody was among the first 'picked up on shere. ' "Shouting? None at all. Every me was orderly and quiet. No one had time to realize what was going on, We could not launch the boats because we could hardly stand up, so heavy did the list become. We had to take the side, and only the swim- ners' like myself are left of those ~ho went over with me. "I saw Commissioner Rees when he ran back to get his wife. Major Frank Morris tried hard to save him, for he carried him on his shoulders as long as he could. Morris was a hero. "There was an explosion just as the ship went down, and that must have killed hundreds outright, The shock of it blew Morris right over- board. Morris' arm wis badly seald- ed with the steam, "We saw the ship heeling over when we were in the water, but there was no outcry until shé had disap- peared. The swimmers then shouted to attract the lifeboat. that was -al- ready coming. My comrades died like Salvationists." A further impression the ecivilian- 'lad ensign told was regarding the sudden listing. "I believe the majority of the peo- ple on deck fell to the other. side helplessly, and the boat rolled over them when sinking)"' he said. The satisfaction of Bandsman Green of the Salvation Army in find- ing himself alive and without a scratch is a meagre one, clouded by the lossof his father, Adjutant Green, his mother and his sister Jessie. No Great Blow Fell "It was not a great blow we felt," he volunteered. "Just a little jar. = You could not say that it was severe, 'a program of the Dave Kerr Demmy- § not enough to throw you against the cratic club ball." Gloria walyed over to the bureau with its jumble of odds and end; and began to turn over the things me- chanically. "No, not that. Look behind that photygratt. That's it, That's his pic ture on the front." Gloria gave one look, was that of her father. For a time Little Ella chnttered drowsily, but Gloria did not hear. She was prostrated hy a grief that numbed her every faculty. The foundation of her faith had been swept away. What she belield seemed to burn it- self into her brain. On the cover of the program were the words: "Annual Ball. David Kerr Democratic Club," and the picture of her father. It was the truth; her father was the boss of Belmont. So different was her posi tion from that pinhacle on which she had thought herself to be that the whale world would have to go through 4 revolutionary orfentation. There was nothing in her life which would not have to be adjusted anew because of this revelation. As she turned the pages of the pro gram, pages filled with liguor and sa- loon advertisements, her - thoughts were all of herself. Resentment and anger there were, directed toward her father, but now in the first moments when she saw herself as Belmont saw her humiliation conquered all other emotions. Her first thought of Joe Wright was that he had kept the truth from her. She could not grow more sick at heart, comparatively feeling was out of the question because she wis completely crushed; but she saw as in a book that had been written and laid away as finished, the sacrifice he had made for her, the supreme re nuncistion he had made because he would not denounce her father before ploture ber. The thought of how different her home-coming had been from 'what she had plhpned made her I hysteric- én when she the few staunch friends, she had made she clutched wildly at the hopo that after all it was untrue. "It's a lie, every word of it, & Me his enemies Invent. What big man but has about him envious prick and sting? Judge Gilbért, Mr. Kendall, Doctor Hayes, they'll all sap that he-<Joe Wright!

But we guessed when the engines stopped and then began to go again fast, that something had happened. I tell you that to get out was like climbing up 1 straight wall, the Empress listed to. "And then, when she sank, I could think of nothing but 4 village sud- denly flooded and all the people floating in the water. It was awful to see those faces bobbing up and down with the ship gone underneath and only water, "But a wonderful thing happened. You know it is not light at that time in the morning and when we were thrown out it was quite dark. But all of a sudden it got light very quickly and we could see well.

BECKER FAUES SCHMIDT In the Death House at sing-Sing, New York * Ossining, N.Y., June 1. Charles BE. Becker has passed for the second time into the death house at Sing Sing prison to: await death in the electtie chair for instigating the mur der of HermanJRosenthal. The prisose¥"s counsel will ap- peal, however, and this serves as a stay of execution. Many months will elapse before the court of appeals hands down its decision. In his for- mer appeal. Hecker won a cecond trial. 4 The prisoner was assigned toscell 17 in the second tier. The green screens in front of all the cell doors in the death house were drawn when he entered. When they were lifted Becker found that his cell faced that of Hans Schmidt, the discredited priest, who murdered Anna Aumul- ler in New York and then threw her dismembered river. 5 Schmidt greeted Becker, but none of the seventeen other occupants of the death house spoke a word. As Warden Claney left him Becker remarked: "The death house doesn't look like the old plac en. The new coat of paint ma look fine." Mrs. Becker visited her husband yesterday and brought home a suit- case full of legal documents books. Becker has begun work on his appeal. Blind of Japan Well Carved For From very ancient times the blind folk of Japan have received much attention, though they were never wade the wards of the nation to the extent that olggined in the west un- der later Olfristian influence. The fact that blindness entitled a man to be raised to special rank may be taken as evidence of this care, It is recorded that about the year 886 A.D., when the Emperor Koko pald a visit to a certain place he was received by a company of blind men, whose condition much moved the compassion of his majesty, Not long after this the emperor gave orders that a, row of yenements should « be constructed in Kyoto, where (tlie homeless blind might find shelter; and the blind were thenceforth rank ed as a separate class, entitled to special privilege.-- Japan Magazine.
