BY THOMAS R. HENRY. “E'en though it be & cross.” Peter was one of the worst problem children the District schools have known in recent years. Harold D. Fife, principal of the Gales Special School, has a stack of letters in his desk about the child. Some ex- press unmitigated disgust; others sym- pathy, but hopelessness. Peter had been tried with all sorts of teachers. The strict disciplinarians found him unman- ageable and dangerous. The gentle, motherly kind wasted their tenderness. The mental research department classi- fied him as a dullard. Peter was ragged, dirty and a thief. His adolescent mind was a sewer of filthy thoughts. Girls weren't safe in the same room with him. When he was™ asked a question he would reply with a string of oaths and nastiness that would have shocked a mule driver. He took no interest in anything offered by the schools, He was an habitual truant. Here, it seemed, there was a congeni- tal delinquent, if such a creature ever existed. As a last resort Peter was transferred to the Gales Special School. He was a stubborn case. Week”after week Fife tried to find some point of contact with whatever spark of goodness there might be in the child. His personality was smpenetrable Even among the prob- lem cases he was outstandingly bad. Nothing could be found which inter- ested him upon which to condition other interests. Here at last, exceptional case where his thwrlu didn’t work. Tried to Make Friends. Day after day the teacher talked with the boy on his own level and tried to make friends with . The net re- sult apparently was only a slight les- sening of the animosity which the child felt for all teachers and all authority. ‘That point of contact in the child’s personality with decency and aspira- tion whjch Fife thinks exists some- where in every one could not be located and there seemed no alternative but to abandon him to a reform school—and probably to a succession of prisons after that—for the protection of aoclety Sudf!&ly strangely, beautifully, came Peter had been showing the world an artificial, se]f-cmted shell of a per- real self—a h!ghly spiritual, luminous, saintly self with Christlike elements about it. He came to Fife's desk after school one afternoon. Query About Cross. “Yer know dem crosses dey sticks on de stiffs out in Arlington?” he “Well, what T wants to know is how much the things costs.” m;'lkdon't know—cbvut $50, I should n] Fife noticed the bay‘s face fall. “As much as that? but “Yes. You might make one out of ‘Could I make one?” “I should think you could. I'd lulp you some. Why are you interested in crosses, Peter?” The old look of hostility came over Peter’s face at this question. The teacher saw that he had made a mis- take, that it was too soon to ask. ;:ll want to make a cross,” the boy said. Fife took him to a room downstairs where there was some lumber and a few tools. He showed him rapidly how day. January 19, 1929. 895" orelock .

WOODEN CROSS BARES SOUL OF MOST INCORRIGIBLE BOY monuments and crosses. Each of these pilgrimages only made him worse. He would get even—the boy would clinch his fists and curse the Lord in Heaven— he would get even with a world which had treated his mother like this. Over her nameless grave glgmlsed to get ever. sle was word, ‘The father was a well meaning man, but his thoughts were with the living and not the dead. His slender wage barely sufficed to feed thie hungry mouths dependent on him. He tried to clothe them decently and made a ter- rible job of it, to judge by Peter. Not Hungry or Cold. Every time the boy had suggested that a headstone be placed over his mother the father had dismissed the idea rather curtly. She was dead, wasn't she? She wasn’t hungry or cold any more. She was comfortable enough there is the ground. Why bother with her when the kids needed clothes? He was not an unkindly man, but he had no motherliness about him. He was too tired to mother the kids when he came back from his day’s work. ‘The human touch had cone out of Peter's life the day his mothers body in a bare wooden box had befn carried out of the door of the shack where they lived. ‘The spiritual, Christ-like Peter had gone out of the skinny, unwashed little hody and crept into the coffin. There all these years he had snuggled in her arms. The r dead woman had crooned to her baby there in the grave- the boy went to the lumber room, nhut himself in and worked. He made many mistakes. There was much to be done °""k' But he seemed absorbed in his work. Never before had Peter shown any mechanical interests. For the first time thing had been found which kept him out of mischief. Fife visited him every day and Peter rather resented this coaching, but he listened and profited by it. He grew more and more friendly with the teacher. Finally Fife judged that the time was ripe to try once more to go a little deeper. “Peter, you've never told me why you interested in crosses,” he said. “Oh, didn’t I? ‘Well, you see, it's like this—" A marvelous transformation had come over the dirty, foul-mouthed boy in that moment. His mother had died 10 years before, leaving his father, a poor day laborer, with a large family. Outline of Stones. The family was poor. The mother had been buried in a corner of one of the Washington cemeteries. They had put no headstone over her grave. 1460, | Brush and weeds had grown over it. The poor woman was cast utterly out of the world’s memory. But there was an outline of stones around the space into which her coffin ?hzd been lowered. Peter had put them ere. Twice a year little Peter had trudged to the cemetery and filled in the gaps in that outline of stones. He had been doing this, unknown to any one else, all the time that his school teachers had been calling him the worst boy in Washington. He had been doing this all the time that his tongue was so filthy that the most hardened teachers, men and women. couldn’t endure lis- tening to There he would kneel in the long grass, replacing the scattered stones. momel’s of other little bo)’l. rose The Brighton 2123 California St. N.W.

Peter was in his mother’s args in her nameless grave. Fife gave the boy money to finish the cross, to buy paint and other trim- mings. It was a work of art when it was done. There was a soul in it. One day the teacher and the boy ‘went out together and cleared away the weeds from the grave. But for the setting up of the cross Peter went alone one Sunday. Cross of Gold. “It looks better than any of the others in the cemetery,” he said when he came to school the next morning. “Do you think she knows about it? Do you think she will like it because it's wood and not stone?” “That cross is made of gold, Peter,” the teacher sald. “She will known it is made of gold.” So the soul of Peter was raised from his mother’s gnve on the cross his hands had carved. He has never glven any trouble since. “I have known many boys,” says Mr. Fife, “but I never knew another so spiritually-minded as Peter is today. He is all spirit. And he is the one boy ;ent here for whom nobody had any ope.” Fife hesitates to psycho-analyze this mge case of dual personality in a One school would explain it perhaps in terms of mother fixation twisted in some curious way. Another wo\.]d find an_inferiority complex—the motherless child, whom the world so despised that it would not even accord his mother the poor honor of a cross over her grave, developing a superjority complex in compensation which drove him to make the world pay attention to him by the very extent of his depravity, the way which offered the llne of least resistance at the time. But the mystic would find here the symbols of holy and unseen things—of | A Christ descending into hell at the be- hest of the Holy Mother. Perhaps all are right. Who knows?

Young Employe Is Sought for Dual Slaying—New Auto- mobile Is Missing. | By the Assoclated Press. CANAL FULTON, Ohio, January 7.— John Oser, 30-year-old Canal Fulton , dairyman, was shot and killed, and his wife, Mrs. Bertha Oser, was beaten to death late Saturday night at their farm home, near here. The double slaying was discovered yesterday morning, when the Osers’ six-year-old son, George, awakened to find the house empty. The boy found the body of his father in a milk shed with a bullet wound in the temple. He notified neighbors, and men, who returned with him found the body of Mrs. Oser, clad only in a nightgown, on_ a rock pxla behind the garage. Her head had been battered | with stones. A young man whom Oser employed last Tuesday to work about the farm is missing. So is the new automobile which the family purchased recently. Except for the theft of the automo- bile, no motive for the double slaying could be established. OPERETTA IS POSTPONED. %..
