We feel sure—that they do not know that there are hun- dreds of worthy mothers in Florida who are just struggling to keep their little ones alive—and at home. We just cannot believe—that with these facts true—and every orphanage in Florida crowded to the doors—that the people of Florida will let our great work which has cared for 850 of these little ones this year alone—go down for lack of funds to keep it up.

His face was distorted, his eyes blased with a lurking insanity, his fingers writhed as though they would clutch the throat of Vincent Barrows and choke the life qut of him. The latter placed a friendly, kind- ly hand upon the arm of the other. Rood shook it off wrathfully. The last glance he bestowed on Vincent as he turned away made him shudder. “Too bad!” reflected Vincent. “I don’t doubt that he loved Leonie, and I am sorry for him. It was a fair contest, though—more than- fair. I went away to give him his chance. He never had any, it seems, for Leonie loved me all along. She would SEEIOPEEPEELE5 15 HIEEIPOSIHIIPIIIS LI I RIS BP0 not marry him if he was the last man in the world. He knows that, yet— how the poor fellow hates me!” So it seemed, and o it was. Both men were rich as wealth went in the cattle belt. Rood was the elder of the two, and was a widower. He was cynical and imperious, and set on an object, usually gained it. His lack of encouragement from Leonie had soured him. . Then to disappointment succeeded the dark resolve that it the pretty belle of the town did not, marry him, she should not wed his rival.

The disturbed vines beneath the window warned of an intruder. Vincent decided that there had been a burglarious visit during his absence. He went around to the front door house. On tiptoe he proceeded through the various rooms. study. As he glanced in he observed dining room the silverware was undis- turbed. There was a rustling sound in the kitchen. He proceeded thither. His back to him, a man wearing the striped garb of a convict was putting some foreign spirit?” on an old suit of clothes Vincent used when he worked around the gar- den. On the table was half a dry loat of bread the intruder had been eating, as if very hungry. “Well, my friend, what does this mean?” The stranger turned in a flash, fully startled.

One evening he was called over the telephone by Rood. He found the latter in a strange mood. The dole- ful tragedy he was playing out was psychopathic laboratory of the Chicago municipal court. “1 know a case of n | = feeble minded boy who had a mania for starting fires.

His eyes were blood- shot with a dreadful resolve. “You are doomed!” he hissed to h] visitor, throwing over a chair wi a crash. Then aloud, he shouted at the top of his voice: “Ah, Barrows! you threaten me, eh? Hands off, you scoundrel—would you murder me!" l Suppose the lad, after you set him at his new work in which you think his, perverted instincts will be turned to happy uses, decides not to follow out the puth you have marked for him? ~ In this case, as in so many others, it 1s dangerous to reason from the par- ticular to the general.

Then follows, in many instances, a case of the square peg in the round hole, of wasted energy and money, of disappointment for all concerned. Of course— Deciding on the future of children is a hard problem. Possibly the best way is to begin very early in the child’s life to study his inclination and capact- tles and direct his education with a view to developing them.
