In any case, & wave is too vio lent to last long. A widespread spirit of lawlessness, or & general con- tempt for authori- ty, on the other hand, goes on unnoticed and unchecked, until its very victims be- come callous, and the common safeguards of civilization are sub- merged, Evidences of such a reckless spirit abound at the present moment in all grades of our metropolitan population. They are most flagrant in the very quarters where social anarchy can work the greatest harm to the greatest number of people. The daily news columns teem with specific instances proving the prevalence of a kind of chronic lawlessness or criminal laxness in the enforcement of the fundamental principles of law and order. Even our laudable “safe and sane” Fourth of July, ae the full) returns come in, appears to have been eanely commemorated in spots only. The official records actually show a marked increase in the number of casualties. Although the sale of explosives was supposed to he prohibited, there were fifty-three victims of fireworks | d powder—an incrense of six over last year’s list. Although the rrying or use of firearms is strictly interdicted, forty-three per- fons were wounded by pictols, either with bullets or blank cartridges.

A. Jones and H. Herman. | W ILFRED DENVER was broke—dead broke. Also he was deep in dobt and had every prospect of seeing his wife and their two little children etarve to death because of his own misdeeds, For Denver was a drunkard and a plunging, unlucky gambler. He adored Nelly, his sweet young wife, but he had not the firmness to sta; straight for her sake. The climax came when he backed the wi«@ horse ‘tn the Derby and got crazy drunk to celebrate his ba@ Mrtune, While h ‘was in this condition he chanced to theet Geofrey Ware, a former eultor for Nelly’s hand. Ware sneered at Nelly for having rejected him for a sot like Denver. Wilfred drew a revolver, in a rush of drunken rage, and vowed to kill Ware. The latter got away, but Denver declared he would | follow Geoffrey home and murder him. Other men besides Wilfred Denver were interested in Geoffrey Wate | that evening. They were a gang of thieves, headed by Capt. Skinner, who | was known as “The Spider.” Skinner and his gang had arranged to rob Ware's house that night. Early in the evening they took advantage of Geoffrey's absence from home to make their way into his rooms and to begin their stealthy task of breaking open his eafe Soarcely had they set to work when there wae a clamor at the front door. Denver, still drunk, and thirsting to avenge the insult to Nety, burst inte the room in search of Ware, Skinner ordered all lights put out. Then, ae the druna- ard reeled in, the gang seized and cltoroformed Denver into senselessness and left him lying on the floor while they continued their efforts to force the safe. But a mom later Ware came in and surprised the robbere at their work. Before Geoffey could give the alarm the “Spider shot him dead with | the revolver Wilfred had been brandishing. Then, horrified at the crime, the tht anenked away through @ window, leaving Ware and Denver—one dead, | the other unconsctous—lying there alone in the dark. | Slowly, Witfrea Denver came to his senses, There, at hin feet, lay Geoffrey | Ware—murdered. By the dead man's side lay Denver's own revolver, one cart- | ridge fired. Wuitred remembered coming to the house drunk and thireting for | Ware's life. He now supposed, in the horror of the moment, that he had shot Geoffrey Guring that fit of wrathful drunkenness, Too late he saw the wreck he had made of his career, He saw how his own reckless folly had made him throw away wealth, love, happiness, the w nd good name of his family, and that he now was forever branded ae a murderer. In an agony of remorse over this tast fatal step he cried aloud: “Oh, Goa! Put back Thy universe and give me—YPSTHRDAY!" | Hastening home he bade farewell to Nelly and the chiliren, leaving them ‘in the charge of Jaikes, an old family eervant. Then, just as detectives reachea | the house in search of him he escaped. The train on which Denver was supposea “Give Me Yesterday!” |to be riding was wrecke’,. Wilfred was reported among those killed. and every | one delfeved that the gallows had thus been cheated of its prey. | Four years passed. Nelly and her children were in bitter poverty.

The whole world shall not stop me now!” Skinner, belleving that his fellow criminals would back up his etory, de- nounced Denver as the mayer of Ware, and bade Baxter (the detective who had worked for years on the case) to arrest the munlerer.
