MAGISTERIAL SCORN FOR

Morris Refuses to Commit Man Be
cause of Conditions There.
Magistrate Morris, at the 26th and York
streets station, today refused to commit
a man to the Philadelphia Hospital on
tho ground that the system there is "no
system at all." The prisoner was Margin
Malonc, of 2332 Hazzard street, accused
of assault and battery on his sister,
Anna. His mother testified that she
thought the young man's reason was Im
paired and suggested that he be sent to
tho hospital,
"There's no use In sending him to the
Philadelphia Hospital," said the Magis

ntUhe Houso of Correction, which Is more
'than r care to say for tho Philadelphia
Hospital. The system there Is like nearly
all other Institutions under Philadelphia
.officials at the present time, and that Is
nd system at all."
Police Court Chronicles
President 'Wilson's neutrality proclama
tion made a deep Impression upon Patrol
man Storey, of the 20th and Buttonwood
streets station, and as an officer of the
taw he Is determined that It shall be en
forced. He was contemplating various prob
lems of statesmanship while patrolling
his beat at 19th and Hamilton streets,
when he was confronted by a situation
lor which there was no precedent In his
(3 n
long career as a policeman. Surrounded
by a crowd of at least 20 boys and girls
was a, water trough. Where the head of
a hqrse ought to have been was the head
of a man. A second Jater a face emerged
from the water.
After consulting page 32 of the police
manual. Storey decided that he had a
legal light to lay his hand upon the ec
centric citizen. The citizen then became
Indignant.
"Don't Interfere with me, officer." he
commanded. "I am a German subma
rine," and the head darted again Into the
water. "You have no rleht In neutral
waters," Insisted Storey, and when the
head again appeared above water an en
thusiastic argument ensued which In
volved international law, the advantages
of open-air bathing, veterinary medicine
and hygiene
The submarine was soon towed Into dry
a??k i0J re,nlr- Magistrate Beaton deT
elded that there was no treaty governing
such an-unusual case and he granted
clearance papers. The vessed bore the
name of Samuel Griffith, of Pittsburgh.

"Cee whiz, but I hate like the Dickens
to give this to that girl! It makes the
second one she's got In two weeks, and
the way she looked when 1 gavo her the
last one nlmoat broke me up In business "
Phil Estabrooke slackened his brisk pace,
and looked ruefully at the letter he held
In his hand. It was a narrow, long,
brown envelone with "Miss Edith Webb"
written on It In prim feminine script. '"I
suppose she's got to know It some time,
though, so I might as well hurry up and
have It over with. There she Is now,
watching for me."
Tho postman went ud the stens of a
Miabby-tooklng boarding house, the last
house In his route. At the open door
stood a slender girl with eager, ex
pectant eyes.
"Any letter for me, .Mr. Estabrooke?"
she asked.
"Yes, this belong to you, Miss "VVebb."
Phil held out the long envelope.
The light In the girl's face faded.
"Thank ou," she said, making an evi
dent effort to appear grateful.
"Excuse me, Miss Webb," began Phil
hesitatingly, "I don't mean to pry Into
your prlvato nltalrs-but It ls-lsn'l It
a story?"
Tho girl nodded, her sensitive faco
mi fining,
"I know It was. I've delivered too
many of them not to know one when I
seo It."
"Oh," exclaimed tho girl In surprise,
"do other pcoplo get them, tooT"
"Well, I guess yen. Everybody that
writes gets turned down somo times, so
I wouldn't tako It so to heart If 1 was
you. You ntn't been in the business
long, havo you?"
"Only since I came hero to tho city,
six months ago You see, I don't know
very much about writing, and I Blip,
pose that's why I get discouraged easy "
"How did j,oU happen to take It up,
Miss Webb?" Phil slipped tho strap of
the mall bag off his shoulder and stood
leisurely fanning himself with his hat
"Last winter when my father died I
was left nil alono." Tho girl's voice
tromblcd, but sho went bravely on, "and
there wasn't much money. 'So I had to
do something for a living. I didn't
know enough to teach and for a while
I couldn't think of anything to do I
tell you I got pretty worried In those
days wondering what would become of
me Then I thought of writing. You
see, thero had been a woman from tho
city boarding nt our house summers who
wrote for a living, nnd that's what made
mo think of it. Why, sometimes Bho'd
write a story in it day or two and Boll
It for nn much as $301 Just think of
that! Of course I didn't think I could
wrlto them as fast ns Bho did, but I
thought I ought to write at least ono a
month, and that Would give me money
enough to live on. When r was In school
my teachers used to say my compositions
were tho well, they used to say nice
things of them. So I thought I could
wrlto stories, for stories are a 'kind of
composition, you know. But I didn't
know editors kept sending them back.
They novcr sent any back to hor."
"Probably they did when she first be
gan to write," said Phil. "So you mUBt
keep a stiff upper Up, and somo day I'll
bring you an envelope with a check In It
that will bo worth waiting for."
"Do jou really suppose you will?" The
pathetic brown eyes of the girl looked ap
peullngly Into Phil's blue ones.
An tho days went by tho prophecy of
the postman was not fulfilled. Tho Ion,;
brown envelopes continued to come back
with unceasing regularity. With sinking
heart Phil saw tho hopo die out of the
girl's face.
At last he begged to see one of her
stories. Sho blUHhcd much and demurred,
but he Insisted, and finally went away
with the manuscript In his pocket.
Tho story was a mild little decoction
of commonplace, lacking the ono groat
eBentlal of a story, tho breadth of life
Phil, however, reading it with tho feeling
a devout man would, have In going
through tho church service, pronounced
it perfect
Phil reflected a minute. "Couldn't you
put a little more ginger In them?" ho
questioned.
"Dinger?" A look of utter bewilder
ment shadowed Edith's face.
"Why, yes; I mean moke your folks do
or say something they hadn't ought to.
You might make your men drink or smoke
In your stories. I've noticed lately that
seems to be mighty popular "
Encouraged and uplifted by Phil's en
comiums, a little later Edith evolved a
plot whloh, when confided to Phil, he pro
nounced a Jim-dandy. "If that don't
take," he exclaimed, "nothing will!"
"That is surely the best I've done yet."
said Edith. "If that comes back there'll
mo no use In my trying again. Do you
suppose they really will take It, Mr. Esta
brooko?" "Of course they will," loyally answered
Phil. "No editor In the United States
would turn down a story like that."
But one morning, about two weeks
later, the clerks In the city postofflce
were startled to hear something that
sounded suspiciously like an oath come
from the lips of Phil Estabrooke as he
assorted his morning mall.
Then his eyes softened. "Dear little
Innocent," he said, "she's up against It
this time sure. Wish she'd let me give
her a Job. Maybe I wouldn't like to
have her waiting for me In a. cosy little
home of our own when I got back from
my rounds each day. I'd bring her a
love letter occasionally that would make
the pink come to her cheeks, and when
ever she felt like writing, she could write
an answer to It"
As usual, Edith was waiting at the
door. Before she could speak Phil began.
"Good morning. Miss Webb. Ain't this
a roaster though? Guess the mercury
has been trying to climb out of the tube!
Can't you take pity on a poor fellow that's
been out In the hot sun all the morning
and ask him to come in and rest awhile?"
Phil tried to speak jestingly, but his
tone betrayed him.
Edith mechanically led the way Into the
dingy sitting room and closed the door.
"O, Mr. 'Estabrooke," alio said, catching
her breath, "It has come back, hasn't Jt"
Phil took the envelope from tho bag
and handed it to her, not trusting him
self to speak.
"This aettes It!" Edith leaned heavily
against the door, her face white and set.
"There's no use of my ever trying again,"
she Bald, speaking quietly but -with quiv
ering lips. "What can I do now?"
"You can marry me and then you won't
have ta worry any more about a Job,"
began Phil, but he stopped short at the
look on Edith's face.
"Mr. Estabrooke," she flashed out.
standing erect, "don't say another word!
Do you think I'd marry a man that asked
me JuSt out pf pity and to give me a Jqbr
I'd starve first'"
Phil laughed outright. " Why, Miss
Webb, you needn't ever think a man's
going to ask a girl that he doesn't want,
ta marry him out of pity. Wo mon ain't
(.built on that self-sacrificing plan. I
asKea you to marry me necause I love
you, and for no other reason. Don't you
believe me?" His honest eyes looked
eompelllngiy Into hers. "Do you suppose
you could ever lea'n to love me, Edith?"
Tha girl hesitated a moment, then she
aid la a half-whisper, "You have been
so ktud to me, Mr. Estabrooke that I'm

A little lattr when Phjt could talk

CHAPTEIt IX-(Contlnucd).
Maud stared blankly at her mother.
Within the last thrco days bIio had had
many surprises, but for this she was not
In the least prepared.
"You actually say you-that you want
mo to marry Gilbert Huron?" sho asked
Incredulously.
Tho oldor woman leaned back In her
chair, and blowing a cloud of smoko Into
tho air, watched It vanish abovo the
level of her head.
"As I told you," sho said In a matter-of-fact
voice, "you will have to marry
him. It's not a question of what I want
though I have no objection as far as
my own feelings arc concerned."
"I refuse to do so most emphatically,"
cried tho girl hotly, "and I fall to seo
any Tncans of making me. I do not care
two pins for Gilbert Huron" she snapped
her long fingers "I would almost rather
have married that Moor nt El Znrlll.
And I havo mado up my mind to marry
somo ono else.
"You will ruin us all If you do," said
Mrs. Plessey in a shaky voice.
Maud stood very still and looked at her.
"Mother," sho cried, "what do you
mean?"
Mrs, Plessey put both hands before her
eyes. A violent shlvor shook her slight
framo. "It's as I Bay, dear. You must
believe what I say. Gilbert haa been a
very good friend to us both bettor than
you think nnd ho may be a torrlblo
enemy. It's In his power to destroy m
absolutely. I heartily wish I do Indeed
that he had not token this fancy to you.
I had never oxpected that But now It
seems that you aro the one thing he
craveB and you would bo safo for over
if you married him."
Maud felt herself trembling also. "But,
mother," sho protested, "you must be
mad to talk like this. What hold can
Gilbert havo over us?" She, seemed to bo
puzzling out the question, her eyes staring
into vacancy. "If If he is In a position
to injure your reputation In any way,"
she went on, as a hateful possibility pre
sented Itself, "that gives him no power
over me. Oh, mother dear, tell me It Isn't
true! That It's not true you have put
yourself In that man's power7" She drop
ped on her knees beside her mother and
threw her. arms round her.
"Yes, I am In ills power always have
been and, always shall.be," sho said dully.
"If you don't accede to his wishes and
marry him he will do his worm and that
worst Is far more terrible than you can
conceive."
Maud pulled her mother's hands away
from her face and gazed into her eyes.
"This Is frightful," she cried. "You
must explain yourself, mother. What
have you done what have I done that you
should Bpenk like tnlsT xou must tell
me. I cannot endure this awful sus
pense." In her mother's eyes she read only des
pair nnd resolution born of despair "I
cannot tell you," said Mrs. Plessey dog
gedly; "It Is cruel to ask me. Something
dreadful happened years ago. What
was dono was done for your sake.
Gilbert has run risks, too. I was
weak; I was too fond of you and
you won't stretch out your little finger
to save me from ruin."
Maud sprang to her feet "You talk of
having committed crimes or Indiscretions
for my sake. I cannot In the least under
stand you. I have a right to know tho
extent of your claim on my gratitude. As
to Gilbert," she shuddered "the bare
notion of owing anything to him Is
hideous."
"I cannot tell you," repeated the older
woman. "You cannot expect roe to hu
miliate myself before my own child, I
know you havo not been a very affection
ate daughter, but I hoped that you would
have sufficient natural feeling to listen
to your mother's appeal."
She rose from her chair and stretched
out he arms In entreaty, "For my sake
Maud, marry that manl I haVo admitted
that I once cared for htm. Yqvi can guess,
then, what It costa mo to askr you thlsj"
And to Maud's horror her mother fell on
her knees and raised her clasped hands
to her.
''Get up, mother, for heaven'a sake!"
sho cried. She dragged the older woman
by main force to her feet "I don't knqw
why ypu called me an unattectlonate
daughter Just now," she went on bitterly.
"With the least encouragement from you
I would have been affectionate enough.
, . . But what you ask Is wrong and
Impossible, I have a right to ray own
lite. Why should I he sacrificed to pay
your debta to Gilbert Huron? H'a mon
strous; It's horrible. I love Martin Ar
rol, and I marry him or no one else."
She began to pace the room, furtoua
with anger. Her mother staggered to
ward the fireplace, and, clutching at the
tnantleplece, stood staring" Into the flames.
"I don't understand all this," went on
the girl "There Is some dreadful mys
tery here. Great heavens!" Bhe cried, as
a suspicion, awful Indeed, presented It
self. She went up to her mother, and,
Jeikjng up tier chin, looked Into her face.
"Has all this this secret anything to do
with my father'a death?"
Mrs. Plsstey Uosed her eyes and drew
In her breath, as If In aeute agony. She
seemed almost to faint Very gntly
Maud led her back to h.er chair and let
her slnk Ihto It. Then she stood over her
watching, her own heart beating pain
fully, her whole being sick with appre
hension. "You must answer me, mother," ahe
said firmly, an Mrs. Plessey opened her
eyes.
"What do you want to know?" asked
the c4dr wmmh faintly.
"Whether you war in any way respon
sible for my father deathl"
"What use would It be to aMtwer your
queetlonT You have resolved to do noth
ing to save roe. It does not matter what
I ba,v done I have told you tha one
way by which you can help o."
"Tbis la aot a time for avaalos," erU4
tha girt ejmUi4uiy I ruut ngj-r to
ntu of lb oerll Ui whlvh yo atasd
It Is awful that I should have to nsk
my mother such a qucstlon-'agaln, I nsk,
were you In any way responsible for my
father's death?"
For a moment Oracle Plessey's eyes
searched her daughter's face, then, her
lips drawn In, she seemed to consider
her course of -action. Bho enmo to n
swift decision.
"You shall havo your answer, then,"
she said; "I was In a largo measure re
sponsible for Admiral Plessey's death.
Ho was hot murdered there was n, strug
gle. Gilbert has known this att these
years If ho speaks or If this man Arrol
gets at tho truth It will mean penal
servitude for life for rae I did It for your
sake," ahe Added. She took out a laco
bordercd handkerchief nnd whimpered,
Maud went to tho other side of the
flro nnd sat down nnd looked at her.
She was wondering what effect Ihta reve
lation must have on her1, hdw she felt
noout it now. Her theory of the crime
was instantly formed. Her father had
surprised her mother with n lover, had
threatened thom, and In the struggle
the woman or tho other man had killed
him, Could that other man have been
Martin? No, sho recnlled his emphatic
denial. Sho believed him. Besides, then
her mother would havo been more
anxious to conciliate him than any one
else. Could It be Huron hlmsclt7 That
was Impossible, for then thn man could
not speak without putting tho rope round
his own neck. No, It was somo other
man. Who had fled Into tho unknown.
But Huron know nnd demanded hor
Muud-as tho price of his silence. It was
all clear to her.
"What do you mean by saying that you
did this for mo? that I am also In
Gilbert's power?" she asked suddenly nnd
harshly,
Mrs. Plessey went on whimpering. "I I
enn't very well explain. It would
bo dreadful if It were found out for you
ns well as me."
Maud leaned forward, her cheeks Test
ing on her hands, and thought again.
Sho fancied she had got at tho whole
truth. Her mother had tried to evade It
by making an appeal to her personal fear
and self-interest, nnd her talk of "doing
it for her sako" was merely a hastily
Invented excuse for her crime. She did
not bellevo that Gilbert could hurt hor
directly. It was unnecessary even to pre
tend that ho could, since ho had It In
his power to doom her mother tn nrlsnn
or pehaps the scaffold.
I won't tell you any moro about It,"
protestod Mrs. PleBScy, from behind her
handkerchief "It was cruel to wring
this from me."
"I don't want to hear any moro.
Gracious heavens, how aro you and I go
ing to live togothor now I know this?"
"I'm sure I don't want you to llvo with
mo. You never loved me. I don't
think I ever loved you. not since you
wero a tiny tot. You were very sweet
then. You are too much like your
father. Well, I havo thrown myself upon
your mercy. You can hang mo If you
like."
, "P0" Martin know tho truo story of
father's deoth, I mean?" asked Maud,
Ignoring her mother's hystorlcal talk.
"I don't know what Martin knows.
Somotlmes" viciously "I believe that he
was sent to spy on me."
"I believe It was you ho was shielding
at tho trial nt tho risk of his own llfo."
.tMl? P1cy laughed shrilly. "You
think he was In lovo with me then-he
also7"
Maud shuddered with disgust. After
such a confession her mother was sim
pering with vanity. She was pleased
wun me insinuation that ahe had more
iovcra man one.
,Th.8u ?.rl. r0Ba 'tvUh a shudder.
Mother," she said In a tense voice, "you
are a horrible woman I know now
why wo never loved each other. I'm glad
Wa Alii nnt '
'What do you mean what do you
mean?" Mrs, Plessey gripped her daugh
ter by the sleove. Terror, not shame, woa
In her face "Do you mean that you don't
care enough for me tn save me? Maud
you can't mean that! Remember that
when all Is said and done I am your
mother."
"I wish I could forcet it No. T m nn
going to expose you. It all happened a
long time ago There may have
been Bomo excuses extenuating circum
stances, on tho lawyers say."
"There were, there were," protested
Mrs. Plessey eagerly. "Your father was
much older than I-he threatened me
us, I mean. Don't let's talk about It
Promise me that you will stop Arrol from
digging all this up again that you will
"You coward!" cried Maud fiercely.
"Not content with sacrificing me, you
would have a man go through life sus
pected of n crime ho has never com
mlttedj Plead with him yourself. I still
believe that he waa shielding you In the
paat. What I can do to save you I wilt
do. I wilt not ask any one else to sacri

She paused and gazed moodily Into the
mirror. Suddenly she realized that she
was contemplating her own features. She
waa glad that she could dlsoern no trace
of resemblance to her mother. ,
"Please go now." she aald without turn
ing round. "I have heard enough for
ono nlghti I wish that I had perished out
wells, was careful to leave tho houso
early. On her return sho found a note on
her dressing table. Her mother gavo her
her Brighton address and Implored her to
see Huron at once.
The Injunction seemed necessary to
Grade Plessey. The majority of her sex,
It must be admitted, show no greater
eagerness to get through with an tin
pteaitant ordeal than to catch a train.
They are hot prone to do today what can
bo dono tomorrow. They make ho effort
to meet pleasure or pain half way. But
Maud was that freak of nature, nn Im
petuous woman. If pleasure was prom
ised she wanted It today, and If pain
threatened, then the sooner she faced It
the) better.
She had, of course, been trained by men
and had freely associated with men at St.
Andrew's.
Beforo her mother had reached Bright
on she had ordered a servant to telephone
to Mr. Huron, requesting him to call that
afternoon. She could hardly control her
Impatlenco till he came. Inaction nnd
suspense wero for her the sovercst forms
of torture.
Sho hnd not long to wait At 3 o'clock
sho saw him crossing tho square. As she
watched him approach sho tried to mnke
out his expression and wondered what his
sensations were. But when ho came
nenrer hla faco betrayed no particular
emotion. He looked beforo him with that
complacent grnvlty so often seen; on the
faces of well-dressed gentlemen In the
neighborhood of South Kensington.
Sho walked Into the room beforo the
servant had time to closo the door behind
him. Sho closed It herself nnd Ignored
his proffered hand. "You can sit down
If you like," sho said with dellberato
rudeness. "You and I aro to have an
unpleasant Interview."
Ho flushed at that and stroked his
white moustache. "I enjoy an Interview
with you whether tho matter discussed
Is unpleasant or not," ho said.
"Very well, I will bo explicit and aa
calm as you like. My mother has divulged
to me tho circumstances of my father's
death. I understand these nro known to
you?" She stopped and looked at him.
Ho nodded,
"Ohl" she cried with a noto of triumph.
"Yet In tho room downstairs only three
u ago you saio you believed Martin
Arrol to bo guilty."
"I don't say he wasn't now," replied
tho man sullonly. "I don't know how
much Grnclo has told you, but " He
broke off and then went on: "I know to
what extend she Is guilty, at all events.
i suspect Arrol of having had a sharo
In It But you see, I suppose, why I
wanted to head you off from Arrol?"
"Because you wanted mo for yourself."
"Partly that, partly for your mother's
sako. If jou started him on this trail
again hn might find out tho guilty person.
Now do you understand?"
Sho considered for a moment "Yes, I
understand," sho replied; "but It hardly
redeems tho baseness of your attltudo "
"Botl" he burst out Indignantly. Ho
roso and strodo up nnd down hla end of
tho room. "All these years I havo done
my beat to shield you and Grade from the
consequences of her crime. It la no light
burden to havo on my conscience, I as
sure you. If It were found out, I should
be charged with being an accessory after
tho fact You don't suppose I wanted to
tako up this attitude, do you? I can seo
that Grade hasn't told you all oh
I'm not going to give her away more
than Is necessary. But you had better
know this. I wanted to speak nt the
trial Arrol's trial but she restrained me.
Very well; h0 got oft; thero seemed no
need to bother. Grade wouldn't let me
out of her sight for fear I should give
her away. Then you began to grow up.
I cared for you more every Inch you
grew. Then thero came a time I had
heard something about this man Arrol
when I went to your mother and told her
that I must confeBS what I knew. She
Implored mo not to for your sake.
That's all very well I said; 'but when
tho time comes for me to tell her. If
she throws my love back In my faco,
I shall have dishonored and perjured my
self for nothing.' 'I promise,' said your
mother solemnly, 'that she shall marry
you If you sUll want her to I make
that engagement on her behalf.' I have
not reminded yoiuor her of that engage
ment till today," said Huron, turning and
facing the girl. "It Is for you to honor
or dishonor that cheque."
