His dancing was only equaled by the ex quisite finish ot his nttlre, for from his thln-soled dancing pumps to hs Interest ing, well-groomed crinkly hair, brushed straight back, "college boy style," lio was entirely fascinating to the girls of Mnhwnli. Ho had deepest, glowing, bronn eyes nnd a fine pink skin; he had all the latent slnng slang that was so fresh nnd ne.v that only conilnnl visits to the Winter Harden cbuld explain his marvelous vo. enmuary. He was the constant "screnm ' of tho tango tens that ho hastened to ns soon as his ilnlly lesson In the foundry company's oulces wos over. The 1 n day ho got for this "lesson" Could hardly bo expected to cover Ms expenses, but men "fell for" Morris nnd his social charms ns well as nil manner of womcli folk, nnd lent him money reck lessly. lnsl summer there were nine mjster lou8 robberies In Mnhwnli, all in n row. They did not seem to be tho work of "professionals," thoiiRh the weroclcv criy enough executed. The great blow fell on New Year's eve. The home nf Councilman Krnnk C, Dntor was entered and sllverwnre, Jewelry nnd other articles, nil valued nt J200, were stolen. Mrs. DeVlne, wife of a Krcc holdcr, who lives next door, heard the burglars about S o'clock nnd a number ot other neighbors saw two men leave the-house artd drive away In a sleigh. Constatilo Truman Itodgcrs was notltlcd by telephone. On the way to Mr. Dator'a liouso lie met Pcppermnn nnd n compan ion, and the young man, who "knew eerhody," spoke to him. "Hello, Pep," said the constable they nil called him "Pep" because ho had so much "pep" "Hello, Pep, did you see two well-dressed young fellows pass you In - sleigh?" "bure," replied "Pep." Il&hting n clgnr ctto, "they Just passed up the ronit nnd you had bcttotnot waste your time nlth us here." The constnbla hurried nuiy nnd was very much grieve' n few minutes later to lonrn that "Pep," whom he was so proud to know, had deceived him. For Mr. Dator's neighbors said it wns no other than "Pep" who lint como out nt the house. Kenneth IJurgcss wns snld to have been with him. FOIL. PURSUI3KS.

Two days later, tho Justice continues. Mr. Peppcrman, who had ovldontly found what had becomo of tho stolen nrticlcs, brought tho larger pnrt back to Mahwah and restored them to tho owner.

"It Is strange that thl Important truth lins been so neglected among us In tho sphere of theology.

Nor Is tbcio oiio nmo.ig nil our seminaries that attempt!! deliberately nnd on r.:iy ade quate scale to produce f.chcrs and scholars. IiESSON IN CATHOMC C1IUP.CH. "Wo ought to take a lesson from tho Church or Home no less than from tho Church of England. It Is probably true that the average Roman priest is oven less of a scholar and thinker than the nvcrngc priest with us; but ho does not need to bo other and more than ho Is. 11 y a practical training greatly more protracted and moic detailed thnn anything we can boast, ho Is schooled nnd drilled to tho highest efficiency ns a captain In Ihe ranks. The field officers in that religious body, the men who nro to bo Its specialists as prenehers. as organizers nnd as edu cators, are prepared In very different schools, and are trained by n singularly laborious, wise nnd exacting course, for tho posts of leadership for which their nntlvo gifts lit them. In nil this wo are centuries behind the Church of nomc. And If thero is nn thing In the cry that alarms us now and ngnln, that tho Church of Romo Is threatening to capture tho first place in Influence In our land, It Is chlclly due to the ndmlrnblo skill and wisdom which alio shows In picking nnd preparing men for leadership In her ministry. Without boing alarmists, wo might well borrow n leaf from this book. "Tho present seems a singularly apt moment to launch such an undertaking ns ours. Vor tho world situation demands it quite ns much ns the local sltuntlon. Tho few scholars whom we could boast of In our ministry have, in tho past, for the most part, sought their higher learn ing abroad-ln England or In Oermany, And tho great war is bringing about a marked change In this respect, by which theology will be "greatly affected. There Is no question that German scholarship lias been easily predominant In the learned circles of America for many m LJ years. It will be less so tn the future, nightly or wrongly, all things 'made In Oormany' will be subjected to a mare exacting scrutiny. The latest word of tho proressor at Leipzig or Herlln will carry less weight. It Is a curious fact thnt America has produced tew. If any, theological thinkers or scholars of In ternational eminence. Present conditions will surely bo a stimulus to American Independence In learning of every sort, and not least in theology. "It seems clear, too, that the productive ness of England nnd Prance nnd Germany In higher learning will be gravely affected by tho war. Tho best of their youth those out of whom one might hope to sec new Hnrnncks nnd Duchesncs nnd San days ilevelopcd-nre laying down their tlves on the field of battle. The Rrcat met ropolitan Diocese of London recently served notice that no able-bodied young man would bo received as n candidate for orders In the present crisis. And if any of theso joung men of promise escape the bullet nnd the poisoned gas, wilt they not be urgently needed, ns were tho ablest of our youth ntlcr the Civil Wnr, In the nppalllng tnsk of material reconstruction which awaits the nations when peace shall come? It seems plain, then, that for some years European scholarship must suffer eclipse; nnd that if the torch of science and learning Is not to flicker nnd fall, It must bo caught and carried for ward by American hands. Thus, for the ological learning In this country there Is, tomorrow, an unexampled opportunity. We dare not face it In nny spirit of self grntulatlon: It Is a heavy responsibility.'

"Ullt Rl. die, Atlantic City's liberal Sunday execu tive. Is some fighter, pugillstlc&lly as welt ns politically." "Jack" Cardiff, Evangelist Btough's welterweight trainer, who formerly con dltloned "Billy" Sunday, made that state ment advisedly this morning after he had tried out the Mayor In a three-round ln vltatlon bout In tho Mayor's basement gymnasium at his villa In Chelsea. Tho meeting with eight-ounce gloves followed a warm Interchange of scriptural remarks In the Mayor's library, where Cardiff browsed nbout whllo niddla fin ished breakfast. Ho noted a rather more pretentious collection of classics than the average minister possesses and was com menting upon the discovery of a "Life of Jesus" when ho enmo upon a collection of Ingersoll's writings. Then ho hit upon one ot Riddle's five Bibles nnd wns skimming through the nnges when Btddle came In with a rat tling volley of scriptural quotations, winding up with his creed: "Let him without sin cast the (lrst stone " "Ixt not your heart be troubled," Cnrdlff countered, and then they went downstairs, put on the gym togs and went nt It hnmmcr nnd tongs. Mnyor Illddlo had the longer reach and landed somo good wallops, but ho began to tire nfter tho first lound nnd Cardiff gave him rights nnd lefts it n henrty fashion unlit tho Mayor was blowing like a grampus. A moving picture machine nnd a battery of cameras caught every move. "Make no mistake about this man Rid dle," Cardiff said nfter tho wind-up. "He's n live member nnd if ever ho hits tho trait there will be a muscular Chris tian on the Job."
