George Washington
WASHINGTON is on Ideal dlaclpto o the dictum thnt "tho child I father of
the man." .-' y , '
Born of wealthy parents, ho was hardly sixteen when he turned his back on
the Idle luxury of his home, and embraced tho outdoor strcnuoua life.
Had ho so desired ho could have graced tho ballroom and the salon, but
rounded with caso nnd refinements.
Uc chose, Instead, tho perils and lmrdHhips of a surveyor in the wilderness
n life, that enlailed endless fatigue, exposure and privation fording uwollen
rjrer9L.wadlns through threatening snowdrifts fighting ambushed Indians.
Like many men who continually defy danger and deeth, Washington seemed
to bear n charmed life or perhaps destiny was slniply trying him in the crucible,
shielding him at tho same time that she was preparing him for larger things to
COine,
Onco In midwinter, Washington fell from n raft Into the ice-caked, nwlft
runnlng currents of n western stream another time a hostile savage fired nt him
point blank over nnd over from under cover on occasions without number he rode
through showers of bullets nnd tomahawks.
Always he enmo through unscathed never did his nerves or his ncrvo give.
Throughout hln political as through his military career, his moral courage
was as great as his physical. Ho did what he thought was right even though it
frequently made him extremely unpopular. lie waa always honorable and gene
rouscTon with his bitterest enemies.
In these days when demagogues think they are demigods, nnd spend their
life and fortune trying to obtain public office, It in refreshing to turn to the figure
of George Washington stern, upright, yet kindly refusing a third term even
though he had so little money at the time that his home was threatened by the
sheriff, and ho had to borrow funds with which to pay his most pressing debts.
Washington had a terrlblo temper but more than nnd above all, Washington
was master of himself. ,
He had little formal academic or. military education, but what he lacked in
this regard, he made up In the ability to nsslmllate the lessons of experience, to
recover rapidly from defeat, tolnsplre loyalty nnd love In hla subordinates.
He was not a brilliant man rather he wan thoughtful, painstaking,, labori
ously careful and persistent n combination which is worth n ton of talent or
cleverness and which gives three times ns much mileage to the gallon.
We have all heard of the famous cherry treo episode. Peculiarly enough, it
in not generally known that when barely out of his teens, Washington had formu
lated a code which he called" the "Rulci of Civility," which, he claimed, exer
cised a profound Influence upon his life. These rules nre as pertinent today as
they were at the time of the olgnlng of the Declaration of Independence. Some
follow :
"Economy in all things."
"Happiness depends more upon the Internal frame of a mnn'H mind than on
tnc externals in the world.!'
"Labor to keep nlive In your breast thnt little spark of celestial fire, Con
hfience." "He slow to credit remarks that disparage anybody."
"Nothing but harmony, ambition, honcs Industry and thrift are necessary
to make us individually and collectively n great people."

MYSTERY STORY
By riHLII FRANCIS NOWLAN
THE COAT DRESS
IS "IN" AGAIN
Yesterday's Mystery Solution
T.V THE case of "Not Guilty" three
A things, or rather the combination of
them, convinced Ilnrvcy Hunt that it
-ns not the nurte, MUs Surdlcy, who
had poisoned the patient. It uas the
very strength of tho evidence against
her that he suspected.
First, there were the unmistnkablo
symptoms of n drug not used in tho
treatment. Second, there were her fin
gerprints on the poison glass. Third,
here was the fact that by his will the
i.oiild inherit half of Hardeigh's for
tune. No one with n nurso'a knowlcdgo of
drugs would have picked out n poison
t,ure to be discovered immediately, nnd
in such manner ns to prove murder,
Harvey Hunt nrgucd. It would have
been o much easier to arrange an acci
dental overdose of some drue used in
the treatment, or to select another one
of which the symptoms would not be ho
apparent. Again, it was inconcelvnDlc
that fiho would havo taken no pains to
avoid leaving fingerprints on tho glass
'in which some of the poison actually
remained, particularly when the mo
tive lay bo apparently with her. Clearly
this evidence had been manufactured,
lint to what purpose?
"Well." thought Hunt, "what pur
pose is it serving now? It will (.cud
this nurse to the electric chair. Who
hni an object in eliminating both her
snd Hai-dcigh? Who would inherit the
money which in turn (he would inherit
trtm Hardelgh?
He found in the background of the
rso a husband, for Miss Surdlcy was
married, though not living with him.
That day he called upon her nnd at
tempted a reconciliation. He failed in
this, however, and so tampered with
tho prrscriptlon f-hc had asked htm to

"TT LAZINESS could be eliminated

clared Harvey Hunt, Injlng aside the
Tolump of police records he had been

"Why. just this," said Hunt. "It

One of the "reds" which does not
share popular disapproval Is the red
ingote. There is certainly nothing radi
cal about this form of coat dress. In
fact it represents tho most conserva
tive taste.
Hut, whether it be the redlngoto or
some other form of upper garment, the
coat dress is securing a tremendous
amount of attention this year. In the
spring months, when the wrap may bo
dismissed from our consideration, this
costume may claim an even wider pres
tige. For nothing smarter for street
wear than the coat dress with fure.
Today we arc showing one of the
new coat dresses carried out in Havana
brown velvet, trimmed only with tiny
cordlngs of self material. The plaited
sections on the hips, together with the
arrangement of the waistline, are both
features worthy of special attention.
is always either lazy or defective. In
one case ho knows ho would bo more
efficient if honest. In the other he
doesn't. In the one cuho tho police have
the advuntugo of him because he is es
sentially inefficient through his funda
mental laziness; in the other because
he is mentally deficient.
"And of the two classes I should bay
that tho mentally deficient is tho more
dangerous. The defective, of course, al
ways is defenseless ut somo one point,
but it may not be a point directly con
nected with tho particular crime you'ro
Investigating, nnd henco, to nil intents
nnd purposes you nro dealing with the
'Ideal criminal.' if I may us such h
term, tho criminal who is not lazy nnd
wnoso (leiictent lacmucn nre balanced
often by compensating brilliancy In
other directions.
"The point is illustrated by the Ap
sleyton murders. Apsleyton, as you no
doubt know, is a smajl factory town.
The population Is largely Italian, nnd
it beenmo panic-stricken when eleven
mysterious murders occurred inside of
two months. Tho mayor sent for me to
clear thorn up. Naturally the suspicion
was that they were 'Black Hand'
murders, hut the nuthorities had mighty
little to go on. This was all they were
able to toll me:
"All the deaths were among Italians
and were due to stabbing. Tho victims
were mo family or a mother nnd father
nnd three children, unother of n mother
und father and two children, and two
single men who lived alone. The two
families and the single men did not
know one another, eo far as tho au
thorities could find out. Tho murders
all occurred out of doors, tho bodies be
ing found in different sections of the
town. They occurred singly. In the
case of each of tho two fnmllles it was
tho children who had been killed first,
the men Inst. None of tho victims had
received nny demnnds for money or any
threats of violence. Apparently no mo
tive existed for tho murders, for though
some of tho victims were reputed to
have Borao savings they wero not found.
Robbery apparently vtns not tho causo
of the murders, for small sums of monej
nnd wntchcH were found, on several of
tho victims. The only "definite reason
tho pollco had for suspecting 'Illack
Hnnd' work was thnt mcenso dl Gio
vanni, n Incnl banker, upon whom no
attempt had been mndo so far, had re
ceived threatening letters nnd appealed
to them for protection. Thoy showed
mo tho letters. ,
"I suspected Dl Qiovnnni right
away." , , v ,, i ,
'Tor heaven's pako why?" nsked
DeKyne in astonishment. "I can't sco
that you've said n thing to point bus-
plclon in his direction."

reasoning in suspecting the banker, and

"Is thorn nnv malt for me?" It was
MnrJorle Ilrown's voice which called
KUphalet Drew Into the llttlo pootofilcc.
He clumsily shumed n bunch of letters,
snulnted nt them closely; then nicked
out two nnd handed them to MnrJorle.
"Guess that's nil," he concluded.
"I'm looking for a package," returned
Mnrjorlo in a disappointed tone.
"Mother Rent to New York for n new
coat for my birthday present It's
oerdue now three woek." she sighed.
Poatmnster Drew fumbled nbout tho
littered spaco of desk, removed some
newspapers nnd discovered a bulky
package with a blurred address.
"Here," he said, noting tho initials,
"mebho this Is It" .. t
"Oh, good," said MnrJorle. "It'o about
time." Sho hastily grabbed the bundle
by tho string nnd walked out
The path to the gato was slushy, so
sho carefully picked her waj to avoid
netting her feet. So occupied wan she
In this task that she did not raise her
head to see that Martin Bcarne had
Just pasted along tho road.
Marjorle, however, turned In the op
posite direction, and soon Joined May
Fernald, ,hu camo out of an adjoining
vnrd.
"Say. MafJ, Isn't the walkln' nwful."
greeted May. "Seems to mo vou didn't
have much to say to Martin this morn
ing," sho bantnred. i
"Why, I didn't soo him," began Mkr
Jorle. "Oh, you didn't." teased May. "Sup
peso vou think that I don't know you've
quarreled. If I linVl a fellow llko Mar
tin Bcnrse," nhe ran on. "you Just bet
I'd keep him If I could."
Marjorle's cheeks grew ery red, but
she kept tfllent. There was a long
pause.
"My new coat has come nt last," she
said. e ailing the subject
Meanwhlln ut tho poBtofflco an inves
tigation was in process, with Mrs Drew
oa injector.
"I'd llko to know what hns bocome of
thnt bundle for Martin Bcarao," she
began violently, charging upon her hus
band. "I nln't seen nothfn' for him," re
turned the nged postmaster meekly.
"There was one here," she asserted.
"Came last night. An' I left It right
here." She laid her hand llatlv on the
tdn of the desk touching the wall.
"What I know, I know," she llnlshcd
with cmphi.sls.
"Woll. mobbo he'a got It," replied
Mr. Drew tactfully.
"There nln't nono of the Btarscs been
In here," nhe answered.
Tho argument ended, ns usual, with
Mrs. Drew's last word.
An hour later Martin Bcarse, on his
way home from the store, dropped In ut
the postofllce.
"Anything here for me. Mr. Drew?"
he atked pleasantly. "I'm looking for
a pair of rubber boota. Xeed 'cm this
weather."
The postmaster behind the little ban ed
window of the cablm-t looked worriotl.
"I nln't seen nothln' hem," he un
swered. "Hope they'll be along soon," an
swered Martin, turning to go.
As ho nhut the door Mrs. Drew en
tered protest.
"I'd like to know what you've done
with them boota. Who's been here this
morning?" sho questioned, forcibly. A
penetrating glance shot out from her
eyes. Such Judgellko scrutiny causea
her husbnnd to wither,
"I dunno," h vaguely answered.
War'n't nbbody here's I know of." lie
tried vainly to recall tho past circum
stance. "lAwrcnco brought a letter." A light
streak suddenly appeared in his faded
blue eycB.
"MarJorlo Brown was horo." he con
tinued hopefully. "Sho had somo par
cel post "
"To send oft?" Interrupted Mrs. Drew,
"So, it como hero, I tell ye," (The
postmaster was rtgnlnlng his authority.)
"There !" exclaimed Mrs. Drew,
" 'Twtts for Martin Bearso. I know."
"No, 'tuani't either. 'Twaa MarJorlo
Brown's. I read It," ho asserted,
Mrs. Drew watted for no moro quib
bling. Sho hurried to the door.
"lloo-oo," sho oallod. Mnrtln, woll on
his way. turned around.
"Say" Mrs. Drew, barc-hea'ded, her
gray locks frowsted, went tho length of
the piazza "he's gone on' give your
boots to MarJorlo Biuwn. I'm nwful
sorry. But I gues she'll bring 'em
back. lie's all tho tlmo mnkln' mlB
tukes. I wish ho'd let mo tend tho mall."
A queer expression passed over Mnr-J
tins raco aa no umi on mitnuy.
Afternoon came, but MarJorlo did not
return. Mr. and Mrs. Drew attributed
tho delay to the wrotched condition of
tho uldowalka, ankle-deep with melted
snow.
In tho Brown household, however, the
morning burprloe had turned to disap
pointment. Instead of a coat MarJorlo
had found that her paokago contained
a pair of long-legged rubber bootn,
strapped and re-enforced, substantial
enough to arouse n matcullno thrill of
Joy. Tho mtstnko aroused her Indigna
tion. Quickly she sought the torn wrnp
per. Fleeing tho bltn together carefully,
she made out tho name. "Martin," Then
Indignation tumed into anger.
"My land, Mnrtln Boarse'a boots." Her
blue eyes, glinted fire. "I won't carry
the old things back I Just won't I just
won't that's all thcro Is to It," sho told
her mother.
Thre ilajs passed Increasing In worry
at tho postofllce.
"I'm goln' to bco that girl," deter
mined Mrs. Drew.
"Xo, you ain't either." Tho postmas
ter was obdurate."
"She ain't got no right to keep other
folks' things."
"Well, mebbo she's sent 'cm to him.
Uo lives down that way," argued the
pofltmastcr,
Tho next night It ruined furiously,
molting snow and Ico, until It bocamo
llko an open tea. Water stood ankle
deep everywhere. The shallow yard nt
the Brown houso wnn flooded.
"Marjorle. how are you going to feed
the hens thlu morning?" aaked Mrs.
Brown feobly.
MnrJorle looked perploxod. All at
once her faco brightened.
"I will." sho dotormlncd. "There's no
other way."
After a few minutes, a girlish, pretty
flguro. uniquely outlined by a pair of
hip bots, awkwardly "waded out toward
the henhouse.
Just at that tlmo, Martin Bearee,
driven by necessity, angrily Bloshe d Into
tho Brown backyard. Tho appearance
which met his gaze chased the brooding
nunrrel to flight. A hearty laugh broko
tile ppcll.
"Martin," broko out Marjorle, blush
Ing furiously, "I Just couldn't help It. I
couldn't get hern nny other way,"
Although Martin Bearse did not hae
tho satisfaction of christening thobe
boots, he experienced n supreme Joy in
wearing them. ,
In the early springtime, when nature
blosi-omed anew after her long blanketed
elcep. he Induced MnrJorle Brown to
change her name to Bcarse.
"My good fortune," Martin told his
congratulating friends, "Is due to a pair
of rubber boots going astray. If you
don't bellevo It, nsl; MnrJorle."
