Sir: The recent arrests and Investi gations have demonstrated only too plain, that the parents of these boys, also of other boys who have hud for tunately for them no hand In the Mor gan store robbery, should keep a closer watch over their children and not allow them to run the streets at will, espec ially after nightfall. Many a good boy nnd girl has been led astray by evil companions. Walk our streets nt night and tho number of little boys nnd girls found thereon nt late hours Is aston ishing. Who Is to blame for this state of affairs? The oaients, nnd no me else. Wnlle we have no wish or desire to throw Impediments In tho way of the execution of our laws, nor pass criticism, yet tho manner In which tho Morgan Store company robbery casa was conducted savors of 'the "Spanish Jncomunlcndo," the olllcers, to say the least, showed but very llttlo Judgment nnd less common senao. The Idea to arrest little chaps 9 to 12 years of nge and put handcuffs on them, take them, nt least one or two, through our main etreet In that condition. In uddltlon to that, black with coal dust from tho breaker, not oven allowing them the )rlvllege of n. wash before locking them up. Finutiy, to crown their rffor. lock six llttk- chaps In two colls, each one only lnrsre enough to comfortably hold one; last, but not least, Keep Iheni In from Thursday afternoon until lato Friday nigh, nnd perhaps even then would have kept them longer It It had net been for the Interest taken by Man ager Cnrr, of the Morgan Store com pany nnd othir eltlzenB. who had th-i little fellows released on nominal bail. To study this case carefully it leaves but one Impression, nnd that Is, mis matnged. Tho older bo, and as we nndcrstund, tho ringleader, hns Wt for parts unknown and 111 yet not appro hendefl. Had the ofllcers on the ease shown as much dexterity In arresting the Mtrx bov as they did In hauling Intheie little chaps, thpy would be Weak Men may havo our treatment - niillnm-e on j ri'U.ollc on trial unit ujj. rmvt. if !iotB(7iaii(.'um, return uil nt our Miiut'. l'y Nothing, It ii Ii ii k t health for uu i, KTitttliuliii cured, nmmis coutiul nnd vlfror.

The III - tie chaps could have been left until tho last ns there was no datik'er, In our estimation, of thctn running invny. It Is ft rud caxi and a serious one, but after nil said nnd done, a boy's trick. There Is no desire to condone tho deeil these boys have done. They should bo punished, but In a manner befitting their iirc In conclusion, the olllcem on the case ought to bo pioud of their efforts and achievement. In Justice .to Mr. Cnrr, manager of the Peckvllle Store company, we would say, that the proceedings are contraryto hi? Instruc tions to these olllcers, his efforts being entirely directed towards the punish ment of the ringleader not the llttlo chap", who In a sense were more led on by older heads than of their own violation.

Shields was his successor in the fourth Inning. Tho hitter's pitching was su perb. After that the Rrowns were out classed. They only scored two runs during the remaining six Innings, while the Reds scored on different occasions, but owing to the big lead it was Im possible for our hoys to overcome. For the home team G. Morris played a mag nificent game at third base, making some very sensatlonable catches of foul files, while tho base stealing of R. Gen dall was a feature. With this excep tion the boys played a listless1 game. The Rrowns will give a return game In the near future, when the home team will have an opportunity to return tho compliment.

The latter Isan employe of tho Rushbrook Water tompany and was engaged about !iU work of opening a lire plug Just outsl-le of the hotel when Mulholland. who wns Intoxicated, came along and made siune offensive remark. There Is a dif ference In the statements of both men as to who commenced the attack tno Injured man claiming that Murphy came up behind him and hit him with a wrench. Murphy, who Is a quiet and peacable man. says that Mulhol land tried to provoke a quarrel which he tried to avoid and that he hasten -1 to finish the job ho was at so that he might get away from him. As he wai walking away Mulholland followed him and attacked him and what he did was In self defense. Murphy wua rendered unconscious and lay upon the sidewalk until picked up when he was taken Into Cox's shop where Dr. M. J. Shields was summoned, to attend his Injuries.

She had just come "out of the back ' woods" they told her when she men tioned the place. Of course she did not call It the "back woods." She poke of It revere ,iy by the tenler mine of "Pome,' and usually thor wer leais In he .-yeH when sho men tioned It. Rut ti.. matter; It was trt New York, thereforo It was the "bick wood I," ttiey told her when she nsVul for work. "What can you do?" asked the first editor, and he did not take the trouble to look up or stop the pencil that wns scrawling over the paper In front of him. "Anything you would give n woman to do," Blip nnswerpd. "Nothing," he said. "Good morning," sho said. "Good morning," ho said, surprised lnti looking up by her prompt depart ure, but she wns gone, "Bring nnv stuff?" nsked the next one. He wns too busy to waste words. She handed him the little Hat manu script silently. Ho lingered it a second. "I don't want It," he said. "Thank you. Good afternoon," sho said. "G'd afternoon," ho paid. For the next she had to mount to the eleventh story nnd she looked dub iously at the sign In the little ante room: "We do not undertake to pre serve or return unsolicited manu script." Rut when the editor came out bo looked at her really ns If he saw her. "I'm awfully sorry." he said, "but Just now there Isn't a thing In sight. Let me have your address and If I hear of anything I'll be glad to give It to you." Of coutHo she knew what that meant, but still she was grateful for the cour tesy. In her part of the "back woods" people had time to be courteous and this man left a pleasant memory that made her almost hopeful of the next. "What do you wont to do?" tho next one said, nnd he was very nice about It, "Is to Rot a place on a magazine; I would not ntlvlse you to go In for newspaper work. What you want Is n magazine." "What I want, yes," she said smil ingly, "hut probably not what I can get." He smiled, too, very pleasantly, but still he did not quite like her correct ing his grammar. The next chanced to be rosy and round nnd bald. He war, reading a note when she went In nnd he held It In his hand while she talked. Presently It reminded him of something. "Why, the very thing," he said, briskly; "here's a note from my wife. Just reading It when you came In. Quite a coincidence, surely. You see, my wife has a friend who's ner lit erary lady, gives talks, lectures or some such things. Now. this or llt- ernry lady Is going over Into Jersey, to Orange, In fact, to give a talk before a club there, the Ultra Matrons, you know, nnd my wife wants me to send somebody over to report It. Rut of course I couldn't do that, you know." He looked tin over his glasses as If he needed confirmation, doubtless be cause he was defying his wifely In structions, so she mildly said: "No." "Of course not," he went on, having taker, heart of grace from her approval. "Of course I can't send anybody out of the otllce for that, but my wife says " He hesitated a moment, then broke off with: "Now, how would you like to run over and do this lecture for us? Not much In It for you of course; we couldn't use moro than a stick nt the outside: but better start at that than nothing. It's the opening wedge you want, vou know. What do you say? Let's see; round trip ticket to Orange would cost you fifty cents; both ways on the elevated ten, that's sixty. Not much In It for you. What you say? Will you do It or not?" "I'll do It, thank vou," she said. "That's good," he said, folding up the note In n relieved sort of way. "Thank you. I'll tell my wife." "See her." he said, as she was leav ing "better take this card and call for the llteraray lady In the morning nnd go down with her. She'll put you through." She thought ho looked like a cherub: she lived to learn ho was a prophet. Sho took tho card, had herself awakened early the next morning nnd cnlled for tho literary lady at tho hour ap pointed. She wasn't up; call again, the boy brought back the message. She called again. Literary lady was dress ing, would bo down. Sho wnlted. Lit erary lady came by and by In a great rush. "So glad you are going with me," sho said, and then raced her up to the ele vated station till both were out of breath. They regained It, however, on the way down to Christopher street and stnrted on a fresh race to tho ferry. The gate was closed, so the literary lady walked up and down Impatiently nnd llnallybought a paper at the news stand .lust as the gate opened. When they had found seats on tho boat sho unfolded the paper and turned to the woman's page. The first thlnor that caught her was her own name. "I see I'm to lecture before the UN trap," sho said, smiling. "Good gra cious!" she broke off suddenly. What Is It?" "Why, gracious me," said tho liter ary lady, "the notice nys there will be a reception after tho lecture, and look at this gown! That's what they meant when they kept telling me to dress up! A reception In this thing!" It wns only a plain tailor gown. "Gracious! I wonder If they told me nnd I forgot'" The young woman felt quite assured sho had forgot, hut .ho didn't dare say so. "What would you do?" asked the lit erary ladv. "What can you do?" nsked the girl. "Nothing." said the literary lady. "Then I'd try not to care," said tho gill, philosophically. The literary lady evidently tri:d not to care, but the failed, anil her fate Imre n careworn look. When they we-ro seated on the truln tho girl thought the had forgotten, but she had not. "I'll tell you." said the lltornry lady, grabbing her arm, ' I am orry to trouble you, but I'll have to get you to go back tor my gown. I simply can't stand nn Ultra reception In this. I know I forgot. Rut you must go back nnd take a later train over, the next If you can. My sutln rklrt If In the bottom bureau drawer; the wnlsl Is in my trunk; it isn't locked. Hurry, vou must eat it for me " The train wns b'glnnlng to move, but ho followed th girl to the rear platform and called to her as sin Jumped off: "My loom Is second lo tho left on the third floor." The girl was nlmoit convulsed with lnughter at tho humor of the situation. She caught the ferrjboat back, hut had to wait ut Fifty-ninth street for a Sixth nvenue elevated. When she got to tha house she pushed tho bell frantically but got no response. Once, twice, thrice ngaln, hut still no nswer. Mo ments wore precious, Finally some indies opened the door and went out. The girl pelzed the opportunity nnd went In. There wns no one In sight. She went upstairs nnd to tha second room on tho left, third floor. She knocked dubiously, not knowing whom or what she would find. Nn response. She opened tho door nnd entered. Cooks and papers everywhere; evi dently this wns the literary lady's room. She found the satin skirt In the drawer without any trouble, but had to light the gas to look Into the trunk. Resides, there were two trunks, nnd there wns no wny of knowing which. Suddenly It occurred to her tho possi bility that some one might come In, discover her prowling nnd mistake her for a thief. There wns not n person In the house who knew her. She rang the bell, meaning to explain to tho maid. The Impossibility of being able to explain to n maid who had never seen her suggested Itself and sho locked the door. That very net made her feci like a thlcf.aud she crept about stealth ily, fearful half lest the maid should not come, hnlf lest she should. Sho waited breathlessly; no one came. Af ter much searching she found the wnlst nnd made up the package In n newspaper. There was not a bit of string anywhere, she sho snipped off the curtain cord and tied It up. Now, the question of making nn exist wns nn Important one. Surely she could not get away with that big bundle without being seen, but get away she must. It suddenly enmo to her that she might be mistaken either for a laundress or a sewing woman nnd In that hope she opened the door, but In spite of herself she could not keep from feeling guilty nnd trying to steal out noiselessly. When she got to tho door It seemed as If she could not get It open nnd when the outer one slam med su noisily behind her she thought surely discovery wns nt hand, nnd she could not restrain herself from run-' nlng down tho steps, nnd, Indeed, to the elevated stntlon at the corner. If a voice had by nny chance cried "stop thief" she would have collapsed. She even glnnced furtively around nt the people In the car. What If tho harm less looking little man in the corner should turn out to bo a detective Real ly she could not compose herself. For one thing her bundle wns too big, and for another she feared she would miss her train. When she got off the ele vnted sho looked behind to see If the llttlo man In the corner was following her. She bought a. ticket to cross the ferry and asked tho time of tho next train to Orange. "Do you want n ticket to Orange?" the man nt the window nsked. "No: I have one." she snld. "Then why don't you cross the ferry on It?" he asked. She felt that ho suspected her and snatched her bun dle and ran. When nt last sho was seated on the train, with the big bundle In her lap, feeling fairly comfortable for the first tlnv. her eyes fell to scanning the newspaper that enclosed tire precious gown. Suddenly they were caught by thP notice of the lecture. Heavens! It was to be nt 2.30. and she was thn on the 1.35 train. Sho had never btt-n to Orange before; sho knew no one- she had no Idea where the literary lady was to be found. If she was not nt tho feta tion to meet her all wau loat. She looked out eagerly when the con ductor called her station, but the lit eral y lndy was not to i s.'on. Sh" struggled aeioss the platform with her bur.dlp. 'Tiiive me to tha club," she said des perately to the cabman who came to her assistance. "What club?" he asked. "The Ultras," she said. "Oh, the hall," he answered, and she thought she was saved. Sho pictured vaguely the consterna tlun she would create by bursting into the hall In tho midst of tho lecture pos sibly, but by this time she was physi cally exhausted and mentally blank. She paid the cabman intuitively nnd had "tarted up the stairway befoie which he had stopped when she thought she hcaid voices culling and a heavy step running toward iT. At laft sh.i was pursued. Put save the gown sho must and would. Springing up tho stulrwny she burst open the door Into the hall. The platform wns empty, but tlierj wns a r.olsy hum of expeetnucy running through the crowd. At first she henrd nothing distinctly. Then a heavy hand wns laid on her shoulder and a voice behind her raid: "Give me your bundle, miss." She looked up at the blue coated po liceman, who had come up behind, and fell In a faint at his feet. When she revived sho was lying on n rug In n little white plastered room. Tin win dow wns open, the cold snow laden ulr from without was blowing on her and n sweet faced, gentle woman was bend ing over her, holding a bottle of imiell In s-'nlts to her nose, "Are ou the matron?" sho nsked feebly, 'The whnt'.'" said the woman. "The matron'."' "No." She waited a moment. '"Then wero you put In, loo?" she nsked. "In what?" the woman asked. "in prison," sho snld, shuddering.
