There is nothing worth while in such % course of action, and almost invari- Üblv the result is injurious to the best interests of the children and of society at large. . . . . .. .

An example of self-control, kindness and sympathy is the greatest wealth >ou can bestow on your children. Give them such opportunities to develop their strength and best character as you can. without too great sacrifice ot your own needs. If you are able to enjoy some bless ings "of your toil, enjoy instead of hoarding your dollars to give your children luxuries which they have not earned, or leaving a fortune to be fought over. The worst characteristics human na ture is capable of frequently develop in children of unselfish parents when thu dtvison of property is made—property ■which the children had no part in earn Inf. N'ot long ago a sober, industrious and contented laborer reeeived word that an inheritance had fallen to him. and he at once began to neglect his work to adopt vices, and finally committed sui cide in a mood of despairing rage be cause law was slow in giving him all he believed his due.

Two more arrogant, seltish an.l unlovable young women 1 have rarely encountered. Thev made frequent references to "common peu pie" and spoke patronizingly of th* "middle classes." Yet the father of these girls had been a poor boy and a 'elf-made man ana the maternal srandfather had begun life as a peddler until he earned the monev to study a profession. Money hoarded for two ireeniations and th* sacrifices of parents and grandparents, brought no happier results in the third than two arrogant and itirls. who would have been rendered nobler and sweeter, no doubt, if they had been obliged to come in closer as sociation with the "common people" and the "middle c'a*es." I grow to believe there is a curse up on monev we do c; earn. Certain it is that we rarely fin i the greatest char acteristics or the worthiest qualities ae ve'oped in tha children who have been spared all effort atd shielded from all rponsibilties, ami l ' poll whom ha showered the hoaftled wealth of self denving parents, while scarcely a dav passes that we do not encounter or heai of selfishness, greed, crime or folly which has resulted directly from In herited wealth. Knjov the proceeds of your labor —he charitable, generous, benevolent while vou live: give your children a happ> home and reasonable pleasures and ad vantages, but do not sacrifice your life to them. You only worry yourself and them and society by such a course. They will be better citirens if you let them work for what they have. and committees will be appointed to nominate officers for the ensuing year, select a time and place for holding the next convention and to draft reso lutions to be acted upon in the closing session Friday evening. Col. H. C. Demming will give a his torical sketch at the evening session Thursday on "Harrisburg's First Sun day School." and W. G. Landes of Philadelphia, will address the evening meeting on "Sunday Schools Yester day, To-day and To-morrow."

Season after season the critics an nounce that the "last word" in elabor ateness settings has been I "Kbtlnkn." spoken, and yet the skepti cal stage artists, like an in genious woman, manage to speak still another word. Arthur H&mmerstein is one of the most notorious offenders against critical judgment in this re spei t, and in "Katinka" which will be presented at the Orpheum Wednesday matinee and night, he has managed, is is claimed, to say not only one more word, but a whole sentence, or even paragraph. His former production. The Firefly" and "High Jinks" were considered the acme of excellence and i elaborateness. But "Katinka" is ere- I dited with putting her two prodeoessors j under eclipse. !

"The Yoke" will be presented for the "The Yoke." first time in this city. It has brought forth mucn i discussion from all classes. It has. it is claimed, caused sociologists to em- j i hark on a new line of thought. The ■ i presenting company is headed by J. ' I Edwards. One of the most attractive headline™ 1 seen thus far at the Majestic Theater is | Toots Paka and her trio | Majentlc llai of Hawaiian singers. 1 Attractive Many local theatergoers Hendllner. will recall when these artists appeared at the Orpheum Theater several seasons ago j and what a favorable impression they created.

"I found it where you had dropped It at the home of your tried to catch the bird, but something had frightened it. probably the drug ging and hypnotizing of my secretary. ' You got a feather only a feather!" I 'Oh. don't! Don't!" There was i pleading in her voice. She was weakening. "Sit down!" he commanded, and she I obeyed him like a child. "You can ■see my secretary, helpless, can't you?" he resumed pitilessly. "Another! lou knew that the waiter whose recom mendations were stolen, who was hyp notized so that even his voice and manner and talk were those of the typical New Yorker your aunt has learned so well in her years of asso ciation, was the first one to make possible your game. You didn't ex pect another!" He heard the springs of the couch croak as her hands gripped the edge. "You heard?" she whispered. lie shook his head. "My secretary told me. 1 had just finished the fight for his mind before you came In. From the snatches his brain retained 1 saw the whole picture, the grim room, with its dusty black liarfgings, the drug-dazed man. Silver Sandals, the flying crow. Then your escape, the bloodstains your hands left on the rail!" "You arc trying to frighten me!" she evclaimed. In sudden, vehement defiance. She was fighting again. "You are guessing. You found the feather in the hotel suite! I know It!" "Certainly;" The admission was grave. "But the feather that brought you here I picked up from the chess board on my desk before I went to the hotel to-night. I said that Mc- Mann did not find the feather, because he did not know where to look for it. Until the moment I showed it to him it was in my pocket. The whole pur pose of it was to tell "some one' that j I had the crow. I knew 'some one' | would try to get It. The finding of! the hair was luck when 1 pretended ' to look for the feather. But I knew ! it would suggest to the mind of 'some i one' the possibility of sending you here. How it got there I don't know." "You know nothing!" she accused. Colton lifted the cigarette to his lips. "May I smoke?" he asked. She nodded shortly. He still waited, and she almost snapped an affirmative. He lighted the cigarette carefully, slowly. There was a curious expres sion of respect on his face. Never be fore had he met a person who fought so long and so gamely. A half-dozen j times he had trapped her; twice he j had ' brought her to her knees. But i she recovered each ttme, fighting gasp- j ingl.v, but fighting, fighting every In stant. "You were frightened last night," he declared. "Something made you hurry from the house of Silver San dals before you could catch the crow. But you left George Nelson behind, j He. with his poor, befoggled brain, i was to bring Rameses." He paused. ' but there was no sound to tell him whether or not the mention of the crow's name had scored. "The dis trict attorney frightened him away to some prepared rendezvous. And I got the crow, the one missing t piece In the 1 mosaic." "So you have got it?" There was triumph in the cry. a peculiar sort of triumph. "Yes." His voice was almost pity ing as he went on? "The night of' your father's death you saw the man ager of the restaurant speak to me, didn't-you? You didn't know who I was then, but when you saw me feel of the dead man's wrists sudden fright at the unconsidered possibility caused you to snap the wineglass. That lo cated absolutely the second source of the incense odor which my keen nos trils detected on the clothes of the dead man. You saw me go back to Imy secretary. You knew that he was following you. In the Waldorf you land the 'some one' with you telephon ed the alarm to Silver Sandals. You ■were waiting for him. Probably there was some trickery to impress him with the truth of a very strange thing; a thing that I have been working to prove despite the unexpected turns of the case. But Sydney showed that he did not believe, and that frightened . Silver Sandals. She made him another , pawn. My blindness, and mental visu j allzation it has made necessary, en abled me to 'see' that when I found my secretary at police headquarters. That changed the whole game. It be came a game for blood!" "Blood!" she repeated, and again there was the peculiar note of triumph In her voice. "Do you know I have a pistol pointed straight at your heart?" she snapped. His head inclined slowly. "You don't realize how keen my ears are," he said, with just 'the faintest of smiles. "I've been very interestedly | listening for several seconds. The hammer snapped a thread in the pocket lining when It caught!" "Where is the crow?" she demand ed. He heard her rise, take a step toward him, then another. "My boy put him to bed," the blind ; man announced calmly. "All after- I noon he had been listening to him and j taking notes of the crow's words." "Where are the notes?" Her voice : was steady and hard. She was very ! close to him. He felt the muzzle of ; the pistol as she held it against his chest. I "Here they are." He picked them 1 up from the desk behind him and held l them tantalizingly before her for an 'instant before he held them high above her reach. "Give them to me! At once!" The commands came almost hissingly. The thin lips of the blind man tightened, even the blind eyes seemed to grow colder as they looked down at her face. "You shall have them," he said grimly, "when I have talked to your husband, Mrs. Bracken!" CHAPTER XIV A Revelation It seemed a long, long time that they stood, unmovlng; the girl, her long hair sweeping the shoulders of the man's rough coat she wore; Thornley Colton. the notes held high over his head, his eyes apparently watching her face. Then the blind man dropped his cigarette Into the tray behind him and raised his hand. The girl stood motionless as he gentlv unclasped her fingers from the pistol. "I didn't think you'd use it," he said quietly, "or I'd have taken it when I felt the weight In your pocket as I lifted you." (To Be Continued.)
