>o not deny yourself comforts and

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. . . . . .. .
Give the children you bring into this
sphere of existence your love, your sym
pathy and your counsel. Study them
as vou would study the most important
problems. Make yourself acquainted
/with their temperaments and
■Disposition. and train yourself to
exercise patience in dealing wltth thetr
exercise patience in dealing with their
inherited some of these weaknesses.
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

N'ot long ago a sober, industrious and
contented laborer reeeived word that an
inheritance had fallen to him. and he

' MONDAY EVENING,
I I met two youngr women to whom
a fortune had been left, and knew whai
sacrifices their dead parents had made
to (rive them the luxuries and advan
taftes thev were enjoying, and 1 studied
tliem with care. 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."

I "Kbtlnkn." spoken, and yet the skepti
cal stage artists, like an in

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

is claimed, to say not only one more
word, but a whole sentence, or even

Avery Hopwood, having written "Seven I

had frightened it. probably the drug

' You got a feather only a feather!"
I 'Oh. don't! Don't!" There was

She was weakening.
"Sit down!" he commanded, and she
I obeyed him like a child. "You can

he resumed pitilessly. "Another! lou

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."

Telephone Service
The Automatic Telephone System—now being installed by
the Cumberland Valley Telephone Company—always gives
you the number you dial.
The old manual system cannot help but make mistakes
and "A miss is as good as a mile." You know how you feel
when you ask for the number of a Market street store and
get the man who runs a coal yard twenty blocks from Market
street. Little Miss Operator MEANS to give you the num
ber you want but the plug slips and gets into the wrong
hole. Sometimes these "wrong number" calls come to YOU,
occasionally in the middle of the night when you dare not
ignore them. Eh?
Use the Automatic
It means accurate telephone service for you have a machine
absolutely under your control. You suffer no "wrong num
ber" embarrassments. You do not have to "wait your turn"
to get immediate service. You need not fear to discuss con
fidential business. The Automatic is sure, swift, secret,
