OF INTEREST T
STEALING i
By DOROTHY DIX
I get a great many very pathetic let
ters from wives who complain that
other women have stolen their husbands
away from them, and who ask me If
1 do not think that these matrimonial
thieves are the most iniquitous crea
tures on earth.
It is, of course, natural in such cases
to blame the other woman wholly, and
to accuse her of being a siren, who has
exercised some sort of occult art over
a. helpless and hypnotized man In order
to drag him away, against his inclin
ation. from his home and fireside.
There is a cheering and comforting
view for the wife to take of the situa
tion. It is not without reason that the
wife invariably blames the other
woman. It saves her face. It is one
thing to forgive a man and take him
back, if he was shanghaied and taken
unconscious and doped aboard the
pleasure craft, and another to overlook
his side stepping if he sidestepped of
his own accord because he enjoyed do
ing It, and was tired and bored at
home.
Now, any whole heart goes out to
the woman whose husband has wear
led of her and deserted her. I could
weep tears of blood on her breast, but
the truth remains that every case .of
husband stealing is what the police
can "an Inside Job." No woman can
steal a man away from his wife un- I
less he wants to be stolen. Before the !
heart thief can get In, a man has to j
leave all the doors unlocked, and all
the windows with "the burglar alarms
off.
While I.ove I.tvfi
As long as a man is In love with .
his wife he Is Inoculated against all <
other charmers, charm they never so
well nor so wisely. The other woman, !
no matter how beautiful and attractive
she Is does not exist as an entity. She
is merely Just a part of the female
population, another skirt among skirts, !
*nd he is in no more danger or getting,
Into a flirtation with her than he is j
R-ith his grandmother.

MONDAY EVENING.
HUSBAND
And women know this intuitively,
and they waste no time nor smiles
upon him. He has got "taken" brand
ed across his forehead, and even a
feminine love pirate respects it.
Therefore, when a husband's af
fections have been stolen, you may be
very sure that he has been guilty of,
at least, contributory negllgenco In the
matter.
1 He has left them lying around
loose In the way of any woman with
predatory instincts and light fingers
who chanced to pass that" way, and
sh<* is not wholly to blame if she took
them.
If husband had been safe at home,
where he belonged, no lady burglar
could have broken down the door and
purloined him from his own hearth.
In their fatuous belief that the other
woman is a highway robber, who has
held , a man up at the point of a gun
and forcibly taken his heart away from
him, many wives are silly enough to
actually appeal to the women to re
turn their property to them.
They talk as if love were a peck of
potatoes, or a diamond ring, that one
could keep or restore at pleasure. How
absurd! If a man has really ceased
to care for his wife and come to love
another woman, the other woman is as
helpless In the matter as his wife.
A Hopritu Appeal
| If she is a bad woman she can hu
! mlliate and mock the wife for not be
ing able to hold her own. If she is a
; good woman she can pity the wife, but
jail of that does not rekindle the flame
|of affection for his wife In the hus
! band's breast.
j In reality there Is no such thing as
a husband stealer. When a woman is
!in possession of the affections of an
-1 other woman's husband he has made
her a present of his heart. She hasn't
filched it, and the only way a wife can
: take out a burglar policy against hav-
I ing her husband stolen Is to keep him
jso interested he doesn't want to be
| stolen.

Turks Making Further
Efforts to Gain Control
of Armenian Church'
Washington, Sept. 18.—Further steps
by the Turkish government to destroy
the Democratic organization or Arme
nian Church in Turkey and place it more
securely under Moslem direction are
reported in dispatches received in effl
clal quarters lu.'e.
Appointment of the bishops of the
Armenian Church of Ottoman nation
ality Is one of the latest re'orms or
dered, and the so-called " national as- ;
sembly" of the church, established in
1279 and elected by popular vote among
the Armenians, has been supplanted by
a new "spiritual assembly" with limi
ted power over affairs pertaining only
to management of religious, education
al and charitable institutions. The
Ottoman Government reserves the right
to veto election or any of the bishops
composing the new "spiritual assembly."
The State Department is studying ]
the effect of the nw decrees and while !
It cpuld not protest against religious ,
decree the regulations may be taken
into consideration when the American
Ambassador Elkus takes up with the
Turkish Government the general ques
tion of Its treatment of Americans.

HARRXSBXJHG tfjjfflfl WORAPH
HBG. RIFLE ASSN.
HAS STATE RECORD
Activities Rife Among Members
of Local Branch of National
Organization
A letter recently received from the
War Depurtment by the Harrlsburg
Rifle Association confirms the report
that the local association, comprising
fifty-seven members, who are more or
less expert with the rifle, has made the
highest record of shooting in the state
of Pennsylvania. Inasmuch as there
are thiity-seven branches of the Na
| tional Rifle Association in the state,
the record of the Harrlsburg branch
|is exceptionally gooa. Out of those
who have shot the militia course,
i which requires forty shots from the
300-yard range, rapid and slow flre,
prone, kneeling and sitting, the club
is represented by twelve sharpshoot
ers and twtnty-seven marksmen. There
are no "bolo" men, which is a term
equivalent to the "booby" prize, nor
on the other hand are there any ex
perts, but the latter is the exception
even among crack army shots.
Activities among the Harrisburg
Rifle Association, which was organized
last Spring with a large percentage of
its membership composed of men on
<japltol Hill, are numerous In weather
that Is good for outdoor work. It is
a semirritlltary body, with many mem
bers who are interested solely for the
pleasure of handling a gun and some
who were inspired to join through pre
paredness and patriotic motives. There
:ire no obligations attached to the
organization in case of war.
A recent match was held for mem
bers of the assocaition in competition
tor a seven-Inch cup presented by the
National Sportsman, a well-known
magazine. The match was shot on
Labor Day and won by Dr. E. L. Den
niston with a score of 126. Other
scores worthy of mention were: C. S.
Landis, 110; James Thompson and
George W. Thompson, each, 101, and
Fisher, 93. Arrangements are
now being made for a match between
five-men teams representing the De
partment of Labor and Industry and
the State Highway Department. The
cup will be partially presented by Com
missioner John Price Jackson.
Practice at this time being held
on the Lucknow rifle range of Com
panies D and I, Eighth Pennsylvania
Infantry, but negotiations are under
way, p.ccording to President H. A.
Douglas, for the securing of a site
along the Conodoguinet creek, on the
other side of the river, that will be
adequate for an 800-yard rangfc.
The local association Is on the look
out for a slice of the $300,000 provided
In tho congressional appropriation for
the promotion of rifle practice. The
matter is In the hands of the National
Board for the Promotion of Rifie Prac
tice.
The local association will hold a
meeting some time next week for the
purpose of affiliating a number of new
members with the organization.

(Continued From Yesterday.)
Suddenly the problemist forgot the
crytogram and the motionless woman
at the table. His ears had caught a
sound in the empty house. His acute
hearing strained to tne utmost, he lis
tened. Some one was stealthily mak
ing his way along the dark halls. Mc
mann? Had the polled picked up the
trail again? Were tney going to spoil
it beore Colton had gotten the thing
for which he had come? He knew
McMann would find the place, there
was too much bull-dog In the police
officer ever to give up because he had
been lost by the big car and the daring
Michael. But Colton wanted to beat
him to just one thing. The listener
was outside the room door now.
"Why did you murder your broth
er?" Colton shot the question.
The old woman did not even raise
her head. "Because he deserved It!
Because "
The crash of the flung-open door
shook the big house. A voice came
to the blind man's ears:
"So you did do it! You did! You
killed the father of that girl! You
Colton's smooth voice cut in: "Sit
down. Bracken! I've been waiting
for • you!"
The problemist heard the man
whirl to face him. "Who are y,ou?
Colton, eh? The blind man! You
got here first, did >ou?"
"I've been waiting some time."
Thornley Colton spoke patiently.
"Where's Ruth?" 'Again Colton
heard the man whirl as ht> turned to
ward the woman, but the blind man
answered the question:
"Your wife Is at tny house."
"Your house?"
"Yes. Sit down, as I told you.
Silver Sandals Is working on the
cryptogram that means the girl's for
tune."
The blind man's ears heard the
sharp intake of breath.
"Where did you get it?"
Again the question was addressed
to the silent woman. Again Colton
answered:
"I gave it to her. She must have
time to solve It. The girl's future is
on that papyrus."
"Her future." All the snarl, the
wrath was gone from the man's voice.
Colton could picture him, staring at
the woman, who gave no sign of his
existence: whose whole mind was
fixed on the thing before her. Again
Silver Sandals was deaf and dumb to
the world. Colton, who appeared to
be watching so intently, was blind.
The man who stood in the center of
the room in the big, empty house
was the one Colton had accused of
murder.
"She said that she killed him?" he
asked. "She said that?" The second
repetition was a hard-voiced demand.
"She has confessed," Colton assur
ed him.
"The confession is a lie!" Bracken
almost shouted the words. "A lie,
understand!" he leaned forward so
that the very words seemed to strike
the blind man in the face. "I killed
Neitton!"
"X know It." Colton nodded sol
emnly.
"Yes, I killed him!" The husband
of the girl who was locked In the room
at Thornley Colton's house was walk
ing back and forth before the blind
man like a caged tiger. "The girl
never had a chance. She was his slave.
She wouldn't leave him to his fool
books and theories. He gave me the
opportunity. It was simple. Now
she's free!",
"Is she?" Colton demanded, his
voice curiously quiet. "Doesn't the
million dollars that the solving of the
cryptogram means go to her? I
found evidence that pointed to her
presence in the suite—a hair on the
floor!."
"She wasn't near the suite!"
Bracken's voice fairly trembled with
fear, and in it, too, the problemist
detected the shock of surprise. That
was a possibility Bracken had not
suspected. "That's a lie, and you
know It!" The blind man's knees
felt the touch of Bracken's knees, so
close was he. The hot breath of
the man struck his face. "You know
that 1 am the only one who could have
killed him! I was with him! I knew
his plans!"
Colton did not answer. He leaned
far back in the chair. His face, with
the tortoise-rimmed glasses pushed
high on his forehead, was raised, the
brown eyes appeared to be reading the
innermost thoughts of the man who
stood over him. He could feel the
tremble in Bracken's knpes. He
cold hear the steady breathing of the
woman. He knew that she had not
betrayed, by move of a muscle, that
she had heard. He knew that her
head was still bent in study over the
papyrus figures.
"Why don't you arrest me?" de
manded Bracken hoarsely. "Take me
away!"
"I'm not a policeman," Colton
answered smoothly. He had lowered
his head, so that the man standing
over him could not see the new lines
that came around the brown eyes;
lines that the strain of listening to
some far-off sound had brought.
"You're worse than a policeman!"
The tone was bitter. "You've spoiled
the whole game from the start with
your infernal "
"Spoiling the games of murderers
is a sort of hobby with me," Colton
interrupted. "Isn't it, Silver Sandals?"
"Don't bother her!" Bracken fairly
snarled the command. "Call your
police. The 'phone's In the next
room!"
"Unnecessary." Colton waved his
hand. "In a moment you'll hear the
police at the front door. A Fairfield
sixty, with Captain McMann, is com
ing up the long driveway to the
house."
"I'll go out to meet them!" Bracken
turned to the silent woman, glanced
at her a minute, but did not speak
to interrupt her work. He took a step
toward the door.
Colton's hand shot out to grasp his
arm. "We'll wait here!" he said
sharply. "The police are on the
porch."
They could hear the heavy footsteps
now. Then the Insistent clang at the
front door.
The woman rose, and Colton spoke
quickly: "The front door is unlocked.
