HILIP WHITECASTLE, his jaw set, nervously hung up the tele- phone receiver. He turned to his beautiful wife, daintily clad in a kimono, a look of abject terror.in his honest blue eyes. :\ “Mary,” his words froze in his throat. He was shaking as one shakes during a nervous chill. He tried to speak, but his words choked and died in a husky voice strangely overpow- ered by emotion. His eyes, like ghosts peeping from tombs, finally rested in a blank stare on the family Bible, still open after the quiet hour of evening devotions. “Philip,” came the gentle voice of a woman with poise and balance. “Phil- ip, what on earth has happened; who telephoned to you at this hour; what was the message?” It was several minutes before this strong man could talk coherently. In broken sentences, punctuated by long pauses, jerking muscles and deep sobs, Mrs. Whitecastle learned that a news- paper reporter from the Morning Life had telephoned her husband. The re- porter had informed Philip that the Morning Life would carry a story con- necting his name with that of a wom- an, a recluse, who had just died. “What comment has Mr. Whitecas- tle to make?’ the reporter inquired. The little illuminated clock on the mantel struck eleven. Lv $050 APA o iC SAN adv HORRY 59059. Z 50550550 SATRATSATS S05 ~2 Lov Philip, without a word, limped to the door. “But, Philip, surely you are not go- ing out tonight? William isn’t home yet, and I'm afraid to be alone.” The last words of this gentle pro- test were unheard by Philip. He was blindly groping his way down the street. Just as the little illuminated clock struck twelve a knock came at the door. “Who is there?’ and Mrs. Whitecas- tle attempted to conceal her fear. “It’s me, mother; it’s William—Ilet me in—oh, please hurry”’—and his voice was full of agitation; he was like some one in a trance being chased by burglars. “Mother, mother, dear,” he cried, as the door opened. He shoved into the hand of this brave little woman a copy of the Morning Life. There, on the front page, like daggers, in glar- ing red letters, she read: “Philip Whitecastle’s With Woman.” Her eyes glistening with scalding tears she read on while William stood silently as one struck dumb: “The death of an unknown recluse in a dark, musty room at 123 Jane street is linked with the name of Philip Whitecastle, married, church- man, and the dean of engineers on the M. F. 'T. railroad. A joint bank ac- count book was found in her room when police investigated ‘late last night.” Mrs. Whitecastle, after a long pause and a struggle at self-control, was the first to speak: “William, my son, your father and I have lived an ideal married life. You are now twenty-one years of age. For twenty-five glorious years your father and I have been pals, sweethearts. No cloud has marred our happiness. Whatever that cruel newspaper story suggests will be satisfactorily ex- plained by your father. We have trusted each other implicitly, and long ago we agreed never to doubt each other on apparent circumstances woven by second-hand information. I know everything will be all right, my boy.” “But, mother, Jane told me—" A key rattled in the keyhole of the door. The door opened. Philip White- castle with three reporters at his heels, entered. “Mr. Whitecastle,” began one re- porter “you have, no doubt, read the morning paper?” “Yes.” “Well, what is the real story back of this mysterious setting?” “Mysterious?’ and Philip shrugged his shoulders helplessly. “Perhaps you prefer that your wife and son leave the room while we dis- cuss this affair?” “On the contrary, remain,” “Mr. Whitecastle, back of the death of this recluse, this woman, is a story, an interesting story, I might say. The Name Linked 1 insist that they public demands that we print the news. We propose to get that story from your lips, if possible, but, re- gardless of that, we have enough facts right now to write a story. “We know that you and this woman had a joint bank account. You had had it for many years. We know that you frequently visited her. We knsw that she left $50,000. We know that you were the only one with a key to her trunk, to her jewel box. We know that you invested money for her. We suspect that she was once a wom- an of power and influence—ah, yes— even refinement, I dare say. “What is the story?” “Well, boys,” Fhilip asserted frank- ly, “it would seem that you fellows have enough dysamite there to con- coct any kind of story you choose to write.” Mrs. Whitecastle and William sat ‘to snow.” This silent, drinking in every word in this strarge drama, “You refuse, then, light on your connection with this woman—this joint bank account?” “I refuse to make any comment,” and Philip Whitecastle opened the door, at the same time handing the reporters their hats. “Philip, dear,” and Mrs, tle paused, almost afraid to frame the question, “Philip, those terrible in- sinuations cannot be true; they can’t, Please let me hear you say that they are not true. Tell me it is all a mis- take—Philip—oh, darling, tell me—did you know that woman?” “Yes,” with a note of triumph in his voice. “Did you love her?" “With all my heart.” “Who—who was she—what was her name?” “She—she—was my mother.” Whitecas- Treaty Makes Definite Ownership of Islands “lost” islands will be reat- tached to the Philippines by a con- vention between England and the Unit- ed States fixing the boundary between North Borneo and the Philippine archi- pelago, Mislaying islands in the Philippines is easier than it would seem, National Geographic society, there are approximately in the archipelago, distributed over an area equal in length to the distance from Palataka, Fla., to Mackinaw City, Mich, Taganak, most important of the sev- en “lost” islands, is only a mile long. Some of the others are merely clumps of trees on small rocks or coral patches. None is inhabited, England has been administering the seven “lost” them the little attention they need. On Taganak is a lighthouse marking the entrance to Sandakan harbor, the Seven because most important port on the North Borneo coast. The provision of the old Spanish and British treaty has been found im- possible of fulfillment, because “nine nautical miles off the coast” says the | 7,000 islands | creates | to throw any | islands off Borneo, giving | an impossible surveying problem, due | to the sinuous curves off the Borneo | coast, So an imaginary line has drawn across the ocean and it is speci- fied that all the islands and rocks | been | north of this line, and this means most | of the group known as the Turtle is- | lands, will go to the Philippines. In adition to Taganak there are Great Bakkungaan, Langaan, Lihiman, Boa- an, Baguan and the Mangsees lying north of Mangsee channel, Although the islands are uninhabited and very difficult to reach, because of the barriers of coral which surround them, natives go to them regularly to gather coconuts and turtle eggs. The Turtle islands, as they are lo- cally called, and the Mangsees, lie along the southern edge of the Sulu sea and are as far south of Manila as Charleston, 8, C,, is south of New York. “Too Cold to Snow” The weather bureau says the great- er number of more or less heavy snows come with southerly to easterly winds, 1. e, in what is known as the “rainy” portion of the cyclonic or storm area. These winds generally are relatively mild, As the storm passes, the winds come from the northwest, roughly, and are relatively cold. In short, precipitation comes with relatively warm easterly to southerly winds, and clear weather follows with relatively cold northwest winds. If, then, the winter wind is from the northwest, it is cold, and from the wrong direction to give much snow. This presumably is the origin of the saying: “It is too cold statement, however, is not literally true, for light snows egn occur at any temperature, and, indeed, it occasionally happens that heavy snows occur when the surface air is quite cold. Early Postage Stamps The use of postage stamps was au- thorized in this country in 1845, but congress made no provision for print- ing them, For the next two years the postmasters of various cities produced their own stamps, impressed with ink directly on the envelope. In 1847 the Post Office department was empowered to issue national stamps, and all the local postmasters’ stamps were ordered destroyed. The first stamp was sold July 1, 1847; the first stamped enve- lope in June, 1833, and the first stamped newspaper wrapper in 1861. During the Civil war small coin was so scarce that encased postage stamps were used as money. A New York man, John Gault, received a patent on these flat circular metal cases for the stamps, protecting them with a thin sheet of mica. Then There Is Limburger She was giving an order to the grocer, “And I require some cheese,” she said. “Yes, miss,” replied the grocer, smil- ing amiably; “I have cheese.” “You should not say ‘lovely cheese’!” said the customazr severely. some “But why no: miss? It is lovely cheese!” “Because”—she tried to combine maidenly modesty with an air of learn- ing—*‘because lovely should only be used to qualify something that is alive.” The grocer’s smile broadened as he glanced at the Gorgonzola. “Well, miss,” he said, “I'll stick to ‘lovely’ I"—Progressive Grocer. lovely CURE FOR PAROLE EVILS By PROF. E. W. BURGESS, University of Chicago SCIENTIFIC board of pardons and paroles, entirely divorced from polities, would be an iraportant element in crime solution. a\ Our present parole activities ought to be raised from a so-called “common sense” basis to a scientific level. Until that is done there isn’t much hops cf real progress being made toward the reform of the criminal or crime prevention. People fail to realize that crime is an acute social ill, requiring the services of an expert diagno in and spe- cialist in treatment, the same as a person afflicted with a Imagine having the surgical staff of a hospital composed of political ap- pointees, no matter how good their intentions or how great their zeal, Yet that is what we do in determining the fate of criminals, mental or emotional ailments may be as diversified as the hundr f patients ling disease. within a hospital. The best plan for a scientific board of pardons would call for nine specialists, serving for nine years in rotation, one new ap} tment being made each year as one expired, classified as follows: psycl st, sociolo- gist, educator, industria! educator, criminal lawyer, representative of organized labor, and thice ontstanding socially minded citizens, The present agitation about the simultaneous release of 600 cunmen might be unwarranted nuder such a circumstance, as tl lement of such a board would be the warrant that in 99 cases out of 100 the release would be justified and the convict would go straight. Science has about reached the point where it can predict human conduct and if applied to the problem of pardon and | it would almost unfailingly register whether it is safe or not to rel. se a convicted man.
