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.

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

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.”

“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.

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

pointees, no matter how good their intentions or how great their zeal, Yet

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
