Rave you ever thought how dif
ficult it was to find an unbroken
family? Most of us are fragments
of families here and there strug
gling as best we may. We think
of father, mother and relatives,
now scattered like the mist of the
morning. There is something in
this that makes us forget each
other's welware when we become
separated. How often do we write
to brother or sister? We dare say
if you sit down to count the days,
it has been months, perhaps years
Once in a while a letter passes j
telling of the old love, and asking
to be forgiven for not writing soon
er. and then a long silence. A
telegram is handed you: your fing
ers tremble as you tear open the
envelop: you read mother or sister
died on such a day. You go away
by yourself and shed a few scalding
tears and regret a thousand times
your negligenge to the dear ones.
It is now too late to do better by
that mother or sister in the days to
come. This bread world gets us
too far part. The duties of life so
absorbed our time that we forget
things that should be remembered.

Mrs Harlow was so essentially a
matchmaker that It was Impossible
■or her to see any unattached person
without being lired with a desire to
lind some other unattached person ol
the opposite sex and approximately
suitable age. bring them together and
launch them upon the troubled sea ol
matrimony. That her brother, Tom
Hobbs, was still unmarried was due
to no lack of energy on her part.
Consequently, when Tom received
her invitation to pass his vacation at
her summer home he grinned know
ingly "Wonder what kind of female
person she’s going to hook me up with
this time?" he chuckled to himself.
Heitig thus prepared in his own
mind, he was neither surprised nor
disgruntled when he stepped out ol
the motor car on to his sister's wide
front porch to find the wealthy, if
no longer strictly youthful. Miss Kob
bins gracefully postured In a reclin
lug chair. He was somewhat sur
prised, however, a short time later,
when his sister explained with a
troubled expression that the extreme
ly prosperous, though slightly passe.
Miss Trotter was expected the next
day.
"I hadn’t planned to have those two |
girls here at the same time,” she ,
fretted, "Init Molly Trotter wrote and
asked if she might come two weeks !
eatlier than I had Intended to have |
her, and then it was too late to put I
Miss Robbins off. I'm afraid it won t
he a bit nice or the way 1 meant to
have ft.”
"Don't worry, old lady,” said Hobbs
RQOthingly. “I’ll promise to be per
fectly impartial.”
“But 1 don’t want you to—’’ began
Mrs. Barlow. But Hobbs interrupted
her with a shout of laughter.
“Oh, Polly, Polly!" he cried. "You
certainly are the prize ostrich.”
For the succeeding two weeks
Hobbs devoted himself with the
greatest assiduity to the two young
women. Mrs. Barlow looked on with
ill concealed discomfort, while her
brother joyfully took drives aud walks
and excursions of various kinds with
the two "girls.”
Thus the days wore away more or
less pleasantly until the day before
Tom's departure for town Mrs. Bar
low had arranged a beach party and
about ten o'clock that morning, being
driven to desperation by the number
less accidents which invariably at
tend the preparations for such festivi
ties, she ferreted Tom out to inform
him unreservedly that she considered
him a hopeless idiot. Upon being told
why, Hobbs assured her that he had
proposed to both her other guests and
had been rejected by both.
“I told you 1 would be perfectly Im
partial,” he concluded.
The beach party was a success in
so far as beach parties can be termed
successes when participated in by
those who have outgrown their keen
enjoyment of sand in sandwiches and
mosquitoes in coffee. However, as
they all sat around the lire alter sup
per there was a distinct atmosphere
of hilarity. The middle aged < oun
tenances had begun to assume that
expression of pleased anticipation
which indicates that home and bed
are beginning to loom in sight. It
had become quite dark and the scene
was lit ui) only occasionally by a
faint glow from the dying lire.
Then Barlow, exhilarated by the
lively social converse and ginger ale.
suddenly drew out his mat,"h safe.
"1 never think it's a real picnic un
less everybody holds hands. Now,
one, two, three, I'm going to find out
who’s losing his opportunity.”
As the match flared up for an In
stant there were two distinct ladylike j
giggles and what appeared to be a
genteel scuffle in the place where j
Hobbs sat between Miss Bobbins and I
Miss Trotter. Then the match went
out, but not before every one had got
full view of the two hands of Hobbs
vis he raised them aloft. In his right
hand squirmed the left hand of Miss
Robbins; in his left were the dainty
digits of Miss Trotter.
"I always aim to be perfectly lm
partial," said Hobbs.
"No gentleman could (lave done
such a thing," declared Mrs. Barlow
to her brother a few moments later,
ns she stalked haughtily beside him
back to the house, followed at some
distance by her husband, Hanked on
either side by a statuesque and coldly
silent figure. “It any one had-told
me that a brother or mine could have
so far forgotten himself 1 never would
have believed it”
"I’m awiully sorry,” murmured
Hobbs meekly, "but I'm so spontane
ous, Polh dear. I really didn't know
1 was going to do it until it was all
over. I'm such a child of nature. I
just bubble over with spirits.'
"Child ot fiddlesticks!" said Mrs
Barlow "You need a straitjacket and
a keeper Please go on up to bed be
forev the others get here and I shall
be very glad it you can make it con
venient to leave before the rest ot us
get up in the morning I’ll see that
breakfast is prepared for you Other
wise. I wash my hands of you."
Inasmuch as she had washed hex
hands ol him, the news ol his engage
ment to the charming but impecuni
ous, daughter of his landlady—which
news he wrote to her a few days after
his return to town—ought not to have
caused her a ripple of unpleasant emo
tion Nevertheless it did.
STARVING BOY FOUND IN CAR
James Gilloran, Prisoner 48 Hourn,
Chewed Clothes Before Relented
in Willis Avenue Yards.
New York.—Ragged, dirty and al
most unconscious from hunger and
thirst, Janies Gilloran, lift on years
| r*ld, who lives with his parents at 172
Ifranklin avenue, New Haven, Conn.,
was dragged from a freight car in the
Willis avenue yards of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad. He
had been locked in the car since it
left New Haven, forty-eight hours be
fore. He was taken to the Children’s
society and will be sent home.
According to the story he told the
police of the Alexander avenue po
lice station, in the Bronx, the lad.
although standing well in his class at
school, was seized with wanderlust
and decided to seek a fortune New
York.
He climbed into a freight car in 'lie
New Haven railroad yards. A short,
time after he had hidden himself a
yard man locked the door of the car.
The train had gone several miles
before the boy realized that he was
trapped. In a f!a«h his ambitions van
ished and he became homesick and
very badly frightened. He grew hun
gry and thirsty. He beat upon the
door and shrieked for assistance, but
passing trains drowned his cries. His
hunger became a desperate craving.
He pulled the buttons off his clothes
and gnawed them. He chewed tip his
linen. In his madness he tore his
clothes until they were a mass of rags
James Cullen, a vatchman in the
Willis avenue yards, passing a freight
car, heard a strange noise. He opened
the door and dragged the boy out,
more dead than alive. At the police
station tlie policemen gave him crack
ers and milk.
“You don't need to guard he
wailed. “I’ll go home all right.”
SLAYLR IS HUMAN ENIGMA
Russian Who S*rangled Girl Declares
He Did Nothing Shameful or
Infamous.
London. — "Vadim the Vampire”
(Nikolai Ratkewitrehj, who has been
sentenced at St. Petersburg to eight
years' hard labor for strangling a
young girl, whom lie calmly souglit in
the street after planning his crime,
h;ts proved an insoluble enigma to the
greatest mental e-\|>erts in Russia.
After studying him for two years
past, says Renter, they are all at va
riance as to his degree of responsibil
ity.
When in jail and in the lunatic asy
lum he talked reasonably on all topics
except that of murder, refusing to al
low that murder was a crime. It was,
he maintained, simply a weakness or
a passion, such as drinking or gam
bling.
11 is letters to ills father and moth
er before the murder breathe affection
and consideration and he described
himself as a lost man, the product of
his age.
After the murder he wrote to his j
parents as follows:
"Your idea* of crime are out of
date. 1 have done nothing shameful
or infamous, if 1 were a thief it would
bo different. It would be absurd to
be ashamed of me because I am a mur
deier. 1 am not a criminal. I am a
murderer by conviction. Only an ig
norant jury could find me guilty. Be
ing Innocent, I will not go to penal
servitude. I will find the means of
taking my own life.”
Indifferent to his own comrort,
Itatkewitsch was generosity itself in i
his relations with the poor creatures
witn whom he shared the scant hos
pitality of the St. Petersburg night
shelters.
If he received money from his par
ents he distributed it with an open
hand, even when he himself had no
overcoat nor a shirt.

FINDS TAPIR IN HER YARD
Animal, Escapsd From a Snow, Is
Captured After Eitlny Men
Who Are Sent After It.
Dixon, Til.—To find a large South
American tapir in your ^thicken yard
among her Plymouth Rocks was the
experience of .Mrs. Charles Ruggles
of No. 910 Highland avenue, when she
started out to feed the family flock.
Mrs. Ruggles screamed and the entire
neighborhood was aroused.
The animal had been badgered by
dogs and was in a rage when the
keepers of the snow from which It.
had escaped arrived. Some of them
were severely bitten before he was
captured.
The tapir, which cost $1,000, had
broken out of Ills cage in the animal
arena of the show. Searchers were
out thirty-six hours, but could not find
the animal. He had been feasting on
the surrounding strawberries and had
destroyed several beds.
The management promptly paid the
large reward offered for his capture,
and the women in the neighborhood
have come out of their storm cellars
and everything Is tranquil again.
At 98 is a Stoic.
