' I J By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DEWATER, As Dr. Haynes, the attractive widow seated at his side, drove his car toward the railroad station at Pleafanton, they met a stream of commuters. Among i them was Henry Blanchard. He started jwlth pleased surprise at sight, of Bea trice and waved his hat gaily. The 'woman felt her cheeks flush as she' t bowed in "return. ; "That's a funny old chap," laughed 'the doctor as they sped across the tracks 'at the crossing. "He's a . very good friend of mine," Isald Beatrice, stiffly, j "Surely," agreed the physician, "but even you must admit that he is old and 'funny." To which comment the widow made no reply. The remainder of the drive home was (Uneventful, The pleasure of the motion 'roused Beatrice to chat brightly, and, ; although the doctor divided his attention ! between the machine and herself, she (noted that she received no larger share 'of his notice than had been hers dur ing the morning.' The pair had exchanged no speech for itenmlnutes whftn the "doctor brought "his" car ; to a stop before his companion's home. Still silently, he helped her to alight, and she, spurred to a final effort to. arouse him, smiled frankly up into .his 'face and urged him to "come in f.or ;a few momenta" I The doctor looked at his watch before replying, the nshook bis head decidedly "Can't do it," he said. "I'm sorry for j jl'd like to see the little girl. But these jare my office hours, and I must go." j But the widow detained him for a mo tnent as she held out her hand in bid- dins him goodbye. "I . thank you a thousand times. Dr. Haynes," she said sweetly, "for a lovely I day. I have enjoyed it ever so much, and the pleasure is all due to you." ' "And I've, enjoyed' it too," : responded the physician absently,' his eyes fixed on ; his automobile. "I so seldom get a chanc j to try out my machine on a country road that I was glad to do so today." With which tactful remark he dropped her hand, turned quickly and "cranked up" his car, and, lifting his hat, sprang Into the automobile and drove away with out so much as a glance in her direc tlon. , "Pig!" was Beatrice's vindictive sotto voce exclamation as she went into the "house. .. , . -' . ' . . The' children received her joyfully and she forgot for the time her chagrin in the gratification of the mother love that was. perhaps, i the only genuine affection she had ever felt. She answered patiently the multitude of 'childish questions regard'ng i the nw summer home, and told of hei 'intention of taking the little ones there before the next week had passed. "Did Dr. Haynes like the place?" asked Jean. , "Very njuch, dear," answered th mother. "He says you will get well fast In that lovely spot, and just as soon as you are stronger we'll go.". , "Are there nice people there, mother?' queried Jack; dubiously. ' - "Yes, indeed," declared Beatrice. "There are Mr. and Mrs. Robbing, and and- .Mr. Blanchard's going to be there most ol ' the summer." "Umph!" grunted Jack, discontentedly "I don't ilke him. He's Jus' tike an old 'goats, 'cept now he's cut off his whisk ers." For the second time that afternoon Beatrice found herself contralned to Stand 'up for her potential fiance, "Do you like him very much, mother?' queried Jack, with a child's brutal frank ness. "Very much." replied Beatrice, firmly. "All right, then, said the boy, re signedly. "But, honest, mother, he did used to look just like a old billy goat and his whiskers flapped up and down when he talked, and' " "Jack!" warned the mother, angrily, and the boy. after one look at her stem face, said meekly, "Yes'm," and subsided Into silence. But the lad's att'tude an jnoyed his mother more than she would 1 have been willing td admit. She ioved het . little son as a mother only loves her man 'child, and it gave her a sensation of un- easy compunction to think that she was ' considering as a husband for herself, and la stepfather for her children, a man fot whom her boy. had only contempt. ' Jean had a restless nifht, and , the mother found her feverish' when morn 'Ing came. " Her" heart sank at the re currence of the child's Indisposition, and 1 after breakfast Bhe telephoned the doc tor. On hearing of Jean's condition he 'promised to call, but reassured Beatrice i by the assertion that he expected a re currence of the malarial trouble, and That as yet it was nothing that need cause alarm. He would be In to see the child later; in the morning. He, came about noon-time. Beatrice had looked forward to his arrival as tc an opportunity for a quiet chat with him. But he was brusque, businesslike and evidently hurried. Yet he was, as ever, gentle with the sick child. In the hall, after having bade the small patient a cheery goodbye and promising her that she would, be. better again soon, he turned suddenly 'to Beatrice. ; "Mrs. Minor," he said abruptly, "when do you mean to go to Pleasanton?" "I've been thinking of 'leaving next Thursday or Friday." "Why not before then?" he demanded. "Why I haven't thought" began ; the widow hesitatingly, but he interrupted her. "Have you anything to do which could not be done in a couple of days If abso lutely necessary?" , '"Well, no, not exactly," acknowledged Beatrice. "But"- ' ' - rnen, ne ; sair curtly," "ma,Ke your arrangement to get off by Monday at the latest." "I have some shopping to do," said the widow more decidedly. "Unless it is Im perative"' "It is!" broke In the physician. "Whiie your child is not seriously 111 the fever Is sapping her vitality. Every extra hour you-stay in. town you are depriving her of fresh country ; air. You told me Just now that it would be possible for you to go soon. Then go soon. Good day!" "I believe he's a brute!" declared Bea trice at her vexed self as the door slam med behind him. Yet she was conscious that In her heart lurked a secret admir ation for his strength and power.

What is td be done with the gang? What can be done for the bad boy who is a terror both at home and in school; the leader or member of a gang of small boys who begins by mischievously de stroying the property of others, and who, under the evil Influence of older boys, acquires the vicious habits which lead him finally Into the. children's court or in the reform Bchool? Wherever the welfare of children Is discussed Mrs. Clarence Burns' views are of special importance and significance, because she" has devoted almost twenty years of ' her life to the cause of the child. Now, as the head of the Little Mothers' association, she has established a practical method of training small girls in the art of housekeeping and house- making. "As chairman of the playgrounds com mlttee." said Mrs. Burns, "I had for merly a great deal of experience with the so-called bad boys, and most of them certainly lived up to the'r reputation until we found an outlet for their ener gies. "A good deal of so-called badness or naughtiness is Just pent-up animal spir its. If you give the child an outlet for this energy, something which Is interest ing at the same time, you will have no trouble in managing -him. Outdoor exer cises and gymnastic work which the boy get in the playgrounds are the very best thing for this kind of a child, and it Is because we haven't enough playgrounds and enouKh interesting gymnastic work and outdoor game. and especially oe- cause there aren't sufficient places to BIO.JIUH HDUUL BIX Xftr in h Pht anri unlike all other clocks, the pendulum is play In near the congested districts, that the motor. It is suspended on an edged children of this type get Into mischief. pivqi or naraenea 'steel in order to re duce Melon to a minimum. This pen dulum weighs about forty-flvo poundf, its centrarrod terminating midway be tween the ball and the point of suspen sion, where there Is an ordinary perma nentf magnet. Fastened against the back part of the clock base at right singles to the permanent magnet Is an electro mag net, the wire of which runs Into the ground, the earth becoming the. battery feeding the electro magnet. When the pendulum Is swung, away from the perpendicular the opposite poles of the two magnets first attract and then repel, thus keeping up the oscillation. At the top of the case the wheels are fastened to tubes or hollow spindles which are suspended In turn upon steel studs or pins, which In their turn are securely fastened into a main metal base or framework. The first wheel Is a rachet or second hand wheel which receives Its motion from ; two pawls pivoted upon the upper crossbar of the pendulum rods. One remarkable feature in the con struction of the clock Is that there are only four bearings that are subjected to the Icuat friction. Drawbaugh confi dently stated that his clock would run for hundreds of years before any part would have to be renewed. In making the clock ready for work it Is necessary to dig a hole In the earth about three feet In diameter and six feet deep. Metal plates are placed In the hole with enough coke to hold moisture and the timepiece can be run so that it will not gain or lose t?e seconds in a year. 'The great trouble is that the child who Is full of surplus vitality and en ergy, and who runs about the street, is apt to come into contract with the child who has criminal tendencies, who Is either a moral delinquent " or feeble minded. "It should be a simple matter to deal with the child who has criminal or de generate tendencies, for such children should be segregated. "I don't believe in putting children In homes or Institutions unless it is abso lutely necessary, but In the case of the child with criminal instincts It Is neces sary, and some system must be evolved which will compel parents of such children to realize that the children are bstter off away from their families, where they can have no chance to harm or to con taminate the minds of their sisters ant brothers or playmates. "Under normal condltlolns the child's own home is the only real place for a child to be brought up in; but .It fre quently happens that a child has no real home. If the mother Is a widow or a deserted wife. If she has to work all day to support ' her children, the latter are necessarily free to roam the streets and to seek any kind of associates that chance throws in their way. ' Now, if the state, . Instead of taking the children away from the-mother and putting them Into homes or institutions, would pay her a pension provided, of course, she were the right kind of a mother she would have tlm to look after her children, and much of the rowdyism and the so-called badness would be stopped. . , It it V-W-; " 1 9 MRS. CLARENCE BURNS. 1 According to Mrs. Burns, a good deal of so-called badness or naughti ness Is just pent-up animal spirits. If the child Is given an outlet (or this energy, she says, it will be easy to manage him. 'The widowed mother's pension lias been successfully tr'ed In other states; why can't It be tried here?" Dr. Edward Louis Blsch, formerly of Manhattan State hospital and Post Graduate hospital, has made something of a specialty of the so-called bad boy, the feeble-minded nd tha moral delin quent. , Dr. Blsch's advice to parents Is: "Never beat a child. Within the first year or two the child is all sensation, and a slap here and there will do no harm, but once the emotions come Into play tha effect of besting a child Is very harmful. "First, the effect on the mind Is bad. The child feels that the parent is taking advantage of a helpless and weaker be ing, and such a beating necessarily breed' a feeling of rowdyism and a desire for dictatorship over other beings weaker than himself. "Then scientists claim that beating a child arnuves in that child abnormal pas sion and Instincts, and that It is more difficult to uplift and control a child that has been beaten." "Wr, Birch, will you tell me how science accounts for certain criminal tendencies and symptons in children and how they are going to be cured?" "Science can't always account for it," returned Dr. Blsch. 'Through the pro cess of psycho-analysis physicians and psychologists are endeavoring to find out the original caufe of the abnormal ten dencies. Frequently the child has re. celved some terrific shock to the emo tions, a great fright, perhaps, or his been suddenly brought to a realization of things or conditions which the child's brain Is too undeveloped to grasp prop erly. "In the congested quarters of the city, where large families are forced to live r Erf ;, 'iI Sj ( t ' I two I i ill 1 When a woman said recently that woman is the first to' fall In. love, there was a stir of surprise and interest In the men's camp. Amused silence in the wo men's. ' "The wo men had known It all the tlms. But they hadn't'ehosen to take the men Into their confi dence In the nut ter. They never will so choose, not at leat, in the case of the i men to whom they have a s p e c la 1 interest, those men who ars trying to win them -trying, A man wonders Mindly when he will marry. He may spare himself the trouble of guessing. He will marry when the girl who' has made up her mind to marry him chooses. A few dreamy-eyed persons still talk about fats and In fancy see a grave faced woman spinning and weaving the web of their future. Bosh! A man's fate is determined by quite a different person, a woman not grave of face, but merry, who weaves his future-not by a spindle, but with a perfumed fan. Someone dimly .feeling this truth long ago voiced It by naming' the girl he was to marry a man s "fate." " ' Sho, Is his "fata" because she has re solved to marry him. What he wishes is a matter of little moment. He must change his wlphes and she sees to It that he does. A woman falls in love first because she has keener perceptions than man's. Despite all the slanders of all the men of all the ag?s, women know what they want and know It sooner than a man does. When they meet the. man they would like for a husband, the fact Is quickly apparent to them, though not to the men A woman has a livelier imagination than a man. has. If, when a man has twice danced with a girl, It were suggested to him that he picture her his wife, he would laugh at the person who suggested it and call blm an idiot. The girl who, with such seeming indifference, floats about the room In his arms, not only has a mental picture of herself as the mis tress of their home, but has already fur- r J j . . j ; S rtf'- ..

Yet it Is very difficult to trace the symptoms .which develop from '.this. shock back to the original source. . "The ! child who has seen his mother beaten by the father may have received such a shock, which later may show itself In the child's extreme cruelty to animals or amalU-r children, or possibly he will kick and hit the mother herself." "What could be done for such a child?" 1 Inquired. "The original shock oould be discov ered through a process of psycho-analysts, or, If the child's mother Is willing, the' child could be hypnotised. I have done this often, first finding out Just what the child considered the most beau tiful and precious thing In the world or what was his ideal of beauty. This Ideal is connected with the mother while the child Is In a state of hypnosis. After that whenever the child , looks at the mother he at once gets the mental picture which was Impressed upon his mind angel flower and whatever, jt was that he liked and It Is Impossible for him to harm it Of course, the Impres sion wears away in time, but by that time the bad habit has been broken. "Whatever Is. going to be done for the bad boy or the moral delinquent, physical exercise and manual training must play a large part in the work. "Many of .them who will not .concen trate on any kind of work will do so for a reward if the reward Is money. The desire to earn money Is generally strong and can be appealed to. , "As. conditions are at present, how ever, unless a child Is bad .enough to be sent to an Institution of some kind there Is very little chance for his evil tendencies to be corrected. "The school teachers have their hands full, and as it Is thousands of children are only in school on half-time. "If the child is in a graded class, , or ungraded one, his teacher can do no more for him after the school period than to send him home, which usually means out In the streets, where he Is subject to all the evil Influences which fasten on the weak and mentally undeveloped child. ' "The' problem of' the' bad' boy, the moral delinquent' and the feeble-minded child is probably the greatest and most Important one before' the community to day, for the number of such children Is constantly increasing, and their influence Is a menace to every healthy child In the country."
