Great Story To-day

Philip Anson Is a boy of 15. ot fine
education and good breeding', but an
orphan and miserably poor.
The story opens with tho death of his
mother.
Rich relatives have deserted tho family
In their hour of, need, and ,whcn his
mother's death comes Philip Is In despair,
Ho looks over his mother's letters and
finds that ho Is related to- Sir Philip Mor
land. A few days later a terrific thunder
storm brews ovor London. At the height
of tho storm a flash ot lightning scares
n team Attached to a coach standing in
front of & West End mansion. Philip,
who has becomo a nowsboy, rescues a
girl from the carriage Just before, It
turns over. -A man with the girl trips
over Philip in his excitement. lie cuffs
the, boy and calls a policeman. Tho girl
pleads ior Philip and ho is allowed to
go after learning that tho man was Lord
Vanstonc. Philip then determines to
.Ommlt suicide. Ho borrows a piece ot
rope from O'Brien, a ship chandler, and
goes to his miserable dwelling; in John
son's Mews.
Just as ho Is about to hang himself a
meteor flashes by tho window and
crashes Into tho flagstones in tho yard,
The boy takes this as a sign from heaven
i.Qt to kill himself. Ho then goes to tho
yard to look at the meteor, rhlllp picks
up several curious looking bits of tho
meteor and shows them to O'Brien. Tho
latter advises 'him to take them to a
jeweler's. He visits Mr. Wilson, who
tells him that tho pieces aro metcorlo dla
worlds worth an immense fortune. Wil
ton sends him to a diamond dealer named
iBaacsteln. Ho goes into a restaurant
and asks tho proprietor to trust him for,
a meal. Tho man refuses, but Mr. Judd,
a grocer, offers to pay tho bill. Philip
cats his fill und promises to reward the
grocer later. Ho tells Isaacsteln Mr.
Wlson" font him. At tho pollco station
hu gives his name as Philip Morlond.
Isaacsteln admits tho diamonds could
not have been stolen as no such collection
of stones ever existed.

"I cannot answer riddles," said Isaac
steln, shortly. "I can only atato tha
tacts. If any other man in tho city ot
London Is a higher authority on dia
monds than I, go to him and ask his
opinion."
"Mr. Isaacsteln is right," interposed
Philip. ''No one else owns diamonds llko
mine. No ono elso can obtain them. 1
have robbed no man. Give me my
diamonds and let mo go."
The Inspector laughed officially. He
gazed Intently at Philip, and then
sought illumination from the Jew's per
turbed countenance but Isaacsteln was
moodily examining the contents of tho
paper and turning over both the stones
and the scraps of iron with an air ot
profound mystification.
"I'll tell, you what," sold the inspector,
jubilantly, after a slight pause. "Wo will
charge him with being In unlawful pos
session of certain diamonds, supposed to
have been stolen. Ho has given me a
false name and a silly address. Park
Lane, the young Imp said ho lived in."
"A man in your position ought to be
more accurate," Interposed Philip. "I
did not say I lived In Park Lano. I told
you I Intended to buy a house there."
Seldom, Indeed, wero the minor deities
of tho polled station bearded In this
fashion, and by a callow youth. But the
Inspector was making tho copperplate
hair strokes which had gained his pro
motion, n.nd his brain had gono back to
Its, normal dullness.
"I will Just see if we cannot bring him
before a magistrate at once,' he said,

an hour, sir? Then we will get a week's

"A week's remand." Philip becama
white again, and those large eyes of his
began to burn. "What have I done"

"Will you be kind enough to tell me
how a young girl Is to get acquainted In
tho city? I go to business every day and
nlways try to conduct myself as a lady
should. I dress
neatly, but not flash
ily. I seo the girls
around me who aro
not always choice In
their language hav
ing beaux galore,
while I sit at home.
Why Is It? At ono
Episcopal church I
even asked if there
,was a society for
young people, and
was told It was only
for tho poorer
'classes and street
girls, to lead them
to better things.
Where is a decent,
respectable business
girl to get acquainted. INQUinEIt."
This question ought to make all our
excellent Christian people and our
philanthropists pause and ponder.
The land Is filled with working girls
and women who are trying to live rc
spectablo lives ond who arc craving
human companionship.
In our largo cities there are Innumer
able opportunities for both men and
women who are not anxious to walk the
path of discretion to find amusement.
Dance halls and cabarets and cheap
shows aro holding out Inducements con
tinually for new recruits to their al
ready crowded ranks.
Tho Salvation. Army and the people In
terested In rescue work are doing all In
their power to entertain and amuse and
Instruct the reformed men and women
who' have been reclaimed from evil ways.
But there seems to be a dearth of
benevolent and kindly hearted citizens
who aro making any efforts to give
wholesome pleasures and social recrea
tions to the large class of worthy men
anil women represented by the writer of
the letter quoted above.
There should be a committee, in every
church In America, composed of good
women, for the purpose of looking after
the needs of respectable and self-respecting
working girls and young men.

would awaken -amidst tho familiar sur
roundings Ot Johnson's .Mews. To con
vince himself thai this was not so, he
reviewed tho history of the preceding
twenty-four hours. At that time yester
day he was going to Fleet street with a
capital of nineponco to buy a quire, of
newspapers. He remembered where, he
had sold each of the five copies, whore
ho bought a penny bun, and how he canw
to lose his stock and get cuffed Into tho
bargain for rescuing a girl from an over
turning carriage.
Then his mind rovcrted to his fixed re
solve to hang himself, and his stolid
preparations for tho last act In his young
life's tragedy. Was that where the dream
started, or was the whole thing a definite
reality, needing only a stout heart and
unfaltering puprpose to carry him
through triumphantly? Yes. That was It
"Bo strong and brave and all will be well
with you." Surely his mother had looked
llclty man, or woman, to exploit its
purposes and its methods.
In every shop or factory or other place
of employment where there are many
toilets a notice should be posted, giving
tho place and hour where such commit
tees In every church can bo addressed or
found.
Then, no matter what the religious de
nomination of a working man or woman,
a door will bn open t? social life If tho
applicant proves to be honest and re
spectable. It should be tho work of these com
mittees to investigate to a reasonable
extent the statements of the applicant
for social privileges.
Naturally in these days of corrupt
political white slave organizations too
great care cannot be exercised before
strange men or women are Introduced
Into tho society of their follows.
This very necessity to bo worthy of
passing before the searchlight of an In
vestigating committee would make such
a social organization desirable.
All this would necessitate the expendi
ture of time, money and effort.
But why not be willing to expend all
these things In preventing evil and In
giving pleasure to the worthy and thii
rlean-mlnded and the Industrious, In
stead of bestowing all our labors upon
reclaiming tho fallen?
Why not be as willing to work for the
pleasure and happiness and encourage
ment of our own carncif-mlnded young
women who are obliged to toll for a
livelihood as to devote so muoh effort to
raise money for the conversion of heath
ens tn foreign lands?
It Is less Incumbent upon us to convince
the South Sea Islander that his nudity Is
Indecent and to provide him with cloth
ing than It Is to provide our good young
women with right companionship.
We need a more practical religion in
our own country more than other coun
tries need our religion.
The religion of kindness and sympathy
and fellowship, the religion which makis

best Interests, social, financial and
spiritual, of every human being In our
