Thoughtless
Parenthood
is Society's
Crime
By ADA PATTERSON.
New York, city It Is hard to interest,
still harder to excite and almost impos
sible to shock, has been shocked Indeed.
A young couple, the man 28, the wife 36,
abandoned their
four children," who ... -J
had been born lh
five years. One of
the children died
from the exposure. .
The ' parents said
they abandoned
thena because they
had found it im
possible to support '
them. '
There was a
storm of con
damnation, of con
jectures, of theories,
of edvlne. . orap
inf the surface of
the . truth soma
thought tills, others thought that. And,
as usual, when we hasard an opinion
growing but of little knowledge of the
subject most of the guesaers and theor
lsta . ana uiey who condemned were
wrong.-
I spent an hour In the old Tombs prison
sitting beside the strange young mother.
hearing the story as It came from her
heart and limited understanding. And
during those sixty minutes, ticked away
by the prison's clock. 1 gathered these
truths. ;.',,'
That we would all act differently In
given circumstance did we but know. If
We but knew.
"When I found that my husband could
only get work now and then or not at all
and everything looked so black. I went
to a newspaper that was trying to keep
some families together, but they said they
had all thoy could take, care of for
month. And I didn't know where to go,"-
she said. "Then I took the children to
a day nursey, but they would only keep
them for one day. That was because we
weren't of the , same religion. I didn't
know where , to. go. And my husband
didn't know.'
There were many avenuea of helpful
ness In the city had she but known, or
had she but known enough to Inquire, or
had known where to Inquire. A few re
buffs from careless, hurrying passersby,
and' she gave up. She didn't know.
"My oldest boy wanted everything he
saw other boys have. He used to ask
this and that .until I was nearly crazy.
I. sympathised with him, for I had been
the only child at home and I never knew
what It was to ask for anything and be

ard ask and have to refuse hint,'' aha
said.
There again was one qf the causes that
led to, a crime that shocked a crime ac
customed city. The lack of self discipline
and home discipline. The lack of teach'
ing a child that what we enjoy we must
earn. The lack of teaching a child to
earn by work and saving.
"My mother said she never wanted me
to have any thought about money or to
know any trouble. It was time enough
after I was married," she said. I wish
we have all at some moment expressed,
and yet uttered by that young woman
prisoner how terribly false and super
ficial It seemed. Even a child should
learn what responsibility la and gnw
through bearing tts weight as an Italian
woman straightens her spine by bearing
great baskets upon her head.
'."Did you think of trying to get some
work so that you might help your child
ren!" I. asked.
."I had never learned to do any but
housework. I tried to get it. but It was
no use.
. There again a mistake, an error of so
ciety. 'Another case to point the truth
the truth that every girt should bave a
training of livelihood. Had this girt
known something of the Institutions In
the city of her adoption, for she was not
a New York, but a Philadelphia product;
had she been taught to save and earn
money; the pair against whom the cry.
"Unnatural parents! Punish them! Lynch
they!" has been raised would have gone
to their' commonplace way in happy ob
scurlty..
Or had the growing public sentiment

SEVENTH EPISODE.

CHAPTER III.
Gilbert Blye suavely approached June.
and-Mrs. Vlllard went into an adjoining
office to talk with Mr. Plcknam. Fol
lowing Blye came Orin Cunningham,
Tommy Thomas and a' white-haired man
with heavy lidded eyes.
Then June received the greatest shock
of her life Blye offered a . trip on a
private yacht. He had a photo of it with
htm. She gasped In amasement and re
fused it
Then Cunningham drew out a check
book and asked her how much money she
needed. June's checks paled. Bhe burst
Into the office where Mrs. Villard sat
with the Iron Pinknnm. ,
"Did you bring me here tS I be tor

"KM your" Insisted June. IBf so,

"Why. no. child." returned M.V Vll
lard, rising and holding out her hand.
"I only want you to do the things beet
for you to do.'
"I'm going"' June suddenly decided.
The Iron man bowed. There was no
glint in his metsllic rye, no smite on his
unbending lips-.
June, followed by Mrs. Villsrd. sailed
through the msg;iiflent ruiepiion rojun
and into the hall. Blye and his com-1
paniona followed them.
At that moment Ned Warner's taxlcab
drew up in front of the' Bond Securities
building, and close behind it rsms the
electric, of Honoria Blye. that lady driv
ing it herself, bolt upright.'
June darted Into the first elevator, and
her pursuers crowded in after her. Mra.
Vlllard put an arm around June In a cor
ner of the elevator, and there were tears
in . her eyes as she talked ' to the dis
tracted girl. It was that which brought
sympathy to June. It was her greatest
weakness, sympathy, and by the time
they reached the ground floor, she half
consented to -return to Plnknam's with
Mn. Vlllard. She would not talk to the
others, however, and they very . wisely
held their peace.
As they emerged on the main floor,
however, Cunningham turned to her with
twinkling Joviality In his eyes and, lean
ing over, whispered something Into her
ear Just aa she was about to step Into
the adjoining upward bound elevator. At
that Instant Ned Warner strode Into the
rotunda, closely' folleowed by Honoria
Blye. He saw bis beautiful 'bride In the
company of the - black Vandyked ' man,
who was watching her with that suave
smile upon his dark, handsome face,
while a debonair white rnustarhed man
bent over ber familiarly and whispered
in her ear. He saw June Tush; he saw
her step back; then the lady with her
drew her into the elvator. Blye and the
others crowded after her. and 'as Ned
raced vengefully through the corridor,
with the shrieking Honoria 'behind him.
the door closed with a bang, and the car
shot upward. '
Tliey runhed into the . next ear, Ned
Mack browed and allerit. and the-shrill
iionoria jabbering Incessantly. The tar
Imd aiarcrly started to move when a
sudtien Idea came to Kcd, and lie turned
to 'Mra Blye with the first words he had
spoken to her.
"We , might miss them,"', he .snapped.
"They may have seen us and not go to
the office you named. I'll go back down
and wait." '
.As they left the elevator at the elev
enth floor the door of a down car clang
ed. If Ned had got out at the .first stop,
which wss the ninth floor, he would have
caught that down car. But more than
tbat. He would have come face to face
with June and the one person whom of
all the people In this world he, most
longed to meet, Gilbert Blye.
