All s ocoui Movement Does Not Keep Boys From Sunday School The Boy Scout movoflnent keeps no boy out of Sunday school be cause of Sunday hikes, according to R. C. Hoyt. Boy Scout leader, in answer to this criticism made Fri day at a meeting of Sunday school workers at Westminster Presby terian church. "No boy who regularly attends Sunday school is encouraged to join our hikes and no boy can go with out his parents' consent. In all Scout encampments, the Interna tional Sunday school lesson is given for Protestant children, for which they receive credits in their home Sunday school. Appropriate ser vices for Catholic and Jewish chil dren are also provided.1' ''We teach reverence to God. More than that we cannot do in a religious way on account of the wide scope of our following. The complaint that we keep boys out of Sunday school is not a general oi. since 73 per cent of Omaha's popu lation is non-church. "If Rev. De Larme, or any other minister, believes the Boy Scout movement has not the proper lead ership, he should help provide cap able leaders. The Presbyterian church lias endorsed the Boy Scout movement within the church. Every church of every denomination in Omaha has been asked to volunteer its best red-blooded men for the Scout leader' school." Boy, Sought by Police of Many Cities, Was on ere as Detective JobHc VIRTUOUS WIVES" Owen Johnson! Sparkling So ciety Novel, whicb if making tucb bit in the movie. "(Copyruiht. 1918, fcv Little. Brawn Co.) ' While the police departments of several cities' were conducting a search for Byron Hyland, 16-year-old Des Moines high school student, he was in Omaha working with the state liquor agents. Saturday morning his father came to Omaha and found him. Hyland was to be called as a witness in a penCing liquor case and had been loitering about the police station. Thursday in full view of a number of Omaha police officers he testified in police court against S. Spens Sixth and Pierce streets, on a liquor charge. The state liquor squad had -been using young Hyland as '"stool-pig-eon" and with his aid procured evi dence against Omaha bootleggers. The lad was given marked money with which to purchase liquor. Hy land's father will take him back to Des Moines.

Gillard, who has !ed suit for separate maintenence in di vorce court against George Gillard, -ays it is impossible to live with iim. She declares that he has knocked icr down and that the defendant's nether has treated her in an insult ng manner and poisoned the defend irt's mind against her. She says he mak about $5,000 i year in the farming and cattle busi ness but that he refuses to support her elsewhere than In his home. She asks the court to allow her $150 a month permanent alimony CHAPTER XLVIII. Recognition was so swift that she had no time to protect herself. She put her; head down hastily the one betraying movement she should not have made and fled up the plat form. Mrs. Bracken' stood puzzled, looking after her. The next moment she saw Monte. "Why, what are you doing here?" she asked, shaking hands. "Going up to New, York," he said hastily. "But wasn't that Mrs. Forrester?" she said, glancing lip the platform at the little figure seeking the obscurity. "That? No, indeed," he said read ily. "Are you alone, Monte?" she asked abruptly. "Absolutely. Let me take your things." "John will attend to them," she said, surrendering her bag to ' the footman who came up. They stood a moment, awkwardly. "Are you going to New York?" she repeated slowly. "Why, yes. Is there anything sur prising in that?" he said with a forced laugh. The light was on his face and her glance hung on hi& eyes. He did not dare to turn away. She hesitated, took a step, and he breathed freer. AH at once she turned and took his arm. "I want to talk to you," she said quietly. "Walk up the platform with me. He stood without moving. "I had rather not." "Why?" "I cannot tell you." "What I have to say is to be said to Mrs. Forrester also," she said with decision. ""Come." , Amy was at the foot of a great telegraph pole as they came up. She did not turn at the sound of their steps but put her head down and swayed against the fence. So abject a picture of mortification and shame was she that Mrs. Bracken in pity hesitated a minute. Then she went to her and threw her arm around her shoulder. , , "It is I, Amy." "Oh, go away, please go away!" she said desperately. "I think God has directed me to you," said Mrs. Bracken solemnly. Amy Forrester raised her i head and turned slowly, indignantly. "Why, what do you mean?'" she asked, starting back. "It is quite evident what you are doing." "You are making a mistake," she cried, cut to the quick. "I have left my husband's house with his know ledge and consent." "Then you should do it alone, and not in this mad public way." "Mrs. Bracken, you have no right to judge me " "The way you resented what you thought I might have thought ought to open your eyes," she answered, without yielding. "And if you care nothing for your own reputation she hesitated. "This means, of course that you are going to marry Monte?" They stood faintly in the obscur ity, straining their eyes like three white shadows. "That is, of course, what ft means," she said. "Then, Amy dear, if you are tak ing his name, you should protect it as though it were your own;" "Olvdon't don't try to stop me now!" The cry was wrung from her All the long days of deliberation and soul-anguish were useless now if the thing had to be again delayed, if she must pass through another day of doubt Claire took her hand in hers, bend ing toward her like a mother to seek the truth in the face of a way ward child. "You child, do you know what you are doing are you capable of knowing? You want to be free but do you want to face all the ugly stories that will spring up now?" "Oh, you don't understand! I must do one thing or the other and do it now! I can't fight it all oveT again. I want to be honest with my self and with himl" she cried bit terly. "With Monte? Then don't you see that you are sacrificing him?" said liaire ninny, as xiiuulc uvgan iy protest." Amy had not meant that. It struck her as tragically grotesque that Monte should have taken it to him self. She had been thinking of her husband, the shadow that was at her side, blending with her shadow. "I say, Claire, you've no right to say that!" "You know I'm'Helling the truth, whether you'll admit to her or not," she swept on. "You are-a gentleman, born and bred, whatever you may have done, and you don't wish your name and the name of your wife dragged into every filthy sheet!" "Mrs. Bracken! Mrs. Bracken!" "Well, do you?" said Claire, fac ing Monte. Down the track came the warning whistle of the arriving train. The papers the scandal written large the ugly innuendoes she had never thought of that.never once had it occurred to her that beyond to night was tomorrow, with its dis tortion of big things and small. "But I can't go-back!" she said in a last weak protest. "If I don't go now I'll never go!" she said, look ing at the man. "You needn't return to your hus band. Leave that to me," said Claire decisively. "Tonight you stay at my house. Tomorrow we'll see. Monte, you must go up to New York and take care to be seen." The train was now in sight. With a sudden obstinate squaring of . his shoulders he turned to Amy. "Amy, this is between you and me. What do you say?" They waited for her decision, there in the faint obscurity of the platform in the precious dwindling seconds. "Oh, it's easy for you to do the right thing," she cried, with a" sudden revolt against the calm of the other woman. "Life has been easy for you you don't know what it is to feel the way I do " Monte Bracken must have felt what was coming, for he stepped forward, as if to interpose between the two women. Claire Bracken stood quietly looking down, then she raised her head and said gravely: "It's natural you should say that. Bat you are wrong. I had to face once the same situation almost that you are facing now, and I gave up what I wanted for the sake of others. I will tell you all that, for it may help yon. I can defno other wise, for I have the right the one person in the world who has the right to demand that that name shall not be sullied now."She wait ed a moment and then said: "You will go alone to New York, Monte. It is the first thing I have asked of you." He stood, his glance held by her glance, 'and the clear look on her face. A moment of judgment, of reconstruction, and the clear, en during memory won. It was all over in a moment. He turned without a word, and went up toward the sta tion. The two women stood togeth er watching until he had swung up' the steps and into the train. They were still watching as the cars went past. He was not even on the plat form. Then Mrs. Bracken felt an arm slip about her and the next mo ment Amy Forrester was on her shoulder weeping out her heart. She made no resistance when a little later Claire drew her down the platform and led her to the waiting car, but over on the high road she sat up with a sudden fright. "You are not taking me back?" "No, no. Not tonight and not to morrow not until you are ready to go." "But it's over all over!" "Then all the more reason to do nothing on impulse. Whatever is to be done must be done with dignity, with regard for all concerned." "I will do as you say," she said wearily. "I thought oh, I wanted to do the right thing, the brave thing!" Just before they came to the Bracken house, Claire laid her hand on her friend's. "One thing yon may have mis understood something I said. After I was engaged to Allan I met Monte, and well it was a question. If I had broken that engagement Allan could not have stood up alone. We knew it both of us. That was the decision to make." "Hush! I fee! like a criminal 1" she said. Hrawinc hark through flier tortured imagination she re membered only the look on Monte's face when he had answered Claire's request immediately, reverently, without thought of anyone else. What was she to replace such an ideal in Monte Bracken's memoryl The next day the world was torn asunder with the catastrophe of a colossal war. The first pages were filled wth headlines that cried out the tramp of mustering armies; Aus tria attacking, Germany declaring war, France hastily mobilizing, England deliberating, Russia mov ing ponderously. And on the fourth page, crowded out by a tempest in the air, a bare half column of what a week before would have been .fea tured on the front pnge: "DRAMA IN SOCIETY ACCIDENT OR MURDER At Chilton late last night the bodies of Mr, and Mrs. Rudolph Dellabarre were recovered from the bay." j (To Be Continued Tomorrow.) 1 - Child Falls Backward into Tub of Boiling Water Falling backward into a tub of boiling water, Bruno Eennie, 3 years old, son of Mrs. Marie Bennie, 2218 Pacific street, was severely scalded Saturday morning. The po lice emergency corps was summoned and gave the child first aid. The boiling water had just been removed from a stove and placed on the floor when the child, playing with a sister, tumbled in it. m mm CELEBRATIONS FOR J0LD1ERS Park Commissioner Falconer Announces Entertainments for Returned Men in Vari " ous Community Centers. "Welcome Home" celebrations for returned soldiers and sailors will be held in all community centers before the season closes, Park Commis sioner Falconer has announced. These celebrations will be the first organized attempt by the peo ple of Omaha to show their boys how glad everybody is to see them return. Each community center will have charge of its own celebration. Speeches by prominent citizens of the community, responses by the soildiers and sailors, playing of games and serving of refreshments will constitute the programs in most of the centers. "The occasion will be a regular neighborhood jollification," said Mr. Falconer. "The women of the community centers are going to prepare the refreshments with their own hands and the men will have charge of the programs. There will be very little formality about the celebrations, the intention being to show the boys a rollicking good time. "We will probably set aside the first week in April as "Welcome Home" week, as most of the centers are planning their programs for that week."
