THE SABLE
WINGS OF
CHARITY
By FRANK H. CRAWFORD
( jr Hliort aUury fub. Co.)
A CARBINE abat split tha nltiit

Ha lay for a moment In a grotesqua
huddla wtiera ba hod fallen, near tha
curb, In tbVfuky aliadow of Uia gran

Tba heel of Ml rlflit ahoe bad been
torn off by tha carbine aliot.
Tha man heard quirk footsteps be

forma that approached him. "All I
need," ha admitted pleasantly, "la pa
per, matches and a ba of tobacco. I
can make 'em myself." lie atepped
coolly In between tha two. took an arm
of each In bla and walked out with
them Into tha Halloween moonlight.
Tha man who was dreaaed In the
garb of a green devil thrust the end of
Ida tall In hla pocket and grinned ap
preciatively at tha bareheaded man
In tha convict's gsrb.
"All ba needs." he repeated, "la pa
lter, matches and a bng of tobacco."
"That's It," agreed tha one who car
ried a broad bUUcd ai on hla annul-di-r
and WS dresaed In tha wrinkled
black boaa and red mask of a head
man. "It can make 'am Itself. 'It says
It. What the davtl do you know about

headed man beside him.
"Kay, yon want the limit, didn't you J
Even got ymr head ehevedl Yon aura
look tha part all right If It wasn't
Halloween you'd be pinched on sight."
"Yes," Mulled the uiuii In etrlpes,
with an Inflection of modesty In hla
tone, "I don't think the getup'a half
bad, myself. Which one of you has
the tubaccor
The devil reached Inside bis jerkin.
"You don't look Ilka a man that
would match up right with a clgurette.
If you want man'a aUe. long, black
stngle made right here In rittaburgh
out of Imported Connecticut filler, with
fine old 1'enosylvanla wrapper, why,
smoke op."
"Goodl" breaUied the man In atrlpca,
as ha exhaled a puff of tha heavy,
fragrant amoke. "Good! Let's be
moving. What do you snyT"
Ann ln arm they went down the
middle of tha brilliantly lighted, white
clllTed canyon.
At each crossing tha bareheaded
man glanced to right and left. Tha
streets wera blocked with parked ears
tilled with gsy onlookers, and traffic
police at each corner held In check all
vehicular movement east or west.
Tha man held close ro hla rompan
looa arma and drew them on alowly
down tha avenue through tha rout
Homewhere, a bell had begun to toll.
At tba southern end of tha avenue,
where tba crowd had become leas
ilcaae, tha man In stripes halted ab
ruptly. In tha blare of curb lights his
'earthing eyes had caught eight of a
line of blue-coated figures.
Closer to hint he drew hla chance
acquaintance, whose own groteaque
neaa eerved to heighten the Illusion of
I'lrarre mummery created by hla penal
stripes, and ha turned them back op
tha avenue again.
Dropping heavily down upon tha
rlty, out of tba night, still came the
tocelnllke reverberations of tha bell.
Hut three blocks north the man,
peering ahead through tha crowd, saw
a second line of blue that reached trom
wall to wall that advanced atrp by
step to meet that other Una that had
already thrust him back with Ita tin
palpable pressure.
"Say," Inquired tha devil, "are you
seeing things?"
A beadleaa form In flowing white
edged through the mob.
"Yea I A ghost!" gasped the man,
but ba laughed aloud aa ha swung
about
Tbey moved southward one mora
along tha close-parked avenue. Half
w ay down tha square a hideously grin'
nlng baboon elbowed thera apart
Tba man In stripe was alone among
the Jostling thousands;
He edged over to tha aldcwalk. I?e-
fora him waa tha veatlhuled entrance
to one of tha few old fnatilnned ofllce
buildings still left In tha section. Ha
stepped back through the vestibule,
gmaped tha handle of the Inner door
and turned It The door was locked.
With cool fury ha gripped tha handle
with both hsnda and twisted steadily.
It wss quietly done, but tha screw of
the handle shank was sheared off by
the strain and the knob came loose
In his hsnds, though the lock atlll held.
The man dropped the knob silently In
hla pocket Ha flexed hla, lean fingers
appreciatively and turned to regard
mora closely whoever else might atlll
chance to share hla shelter.
Ha found himself face to face with
two black-robed, black-hooded slaters
of charity.
"Wa are not In costume," the taller
of the two answered the Inquiry In his
eyes. "Wa are what wa seem. Wa
wera caught In this In crossing tha
city, and took shelter here till tha
crowd should thin."
The riian .bowed. He stepped to tha
doorway and glanced, up and down" tha
avenue.
In momentary spirit of aloofness
ha noticed, In vivid detail, tha lighting
schema of a show window tha glided
sign over a shop, tha checkered facade
of a towering whtta building where,
bora and there, on thirty doors, was
going forward the nightly routlna of
office cleaning,
He turned back toward tha rear of
tha vestibule.
'Good ladles, 1 think It might ba
wall for you to go now I"
Tha taller slater stepped to tha en
trance. ' '
'I think not yet." fihe shook her
bead. "Tba crowd la atlll too great."
Ha saw that aba bad tba wide-eyed
loveliness of Lu Maurter'g Trilby. And
ha law In ber bearing tha unmistakable
evidence of good birth and gentle
breeding.
"Hut still, you must go now" be
Insisted gently, "for here are three of
us not to costume, tlster. I, loo, am
what 1 seem."
"You I"
Suddenly ha felt a childlike and ra-
slstleas longing for woman's under
standing, for a woman's compaaalonate
and divine forgiveness.
Through tha din of tha city's bar
baric play, still came dropping heavily
out. of the night, the bell's alarm.
"In three minute they will be here
I will be aeen, and then then I ahull
say goodnight to all the world," he
told tha pule girl beside Mm swiftly
"for I will not go back. And I fd

Ha atepped toward the outer door

Tba girl with tha wide, gray eyes,

thrown her left arm about tha man's

fell Ilka a drooping sable wing behind

caught up tba other woman's arm In
a tense graap ao that the man's stripes
wera hidden by their aomher garments.
"How your bead I Cornel" alia whis
pered. lie bent bla bead to tha girl's height
and tba three stepped down- to the
pavement and out to where, for an In
stant a space waa clear, and then the
girl with tha wistful lips drew the oth
ers Into a simple step and they danced
their way through a little lane that
opened up for them, till they neared
one Una of blue, and tha girl snatched
a feathered wand from a careless hand
and auuclly bruahed with It the face
of atocky sergeant of police, and
glanced archly back over ber shoulder
and laughed at blm ; and ao tha three
danced out from that tone of death
and then. In alienee, moved on and
away to where tha street a were empty
and quiet and dark. Then tha girl
drew gently away from tha man whoaa
bead waa bare.
They stood silently for a moment In
tha purple shadow of belfry tower,
beside a gray-stone, century-old
churchyard wall,
"To try to put In words what Is In
my heart," tha man spoke alowly.
"would ba to useless! Hut"
Ha knelt and lifted the bam of tha
girl's black robe to hla Hps,
Then ba Stood before her, with hjs
hands clasped behind blm.
From where they had stopped they
could sea tba green and red lights of
a towboat bound for tba gulf, gleam
ing across tha silent river's Ink-black
surface; the blast of the steamboat's
deep-toned whistle quivering on tha
cool night air.
"I bava not the right to ask," the
man spoke reverently, "but might I
have a nama to link with the memory
of this night's charity to carry wltb

Tha girl, with eyes downcaat, firtw
her companion's arm In hers. She
moved silently away a step or two,
then paused and turned and looked up
steadily Into tha man's eyes. 1
"If, for what I have done this nlgbt,
I should chance to be remembered
through all those years of peace and
happy freedom, I pray that you may
have, then let It be as Bister Bene

"Hut, while you were of the world,

little laughing child, may I not have
that name, also, to bear In memory?"
"Ah! You ask me thatr
Tha girl called Slater Itenedlcta
clasped her rosary with a quick ges

closed.
When at last she spoke again, It was
In a voles of level tones and titter

CONTROL OF ROUP
BY SANITARY RULES
Contagious roup Is probably caused
by unsanitary conditions of the hen
house and yards. It la sggravated by
cold, dump weather. Correction of
the causes, so far ss possible, Is most
sdvlsuhle, as remedies are slow work
ing and not aura In effect
It cauaea a loss, not only from
heavy death rata, but also from tha
Interference with" egg production and
weakened vitality In breeding. It Is
very contagious, especially In damp,
cold weather, and attacks both young
and old stock.
Contagious roup Is probably easier
l" Identify than any other poultry dis
ease. It usually starts like a simple
cold, with a thin, watery discharge
from the nose and eyes, Thla secre
tion baa a peculiar, offensive odor.
Inflammation seta Into the nasal pas
sages, eyes and spaces Just below tha
eyeballs. The l,!r! tlrn nfen ronrh
snd sneeze, breathing becomes ouUy,
snd If tha air psaugrs of the nose
become entirely blocked, they brepthe
through their mouths, Tba birds soon
lose tbelr appetite and become de
pressed, their wings drooping and
their feathers ruffled. The secretions
from the nose and eye change from
fluid to yellowish, cheese-like masa.
This grows rspldly about the eyelids
and the nostrils. One or both eye
become enlarged and swelling may ap
pear oa the head.
' The exact cause Is not known.
Whatever K Is, the organism la bard
te kill, because It penetrates Into the
tissues. If the formations about the
head are removed, the uneven bleeding
surface which Is left forms a new
mass In 24 to 48 hours.
Infected birds ecarry the disease
from place to plan and Infect others
by contact Food and water may be
come contaminated by the secretions
from sick birds snd healthy birds be
come Infected In ibis way.
Roup Is easily controlled by proper
management and housing. Damp, un
sanitary, poorly ventilated, over
crowded, drafty quarters are con
ducive to Ita spread. The first treat
ment la to remove the cauae at once.
Only valuable birds should have Indi
vidual treatment A simple cure for
the sick bird la as follows: Dace It
In a dry, well-ventilated place away
from the other birds, snd give It plen
ty of fresh water and feed. Every
morning and evening remove all the
matter from the eyes and nostrils of
tbs bird snd dip Its bead Into a solu
tion of bichloride of mercury (1-1000).
Thla la made by placing one 7.3 mer
cury bichloride tablet In a pint of
water. Hold the bird firmly and Im
merse the head until the eyes are cov
ered, keeping It there a few seconds
or until It struggles. In most cases,
the following procedure Is advisable:
- Dltpoee of bad cases by killing and
burning them.
Isolate birds having colds.
Be sure quarters are dry and tight
on ale aides, with adequate opening In
tha front for ventilation nd light to
reach every part of the house.
Allow at least three square feet fioor
space per bird.
Place a little kerosene on the top
of the drinking water or one, TJ-graln
mercury bichloride tablet In a gallon of
water In a nonmetal container. These
should never he used more than ten
days In succession.
Place one pound epsom salts per
100 birds In the drinking wateror a
wet mash.
Judgment in Feeding
Good Judgment must be exercised In
feeding the pullets after they are ma
ture and are In their winter houses.
Usually eight quarts of hard grain Is
fed to one hundred birds a day. One
third or one-fourth of thla amount
should be fed In the morning and the
balance at nlgbt When about half
the btrda are laying well they may re
quire aa much aa ten or twelve quarts
per day. Sometimes, however, eight
quarts la too much and It la necessary
to cut dovrn on this amount Mash
should always be kept before them In
hoppers or feeders.
