It was very late—the night before the funeral. "Look at them and see if they're all right.” Her black bengaline with the white ermine, collar and cuffs —a three-piece suit new just before she ran a,way. And the small black hat with a bunch of white aigrettes on the side. "He wants you to wear them tomorrow.” Sandy colored, her astonishment replaced immediately with a chill, mournful bitterness. He brought clothes because she would be pointed out as Ben Murillo's wife. She must look the part. She shook out the coat and laid It down again carefully. Angus Addled with his watch fob. his large eyes moving uneasily. "Well? Well—what shall T tell him?" "Oh. they're quite ail right. He seems to have taken good care of them.” Angus shook his head vaguely, took a determined step toward the door and paused abruptly: "You're to walk down the aisle with him. Os course you realise this.” * • , For an instant her fingers loitered on the silky fur. She raised her head, her breath bursting, turned to her father with white, quivering face. “No, I don't realize it. I'm not going to walk down the aisle w-ith hlni. I'm going with Alice.” "Alice is going with me'. Do you intend to make a scene at a time like this? You know it was your mother's dearest, wish to have you return to your husband . . . her dying hope that you would s®e the light. Your poor mother sacrificed herself for her children. If she could speak now she would ask you to do this. You can give this last, tribute to her memory-” Sandy pressed her fingers against her cheeks, steadied herself against the blood rising in a strifiing tide. "No; I will not walk with him.” Her father's green eyes, now black, lit with anger. He thrust his hands furiously in ills pockets and glared at Sandy. Then lie walked stiffly from the room. She heard him thudding down the long, narrow hall to the room adjoining Alice's; heard his shoes drop heavily— She felt sick with a cold, whimpering chill. * * • Downstairs in the old salon parlors, candles burned above Ihe coffin, shedding a gentle light on Isabel's still face and folded hands. The soft, wavy hair was fluffed prettily agajpst the satin cushion That vague, Reefing smile seemed CJti.ight on her mouth as though she rested happily here, liking the grace fui. violet robe, liking the dignity and peace. Would she ask this—that F ; and> walk down the aisle with Ben Mu rillo? Sandy touched the lace at her mother's neck. Ah. yes—Angus was right. Ts Isabel could speak, she would ask it. And she would ask If. feeling it her right to point out the path: never doubting that the way she saw was the right way. Sandy must follow if. Even from the grave Isabel would now reach out and demand this. Sandy trembled. How complete was her mother's belief in her own Infallibility. And how grimly she had enforced It. This sweet, shah low. retiring personality had yet gone through life with the force of a juggernaut, riding stolidly over Alice, over Madeline, over Sandy. And now she was gone—hut ask Ing that. even dead, their lives conform to her wish Close to her were these children woven of her flesh. To themselves they might, ■eem unique individuals —utterly new and independent beings, chafing at the meshes her love sought so continually to twine about them. But. to her they could never he so separated. She was the mother in whose thought they had existed he.

fore they knew the breath of their own distinctive lives; and In whose thought they would always remain an Intrinsic, organic part of her being. She felt intimately, like, the beating of her own pulse, this bond. It was severed now. She lay quiet and smiling. She, would smile on—ultimately removed from all their petty strife. Sandy-snuffed a waning candle, closing her eyes. "I couldn’t do it. even if she sat up now and begged It." * * • She walked with her uncle, Bob Neil. And in the newspaper was an ac count of the funeral with this line: “Mr. Ben Murillo was not in attendance, as be is confined to his home with an attack of 'flu.’ ” ft was the last but one of Sandy's encounters with her husband —the last but for the one ghastly finish. Her father said no more. Yet she was allowed subtly to feel that they all thought her callous and her grief j feigned. She bad played the traitor ■ she had refused w-hat was In a ! manner her mother’s dying wish. She ignored this altitude, taking refuge in her old brazen, indifference. But she was crushed. The whole house had an empty, desolate air. With Isabel gone, there seemed no reason for keeping the big, roomy Old place—no reason for serving three meals a day, for washing towels and mending socks. Alice became melancholy. She went about w-ith red lids and In a pair of old house slippers much too large. She looked no more destitute than she felt. She would be expected to stay on here taking her mother's place: living out the remainder of her mother's life;' caring for her mother's husnnd as though she, Alice, at !!2, had no flaming thought —no wild wish of her q.wti — One afternoon —a blustery, April day Sandy came quietly up the stairs. She heard her oldest sister. Madeline. talking—talking about her. She stopped and listened. Her three sisters were in the big front room—the mother's room. They were sorting out Isabel's clothes and her few trinkets. They sat at a. table before the old .marble mantel. In the quaint fire placed frome.l with iron molding the logs crackled. Madeline said. "Well, what does she think she's going to do. I won dor? Surely the can’t expect to “tax on here mooching on poor papa. With all the hills he lias to pay now." Alice, curling her lip; "I'm sure she's welcome as far as I'm con corned. Murillo seems to be about the only man she couldn't work - You wouldn't find dad forking ove: SIOO and telling me lo got myself some c|oth r s, would you?" "You don't mean to say she paid SIOO for that coat?" “Eighty for the coat and S2O for The dreys.-The poor kid hasn't got a rag.” "Highly dollars for that coat and not a, scrap of fur on it! Bhe must be Insane.” •Sandy sped in like a flash: "Suppose 1 am insane Muddy? What's it to you? H my father wishes me to linve a coat what's it to you? After six months working on a twelve hour-a-rtay shift here 1 guess Ixe savvied >: po worth of clothe®. Don't ; forget I gave up my job where I earned it v own keep and came down here because my father asked it. And don't forc'd that T vc worked night and day here and saved the price of a I rained nurse!'’ Madeline's eves widened wi h horror. Tears rushed to them. h,ne hegan to sob: "lon want to he paid for taking cave of your mother? Oh. poor Mamma! Oh, if she could hear you say that!” S, ndy stood before them, blanched and shaking. "T don't want to be paid for it. No one could pay me for it. f m not going to be called a inoochei-; You. bringing your kids in here by the dozens for breakfast lunch and dinner—making a regular t-lave of Alice—calling me a moot-her',' Essie put a set of old tortoise shell jewelry in a brown leather box. She said, frightened: "How would mamma feci if slip thought we were I quarreling already? Quarreling over | who took care of her and if they got. paid for it!" They were all cry ing now But a few days later Sandy went through the living room whore her father sat smoking. She wore the new coat. He said to her; “Why didn't you get a coat with fur on it, Sandy?" “Oh, I'd rather have good line and good material than a lot of shoddy fur." "Humph—isn't SBO a big price for a. coat like that?" She knew that Madeline had talked with her father. "Oh, I don’t know." she answered blithely, turning that he might, not see her face. A thought that she had cherished since her quarrel with Madeline, she now spoke. "Isabel had her life insured, didn't she, Angus? I'm to get S3OO as my share." “Yes—when it's settled.” “Could you advance it to me? I want to go back to work." To her astonishment: "Yes—but you don't need to hurry." She could scarcely breathe. Childish tears went flying to her eyes. No place for her here! They would be glad to have her gone. She said laughing: "But T want to —I'm in a great hurry. Spring is the time to get the best jobs."

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ELIMINATE VICE TO STOP CRIME (Continued From Tags 11 classes, crime, vice and traffic Charts were hung on the walls of my office nnd kept up day by day that we might study the progress being made. These charts showed the number of crimes In each classification, nurn her of arrests in various divisions, number of raids and types of places raided, and nature of material seized. T felt, certain that with vice flattened out, the crime line would also he flattened. Under vice I place liquor law violations, having found that crime went up in districts vbere liquor flowed freely and dropped In these wmc districts following a liquor clean up. The records clearly proved that as the police became more active against vice, crime went down. Hold ups. highway robberies, and burglaries were the chief source of annoyance and fear to the people of Philadelphia, and as we reduced them more than 50 per cent In two years. 1 feel justified In the assertion tl at a clean city with honest police will be a city in which to live.

cases in respectable sections are conducted by gunmen, gangsters and thieves. Despite this so-called decent people frequented, and permitted their children to frequent, these cases. Neither are all crooks ill-favored bums. The most dangerous are welldressed, suave men, who frequent fashionable places of amusement. They won't go to such places, however, when they can't drink. They want liquor, women and gambling. The most peaceful period of my two years, from the standpoint of crime, was during the time we had all cabarets and cases closed tight. Crusade Must, Be Sincere To lie effective, a vice crusade must he sincere. Thugs are not fools and their measure of a police force Is its Impartiality In closing dumps. Wo did this, but we did It in the face of tremendous opposition from restaurant and hotel keepers, who insisted that "the fair name of Pliiladelphia was being besmirched" by this vice crusade, and that the tired business men of Philadelphia were going to other cities for their nights and week-ends. One prominent hotel manager, whose hotel had been raided and who was arrested later, following another raid, protested to the mayor, writing that it was impossible to maintain a hotel in Philadelphia along clean and legal lines. i w,:nt to repeat—a city in which police enforce all laws impartially and honestly will be safe, and not otherwise. Philadelphia has 4,200 policemen.

but the progress made there In en forcement win due to the efforts of only about 500 men. The rest might as well have been discharged, except, for the effect on the nerves of the citizens. Able Detectives Needed Other police work 1n addition to i-lce activity Is essential 1n reducing crime. An able detective force Is necessary. The pictures, records and measurements of notorious criminals are all on file. Able detectives know them, and they should be arrested as soon as they set foot In a city. Well-policed streets are also en sentlal. A thief will hesitate to stage a holdup or robbery If he knows the cop on the beat Is honest and Is on the job. Vloo ha? tho same relation to murder as It has to other crime. Most murders are the result of gang feuds, and bootleg and dope warn. They cannot be controlled In the ordinary way. However, if dumps are eliminated and thugs are forced out.of town, the number of murders will decrease. During my first year In Philadelphia murders decreased by 20 per cent, and most of these were private feuds where gangsters killed each other. Many others were of the love type of slaying, which like wise, cannot he entirely eliminated. Experimental Period Tn my second year the murders increased over 1924 by 10 per cent, but the number was still lower than In the year prior to my administra-
