It’s rather a shock to some that thio condition came to pass in the country. It’s hardly m keening with the words of moralists, who have for years dwelled on the iniquities of the city as against tlu snow-white purity of the rural districts. But to my mind I think our city girls ar- far more safe from a fate like that which the Amboy Belle met than her .-later of the country. In the first place, ■s carefully ns wo enn guard dur girls of the city, hey know more of the dan gers tl.at lurk fora maiden with pretty F" ' anil attractive form than the ru ral lass. >She is less likely to pay se r ou- attentions to the blandishments of men.

A city girl can L love Just rs well, but. is likely to love more wisely than the sweetheart of the I meadows. How this little Amboy Belle's being must have been devoted to Cleghorn! i She was not without suitors. There ' are always plenty of them In the coun ’ tty for a pretty miss. There are rare ly enough pretty girls to go around in rural communities But still she put i them all out of her life lor this man, listened to his promise of marriage. beliey< d In him still even though he had once disappointed her when she sup , posed the ceremony would take place. She continued to believe In him un i -til death beckoned. But there is still a sweetness in the story. and as long as heart beats in 1 response to heart, there will be tears shed for the mother, taking in her arms the dying girl, whispering to her those words of comfort, forgiveness and love that probably lighted her way into a better world Who knows? Dr Funke Works Late on Tests — Dr. John Funke, the expert chemist to whom the girl's stomach was sent for examination, continued his analysis until 1 o'clock this morning and re newed his Investigation early today. He said he was making progress, but ' declined to give any statement relative to what he had found in the stomach. An examination for poison requires several days of experiments, and it Is not likely anything positive can be shown until Monday at the earliest.

Now is the time to ascertain whether the man on whom they • bestowing their wealth of love i worthy of so great a fortune. "They should inquire into their owi: consciences and listen to its dictates They should be sure they age dealing with men—real men. “The saddest feature to me of this whole tragedy is the fact that this sweet girl was taken advantage of It: such an awful way. It is a heart breaking blow to her parents in partic ular and to her friends. She was a gir much admired, and was a girl who wa; always loyal to her friends. “We can but hope that this violent ending of this young life may serve tc hold the footsteps of some other tendei maiden in the right path.” WIFE SEEKS A DIVORCE FROM TACITURN SPOUSE ST.
