Houses of the Good Shepherd prisons as they are operated to-day in the United States, for the benefit of Rome, may imagine that some of the scenes in this story especially descriptive of the treatment of the inmates of the Houses of the Good Shepherd are exaggerated. Those, however, who have personally investigated conditions, and especially those who have investigated the numerous cases where girls have escaped, or attempted escape, during the past five years will agree that the description given by Mr. Phelps is an understatement rather than an overstatement of the facts.
