WHAT KEPT THE NEW CHIMNEY WAIT
ING.

Nv
A new chimney was going to be
built on grandpa's house, and the
boys were in a state of high glee.
They were always delighted when
there was something going on, and
this would be something like, p"
Wayne said.
"Mike's coming to mix the nor

ladder to the mason. He'll tell us

I say, Wayne, let's go get his bod
and play we're bod carriers, with
mud for mortar, you know
come on !"
Come on !" shouted Wayne 'it's
leaning up against the barn. Mike
left it there last Friday when he
brought his things over"
On the way to the barn they saw
grandpa Harvesting old Molly to the
big blue cart. That meant a beauti-
full, jolly ride down to the orchard,
and the boys forgot all about playing
hod carrier. They climbed in and
jolted away.
mikes coming tomorrow, you
know, grandpa, and the mason, "
said Casper, his voice culver CULVER
ing over the jolts. "Oh, goody -
cried Wayne. But dear old grandpa
shook his white head.
mot tomorrow, boys you'll have
to wait a bitlonger. 1 sent word to
Mr.. Keet and Mike last night that
they needn't come for a few weeks
longer; I'd decided to put the Chin
ney off"
"Oh, grandpa -
Both clear little voices were shrill
with disappointment. Both little
brown faces fell. Grandpa did not
speak again at Once-he was guiding
old Molly carefully out at the side of
the cart road. The boys saw a little
crippled butterfly futtering alOngin
the wheel track-that was why
grandpa turned out. Grandpa's big
heart had room enough in it for
every little live thing. Back in the
track again, further on, grandpa
spoke.
iii show you why we must wait
for the new chimney, when we get
home, boys, "he said, cheerily. "You
will agree with me, I know. It's a
case of necessity"
But 1 don't see what made you
decide to, grandpa" Wayne said,
soberly. Grandpa's eyes twinkled
under their shaggy brows.
"A little bird told me to-, he said,
and that was all they found out I'M
til they got home. Then the same
little bird told them. Grandpa took
them up into the attic, with a great
air of mystery. The old chimney
had been partly taken away-half
way down to the attic floor. Grandpa
tiptoed up to it and lifted them, one
at a time, to peep into it
"Sh!' he whispered softly; "look
sharp"
And there, on a little nest Of mud,
lined with thistledown and straw,
that rested lightly on the projecting
bricks, sat the little bird! She
blinked her bright eyes at the kind
faces peering down as if to say:
"Oh, dear, no; I'm not afraid of
you! Isn't this a beautiful nest? so
exclusive and safe! There I four
little specify, freckly eggs under
me. When I've Matched them and
brought up my babies in the way
we'll educated little chimney-swal-
lows should go, then you can build
your chimney, you know"
So that was why grandpa's new
chimney had to wait.-Annie Fl.

THE SEARCH FOR A GIRL
is BEING MADE BY PROBATE COM
MISSIONER WALKER.
1t Ia Thought Her Mother, Mrs. Anna
Fitzgerald, Has Her Concealed
Other Court Cases.

Probate Commissioner Walker is trying
to obtain possession of Mary Fitzgerald
long enough to appoint a guardian for her.
The girl is supposed to live with her
mother, Mrs. Anna Fitzgerald, on Meek
street. The court officials say that Mrs.
Fitzgerald is keeping the girl concealed
and the sheriff has been instructed to serve
notice on the woman that she must appear
in court and tell what has become Of her
daughter.
There is charge of perjury pending
against Mrs. Fitzgerald at the present
time, and it is only on account of the leni-
ency Of Judge Afford, of the Criminal
Court, that she has not been prosecuted.
Mrs. Fitzgerald was indicted with man
named Dennis Beach, who is now serving
a term in prison. He was charged with
subornation of perjury and the charge
against Mrs. Fitzgerald is perjury. In
formation was furnished the grand jury
against them by officers of the Celtic
Building and Loan Association.
AS the story goes Mrs. Fitzgerald has
some property and she and Beach arranged
to borrow some money on it and give a
mortgage. They did so and procured a
loan from the Celtic Building and Loan
Association. In order to get this loan Mrs.
Fitzgerald made an affidavit that her
daughter Mary was dead, the girl having
an interest in the property. When it was
learned that the girl was not dead prosecu-
ton was commenced against Beach and
Mrs. Fitzgerald The building and loan as
ISOLATION foreclosed its mortgage and the
property is now owned jointly by the as
ISOLATION and Mary Fitzgerald. AS the girl
IL not yet of age 1t is desirable that guar
dian be appointed to take charge of her
share of the property. To appoint this
guardian the probate commissioner must
have the girl in court but thus far he has
been unable to get sight of her. A sheriff s
deputy has called at the Fitzgerald home
several time, but has failed to find the
girl
Judge Afford, after Beach was sent to
prison, learned that Mrs. Fitzgerald had
an infant child to care for and 1t was not
deemed wise to try the woman and perhaps
convict her until some provision could be
made for this child.

DIR. STEWARDS ALLEGATION.
He Says His Wife Drank and Smoked
Cfgars-A Divorce Suit.


Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, Is try
ing a divorce case in which some unusual
charges are made on both sides. The
plaintiff is Ida Nj. Stewart. a prepossessing
woman of about thirty-five. The defendant
is DR.. Louis C. Stewart. practicing ply
stefan and president of the Old Wayne Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company. He is about
forty-two. The suit was brought several
weeks ago, and when the complaint was
filed Mrs. Stewards attorney asked that his
client be granted allowance of SIS a
month while the suit was pending. This
was resisted strongly by Stewart, but Judge
Allen found for the plaintiff in the matter
of allowance, and an appeal was taken to
the Appellate Court
Mrs. Stewart says her husband was gen.
orally cruel to her, and she mentions spe-
citic instances of his alleged cruelty. He
swore at her, 1t is claimed, and called her
names. On the witness stand Mrs. Stewart
told Judge Allen dreadful story Of alleged
cruelty. which she said her husband prac-
ticed toward her.
On the other hand Stewart claims his
wife drank and was fnveterate smoker.
1t Is claimed IL will be shown that Mrs.
Stewards bar bill'' at one saloon amount
ed to So for one week. DIR. Stewart says he
can prove that his wife smoked cigars at a
terrific rate, consuming many OF them each
day. He says she also visited Fairbank
and other resorts and drank intoxicants
with other men. Mrs. Stewart AYERS that
her husband chased her about the house
with a pistol and opened her letters con-
tanning checks. which he converted to his
own use.

AS TO GRADE CROSSINGS
VIEWS OF MANAGER LOREE, OF THE
PENNSYLVANIA LINES.
The Passenger Reform Supported by
Presidents, Directors and Stock
hoIders-General Notes.

L. F. Loree, general manager Of the
Pennsylvania lines West, is conservative in
his views regarding grade crossings. He is
quoted as saying that the responsibility
for the creation Of grade crossings rests
not unequally upon the State ane upon the
railroads. The majority of the crossings
were established when the railroads were
built, and the railroads were allowed to
cross at grade when this method was
cheapest or more convenient. The Identical
location of tracks which are now regarded
as inimical to the best interests of cities
were. in many cases. granted as induce
ments to railroad construction Streets
were vacated and rights Of way presented
through the centers OF towns. The respon-
sibility is joint one, and should be frank
ly acknowledged by all the parties inter-
ested-by the State, by the municipalities
and by the railroad companies" Mr.. Loree
says that 'the law instructs every traveller
before crossing railroad track. to stop,
look and listen: children are rarely hurt
at such crossings as they are aware Of
the dangers and naturally timid. and are
not as careless and reckless as some of the
older people. Until the number Of vehicles
and pedestrians on highway crossing a
railroad track at grade reaches three thou
sand daily, I think 1t is not necessary to
throw additional safeguafd around the
crossing" He scored the politicians in this
manner: ION the part of cities the inter-
ests are complex in the extreme; few of
the streams of modern civilization are so
muddy as that of politics. In almost every
public work there is a job. and the effort to
fasten one on work of the character under
consideration. directly or indirectly, de-
lays and sometimes defeats an agreement.
The sense of moral responsibility is en-
tirely wanting in the municipal govern
ment. The ins.s dual property owner IA
vors, in a general way, the abolition of
grade crossing, but does not willingly sub
init to the most trifling personal loss or
inconvenience"
