YOUNG WOMAN WITH CHILDREN
APPLIES FOR AID.
Deserted By Her Husband Mrs. Higdon
OF Andalusla Seeks Assistance
From Organized Charities.
A PitifuI Case.

Deserted by her husband. absolutely
penniless, with two children, the older
child critically i'll with typhoid teVer
in a local hospital and alone in Mont
gomery without home or friends Is
the pftiful case of Mrs. Higdon'
young woman of Andalusia who has ap-
Piled to the Organized Charities LOT
help.
The young woman with her two
young sons, aged three and six years.
came to Montgomery a week ago from
Andalusia in search of work but
she was unable to secure employment
All the money she had was five dollars
and this she paid for lodging herself
and children.
A day or so after arriving in Mont
gomery, the elder boy was taken sick
with fever and the young mother was
unable to have a doctor or buy any
medicine for the little fellow. Last
night. her weeks board had expired
and in desperation, she appealed to the
Organized Charities for assistance and
told the story of how she had heard
that a semstress could always obtain
good wages in Montgomery and how
she had left Andalusia to try to make
living for herself and boys.
Yesterday afternoon, little fellow,
whose cheeks were flushed with fever
weak from the lack of nourishment and
proper attention. was taken as char
ity patient to the City Infirmary and
the first step towards helping the I'M
fortunate woman had begun by the
charity association.
In speaking of the case. which he
declared to be most deserving, Secre-
tary GLADDEN. Harrison of the Organ
lied Charities said that he felt sure
the good people of Montgomery would
help a woman in such a pitiful circum-
stances If they knew of the case. He
therefore asks that people having a
desire to relieve in a way the suffer
ings of the unfortunate woman who is
alone among strangers will contribute
what they can through the Organized
Charities.
The finances of the association are
low from the constant drain upon the
funds for charity work and help Is
needed from the outside to care for the
woman until she is able to support
herself and children. Some place must
be secured for her and her child while
the older boy is in the hospital The
woman is anxious to obtain employ
ment and every effort will be made BY
the charity association to aid her ir
| the project.
Mrs Higdon was deeply gratified a
the assistance rendered her by the as
ISOLATION and was profuse In her thank!
| for aid in her time of need.

Patricia sat upringht in bed and
watched the whimsical play of the
moonlight across the furniture and
carpet as it pushed its way through
restless group of mock oranges just
outside her window. The Delft clock
on the mantel struck twice. ringingly
and concisely, causing her to give an
altogether absurd start-quite as
though she had not heard every hour
end half hour of the interminably
dragging night.
Finally She lay down again, and
again began the restless tossing that
would not and could not be conquered.
Somehow. the unease and anxiety that
had hitherto been more or less of an
intangible nature. seemed all at once
to have grown actually appalling in
it's stern reality. The thorough anal
ysis of her feelings she had taken to-
night left no room in her mind for fur
Their doubt of the situation. One thing
standing out from all the rest, was
palpably apparent. She must get
away, somewhere-anywhe the pres

Another hour passed. Patricia rose
abruptly, and without a moments hes
ftation, slipped into dark travelling
costume. and deftly thrust a few ne
cessary articles into a satchel A train
for the north would leave In As min
utes. The hour was propitious. and
with the aid of a thick veil, no one
would ever suspect her identity. OF
course everything would come out az
forwards. but at least she should avoid
present conspicuousness.
When everything was in readiness
she crossed the room softly and part
