ALL FOR THE SAKE OF BETSY
When Col. }. J. Aston Jeopardlzsd
HE Yacht and Passengers
for = Dog.

Some years ago Col. ]. ]. ABtor and
his yacht Nourmahal and his son,
Vincent, were reported lost at sen,
the New York correspondent Of
Cincinnati Times-Star recalls. Every
one got excited about it-especially
in New York newspaper offices. It
was New York newspaper, you may
remember, which ran this headline
over the story of the wreck Of the
Titanic: "Col. John Jacob Aston Lost
at Sea; Two Thousand Others Also
Drowned"
The Astor part Of the headline was
in very large pink letters and the
rest was comparatively modest type.
When the Nourmahal was reported
lost the papers began to talk about
sending out searching expeditions.
The government dispatched a cruiser
to search for Aston. Now Richard
Barry tells the story of that episode
for the first time. "Astor was very
fond OF his pet dog" says Barry. THE
pet dog hated the sea- The second
day out on the cruise the dog began
to nope. Aston told the captain of
INC yoSuI " pOlul n0T uOS6 IOT buOT0.
I'll take Betsy off and give her a
rum said the master of millions.
They landed that day on the
Caroline shore and Betsy got her run.
But one run wasn't enough for her.
Each day, as they voyaged south.
Betsy was taken on land to stretch
her legs. Finally they were on the
Honduras coast, and Betsy began to
howl for a frolic. The captain pro-
tested that the coast line was insufi-
GENTLY charted, and that the Nourma-
hal was In danger of being wrecked II
he was obliged to run in too near.
No matter said Astor. Betsy
isn't happy
so they put In, and shelved tho
Nourmahal on a rock, and every one
north of Panama became violently ex-
cited because 1t wasn't possible to
hear from the Astors, and 1t cost the
yacht owner a good many dollars to
get her of. But he didn't care. He
was fond of Betsy-and Betsy had
her run"

gave a mother child without a purpose"
Quickly, she made toilet and prepared to
meet whoever might come. The old servant,
she would not disturb she had better face this
problem alone. If sin there was, she only would
share it with Ned
Polly turned the light low, and sat in semi
darkness, listening, listening. For long time,
there sound except the mourning of the
wind, if sobbing for some lost soul. Sud-
denly, the telephone began to ring if it meant
10 wake the dead. With nervousness that
almost uncomfortable, Polly crossed the room and
took down the receiver
"Oh, it is you Doctor Burtonw There was
intense relief in the tone. "Of course Bring
her right here. How dreadful I'll have every
thing ready"
The message from the crossroads, quar-
of mile away. There had been a fearful
accident-some automobile "joy-riders," the Doc
tor said, woman badly, perhaps fatally hurt.
Although Polly realized keeny the horror Of
the message, she felt personally as though she
had been granted reprieve from sentence of
death. She hurried away to make ready for the
injured woman, and the physical activity gave
her nerves relief.
Very soon, she heard voices coming up the
walk. AS she opened the door, the cold night
wind rushed past her into the house. The figure
they bore silently up the steps seemed limp and
lifeless In a fresh, sweet room, they laid her
down. Polly took the cold hand and chafed it
gently. The ministering angel in her had awak-
ened. The Doctor looked at Polly.
"Am afraid this is an imposition" he said in
a short dry tone that made Polly look at hum
in surprise. 81 should not have brought this
woman here 1t is not fit"
"Oh!" cried Polly, with indrawn breath hold

fit? What do you mean? She is a woman,
perhaps mother, who knows?"
"Who knows?" repeated the doctor, as he took
the woman's wrist between his fingers. "Who
knows?"
The eyes of the opened wide and
looked about From the doctors face they
turned to Polly, then wandered restlessly about
the room, if in search of something, until
they rested on Madonna and Child. A look
of pain swept the face; but the eyes were riveted
on the picture, which held them as by a spell.
Her lips moved but the words were unintelli-
gible The girl bent her with quick SYM
pathy.
what is it," she asked. "Is there some
thing?"
"The picture, the child" the woman muttered,
"take it away. I-I-can not stand it. Take
it away" Closing her eyes firmly, she covered
her face with her hands.
The doctor beckoned Polly from the room.
Call some to take your place here" he
said. 81 will have to leave. There is nothing
more to do; it is merely question of time.
One unfortunate that is all"
At his words, Polly's pent-up feeling gave way
in burst of tears. The doctor patted her
shoulder.
Never mind, little girl" he said 81 should
not have brought her here. The passing of such
a woman is not to be regretted; you will learn

of separation became almost acute What
lonely life had she lived since her mother died.
and how empty her had been! But
she knew the full sweetness of a dear little
nesting form-how could she give him up?
Sometimes in the stiffness of the night pity
for the unknown mother would sweep her
Then, the words of the boy would reassure her:
She's busy with parties and things" Polly
would cry out in an agony of resentment "She
shall not have him. He's mine, mine" With
wide eyes she would lie awake, the little
body pressed close, her lips against the curly
head. How was it possible for God to make
such mistake? He had given the mother the
child. What His plan? He surely had a
plan. The child belonged to the mother was
given to her for some purpose What purpose?
Was she party to crime in Withholding him
from her? Then her mood would change. What
unnatural mother! She should not have him!
Days heightened into weeks, weeks into
months, but still no word no message. Finally
one clustering autumn night Polly was startled
from her sleep by the persistent ringing of the
telephone. She opened her eyes with a terrifying
sense of impending crisis The little warm figure
nestled close; the chubby fingers were closed
firmly on her sleeve. Lovingly she unclasped
the baby hand.
BLESSED Cherub." she whispered
From the telephone another summons came
quick and imperative. AS she took down the re-
celver, her hand shook like a pasied member
The bowling of the wind, the stiffness of the
house, the darkness of the room, the lateness of
the hour and the sudden insstent call from the
outer world made every nerve Jingle
Hello! Yes. This is the Dean resi-
dence" she faltered. Eyes, l am Polly Dean
What did you say? Mother COM

understand. Not let her have him, did you say?
Who's talking? Who? Hello! Hello! Central
give me the connection again Must have
the connection Long Distance, put them on the
line again. Why, why did you cut me off,"
The girl walked the length of the room wiring
ing her hands. What was she to do? If the
mother came, how could she keep the child?
The message said she must not, should not, have
him. She lighted lamp and turned it high, so
the light fell full the child's face Not fit
and the mother of that child? How could God
have made such mistake? But the voice?
With bound of the heart, Polly remembered
the voice 1t had come to her with a dear, ia
mlllar note. 1t was his child-his All doubt
was swept away. She dropped on her knees
beside the bed and pressed the soft hands to
her lips. She knew why he had worn the
little Carib-suit. Ned had remembered as well
as she.
"I'll lie, I'll steal! She shall not have nv
Cherub" she sobbed. "Save me- O God" she
whispered. for the waters come into my soul
L sink in deep mire, where there is no standing:
| am come in deep waters where the floods
overcome me-"
Strengthened by the brief prayer, Polly arose
with calm determination. Quietly she lifted the
child and carried him up the narrow steps that
lead to the little garnet ROOM where the dolls
that she had loved in her childhood still slept
