but she dismissed the harassing thought
until the morrow should be over.
Christmas morning she left Peggy Pom
crept down to the shabby parlor where
Jim Bennett had already preceded her
to prepare the little tree.
1t was a gay little tree when it was
all dressed with glittering ornaments and
weighted with various mysteriously bulg-
ing gifts for the household. Airline and
Jim went down TO breakfast bearing invi-
tations to the unfortunate boarders who
had received no bidding to Christmas
feastings among friends or relatives be-
cause they were too widely separated
from old ties.
They were all assembled in the parlor
when Airline came in with the Ponsonby
baby. who was the indirect cause OF these
festivities.
And at this very moment while Peggy
was growing with delight at the glitter
ing tree. the door opened and Mrs. John
son ushcred in a little black-eyed man,
and a man and woman, handsomely dres-
sed, y0ung and haggard looking.
The woman screamed Historically and
held out her arms to the baby. It's
my baby" she cried. My little-little
Peggy-give her to me, please!" and she
snatched the baby from Arline's arms
and hugged her to her breast, while
the man put his arms around them both
and turned his head away.
Mrs. johnson attempted an explanation:
Seems like those Ponsonbys were kid
nappers." she said grimly. The baby

Try to Help Poor.

"It is practically true that all families
to whom our attention has been called
as being without some Christmas cheer
we have tried to help" declared Secre-
tary Ufford, of the Associated Charities
yesterday.
That is the sentiment which will pre-
vail in Washington today. Although the
people who are classed as poor" num-
ber into the thousands, Christmas
charity will certainly reach all Of them.
Baskets Of food, bundles Of clothing and
countless toys will find their way into
the homes Of those to whom Christmas,
otherwise, would be nothing but a name
or a remembrance.
The efforts of bringing cheer to these
homes have been put forth by hundreds
of employers. Benevolent organizations
are taxed to their utmost. Lodges, So
cieties, religious associations of young
people have been preparing for weeks
for today. The hundreds of Washing
ton churches will reach a large majority
Of dependent people.
Institutions of correction and asylums
will give elaborate dinners to their
inmates, while missions will feed scores
Of homeless and hungry unfortunates.
AS the Associated Charities is in touch
with practically all Of such families and
individuals and has given advice and d.
rection to those organizations and peo-
pie charitably inclined, Secretary Ut-
ford's statement will indeed show the
day to be a true Christmas.

1t seemed to airline Avery that hhe
Ponsonby's baby had never cried so long

AS exclusively forecast in The Herald
yesterday morning, Jesse W. Lown, a
local property owner, yesterday brought
equity proceedings in the District Su-
preme Court to test the efficacy of sec
ton 16, of the Clayton amendment to the
Sherman antitrust act, and under its
provision to have the Underwriters As

decreed to be an unlawful combination in

against the Home Insurance Company.

Justice Mccoy cited the insurance com

retary Of the Retail Merchants Associa-

1T is certain that the early shopping
movement has received a great impetus,
and the public was made to realize that
the eight-hour law for female employees
made 1t impossible for the stores to be-
open in the evenings. This law was
strictly and generally lived up to. Thoss'
stores that were able to stay open found
that the greater part OF the public had
shopped in the daytime.

GUTIERREZ HAS NOT
QUIT MEXICO CITY
Villa Confers with Him Regarding
Paci6cadon of Country's
Troubled Condition.

Reports that Gutierrez had quarreled
with Gems. Angeles and Palafox and
been driven from Mexico City were dis
credited yesterday with the receipt OF a
dispatch at the State Department, max
ing no mention Of any such occurrences.
The reports in question were circulated
on the Mexican border.
According to the departments advices,
Villa has been comforting with President
Gutierrez with regard to the measures
adopted for the rehabilitation Of the Mex
leo City government and the pacihcation
of the country.
CarranZa has wired a denial that he
intends to leave Mexico Carranza states
that these reports are spread by the op-
position, and is the expression of what
they hope. CarranZa's message was sent
from Apizaco, where, he said, he was
visiting the troops, which he found "in
high spirits and eager to assume the
