about Arctic exploration and an ex-

Nessy's loud protest brought Betsy
Beauty out OF the dining room, and
in a moment my cousin, looking more
than ever like a painted doll in her
white muslin dress with a large blue
bow in her yellow hair had run up

Another compensation was the
greater opportunity | had for cultl-

recently made with the doctors son,
when he came with his father on
visits TO my mother. AS soon as the

gig and help the boy to hold the reins
while his father was upstairs.

Tommy used to say into the cause

Aunt Bridget's Anger.

or course, there was fearful
clamor. Betsy Beauty shrieked and
Messy beloved, whereupon Aunt
Bridget came racing from her parlor,
while my mother, white and trem-
bling, halted al the door of her room.
"Many. Mally, what have you
done?" cried my mother, but Aunt
Bridget found no need OF questions.
After running upstairs to her drip
ping daughter. wiping her down with
a handkerchief calling her my poor
darling" and saying, Didn't | tel

BY this time had dropped my emp
ty bowl on the stairs and taken ref
uge behind my mothers gown, but |
heard her timid voice trying to ex-
cuse me, and saying something about
my cousin and a childish quarrel.

aunt; there's nothing childish about
that little imp, nothing. And what's

stepping out TO the head of the stairs,
shouted down in my shrillest treble:

devil, and | wouldn't trust but shell

Never. to the last hour of my life,

nouncement one moment Aunt
Bridget stood speeches. in the MD

been broken out OF her. Then, ghast-

Aunt Bridget told him, with various
embellishments. which my mother did
not attempt to correct, and then,
knowing she was in the wrong, she
began to wipe her eyes with her wet
handkerchief, and to say she could
not live any longer where child was
encouraged to insult her.

POLICE ARE DENOUNCED
BY FATHER OF THE GIRL.

CHICAGO, July 2o.-Detectives to-
day believed that they had exhumed
the body OF Katherine Winters in the
.potters' field at Champaign, Ill, but
DR.. William A. Winters, Of Newcastle,
Ind, father OF the child, who dis
appeared in March, 1918, said the hair
OF the dead girl did not correspond
with that Of his daughter.
II don't think she Is my little gin"
asserted DR.. Winters over the long
distance telephone. my girl had
brown hair while the little girl whose
body they exhumed had very light
blonde hair. don't believe 1t is she"
i've been treated so badly by these
tin star detectives that take very
little faith in their discoveries any
more. There's no use in my going to
Champaign but l have sent an officer
over there Just to make sure" DR..
Winters added.
Its another plot to ruin my char
acter," DR.. Winters said. Why these
detectives even went around town this
morning trying to get the neighbors
to swear that my little girl had blonde
hair. Everybody who knew her knows
that she had brown hair"

inf intense mental agony, he finally
reached the lumber regions Of north

mixed Mr.. Milton and inquired as to
