STEIN HOME AFTER
5 YEARS IN NAVY
Cape Boy, Since He Left Here
Has Visited Almost Every
Port on Globe.

After eight years of service as a
sailor in the United States Navy, dur
ing which time his duties called him
to every important port nall the
countries of the world, William Stein
Cape Girardeau boy, was yesterday
welcomed back home again.
Mr.. Stein is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Gus Stein of 725 Morgan-Oak street
in this city, and his return yesterday
was the first time he had seen his par
ents since his enlistment in st. Louis
little more than eight years ago.
When his term of service expired
he was stationed on the Steamship
Cincinnati, which is now in port on
the coast of China.
He sailed from Nakasaki, China, on
the government transport Logan, and
started on his homeward journey on
October 81. He came by way of Fris-
co, and Immediately after touching
American soil, he proceeded by tra
to his home in this city.
Mr.. Stein was but II years of age
when he entered the naval service, and
during the eight years that have
elapsed, has never been back to the
place of his birth until his arrival yes
terday.
He expressed great surprise at the
wonderful development of the city,
and could hardly realize that the va
cant lots and broad fields on which he
had romped with his playmates, could
have IN so short a time undergone
such a complete Transformation as to
become popular residence sections on
which are now standing compact
blocks of beautiful homes.
He expressed himself as greatly
pleased with the service. but stated
that he felt he had devoted sufficient
time to that particular following, and
that he had no intention of re-enlist-
ing.
His parents are overjoyed at his re-
turn, and both are anxious that he re-
main near them in the future. While
he is not yet settled as to his future
plans, he is determined never to go to
sea again, and will perhaps engage in
business in this city.
On the transport Logan which
brought Mr. Stein to America, was a
detachment Of the 18th u. 6. Infantry

interest at all meetings has largely
increased and we thank God and
take courage.

Get her, by all means, If she can
sing" the clergyman urged, and Billy
FASTENED to Helen.
Il have an engagement for you for
Easter he said. viii you Gomez"
There was sparkle in her beauti-
full eyes. and look of gladness over
spread her face as she replied
Il should think would. You don't
know how sorry have been to think
was not going to have a chance
to sing anywhere on Easter. Tell me
all about it."
He hastily explained the situation
and she agreed with much enthusiasm
to fill Mrs. Wallingford's place.
"Only it's too bad" she said, that
the engagement had to come because
of another's misfortune. You will
have very little time and l will need
to rehearse, you know"
When Easter Sunday came Billy
Bronson was in a state of nervousness
such as was not at all common to him.
He had never worked as he had
worked during those three days, and
he felt ready to collapse when he
took his place in the choir. Looking
out at the immense congregation, he
saw his father in a pew well down
toward the front.
When Helen rose to sing her solo
Billy held his breath and watched his
father. He saw the old gentleman
lean forward in his pew as the rich,
sweet, sympathetic strains foated out
He had never heard such singing be-
fore, and the loneliness of the singer
entranced him. The sternness faded
out of Frederick Bronson's counte-
nance; the spirit of Easter crept into

long hours thinking of Helen and try
ing to make up his mind to give up
everything else for her When morn
ing came he was fully determined. In
fact he had been determined from the
first, but he had debated the question
with himself in all its phases, and
had been unable to arrive at any other
conclusion than that Helen Brooks
was more to him than everything else
in the world.
He decided, however, that 1t would
be useless to make his decision known
as long as declaration was unneces-
sary. There was one thing that both
cred him more than his fathers oppo-
sition to Helen. That was his fear
that she would never consent to be his
wife if she learned that their parents
had been enemies. and he felt that he
was in honor bound to tell her. While
he was thinking the matter over at
breakfast he was called to the tele-
phone and informed that Mrs Wal
lingford, the soprano of the church
choir of which he was the director,
had been stricken with appendicitis
and would be compelled to undergo
an operation at once. This would
make it impossible for her to sing on
Easter, which was only three adys
away.
Billy hurried to Dr. Williamson to
consult him about it.
I'VE simply must have somebody
who can take Mrs. Wallingford's
place." said the reverend gentleman.
Easter is the occasion of all occa-
sions when we ought to have our
choir at its best You must find some
body-somehow."
Billy suddenly frightened.

Congress was, and is concerned, no
great loss will result, but so far
as the people are concerned,
we believe they would prefer to pay
a Congressman for staying in Wash
ington, while Congress is in session,
at least, than one who spends his
time at home electioneering, and at
the same time draws his salary for
representing them in Congress.
