She nodded; she could not speak,
and went back to her desk. And in
the silence of that afternoon both
had forgotten all about the little old
lady until her bonnet appeared inside
the office at few minutes after four.
SANFORD, looking at her, felt sud-
den contraction of his heart. Some
how she brought back wildly to his
mind his home days; his father, harsh
and unkind! his mother, loving but
helpless in the face of the stern man
who, annoyed by some bOyish failing,
had roughly turned the 13-year-old
child out of his home. He had not
meant what he said, but Harry had
seized the opportunity to leave a
place. that had been more a prison
than home to him.
He had not wanted to see the old
lady, but, now that he saw her in
front of him, he rose to his feet, swal-
lowing hard.
well, Mrs. Burton, I am glad to
see yoU," he said. I'VE have had sew
eral letters from you about your
stock and am sorry that there has
been some delay in replying to them.
However, we are going to declare a
dividend next week of ten per cent,
and later we shall have another, and
how much was Mrs. BuFton's in
vestment, Miss LOrimer?"
But the old lady was still standing
before him, looking keenly into his
face. Suddenly she cried:
Harry"
He kenw her. He knew his mother
after all those years. He had changed
more than she; but she had known
him first by virtue of the love that
every mother bears toward the child
that she has borne.

she cried incoherently. 1T was your
name that made me invest, Harry,
but never thought that it could be
my own boy. am so proud of you,
my dear, to see you so prosperous
and = and so handsome, Harry!
Didn't they tell you I had moved to
Philadelphia when married Mr.. Bur-
ton? But 1 never forgot you, and
after he died last year tried so hard
to find you. And now l have found
you and you must come home"
''W1n you take two children, moth
err" he asked.
She shot her keen look at Miss
LOrimer, who was crying frankly over
her typewriter.
''This is Hilda, my future wife"
said Sanford.

at her, said:

The wOnder-girl tried not to admit

Vance that she quite understood the

the settlement of the strike were not
followed.
The extensive hearing given in
New York to the connection of John
d. Rockefeller, Jr., with the big
Colorado strike has whetted the ap-
petite of labor leaders for further
information. The labor leaders
charged the younger Rockefeller
with being the man behind the big
labor troubles, but the road to
proof was narrow indeed. Rookie
feller's assurances that the Colorado
affairs were left to the local officials
of the coal interests cleared his
skirts for the time being. But the
federal probers insisted on looking
into the Rockefeller correspondence
of the strike period, with the result
that information was CLEANED on
which Mr.. Walsh based his accusa-
lions.
The hearing set for today is life
or death struggle for the industrial
relations committee, for if the
charges made by its head are proven
to be unfounded, much of its extern
sive work will be discredited.
Frank p. Walsh, the fighting
chairman of the commission is a
cleYer lawyer. and has made a great
reputation in Kansas City, first as
member of the Tenement Commits
sion, then as attorney of the Board
of Public Welfare and president Of
the Board of Civil Service He is
an avowed believer in public owner
ship, and has the operation of the
coal mines by the government. He
was appointed to his present office
by President Wilson in 1918.
Although the Rockefeller contro-
versy is the one big issue of the
hearing scheduled for today, the
commission will take up the charges
of the railroad telegraphers against
the Pennsylvania Railroad, will hear
Robert T. Lincoln, chairman of the
board of the Pullman Company in
the deferred Pullman inquiry, and
go into the industrial situation in
Porto Rico and the smuggling of
Asiatics into this country.

FEEL LOSS OF ALLIGAT0Rs
GREETING the Practical ExtInc-
tIon Of the Reptiles.

Interference with the order Of ma
ture is likely to produce unexpected
results. A curious illustration Of this
general law is afforded by the case Of
the Louisiana alligators.
The bayous Of Louisiana were for
merly the homes Of alligators without
number. They did no particular harm
except by catching a stray pig or dog
now and then, nor were they known
to be Of any particular use. The peo-
pie, for the most part. let them alone.
Then there sprang up in the north
demand for alligator skins for the
making Of various articles and the nat
ural result followed. The alligators
were killed in great numbers until
presently they were almost extermin-
ated.
No harm was done. people thought;
but by and by 1t began to be noticed
that certain mischievous quadrupeds
were multiplying. In the rice fields
the muskrats increased In such num-
bers that 1t became hard work to
hold back the levees, which had been
built to keep the water on the rice
during the growing season. What
perhaps was more serious. the same
burrowing rodents infested the front
levees and nothing but constant
watchfulness averted disastrous con-
sequences.
Then market gardeners began to
complain of an alarming increase In
the number OF rabbits. raccoons, and
other animals which preyed upon the
caulinower. cabbage, lettuce and SINH
lar vegetables. Some Of the garden
ers were compelled to inclose their
gardens with close wire fences or else
abandon the cultivation Of some Of
their most profitable crops.
The alligators had not been useless.
and the people had learned anew that
1t is dangerous to 60 too fast and too
far in disturbing the order Of nature.

Chum Bob's Sporting Talk

If the developments of last summer
and of recent date may be taken as
a criterion. the professional golfer
soon will be coming into his own.
Many times within the last few
months the need for more tourna-
ments for the professional golfer
has been pointed out, and particular
stress has been laid on the fact that
not all of the tournaments for sal
aried brigade should be medal play,
following closely the championships.
Some of the clubs are arranging for
tournaments in the fall, which will
be open to all, conditions calling
for an IS or SO hole testing round
with subsequent match pay at is
holes. 1t is likely that the double
circuit will be used for the final.
