She was to take the baby back to the
Van Nest home the following morn
ing. John, indeed, had wanted her
to do so that night, but she had plead
ed so hard that she had persuaded
him to let her keep it until the NOR
row.
And, now that it's loss seemed in
evitable, they began to discuss the fu-
ture. Five thousand dollars seemed
an enormous sum to John. His own
wages were $25 and they had put by
comfortable sum out of that, by fru-
gality. Moreover, John was slated
for the foreman's position when old
Richards retired, and that would
mean $40 more. However, $4,000
would enable them to start life as
their own masters.
Nora listened to Johns prognosti-
cations with less enthusiasm than
she pretended. She doubted Johns
ability to carry out his farming plan.
A farm was all very we'll in ones old
age, but in youth one needed the
impetus of work. And then, there
was the baby. That night she cried
secretly as she held the little form
against her. The little girl had seemed
almost to know her, and the chubby
arms were stretched out in recogni-
ton when she went near. She fell
asleep at last and awakened with
splitting headache.
John understood what was wrong.
He did not attempt to say very much
that morning, and his kiss was I'M
usually tender as he wished her good
by. He even stopped to take the clean
little hand in his own work-stained
one. Nora knew that John had begun
to feel an attachment for the child.
She could hardly bear the duty that
lay before her.
However, after she had done the
mornings work she put on her new
cloak and best bonnet and took the
babv ont into the street. It was a |

Nora, in faltering accents, explained

Nora had planned her speech, but
now it all left her. She stood up be-

she was crying, and the tears
streamed down her cheeks. she was
left at the door yesterday morning,
ma'am, and when I showed her to
John last night he said it was your
baby, and people were advertising for
it and it'd have to go back. And so

soon as the work was done"
Mrs. Van Nest seemed to soften a
little.

Nora remained mute, and the tears

You wouldn't believe how brazen

Nora, staggered, looked at Mrs.
Van Nest with eyes that could hardly
see through the mists that gathered
before them.

LaFOLET7E'S REAL REASON

Why LaFolette opposes the Anglo
French credit loan is probably best
explained by the census figures. The
Little Giant has fought everything
the opposing Of which could possibly
get him a vote and like Bryan and J.
Hamilton Lewis, he is now angling for
the German vote of which Milwaukee
and other portions of the Badger state
have a goodly number.
However, level headed Americans
with proGerman sympathies are not
opposing the loan to any great extent.
LaFolletre and other politicians who
are seeking to gather political strength
in this quarter are doomed to disa-
pointment. With munitions of war
eliminated from the consideration OF
this loan, sentimental opposition will
melt away.
In a recent number Of LaFollette'5
Weekly the senior senator from Wis
consin uttcrs his usual rant against
Wall Street, charging the American
bankers with d~elibera.e violation OF
neutrality.

bert she showed a lot of letters from
a man | California, saying that she
intended to marry the man and would
soo have a home for the child.
Another story told Mrs. Palmer by
Miss Wendell was that the parents OF
the child lived in Germany that they
had been married against the wishes
of tler parents and for that reason
wanted the identity of the child kept
secret. She said the mother was
working in a shirt factory in Germany.
Mrs. Palmer facetiously referred to
this story as the shirt waist story"
Miss Wendell Suspected
For a long time Mrs. Palmer stated
she believed Miss Wendell to be the
mother of the boy, and coaxed and
begged her to let him be adopted, but
she was firm in her refusal. Every
effort was made, said Mrs. Palmer to
ascertain who the parents CT Her
bert were but nothing could be dis
covered. 1t was generally understood
after a time that he was a son OF Miss
Wendell.
The child often spoke OF Mamma

coming back from tle east but never
referred to the Sides or TO any other
parties.
Express orders which had been re-
turned to Miss Wendell were present
ed as evidence of the fact that money
had been furnished at all times for
the support of a child.
Mrs. Palmer was still on the stand
when court adjourned last evening.
She will likely be called again this
morning when the taking Of her tes-
timlony will be continued.

merce a product called "Bad-Em-Salz"
which it was alleged was falsely and
fraudulently labeled. An analysis of
a sample of the product showed that
it consisted Of common salt, Glauber

critics of the great European springs
famous for centuries for the cure OF
diseases Of the stomach, intestines,
liver, kidneys, or bladder, and that it
represented the medicinal agents OBJ

things that these claims were false

that tle statements in the circular
indicating that the preparation con-
tanned ingredients O medicinal agents
effective for dissolving gall stones,
for the prevention of gastritis, for
