mails" they answered In South Africa one of their
principal pastimes had been to trek through the
woods with their dogs. The Horners remained at
Ellis island for several weeks after they had been
admitted to the country; then Doctor Howe took
them up to q summer home he has In the woods In
Westchester county.
There they have lived all winter, enjoying life in
the open country, especially when on the
ground and the deer tracks could be followed
through the woods. The two younger girls possess
a knowledge OF woodcraft which Doctor Howe says
is really amazing, and they have no fear Of getting
lost In the woods They walk for miles In which
ever direction their fancy takes them always find
ing their way back home by the same sort of In
stinct as that by which an Indian is guided.
The interest shown by Doctor Howe In this par
ticular case was in keeping with his general policy
of so administering the affairs Of Ellis island that
those who come to this country from other lands
with the intention Of making a home for them
selves will be treated with as much kindness and
consideration the enforcement of the exclusion
laws permits.
The enforcement Of these laws is bound TO cause
many hardships and disappontments but Ellis is

uon ward, which he frequently does there are al
ways many questions to answer and heartaches to
ssoothe.
Late one afternoon last October Doctor Howe,
While going around the station on one of these
tours of investigation, noticed q middle-aged wom-
an, of neat, mothery appearance with two pretty
little girls cuddng up to her sitting in the deten-
tion room. AS the hour was late and he thought
they were visitors Doctor Howe inquired what they
were waiting for and if he could do anything for
ahem.
The woman explained that she was British and
with her children had been ordered deported They
had arrived from Great Britain about q month be-
fore, but had friends in this country and no
money and, therefore, had not been allowed to
enter.
The healthy appearance of the two children, their
pretty faces and their evident good breeding won
over the commissioners on the spot, and he immedi-
-ately interested himself in their case.
The woman's name was Mrs. Rita Horner, and
her story this: when the war broke out she
was living with her family, which, besides her hus-
band, consisted of two sons and three daughters,
dairy farm some miles out Of Capetown, South
Africa The country about them was rugged and
wild and the girls, despite their young years
forced to walk many miles every day to attend
school. The sons who were older, helped to work
the farm.
THE husband and the two boys. along with most
of the able-bodied men in that section, enlisted In
the British army soon after war was declared and
were sent to the front They took part In the
fighting in Belgium and northern France. One son
was killed and the father seriously wounded All
trace of the other son had been lost Mrs. Homer
was unable 10 work the farm by herself. so she
raised what money she could and went to England
with her three daughters-Una, fifteen years: Piri.
ten years old, and Rita. nine years old. They
had not been in England long when Mrs. Horner
decided TO come to America"
ON hearing Mrs. Horner's story Doctor Howe
communicated with the authorities at Washington.
He explained that these people were all strong
and healthy. that the children were beautiful and
that there danger of them becoming n pub
lie charge Furthermore. he announced his willing
TO be responsible for them. and few days
after the machinery had been set in motion word
came back from Washington that Mrs. Horner and
her children would be released In his custody.
Meantime the family had made friends with near
ly everybody on the Island The watchman and
guards petted the children and gave them many
little presents. The attendants did all they could
90 make them comfortable.
Despite these attentions the children sometimes
