him down In the sand. Before he could
recover Sandy was upon him, with all
the fury of man gone mad.
He shortened the babche by twisting
II again and again about his band, and
the club rose and fell with the skill and
strength of one long accustomed to its
use. The first blows served only to add to
Kazan's hatred OF man, and the ferocty
and fearlessness OF his attacks. Again
and again he leaped in, and each time
the club fell upon him with force that
threatened to break his bones. There
was a tense hard look about Sandy's

almost winded. Not until the club slipped

his canoe higher up on the sand and
began to prepare camp for the night.

The destiny or n pretty. blue-eyed, 2
months-old baby girl is in the balance

or not she reads in the newspapers that
a comfortable home awaits her and her
child.
The Branchtown police are convinced
that the same god of chance that caused
the mother to place her baby on a door

of n couple who are piHing for just such
a littel sunshine" girl. will see to it that
she too will find home.
The pet dog OF Mrs. NJ. A. Gaertner,
5l32 North 18th street. Logan, shifted
the front door last night that Mrs.
Gaertner looked outside. There, bundled
up warmly. lay happy. little girl baby
with this note pinned to its clothing:
To whom It may concern:
God will bless you II you will care
for this little baby girl until I am In
better circumstances. Please save
the garments as a means OF identif-
cation. as l will surely claim her soon.

Then the baby had the busiest time of
her two months life receiving callers,
visiting at several houses, and later 60
ing through the important ceremony of
being christened. They almost had to
call out the police reserves to quell a
riot, so insistent were the Logan resi-
dents on entertaining and caring for the
child.
Instead OF that. the police finally took
her triumphantly to the Branchtown
police station. There It was chrlstened
Lindley Logan, because It was found
near Lindley avenue, Logan, After this
experience II was decided the baby had
had enough excitement for one night and
she was taken to the Jewish Hospital.
The result of the nights adventures is
that Mrs. S. j. Livingstone. 1880 MarYlne

which "Chance" selected for the baby to
be left, made this statement:

THE PEOPLE IS CHEEREO
Wilson Asks in Jefferson-Day Speech
If All Are Ready for Great
Test.

Washington, April l.. r. President
Wilson, speaking at Jefferson day
banquet of Democrats from all parts
Of the country here last night, prayed
that the United States would not be
drawn into a quarrel not Of its own
choosing, but asked whether the peo-
pie were ready to 30 in where the in
teTpsts of America were COincdent
with the interests OF humanity, and
have the courage to withdraw when
the interests of humanity had been
conserved He was interrupted by
cheers and shouts Of Yes"
The president mentioned the Euro,
pean war and the Mexican question
without intimatmg what were his
plans in either OF the problems con
fronting the United States.
He declared that in the present
situation the responsibility was with
the Democratic party because that
party controls the government.
The president declared that he was
lbl lll'l tSNtu III l'i o'bu' "h'''''N'''
nor even enthusiastic over party sue
cess, but that he was interested in
seeing the load depressing humanity
lifted
What the nation demands now, the
president said is service essentially
nonpartisan, not only in COnsdera-
ton of foreign affairs but in domestic
affairs as well
Referring incidentally to Mexico, he
told of how a man had urged that
trustees for that nations welfare be
chosen, and of his reply that no ma
tion had achieved real prosperity ana
happiness for it's masses through a
trustec8hip imposed on it from above
It was the first speech Of a political
nature the president had made for
several months. 1t was delivered be.
fore an audience including nearly all
the members OF his cabinet, Demo
cratic members of the senate and
house, Democratic state chairmen
from many states, and other high Of
