"Oh, Carolyn May! Is that you"

iron fence Of the areaway. He was
the janitor's son.
"Oh. Johnny! I'm real glad to see

"That is quite true. Carolyn May"
declared Miss Amanda, hugging the

"Why, IL"
Carolyn May was for once beyond
verbal expression. Besides there was
| a noise in the outer hall and on the
stairway. The door had been left
open by the surprised janitor.
A burst of voices came into the
apartment. Uncle Joe turned wonder
ingly. Miss Amanda stood up. Car
olyn May flew out of bed with shrek
that startled them both.
| "My papa! My mamma! I hear
them! They're not drownd-ed! God

It was several hours later before
a really sane thing was said or a sane
thing done in that little Harlem fiat.
'Tt's like lovely fairy story!" cried
Carolyn May. "Only it's better than a
fairy story-it's real!"
Eyes, yes, it's real, thank God r.
murmured the happy mother.
"And I'm never going away from my

kissing her for at least the tenth time.

Frank H. Probert Gives First Hand

special commission to Investigate the
damage done by the Germans during
the war to the coal and iron mines

with a first-hand story Of the almost
unbelievable atrocities Of the Huns in
the destruction and wreckage Of the
Industrial life Of France and Belgium.
So systematic and diabolical has been
this destruction in one great coal
mining region, Mr.. Probert says, that
it will take at least five years to re-
habilitate this district and It will be
twelve to fifteen years before it gets
back to normal, pre-war output. He
predicts that with the indomitable
spirit of France, in spite Of the fearful
destruction to her steel works, with
the return of Alsace and Lorraine to
the mother land. France will eventual
ly become the dominant factor In the
future steel industry Of Europe.
