to adopt a child.
She went to the city and through
the state board of charities made an
appointment to VISIT their nursery.
But on her way she passed found
ling hospital and saw some children
in tiny garden with pals and
shovels.
"It's one Of the strangest cases
we've ever had" the superintendent
told her. '.He was found in the porch
one day at noon But he does not
seem to be a child VINO was neglected.
At night he cries for his mother over
and over again"
Her credentials were scrutinized
and approved and she was able to
take the child home with her
we call him Jimmie they told
her.
1t was bleak day in February.
Jimmie was playing on the floor with
red paper and paste, making valen-
tines for his adopted mother and all
his new friends.
81 have one ready for mamma, too"
he said with wistfui expression, and
Dora drew back Sharply and then
smiled at him.
She picked up the newspaper.
There We're the usual columns Of ex-
citing news. and long account of
mothers search tor ner child. "He
| answers to the name of Cyril" she
| read. sounds little like lost dog"
she thought, but was startled by what
she rel d. There was perfect de-
scription of Jimmie and trembling she
looked down at the cnild making val
entines.
"Cyril." she said very softly, and
lifting up his great brown eyes. he
smiled radiantly.
"Dat. my name. pat what mamma
| call ME :" She lifted aim up and held
him close. as the tears fell, for as the
small boy squirmed TO be released she
knew she had no right to him.
The next day Dora took the sleigh
and went into the village. sending
telegram TO the city. That afternoon
| she and Cyril left on the train.
1t was morning when she took Cyril
to his dingy but real home far down
| town near the river
And then she heard the story II
had two children myself" said Dora.
"and know how You feel. They're
both dead, and Jimmie mean Cyril
seemed to fit right In. but at bed
| time he always cried ror you. He new
er forgot YOU
His mother held MIN close and
stroked his hair.
Don't leave Sirwlll" he begged.
] The country. the garden. the home,
the cradle songs Dora mad sung when
she rocked him TO sleep at night when
he cried for his "mamma"-all these
must be forgotten, or possibly remem-
bered only as part or happy dream.
Here was the mystery OF birth, the
close relationship between mother and
child solved in an instant.

bling, put in boiler of cold soapy water
and boil five minutes. Boiling helps
to sterilize and whiten the clothes.
Rinse until no dirt or soap comes out
into the water. Use warm water in
the first rinsing so the soap will not
harden.
If clothes are dried In open air and
sunshine. bluing should not usually
be necessary: but If white clothes have
become very yellow or if they must
be dried indoors, bluing may be used
in the final water. 1t is better to make
dark bluing water and then add
enough to the final rinsing water to
bring the desired shade Stir well.
Use less bluing for fine, soft materials
and linens and more for coarse thick
materials. Some bluings contain a
compound Of iron which viii cause
rust spots If it comes in contact with
soap. Therefore 1t is necessary to
rinse out all soap before bluing.
The rolls of the wringer should be
set tight for cotton materials and
loose for linen, or linen can be

YOUNG WOMAN
SUSPECTED OF MURDER

New York, July 16.-An unidenti-
fled well dressed man, who was
found with five gunshot wounds in
his body here early today, died as
he was being rushed to a hospital
for treatement Miss Liretta Leroy,
who took the man to hospital in her
limousine, told the police she found
him in a dying condition and had
him placed in her car by her chaffeur
Wilson Jackson, and an Italian, Pas
quale Dinare.
After the slain man was taken
into the hospital revolver was
found in Miss Leroy's automobile
and she and her two companions
were held by the police.
Belief was expressed by the police
however, that the victim was shot by
a shotgun, because of the size of the
wounds. Two shotguns were later
found by the police in, the basement
of the house in front of which the
man was picked up, and one of the
weapons gave evidence of having
been just discharged and reloaded.

IN WET COLUMN

Newark, N. j., July 16.-Samuel
Wilson, assistant secretary of the
Anti Saloon League, of New Jersey,
in statement forwarded today to
State Attorney General McCran,
State Circuit Justice Swayze, county
Judges and prosecutors, charged that
"a tacit agreement exists between
county authorities and saloons and
trackmen to keep New Jersey wet.
Mr.. Wilson asserted that the VOL
stead act was openly violated in Es-
sex, Pasiac, Union, Atlantic and
Hudson counties, where, he declared
"there is conspiracy to foster the
liquor traffic.'& He said he had fur
nished federal authorities with names
of cafes and saloon keepers from
whom he had obtained liquor.
There is no CONSCIOUS effort being
made to enforce the Volstead act"
he added, "due to the desire of poll
ticians to obtain big campaign funds
from liquor and gambling interests" !"
