9O-CHILDREN OF GIDEON:
By'Sir Walter Besdnt.
fTbe New YrF Fvenins WoTidJ

Lady Mildred Eldridge was an &C.
centric and rich widow with one baby
daughter Beatrice.
Beatrice was her mothers sole
heiress, and was destined to vast
wealth aud high social position. Her
mother feared these prospects might
spoil the child's nature. And she
sought for a way to prevent It.
The problem found a queer solu-
ton when Beatrice was barely two
years old. At that time Lady Mildred
adopted another little girl, the same
age as her own daughter.
The adopted child was Polly honu-
ment, daughter of a former servant
of Lady Mildred's.
The eccentric widow brought up tbs
two girls as sisters, not telling either
OF them which one was Beatrice, the
heiress, and which one was Polly, the
servants child.
She called them 'rViolet'' and Val
entine." and treated them Just alike.
giving each of them all possible ad-
vantages. And thus the two grew
into beautiful young womanhOod.
Meantime Lady Mildred had edu-
Gated Polly's brother, Claude, ana
The young man was not ashamed OF
his humble origin, but continued to
live with his numerous family OF dap
workers, brothers and sisters.
When the two girls were twenty
years old, Lady Mildred took them
both to call on Polly's family In ~
humble and crowded home they So
occupied.
Violet shrank with horror from
meeting the family. She troubled lest
she herself should happen to be the
sister of those dreadful people" As
she called them.
But Valentine took quite another
view OF the matter. II she ware,
Polly then her place was with her
own family. She said so to LADY
Mildred. And she asked leave to live
with them for a while.
Lady Mildred consented. And VAL
entine took up her abode in the
crowded home, so different from her
own lifelong surroundings. She set
about making the family happy ana
comfortable and sharing their work
and adapting herself to their life.
In this way she and Claude were
thrown much into each others So
ciety. And they grew to appreciate
each others splendid qualities.
Then Valentine stumbled upon 0vi-
dence which proved she waB not
Polly, but Beatrice. Yet she stayed
on for months longer with Polly's
family, still helping them and seeing
more and more of Claude.
In course of time she and Claude
fell overwhelmingly in love with each
other. And, with Lady Mildred's
final consent, they were married.
The heiress and the man of the
people were ideally happy in their
welded life, both being wise enough
to realize that mere rank and wealth
were no obstacles against such low
as theirs.

cent. Is paid down, with fifteen years
to pay the balance. OF course the
taxes and repairs would have to be
paid for by the people buying the
houses. Even at that It would not
cost much over $40 or $35 a month
paying on on the house and the taxes,
also the repairs.
Owing to the housing question in

corporation or body of men would
lose anything on 1t, as the money in
vested would be returned to them at
the end OF fifteen years With interest
If The Evening World knows or
hears Of a corporation who would un-
dertake the plan of the Chicago peo-
pie am pretty sure / should be ono
of the first to try and secure a homo
of my own.
Owing to tho high price OF houses
to-day people OF the wording class
are unable to buy their own home,
but II such an enterprise Is started II
would without a doubt help more
people to own their own homes.

To ths Editor Of The Evening World:
In The Evening World I note with
interest the solution OF housing prob
lens in Chicago. I also read that
considerable rumpuS 10 being raised
as to the bonuS-
II our grateful" country could only
look into the future, could only study
more fully our unprepared post. and
would only emulate the example OF
Chicago. both the housing and soldier
bonus problems would be solved
Here Is my suggestion: Let ehe
local governments supply land. Let
local committees work In conjunction
with Federal and State committees
and build homes for tho ex-servtce
mon. Let the cash advance be ehmi-
mated and allow them easy payments
in proportion to their salaries.
With this instituted, the grateful"
Government viii have q reserve force
OF contented and loyal fighters to fall
back on, for they will have that pride
and feeling OF protecting their own
homes"
