her three-year-old son, Robert, on her
shoulder with the other, Mrs. Mary
Allen of Baltimore trudged into Eliza

Her other child, Lillian, ten years

Within two minutes after the
strange trio and their disabled baby
prairie schooner came to halt in the
local police station both babies were
asleep in the arms Of big policemen,
who know Just how to treat tired
babies.
Fifteen Days From Baltimore.
Mrs. Allen walked all the way from
Baltimore to New York, she said, and,
after failing to find half-sister, she
put the children in the carriage again
and started to Walk 10 lnulana.
The trio have been Is days on the
road, both children riding in the car
rage until Thursday afternoon, when
one wheel came off on the road be-
tween Newark and Elizabeth. Little
Robert, like man, got out and walked
until he could walk no longer and then
his mother shouldered him the rest Of
the way.
For two days the mother and two
children were in q hospital at Ruther-
ford, N. j., having been caught on the
road at night in terrific rainstorm.
The husband and father is In SAM

It's the best policy to 60 slow

measures for proper ratings. Many
get the work bee and leave school
long before they are fitted for toll.
Some get the idea that they are
never treated right at any job and
throw it up before they get to the
.roint of earning a dividend for their
employer. Still others leave home
thinking they will have full oppor-:

breakfast in an adjoining room.
After a while the whistling ceased,
and the musical gurgle of escaping
water announced that the concert was
over. It was the signal for James
Denny-the sQuare-jawed ex-batman-
to disappear into the back regions and
get from his wife the kidneys and pa
con which that most excellent woman
had grilled to a turn. But on this par
ticular morning the invariable routine
was broken. James Denny seemed
preoccupied, distrait.
Once or twice he scratched his head
and stared out Of the window with a
puzzled frown.
"What's you looking for, James Den

the door made him look round guilty..

slowly to the kitchen.

in height, he was broad in proportion.
His best friend would not have called
him good-looking, but he was the for
tunate possessor of that cheerful type
of ugliness which inspires Immediate
confidence in its owner.
He paused as he got to the table and
glanced at the rows Of letters. "Who

marked. "Great Scot! shall have to

With disapproval showing in every

the room, carrying the kidneys. and
Drummond glanced at her with a
smile.
