FAMILY Alive,
IS FIRST WORD
FOR SIX YEARS
Believed wife Dead. Harry kofsky
Receives Letter That She
r. Well.

Harry Kofsky's hope OF seeing
his wife and 9-year-old daughter
were revived this week when he
he received his first letter In six
wears from them. They are safe
and happy in their home in Bow
dstchy, Kiev, Russia. the letter
says.
Mr.. Kofsky conducts shoe re-
pair shop at 1900 Third avenue and
has been in this city seven years.
The last he had heard from his
family, preceding the letter this
week, was six years ago when
news Of the death OF his 3-year-oid
son was received.
Since then Mr.. Kofsky has sent
many letters to Russia. but all were
returned. His hope of seeing his
wife and child dwindled until fall
ing to receive any more he believed
them to be dead. -Four months ago
Kofsky tried again and mailed two
letters to his wife. Through the
American Red Cross in Russia the
messages were delivered to Mrs.
Kofsky at her home in the little
village in Bowditchy county.
This week he received an answer
TO them and has cabled passage Tor
his wife and child. They are ex-
pected here within two months. Mr..
Kofsky has furnished a home and
has put things in readiness to greet
his family.
Twice Lost Fortune.
The story of Mr.. Kofsky's exper-
fences in Europe and this country
are interesting AS a merchant in
the wholesale shoemaking business,
Mr.. Kofsky was one of the most
PROSPEROUS men in Bowditchy.
However, because of religious be-
liefs he was unable TO conduct his
business any longer, and taking his
earnings to the larger city OF Kiev,
Mr.. Kofsky started again in bust
ness. only to lose his entire for
tune.
He started for America and Gal
weston, Texas. eight years ago.
After few months he moved to
Iowa City and later to Davenport.
He came to Rock Island seven
years ago, and with SIS in his
pocket started in the shoe repair
business at his present address.
He has since been there and has
made splendid progress.

life with an overbearing aunt until
her 18th birthday, when she makes
a break and goes to the city to visit
an old friend of her dead mothers
At least she starts for the city
home of Mrs. Brewster, but through
a plausible combination OF circum :
stances, she really arrives at quite
another place.
There is a Iikeable young man
played by Frank Kingsley. He
meets the girl early in the story,
and becomes her champion from
that moment. 1t is typical, how
ever, that when he goes back to the
reformatory-yes, that's where she
landed-to assure her that he will
get her released, she borrows mis-
car and, with three other girls,
makes her own escape right then
She has more adveRtures, how
ever. before she finally disposes Of
Aunt Emma's claim to her for
tune, and secures it to herself
and her prospective husband.
