WAR ORPHAN WILL MOURN FOR WALKER
(Continued from First Page).
the little girl,

the little girl.
 Although he had written many times, Walker never indicated how much money he was sending the child but from the tone of her replies 1t is thought that he stinted himself. Not only was he helping Maria, but also her widowed mother and young CT brother and sister. He is known to have sent clothes across the ocean to the French family and one letter was received in which Maria said her heart just "bounded" when she re- ceived a nice new winter coat from God father"
 So interested was Walker in the little fatherless child, that the couple who aided him in the writing con- tracted the enthusiasm which he had, and sent aid in the form of clothes to the same family. Walker was never personal in his letters that Is, he did not tell of himself, but asked only how she was getting along in school. and offering her many points of advice for progress in life. In his correspondence with the girl, he found philosophy which aided him to forget part of his past life by soliciting .te love and affection of a youngster far away who would ap- preciate the yearntng of an old, broken down man. While he received letters from the girl, it was not the letters themselves, but the thought of human kindness and love behind them that meant so much to the man, who formerly in public life, later had to sink back to a position of seclu- sion and loneliness. @
 Such a monument as Mir Walker leaves-the love of a fatherless child whom he had aided-is perhaps greater and more sincere than that which may be that accorded some who, in life, may have criticized harshly and failed to extend the help ing hand to the gray haired old man who, though down and out, tried. af- ter having passed the three score and ten year mark. to live down his past and make good.
