child herself denied that he was her
father, telling me that he had seen
her at Wright's Ferry, and had there
spoken very roughly to her, and
thought to claim her as his daughter
who had been taken by the Indians
when they lived 'up-country,' not as he
afterwards stated, 'in Maryland We
went before Justice of the Peace,
who being unjustly at enmity with the
Friends, and myself in particular-it
matters not wherefore-gave judg

did roughly take her from me, bound
her upon his wagon and took her to his
tavern in this place, where, as have
just learned, he hath not treated her
as a beloved child, but as a common
servant, and that with great brutality.
l trust that his wickedness is now
apparent unto thee, and that thou wilt
exercise thy authority in accordance
with truth and Justice"
There was a murmur of applause,
but the Justice held up his hand for
silence as he said, 81 shall certainly
do so, Friend Williamson. The evi-
dence given by the eminently reliable
witnesses who have testified is suffi-
cient to decide the matter, but we will
yet hear the child herself"
Going to her he said, marie, take
this book-it is the Bible, my child

the truth, and nothing but the truth,

"Now, my child, tell US truly, which
of these two men is your father?"
"TMs one" said Marie, smiling, as
she took Mr.. Schmidt's hand and pat

who there gave her temporary home
as Marie Schmidt. Her parents for
merly lived in Pennsylvania, in the
Conewago district, were then and still
are connected with our Church, and
are well known to us, and l know
that Brother Schmidt would not claim
Marie as his daughter if it were not
the case.
Mr.. Richter testified that he rec
ognized Marie as the daughter of his
former parishioner, Brother Schmidt,
who had been taken captive by the In
dians while he was the pastor of the
Moravian congregation on the Mono
cacy, in Maryland.
At this point there was stir among
the crowd in the Office and all looked
at tall man in the costume of a
Friend, who advanced towards the
seats occupied by Marie and her pa
rents. No sooner had Marie seen him
than she ran to him with a smiling
face and throwing her arm around him
said, "Oh, Friend Williamson, I'm so
glad you have come!'
"I have been looking for theee a
long time, Marie, but could not hear
aught of thee until this day, and am
glad if can help thee in any way"
"Oh yes, thee can; Pm sure thee
can," said Marie joyfully; adopting
the Friends idiom as she had learned
to do while in his house.
There was perfect silence and strain
ed attention in the Office as Marie qui-
etly told her parents that this was the
kind friend with whom she had lived
in Philadelphia, from whom that man,
Brocker, had taken her.
The Justice, who was evidently deep
ly moved, as were many of those pres
ent, requested Mr.. Williamson, whom
he knew as a prominent citizen of
Philadelphia, to tell the court what he
knew with regard to the case before
them, which he briefly stated to him.
81 will gladly tell thee what l know,
that justice may be done to this child
and her parents, whom l rejoice to see
she hath found" said Mr.. Williamson.
"Marie lived in my house for some
time, and approved herself as good
and truthful child. I had been glad
to assist her when the Indians brought
her to Philadelphia, and would gladly
have kept and treated her as mine own

How Better Than Pills?

The question has been asked-In
what way are Chamberlain's Tablets
superior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is they are
easier and more pleasant to take and
their effect is so gentle that one hardly
realizes that it is produced by a med
icine. Then, they not only move the

IN BUILDING
Only Six Cities Throughout
United States Ahead,
Figures Show.

Although indianapolis Is the twenty
second city In the Nation In population
rank, only six cities issued more build
ing permits in April and only ten issued
permits for building valued at more than
that undertaken in this city last month,
the monthly National building survey OF
the American Contractor, building trade
journal, shows today.
The April number of permits issued
was a new high record for Indianap polls
and the valuation was within S1oe.000 of
the record. There were 1,G92 permits
Issued. for building valued at s., ,566. .3So.
More than half Of the valuation rep
resents residences or apartment build
ings, indicating that Indianapolis, the
city Of homes. Is among the leading cities
Of the country in the movement to solve
the housing shortage.
The only cities which issued more per-
mits than this IN April were Los Angeles,
S,9s3; Baltimore, 1885; Detroit, 2.340;
Greater New York, 1882: Philadelphia,
o,032 and Milwaukee, 3,24S
Those which exceed Indianapolis in
valuation: Los Angeles. Washington, d.
c.. Boston, Minneapolis, New York.
Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia and
Milwaukee.
The Indianapolis figures showed a
gain of 81 per cent over April. 1921,
when 1,063 permits, valued at 81 .527, ,674,
were issued. Last month showed a sub
stantial increase over March.
In New York City In March there
were so, ,59S.54S worth of permits Is
sued, as compared with $50, ,778 ATS In
April. The trade Journals survey says
this drop unauestionabiy was due to
the expiration of the tax exemption law,
and draws a moral that law affects busi-
ness and building thercfrom.

Notice on the part of the police de-
partment that 1t intends to enforce the
automobile toll light law as 1t under

issued by the Secretary of State and the
contention on the part of attorneys aud
others that the regulations set out by the
State official should be enforced has led
to a controversy of considerable proper

will be sought.
The State law provides merely that all
automobiles must be equipped with
lights. Under this provision the police
have been arresting all motorists whose
cars regardless of where they are parked
have not had tail lights burning.
On the other hand, the regulations Of
the secretary OF State provide that in
cases where a street is Illuminated suf-
ficiently that car may be seen 500 feet
tail light Is not necessary. 1t was
pointed out that this would mean q tail
light Is not necessary on most Indian
apois streets.
