TOUCHED MOTHER HEART
Cries of Child. Had Effect On Wo-
man Going To Bad

Austin, February 15.-The picture
of a little seven year old girl and her
cries for the return of wayward
mother set the county sheriff's office
on trail this morning that located
the woman in less than two hours,
and this afternoon she leaves for
Waterloo with the husband she de-
serted to resume mothers duty IN
caring for her sick child.
The deserted husband entered the
Isheriff's office early this morning,
explained that he was seeking for
his wife, and presented as the only
clues to her whereabouts, two postal
cards and two letters that his wife
had written to her mother, and mail :
ed them from the train. The postal
card, however, gave the names OF
several girls in Austin, and through
these Deputy Sheriff Ira -Syck To-
Gated the woman.
She had deserted her husband a
month ago, and came to Austin with
another man. The couple were occu
pying rooms in the west side of the
city, using the name of the deserted
husband. The woman had taken her
marriage certificate with her when
she left her spouse, and used the
names AFFIXED to the license to pro-
tect her and the man with whom she
was living here. The man with whom
she was living, however, added a
DR.. Jeckyl and Mr.. Hyde touch to the
affair. He was working at the pack
ing plant, and gave his own name to
be placed on the employment rolls.
II don't ask her to go back home
to live with me-" the deserted hus
band said. But my little girl is in
the hospital and is crying for hel
mother, and my wifeS mother Is
sick too"
The wayward mother refused to
adopt a penitent attitude. The deputy
sheriff advised her to pack up her
clothes and return with her husband
With the added goad of intinlations
of what might be done to her and the
man with whom she was living, she
complied, and after fearful scene
she agreed to return with her hus
band to take care Of her daughter
and mother.
