HARDING HELPED LIFT WILSON TO CARRIAGE M 1921
Lamented Presidents Con- sideration For Predecessor
 Won Applause Of Many

WASHINGTON, August S. By As sociated Press.) )-EXactly % months ago Warren G. Harding actually helped lift Woodrow Wilson down the steps of the White House portico and into the carriage which took both to the inaugural ceremonies at the capitol. which made one Presi- dent Harding and the other Mir. Will son.
 No one of the thousands who saw the robust figure beside the waXen, drawn and stopping man beside him ever dreamed that the latter would be living to w1ite a message of con- dolence on the death of the former; that the fate which molds mems lives would bring a fair measure of returning health to one and eXha aus tion ana death to the other.
 Won Applause of Crowds.
 Mir. Harding's gentle consideration of his stricken predecessor on that notable day excited the admiration of the thousands who saw it and won the warm respect of Mir. Wilson him selw. When the crowd along Pennsyl- vania avenue cheered, applaudlng the healthy and robust incoming Presi- dent he silenced them with a depre- eating gesture, signifylng consider ation and sympathy for the stricken, almost pathetic, figure beside him. At the capitol during the inaugural ceremonies his considerate attention to the outgoing President was most marked and it did not stop there it took practical form. Here follows a bit of hitherto unpublished history
 Rear Admiral Gary T. Grayson had been President Wilson's physicia n eight years. as he had been physicia n ! 10 Presidents Taft and Roosevelt be- fore him. He knew MT. Wilson's case as probably no other physician could. and as time developed snatched him from the grave.
 Ordered GrRyson to Duty.
 Mir. Harding brought pr. Sawyer, his own physician of years acqualn- tance who knew equally well the complicated and long standing Hines of Mrs. Harding. Dr. Grayson's 's White House detail ended and he was subject to assignment elsewhere. But without a request or suEges ton of anybody and without any one knowing of if. President Harding personally gave an order to the navy department that Dr. Grayson was to be assigned to duty in Washington, where his services would be available to Mir. Wilson and that in no circUm - stances was he 10 be ordered else where without the Presidents con sent.
 Woodrow Wilson probably will get his first knowledge of Mir. Harding s action if he reads this dispa tch.

agreement, it caused Philip the
keenest resentment to see the man
handling and rummaging about
Joan's belongings. There was no
help for it. Every moment Philip
became more strongly convinced
that the whole case must fall to
the ground, and that within an
hour or two.
That Joan could have been
guilty of either theft or murder
was so monstrous that even the
possibility of it never for a mo-
ment entered Philips mind. His
judgment refused utterly to enter
tain it. A long experience had
taught him how dark circumstan-
tial evidence can look at first
sight, and what strange freaks
Fate can play upon the innocent.
A court of law clears such things
up infallibly. His only concern
was the pain and anxiety that
Joan was suffering. BY this
morning, probably even within an
hour or two, she would be free.

Philip had been sent West by
