MOTHER COMING BACK
Five Children Gratifed To Find That Material Parent Is To Be Re- stored To Them.

New York, Sept. a. Tive chill dren learned today that their mother is to be restored to them a week from Tuesday after an eight months separation, through the efforts of Captain J. C. Wettengell. in com mand of the battleship Texas.
 Last January. Mrs. Lena Dantes, with her children, arrived to join her husband, who had emigrated from Germany some time previous. She was deported by the imrnigra- ton authorities when it was dis covered she had been born on a ship in Belgian port and must therefore be classed as a native of Belgium, whose quota was exhaust cd. As the German quota was not filled, the children were permitted to enter the country.
 After Mrs. Dantes had pleaded un- successfully for months with the American consulate at Bremen, Captain Wettengell heard of her plight through her brother, pilot at Antwerp, and took the matter up with the American consul in that city. who communicated with his as- sociate at Bremen. The result was the good news received by the younger Dantes today.

We heard Mr. Gooly howling," Raggedy Andy laughed as he hand ed Raggedy Ann his hat filled with cheese nibbles from the bushes. But we did not know you had fooled him and put the snoring machine on his long nose"
 "I guess Mr, Gooly was surprised tool" RaggcIy Ann replied. He will have to wear the snoring ma chine upon his nose until it runs down, l guess"
 Did you see where he hid the key to the wood shed Raggedy Ann?' Walter asked. For if we could unlock the wood shed door, we could rescue the wood duck and he would fly away with us and we could soon find my mama and daddy"
 T am sorry" Raggedy Ann re- piled. T did not see where Mir. Gooly put the key, but maybe, when he gets the snoring machine off his nose, we will discover where he hid it! While l was a prisoner in MT. Gooly's house l heard him talking over the telephone with Mir. Sanky and he promised to take Walter to Mir Sanky's as soon as he captured him"
 "Aha'' Raggcdy Andy cried as he jumped to his feet. q have an ideal"
 Then you must tell us, Raggedy Andy" Raggedy Ann said.
 Let us cut the telephone Vtres and talk over them so that MT, Gooly will think it is Mir. Sanky talking, then We will ask Mir. Gooly o run over 10 Mr. Sanky's right away Then We will rescue the wood duck boat and all fly away from | nere!"
 That's fine idea. Raggedy Andy" Raggedy Ann cried as she patted Rsggedy Andy's head. Let us hurry"
 So the Raggedys and Walter went to a place where the telephone wires hung low and Raggedy Andy snip ped them with his knife.
 Now be real quiet!" Raggedy | Andy said. "I can hear Mir. Gooly coming to answer the phope," After awhile Raggedy Andy asked, ''ls this Mr. Gooly? Well. Mr. Gooly, I want 10 tell you that Rsggedy Ann, Rag gedy Andy and Walter are right here! So run over just as soon as you can get here!"
 All right, Mr. Sanky! will hop ! in my new duck boat and be right over!" Mr. Gooly answered, think

CHAPTER XI.
Roosevelt at Naiyasha

Kermit was the first to arrive at Nailasha. He had ridden some twenty odd miles round the north eastern shores Of the lake, and ar rived at the Rift NalleN hotel just in time for luncheon. The remain der of the party would follow him in next day.
 After dinner that night, I offered to initiate Kermit into the mysteries of a new kind of sport. He, as al- ways, was eager to try out any novel excitement; and he gladly accepted my invitation.
 "Tn bite, Foran," he laughed.
 What is it""
 Spring haas shooting by lamp light. You'll love it."
 And he did.
 It was very dark night, and thick clouds hid even the stars from view. There was no moon until the early hours of the morning. and so conditions were ideal. Spring haas shooting hassits humors. The gen erally accepted method of procedure is for the hunter to go out with a shotgun, and with a bicycle lamp attached to his belt.
 The spring-haas are attracted by the light, come out of their burrows and stand looking at the light as If mesmerized by it, Then the hunter aims at them, with only their bright eyes in the darkness to guide him where to shoot to kill
 The spring haas are curious little beasts-more like a miniature edi- ton of the Australian kangaroo than hare. They arc heavy for their size, and are burrowers. Their habits are strictly nocturnal and they progress in long bounds exact. ly like kangaroos: and they are vegetarian in dict.
 Kermit soon found the sport very much to his taste. and he fairly reyeled it it. However, he found it no easy thing to knock them over for one generally can see only one of their eyes at time-and the target is by no means & good one.
 Alter shooting a couple ot them someone in the party suggested--it may have been Kermit. but l am not sure--that we should try to catcf some in a net. We found an old tennis net at the hotel, and a mum. Der of the settlers, who were stay. ing at the hosteIry after a cattle sale held that day. joined US in our new sport.
 Nearly all Of us had nasty spills owing to having put our foot ihad. vertently into spring haas hole,

for we feared he might have lost his way and the luncheon hour was close at hand. We found him not far off, bringing in two fine Egyp- ton geese he had killed on the wing.
 That night we all took dinner al the Rift Valley Hotel, and during the meal Colonel Roosevelt ex- pressed his keen desire to shoot 8 good pelican for the museum.
 If you will come out with me to- morrow morning early. Colonel" rather rashly promised, "I feel con. fdent that I can put you within shooting range of at least four oi , them"
 That's very good of you, Foran, he exclaimed, joyfully. "Ill bt ready for you at 6 o'clock"
 So I rose with the sun, and went down from the hotel to the camp ir order to meet Colonel RooseveltSand fulfill my promise of the previous night.
 I found him already up and dressed. writing in his diary in his tent. We started off at once for the landing stage where private sail ing boat was generally moored without saying anything to Colonel Roosevelt, or to the owner of the boat, I had intended to commandeer this vessel for our shooting trip on the lake.
 To my chagrin, however, the owner had gone for a sail to Cres- cent Island, in the center Of tho lake; but he had left behind him a row-boat and punt.
 The roW-bost was moored to a pole at 8. distance of about hun dred yards from the shore. but the lake was shallow so I waded out tc it. There was only one oar and q bamboo pole in the boat; but VIC started forth. with myself polling the boat as one would punt. ''
 As good luck would have it could see the four pelicans swim ming about aimlessly about a auar' ter of a mile away from us. l had seen them at the same spot two mornings previously, and hence m, promise to Roosevelt. s...-
 We started off early enough; but had not bargained for the difficult ties which now presented themselves It was no easy task to pole tha heavy row-boat through the thicl reeds, which clung tenaciously abou the boats bow. Roosevelt came t' my help. using the single oar ai best he could. Befort we could ge within fair range of the pelicans they took frightand flew away. w decided to return and have break fast, as there seemed no possible hope Of getting near enough to th, pelicans to shoot at them; and th' difficulties Of propelling that boa were beyond our powers.

but these mishaps did not damI our spirits or the ardor of the chase After we had toiled for some tint unnecessarily at this new form oi sport, we decided that shooting them as we had first attempted was in' finitely preferable. But while the rest of the party returned to bed al the hotel, Kermit and two others continued to hunt with his shot gun In the fifteen minutes, he had man. aged to shoot three exceptionally good specimens,
 By Jove." exclaimed Kermit, be- fore we retired to bed about o'clock in the morning, that's bully good fun"
 It had been arranged that Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit, Dawson and myself should ride out that same day to the government expert mental farm to inspect the wonder ful stock breeding that was being carried on there.
 Shortly after. midday Colonel Roosevelt rode off by himself earlier than the rest of us, intending to do some bird shooting on the way to the farm; The government farm was situated on the Morendat river and was about five miles outside of Naivasha. |
 On arrival at Hills house, we found that Colonel Roosevelt had not yet ridden in, and so Kermit and myself rode off to try and find him;

 am very much discouraged, Ruth dear. I seem 10 be confronted with all sorts of problems that as far as I can see have no possible solution. Is this because I am a woman of less decision of character and strength of mind than most, or are they the ordinary daily problems that everyone has to work out? l know you, my dear, have had many in your life, and you have sur mounted them splendidly. Indeed, you have proved bulwark upon which l have built strength Of character for myself,
 First and foremost, Ruth, 1 must tell you that I am much woETied over my baby's coming. The event which should make me the happiest of women fills me with worry and doubt, which is particularly acute since I have told John. l know that John loves children. I know he will be glad to have me have more than one; but the first thing he said to me, as everyone else has said whom I have told of my expected mother hood was: I hope it will be a girl,
 Of course, I suppose that is what they would have said to any pros pective mother who already had a boy, as I have. But you can see 1t is different in my case, and every time l hear those words, whether they are spoken unthinkingly of the circumstances Of my adoption of little Jack, or whether, like John and my own dear mother, they have a feeling that I shall come 10 wish my dear little adopted child out of the way of my own sons birthright, it always stabs my heart.
 I try to quiet my fears by quot ing to myself the words of my mothers old laundress, who was talking to me one day of child she had adopted, whom she said she gave exactly the same love and thought she gave to her other four ] I4lllultIf W Llb W tl t~sIl dAllblluS a d5pu' her knees. l asked her if she felt any difference between them, and she answered:

 Little Jack has given his whole kloyal baby heart to me. He is like q frolicsome puppy dog who has nc eyes or ears but for the one to whom he has attached himself when that person is near.

MY HUSBANDS
  REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

, There was a silken suavity in the tone which was more deadly than his roughness. No, l guess I'll whisper it. No, I won't touch you. I'll even put my hands behind me.
 An Unexpected Presence
 He stepped close to her, bent his head to hers and whispered some thing that made her recoil from him with tortured moan.
 "There!" he said trlumphantIy. Do I hold four accs?"
 She beat her hands futilely against the air.
 "Oh! please go, go!" she cried. "I'l do everything you wish But I cant get away from here for two days. Day after tomorrow at five o'clock in the afternoon come to Mrs. Marks I'll have everything there. But 20 away now-now!"
 He stepped back, raised his hat and made her a mocking bow.
 With the greatest of pleasure, ," he gibed and kept his word by turning and stridine back toward his waiting car. Mol!ie Fawcett, swaying, stumbling, retraced her steps along the road she had come, and through the barrier of bushes came the sound of choking pitiful little moans. !
 uTaift,,u II1 yt-a she could not hear us, Katherine and I started after her, when a low voice from the bushes beside us said cautiously:
 Don't scream, girls. It's Lil,'' and a second later Mrs. Underwood whom I had supposed to be in New York, stepped out of the bushes.
 She wasted no time in greetings but gave us our instructions tense ly.
 T haven't a second to spare Don't let that girl give you the slir again if you have to tie her up. IT be back for her, I'm sure, before the time she has set, but if I'm not. don't let her go. I've got the last link of the chain at last"
 She turned. and hurried away or cross-feld path which I know would bring her out on the side road. Katherine and I did not speak for several minutes after we had started on our homeward trudge, but just before we turned in at the farmyard gate-througf which We had seen Mollie Fawcet' go but minute before-Katherine said hesitantly:
 i"Didn't it sound to you as though Lii suspects Mollie of being in col fusion with those fur thieves?"
 'Yes, it does" I answered, and then something outside my owr volltion made me add. But I don't believe she is"

 AS soon as Mr. Gooty horped from the ducli boat, inc duck boat sailed up in the air above Mir. Goolys head. Now then, l have escaped from you." the duck boat said. And I shall sail away and hunt Raggedy Andy and belong To her."
 "Ha, ha, hal" Mir. Gooly laughed. You will not find Rsggedy Ann, for she is shut up in Mir. Sanky's house here, and shall see that she does not escape."

Letter from Leslie Prescott to Ruth
 Burke.
 Dear Ruth: I am enclosing Miss Anderson's letter to me. You can imagine my furious anger when l read it. What will that old woman not think of next when she is aided and abetted by Priscilla Bradford! It is no wonder 10 me that poor women were burned after being ac- cused of being witches in the Salem days, with such gossipy and scandal loving old maids and women always looking into their affairs and putting their own interpretation upon them.
 Of course, my first reaction was to take the letter 10 Jack; then l remembered that l was angry at him and had said I would not for give him until he had made me the abject apology which I think I de- serve. That is the reason, my dear, I sent you the telegram, and why am writing this explanatory letter.
 Of course, I know I am getting you very much disliked by my mother-in-law but l know you don't

What Mfadge and Katherine Found
 Out About Mollie

Despite the stress of the moment was irresistibly reminded of the Indian stories in which l used to revel as Katherine and I single file hurried down the dark road after Mollie Fawcetts fleeing fig ure.
 Treading in the dust our foot steps were as noiseless as hers, and ,>1lfhough We did not much fear her looking around--she was evidently In too deperate hurry for any delay l followed Katherine's suggestion to remain close in the shadow of the bushes. Thus VIC would be screened from the sight of whenever she was hurrying to meet, for that she was hastening to some rendezvous was plain.
 We reached the crossroads a quarter-mile from the farm, how ever, before she halted. We were so close behind her that We heard the frightened, fttful gasp she gave as she abruptly stopped and waited while stocky but powerful mascu- tline figure stepped from the shadow of tree and came toward her. Farther down the road l caught the dim outlines of big car, and knew by what means the stranger had come to meet the girl who was so plainly terrified at his advance.
 With infinite caution Katherine and I withdrew into the bushes. A few feet from us there was an opening in the fence enclosing a field next to the farm. Getting through that we were enabled to establish ourselves exactly opposite Mollie, but thoroughly screened from her by thicket of brambles.
 Across the road swung the fig ure of the man, and back against the bushes shrank the body of ter rified Mollie Fawcett. My hands cenched into fists in the sudden impulse to protect her, but he stopped when he was within two feet of her, and said roughly:
 Suppose I Rcfuse?"
 Well, you little devil! So you thought you'd better come to meet Papa after all? You realize, don't you, that you cant dodge me, nc matter where you go? But I'll ad' init you gave me whale of a chase, just the same. If I hadn't had a tip, but never mind that the question is now when are you going to come to terms?"
 What terms?" Mollie faltered woefully.
 What terms?" he repeated with an ircnical little laugh. "As If you didn't know. Miss Innocence, but I'll tell you again. My terms You're to stop this shilly-shallyini and putting me off, and tell m' just what day you're going to keeI the promises you've made me-twt of 'en1, remember. And it's got tt be a day this week, too, I'm not going to wait minute longer"
 "This-week!!" The words were hardly more than a terrified breath
 "Yes, this week." he mocked "Cheer up! When it's once done you'll feel better. Just think O the reward you'll get"
 But suppose I refuse?" He, voice had the strength of despera tion.
 Shall I tell you why you won't?'

ON HEAITH--- CELLAR CLEANING TIME

With fall days approaching. the Mann family gave thought to putting up fruit for the winter" and getting the cellar in shape.
 It was surprising how much junk had gathered during the summer; boxes in which vegetables had been placed; odds and ends left by the youngsters, all sort of things"
 Everybody should give a thought to the cellar at least twice year. Boxes that may have contained de- cayed vegetables should be cleaned

 Remember air from the cellar permeatcs the house and be careful that no refuse gathers to poison this air. Give the cellar a weekly insIAction to make certain no de- cayed matter or dirty refuse has gathered.
 Get the coal bins cleaned out now that tho furnace is not in use. Be certain that the furnace pipes are cleaned out before winter sets in.
