Mrs. D. A. Livingston Sets
Aside Fund to Support
New Orphanage.

Abandoned children. victims of un-
fortunate circumstances and neglect,
will be given a better chance in San
Antonio. @
Early in the New Year an institu-
ton solely for the care of the little
waits which have been denied the
right to parental love, will be opened.
Mrs. ID. A. Livingston, founder OF
the Protestant Home for the Aged in
San Antonio, has made this possible
with a substantial sum she set aside
for the purpose.
SITE TO BE PICKED.
The site for the new home, Mrs.
Livingston's Christmas gift to the
orphans here, will be selected soon.
In addition to founding the home
for the aged of which she now is
president, Mrs. Livingston has been
chairman of the children's committee
of the San Antonio Child Protective
and Humane Society for the last six
teen years.
"Mrs. Livingston also is connected
with other charitable organizations, y
Miss Lucy G.. Smithers. secretary of
the society, points out.
She spends hours of her time max
ing little garments. TO clOthc the in

helps in numerous other ways. For
years Mrs. Livingston has been ac-
tive in placing abandoned children
in temporary and permanent homes.
! She has found new parents for several
hundred orphans in her life as a
charitable worker"
SUPPORT FOR HOME.
1t is pointed out that this will be
the first institution in San Antonio
where undernourished children will be
cared for. Heretofore it has been
necessary for the various charitable
organizations to place frail children
in special homes where they receive
the proper food and attention.
Mrs. Llvingston's plan is not t.
give San Antonio orphans a bomt
which the people must maintain.
On the other hand. she has pro
vided a maintenance fund which viii
support the institution for some TIM
TO come.
Final plans for the home will b.

She struggled wildly In his grasp.

could not free herself. She screamed.
The matron's voice shrieked through
the door. "Shoot him." she cried.
"Shoot him dead! Shoot him!"
Joan wrenched her arm free and
struck at the man, but he pinioned it
again.

umphantly, "and nothing under heaven
shall make me LET you CO."
Held as she was. Joan got her
fingers into her pocket. She grasped
the little revolver and pulled 1t forth.
She thrust 1t upward into the mans
face. He recoiled with an oath,
squirting at the weapon. his face con-
vulsed. And In that moment knowl-
edge came to Joan Wentworth.

cried.
AS she spoke they heard the sound
of hating footsteps on the porch. The
door swung slowly open. Joan's
hand dropped to her side. she slid the
revolver mechanically into her pocket
she tried to cry but could not.
Upon the threshold Of the door, look
ing out with wry, distorted grin on
his pale lips, was the man who had
held her. And on the threshold. look

to support himself upright, was the
John Lancaster of yesterday. And
even Joan, with all her love and hate,
could not have told the one man from
the other.
But with cry she ran to Lancas-
ter. and caught at him, and felt his
arms about her.

It seemed to Joan, long afterward,
like some dreadful picture, the sway
ing man upon the threshold, to whom
she chung, and his double within; and
then the rasping voice of Myers broke
the long silence.

The Lancaster within the door
turned his eyes from Joan to Myers !;
his passion and rage had frozen into
malevolence.

Myers acidly. II warned you to get
rid of her." Ae,>
Strangely, at that moment Joan felt
that she. in spite of her physical weak
ness, was the dominating figure IN the
play, and the controlling mind as well.
John Lancaster advanced into the
hall. His double, who had drawn
back a pace or two, stood watching
his efforts to steady himself with a
scornful smile. Joan put her hands
on her lovers arm; it seemed unbear-
able that he should display his weak
ness for them TO mock at.
But then, glancing into his face, she
saw that, weak as he was. and NOR
phine-ridden. too, it was, John Lam

and mind who had come, back. The

THAT is a lie," said Lancaster.
"You stole my name. You devil. you

added.

said Lancaster.
The double and the secretary ex-
changed ironical glances. 1t was evil

to be in the position of trapped con-
spirators.

And Joan knew that 1t was through

kept his spirit whole.

upon the secretary.

he retorted. "and it's going to be fried.

They went toward Lancaster's room.
Joan perceived now that the Doctors
weakness was purely physical one;
he dragged his limbs slightly. the
curious result Of the morphine poison
ing that she had noted before. But
he was gaining strength rapidly. and
his will had never been stronger.
This was the last battle, of which

that Mr.. Landrum represent the
