LETTER FROM MRS. JOSEPH
GRAVES HAMILTON TO
ESIIE PRESCOTT

My dear daughter:
There was Il short paragraph in
the London paper this morning to
the effect that someone had ueen
breaking into your house again. !
am very much worried. do wish
that other man could be captured.
I'm afraid something is going to
happen. would even be more COM
Portable if | thought he had the old
pearls.
Poor Karl always gets nearly be-
side himself when anything is said
about them, for he seems TO feel that
he is to blame for the whole thing re-
not only your having the pearls, but
Alice's death. was awfully sorry
he saw this paragraph in the paper.
for he had been more like himself
lately than ! have known him since
Alice's death. This news item, how
ever, has sent him back into melan-
cholia again.
Up to date we have been having
such a wonderful time. AS YOU see
by this letter. we are back in Eng
land. We came back to stay for a
couple of weeks at Betty Stokc!y' S
house party. You remember she was
poor Alices best friend. and both
Alice and Karl stayed with her be-
fore they were married. She married
one of the Carnovans, and annexed
wonderful country estate as well
as a title. Karl and l have been
staying with her for the last ten
days, and she wants us to stay until
the end of the month.
Betty's younger sister has grown
UP and is a lovely girl. She is also
Staying here.
Between us, my dear. l think the
Stokelys and the Carnovans would
! like to make match between Mary
and Karl. Karl likes her very much.
They have many tastes in common.
do wish he would fall in love with
| her, for he has been so unfortunate

"Who are you?" asked Nick,
We are the gnomes of the noun

"And people in Switzerland who
carve wooden cuckoo clocks often
put US on for ornaments. If you
wind up the clock, the cuckoo here
Will finish his song and tell you air
about it,"
"Right.o," said Tick Took, jumping
up to the pine-cone weights that
hung near the floor, and climbing up
the string that held them, he began
to work fast. He put the big key
into the keyhole on the face Of the
clock and turned it around and

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"Where to now?" asked Nick.
Tick Took, the little clock fairy,
stopped under a street lamp and
looked at little book he had taken
out Of his pocket.
"We'l have to 60 and fix the
cuckoo clock next" he said. ut be-
longs to deaf old Mister Kubler who
lives on the hill. Come on, Nancy
and Nick, follow me and we will soon
be there"
Off scampered the little fairy, fol-
lowed by the Twins. Nancy carried
and Nick carried the oil-can for oil
ing it. Tick Took carried the bel
lows with which he did the busting
and a lot, of other useful things be-
sides which he might need in his
clock mending.
In about two minutes the three
| were at the top of the hill, and
standing before a nice old house with
wide porch and big chimney.
t"Shall we 60 down the chimney
like we did at the last placer" asked
Nick.
"No, it won't be necessary" said
Tick Took. "Mister Kubler never
locks his doors. He says that the
more he trusts the world the better
it likes him. and if he has anything
that will do anyone more good than
it does him, he is welcome to take it.
"Nobody ever goes in or touches q
! thing except to do him kindness,
such as we are doing now. Come on.
The cuckoo clock hangs right in the
living ROOM"
The little >fairy jumped up to the
door knob and gave it a turn and
Nick pushed. The three were soon
inside and Tick Took lighted a glass
lamp that stood on the table.
At that instant something went
"cu4soo-cuckoo, cuck-" Then lit
stopped.

If the peg-tender achieves any
thing intellectual, the work con.
tributes nothing but money to it. Il
offers nothing Of Joy or thought.
This is the dilemma Of the induss
trial age.
Good Examples Needed in Orient
The "long tragedy of the hand
loom workers Of England" is finding
its analogy in China.
Foreign capital and management
are industralizing China.
Alongside the old hand industries,
in family and guild groups, great
factories are growing up. differing
from American and European facl
tories only in the lower wages, long
err hours and worse conditions of
the workers.
These conditions are often no
worse than in the native hand indus
tries, but they are more wholesale,
and have less excuse.
The first effect Of the same condi-
tions, in England, was to Cypress
and exploit the factory workers and,
by their competition, to starve the
hand workers.
Inc very resistance OF the "eaV-
ers to the change delayed the read
justment which. when it came, turned
out to be a benefit to all.
The same thing is starting in
China. Left to the unre stricted OPP
Grafton of economic forces, guided
only by human selfishness, the same
results will follow.
And there is no effective Chinese
government to prevent. Either peace
fully, by the penetration of modern
ideals to the capitalistic brain, or
violently. by the unexampled pow
er of resistance Of the Chinese when
aroused, the process which took
generation in England to be alb
sorbed
Men do not 60 the same slow road
the second time. The Standard Oil,
and many other foreign companies
in the orient, have seen and acted
on this principle. Some others have
not.
The safety. probability and peace
Of the opening orient depend on the
general following Of these good ex-
amples.

Heavy Contribution

Agriculture this year will make heavy contr
button to what is termed national prosperity. This
years crop yield it is estimated will bring the
farmer money income Of ten and one-half billion
dollars.
There is evident nowhere any tendency toward
imitation. Business as whole is active and in
creasing in volume. Financial experts seem agreed
that stability is fact and that business is not 60
ing to run away with itself.

COOLIDGE DECISION
ON AFRICA AWAITED
Stand of American President
of Vital Importance to
Three Nations.
By. CLAUDE o. PIKE.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BUENOS AIRES. February 5.-The
approach of March 4 brings increas-
ing interest in all South American
political circles regarding President
Coolidge's decision in the Tacna-Arica
arbitration.
The press of Buenos Aires is eagerly
awaiting the announcement of the de-
cision, but it refrains from discussing
the subject. evidently not caring at
the present moment to indicate it's
feelings or sympathies for either con-
testant. The arbitrators position is
considered difficult and deep curiosity
about his solution of the problem is
shown.
Effect of PIebiscite.
1t is generally considered that,
should the decision be made favoring
the holding of the plebiscite, it will
he a distinct victory for Chile, mas
much as for the last 40 years, the
Chileans have almost superseded the
original Peruyians inhabiting the
provinces captured at the close of the
war in the Pacific
Among the predictions of the
awards possible for the arbitrator to
make is that the disputed province be
made a mandate territory with the
recommendations that affairs be ad-
ministered for a further period of
years by representative Of some
European power. 1t is recognized
that in the event of such a decision,
any indication OF the United States
attempting a supervision Of the prov
inces would start an agitation in the
United States and also the American
republics charging further imperial
istic designs.
Another prediction is that the Cool
idge decision will divide the terri
tories between Peru, Bolivia and
Chile. assuring Bolivia a port on the
Pacific and at the same time placing
a strict embargo against the three
nations maintaining armed forces in
their respective awards.
