 Do you know anything more about my son his death 1. than Miss Lawrence knows?" he ask ed.

 "She came to me this morning with information that I hope will lead to the arrest and conviction of the man who murdered Harold" ]" Mir. Judson told him. Oerndorf sat forward on the edge of his chair. Mir. Judson caught his exclamation Of surprise.
 "I hadn't time to tell you all this when J asked you to bring Mir. Armitage here" he said to his law yer. Before that the police had ask ed me to say nothing to anyone about their belief that my son had been murdered.
 Mildred" Stephen mumbled. It seemed unbelievable to him now that he hadn't seen her hand in this.
 MT. Judson turned to him sharply. '1 must confess l thought she had heard in some manner of the re- ward intended offering as soon as the police would permit me to make it public" he said and watched Ste- phen closely.
 That young man evinced an in- stant indignation. 'I suppose you still believe that she deserved to be fired" he said scornfully.
 MT. Judson shook his head. "No," he said; 'I know I was misinform- ed about her interest in Harold"

 But you owe her undying grati- tude for getting you out of iail," MT. Judson went on. his voice ting ed with contempt.
 He was certain now that Stephen was not in love with his daughter. lie might. or might not. be in love with Mildred Lawrence. At least he was ready to defend her at a mo- ment's notice.-
 Stephen nodded. 'I never even guessed shed been to see you" he said. T thought. ." Here he stopped. He couldn't tell Pamela's father that she had led him to be- lieve it was her love and belief in him that had brought about his re- lease.
 Perhaps you'd better go over the facts as you know them," Mir. Jud- son suggested to him. Miss Law renee may inadvertently, have omit ted something of imporarloe."

Stephen was the innocent victim of man who had plotted his own sons ruin.
 So thorouhly did he believe Mil dred's story of Huck's intention to marry Pamela that he did not doubt stephen had been purposely put in a position that would dispose of him as a rival to Huck. Mir. Judson thought of Mildred now and a determied expression set tied upon his face. It had been easy to guess her se- cret. She loved this young beggar Her last word, when he'd left her at the hospital a short while ago. was a plea to warn stephen of the danger she believed he was in.
 You must meet dad" Pamela cried, suddenly drawing away from Stephen and turning toward her father. She saw, and misunderst ood, her fathers forbidding frown.
 Quickly she ran to him and put an arm on his shoulders.
 'Stephen will be new son 10 you. daddy" she whispered.
 Mir. Judson looked up at her un- smilingly, and then turned his glance upon stephen. There was no friendliness no warmth in it and Stehen knew it. | But he had no time 10 concern himself with MT. Judsons personal thoughts of him. He stepped forward and held out his hand as the older man rose to meet him.
 You're a bit later than we eX- pected you to be-" Mr. Judson said after the introduction. No trouble, l hope" stephen glanced at Pamela.
 I'd like to talk to your father alone, Pamela" he said
 She went at once into an appeal ing pout.
 "Please go. Pam. dear" her father requested Pamela came up to stephen again and put her hands on his arms. You won't be a minute longer than necessary" she begged. i've so many things to talk to you about, Stephen darling. Things you never dreamed of"
 '1'll be brief" stephen promised.
 Pamela nodded to Mir. Oerndorf and left them.
 Sit down." Mr. Judson invited and reseated himself at his desk. You do not object" Stephen said. ito having your lawyer hear any thing l may have to say""

 Hes the man Mir. Judson will give his right arm to find after I've told him what I know" stephen de- clared. Come on, let's go.'
 Oerndorf gave the driver orders to proceed to the hotel.
 Go after your man." stephen said to Frean. and the latter stepped off the running board of the car where he had stood talking through the window.
 On the way to the Judson hotel Oerndorf tried to question stephen until Stephen told him firmly that he had nothing more to say until he had seen Mir .Judson.
 At the hotel Stephen was asked to go at once to the owners office. He opened the door and strode in briskly, his mind filled with what he was going to say about his theory that Huck Connor had murdered Judson's son.
 Oerndorf followed less precipitate- ly, but it was he who first saw that Mr. Judson was not alone to receive them.
 Stephen was totally unprepared for the rush with which Pamela came to throw herself into his arms and welcome" him back. She had com mpletely slipped his mind since he'd left the jail.
 Oerndorf walked over and looked out window but Mr. Judson did not take his eyes from Stephen. He saw the young man hesitate as though confused. saw his arms remain at his side while Pamela pulled his head down and kissed him over and over again upon his lips.
 Finally Stephen put one arm around her in an uncertain way that revealed more to Mr. Judson than stephen himself was aware of. Until that moment Pamela's father had not permitted himself to form an opinion of this young man 1 his daughter was to marry. To him

"The owner allows his car to be stolen; then it's abandoned and he gets it back with no respon- sibility for anything that happens after he reports that it's out of his possession. But of course he delays making the report until the car has served its purpose.

DEATH OF WOMAN
LINKED WITH BABES

BY the Associated Press.
GREENVILLE, S. c., March O.
Police and county officers are here to-
day attempting to link the death Of
Mrs. Clara T. Adams of Ebert County
Ca, whose body was found lodged
against tree in the Saluda River We'd
nesday, with that of baby whose body
was found in a field near the river a
week before.
Oficers have fixed February as the
date upon which Mrs. Adams met her
death. On that day a woman dressed
like Mrs Adams, a man answering the
description of one being sought in
Michigan in connection with Mrs.
Adams death and a child were seen in
an automobile at Dunhams Bridge,
about 800 yards from where the woman's
body was found.
When the child's body was found in
a field near the river a week later little
attention was paid to the incident, and
officers ordered the corpse buried. 1t
appeared to have been pulled into the
field by dogs. Finding of the woman's
body has plunged officers into thor
ough investigation of the death of the
child as well.

ALL. IMMIGRATION
STAND UNDECIDED.
Green Says Labor Is Uncer-

Origins Provision.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The American Federation of Labor is
not ready to indorse the revision of the
immigration quotas provided in the con-
troversial national origins provision
which is about to go into effect. This
announcement was made yesterday by
President William Green.

tional origins)," he said, would serve
to restrict immigration in the very def
mite and practical way which labor de-
sires in order to protect its economic
and social interests. Until we are GER
tain of this fact, we are committed to
the existing quota provision as embodied
in the immigration law"
The letter of Mr.. Green was written
as a denial of statement made by
Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl-
vania, the champion OF the national
origins provision, in Senate debate.
Reed interpreted a telegram from Mr..
Green as indorsing the national origins
provision. Senator Walsh, Democrat,
Massachusetts, inquired of Mr.. Green If
that was an accurate Interpretation and
Green's reply was made public yestec-
day by the Massachusetts Senator.
Meanwhile, foes of the origins pro-
vision are preparing for drive at the
forthcoming extra session to repeal or
postpone it. Otherwise it goes into eff
feet July /. The provision would fur
Their restrict immigration to this coun-
try, but the quota basis OF the various
nations would be revised drastically.

many being the principal loser.
"The American Federation of Labor
has not Endorsed the national origins
law" Green said in his letter to Sena-
tor Reed, a copy of which was made
public by Senator Walsh.
