der of Louise Teuber. 17-year-old

20. former sailor, confessed, &C
cording to officers, that he

The Washington times., 1931-08-07

Two years ago, I lived in a
small town in Connecticut. l
had an excellent position with a
farmers supply company and
was blessed with a devoted~wite
and a 14-year-old daughter. And
just when life seemed rosiest
and happiest, the crash came.
My wife was fatally hurt in an
automobile smash.
They brought her into the
house and placed her on the
sofa. She made me promise
that l would be both mother
and father to our daughter. I
promised. And she died.
II guess I wasn't man enough
to keep that promise in the be-
ginning. The whole thing hit
me so hard that I began to
drink more than was good for
me. And it wasn't long before I
lost my job and my daughter,
too.
Il came home one day to
find note on the parlor table.
1t was from Martha-that's my
daughter. She said she was
tired Of staying there. and was
going to Broadway to go on
the stage. And that was all.
Looking for Martha
THAT note brought me to
my senses when it was too
late. I suddenly remembered
my promise to my dead wife
and realized what l had done.
I made up my mind to find
Martha and bring her back
with me. That was 16 months
ago.
I'm still looking. Each day
finds me hanging around the
theaters and the dramatic
agencies. I want Martha. I
want Martha. I want her very,
very much-and I can't find
her"
He stopped. And looked at
me.
You don't know her by any
chance, do you? Her name is
Martha Maxton. and she is
short and has blonde hair. You
don't know her, do you?"
A gleam of hope shone from
his eyes. I shook my head.
And the gleam died.
We'll. that's all. You know
the whole story now. I haven't
touched a drink since I started
my search And never will
again. I haven't any money,
but I will continue to get along
somehow. If I do not find her.
I can at least tell my wife in
Heaven that l died searching
for our Martha"
He stood up from the table
and placed his little cap on his
head. I placed my hand in my
pocket and drew forth a bill.
Here" I said, please take
this with you"
His hand closed over the
money. He looked at me. tears
