Congress Leaders Believe Lobby Probe Will Find
 Many Millions
BY RONALD G. VAN TINE United Press Stan Correspondent)


 Washington, July 26-Congres- sional lobby investigators learned today that utilities spent at least $1,209,034 fighting the utility hold ing company bill but couldn't be certain of what was in two mys- terious boxes taken from a hotel where lobbyists maintained head quarters.
 Senate Investigators did not ex- press themselves as satisfied with explanation of witnesses that one of the boxes may have contained cigars and the other pamphlets on the care of horses and cattle. Both were wrapped in newspapers.
 May Run To Millions
 They believed also that the total revealed as spent by six utility or ganizations in fighting the Wheeler Rayburn bill to outlaw unnecessary utility holding companies by 1922 might be only fraction of the to- tai, which may run into many millions"
 Senate and house conferecs scheduled for another meeting to- day to attempt to settle differences over the controversial legislation had available records listing utility expenditures as followes: Associated Gas and Elec-

 fore, you, go," Uncle Lew said, and tried to smooth back his shag- Ey gray eyebrows with the tips of his fingers.
 Jenny stood at the door with her back to him, and when Uncle Lew saw her shoulders quiver there came to him a stronge, poignant pain that he had not experienced for thirty years. A girl hAd turned her eyes from his then, and his eyebrows weren't gray then. . And then the girl had gone away.
 Uncle Lew" Jenny said, you ought to let me go" She smiled at him, and the hat that came down over one eye gave her a rakish look. You could only tell from one of her eyes that she'd not be able to keep the tears back much longer.
 "It's an old, old legend" said Uncle Lew. G.g. He had been 20 then, when the girl turned her eyes from his, and he had told her he loved her. She didn't want to hurt him; but she turned her eyes away, and soon she left and he never saw her again. Uncle Lew had been awfully poor in those days.
 "Well, if they'd seen it done" said Jenny. She couldn't walk out on Uncle Lew this way. It had been such a struggle for him in the be- ginning. She understood that now. Think of having a woman you once loved writing to you, and when you investigated you found only her baby in a worn-out-look- ing rooming-h house room.
 "One traveller tells that he saw 1t done by night. He was in Egypt and sitting around a fire with others when magician came among them. He did nothing startling at first, this magician" Uncle Lew said.
 Jenny was sitting on the arm Of a chair and looking at the toe of her shoe. But the woman who had gone away from him had left this child to him. There was much 10 be done, and though at first 1t was hard, at last he won. Uncle Lew made more money than was HeeSs. sary. Jenny had got everything she wanted and there was a good deal left over. ..
 And then what did the magician do?" Jenny asked. Uncle Lew had done everything he could to brighten things; but what could even he do? Bob was supposed 70 be waiting for her; of course she was only II then. and he was IS. .. and though the others used to laugh even then 1t meant very much to her. And now she was IS and Bob, was still only seven years older and 1t didn't seem like so much. But Bob had met an actress when his dad sent him to New York on what was supposed to be

 The door flew open. With his hat in his hand, his coat flung open and his face flushed, Bob stood there.

 The girl whirled around. She drew in a deep breath that was almost a sob and ran to Bob's arms. Uncle Lew lit his pipe.
 What happened?" Jenny asked as she touched Bob's face as though she couldn't believe he was real. Bob looked at her with worshtp-s ping eyes.
