 "Yes, Toby. I've had detectives at work for weeks ever since l first suspected the truth. They've pieced together the whole story; all the legal documents are in my office. Toby, you said a while ago that you wouldn't mind having me for father. Do you still mean tt?"

 But how did you know? How did you ever find out2? Oh, I want to know all about 1t-?"

 She had to hear the whole story, then, from the beginning. And the beginning was the day weeks before when a dozen photographs were laid on Jay Hillyer's desk - photographs of models from whom the "Hillyer Soap Girl" was to be selected.
 Tt wasn't your photograph-not at first-that decided the question" |" he told her. Tt was your name. I was curious about 8 girl whose name was Toby. You see, it hap pens to be my name. Jay T. Hillyer. The T. is for Tobias and 1t was my grandfather's name. I was Toby as a boy and that is what your mother called me. Later when ] went into business I thought Jay was more dignified 50 I took to using 1t instead. It's the name I've used for twenty years now.
 Your mother gave you my name, and 1t was that that led to my finding you. Your mother - and my Mary - bringing us together, dear, after all these years. You sec, your aunt misled you when she said you were her brothers child. I suppose she did 1t because she thought, as she had said 50 often, that the annulled marriage was a disgrace. She didn't want any connection with the Hillyer name, so she called you Toby Ryan. Your mothers name was Mary Fern - Mary Fern Ryan. That was before I changed 1t to Mary Fern Hillyer. There's a record of your christening among the papers I've gotten together. I'll get them all out and show them to you in a day or 50.
 Do you remember the afternoon I walked into Duryea's studio when you were posing for a photograph You had on a blue dress with 8 long, full skirt and ruffles. You can't imagine the shock 1t gave me. Your mother wore a dress like that years ago. Oh. I suppose you would see differences, but the dress you wore looked to me exactly like your mothers. You looked amaz- ingly like her.
 T asked you to have dinner with me that night. After I'd talked to you, I made up my mind that I had to know more about 1t. had to find out who you were and where you came from.
 Next morning I got in touch with private detective agency and put them to work. They pieced back the facts - but it took time. You

ST. LOUIS, Mo, September 26-
The st. Louis Post-Dispatch Onde-
pendent), which supported Democratic
candidates in the last five presidential
campaigns, announced tonight that
it cannot support Mr.. Roosevelt for
reelection to the presidency"
I'm simplest possible terms" said
the newspaper, which was founded by
Joseph Pulitzer, "the overshadowing
issue in the coming national election
Is whether or not we shall set up in
America, in defiance of the American
tradition and in defiance of the plain
intent Of the Constitution as it now
stands, Government with vast and
centralized authority over the eco
nomic life of the Nation.
ION that issue the Dispatch,
believing as it does in an economy of
free enterprise. under the political
forms of our Federal system of Gov
ernment, cannot support Mr.. Roose-
welt for reelection to the presi-
dency. 80
Free Competition.
1.-THE question, to repeat, is whether
we shall continue under the present
constitutional system-a system of
which free competition is an integral
and necessary part-or whether we
shall substitute for 1t q Federal bu-
reaucracy with the unrestrained power
to impose its fats upon the daily af-
fairs of the citizen. Such a bu-
reaucracy not only destroys economic
freedom but must. in the end, II 1t Is
to succeed, destroy political freedom.
while opposing the reelection Of
Mr.. Roosevelt, We give him full credit
for the courage he displayed in the
dark days Of March, 1898; full credit
for high-minded and patriotic en-
deavor to improve the lot Of common
man. -
Evils Of Old Guardism.
I'm advocating the defeat Of Mr..
Roosevelt, the Post-Dispatch does not
shut its eyes to the evils Of the Old
Guardism repudiated by the voters in
1882. There must be no return to the
conditions that produced such evils as
the Teapot Dome scandal, the un-
considerable Hawley-Smoot tariff, the
speculative excesses OF the Coolidge
new era the wholesale defrauding
Of investors, the control and abuse Of
the national credit by Wall Street. 80
"As an independent newspaper.
committed to neither the Democratic
nor the Republican party, the Post
Dispatch holds itself free to criti-
cize the views and acts of Gov. Lam
don both as candidate and as Presi-
dent If he should be elected"
