 CHAPTER FOUR How the Babies Were Found

Now I must tell you what hap pened to the two babies that were really the two halves of a white rose.
 Remember, Santa left the boy baby in the home of young peasant and his wife. The young couple were sitting in the garden and talking at the time. That very night they had been wishing for son. That very day the young wife had left a gift for the fairies in the garden.
 She told her husband, You know the pink honey-suckle that grows over the wall? That's where left the gift"
 Tt is good spot" he said what did you leave?"
 She said, You remember the piece of silk lace on my wedding dress? I gave that to the fairies. It is the finest thing I have"
 Let's see if it's gone" said the young husband springing to his feet. He took his wife by the hand and they tip-toed through the moonlit garden to the stone wal where the pink honey-suckle grew The lace was gonel

The wife clapped her hands and jumped up and down in excite ment. oh she cried, Let's hurry to the house. Maybe he is here all ready"
 So they ran and tumbled to the house. And there lay the little bapy boy in the crib
 The young wife bent down to pick him up, but she saw the white eagles feather in his tiny hands.
 "Oh, what is that?" she asked
 The young husband looked closer and then smiled, Why, the fairies have left him gift" The young husband took the eagles feather carefully as his wife picked up the sleeping boy Then they both looked for a very safe place to keep the feather which they thought the fairies had left.
 See this stone in the wall right under the window-the blue one?' said the young husband I'll chip that out. We can place the feather behind it, and then put the stone back in place
 And that's what they did
 Now I must tell you about the girl baby which was placed in the castle in the next kingdom. The King and Queen who lived there were middle-aged. For many years the Queen had wished for a daugh- ter She had placed hundreds ot gifts in the garden for the fairies but her wish had never been granted

THREE COLORED
 WOMEN MET DEATH
Were Trampled By RiotOus Crowd That Tried to
 Board Steamer

New York, Aug. 18-(UP-The District Attorneys office began an investigation today of the circum- stances that led to the trampling to death of three negro women and the injuring of 40 other negroes at a Hudson river excursion boat pier yesterday.
 Police doubted that any individual or group of persons could be held blamable, unless it was tlEose who counterfeited 800 tickets to the 18th annual outing of the Eureka Lodge 8152, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows.
 All involved were negroes. The lodge had sold 5000 tickets to mem bers and their families for a cruise up the Hudson.
 They started arriving at the pier, an unrailed structure which juts out into the river, at 6 a. m. An hour and a half later, bedlam had brok- en loose as $500 negroes sought to board the vessel State of Delaware, whose passenger capacity is slightly over 5000.
 Police said an announcement by a lodge committeeman that counter felt tickets had been circulated touched off the riot. When it was over three women were dead on the pier, scores of others had been felled, and the boat sailed with only 1 700 aboard. The dead were Rose Grant, 50, Martha Murraine, 54, and Marion Warrell, 50. Twenty-two per- sons, including six children, required hoSpitalization.

OIL FOR BRITAIN
 NOT SUCCESSFUL
Texas Did Not Respond So Generously as Had Been
 Expected

Dallas. Tex, Aug. 18-(UP)-Yes- terday was "oil for Britain day" in Texas, but donations totaled far less than the 100000 barrels for whihc state officials had hoped.
 The Texas Railroad Commission, which governs the oil industry, meets today to determine the size of the gift, and, possibly, to set an- other "oil for Britain day."
 The gift would have been 2,000 900 barrels had every well donated the days production, but reports indi- cated that more wells were idle than flowing.
 It was doubted that the gift could leave Texas until legality could be established, and presentation of the oil to President Roosevelt, who will give it to Great Britain, was in- definitely postponed.
 Under the railroad commission'S s August production order, yesterday would have been a shutdown day for all Texas wells. Major producers said that a special order lifting the shut down from wells contributing the days production to Great Britain was without legal authority.
 The Federal Tender Board for East Texas, which operates under the Connally "hot oil" act, forbid ding interstate movement of oil produced in excess of quota, refused to issue permits for the off-day pro- duction in the East Teaxs field.
 Some major oil companies said they were in sympathy with the movement, but feared law suits be- cause the consent of each stockhold- CT had not been obtained.

NO ASSURANCE
 ON MATERIALS
Mayor Seeking Priority for Second Pipe Line; Work
 Held Essential

No word has been received from Washington on the city application for materials needed for the second pipe line, Mayor Vincent A. Scully said today. The application was filed last week in an effort to in- sure that adequate materials will be available to the Lock Joint Pipe Go. in constructing the new line from Morris.
 The firm was awarded the con- struction contract after it submit- ted price of $894000 in competi- tive bidding. Steel, iron and other materials affected by government priorities are needed.
 The pipe line will supplement the present line from the water supply. The present line is 46 years old and 8 major break would affect not onl yprivate consumers but also im- portant defense industries here.
