vently for taking the child, and
he and his son moved to another
city. The baby has grown to be
one of the most responsive, in

about her. My own YOUTH am

am alone except for Maureen.
Nov Ralph has married again,

untitled to handle a child of FIVE
She is pretty, frivolous, and doesn't
want Maureen. But Ralph, who has
prospered, bought home and
placed his son in fine school, is de-
termined to have the child with
them. They have one servant, a
Filipino who has been with Ralph for
years; except for what he does, the
new wife will have to do everything
in the way of housework and care of
my adored baby; evenings will have
to be sacrificed to staying at home
with Maureen, and the new wife of

it out in dislike for the child.

"Maureen is not spoiled. But she
is a sensitive, loving little thing,
and transplanting her will go hard

that l have a chance of winning.
What do you think is the probability

I have wired Mary Lee by no

strongest but the sole claim; Mary
Lee has nothing, except the men,

surrender Maureen with as much

Laws are made for the greatest
