BRIPPLING OF CHELBREN (N01 2) RICHMOND HILL Dealers in ETHURSDAY; JUNE? mm, 1937 to West Indies She reflected that she would not have a minute for breakfast. New York was big, and it might take longer than half an hour to walk to the place where she had to go. She emerged, stiff and dazed. in Ann Ward sat the night through in a day coach. The hard plush seat, the jolting stops and starts, had their way with her rheumatism. She fid-g- eted because the train was so slow. Suppose it arrived too late. She asked the conductor a dozen times, and each time he assured her that they would' reach New York by 8.30. They all sighed in relief. Ann Ward waited that night until Thomas was asleep. Then she took her suitcase and went quietly out of the house and to the railroad station. The only train was a local that paused in- Taunton at midnight on its wearL some, halting way to New York. She patted his arm. “You’re a good boy but you’re not old enough to boss me,” she told him, who was 40. “However, I may put it off,” she compromised, .to end' the argument. “I forbid you to go, mother,” Thomas said. Her sons and daughters excfianéed covert glances. What a Lying- brag- gart Vera was. 1 He was glad his mother didn’t know. ‘But he did not count on Mrs. Ward’s decision to visit ‘Vera‘ A few days after the newspaper incident, she made up her mind. Thomas call- ed a family conference and they all protested. ' “Mother, you’re not we'll.” “I doubt if Vera has room for vou." “Yes, she has,” said Ann Ward. “She has a big apartment and only yesterday she wrote that she has a new part in a big opera company.” “Can I help? Answw care ban’k. Mother must not know.” The answer came: “No.” Exactly the proud answer Vera would send. Let her "high and mighty New York friends he'lp her, Thomas thought. And she *was strong for"her age. She was the first one down every _ morning to 'get breakfast ’for the " twins. who were in high school, and ifor Thomas. who liked a ’loisurv‘." ‘breakfast before going- tn the bank.

From the fizrst‘Vera was different. She ’ flaumbed~~a strange beauty; her dark ' eyes ‘fl'ung‘ out a challenge; so did ‘ her sl'rm‘fig'ure. The ‘boys at the corner stared‘ after her, but she never gave them a glance. She had a nice voice, 'bdt- she was not satisfied with the church choir. Tamon wasn’t Igood enough for her. ' No mm was surprised when she ran away to New York. She had l’not gotten on well with 'IYnomas, who iwas bemrr'nmg a bit fussy. as middle aged bachelors do. Folks gossiped that. she ‘had' gone on the‘stage, but Mrs. Ward said “No,” that she heard from her regularly and that she was , singing in 4concerts. However, Ann Ward looked badly that winter after Vera le'ft, though goodness knew she had. no~r~eason to worry, with Vera doing 50-well, and all of her other children around her for comnamr.

She took the only job she could get and that’s how she got herself in ,trouble. If she was young- er I’d take the hail-brush to her. As it is, I figure she’s .been punished about enough. What’s more she hasn’t been eating right and she’s run down. If you’ll let me I'd like to take her home for a rest. Maybe she’ll learn The judge rapped and said»: “Con- tinue Mrs. Ward!" “Honey did you think those brag- ging letters fooled me? They just worried me. I knew if y0u were doing as well as you claimed you’d send money home.” Vera cried: “Mother, how did you know?” “To begin with, I don’t know what a strip tease act is so I don’t know «what you’re accusing my girl of. But I don’t doubt maybe she was doing something she ought not to have don-e. She was always a little wild, but more than that, she Was ambi- tious. She had her heart set on be- ing a singer or success of some kind. About a year ago she came to New York. I reckon she found it wasn’t so easy as she thought. She has a‘ good voice and she was the prettiest girl in Taunton but, in a city where there is plenty of prettier girls and maybe some with better voices. But she kept on trying until her money gave out. She was too proud to write home for more. Besides she knew I didn’t have much to send.” The judge looked thoughtful. He was known as a severe judge fOr he had two daughters and he thought that the hard-boiled young offend- ers who paraded before him were a “bad influence on the other young- sters. But the present defendant did not seem hard-boiled. She was gazâ€" ing at her mother with a tragic pleading that he hoped never ‘to see in the eyes of his own daughters. “Tell your story as you Wish Mrs Ward,” he said. I can say what I’ve got to say better in my own words.” The prosecution objected. What did a mother know of ‘her daughter’s morals when she lived in upstate and the girl in New York‘? While they“ argued Mrs. Ward smiled apologeti- cally at the judge. “I’m sorry to cause such a fuss,” she said. “Maybe THE MCHMOND HEEL “Suppose you ‘tell me of your daughter’s character‘,” said Vel‘a’s counsel. “Is 3119 of 'fiigh moralâ€"” There was a consultation between Vera‘s lawyer and‘the prosecutor and the judge which ended in Mrs. Ward taking her place in the witness chair. Vera turned pale and gasped: “Mo. ther, I didn't \want you to know! You mustn’t be dragged into this!” Mrs. Ward patted her shoulder. “Child you look thin and high strung. I should have come sooner.” She turned back ‘to the bench. “Mr. Judge, can I talk 'to you?” At this moment a little old wo- man slipped into the room and came down the aisle. She piped in‘ a clear high voice: '“Mr. "Judge, I don’t know just what *to flo’in court but this girl is my .danghiar-‘and I’d like to 'ex- plain to .you abmat her."

Last year considerable excitement was caused by the rumor that letters were being stolen from the rural mail boxes in the Sutton district, until postal authorities actually discovered the starlings taking mail from the- boxes, in some cases letters being, found two hundred yards from the box.

Wilkie, home on fur- lough from Formosa, gave a most interesting address at the afternoon Session, and explained a large collec- tion of articles which she had brought from that land. Our Misâ€" sion Work in Formosa is among the Chinese, and this work has been made increasingly difficult by the ac- tion of the Japanese Government in forbidding the use of the Chinese language in the schools, and even in- flicting punishment on Chinese chil- dren speaking their own language on the way to school. Mrs. Wilkie said their work was only, possible by the knowledge that they were being up- held in prayer by friends in the homeland, and begged us to make use of this powerful weapon of prayer God had put in our hands.
