CHAPTER 111.
(Copyright, 1917, Star Company)
For what mu3t have been a full
minute I knelt In front of littlo Grace
Norton, waiting for her next speech.
Perhaps the situation would have
seemed ridiculous to the casual on
looker. To mo it meant more than
appeared on the surface. My success
in this beautiful home might depend
upon what this mite of a child thought
of me. And from her aunt's silence
1 was sure that sho, too, was waiting
to hear the small girl express her
frajik opinion.
As I waited I, in my turn, looked
my wee charge ovor.
Sho was slender and dainty, with
great gray eyes and long lashes; her
fair hair was soft and hung In loose
curls about her face. Her skin was
clear and pale, her hands and feet
were tiny. Her frame was very small.
Evidently she did not inherit her
physique from her father. She was
probably like her mother, Mrs. Gore's
sister. As this thought came to me
1 saw a strong resemblance between
the fragile widow and the littlo girl;
At last the child spoke. "I am
glad you havo cotfio ," she said grave
ly. Then, turning to her aunt
"and X like her, Auntie."
The reaction from the brief period
of suspense was sudden. Mrs. Gore
smiled, and I laughed outright."
"Good!" I exclaimed. "I am grlad
you liko me, for I like you."
"Do you?" Grace queried. Then
at last sho smiled, and as I rose to
my feet, she tucked her hand in
mine.
"Come up to my nuraery with me
can't she. Auntie?" she pleaded.
"11l a few minutes sho may, dear,"
the widow said. "Maggie!" sho called
to someone who was moving in the
adjoining room.
A rosy-cheeked maid appeared at
the door.
"Maggie," the mistress ordered, go
with Miss Grace up to her room and
take her wraps off. This," with a
now toward me, "is Miss Grace's
new governess. Hitter she will come
up and you can tell her where the
little girl's various belongings are."

Housatonic Captain
Tells of Her Sinking by
"Sorry" U-Boat Captain
Penzance, Eng., Feb. G.—Captain
Enson. of New York, master of the
American merchantman Houaatonic
yesterday gave the following account
of the sinking of his vessel, taken
from his log:
"At 10.30 o'clock on Saturday we
saw a submarine, flying no colors,
about 250 yards astern. She fired two
shots, the second passing close to the
ship and striking the water just ahead.
"We stopped the engines and then re
versed them. We were ordered to
take our papers! aboard the subma
rine.
"When I boarded the submarine
the commander at first spoke in Ger
man, but being told that it was not
understood he spoke perfect English.
He said: 'I find that the vessel is
laden with grain for London. It is
my duty to sink her.' I protested vig
orously. The commander at first took
no notice and then explained: 'You
are carrying foodstuffs to an enemy
of my country, and, though I am sor
ry, it is my duty to sink you.'
"I asked to be towed landward, but
the commander said it was impossible
■because the vicinity was full of Brit
ish warships. I again protested, to no
purpose, against the sinking of the
ship, saying it was a deliberate act
against a friendly power. He was in
different to my protests.
"He then gave the signal to my
crew to abandon ship. After this sig
nal was answered from the ship he
hoisted the German flag for the first
time. He kept the ship's papers.
"Then his third officer boarded the
Housatonic, descended to the engine
room, and with a hammer smashed off
several seacocks. After removing sev
eral hatches he ordered all on board
to take to the boats. Before he re
turned to the submarine I asked this
oflicer to use his influence to induce
the commander to tow us toward the
land. He agreed.
"The ship was torpedoed at 12.30
o'clock on the starboard side, the com
mander taking camera pictures as she
sank. He then threw us a tow line
and towed us to the northward. The
Housatonic disappeared in twenty
minutes. The submarine towed us
until 2 o'clock, when we approachc-d
a British patrol boat. The submarine
disappeared after attracting attention
to us by firing a shot."
Fate of Crew of Belgian
Relief Ship Lars Krase,
Torpedoed, Is in, Doubt
London, Feb. 6.. Nothing is yet
known regarding the fate of the crew
of the Belgian relief steamer Lars
Kruse, which was sunk by a torpedo
or mine pear the Belgian coast yester
day. The ship touched at La 3 Palmas
on January 20 and in the ordinary
course would have made tome British
port before arriving at Rotterdam,
where she was due ahout February 10.
The Lars Kruse carried the flag of
the Belgian relief commission and was
marked as arranged by the commis
sion with the German government. It
had not received a safe conduct from
Germany, as such passports had been
refused the relief ships by Berlin.
Receive Official Report
on Sinking of Eavestone
and Death of American
Washington, D. 0., Feb. 0, —An of
ficial report of the sinking of the
steam?:- Eavestone and the killing of
an Aricrican seaman reached the State
Department to-day from Consul Frost
at. Queenstown. The ship was a pro
visional British collier. Consul.Frost's
message said:
"Provisional British collier Eave-
Ktono sunk by shell fire from German
submarine in vicinity of Fastnet yes
terday (February 4), American ne
gro, able seaman. Richard Wallace, of
Baltimore, killed during shelling of
boat after just left Eavestone, De
tails not yet available."
Consul Frost's dispatch describing
the Eavestone as a provisional collier
| leads to the possibility that the de
' etroyed vessel might be classed as a
warahlp. If at the time of the sinking
the Eavestone was in admiralty serv
. lee, no possibility of trouble with Ger

TUESDAY EVENING,
When the servant and child had
gone upstairs, Mrs. Gore asked me to
close the -door.
"I want to have a few minutes talk
with you," she said quickly, as though
she had a duty on her mind which
she wished to discharge as soon as
possible. "Sit down."
"I am not strong, she continued,
when I had dona her bidding, "al
though lam seldom actually ill. But
I cannot be up and downstairs after
Grace, of course. So I have had her
In here with mo a gTeat doal, as there
must bo some responsible person to
talk to as sensitive a child as she Is.
Her room is up on the samo floor
as yours, connecting with it, in fact.
It is the big front room. Opening
from it on ono side is a combination
dressing and bathroom In which I
have had Maggie sleep since the train
ed attendant loft some months ago,"
"Trained attendant?" I repeated.
"Has the child been 111?"
"Oh, no," the aunt said, "but she
has nover been very strong. Her
mother" sho paused and I could
see a faint flush creeping under her
skin, and she spoke reluctantly, yet
hurriedly *her mother was very
much of un invalid. Her state of
health and nerves affected her baby,
"So, for several yoars, we had a
trained nurse for the child, and after
that a trained attendant. For the
post six months we have tried an or
dinary maid. But, as I have told you,
Grace needs companionship. That is
why my brother-in-law engaged you,"
"I hope I shall satisfy you," I
murmured, as before.
"The quostion," she said, "is not
as to whether you satisfy me, but
whether Mr. Norton approves of you.
It is ho who Insists on Grace having
a governess. I suggested kinder
garten for her, but ho would not hear
of it. He has very rigid ideas of the
way he wants her brought up."
"He does not approve of her play
ing with othef children?" I ventured.
Already I felt that the little girl was
very lonely.
Yes, in a way always provided
some careful older person Is pres
ent. And you must be that person.
CONGRESS PASSES
IMMIGRATION BILL
[Continned From First Page]
to the Japanese objection and plead
ing that nothing be done at this time
to disturb or impair the country's re
lations with a friendly nation. Sen
ator Smith, of South Carolina, chair
man of the immigration committor,
answered with the declaration that the
j present state of international affairs
I emphasized the necessity for a pure,
I homogeneous American people, such
as tne bill was intended to protect.
The literacy test provided for in the
bill excludes from the United States
all aliens over 16 years of age phys
ically capable of reading who cannot
read the English language or some
other language or dialect, including
Hebrew or Yiddish. Any admissible
alien, however, or any citizen of the
United States may bring in or send for
his father or grandfather, over 55
years of ago, his wife, mother, grand
mother or unmarried or widowed
daughter, if otherwise admissible, re
gardless of whether such relatives can
read.
Immediately after the Senate's ac
tion Representative Gardner, of Mas
sachusetts. introduced in the House a
new immigration measure to limit the
number of aliens coming into this
country to a total of 200,000 in excess
of the outgoing aliens.
Get Official Notice of
Release of 64 Seamen
"Washington, D. C., Feb. 6.—Official
notice of the release by Germany of
the sixty-four American prisoners in
Germany for having taken pay on
board British armed merchantmen
captured by the German sea raider
was received at the State Department
to-day in a delayed dispatch from Am
bassador Gerard.
The prisoners were released, Ger
many claims, because at the time of
their enlistment they did not know
Germany had planned to treat all
armed ships as war vessels. This
seems to indicate to officials here that
Germany decMed to treat such vessels
as warships as far back as when the
men taken into port by the Yarrow
dale took out their service papers, in
some cases several months ago.
All German Ships in
Hawaiian Island Disabled
Honolulu, Feb. 6. Engines and

ON MOVEMENTS HY WIRELESS
Dijon, France, Feb. 6.—The news
paper Noroeste to-day prints a tran
script of a telephone message alleged
to have been sent from here to the
German consul at Madrid advising him
of the departure of a ship for Bilbao
to load iron ore for a foreign port. The
newspaper also alleges the existence
of a concealed wireless station to sup
ply information to German submarines
regarding the movements of ships.
TO RAISE GOVERNOR'S SALARY
The Governor's salary will be in
creased to $25,000 a year if a bill in
troduced by Senator G rait at last
night's session of the Senate Is adopt
ed. Tne criticism has beon raised that
the enormous expenses entailed upon
the State Executive by reason of the
entertainments he is compelled to give
and other incidentals of life at the
Executive Mansion make It impossible
for any Governor to live on the salary
now allowed,
INCREASE STATE POLICE
Senator Buckman introduced a bill
in the Senate last night increasing the
number of State police to 837 and
raising the salary of the Buperinten3-

that more State police will be required
if the troops arc called out in case of

Live Baby given fiway at Family
Theater to-night,—adv.
I have been hoping that you will be
i willing to keep an eye on the ohlld
at night as well as in the daytime.
That is, you will look in on her each
night the last thing before you sleep,
and you will have the door of com
munication between your room and
1 hers open at night BO that you
can listen for her."
Ail Agreement Keached
"Certainly!" I agreed. "I would
• consider that my duty. I am here
to look after her comfort and well
being, you know."
"I am glad you appreciate that,"
Mrs. Gore said. "It will thon be no
longer necessary for Maggie to sleep
In Grace's dressing room."
i "Indeed, it will not," I affirmed.
Then some Impulse made me add:
"The little girl' must seem almost
like your own to you."
"She does." The voice was sud
denly strained. "She la my only
sister's child, you see."
"She looks like you," I observed.
"She looks more like her own dear
mother. She is like her> in every
way appearance, disposition and
all."
"Does she remember her mother?"
I naked.
"No, she was a tiny baby when
she lost her mother."
There was a scarcely perceptible
pause on the middle of the sentence.
I felt I was on dangerous ground
and changed the subject abruptly.
"The son, Grace's brother, must
be very fond of his little sister," I
remarked. "It must brighten her up
when he comes home."
"Tome is fond of Grace," MrY
Gore said. "He is a great big fellow,
like his father in physique,"
"Strange, isn't It," I mused nloud,
"how different two children of the
same parents can be? I suppose the
boy remembers his mother?"
But Mrs. Gore seemed not to hear
rne - "I. think," she said abruptly,
"that Maggie must be ready to have
you go up to the nursery now. Will
you go up at once?"
And so brusque was her manner
that I went obediently without an
other word.

SMART TOP COAT
MOST SERVICEABLE
New Model in Collar Makes
This Garment Just a Little
Different From Others
By MAY MANTON
9?7l (With Basting Line and Added
Seam Alimcance ) Box Plaited Coat,
34 t0.42 bust.
Top coats are so generally worn thit
season that such a really useful model as
this one is quite certain to find its place.
It is finished with a new and smart collar
wh'ch makes a square cape-like effect at
the back. This model can be buttoned
up closely or rolled open. Consequently
the coat is a good one for the mild days
or for the very cold ones. Fashionable
materials include a long list. Burella and
bo'ivia cloth and chinchilla are favorites.
They all are serviceable; they all are
worn; they all take soft, graceful lines
and folds. Since folds and lines of such
a garment represent its beauty that fact
is an important one. In the picture mixed
cloth is trimmed with plain, but for the
automobile coat one of the fur plushes
would be handsome and protective. It
can be finished with the wide belt illus
trated, or with the plain narrow one.
For the medium size the long coat will
require 5% yards of 36 inch material, 5
yards 44. inch material or 4 yards of 51
inch material. The shorter coat will
require 4J3 yards of material 36 inches
wide, 3yi yards of material 44 inches
wide or 3J4 yards of material 54 inches
wide. For collar and cuffs will be needed
yard 50 inches v, ide.
The pattern No. 9274 is cut in sizes
from 34 to 42 bust. It will be mailed to
any address by the Fashion Department
of this paper, on receipt of fifteen cents.
WOULD RETURN TO FIGHT
London, Feb. 6. Ten Americans
in khaki, serving under the British
colors on the western front and back
in London on leave, called at the Am
erican Embassy to ask if they would
be able to get to America in the event j
of war with Germany. All are in
Canadian regiments, two wearing j
Scotch caps, the latter pair being West |
Point men. The embassy was unable
to give the slightest information at •
this time, they were told, but it was j
hinted to them that in the event of a |
declaration of war it whs quite likely;
arangements could be made for their
returning home to fight under the j
Stars and Stripes.
This would have to be done through
the State Department at Washington
asking permission of the British Gov- j
ernment to give the men their release.
Your correspondent is unofficially in- '
formed that the British Government j
is likely to interpose no objection to !
any Americans who had enlisted with I
the King's armies going back to Am- j
erica to enlist under their own flag.
IF K DNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have
been Eating too much meat.
When you wake up with backache
and dull misery In the kidney region
It generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a well
known authority. Meat forms uric
acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed
and lotsgy. When your kidn ?/s get
sluggish and clog - you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels;
removing all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick head
ache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the weath- j
er is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore,
water scalds and you are obliged to
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable;
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; ake a tablespoonful in a glass !
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
tine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with llthla, and has been
used for generations to clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to :
neutralize acids in the urine so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts Is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It Is Inexpensive, cannot
