Albert Mocarny worked hard at the mill, and all day long, when her household duties did not require her presence at home, his wife toiled over the wash tub whenever she could find work, until the needed sum was raised.

Early this year it was determined to send for the girls. The mother's heart could bear the separation no longer. She arranged it so that as she believed they could be with her Easter. But she did not realize the quantity of red tape which It would be necessary to unwind before it would be possible for the steamship company, and the United immigration inspection bureau would consent to take charge of, and receive the minors. Weeks and weeks went by.

Many papers had to be signed and there were numerous visits to the office of the consul representing the home government of the Mocarnys, before the glad time arrived when the children could start on their long Journey. It was only a week ago lost Saturday, when they were permitted to start, and they arrived in Castle Garden last Monday. This last was reported by a man who lives In Whiting, but whose name Mrs. Mocarny did not know.

That tne children arrived at Castle Garden is known, but what has become of them since, or whether they are still there, is the question that is driving the mother frantic. The woman's name Is Mrs. Henry Mocarny.
