THE TANGLE LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT, CONTINUED I will tell you, my friend, that I have never In my life been moved to such an emotional thrill as at this ceremony. I found the tears running down my cheeks in rivulets. I tried to get my handkerchief but my hands were shaking so that I oould not get It. The thought of that saintly woman putting her boy into ithe care of yours was one of the most wonderful things I have aver known. Little Jack bent his head over the little red faced animal in his arms and kissed it, which closed the proceedings, for the nurse took the baby from the room.

No, I forgot, as soon as the boy was relieved of the baby he crawled upon the bed beside Leslie and as his hands caressed her faoe'he kissed her eyes and hair, and with great unction, "I will wuv' lltrtle Buddy, 'cause I wuv' you, muwer, and you wan' me to wuv' him." Jack Prescott, you need killing, but I envy you Just tha same. men are growing up who will call you father. Two men will come onto the world's battleground and fight a good fight because they have called your wife "mother." Froc ks, Ensemb le Ton, old ohap, haven't had very much to do with It, and what yon have had has made two women quit unhappy, Leslie Is growing more beautiful every day. For a moment I watched her tonight with her son In her arms and yours clinging to her knees and she made for me the picture of "motherhood divine." i BTD. P.

S. I am leaving for home tomorrow. That Is a queer mix up of young Condon's. Leslie told ma about It. Isn't It strange, old chap, what a woman can do with us? A bad woman can carry us down to the nethermost hell, and a good woman will bear us In her arms up to the highest heaven.

You see, I am feeling very good tonight, and I shoud feel this way, because for once I have seen the thing that all the poets have tried to describe, but without avail: and all the artists have attempted to paint, but never quite succeeded. 1 have seen a beautiful woman teaching her children the first rudiments in ethics of life. Tea, I envy you. STD. (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service.
