Wearing Burlap Bag for Over
coat Scion of Wealth Spends
Savings From Pittance
for Memorial.
By rnlvennl Service.
White Plains, N. Y., Dec. 2a.—A
withered little man, pale, hungry,
cold, tonight "Stands over the now
nameless grave of his mother.
A burlap hag with holes cut for
sleeves suffices for an overcoat. He
lias no friends, money, comforts.
Christmas is merely December 25
to Baron Buderus von Carlshausen,
who was hounded into Internment
camps, though he hated the kaiser.
It is recalled that the baron's name
stands for one, who was arrested
falsely on eight occasions as a Ger
man spy, thrown into prison and ill
treated In spite of the fact that ho had
sold more than $1,000,000 worth of
Biberty bonds as a leader of Boy
Scout drives.
Boderus was officially cleared of all
charges, but it took all the money
Ids family had to keep him from
spending an indefinite period behind
prison walls.
Then his mother, Baroness Martha
lngsborn Buderus von Carlshausen,
died in New York poor house, her
money spent to defend her son, her
jewels pawned to pay physicians.
The baron then went to work for
New York newspapers.
Those of writing bent, accepted him
for just what he was—an able, fluent
writer, earning a livelihood. The
cloud which some thought had dark
ened his past was forgotten.
Stricken suddenly with paralysis.
AAne baron soon found himself unable
to earn a living.
Those on whom lie had spent thou
sands of dollars in his balmy days
did the customary thing. But his
newspaper friends .gave him financial
aid which enabled htm to recover his
health to some extent.
Out of the pittance this scion of
wealth has earned the last two years,
the baron bought a tombstone for his
mother—and tomorrow lie will put it
over her grave with the following
inscription:
"A Mother, a. Queen, lies here, well
beloved by her son, a rolling stone.”
A withered little man, hungry, cold,
tomorrow will stand oyer the named
grave of his mother. He will he
without friends, little money, no com
forts, but the Christmas spirit, which
only sons with true affection for
their mother have.

Children at St. James Give
Christmas Program—Tree
Furnished by Knights
of Columbus.
Breath coming in little gasps of
anticipation, their eyes wide, constant
ly straying to every door to the room,
150 tots at St. James orphanage last
night watched for Santa Clrun while
they went through a program for rela
tives and friends prepared by the
Sisters of Mercy.
Children from the kindergarten,
some of them barely 2, lifted their
voices in Christmas li; mns. One tiny
Italian gill •'led1' a kindergarten toy
orchestra. Every beat was firm and
in perfect rhythm, and her "orehes
tra” took its part seriously. Yet all
the while there was that atmosphere
of expectation.
A trumpet blare made all ears ring.
Santa Claus in all his glory of red suit
trimmed in white fur stalked into the
midst of the throng of eager young
sters. Some few were just a trifle
afraid of this big, bluff bewhlskered
person, but his hearty laughter and
funny sayings soon won childish con
fidence.
Then came the distribution of toys
and goodies. From the large tree,
gift of the Knights of Columbus,
came dolls, games, toys of all descrip
tions for boys and girls. Candy, nuts,
popcorn, craokerjark, fruit and every
thing that appeals to youngsters.
These were from merchants in the
city and from contributions received
through the state. Omaha also helped

Father John Palubickl. director of
the orphanage, thanked all those
responsible for the merry Christmas

”1 am especialy thankful to those
who have made this celebration pos

STELLA DALLAS
By Olive Higgins Prouly.
SYNOPSIS
Stella Dallas separated from brr hus
band, and her daughter, Laurel. 13, live
In the "cheanest room’* of a fashionable
hotel In Mllnampton. In the parlors,
where she passes much time reading,
Laurel overhears seovnful references to
her mother made hv social leaders in
the hotel world Both mother und daugh
ter are always smartly dressed when they
go together to the dining room. Laurel
goes on a visit to her faMier in New York ;
and lie leates her at the home of Mrs ;
Morrison, a friend, while he Is awuy on j
a trip to Chicago. After seeing her
daughter aboard the train In Boston
Stella goes to a rdfe where she meets an i
old admirer, Alfred Muon, with whom
she attends a musical farce.
(Continued from Yesterday.)

But success went to Stella's head
like wine, even a small amount of
success. Stella never became the
belle she thought she did in Mllhamp
ton society, but she was, for a period,
received and accepted by certain of its
high prelates and officials, for Ste
phen's sake. It puffed her all up;
it filled her with disastrous self
confidence. Within a period of a few
weeks the limelight of recognition
made of the soft, pliable clay Stella
had been In Stephen's hands, some
thing hard and brittle ihat would
fly to pieces at his slightest touch.
Stella's first dance at the River
club was a bitter occasion for Step
hen. She, a stranger, an invited guest
of Mrs. Palmer’s, had alio- d one
man to dance with her for the entire
last half of the evening. Afterwards
In their bedroom, when Stephen
spoke to her about It, to his amaze
ment she laughed and scoffed.
"Oh, gracious, Stephen, don't think
you can give me pointers on how to
treat a man at a dance! There are
somethings I know more about than
you, my dear."
It was when Stella began to think
that there was some things she knew
more than Stephen, and to act upon
that superior knowledge, that the
seed of the trouble that ended so
disastrously for her first began to
grow.
"But, Stella, for you. a stranger, to
dance so much with one man Is con
spicuous.”
“Of course' Of course, It's con
spicuous." Stella replied. "Oh, I
know what I’m about, stupid! That
man was Spencer Chisholm! Ccaclous.
think of It! The Chisholms, tephen!
Think of it! An affair between me
and Hpeneed Chrisholm' ' Her eyes
sparkled.
Stephen turned away. It was
going to he as difficult to stamp out
Stella's vulgarity as to rid a lnwn of
the persistent dnndellon once it gets
its roots down. Stephen despised
kowtowing.
"The Chisholms! My dear Stella.
I hope you'll avoid that attitude
toward people hereafter. You're my
wife now."
“And can't look at another man?”
she flashed.
“That isn't the point."
‘Mercy," she went right on. "1
can’t help it if a man wants to dance
with me. I should think you'd be
pleased to have your wife popular.
Most men would be. Most men—"
‘I'm not pleased to have you talked
about. Please don't give any one
occasion to again. Stella."
"flood Ixird, Stephen, vou're not
going to turn out to he the Jealous
kind, I hope, if another man looks
at me."
Stephen winched.
"I hate a jealous man." she went
on. "I always have!" And she threw
down her comb upon the dressing
table. It screeched as it struck the
plateglnss protection.
Stephen winched again. Throwing
things! His wife! Accusing him of
jealousy! Very quietly he went out
into the hall, and stood a moment in
the darkness, waiting till his jarred
nerves stopped tingling.
"I must be patient.” he thought.
“It isn't her fault. It is only that
she has been bred differently. She
doesn't know.”
• 5
There were many late-night discus
sions in the bedroom after that.
Stephen hated wrangling, constant
argument, constant controversy, but
he was willing to enduce much if he
could prevent Stella from cheapening
herself, and him. too, by promiscuous
flirtations. Hut he couldn't. It was
a futile attempt. It was as instinc
tive for Stella s eyes to brighten up.
and for her manner to brighten up,
too. when a man appeared who might
admire her. as for a puppy's tail to
wag when a possibly appreciative hu
man being approaches., Stephen
might as w’eii have tried to discipline
the puppy's tail as Stella s eyes and
manner.
Stella's fondness for attention from
men was not deep Nested. If her
response had aroused any great depth
of feeling of desire, and red danger
flags would have appeared to warn
her. As It was, her very innocence
worked to her disadvantage. She
could see no reason for not taking a
little harmless fun as It came along,
especially if It improved her social
prospects. Because It was harmless
she persisted in It. until Stephen's
patience was worn out, and his ride
and self-respect torn and tattered.

though showing plainly the effects of
the long, nervous strain she had un
dergone. She was still in bed. evi
dently obeying Or. Bralthwalte's or
ders for a two days’ rest cure, but
she raised herself eagerly on one el
bow as I came in.
"Oh, Madge!” she exclaimed. "I
have been wanting to see you so
much. Is the door closed? All
right. We shan’t be disturbed then.
I haven’t a special nurse, you know,
and I’ve already had m^ breakfast
and my face washed for the day.”
Her voice bubbled Into a merry
laugh, and as I kissed her I saw
shining in her eyes the happiness
which had transformed her.
”Sit right down beside me, where
I can look at you,” she commanded,
clinging to my hands, and as I
obeyed her, she compressed all her
happy news Into three words and
flung them at me:
Hess Dean Again.
"Everything’s all right!"
"I knew it would be. dear.” I re
turned, "but tell me all about it—
what you wish, I mean.”
"I think you're entitled to every
thing. don't you?" she returned ex
aggerated gratitude in her eyes.
"No, I don't," I returned bluntly^
"But I shall be very glad to hear
everything.”
A rosy flush on her oheeks, sudden
shyness In her eyes, prepared me for
her first revelation.
"Alf knows—and oh, Madge, he is
so happy! It is like heaven.
Wasn't I foolish to doubt the way he
would take my news? And all the
rest of my unhappiness was «-etty
nearly as foolish—not quite, though."
She had babbled on like a happy
child, but at the last words her eyes
shadowed.
1 "Tell me," she said abruptly, after
a minute's silence, "did you say any
thing to Albert about—about—Bess
Dean?”
"No, indesd," I responded, glad of
the opportunity to be strictly truthful
in my answers to her.
"Then, I wonder—I think some
body had been talking to him. al
though he made it appear that he had
puzzled it all out for himself—n?y un
happiness over her. I mean—and he
made it so easy for me to tell him—
my—other—secret—that I can't think
it just happened, or that he figured
it all out by himself. Somebody—yet
nobody knew but—Dr. Eraithwaite
must have talked to him!"
Madge Is Sure.
She flung the last words out with
a vigor so in contrast to the half
musing murmur in which she had
been absorbed for the last few sec
onds. that I was startled into a
panicky protest. Th^re was the be
ginning of a doubt in her eyes, which
if allowed to grow would destroy all
the physician's wise prescriptions
"Where did you get an idea like
that?” I asked, purposely making my
voice irritated. "Dr. Bralthwaite is
a surgeon, not a physical expert. He
simply saw you were worn out and
prescribed a rest for you. He didn't
tell Alfred anything else, you may lie
sure. I know Kdwin. He's a shark

Sumerian to him '
"Are you sure ' ’ The childlike
eagerness in her voice, the renewed
light In her eyes, helped to smother
the early Puritan growls which my
leashed conscience was giving.
"Of course. So don't he a silly

gods have given you and be thankful
for It."

Alfred told me he wouldn't have hurt
me for the world if he only had re
alized how his friendship with Bess
Dean annoyed me—yet—I do not be
lieve he lias any idea yet of the real
nature of that girl. I think he—
thinks she's—a pretty good sort—mis
understood—you know—and all that.”
There was the sure, wifely intui
tion in her voice which I knew it
was useless to combat by reasoning
or apparent proof, so I contented my
self with saying argumentatively:
"Well, even supposing that is true,
can't you wait for Time to show him
the truth about the girl—while you
hug to your heart the happiness you
have?”

the misty eves lifted to mine.
"I'll do what you say, Madge—
and trust the rest to you," she
whispered, and as I left her I was
sure she knew that I meant to aid
Time in his task of showing Alfred
the truth concerning Bess Dean.
