In a modest little cottage out at 4352 Franklin street there's a mother longing to rush to the aid of her daughter and her tiny granddaugh ter. But more than 1,000 long miles separate the two, and, for financial reasons, the mother, Mrs. James W.

Mrs. Cragin paused, to wipe a stray tear from her eyes and continued brokenly: "I-l'm afraid my daughter's life is ruined. She wanted her father to come to her, but we telegraphed her he couldn't come. We are cot wealthy, but we'll always be able to give Ella and her baby daughter a home. She knows that We'll raise the money somehow for her to come to US. ., - ; , "Oh, how'she must need me! But I can only stay here and pray she will come back to us." Leads Butterfly Life.
