The llvt r n port Mjsterj
tliy Louise JoJ'ner)
In Modena, C'aliloinia. (here liaa
lived lor the past twenty years i
gentleman of great prominence. H?
has a distinguished and demanding
figure, holds himself erect and com
mands tile respect and admiration ol
all the citiiens of Modena. This Im
portant personage with steel gray
eyes and Koman nose. Is none other
than the great William G. Waters,
president of the United Modena and
Starling Steel Mills. He practically
owns Modena and the surrounding
country. There are great mills there
and many tenement districts, all be
longing tp William G. Waters. The
tenement districts are beautiful little
towns within themselves however and
the mills are likewise sanitary and
healthy. All the laborers know and
love Waters for his unfailing courtesy
and kindness to, them. They are happy
and contented and. as they are tuny
aware, owe their happiness and con
tenunont to their boss. v
When Waters landed in Modena, ho
was a poor penniless boy with active
Imagination and great ideas. He had
not worked there very long when ho
decided that the waters of the river,
on the banks of which Modena was
situated, if conserved, would provide
power for large factories and mills.
He told some people of his plan and
they scorned him. However a weal,
thy old gentleman of the town become
Interested in the boys project and
placed the capital necessary for fac
tories and mills at his disposal. The
town grew from a village of about a
thousand people to a city of about
forty thousand.
Now, with all of his money, a fine
house and a good true wife, Waters
was not happy. In 19X7, he lost the
only child he had. A little girl with
coal black curls and deep blue ey?s.
He had never recovered from his loss.
He walked to and from the office
for exercise His wife nearly always
waited for him in the evenings on
the porch. She could always tell when
he had been thinking of little Nellie
by the manner in which he walked
when returning in the evenings.
Whenever she saw that he was sad
and depressed, her smile grew more
tender and her voice sweeter and
softer. She herself grieved when he
was at work but always, she greeted
him with a Bweet cheerful smile and
soft words of encouragement.
One bright January day in '21, she
stood waiting for her husband with
a new, brighter and more cheerful
smile than ever before. Clearly she
was very happy over something. "Oh,
Billy," she cried when he was within
earshot, "do hurry. I have a big sur
prise for you."
He hastened his steps and quickly
reached the porch. After his custom
ary evening kiss, she pulled him into
the house. She opened the sitting room
door softly and gently pushed her
husband before her into the room. I
There, on the sofa by the fire, lay
a lovely young girl of about sixteen
or seventeen. Her dark black hair
was pushed back from her forehead
and lay in decided contrast to the
white pillow on which her head rested
wearily. A slight smile played about
her mouth, as if she wtere having
pleasant dreams. The fire flickered
and the soft light fell on her clear
white skin, giving color to the pale
sunken cheeks. A soft down comfort
was spread over her and a small foot,
clad in a bedroom slipper several
sizes too large, protended.
A smile crossed Waters face, almost
immediately replaced however by an
expression of sadness, while yet the
smile lingered in his eyes.
! "Who is it, Mary? What Is it. An
Angel? It looks like little Nell." as
he spoke tears filled his eyes and
randown his cheeks.
"Come in the other room and I will
tell you all I know about her. I'm
afraid we will wake her in here."
They crossed the hall. Mr. Waters
hung his hat and coat up and entered
the other room with his wife. He
settled himself In a large easy chair
and exchanged his shoes for slippers
which had been placed near his chair
by his wife.
"Now," he said, "tell me all about
it my dear."
"All right," she answered. "This
morning about an hour after you left
I was sitting here reading when the
door bell rang and I went to see who
was there. I opened the door and
saw there that lovely child whom you
saw a moment ago, lying In yonder,
peacefully sleeping. Her coat was
| nothing but rags and her dress not
much better while her shoes were
almost soleless and about to come to
! pieces. I said 'Good morning," and
I she said 'good morning.' Thei* she
said. 'I beg your pardon madam, but
I I've come a long ways and I haven't
| eaten anything since day before yes
| terday. Could you 'Certaln
ly," I replied, 'come right In and get
I warm. You must be nearly frozen.' I
brought her In and made her sit close

It would not be best (or her to eat
anything very heavy, as hungry as
she must be. It was pitiful Billy to
see that poor starved child eat. She
does look a little like little Nell, and
I couldn't help picturing her, almost
starved to death and begging tor food
as this child is. When she* had eaten
what I gave her, I asked her to have
more. 'No ma'am,' Bhe replied, 'that
was mighty good but I reckon I'll
have to be going now. Thank you,
Just the same.' I asked her where
she was going. 'I don't know.' she
said. "I'm looking tor my mother."
Your mother,' I exclaimed. 'Have you
no home?' 'No ma'am. I haven't any
home. If you would like to hear about
me I'll tell you all about it. Most
folks don't like to hear about me.'
She said that so pitifully Billy. You
would have cried if you bad heard her'
"Poor little homeless wait. I wonder
where she did come from and how
and why and when."
"Well, I can't tell you why but I
can tell you where from and
when," Mrs. Waters replied.
"Of course, I interrupted" he said.
"Go ahead."
"All right. I told her yes, indeed
to tell me all about herself that I'd
be delighted to hear it all." She shiv
