over they found -it bitterly cbld. the

are valuable,, worth about £200 j

fancies them, .but ,,they arp>certainly
not the sort'-of thing that one would

. “But what else could he have been
after?” asked the girl, a perplexed
"frown gathertag above her blue, eyes;
“That beats me,,r replied her fath-.

trouble purely on-sjiec. These fellows
plan their raids-carefully, and ypu
may be sure they kri.ow exactly what
it Is they aye afte^* every; time.”
“Perhaps he was intending to bur

three were all> downstairs together,”
suggested Adam, though all the time
.he was feeling, that his suggestion
failed entirely to meet the case.

up the remaining steps like a young

Except for the faint gleam of the

nearly an hour; ./
The ; mother of little Helen and
small Philip was nearly frantic.
“They were so hot I scarcely cov
ered them,” she worried. “The baby
has on Gofie bf her thiri highties ahd
no stockinge or sweater. . Philip’s
bed is so' close to the window, he’ll
have a dreadful cold. Hurry, can’t
you1?’* .. J
_ WORRY-WAS NEEDLESS -
Mother gets up the icy walk and
into the house, then flic, upstairs
to the nursery. The windows are
down. Both children are asleep and
hovered. The baby is wearing a
sweater. Philip is sleeping peace
fully.
Greta comes to her door and says,'
“You’re home, Mrs. Brown. I cov
ered the children and closed the
windows. But the furnace went out,
and I couldn’t get it started again.”
“You’re a good girl, Greta. Never
mind the furnace. Mr. Brown will
soon .get it. going: The children are
fine. Thanks for looking “after >them
so well. I have been worried. But
it is all5 right how, so go to bed.
Goodnight, Greta.’*- /
Mrs. Brown fixed the' window
away from the wind, putting in the
muslin screen. She tucked the
chiidreh-in safely and securely, and
breathed a little prayer of thankful
ness that Greta had kept such
feet vigil. ■

Juvenile Court
Judge Defended
By Mrs. Roosevelt

Roosevelt recently defended' a woman
juvenile court. judge who sent two
15?year-old boys to the National
^raiirin’^S?^^17SfteF7tiTey^eni^oy’
riding’’ in a policeman’s automobile.
Mrs. Roosevelt entered a contro-
fversy whjch has aroused citizens to“
the extent of petitioning for a recon-,
sideration, of the. youths’* case before
Judge Fay„ Bentley. The citizens
were exercised by the fact that the
boys Apparently were sentenced to six
years each. r \
Mrs. Roosevelt explained that un
der the District of . Columbia law,
, jqvenile offenders must be commit
ted to thenttfixhirig school for an in
definite term “Suring their minor
ity” and that z school- officials then
determine (when the boyg should be
released. The judge, “she pointed out
had rio alternative when she finds
by previous investigation that a
boy’s family., cannot manage him.
“I have—every-confidence-in -Judge----
Bentley,” said Mrs. Roosevelt, who
.was nimored to have had a part in
the appointment , pf the juvenile
•judge.” While I have not investigated
"the case, feef that she-would not
have • cdi$mitted the . children if she
had felt their parents were able to "
deal, with them. I am quite sure that
if she .had felt there was anything
else to be done, she would have' done'
it." ■.
Attorneys for - the boys, William
F. Fanning, 15, and Arthur P.-Fan
ning, 15, filed a motion to . vacate the
...decision, and Rep, Jennings Randolph
