The Renown is due at Bom. bay November 17. After leaving In- dia, the prince will. go to Japan, to return the recent state visit to Eng- land of the mikado’s heir. King George and Queen Mary ac- companied their son to Victoria sta- tion, where he took the train to Portsmauth. ‘The duke of York and Prince Hen- ty said good-bye to their brother at Portsmouth, and after receiving ad- dresses of welcome, Godspeed and safe return, the prince inspected guards of honor, took leave of the host of high naval, military and state Officials, and gave the signal to cast off. His royal highness was wearing the uniform of captain of the navy. Among the royal staff are Rear Admirai Sir Lionel Halsey, comptro}- Jer of the household; G, I’. de Mont- morency and Sir Godfrey Thomas, secretaries; earl of Cromer, veteran statesman, wise in the ways of the Fast, chief of staff. A special staff composed of Indian princes will re- port for duty at Bombay. ‘The Renown ia commanded by Cap- tain Meade, and among the junior officers is Prince Charles of Belgium, second son of King Albert, who, serv- ing as a cadet in the British navy, was specially attached to the Renown | , for @ complimentary “joy-ride.” OS ANGELES, Oct. 26—A mother walked over 1,800 miles of the old Santa Fe trail to save her m a lifetime in prison, owing that her mission was almost at an end, the white-haired old lady—foot-sore, dust-covered, hungry and tired—almost collapsed in the lobby of the Alexandria hotel yesterday. dust a few steps furthert Only a few mifutes more! Would the busy man upstairs help her? For the first time since she left her humble tit- tle home in Denver she feared that she might FAIL! For ¢ first time did the veins in her swollen legs ache. Her sore feet were almost coming thru the soles of a second pair of shoes that had worn out during the journey, What Could She Know of Night Life? “Is District Attorney Brady of San Francisco here?” she asked timidly of the clerk. “What can that old lady know of night life tn Las Angeles?” thought a few bystanders who were watching various persons calling on San Francisco's prosecutor, It was known that he was here gather ing data to aid his prosecution of Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle on a chargé of responsibility for Virginia Rappe's death, The tired mother was ushered to his suite, Mer wait was short. The district attorney would seo her. “Are you Mr. Brady?" she asked of the be- spectacled prosecutor, He smiled at her warmly—said he was. He Pressed the withered hand of the white-haired wom- an—noted her dusty worn clothes, tried to make her feel at case, Shadow Spreads Over Face of Brady She reached into her big handbag where she car. ried her necessities, She found what she was looking for after a brief search, Tt was a tiny paper medallion with the face of Christ printed on it. She crushed ft into District . In astonshment he looked “I am Allen McDonnell’s mother,” sald the wom- an simply. Tears came to her eyes. They were the tears of sorrow. A shadow By ELEANOR THE SEATTLE STAR M. BARNES “What do you want me to do?” finally asked Brady in a dry voles. “What can you do!" she pleaded, “Can't you help him, He w t a bad boy. He was my son, He must spend 50 years in prison, Can he never get out?” én a heap she fell in the chair—this heroic old mother who had swallowed her pride, and survived the long weary Journey over the old Indian path, across the mountains, over the plains, thra the strange paths that lead to California, unable to go further, “The Best of the Lot,” He Says, Soothingly The district attorney bit his lip. What could he do? Ut had been his bitter gaying of the erime com- mitted by the gangsters thit had placed the culprit behind prison bars for a lifetime, “L will say, if lt will make you feet better, that your son was the best of the lot—he was least guilty of any of them,” said Brady, his arms about the sor: rowing mother, She was sobbing now. She took a travel-stained handkerchief from the pocket of her petticoat 16 wipe hee red-rimmed eyes. After blowing her breath on her spectacles, she polished the lenses on the woolen skirt of her green-black suit, She was nerv- ous, but her cause was great, she belleved—just. “Let me see,” said Brady, balancing his “specs” on his finger, while he thought out « plan to help this mother who had sacrificed much for a worthless son, He Promises Her to Ask for Parole It seemed an eternity to ber, watching the man's face for an answer, This way the second verdict that the mother had waited for, The first one sent her son to prison—would the second one get him out? “It will soon be » year since he was sentenced,” sald Brady, “When that time is up it will be possl- ble to ask for parole, if he has so conducted himself as to be eligible for parole. For your sake 1 shall personally appear before the parole board and plead that he be pardoned, Your sacrifice lk worth any effort on my part. I will do it for you, In honor of my own mother,” Allen MeDonnell's mother turned pale—she could hardly stand alone Her swollen legs bulged over the tops of her worn shoes, but her face reflected the relief her heavy heart felt at the kindness of San Ba savings on hundreds of daily needs. and smart.
