The fact that he was a temperamental lad and had been possessed with the belief that he. was a round peg in a square hole had led all those who loved him to believe that he had merely disappeared of his own volition but had not met with accident or foul play. When the big table was fairly groaning under its weight of food and the turkey lay brown and tempting on the platter In front of Mr. Morton's place there was not a member of the party who did not want to quote the trite old lines, "There Is no fireside, howsoe'er defended, but has one vacant chair." But no one said a word about the absent Tom. "It is so nice te be Included In your family party today," said Beth as she "We couldn't think of anything else your own family so far away," said Mrs. Morton, kindly. A general discussion of drumsticks and turkey anatomy followed as each of the children tried to be polite and yet make it known to father which part he preferred. "Tom always liked the part that goes "over the fence last," piped up Johnny, the youngest Morton, regardless of the danger of bringing tears to his mother's eyes. "He did, dear," said his mother with trembling voice. But she smiled. "How about a little music while we eat, son," said the father after he had helped himself to what was left of the bird. David, the family radio enthusiast, was only too eager to tune in something and drag forth from, the air some of his favorite music. ' % "Nothing like a little good music tb jau up a family party." he said, turning the dials with masterly-hand. He got a station that advertised a good dinner program, and resumed his seat. One piece of popular music followed another with announcements in between and it was not long before the Morton fhmiiy had shaken off Its haunting loneliness for the absent Tom and was enjoying the program and the dinner. Suddenly came a voice from the loudspeaker-- a voice that startled every member of the family--and Beth. It was, undoubtedly, Tom Morton's voice. "Anyone wishing to request 'special numbers from any of our artists may call Shopkins 8888," Tom's voice said after a number of singers had done their bit. ° Mr. Morton, rose quickly and went to the telephone in the rear hall.' . The family seated around the dwindling dinner was pathless with Interest and excitement By the smiie she saw on Mr. Morton's face and the trace of tears in his fine eyes, the mother knew that there was no bad;news of her'son. Mr. Mortoh sat down before he told his story. Tom, it seems, had become dissatisfied with his slow1 progress in the home town and was ashamed to keep on moving from one failure to another and, in spite of what he knew was not the right way to do It, he had left to try some work he had always felt would be in his line--managing a sort of spectacular advertising department for a large store. r He had found a berth in a city nearby and had been very successful in conducting a radio studio for his" firm.

Ellis island, in New York harbor about a mile southwest of the Battery,- was known to the Algonquin Indians as Kloshk or Gull Island. In the Seventeenth <*enterry court minutes of New Amsterdam it Is referred to as. Oyster island, and It was generally so, known until th«e latter part of the Eighteenth century, when it became the property of Samuel Ellis, a butcher living in Manhattan. An advertisement shows that Ellis, owned the island as early as February 21, 178f>. A statute enacted in 1807 In reference to the fortifications in New York bay referred to Ellis island by Its present name. The following year the federal government bought the island from the state of New York and for many years kept on It a powder magazine. It was not until. 1891 that it was first converted into an immigrant station. Castle Garden, the original immigrant station, burned down and the present buildings were erected in 1897. An immigration commissioner has his offices on Ellis island, and aliens detained In connection with the Immigration laws are kept*there nntii they are deported or permitted to land.
