In the case of Ascher his uncle died 20 years ago in London, after accumulating a fortune of great, magnitude. For these 20 years the search for Ascher has been almost ■world-wide, and it was only by a chance that he came to know M his heritage. Six months ago Mrs. Ascher t eeclv. i ed a letter from a friend In Germany near the place where she was born saying that a family of the name of MOTHER SMILES AT DEATH THAT SPARESHER BABY One Fatality and Injuries To Five Mark Collapse of Houses.

With her slender figure held up right ny encompassing stone and tim ber, under the awlnl weight of which her life was ebbing, last, she kept her eyes upon the little one, resting in a baby coach amid heaps of do bris, until escaping illuminating gns brought her suffering to an end Nearly every bone in her body was afterwards found to be bjoken As the mother, who was little more than a girl, died, the bahy began to cry and her grandaunt, pinned down in an armchair nearby, forgetting the pain caused by a broken leg and in ternal Injuries, tried to soothe her. It was the grandaunt's hand that probably saved the child’s life, for when a heavy hoard, loosened from above, descended towards the baby's head, she reached out and thrust it aside. The heroism of the young woman and the grandaunt, whose life in hanging by a thread to the (larreston hospital, brought tears to the eyes of two men who wcj-c digtlng their way through the debris towards them. ly mourned She leaves a husband, Mr. Henry llsher. and an adopted son, Mr. M.
