Moseley was suddenly awakened by ON
nous barking sound from the crib that
nearly started her out of her wits. She
recovered herself, however, enough to dig

his eyes confusedly in the dark.

He fumbled around, lit the gas, got out
his doctors shop, aud, in his slippers and
short night-shirt, and with his hair all awry,
hunted among the C.'s in the index of the
"manual," racing the forefnger of one hand
up and the column in q most GREATNESS
hurry. and using the other hand to scratch
his leg.
"Cl cup, ten pellets, number 10, in six
dessert spoonfuls of water-one every half
hour" said he when he found the place.
The mother was 500 hing her little one,
and beseeching him to b. quick, which, Of
course, helped him along wonderfully.
He hunted in the case Cor bottle number 10.

spoon, nearer the light Although the
stopper read H. the label on the bottle said
''2l asthma" Tnis he discovered AS he
was pouring out the pills. He could only
gasp bis asionishment as he flew back,
brought The chest TO the light, commenced
q hasto examination and found his drug
store in The most chaotic state-stoppers,
bolt es, and places all in the greatest con-
fusion, while some Of the bottles were
wonderfully full and others as wonderfully
low.
"Joe! Joe! what are you doing?' said
the mother in agonized acben's 'Qick
Joe, quick or the baby will di", l an sure

The perspration WAS standing out in
great beads on Moseley's forehead as he
wildly pulled out bottle after bottle in his
search.
"Oh, DUN nit! The medicines are ell
mix up and IL cant understand it," he
at nnh waited in frightened lone as
the poor baby went into another spasm of
cou. hing.

and spoon and stirring the water with
out the least idea of wha he was doing.
Presently the girl came down. and re-
ceiving her directions through The crack Of
the door from Moseley, went quickly about
her brands, impelled by her love for The
sick child.
Don't you think we'd better get some
more clothes on ?" said Mosel Y, Sliding in

proceeding by his scared and bewildered
expression of face.

been given TO him.
