A Story of the Street.

The policeman had been saying some-
thing in general way about foundlings
when he bit off big piece of hard to-
bacco and went ON as follows:
81 had lively time getting one baby
to the Home last summer. The people
living in house over on Adams street
found it in basket on their doorstep
early one evening, and just as the gen
tleman started out to carry it to the
station he came across me on the cor
| ner. Then he wanted me to take it,
so wrote down his name and address,
and was walking along toward the
Home just by Jefferson Park. and
thinking of nothing in particular, when
felt q hand on my arm and, looking
down, who should l see but girl with
big shawl over her head and her big
eyes a-looking at me.
"'Where are you taking the babyT
says she.
"'How do you know it's q babyp
says |.
II had put on a mighty solemn air,
and she began to cry. just then the
baby cried too, and | began to feel as
though I'd pay q months salary to be
down on Halsted street breaking heads.
The minute the baby cried the girl
set up shout louder than ever, and 1
says: =
Whist, now, be off with you. Tn
going to the Foundlings' Home
"Well, sir, with that she grabbed the
basket off my arm that quick that [
couldn't stop her, and struck for the
park, with me after her. Pretty soon
| lost her and then l whistled for help.
When another officer came we gave the
park thorough going over and at last
we found her under one of the bridges,
holding the baby tight to her breast.
Then she cried and begged us to leave
her alone. She then confessed that she
had put the baby on the door step;
that it was hers, and that she had re-
pented of it the moment she saw the
little thing taken in.
''We thought at first that we would
have to call the wagon for her, but af-
ter while my partner says, I'VE better
let 'em 60. It's all square, That's
question for the Captain, says /. So
we took her up to the station and when
she had told her story and promised
never to abandon the child we let her
go.
"She had to walk about q mile and a
half to her home and though I had to
travel a good part of the way to get
onto my beat again she wouldn't let
me carry the baby rod. She just
hugged it close and cried every step Of
the way. Chicago Herald.
