A trench has now been cut through the

ed the basket. 81 want to count-Gra-
cious heavens what is this?' he cried
suddenly, springing up as if he had
stepped on something alive then he sank
down in an armchair, and sat staring
vacant!y before him. In the basket lay
a sleeping infant apparently about eight
months old. AS soon as had recovered
from my first aStonishment, I bent down
over it anu regarded it attentively. It
was beautiful, healthy looking child,
not mere formless mass of fat
with hastily sketched features, as babes
of that age are apt to be. Its face
was of exquisite finish, straight we'll
modelled little nose, softly defined
dimpled little chin, and fresh, finely
curved month, through which the even
breath, came and went with quiet,
hardly perceptible rythm. 1t was all
as sweet as Tennysonian stanza. The
little Waif won my heart at once, and il
was a severe test ofmy self-denial that
| had to repress my desire to kiss it.
| somehow felt that my friend ought to
be the first to recognize it as member
of his household.
"Storm,' said looking at his pale,
vacant face. ct is a dangerous thing
to covet ones neighbours child. But, if
you don't adopt this little dumb suppl
cant, ! fear you will tempt me to break
the tenth commandment. believe there
is clause there about coveting child
rem"
Storm opened his eyes wide, and with
an effort to rouse himself pushed back
the chair and knelt down at the side Of
the basket With gentle movement
he drew off tie cover under which the
child slept. and discovered on its
bosom a letter which he eagerly seized.
AS he glanced at The direction on the
envelope, his face underwent a marvel
Gus change; it was as if mask had
suddenly been removed revealing new
type of warmer, purer and tenderer
manhood.

broke forth otter a long meditative

on the subject, never quite could un-

usually of the quality of oatmeal, and

"They are horrid,' Iquoted promptly.
Gamer" he added with a contented
chuckle. Il never could see the ap-
proprlateness Of the Bible precept about
coveting your neighbot's wife, he re-
sumed after another brief silence. 81,
for my part, never found my neighbours
wife worth coveting, But will admit
that | have, in a few instances, felt in
clined to covet my neighbors child. No
amount of pessimism can quite fortify a
man against the desire to have children.

We sauntered on for more than an
hour, now plunging into deep masses Of
shadow, now again emerging into cool
pathways of light. The conversation
turned on variuos topics, all OF which
Storm tonched with kindlier humor
than was his wont. The world was a
failure, but for all that, it was the part of
a wise man to make the best Of it as it
was. The clock in some neighborlng
tower struck ten; we took the street
car and rode home. AS we were about
to alight Il first and Storm following
closely after meg, I noticed woman

General Notes.

Can't. Carnes, President of the Mem
phis league bal club, was questioned
yesterday by an APPEAL reporter IN
regard to the rumor that a new PARK
would be provided for the coming sea-
son. He said that the matter was not
positively settled, but he had every
reason to believe it would be In q few
DAYS. The Citizens Street Railway
Company has a piece OF ground, $40
by 40 feet, near the hospital, which
they propose to fix up for the club Tree
of charge, the company having al
ready appropriated 5000 for the pur-
pose Of grading, fencing and building
a grand stand. II will be in ten min
utee' ride by the new Madison
street-car line from Court Square. The
company will put in a switch and pro-
vide a number Of open cars, to hold
fifty persons each. The idea OF hav-
ing a park on the street-car line is a
good one, but it does seem hardship
that DIR. Laurence, after having fixed
up park az big expense, upon the
assurance that baseball once started
would run on forever, should be left
with the bag to hold. Cycle Park is
beautifully located, the highest point
anywhere in the suburbs, and would
be as we'll pstronized as park nearer
the city, if the cars ran out to it,
which the Citizens Company could
do at lees expense than buying an
other piece of ground and building
fences and q grand stand. Except for
DR.. Laurence there would have been
no league club in Memphis last sea
son. All efforts to induce other par
ties to go the necessary expense were
futile

CrOsby's Dime Museum.

The coterie OF tattooed people proved
to be a magnet Of great potency, and
Yesterday afternoon and evening drew
the largest audiences ever seen at the
Museum. The effective grouping OF
the picturesquely bedizened men and
women in the hall and Snnex on the
second floor attracts the immediate
attention OF visitors of artistic taste.
The tattoo,se are gsily costumed ex-
cept where it is necessary to show the
decorated epidermis. 1t is almost az
interesting as the entertainment itself
to note the wondering remarks of the
audience, especially those hailing from
the rural districts. Even TO the most
intelligent toe spectacle is remark
able one and which well repays the
attention bestowed on it.
One of the most interesting OF
the tattooed people is Frank De
Burge, who is called the "Burmeae
T4ttooed Man" He was born in
Bristol, England, Of Irish parentage.
He enlisted in the British army when
he was seventeen years old, and was
one of the seniinels on guard, at Os-
DOTue IlOube, 1915 VI wight Wueid no
had frequent gliDp5es OF Queen Vic
toria and the royal family. In 1869
he went with his regiment, III. M. 3
105th Infantry, to India, and remained
there four years. From Calcutta he
went to Alden, Arabia, in 1872, and
served there for two years. There
may be hotter place than Alden in

The season for quail shooting in
this city closes March 18th, aud in
Arkansas on March LIST. A few ducks
are now being bagged on their north
ward fight. They take one meal here
in passing and the next thousand
miles away. Those who expect to
have any snipe shooting this season
have no time to lose.
Every year the game laws are more
strictly enforced. Nobody except
pot hunters kill game out Of season,
and except for this fact quail would
he scarcer than they are, They are
disappearing very rapidly anyway.
Turf eys, which used 10 be so plenti'
full, are nearly extinct. In the fields
further north, there is an even greater
scarcity of game, and nearly all the
sporting papers contain advertise
ments for live birds to breed from.
