sand, carrying a baby, called him, and
with charming smile asked him 70 take
the little one out for dip. He took tbs
child and despite its cries carried IL int,
the water He returned in flew moments
to the young mother, and after a short
chat took the child again at her request
to dip it into deeper water When he

TO find that the Young woman was gone
After hunting everywhere for her he pu
on his clothes and started for the city
