q bright glare all around as the light of
an ordinary lamp would, but there was
no lantern about 1t nordid human hand

Investigators who lay In walt for it saw

The Sunday Stars "Man About Town"
is responsible for the following;
On Wednesday last . smooth faced,
boyish-l00king young man stood near
the corner OF Fifth and Market streets
with an infant In his arms. The baby
was at peace with itself and all the world
btaides. but the young man did not up.
pear to be 10 well satisfied. lie looked
quite anxious and III ut ease. lie had
been standing there with the baby In his
arms for at least hali.an-hour when two
young men, who had been watching him
IRON the opposite corner, crossed over
and walked up to him.
u say, old chappis, where did you get
"a young lady asked me to hold II for
her while sfe went into Adams u
Bro. answered the young man, and
he began to look rs II he wished he
hadn't been SO accomm odating.
"she did, eh' Well, that's 20. You're
in for 1t, sure" and the two young men
laughed in a way that did not seem at all
pleasing to the ono that held the baby.
Presently one of them said
II guess the best thing you can do IL
to take the child up To the City Hall and
report the case to Chief Swigge,t. The
mother OF that baby has played 1t on you
for sure. She's deserted the child, that q
plain.o
~ don't believe It; sne looked honest
enough" said the holder OF the baby, but
tho expression on his face appeared TO be-
lie his words.
"You don't, eh," was the reply. Then
I'll just bet you dve dollars to one that
she'll not come back.
"lll take that bet," said the young
mAu, and the money was put up.
They waited and waited, but tho young
man with the baby did not lose hope, aud
presently . very trim and neatly dressed
little woman came out Of the store with
her arms full o! bundles.
| "0b, Harry she exclaimed, 81 didn'i
mean TO keep you waiting 60 long. Ha.
baby been good? Come to It muzzer,
poor little DEAR" aud the young mar
passed tho baby over and pocketed The
wager. As the couple walked of, tn,
young men who were left standing
speechless on the corner heard the fond
father say:
"iee, 1t will help to buy that carriag,
for baby you wanted so badly, and then
shall not have to stand holding 1t on tn
