That Blessed Baby.

Mrs. Blossom is very proud of her baby,
which she describes as the cutest and cum
ningest little thing" This merely by way
of identification and to distinguish him from
all otner babies, which are we'll known to
be of a very different sort.
MIR. Blossom does not show as much inter-
est in his offspring, but when the little fell
low became Ill the other night he got up
and attended to him while the mother slept
peacefully, in ignorance OF the awful crisis.
In the morning Mrs. Blossom noticed that
the infants face had changed from its usual
color The cardinal red, with shrimp pink
trimmings, had resolved itself into an old
gold and purple founced affair.

"Oh, Charley, how could you let me

exclaimed, in tones tremulous with motherly
anxiety.
Well replied Mr.. Blossom, who never
loses a chance for joke, I'll tell you. l

An ashen pallor spread over Banville's
face. He seemed upon the point of falling,
but the chair saved him. He leaned heavily
upon it for an instant, then turned and
dashed out of the room. As he stopped to
lift George from his crib the soft, sweet,
mysterious odor of baby's flesh reached his
nostrils and deep, smothered cry, half
groan, half sob, escaped his lips. but he did
not hesitate. He wrapped the soft coyerlet
around the child, and making his way back
to the salon thrust him almost fereely into
his mothers arms, and. following her up
closely, pushed her out upon the landing.
As the door closed he wheeled about, but
ere he had taken step pitched forward,
falling full length and lifeiess to the floor.
