A BEAUTIFUL sIsTERHooD.
The Kind Act Of a Kings Daughter on An
Elevated Railroad Train

The Kind Act OF a Kings Daughter on An
Elevated Railroad Train.
On an elevated train the other day a
glimpse was had of a kind act. the dOer
of which little suspected that she was
noticed. Among the passengers was a
sweet-faced young woman, dressed in
fresh but not deep mourning. such as
one might wear for young child At
one of the stations another woman got
on carrying baby. Both were clean
" but poorly dressed, the baby partic-
ularly needing warmer garments than
its bingham dress for the sharp air of
the day. IL wore no hat, little shawl
pinned over its head serving for hat and
cloak as we'll
The pair were seated directly oppo-
site the lady in black, whose gaze wa
soon riveted upon them. She watched
the baby as if she could not take her
eyes from it and when a shifting of
passengers left a vacant seat on one
side of the mother she crossed and took
it.
''What bright baby" she said, lean
ing toward It; how old is sheY' with
soft smile at the pleased mother.
The woman told her.
ABR said the first speaker, my
baby was a month older. But she was
no larger. Then she bent down and
smiled In the baby's eyes letting its
little hand clasp one of her gloved fin
gers There is little coat and warm
cap, she said, speaking low and rap
idly, will you give me your address
and let me send it to you?"
The woman scarcely caught her
meaning.
Quick, please, leave at the next
station" urged the other, still playing
with the baby.
Hesitatingly then and flushing lit
tie, an address was given A low
Thank you" was the reply and then
the train slowed up.
The involuntary listener and assist
ant at the little scene saw the black
robed figure pause a moment on the
platform outside and take up tablet
attached to her belt, evidently to write
down the address As she did so a
glimpse was had, too of a silver cross
and tiny knot of purple ribbon, which
showed in whose name the dead baby's
garments were offered. If this is the
spirit of all the Kings Daughters what
a beautiful sisterhood it isl-N. Y. Sun.
