A Baby Story.

A chfldless woman whose devotion TO
other peoples children is proyerbial among
her friends one chilly day met IN a
Fulton street shop the enyied mother Of
one of her little pets. After greetings she
inquired for the small Harold, was told
that he was well and was, IN fact, ut that
moment sleeping ia his carriage at the shop
entrance, his mother having brought him
shopping with her in the temporary loss
Of a nurse.
What a heartless thing to doW ex-
claimed the other, this very cold day
Oh, it takes you favored mothers to neglect
your treasures"
In few minutes the two separated, but
the thought OF the little one, chilled per
haps and suffering, so Wore upon the
woman who was not its mother that she
resolved 70 go to tue door and bring the
baby in. Hurrying to the entrance, she
picked the sleeping infant out Of its downy
rugs and was carrying IL, lovingly and
tightly held, when a distracted woman
breathlessly seized her.
Give me my baby What do you mean,
you wretched womanW
Surprised, but confident it was her
friends baby she was protecting she re-
pulsed the woman with, "This is not your
baby; il is Mrs. b. . baby. What do you
meant"
The other woman became nearly frantic
and the scene was on the point of touching
the tragic when Mrs. b. herself appeared
The words of her friend had aroused her
maternal fears, and she, too, had started
to ascertain how her little one Jared in the
chilly vestibuIe. In moment she had
released the friend from tho unpleasant
accusation by disowniDg the baby in her
arms and pointing 10 her child still sleep
ing in a carriage whose style and belong
ings were very similar 10 the one from
which the jealous friend had stolen a
baby. The mother Of the latter only half
listened TO the explanation and went of,
glancing back As If she feared a renewal OF
what she evidently hrmly believed was an
attempt at kidnapping. York Times
