A few days ago . baby left town by

nurse. But these didn't count. for It
was q first baby. The dining-car at
tachmcnt to the baby's train was u
nursing-bottle.
The members Of the gronp had dis
posed themselves comfortably in the
car. and it was just drawing out of the
station. when the nurse discovered that
the baby's nursing-bot was missing.
Search was made for it everywhere
on the floor, in the bags, even in tho
pockets Of the unhappy father: there
was the nice little pail of cold milk in

package of baby food, there was every
thing but the bottle.

"And she's too little to drink thing"
walled the young mother
Under such unusual circumstances of
storm and stress as this, there was but
one thing to do-to call the porter. And
they did il.
The porter reflected. They might
telegraph on to the next station, he
finally suggested: Telegraph TO the
station master to have . man meet the
train with a baby's nursing bottle"
''Oh. yes" gaspel the mother with an
air of relief.
'Just the thing" said the father
gladly. and followed the grinning porter
down the car.

when the first station he had tele-
graphed to was reached in came a youth
with q nursing bottle. Il was put 70
work at once, and quiet brootled over the
car. At the next station there came in a
youth with q nursing bottle. This was
gladly received as urderstudy for the
first in case Of disaster. When the
train stopped again. another nursing
bottle appeared in the doorway. Then
the passengers began to smile. and the
next station began to be anticipated by
them.

most prominent person on the station

pushed his clay aside. But Carlyle
had been drawn on to talk and to for
