Sloane, formerly Miss Vanderbilt For
months the Sloane house has been hooded
In canvas, and the passersby have been
wondering what was going on. The casual
observer will never really know what has

few bites taken ont of the wall and filled
with great stained glass windows and the
rechiseling of the carved stone work will
be about all THAT he will see and yet a
million dollars will,not pay for all the work

glance at the child told him that he had
come too late Diphtheria was there, and
the most that could be done would be 10
ease the final struggle of life and deatl'.
The child had intervals OF consciousness,
and during one of these he looked up at
the physician and in a hoarse little voice
said:
docs 90 want to see my trunk? I has
it right here, and ye little BIRDS is sound
aseep."
One little hand found its way under the
pillow ans drew forth the draggled re-
mains of what had been two tiny stuffed
birds. AT the same time the child pointed
to an object held tightly in his other arm,
and which he clasped lovingly TO his breast
1t was ittle trunk. The mother with
sob. explained to the doctor that the little
trunk and the birds were the baby's cher
ished playthings.
HE got them. sir" she said, lone day on
trunk. and Vt seems some wedding folks
hail them for favor like. At any rate,
The bride and the groom threw them away
from their carriage. and Willie. there, got
them. sir. II YOU could have seen how
pleased HE was and he came running home
to show me. Every night he has gone to
bed with the two birds under his pillow,
hugging the little toy trunk to his poor
lttle heart. OH, sir. he was that tender OF
them. you'd a thought they was all alive"
Tbs mothers grief prevented further
words. and when she next raised her head
from a long paroyysm of weeping, the life
spark Of her baby boy had gone out for
ever Alone the young physician had
watched the little traveler start on his long
journey. Very tenderly he begged the
mother to give him the toy trunk and the
little birds. and the physician and his wife
