What in the world are you doingT'
demanded Ma, looking at the slow
moving Henry. Are you going 10 put

A few minutes later the procession
started in quest Of gas, Pa marshal

that time included Norah and dear lit

Mother, are you dead?" asked Pa,
in hopeful sort Of voice, as he pound

Next they went to Willie's room and
Johnny's room. No gas. Then to Sis
boudoir and Edythe's boudoir. No gas!
Are you satisfied now, Mrs JONES'"
said Pa, "or do you wish to keep up
the Mummer's parade until we have
gone over the entire route, and passed
the grand stand in the cellar?'
mo, ! am not satisfied" was the
emphatic reply. II smell gas and
am not going to give up the search un-
til find out where it comes from"
The procession then countermarched
to the head Of the stair, passed down
single file, and reconnoitered in the
parlor. No leak was found in the
chandelier, but Pa admitted that the
| atmosphere was little frowsy, and
thought it might possibly be due to an

In the dining room 1t needed no

But you didn't produce any direct
evidence to prove it, Mrs. Jones, re-

What are you going to do with a

symptoms of agitation.

Cat Island Cats.
TESTED AND TRUE-GUARANTE
NOWi Is the time to USE 1T.

On Sable island, off the coast of
Nova Scotia, cats were introduced
about 1880 and rapidly exterminated
the rabbits, which had been in pos
session for at least half a century. In
one of the harbors of Kerguelen Land,
barren and desolate bit of antartic
terra firma to the southeast of the
Cape of Good Hope, cats escaped from
ships have made themselves at homs
on a little islet known as Cat island,
which has long been used as win.
tering place for sealers. Here they
live in holes in the ground, preying
upon sea birds and their young, and
are said to have developed such ex.
traordinary ferocity that it is almost
impossible to tame them even when
captured young.

YESTERDAY.

Ship of To-day! watch you sail
Across the leSsening hours to me-
What storm can those brave wings assail,
What tempest toss that peaceful sea ?
All happy things you seem to bring,
A cargo Of long-sought desires.
Rebirth of joy, glad songs of spring,
And subtle hints Of hidden fires.
Yet stand l silent and apart,
Unwelcoming your fair array,
With eyes turned toward you, but with
heart
Still with the Ship of Yesterday!

THE BORROWED BABY
oNNNNNNN~~N

CR ED pulled his cap down over his
ears and drew on his mittens.
He hoped he would not have
very far TO go. He was out to borrow
baby, and although he was rather
particular as TO what kind he wanted
he did not anticipate any difficulty in
finding one.
He did rather wish it was summer,
for he remembered that he had seen
lot OF babies in the park in the warm
weather, and II would have been easy
work TO borrow one Of these. Now, he
thought, he would have to go to some
house and ask for one.
He had heard the nurse say that if
the baby had lived his pretty step
mother might have rallied, but as it
was they had very little hope Of saw
ing her life.
Ted had not cared particularly for
the baby, but he loved his new sweet
mother very much; he had been with
out one long time and to be little
boy without a mother is very sad.
SO he reasoned that II 1t was on ac-
count Of the loss Of the baby his moth
er might die-he would go out and
borrow one for her, so that she could
get well.
Luck was surely with him. for he
had not gone very far when he saw a
woman come out of house with a
baby in her arms. She stood as If un-
certain which way to go. She was not
very nice woman, Ted thought, but
the baby looked nice, SO he stepped up
TO her and said please, ma am, could
/ borrow your baby for a while?
Lord love it, what's this?" said the
woman, and sat down on the steps
Eyer want to borrow the baby, do
yerf"
"Yes, please, ma'am, l need a baby
very much"
the Dutch! Yer need a baby-well, /
don't. l was just wondering what
place I'd better take this one to-the
'sylum or the station house. Its moth
or lodged in my house, and she went
10 the hospital and died" "Well, she
said, half to herself, "if 1t wouldn't
be an easy thing to get rid of this
kid to give 1t to that other one. Here"
she said suddenly to Ted, take the
baby and run along with it." And she
hurried into the house and shut the
door.
Here, nurse I've brought a baby for
her so she won't die said Ted when
he marched home, very tired, but very
happy at his success.
When the nurse heard his whole
story she took Ted in her arms, to-
gether with the borrowed baby" and,
with mingling of smiles and tears,
said, "I'll try IT,"
She dressed the baby in the pretty
clothes of the little one that was gone
and took it upstairs to the sick wom-
an. With a sigh of content the invalid
clasped it to her and went to sleep-a
quiet, deep sleep which spoke Of re-
covery.
II 'spose, father" said Ted one day,
when his mother was pronounced out
OF danger, Il 'spose it's time to return
the baby" He looked troubled as he
said it, for the baby had won large
place in his heart.
NO" said his father. II think, Ted
i think We'll keep your borrowed
baby'-forever.' Sun.

in financing the project to build new

by the Public Service Corp@ation in
carrying passengers from here to the
