Sister Ellice had not very much
faith in men. Probably the life she
led as superintendent of a "woman's
and children's hospital" in a great
city tended to cultivate an antlpathy
toward the stronger sex She saw so
much misery and wretchedness OF
which she deemed that sex the cause.
women with blighted lives and little
nameless, fatherless babies
All the more astonishing was it..
therefore, when Sister Ellice adopted
a baby-Sister Ellice-who never paid
any attention to babies in general save
to see that they made their proper ad-
vent into the world and we're properly
cared for.
1t happened in this wise. There
came to the hospital one day forlorn
looking young creature with the ugly
word "forsaken'' written all over her,
from the pallor of her thin, pretty face
to the faded stripes other shawl and
the rents of her shabby dress. She
seemed to shrink away from the scru-
tiny of Sister Ellice's clear, gray eyes
seen austerely through her gold
trimmed glasses and looked relieved
when one of the younger nurses took
her in charge for a bath and a change
of clothing.
Some days later the baby came, a
tiny mite of girl, but before any one
realized what had happened the
mother was dead.
What was to be done with it? Sis
ter Ellice agreed to take charge of it
for a night or two until a decision
could be made.
The night or two expanded into a
month or two and still the baby did
not go, and finally it came to be an
understood thing that the baby was
not going at all. OF course it was
quite unaccountable that the superin-
tendent should have taken such a
fancy to that stray bit of humanity,
. but it was a fact nevertheless.
No mother could have been more
devoted; she lowered over it, tended
it constantly, whispered all manner of
nothings into its pink ears and gave
1t the name of Blossom.
Blossom was nearly a year old and
was beginning to .toddle about, to
great delight of Sister Ellice, who de-
clared her to be the prettiest, sweet
est and most forward child that ever
lived, when a man came to the hos
pital and inquired for the superin-
beHuenC-
81 came to inquire about a woman
you had here about a year ago, name
of Harriet Watson; 1 heard she died.
His voice grew husky. They told me
two or three days ago when l was
here before and they said 1 must see
you about the baby You was out
then
The face under the nurses cap grew
as pale as death. Had this man come
for Blossom, her baby? Why hadn't
they told her so that she could hide
the baby where he could never find it
WHO are you-her brother?" heI
dry lips managed to fashion.
I'm her husband. ma'am."

she was not married"

his hat.
