 He imported an aged relative of the feminine persuasion to look after the baby, and hired a waiter with whom he had grown familiar at his restau- rant, to 70 out and do the cooking and 6re building.
 Most of the people in the ofice felt rather sorry for Farley, in spite of his evident joy. But he bore the hurried rush for his suburban cars, the long rides, and the lack of many of his old amusements with a smile. and, if he minded, he never told. Tn some ways paxiey was . hero.
 When the baby first arrived upon the scene he had remarked to his eronies. inside the office and out of it. that as soon as the youngster became interesting they should come out.
 It was Jenkins who first noticed the ehanSe in Paxley. Jenkins was too busy, both at home and at work. to zee much of the other fellows. so when he did happen to wake up and look at them he was the more apt 10 notice slight changes. And In July he an- nounced that Paxiey was looking tired. When Jenkins spoke of it. the rest re- slized that it was true.

Paxley was very fond of children. Everybody knew that, from the scrub woman, who invariably did him out of sundry dollars when there was an extra cold spell in winter or a par ticularly unhealthy spell in summer. to the chief himself. who always showed him the latest pictures of his own small flock and let Flossie, the smallest, go to the big outer office to kiss ''her Paxie" whenever she came downtown to visit.
 { At the same time, Paxley abhorred women. and insisted that he would never marry. People said 1t was too bad, for Paxley made a good. com fortable salary, was well enough to look at, and as steady chap as one would care to meet. Paxley himself always declared that he was going to devote himself to an orphan asylum, and actually haunted two or three un- til scared of from each by a success sion of willy and designing nurses, who made his life burden. Then he fell back on newsboys and stray acquaint- ances of the parks and street cars. until one morning he electrified the office with the news that he had ac- Quired a baby.
 T really suppose ought to feel nournful," said he. as he explained matters to the interested but bewil- dered crowd that gathered about him; "but I'm not-I'm gleeful! You sec it's this way. The baby's my cousins. You remember, maybe, that had . cousin who died last spring? We'll, this kid was only about a month old at the time. Now. eight months later. the mother dies, too. She had no pa rents. My cousin hadn't any. There's no one for that blessed baby to fall back on but me! And I've got him!" Paxley went systematically to work to enjoy his new blessing.
 He left his comfortable bachelor apartments, where he had been en-

and the doctor rose and stared across the table at the rest impressiveiy. Pax knows what he's about. Don't meddle." And he stalked away.
 When Paxley came back. 1t was easy to see that the vacation had done him not the least particle of good. He was not only tired-he was thin. and there was something fierce, and yet pitiful about his eyes. The boys got over joking with him as they nad done. and nobody spoke of his privare affairs. especially after little Cummins suggested that 1t was time the great and only James Chesterley Braden should be put on exhibition.
 Paxley glared at him so darkly, ana turned the subject in such a queer, unhappy sort of way. that after that nobody mentioned the child again. till Paxley himself began to do 1t
 It was after Jenkins had been tell ing of some of the funny sayings or his little brood.
 "Jim gets of a good thing ocossion- ally. now he's beginning to talk, said Paxley, and every one felt better. IL was SO unusual not to be able to talk about anything and everything with Paxley.
 The next day he had some bright saying to retail, that made the boys laugh heartily and honestly-not the conventional. giggle that Is generally reserved for such accounts of juvenile wit.
 Paxiey smiled. Tn fact. Haines. still resentful. asserted that he smirked like a self-satisfed woman. But things were easier al any rate.. and from that time on. Paxley talked of the boy freely. and told store Of funny things that became famous throughout the office.
 The respect for "Paxley's kid" grew. That he was an exceptionally bright and clever little fellow everybody ad- mitted. and cummins. who went ont with Pax and the doctor one Sunday night and saw she boy in his crib. gave an enthusiastic account of his beauty.
 The crash came one stormy Decem- Der night. when Peyley bad been pa rent-in-lav. as the boys expressed 1t, for abou; year.
 A number of his friends. Haines, one CT two more from the office. and others who were members of his club were gathered aEain in the library as they had been the summer before.
