1t is a dumb-waiter-not for dishes,

street there comes a wretched mother.
What shall she do with the infant In

investigation. Shall she put baby on

No; everybody in Paris is aware OF

She waits until there is not soul

up to the dumb-waiter. 1t is at the
height Of mothers waist.
She shifts baby to 1t. She hesitates.
It must be done. She pulls bell rope.
No bell Is heard; but the dumb-waiter
slides to one side-and the baby dis
appears!
Perhaps the poor mother stands and
looks moment at the hole. All she
can see is just another waiting box

is waiting for another baby. But, in

knows her infant is already warm and
