a double surprise awaited him-first,
to find at the top of a plain business
building the most luxurious and beau
tiful habitatlon that lie had ever seen;
second to learn that the painting in
whic, sile was to figure was of his own
patron saint and that 1T was destined
for the walls of the cathedral.
"NIy conception is of st. Patrick in

filled Pat with awe. Was it rig.lt fer
him to pose for such a picture, lie that
had been in prison on hideous acou-
sation from which his name had never
been cleared?
"You have precisely the face and
figure that l want" continued O'Con-
nell. Its the go-lucky, care
free expression that will bother me.
For saint we need some recognition
of the worlds sorrow and evil, and
that must supply from my own inner
consciousness"
"Well, you don't seem to be having
much hard luck right now" remarked
Pat, glancing around the room.
"Oh, I'm rich, If you come to that, -
answered O'Connell lightly, "but there
are other things than money In the
world"
sYes," said Pat. 1--WE had 'em, new
err the money"
1t may have been O'Connell's notion
Of him as an easy going fellow who
had never taken any sorrow to heart
that diverted him from telling any
part of his story. In such circum-
stances 1T would sound like wall an
appeal for sympathy. and Pat despised
a wilmer. Therefore he held his peace

thought Pat. 81 must not quarrel with
that fellow. It's my little girls bread
that I'd be quarreling with. I'll not
ride in his car. I'll walk up and
down."
This was the most momentous deci-
sion that Pat ever made. He walked
down that day when O'Connell dis
missed him for luncheon. "And, by
the way" said the artist. whenever
you're up here at any mealtimo It's
'on me- That's only fair" So Pat fed
well that day and felt quite equal to
climbing seven flights Of stairs when
he came back But what surprised
him was that very pretty girl chose
to climb SIX q those flights along with
him, and In the baiance Of that week
the same thing happened twice.
~Now, why does she do that?" said
Pat to himself. And be ayaialy cutia

ana ~ soon as he learned what had
happened to the stove he accused Pat,
even claiming to have recognized him.
The fact is that he had not seen his
assailant, who struck from ambush.
Pat was arrested, and, though his
three little girls and neighbor were
with him at the undoubted time of the
assault, he apent nearly three months
in a cell, at the end Of which period OF
misery he was released without trial.

From 2p0G00 10 40o000 children in the United States die every year from pfeyentable causes. The chief statisti- elan of the Federal Census Bureau Is the authority for this statement. Near lya fifth are infants under one year of age, and mofe than fourth are chii- dfen under five years of age.
 It is the conclusion of an eminent medical authority that the death of 1T per cent of the children may be pre- vented, and that 67 per cent of the deaths Of children between Z and X years old are also preventable.
