YOU ii nave 10 take my offer and
chance it; that little Mrs. Dismukes
loves her baby better than her life.
She'll never give it up
Its just this way, Boy. That
baby will take months to get we'll,
with the care l can give her. With
her ignorant young mothers atten-
ton, and away in the piney woods
for they can't afford to stay here
much longer-out of reach of proper
food and medicine, she'll certainly
die; you know that"
Eyes, responded the doctor. I'm
afraid she will
There's no doubt about it, Be-
sides, her parents will probably have
half dozen more. I've saved this
one, and l want her-and I want
you to persuade them to give her
to me-"
well, I'll do my best. I'll talk
it over with them today, and try and
persuade them that it is the best
thing possible-for the child.
doubt if the mother will see it in that
light. In the meantime you go to
bed and sleep on it,"
I'll proceed to obey you," said
Miss Lathrop, rising. ''Do your best
for me, Boy, and I'll try my powers
tonight
1t was with fear and trembling
that the doctor preached the subject
to Lauretta when he made his morn
ing call. At first she could not un-
derstand how it was possible for any
body to want another persons baby
Babies had always been regarded as
necessary evils by Lauretta's people;
hers was-to herself alone-the
most precious thing on earth, but
that someone else-and that person
the nurse, the wisest and most skill
full woman on earth, to Lauretta-
should want her was more than her
dazed mind could grasp. Very gen.
thy the doctor told of all the advan-
tages of Nurse Lathrop's plan. She
listened so quietly that he began to
think he had overrated her affection
for the child, and, emboldened by
her seeming Indifference, he con-
tinued: con the other hand, if you
take the baby back home, even
months from now, she will surely
die
These words Lauretta's numbed
brain could grasp. Die? Her child
die, when she seemed so much bet
ter?
ooh, doctor, save her! Jest save
her pore little life and I'll do any
thing you say. Anything l CANT
see her die, I CANT! If the nuss
wants her she kin have her, if that'll
keep her alive. Will it? Will she
be shore and certain to liver"
The doctor was unprepared for
this wild outburst; the apathetic
creature was transformed; her hol-
low eyes cleaned, her voice trem-
bled, the breath came in gasping

dignity, waving MS tail slowly, and
lifting his head for the customary
pat she bestowed upon it. He fol-
lowed her with lordly air of pro-
lection down the steps into the yard,
where the eager fowls crowded round
her feet for the portions of meal she
scattered with a liberal hand. She
was social being taking much COM
fort in the companionship of her
animals, and usually had cheerful
morning greeting for them all, but
this morning she attended to their
needs in very silent and distracted
fashion.
The chickens fed, she went into
the kitchen and prepared her own
breakfast. Her breakfast over, in
stead of preparing to lie down, Miss
Lathrop went to the telephone in
her hall and called up Dr. Lorrimer.
Il wish you'd come out here for a
few minutes, Boy" she called. II
WALL 10 COuSulC you.
"All right" came back promptly.
BE with you in ten minutes
She took seat on the cool front
porch to await his coming. The
Maltese jumped on her lap, she
stroked it abstractedly, Indifferent to
the loud purrs with which he de-
manded conversation. Miss Lathrop
was thinking; thinking of the past
the long years of nursing in
crowded cities, followed by the in
evitable collapse, when, after long
illness, having comfortable income,
the result of years of methodical
saving and careful investment, she
had come to this quiet town to spend
the rest of her life in peace and
quiet. She made many friends, and,
what with her small household du-
ties, her garden and her pets, had
thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of
rest and independence. But with
the advent of Lauretta's baby a
strange unrest had taken possession
of her; there now seemed to be a
void in the hitherto fullness of her
content.
The click of the gate latch inter-
rupted her musings. The doctor was
coming, his hat off, for the wind to
play through his close cut curls, his
step springy and alert, the light of
enthusiasm beaming from his hand
some face-a presence calculated to
cheer the most pessimistic of pa
tients.
WELL confrere, I've come for the
consultation" he said, dropping on
the steps at her feet and immediate
ly transferring the Maltese to his
own lap, where it placidly resumed
it's nap.
''The truth of the matter, Boy"
said Miss Lathrop, sis this: l find
that old Tom and Towser and the
birds and chickens don't quite fill my
life. I'm getting disconnected.

leader of the aristocrats, and other
dramatic scenes in the history of
Rome. Price SO cents.

J. H. STARIN DEAD
Aged Owner of New Haven Steamship
 Line Expires at New York Home.
FROM CLERK TO CAPITALIST.

John H. Starin, the steamship own- CT and former rapid transit commits sioner in New York city, died yester- day at his home there aged s3 years.
 Mir. Starin, who died a millionaire, began life as a clerk in a. drug store in western New York. He worked 14 hours a day for 75 cents a week.
