TIE: LEADING OF FATE

1t was Jeans first visit among the
people of the poorer tenement dis
trict. Into the congenial surround
lngs of her own sheltered life never
had crept the faintest intimation that
such sordid poverty existed. Jean
slowly followed her aunt up the stairs
OF the huge hive-like structure they
entered, shrinking alike from the
balf-starved children, who swarmed
about them, and from the consump-
tive girl wrapped in ragged quilt
and propped up in chair with lumpy,
excelsior-filled pillows. Suddenly her
heart gave great throb as she
paused before an open door. There
stood an antidote for the wretched
poverty and suffering already wit
messed
Jeans face lost it's white, drawn
look, as she reached for the dimpled,
blue-eyed boy, who, patting the soft
fur clasped around Jeans white
throat, cuddled serenely in her arms.
"Oh, auntie, isn't he a darling?"
she exclaimed ferve1ftly.
Mrs. Moreland acquiesced as she
assembled the flight of stairs opposite.
Oblivious of everything but her new
found treasure, Jean made no effort
to follow.
"See,' the boy called to someone
within, and Jean encountered the
glance of pair of magnetic dark
eyes.
Il beg your pardon" she STAN
mered to the short, compactly-built
man who was closely regarding her.
One of Lauriston's rare smiles
lighted his face as he answered Jeans
apology. ut was | who left the door
Enclosed, so felt responsible if the
child were stolen
Mamma SICK" Reginald tried in
his baby way to make Jean under
stand; man come; make mamma
we'll"
"Oh, he is the DOCTOR" thought
Jean, interpreting the prattlings of
the three-year-old boy. But when he
attempted to close the door, she in
terposed:
''Please leave the door opened I'M
til my aunt comes down. don't
know where to find her, and / doubt
IL she remembers me until she re-
turns home" At the probability of
missing her aunt, Jeans voice fall
tered
You are not used to this" said
Lauriston kindly, as he placed a chair
for her.
NO" Jean answered quietly,
though she shuddered at the muffled
groans that came from the inner
room.
Don't be afraid, Reginald's moth
err has no contagious disease" Lau-
riston assured Jean in low tone. 1T
is a breakdown from overwork and
insufficient nourishment."
Jean breathed freer at the irfor-
nation. Lauriston looked at her
quizzically while he unconscio usly
pushed back from his forehead clus-
tiers of thick, brown hair.
"Boy's face dirty. Boy wants face
washed" asserted Reginald, peremp-
torily pulling at jeans gloved hand.

enough confidence in him to be-
lieve that like Mr.. Swanson he
will confound and silence these
eager critics by the faithful and
conscientious discharge of his
duty.
There can be no doubt at TO his

ferent sections; and Christian
gentleman as he is. his conscience
will be both a guide to point out

which will deter him from actions

naturally he desires to leave a
record equal TO that of any of his

next four years a strong. a wise
and progressive administration
under Governor Mann.
