dear, [ do wis you was my
muvver.
AS the long afternoon passed
Miss Mollie still sat holding the
little form tenderly in her arms
though they ached with the
strain. She listened anxlously
for a footstep on the creakine
stairs that should tell of the
mothers return, but none came
Halfpast four brought the chill
dren from school. She heard the
trio in the little yard below, but
they did not come up. Five
O'Clock came, still all was quiet,
and the child's hot breath swept
Miss Mollie's cheek; six, and in a
few moments slow step sound
ed on the stairs, and she could
hear the querulous voice bidding
Polly, Jessie, and Tom, "Come
up, can't you, and help poor
mother a Bit" When Mrs. Hal
sey entered the room q look of
pleased surprise, followed by an
anxious, questioning glance,
crossed her tired face as she saw
Jamie in the arms of his beloved
Miss Moll'e, dear"
"Is anything the matter?" rose
to her trembling lips, but her
child's flushed face and the hog
little hands told their own story.
She had come just IN time, for
Miss Mollie was faint from long
fasting and her afternoons con-
hnement in the hot, close room
AS the mother lifted her baby
boy tenderly in her arms the
other staggered to the window
and flung it wide open, drinking
in the refreshing air of the earlv
evening She was herself lii a m
ment, and, dispatching Polly tol
the nearest doctor, she quietly
and quickly made ready the poor
little bed in the corner for her
charge, and as they laid him
down he reused a moment from
the stupor which had bound him
and murmured, "Oh, Miss Mollie,
dear. l is so firstly" The child
drank eagerly from the cup of
cool, fresh water that Jessie
brought him, and then fell back
upon his pillow, once more un-
concious of what passed about
him. Mother and teacher watch
ed HIM with anxious hearts.
When the kind old doctor came
he shook his head over the dry,
parched lips and labored breath
ing. Another fever patient" he
said. But the mother and Miss
Mollie both knew what it meant.
Oh, the long, anxious nights of
watching that followed, for the
mother. She had time now for
kisses and tender lullabies, and
in Jamie's waking moments he
had ceased to call for "Miss
MOllie, dear" so continuously,
for "Now my m aver loves
me-" he would murmur while she
hushed him to rest. Oh, what a
world ofreproach for that moth
er in the child's unconciOus ac-
cusation offormer neglect, "Now
my muvver loves me-! And she
shed bitter tears over the little
cot as she thought of what she
would do when she had lost him,
for the doctor had said that the
slender thread of Jamie's little
life must break, and the bright
eyes close and the merry little
voice be hushed in death.
One night-it was the last-he
had seemed better, and as morn.
ing dawned he begged and plead
ed for Miss Mollie. Il want my
own Miss Mollie, dear, I do.

came he whispered in her ear

IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Request to Settle Boundary Dispute
Between Peru and Ecuador
Expected.

There is reason to believe that the Unit
ed States will be asked to mediate be-
tween Ecuador and Peru in the matter
of the boundary dispute between those two
countries 1t is understood that an ex-
change of views between those countries
and Chile which by its geographical
proximity is naturally interested In
the subject. has already been initial
ed looking TO a request to the United
States to lend its good Offices in the hope
of securing an amicabe settlement of
the questions at issue.
Reports received at the State Depart
ment from Ecuador, Peru and Chile indi-
cate that feeling of unrest and appre-
hension exists in those countries that
war may be the result of the failure or
either Ecuador Peru 10 accept the
award of the King of Spain. to whom the
boundary question was referred for def
mite settlement. 1t is not dehnlteN known
at this time what the award or the k1ng
of Spain will be or when 1t Will be made,
but there seems to be public sentiment
in each country in favor of disregarding
the decision in case the other is given any
excessive advantage
While entirely averse to interfering in
any way in the dispute between these
South American countries, the State De-
pa rtment would be glad II II could be
helpful in bringing about a final adjust
ment OF the trouble as was done in
somewhat similar dispute between Boilvla
and Peru The attitude of the State De-
partment would undoubtedly be that the
governments of Peru and Ecuador, if left
entirely to themselves, could find no dim
Guilty whatever in preventing by ne1shbor-
ly and friendly discussion any possible
trouble growing out of the award :
The dispute between the two countries
dates back many years and although re-
peated efforts have been made to reach
a settlement the matter still remains as
an irritant that may at any time develop
into something of a serious character.
A dispatch received at the State De-
partment states that the Chilean govern
ment has expelled a number of Peruvian
priests from the Tacna-Arica province,
but the department is not Informed as to
the reason fer their expulsion.
