The fact is. every effort is

Then l thought of the child itself, who

other-was now in danger of being left to the

penniless and without protector, to become a
drudge and an outcast or even a thief, a
gambler, or a harlot.
This was what I thought and felt.

1t was Saturday, the twenty-frst of June
The Summer had been a cold one thus far; the
night was chill and heavy, rain was beating
against the window pane.
There was a warm fire in my room for the
first time for several months; the single gas
jet on the window side of the mantelpiece had
been turned low, and the nurse in light slippers
was taking my little flannel and linen garments
out of the chest of drawers and laying them
on the fiat steel fender.

rising of a seabird in the midst of swelling
waves.
At one such moment l became aware that
the doctor and my Welsh landlady, as we'll as
my nurse, were in the room, and that they
were waiting for the crisis and fearing for my
life
l heard them talking in low voices which
made drumming noise in my ears, like that
which the sea makes when 1t is rolling into a
cave.

afraid of the child, if you ask me-"
Then the drumming noise would die out and
would only hear something within myself
saying:
"oh, God, oh, God, that my child may be
born dead"
At another moment heard, above the rattle
of the rain the creaking of the mangle in the
cellar kitchen on the other side of the street
At still another moment heard the sound
of quarrelling in the house opposite A woman

Blessed Virgin: "oh, Mother of my God, let my
child"-
But voice which seemed to come from far
away interrupted me-
Hush BACH hush! It will make it harder
for thee"
At length peace came 1t seemed to me that
l was running out of a tempestuous sea, with
its limitless loneliness and cruel depth into
quiet harbor.
There was heavenly calm, in which could
hear the doctor and the nurse and my Welsh
landlady talking together in cheerful whispers.

the memory of the storm had passed through

'Dead?" cried the nurse in a voice several
octaves higher than usual Dear heart no, but

doctor, and then my Welsh landlady cried:
why dds think 1t would be dead bach? As
/ am a Christian woman Incest got the beauti-
fullest baby that ever breathed"
l could bear no more.
The dark thoughts of the days before were
over me still, and with a groan turned to the
wall.
Then everything was wiped out as by an
angels wing, and fell into deep sleep.
When l awoke my dark thoughts were
vanishing away like bad dream in the morn
ing. The rain had ceased, the gas had been
put out, and could see by the glow on the
peonies of the wall paper that the sun was
shining with soft red light through the Hol-
land blinds of my windows.
l heard the sparrows chirping on the stills
outside; heard the milkman rafting his cans;
l heard the bells of neighboring church ring
ing for early communion.
l closed my eyes and held my breath and
listened to the sounds in my own room.

somebody humming softly, and beating foot
on the floor in time to the tune; and then I
heard low voice lit was Emmerjanes saying

Then turned and saw the nurse sitting be-
fore the fire with something on her lap. l
knew what it was. 1t was my child and it was
asleep In spite of my dark thoughts my heart
began to yearn for it.
And then came the great miracle
My child awoke and began to cry. It was a
faint cry, oh, so thin and weak, but it went
laundering and laundering through me.
There was moment of awful struggle, and
then a mighty torrent of love swept over me.
1t was Motherhood.
My child! Mine! Flesh of my flesh!
All my desire for my baby's death to save it
from the pains of life was gone and my heart,
starved so long, throbbed with tenderness.
My baby was at my breast and my sufferings
were at an end.
