ton to meet her husband. with not a
single thought of any other children
than the little Borland boy at home
awaiting his papa, first saw the symp-
toms
Jessie, is that a mosquito bite on your
cheek?" questioned Mrs. Borland.
"Yeth. ma,am." said Jessie, with child
ish willingness to be agreeable even at
the cost of a little prevarication.
As the taxi-cab trundled nearer and
nearer to the Borland home more mos
quito bites developed until Jessie was
sporting quite colony OF such facial
adornments. Mr.. Borland grew worried
Perhaps the child had better be looked at
by physician, so DR.. Reisinger, the next
door neighbor. was summoned 10 investi-
gate. Jessie had also developed a husky
cough along with the mosquito bites.
"U-u-u-u-m-m-m!" remarked DR.. Rel
singer rubbing his chin. drawing Jessie
into a stronger light and examining her
eyes curiously.
Are they mosquito bites?" questioned
Mrs Borland. with a brand new moth
erly anxiety born of a twenty-mlnute ride
in the taxi cab.
Nope" said DR.. Reisinger, they're
just plain measle bites"
So Jessie has been quarantined and
Christie has been quarantined. also Papa
and Mama Borland have been quaran-
tined. and the original Borland infant
has been isolated from his new sisters.
Mr.. Borland has not yet determined
whether he will formally adopt Jessie
and Christy. Until he arrives at a defii-
mite conclusion on this score he will not
