Miss Morgan's hands.

Miss Morgan's hands.
Jean had insisted on Miss Nor
gan leaving her hospital work to be
with her.
Miss Morgan, who loved Jean as
she would her sister, had been with
her two weeks which had been hap
py ones for both,
When Jean came to Miss Nor
gals room one morning at day
break to say the time had come.
A period Of excitement ensu ed,
Catharine Morgan was silent, but
ready for emergency.
DR.. Joseph was so nervous and
upset as though he was ignorant OF
all such things. He was utterly
dependent on DR.. Jack.
DR.. Joseph knelt beside his wife S
bed he held her plump little hands
in his own.
When he saw an expression cross
her face that caused his very soul
to sicken.
The room smelled strong of
cho!Orform,
Jean lay among the pillows, some
thing deathly in her fair face. She
looked I'D at him with eyes that
were heavy with drussins and pain.
My baby" she said softly i did
not hear him cry" Her voice had a
! far away dreamy note. DR.. Joseph
pressed his lips to her drawn and
, white ones then he said.
It's Girl dear" The head on
the pillow turned.
She must be sweet she said
yes she is a beautiful child" he
answered. Then he hurried from
the room to hide the food of tears
that burst his restraint.
Miss Morgan laid the tiny pink
bundle beside Jean who spread
weak fingers across the little
crumpled rose leaf face. She held
the tiny hands that felt so warm
against Jeans cold ones.
oh my darling" Jean breathed,
you little helpless innocent thing
BE a mother to her Catharine'
Jean said, I'll leave her in your
care Miss Morgan promised that
she would.
When Dr.. Joseph again entered
the room Catharine with white tear
stained face knelt beside the bed
in one hand she held both of the
dying mother hands in the other a
rosary.
DR.. Jack stood motionless at the
foot Of the bed. No more could be
done and DR.. Joseph a Frustrated
man, Sobbed out his grief at the
last, alone,
There was no trace of suffering
on Jeans fair face. Now it looked
sweet aud calm as though the
angels soft touches still fingered.
Dr. Joseph had lost his nerve, he
would not dare perform an opera
ton so he decided to 90 abroad.
Miss Morgan was left in charge
of baby Jean and Mr.. and Mrs.
Strong come to live with them.
Catharine was such a devoted
mother to the little one that the
baby never missed her own.
Mrs. Strong never quiet survived
the shock Of her daughters death
and the following winter she too
passed away leaving the father
alone. Miss. Morgan did all in her
power to console the lonely man.
One day she brought baby Jean
into the drawing room where Mr..
Strong sat by the fire,
Catharine dropped on the rug
with the baby and smothered her
with a wild hug as she said Baby
has her good day3 and her bad ones
nut today she has been an angel, .
Kissing the baby's curly head.

Catharine joined the Doctor in the
drawing room, where he asked her
if she will always be a mother to
little Jean.
He held out his hands with ad-
Grafton in his eyes.
And she slowly went to him.
Can you love me just a little
dariins?" Dr.. Joseph asked as he
crushed her in his arms.
In a moment she was clin5ing to
him in an estacy Of love.
For a few blissful moments they
remained So He felt the warm soft
curve Of her cheek against his own.
He could hear the fast beating of
her heart. Suddenly he felt tear
drop on MS hani.
What is this for, sweetheart,
showing her his hand.
Be because love you so much
she answered.
1t was a very quiet wedding in
the early morning at the Sacred
Heart Church..
This time the honeymoon was
spent at New Port in pretty cot
tage with charming view Of the
open sea.
And baby Jean was their con-
slant companion, as Catharine and
the child were inseperable.
1t was a happy trio that spent
the days in Newport. Fort Adams
was beautiful and its steep 9laces
seemed. covered with snow from
the multitude of white daisies in
bloom.
Little Jean loved to watch the
row boats and yatchS fit past.
On a beautiful day in June, New
port Harbor shone all blue and sill
yer in the sun.
DR.. Jack and his bride had joined
the happy family at the cottage
and all were on board the pleasure
boat Sidney.
There was fair wind that sent
the boat along smoothly. The Sid
ney sped silently seward until
they came suddenly in the shadow
of a deep cave and close by out of
the sea rose a large table Of rock.
The whole of this rock was covered
with large black birds. Each moment
some of them would rise, wheel in
the air with loud cries and settle
on the rock again.
The incessant f1utter of their
wings, the lash of waves against
the rock made it seem to
float in the sea. oh what a won
derIul sight" cried Catharine while
little Jean clapped her hands and
shrieked with joy.
| was all like a dream to the Two
happy couples. AS the pink in the
west deepened, the sun seemed to
sink lower and lower until it reach
ed the water and a little crescent
moon swung like a tiny silver boat
as they reached the landing.
Catharine made very disnifed
but sweet mistress for the grand
old home. They led a quiet home
life although society was ready to
receive DR.. Joseph's lovely bride
with open arms.
Three years passed, Catharine was
preparing the children for bed. The

From no point OF view an the use of the American flag by the
skipper OF the Lustania be considered a breach Of the rights of neutrals.
1t vas, as the British foreign office points out a use of a that has
been practced by the ships of all nations Even a ar vessel may fly
a false flag to deceive the enemy, so long as it up the true fla
before it fires a hostile shot A merchant ship may do the same thing
for it's protection, though the device plainly cannot avail against the
right OF search, and if lnjudiciously employed might be a disadvantage
rather than a advantage. During the Civil war the United States gov
eminent had much trouble with ships sailing under false colors, but
their right Of taking that risk a not questioned.
1t might constitute a national grievance if British ships generally
should fly the American flag for the purpose OF evadng capture. But
it does not appear that anything OF the sort is proposed. AS has
been already pointed out, the Luitania had American passengers aboard,
and Captain BOWS action, though of course it would not have deceived
German naval officer, was at least a warning to him to ascertain the
character OF the ship before capturing or destroying it. This is one Of
the rules Of war which no nation which pretends % be civilized a dis
regard.
The duty of the administration at this crisis is not to suggest that
Great Britain has in this instance committed any ofense against our
neutrality, but to inform Germany in the plainest erns that the United
States will 10 recognize its paper blocade or tolerate any act that
imperls American ships or American citizens. To resent the flying of
ar American flag by a British vessel and at the sam time to submit to
Germany's threat against American lives and property would indeed be
