Strengthened by the brief pray
er, Polly arose with calm deter
mination. Quietly, she lifted the
child and carried him up the mar
row steps that led to the little
garnet room, where the dolls that
she had loved in her childhood
still slept in their cradles. When
she came down, her arms were
empty, and there were traces of
tears on her white cheeks.

said. God never gave a mother

Quickly, she made toilet and

Polly turned the light low, and
sat in semi-darkness, listening,
listening. For a long time, there
was no sound except the mourn
ing of the wind, as if sobbing for
some lost soul. Suddenly, the
telephone began to ring as if it
meant to wake the dead With
nervousness that was almost
uncomfortable, Polly crossed the
room and took down the receiver

Although Polly realized keen1y
the horror of the message, she
felt personally as though she had
been granted a reprieve from a
sentence of death. She hurried
away to make ready for the in
jured woman, and the physical
activity gave her nerves relief.
Very soon, she heard voices
coming up the walk. AS she
opened the door, the cold night
wind rushed past her into the
house. The figure they bore 81
lently up the steps seemed limp
and lifeless. In a fresh, sweet
room, they laid her down. Polly
took the cold hand and chafed it
gently. The ministering angel in
her had awakened. The doctor
looked at Polly.

Hospitality wide, she bore him
above-stairs and laid him gently
on her bed. She drew a chair
close and held the little hand.
What a soft, helpless, little hand
it seemed! The fingers closed
over hers firmly, and faint smile
curved the baby lips. With that
smile, fleeing memory swept
the girl. Could it be? Impossi-
ble-it was simply the feathered
trousers that were the same.
There was no likeness, absolutely
none. She bent forward and
slipped the shoes and socks from
the feet; the baby dimples were
still above the toes. With impul-
sive maternity, she kissed the lit
tie foot. Again, the smile curved
the baby lips. 1t was like the
echo of a beloved voice.

HOW TO HAVE LONG
BEAUTIFUL HAIR
BY Il Hair Specialist

1t is not hard to stop the hair from
falling out and promote its growth if
the right means are used. There is
no hope for the scalp where the hair
roots are dead and the scalp Is shiny.
However, to those who have not
reached this condition, immediate
steps should be taken to stop it be-
fore it is too late. Here is a simpf6
recipe which you can make at home,
that will stop the hair from falling
out, promote its growth and eradicate
scalp eruptions and scalp humors. To
half pint of water add l OF. bay
rum, small box of Barbo Compound
and u OF. of glycerine. and apply to
the hair, rubbing with the finger tips,
two or three times a week. These
ingredients can be obtained at any
drug store at very little cost and mixed
lat home. This recipe not only pro-
notes the growth of the hair, but
darkens streaked. faded gray hair and
makes it soft and glossy
ment.
