Abandoned by her mother, and left
on the doorstep at the home of Mrs.
G. F.. Hennager in South Bend, lit
tie girl baby cried out feebly against
the world last Friday night. Inside
the house were light and warmth,
and a cheerful family who had COM
pleted busy days work, eaten their
supper, and were drowsily contem-
plating a quiet nights repose. Across
the family's peaceful content came
the cry of the infant at the door,
causing instant CONSERVATION and
surprise. The little bundle was
brought inside, and found to be a
sweet little girl, weighing seven
pounds, and wrapped in an old piece
of CLOTH Although such a new ar
rival in the world the little girl
blinked her eyes and smiled upon
those who had rescued her from the
dark and mysterious night. Imme-
diately she was welcomed to the
family circle, where seven children
had already been born and reared,
and everyone said there was plenty
of room for another. Before twenty
four hours had passed the winning
little stranger had firmly ensconced
herself in the hearts of all.
Will Keep the Infant
well keep her. announced Mrs.
Hennager, whose mother heart
yearned over the waif abandoned by
the one who should have cher
ished it.
"We'll keep her." echoed the fam
lily.
The subject of clothes and other
necessities for the baby became at
once an absorbing topic, second only
to the fear that the rightful mother
might return to claim her own. And
the Baby smiled upon her puzzled
elders with sweet wisdom
After fitting out her new daugh-
ter as nicely as possible, Mrs. Hen
mayer came to town yesterday in
search of suitable cradle. She stat
ed that although she had family
of seven she intended to legally
adopt the little girl, so no one could
come to claim her and take her away
after the family had become so fond
of her.
"She will share equally with my
other children, and it will be just as
if she was truly my own daughter.
Whatever property we may have will
be equally divided, and she will be
treated exactly like my own chill
dren"
