leave her like this, Mr. Dill"
"But the nurse might not come
back for long time" Noble sug-
gested desolately, looking over his
shoulder in the direction of the cor
ner where the rest Of the walking
party had vanished. "I'm afraid if
we don't hurry
"I'll tell you what we'll do" said
Florence with brightest enthusiasm
"Well take her with us! We can't
leave her here, and I'd just love
TO take her along. We can take her
with US on the walking party, and
then We'll take her home. You push
the wagon, and III walk along close
side of it and keep quieting her"
But
It'll be just lovely!" Florence in
sisted warmly. "Take holt of the
handlebar and push; that's all you
haf to do, Mr.. Dill"
If Noble had not feared to lose the
favor of this powerful influence with
Julia's dreaded father, he might have
offered further demur, in obedience
to various reasoning voices within
him. He had a hazy notion that it
was not entirely proper to walk away
with a baby in this manner, even at
the command of the infants second
cousin, but much more keenly he felt
strong repulsion toward the idea of
pushing a baby carriage under any
circumstances, and particularly in a
walking party of which Julia At
water was a member.
Florence was too much for him.
Hurry, Mr.. Dill" she commanded.
Its absolutely the only thing we
can do. The family'd nerer forgive
me if left this child out here in
the street like this-never in the
world! If that ole colored darky
woman comes back, and Sarah isn't
here, it'll be lesson to her; that's
all. We got to take her, Mr.. Dill,
and that's just everything there is
to it! You take holt of the handle

says she seen a brother of hern
a-drivin' a delivery wagon up that
alley yonder that she hadn't see fer
five months and lost track Of him
complete. and she knowed nobody
wouldn't tech no baby thataway;
so she run up the alley about half
d minute, and never ketched up with
him, and come on back and there
wasn't no baby nowhere. Well, sir,
you'd ought to heern the fuss she
made. Me, was comm along right
about where that old gentleman
with the violet buttonhole bokay's
;a-standin' now, and l wasn't think
in about nothin' much, anyway not
about no woman lettin' out a holler
like that, and all of a sudden |
looked up and I seen this here
woman, and thinks | to myself" -
Julia Interrupted sharply: "Never
mind, please. What was her name?
Who was she?'
"Why, lady, don't know. l was
walkin right along as it might be
now, like this. p
Whose baby did she say it lcos?'
'Hern."
Where did she go?"
We'll, said the workman, 'it was

says, because if somebody's gone
and tuck your child away from you,
says, why, what's the use your
wastin' whole lot O timer l says.
What you want to do l says, is
to jump on a streetcar,' l says, and
go on down to Police Headquarters
and get the police out after en-
says"-
But it was not necessary to await
the young workman's development!
Of the climax; Julia whirled about
"Florence Atacater''
Florence was not present. She had
felt that it would now be better tc
leave the little stranger entirely or
the hands of Noble Dill, her Aunt

w
to the rear of her walking party,
and opened wider in happy surprise
With every element Of conspicuous
ness he uttered loud laugh, then
went on his way, having abruptly
changed his mind about joining the
party.
His conspicuous laugh was what
caused Julia to glance over her
shoulder and come to a halt.
"Noble Dill" she cried.
Here we--here we are" Noble
faltered.
Whose child is that?'
Its dear little Cousin Sarah At
water Burgess" Florence explained
complacently. That ole colored
Garky nurse left her out on the side
walk by vacant lot all alone.
Then why didn't you leave her
there?' demanded Julia, addressing
herself principally to Noble Dill.
And as he seemed unable to ex-
plain, she turned upon Florence.
"How do you know it's Cousin
Sarah Burgess's little girl9 | can't
tell babies of that age apart, and l
certainly don't believe you can"
why, guess know my own lit
tie second cousin, don't I?'
"Well, I don't" Julia retorted :;
and she stopped to look more closely
at the baby, who still nobly COM
planned. "That doesn't look like
Cousin Sarah's child to me- she said
inconsstently.
Florence yet retained her airy ST.
periority, and she laughed in dis
dain. "Well, guess if l couldn't tell
babies apart, anyhow I can tell baby
carriages, can't /? This is exactly
like the one Cousin Sarah got for the
baby, because I was with her when
she bought it." At this point Flor
ence momentarily forgot that hel
