be the mother Of little Faith was to be
admitted, but no one came, and the

friends were surprised when they
learned he had adopted e. baby, but
he received permission from the city
to adopt her, and his housekeeper,
Mrs. Graham, with the aid of two
trained nurses, undertook to nurse
the child.
Little Faith was lees than two

clothes and this note:
please, II the Church OF the As

send my baby 20 an orphan asylum. /"
When he was asked why he had
adopted the child, DR.. Grant said:
"I suppose every bachelor such as

after you've held little head close
to your face most of one night that
babys face Is craven on your mem
ory, and believe I'd know that little
one anywhere. It's almost queer, you
know, l always thought babies were
sort of shapeless, but this one seemed
