Considerable Hint.

'"This Is a nice canoe, isn't 1t
Every nice indeed Charlie" replied
the pretty girl sitting in the stern.
"There's just one objection to It,
said the young man.
Indeed; and what Is that?" asked
the girl.
ooh, well, you see, If you try to kiss
a girl in this canoe there's great
danger of upsetting 1t, and then both
the fellow and the girl would be
thrown into the river"
"Oh, indeed" said the girl, refiec
lively, and she sat silent for a while
At length she remarked, softly
"Charlie, I can SWIM"

don't you think? But why in thun-

at our door" he inquired.
1t seemed TO me. however, perfect
~ simple, for Of course the papers
had been full of Leslie's illness and
how she was grieving for her baby.
We sent at once for DR.. Salmon,
and he advised us Immediately to get
woman who was trained in chill
drens' nursing: in fact, he offered to
60 TO the hospital and send one that
he thought was at liberty.
After this happened. of course,
there was no sleep for either Jack
or me. Jack hung over the basket
in which he again placed the baby,
for hours. He seemed TO be afraid
that il would fly away. and once he
declared that he knew it was not
breathing. If the child had been his
own he could not have been more So
fictitious. He seemed to feel that in
way some fate had solved all his
troubles and that Leslie would be as
delighted as he the moment she saw
the child.
He had the right intuition. Joe,

Samson snet us took the baby in 20

her face lighted lp with a radiant
smile
Bring hin TO me-bring him 10
me quickly" she said. Where did
you get him."
We told her the entire truth. she
interrupted with little gurgles of hap
piness as she held the child 10 her
breast.
"Oh. I can keep him-Jack-can't
I keep him. she asked.
"Of course you can. my dear. You
could keep him if he were twins, if
it made you happy: You cannot know
how / have agonised over you all
