But when he did venture out, not
one of the hungry horde paid the
slightest heed to him. They just ate

come.
Kiddie Katydid soon saw that he
would have to move, If Leaper's cous-

they found on bed, and they got
a few drops of stimulant between the
little lips. Suddenly he stirred and
opened his eyes. Want my ball" he
said, and then feeling another lack
that touched his masculine pride
Want my pants" Edith laughed
softly, with tears running down her
cheeks. She wrapped him closer in
the blanket, and after a moments
drowsy contemplation OF aer he fell
asleep.
Jim found some wood out of doors
and built up the fire In the stove until
the red light from the open door filed
the room and made giant shadows on
the ceiling.
The warm bundle In her arms and
the baby hand under her chin stirred
strange thoughts in Edith and many
things became clear to her. Women
have yearned over warm, living bun
dies in the freight since the days
when the fire was a campfire. Jim
bent down to put another stick In
the stove and Edith noticed the pow
erful line of his shoulder under the
sweater and the thick, smooth line of
his hair against his neck She would
have liked to put her hand on 1t and
there was something thrilling in the
thought.
Jim and she in the firelight-and
the baby-she flushed at the thought
Jim turned just then. I've been saw
ing up for a long time, and I've got
enough to buy house" he said with
apparent irrelevapce. They were si-
lent after that, and the freight and
shadows wove a spell around them
There was an abrupt sound of
brakes and Hal and Tessie burst in
with the doctor and the baby's mother
The doctor woke the baby and made
him cry, and after careful examina-
tion Hal heard with huge relief that
the child was not hurt at all.
Halls gayety returned suddenly and
he insisted on leaving generous sum
Of money for the parents. To Tessie's
surprise jim gave an equal sum. I'D
like to- he said quietly in answer to
Halls protests.
Hal and Tessie sat together on the
front seat going home and sang and
laughed and were wildly happy. Edith
and jim were very quiet, and present
ly she slipped her little fist into his
evercoat pocket and found his hand.
IT'S all right about you and me-" she
said shyly.
But Jim wasn't surprised Il knew
it when l saw you with the child" he
said happily.
