WATCH FOR OUR BIG CHRISTMAS BARGAINS STARTING NEXT WEEK Subscription $1.00 Per Annum EXAMINATION FAILS ON SANITY CHARGE EXAMINATION FAILS ON SANITY CHARGE MRS. MARTIN AND DAUGHTER ALLOWED TO RETURN TO THEIR HOME. Mrs. Martin of 934 Oakland avenue, who has kept herself and daughter, 23 years of age, secreted practically for five years in their home, and had to be taken with considerable force last week by the welfare officers on a lunacy charge on the part of the mother, were allowed to return to their home after an examination Monday. While there was evidence of an unbalanced mind, it was not thought of such mental seriousness as to remove her to a sanitarium. It's one of those peculiar cases of the human mind. The daughter graduated from our high school some five years ago and was a bright student in all of her studies and quite accomplished in music and a fine performer on the piano, of which they had one, but was never heard by neighbors. It is said the evening she graduated her mother took her home in a cab, less than three blocks away, and she has not been seen, even in their front yard a half dozen times since her graduation. The house was kept closed up all the time and no one in all these years outside of a sister of Mrs. Martin and her husband, who seemed to be away the most of the time, would ever gain admittance. It's one of those peculiar cases, and the sad part of it is, a young, bright mind as this young woman is said to have yields to one whose substance of gray matter has been absorbed by animal matter as to want to live as such. It's one of those sad and unfortunate states of mind. It is hoped there may be something done for both and especially for the young woman, who if allowed to remain in this same mental atmosphere soon will lose those powers of human mentality. MASTER CALLETH A BRIGHT YOUNG LIFE GOES TO ITS REWARD—A GRADUATE OF SUMNER HIGH SCHOOL. Clyde Thornton, son of Mrs. Edward Thornton, died at the home of his parents, 647 Winona avenue Monday night, December 4. He had been sick for several months and confined to his room for sometime before the end came. Clyde was one of Sumner High school's graduates of 1916. Even during his last year of school he had a fight against disease to remain in school but he was determined to fulfill his earnest desire to finish school. This he did with a good record, receiving his diploma last May. It is indeed a shock to his classmates to learn of his intimately death. The funeral took place Thursday, December 7 at the Eighth Street A. M. E. church, at 2:30 p. m. The pall bearers were chosen from Sumner High school's upper classmen who also sent a very beautiful floral design. Inasmuch as Clyde was full of striving to prepare himself for life and his mother, sister and brother had great hope for his future. many are those of us who mourn his loss and extend the family our deepest sympathy. He leaves a father, mother, three brothers and two sisters. SEWING CIRCLE ENTERTAINED ITS RETIRING SECRETARY. Last Saturday night the members of the Sewing Circle of the A. M.

The city seems to be full of house robbers, at this time and they don't wait for the night shades to come on, but are doing their thieving in broad open day. They are taking most anything they can carry away. Many houses have been cleaned out by these petty thieves in the last month, such as clothing, silverware, china, linen, ornaments and bricabrac. People should be careful not to leave their houses either night or day without seeing the windows and all doors were well-fastened. Not even go to a neighbor or stand in your back yard without the front part of your house is locked.

GOSPEL CAMPAIGN EVANGELIST MOTEN AT FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. Dr. F. F. Montoon formerly of Texas and late of Los Angeles, Calif., known as the Fire Alarm Evangelist of modern times, opened a two weeks' campaign Sunday night and has been preaching sermons every night this week that have awakened the people to a high spiritual understanding. His messages are with power and full of reasoning echoes from the valley to the innumerable heights of Christian development. The people are being aroused and lifted up with this great evangelist's concrete gospel declarations. Men and women are being moved by his plain, simple, Christian eloquence and logic so as to cause them to ask themselves by what right or authority have they to trample on the mercles of their saviour. These meetings will continue throughout all next week and the outlook is for one of the greatest outpouring of souls in this community that has been seen for a long time. No one should miss hearing this wonderful man. The Advocate can tell more people what you have for sale than all combined papers published in Wyandotte. Office, 834 Nebraska avenue. Dr. H. H. Jones, pastor of the A. M. E. church in Ft. Scott, Kas., was in the city this week on business and attended the revival service at First A. M. E. church Wednesday evening. We are sorry to hear of the sickness of Mr. Clyde Thornton, who has been confined to his bed for some weeks. We wish for him a speedy recovery. Mr. H. Combs, one of our prominent citizens and farmers in the Edwardsville neighborhood, was in the city Monday on business. If you want your wares to be knjwn to the consumer tell them through the only medium in Wyandotte, The Advocate. Mrs. Sherwood Booth is quite ill at her home on Everett avenue. NO.16 WOMEN KEEP DOWN HIGH COST OF FUEL. The high cost of most every mentionable product has brought into prominence in the past twelve months more economists from all walks of life than all the centuries put together. It would be little trouble at this time for any school or college to find an efficient instructor to fill every chair of economy. You will not only find the housewife teaching domestic economy but you can see her using economic methods without the least embarrassment in the line of fuel, which is an important factor at this time. One day this week, in passing one of our big coal yards there were noticed around a wagon which was being loaded from a car eight full grown women with baskets, sacks and small wagons, all with their eyes toward the ground. The shoveler in transferring the black diamonds from the car to the wagon would every now and then lose from his shovel to the ground small lumps and bits of the precious mineral and some one of these eight good housewives would have it in her vessel quicker than a Bermudian diver gets a coin thrown from a ship. At times, when a number of wagons are being loaded, 15 and 20 women can be seen in this yard, and this is not the only yard where women can be seen doing the same thing, but it can be observed all over the city wherever there is a coal yard. Now this is not a case of the usual coal vender but many of these women have homes of their own and husbands who toil every day and bring their money home every pay day, but conditions are of such in this high cost of fuel, with every other necessity of life, they deem it wise at this time to save the coal bin at home, so in case a cold snap would set in they would be fortified for the ordeal. This is a period of practical and self teaching economy. THEY SAY— "That some men of our race should use more etiquette in public and not argue and talk so loudly over any matter in the 'Temple of God.' "That Christians should try not to lose their temper at any time or place, and especially not let sinners see it. "That the critic of a certain society, instead of remaining to criticise improper decorum of some members, forsook his duty and left. "That the Metropolitan church has always had good order at its meetings, programs, etc., since its organization, also since the organization of the Forum-by Rev. E. A. Wilson, and we know it will continue to be as orderly if some members do not forget them selves and let their tempers make them talk too loud. "That the Forum will never die, especially while women hold some of the offices. "That you will miss a great treat if you do not order The Advocate for $1 before January 1st. Then you can hear some good news about your own people. In some papers you take you never hear much of your race unless they kill someone. It is hard to find as punctual, clean truthful paper edited as our own, The Advocate. "That people are asking for it in Odessa Mo., and many other larger cities. So hurry up and subscribe for it! "That Mr. Kennedy, the editor, is an honest man and is not partial in his paper. "Let's hurry up and make it a daily." (From the Society Editor.) Rev. W. C. Davies, who recently was appointed to a charge at Fresno, Cal., from this city, reports his work is progressing nicely and that he expects to do much this year for humanity and the master's kingdom. His many friends here wish for him untold success in his new field of labor. meen se me = | NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC!

Her hair was golden and her large, inquiring eyes were brown. They flashed with great hope and the wonderful dreams of youth. She arrived in New York with the conviction that an amazing adventure was waiting for her each time she turned a corner. She lived alone for one week in the goal city of the United States and, of course, it happened. On the first day of her second week's stay in the old fashioned brown-stone boarding house, she descended the dark, musty-smelling halls, with the dim gas jets burning to the dining room for luncheon. Claire was not only dewy, fresh and rosy, she had cultivated an air of dash and she was wistful, but of this latter quality she was utterly unconscious. When she entered the dining room she found a stranger at her table. New York is overfilled with pretty girls, but Gilbert Brown sat up when he looked at Claire. Claire looked him over completely without, apparently, taking her eyes from the cream pitcher in front of her. He was too big, she decided. She shrank from men so broad and with such square chins. There was something so delicate about her, she seemed little beyond Gilbert Brown, but he started to talk anyway. Lunchon finished, they went up the stairs to a still gloomier room, known as the library. After another half-hour's acquaintance he felt free to inquire, "Haven't you anyone to look after you?" She answered with a lilting laugh, "No one's ever taken care of me. I only have Aunt Annie, who was glad I came to New York." "Go back home, child," he warned her; "you won't stand being banged about here." She gave the man a long, speculative glance. "I haven't any home to go to," she laughed lightly, dismissing the subject forever. A thought flashed into her golden head that here was a chance for adventure. She wanted to dance and dine in the restaurants, and her week in New York proved that she probably never would, unless she went alone. She astonished the man by telling him this. All her girlish desires for experience beamed trustfully from her brown eyes as she talked. "Till take you to a show," he offered eagerly. "First, we'll have dinner with a cabaret, then a show after," he urged. Still Claire hesitated. The opportunity so suddenly presented took her breath away. His eyes were burning into hers in an uncomfortable way. The temptation to seek adventure was too strong to deny. Upstairs in the tiniest hall bedroom ever built into a boarding house Claire pressed for the evening, aglow with the wonder of the adventure on which she was starting. When she met Brown her eager brown eyes looked directly into his. Her tight grasp on his arm gave him the feeling of being a protector in a deeper sense than ever before. She carried her head high, animated with the joy of living. She intoxicated Brown. The cheap dazzle of Broadway weared him, but Claire laughed up at him in childish excitement. "Do you like this sort of thing?" he questioned wonderingly. "I can't thank you enough for taking me," she chirped; "it's all more beautiful that I ever dreamed, much more wonderful!" She started for home willingly when he suggested it. "You must not come again," he cautioned her; "other men will ask you." "But I want to come again," she protested. Secretly Brown made up his mind that in the morning he would look up the first-train to her-home-town and are that she took it, if he had to take her to the station himself. Alond he said, "You're the nicest, little girl. I ever saw!" Cailie placed her soft palm over his mouth. "You've told me every minute that I'm pretty." He caught her hand and held it. He knew he should drop it, but she looked at him with bright, happy eyes and smiled. Brown's heart always ruled his head, and at the touch of her soft little arm against his, he drew, her close to him. He covered her face with kisses. "I want you with me always, sweet one," he whispered in a trembling voice. "I don't want, to let you go." She put her arms around him and kissed him. Releasing her he drew his breath in sharply. "I shouldn't have talked to you at all. You're too good for men like me. Tomorrow—" he continued. Smiling sweetly into his face Claire interrupted. "Tomorrow we'll go adventuring again." Brown clenched her hands in his strong grip. "I don't want to let you go out of my life, but—" "I shan't. We'll be perfectly happy together." Claire laughed and cuddled closer to him. Then she whispered, "This is my first proposal!" It was several minutes before Gilbert Brown could speak. In his heart which was big, he was glad for the innocence of her. "Little treasure," he murmured, "Til he be a good husband to you." (Copyright, 1916, by the M-Clure Newspaper Syndicate) Then the ice Formed. Her—No doubt you think I am old than I really am. Him—Not at all. I'm sure you are not as old as you look. BOAT BASKET WITH CRYSTALS Pretty Ornament-That Is Easily Made by Combination of Belling Water and Alum. Water will, especially when boiling, dissolve large quantities of various substances, which, when the water has cooled, are left behind in the forms of most beautiful crystals, the shapes of which may vary with the substance employed. One may take advantage of this fact to make very handsome ornaments, says a contributor to the Electrical-Experimenter. It is also known that boiling water will take up a much larger quantity of alum than cold water. If we dissolve as much alum as possible in the former, as the liquid cools crystals of alum will be deposited on any object placed in the fluid. A piece of coke or cinder allowed to stand in a boiling solution of alum will become coated with numerous glistening crystals as the liquid cools. It will have the appearance of a naturally formed mineralological specimen. Ornamental baskets, etc., may be formed in this way by covering wire or willow baskets. The baskets covered with wire and then cotton are the most successful, as the surface to be coated with crystals must be somewhat rough. Take twice as much water as will be sufficient to cover the basket, cover it in a saucepan and add as much alum as will dissolve in the water. A quart of water will require about eighteen ounces of alum. Strain this through muslin or blotting paper into a large jar and hang the basket in the bolling liquid. Stand the jar on one side to cool and keep free from dust. In a few hours the basket will be completely covered with white crystals of alum. Should it be desired to color the crystals, add the requisite dye-stuff to the alum solution before straining it. A few drops of cheap dyes will serve the purpose well. WOMEN WRITE BEST LETTERS Their Propensity to Dilate on What Men Would Consider Trifles Is Given as the Reason. The art of letter writing is considered by the French an essentially feminine gift, probably because for years it was the only means of literary expression open to women. But the real secret of women's ability to write good letters is that they are not ashamed to record trifles. Men feel after they have described the weather and the state of their affections that they have done their duty. A woman will tell what another woman wore, what her-best friend said, who is rumored engaged to whom, what two best enemies are not speaking, and add, maybe, the breakfast menu. In letters women give a little of real life and their correspondence is really-written conversation. Letter writing is a delicate and difficult art, for, aside from its charming features, more harm has been done by the written word than by all the foolish converse in the world. Unkind remarks written are hard to erase from the heart. A foolish protestation of affection is a shame and grief forever to the writer. Every discreet written confidence is a curse that will come home to roost with the inevitability of the barnyard fowl. Letter writing should be an art; the art of trifles. It should be the art of being interesting, but not compromising. An Imaginary Journey. An imaginary journey will amuse children on a rainy day and is something easily accomplished. First provide each child with a book made of brown paper. These books can be made quickly by folding a number of thicknesses of the paper, and stitching them down the center on the machine. This large book may be cut into as many smaller ones as needed. Bring from their places old catalogues and magazines, telling the children they are about to start on a "play" journey. Let them cut out pictures of trunks and paste them in their books first. After that have them hunt through the catalogues for articles to pack in their trunks, pasting these below the trunks. Trains and boats may be added, also hotels and pretty scenery; indeed, until the children are tired, a great variety of ideas may be carried out—Ladies World. Cause for Doubt We rested our sleeve against the wet paint. "But did you not see that sign?" solicitously inquired the proprietor of the corner grocery, "which says that the paint is fresh!" "Certainly!" we replied with biting sarcasm, for we were greatly annoyed. "But we have often beheld placards in your accursed establishment announcing fresh eggs, butter, vegetables and soon, and usually found them, erroneous and deceptive. So, why should we suspect that this sign was anything but a pleasant table?"—Kansas City Star. Sheer Brutality. "I don't think you can really care for me any longer," cried the young bride, as dissolved in tears, she threw herself upon the couch. "Why not? asked the perplexed bridegroom. "Why do you say things like that? Didn't I kiss you before I left home this morning." "Ye-see you did," admitted the disconsolate fair one, "but as you walked to the corner to catch your car you turned and wared good by onLY tha- ti-mes."—Richmond Times.Dispatch Real Estate and Rentals.

PAY $350,000 TO REDS FOR STOCK Under Federal Guidance Crows Prove Better Cattlemen Than Whites. NOW FARMERS AND BREEDERS Work Too Has Raised the Price of the Grazing Lands Upon the Reserva tions—Take Good Care of Washington—The Crow Indians of Montana went into the cattle-raising business two years ago, under the supervision and expert guidance of the department of the interior. The other day, Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian affairs of the department, announced that the Indians' little flier in cattle had netted them no less than $350,000. In announcing the climax of this hit of business Mr. Sells told how he had personally aided in the recent sale of 34 carloads of Crow cattle at the Chicago stockyards. The day before the Chicago sale 17 other carloads of cattle had been sold at Omaha. It was in June, 1914, that the Indian commissioner persuaded the Indians to make their cattle investment. The funds for the accumulation of a herd were obtained by the sale of Crow lands, and for the Indians the government agents bought 7,000 young heifers, 2,000 yearling steers and 380 bulls. The care of the herd was personally supervised by government agents in Montana. Took Great Care of Cattle. The year the herd was purchased the Indians took extraordinary precautions to protect their bovine charges from the rigors of a Montana winter. The summer before they cut and stacked no less than 7,000 tons of hay, and while starvation and cold were cutting into the profits of white stock raisers at the alarming rate, the Indians had the satisfaction of seeing only 2 per cent of their herds succumbing to the ravages of cold. "Heretofore," said Commissioner Sells, in speaking of the venture of the Indians, "our conduct of the stock business among Indians of the various tribes has consisted largely of the upbreeding and development of herds. Everywhere, the Indians have taken tremendous interest in their stock, both as to tribal herds and those individually owned, and the increase in number and value has been such as to insure a business man's profit." In the good old days it was the policy of the Indian tribes on reservations to lease their grazing lands to white cattle owners at some ridiculously low figure with the usual result that the white man made most of the money. Within the past three years, however, the Indian office has been encouraging Indian stock breeding, and the financial results after two years of stock raising by the Crow Indians seem to justify the value of this policy. Three years ago, for example, one Indian reservation in the northwest had 2,800 acres under cultivation. As a result of the interior department's policy in urging the Indians to do their own farming and stock raising, this same reservation had 15,000 acres under cultivation last year. Now Prosperous Farmers. Back of the idea of encouraging farming and stock raising, however, is the basic idea of the department of the interior to change the western Indian from a plainsman into an intensive farmer. This change, of course, cannot be made in a generation, and no such rapid transformation is expected, but the Indians have met the intentions of the government more than half way, it is declared. Many Indians on reservations are now the most wealthy and prosperous farmers in their section, while as stockmen they are even more successful. The Indian of the plains, the Indian office declares, is a natural herdsman. He is a lover of horses, and readily adapts himself to the raising of cattle and sheep. During the last three years the Indian office has purchased with funds gathered by the Indians, more than $2,000,000 worth of cattle, horses and sheep, both for tribal and individual herds. In cases, however, where the department agents have been unable to persuade individual Indian land owners to go into the business of cattle raising, they have in many cases enabled the Indians to get higher prices for the leasing of grazing privileges. For instance, on the San Carlos reservation in Arizona, the Indians are now receiving about $25,000 more a year for this privilege than they received a few years ago. If the plans of Commissioner Sells and his assistants can be carried out to their fullest extent, officials believe the American Indian may some day become the cattle king of America, a vital factor in the wool market and a formidable contender for horse-breeding honors. Worked 32 Years on Quilt. Marysville, Pa.-Just 32 years ago last August Mrs. W. K. Scott of Ickesburg was married and about the same time she started to make a quilt. Now it has been "quilted." This handwork has 7,630 pieces of cloth as its component parts. It presents a variegated piece of colored work. By ALICE WYCKOFF. "One gets tired of the same man always," pouted Betty in reply to her sister's interrogative comment concerning the too evident state of affairs between her and Owen, and as Betty was never of the wallflower variety of girl, her remark seemed sufficiently explanatory. "Better not carry that sort of thing too far, my dear," advised Mrs. Moreland, with an ominous air of wisdom. Having assumed Betty as a responsibility, she naturally desired to add elcat to the bare performance of duty. "It's a risky experiment. There are always other girls, you know." "They are welcome to Mr. Owen's attention, I'm sure," remarked Betty, coolly. "A few other people are nice to me." "Now, Betty, what's the matter with you?" demanded Mrs. Moreland severely. "You gave us every reason to believe you really intended to marry Mr. Owen, a perfectly suitable match. And it's time you married somebody, unless you mean to settle into a hopeless old mald. You can't keep up this trifling forever." Betty was trying a new style of doing her hair, and at that moment was much absorbed in achieving the proper twist. "What trifling, dear?" she asked politely, when she assured herself upon the correctness of her colfur. "Betty Farleigh, you're enough to exasperate a saint," declared the indignant reformer. "After all the flirtations you have carried on, and just when we really thought you were going to be sensible, to flare up like this in a way to bring about another broken engagement. I can tell you, my lady, if you ever mean to marry, you'd better make up your mind about it soon. In n few more years you'll not have the chance." "Let us hope for the best," consoled Betty, with provoking equanimity. "I've never yet gone begging." "You will soon if you don't watch out," was her sister's vicious retort. Determined to jab her little darts deep enough to reach any sensitive nerve that might underlie Betty's invincible arm, she volunteered a little fiction she thought calculated to produce that desirable effect. "Already people are saying that Mr. Owen has been won away from you by Hester Allison's blond beauty and big fortune." "Who are 'people?'?" inquired Betty tranquilly, but the involuntary catch in her voice and the sudden flash of her eyes were not lost on her tormentor. "You are giving yourself a lot of needless worry which the facts in the case do not justify. Since you insist upon taking him seriously," she went on with a peace-at-any-price inflection in her tone, "I will tell you some things about him that you evidently do not know. Mr. Owen is simply a very correct gentleman who is eaten up with egotism, and who has favored me with a mild and uncertain admiration which in its initial stages he mistook for love. He is beginning to realize his little error now that his tentative affections are again occupied with an old sweetheart recently become a widow. "Shall I enter the lists with this paragon? Shall I run after him? I think I see myself! On the contrary, I have just sent back his ring, with a polite note regretting that I won't be able to see him again before leaving for my long visit to Mabel Dacre. So, as they say in diplomatic affairs, I hope you will recognize that the Owen incident is closed, and won't worry yourself any more about it. I'm sure I shan't." This unwontedly long and sober speech from Betty was a genuine surprise to her sister, to whom a jealous or neglected Betty was a novel and incredible idea requiring effort to assimilate. "Perhaps you would better manage it in your own way, my dear," she said meekly, and withdrew to adjust her mind to this novel situation. But Fate—and Owen—refused to consider the incident closed. That very evening when the last visitor had departed from Betty's parlor there came a quick, imperious ring at the door bell. Thinking that her visitor had forgotten his cane, umbrella or other of his belongings, Betty opened the door to admit him. He was a harassed, appealing Owen, whose heart was in his eyes, and who held out both hands eagerly in a way very different from the correct nonchalance of his ordinary manner. "Ive been hanging round here for an hour waiting for that fellow to leave," he burst out impetuously. "Oh, Betty, I didn't know I could care so much for any woman living. Whatever I've done to offend you, and I swear I don't know what it can be, won't you forgive me? Tell me what's wrong, won't you!" Betty gazed at him with wondering eyes, and her lips began to tremble. "I thought you were still in love with that hateful June, and wanted to be free," she confessed humbly. "What rot," he declared rudely. "I can never be grateful enough to her for preferring Hart, poor fellow. Won't you take me back, Betty? It's my only chance to be happy." And Betty, with a queer tremulous smile, that almost turned to tears, answered in a way that doubtless was perfectly satisfactory to Mrs. Moreland. (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) "A youngster like that has no business to be teaching school," Mr. Merwin, known familiarly to the mystic circle of his underlings as "Billy," looked after Margaret Baker who was on her way to her classroom humming a little tune, jingling her keys and thinking, "Billy's a pill. He's the kind that thinks that the meanest, scrawniest, stupidest man in the world is better than the finest woman ever made." "She looks pale," Billy continued to himself. "Not enough sleep. Her idea of living is to work for enough money to buy satins and slippers so she can go to a dance every night weekdays and spend Saturdays in a beauty parlor. Not that she needs it." he added grudgingly. "She's the prettiest girl I ever saw." "I wish," growled Billy that night as he unlocked his own door and switched on the light, "that the people upstairs would keep quiet tonight and let me sleep. That baby has cried for three days, and that woman has walked the floor over my head until I'm nearly crazy. I'll go out and have a cigar on the back porch and look at the stars' awhile. Maybe they will get settled before I turn in." He thought of a number of things as he smoked. How he had planned to be an engineer when he went to college and how he had been compelled to postpone his plan; how his chum, Jack Emery, had gone on and finished, and of the time Jack's sister had visited him. Margaret Baker looked something like her, he thought. There was a sudden crash. A dish of china or glass whizzed past his head and smashed on the bricks below. But the contents, something warm and gluey, was clinging like a besetting sin to Billy's coat, trousers and shoes. "Well, I'll be darned!" said Billy furiously. "What on earth do they leave their meals outside-for to ruin other people's clothes? That's the same bunch that walks the baby all night. I think this is a pretty good time to tell them what I think of them. I'll go right up as I am and make them help me clean it off." Dripping·gelatine, he knocked imperatively on the door above, through which infantile walls were coming, and almost instantly it opened. "I would like you to see the damage your—" He got no further. "Mar—Miss Baker!" he exclaimed. "I didn't know you lived here. I came up to tell you that something fell off your back porch and—" "My gelatine!" cried Margaret in dismay, shifting the crying, baby from one shoulder to the other. "I made that gelatine myself and put it there to harden. And I'm not half as sorry about your clothes as I am for poor Mrs. Doogan. But if you will come in, I'll try to get it off." In a few minutes the crying stopped and Margaret came in with a basin of warm water and a cloth. He caught her hand. "Do you think I'm actually going to let you wash me off!" Margaret was silent. "Say, Miss Baker, whose baby is that?" "Mrs. Doogan's" "Who is Mrs. Doogan?" "Tommy is in my room at school. He's staying here now while his mother is sick. He's in my bed asleep." "How did you find out about his mother?" "Don't you remember, the truant officer told us about Tommy couldn't come? 'Mother sick, father out of work' was the report." "Yes, I remember now. Never thought of it again." "So I bring Tommy and the baby here after school and do what I can for the others in the mornings." Billy was looking very queer. "Is that why you always have the highest percentage of attendance, because you buy shoes for Lizzie, and get work for Mike's father, and nurse bubles for the Doorsans?" Something in the man's eyes made her drop her own quickly again. "Miss Baker, Margaret," he said. "T always think of you that way, it's my turn to talk and I'm going to tell you something, and that is, just what a mean, contemptible fellow I am. Without any justice I condemned you for a feather-brined butterfly because you are light-hearted and cheerful. And here you've been losing sleep night after night without a mumur while I've been pitying myself for several things. Look here, you go get that baby and give him to me. I'll take care of him. And you go to bed and get some sleep. Go on, now. Do as I tell you. No, don't go either. There's something more I may as well tell you now as have it burn a hole in my brain. I love you, Margaret! I never knew it was in me to adore anyone as I do you. That's all. I had to say it. Please forgive me; I know how you despise me. Now get the baby and I'll go." But outside the door with his squirming burden he heard his name called softly. "Billy!" came through the keyhole faintly. "Oh, Billy!" "Yes!" he turned as though to go back. "I love you, Billy!" said the voice. And Mr. Merwin, woman hinter, nearly dropped the baby. (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
