HOW THEY MET AND PARTED. v
!,
And How Linht Was Thrown on the h
Problem That the Woman, Who was i p
French and Voluble, and the In- o
fant, Who Was American, Presented, t
Xot very Ion:; after having taken je
charge of one of the consulates in ;p
' France 1 was one morning seated at a
my desk busily engaied in figuring is
over mv quarter! v accounts, when sud ^
t
denly a woman carrying a bundle in : ,
I hei arms appeared before me. 1 find ^
not resided in Frane*. ufiieiently long p
10 lmuiue me unauuiieruu-u r rturu pu- v
; liteness. but 1 bad progressed suf- a
! ficientiy to ask: ti
"Madame, what can 1 have the pleas- e
| ure of doing for you this morning?"
"Monsieur." she exclaimed, walking J
| toward me. holding out the bundle as e
if to deposit it on my desk, "this is an
1 American baoy. What snail 1 do with f;
j It?" | f;
j Abashed at the prospect of so sud- 'j
j denly becoming a father with the or- | b
! an^e blossoms aud rice omitted and h
i . 1
(knowing that the American govern-; ;l
! rnent hud established no precedent of 11
! maintaining orpbau asylums either at i<
! home or abroad. I hesitated a moment1 y
and replied: I a
"Will the madaine please be seatedj S
; over there by the door ;ind tell me C
t why. being a Frenchwoman, she has c
: become possessed ot an American d
| baby V" j ij
It never occurred to me to examine a
the little bundle of humanity. 1 had in f
i previous times rather prided myself on t
! my ability to distinguish the nation- o
j ality of people, had even boasted 1 s
I could tell them by their shoes, out 1 d
| had nevor tried toy perceptive powers I:
! on infant physiognomies. . j a
"Voila!** she said, sen tin? herself. h
1 shall never foriret that word voila. ^ t>
It was one of the first French words 1 j t
ever learned You know it means?oh, d
so many things when used exclama- c
* ? ? - ?.-? I 1 I<s n fttiAtln Kit t !7 I
i torny, as n ^t*utjr<ui.v i>. i/juau;, uu?>- |
ever, to tbe Deginner in tbe French j
language it conveys the .meaning ot I
"Here it is." That was about as far as E
I bad progressed in my French educa- J
tion at that time in regard to the many r
varied meanings ot voila. and 1 de- in
termined that if it meant the baby then :
it would retain its geographical loca- j
tion indefinitely-that is, in tbe wom- .ri
an's lap over by the door, or preferably ;
* *? - ** J* a. < r*
j outside Hut ner vona rererrea ni>c ?
j so much to the infant as to the story o
of how it came to be in her possession.j
j She talked volubly while I tried to as- j v
sume the defensive power of silence, j f
[ But to a Frenchwoman?well, silence' f
'simply means wbat the jockey gives!
the horse in the last heat?encourage- j i<
ment. ! I
From the verbal French cyclone she f
burled at me 1 gathered a few fragments
that enabled me to understand,
j For three months she had been em!
ployed as nurse by an American worn-' t
an who had paid her good wages. Four |
weeks previously, however, the mother
had returned to New York, saying she |
was going over for only two or three :
days on an urgent business matter and;
would return at once. She had not seen ,
or heard of her since. BeiDg a woman {
who had to work for her own living, j
the baby was a burden on her hands, i
She could hardly support herself, much
less provide for the infant, and as the;
child was of American parentage she;

j ican government ought to take earejt
i of it.
J 1 suggested that 1 would .write to the j
1 city authorities in New York asking as,
' to the genuineness of the address that > ^
the woman said the mother bad left ?
with tier. j d
! "And what shall 1 do during all the l<
time you are waiting for an answer? ' i
starve?" 1 c
My answer finally was a twenty^
j franc goid piece. with which she de- J t
; parted, saying she would try to take ?
j care of the baby until l could hearj 1
I from rhe New York authorities.
Now. the reasonable and the unrea;
sonable part or the story is that since
hur riurm rmrcv fhonirh the sun has i J
risen hundreds of times, she has never! t
returned It had not riseii more than1 t
seven times, however, before 1 learned t
l the reason. t
It was just one week later at an in- j t
' formal dinner of the sixteen consuls 1 i
! wlio resided in the city that in the; c
| course of a conversation with my Ital- j t
i ian colleague- I told him the story of;
i the woman and the haby. What do

; I was fortunate to get rid of her for a
50 francs." r
In the general conversation that fol-c

had visited every one of the sixteen I

PERSISTENT BEAVERS.
Battle of Wits Between the Animals (
and the Engineers. j i
When the Grant] Trunk railway ran ,
:s line across a swamp in a game pre- <
srve on the line of the Alberta Rock- <
;s there was a wonderfully construct- i
3 beaver dam Lioldins ttie water back I
) flood the swamp. s
This in the eyes of the game warden I
ras pure waste, and he ordered the <
ngineers to prevent it without harm- f
2g the beavers. Of course the dam
ould have been blown up wifoh dynalite,
but that would have meant the
path of most of the little animals and j
eath very likely in great pain at that j
So the engineers cut an opening In (
be dam. The mud had become almost j
s hard as concrete, and it took the ,
ien three days to get the water run- ,
ing out steadily. Then, thinking their \
roubles with the industrious little fel- j
>ws over, they started work on the j
iilway through the swamp. ,
Soon the water began to rise, and j
he work was stopped in a few hours,
"he engineers made all haste to the
am and found the animals had repair- j
d the cut and made it tight again. f
A fresh cut was made, but after the ,
nen had gone the beavers busied j
?n/i moHn It- crmnTor than
LlCLlJOCi v C3 auu uiuu^ aw vrunv. wv...
ver. Worfc was again stopped on the I j
ailroad within a few hours.
Then a deep hole was made In the j .
arth fn.f under the darn. The beavers |
rere much puzzled. Never before had j
hey seen water go down Into the!
round and come up far away. But I
hey lent their whole attention to the ! j
roblem, and the^work on the railroad }
ras again stopped as a consequence
nd the foundations soaked with ?vaer.
Then followed an engagement of
fits between the beavers and the engineers.
But every time the men
ound a way to cut the dam in a new
>lace the beavers found a way to ,
top it.
The road was finally constructed by
rorUlng a rew nours at a uiue. auu iue j j
oss to the contractors amounted to
aore than $5,000.?Detroit Free Press.

him to send for the sweepers,

Aisle on the Car In a Wreck.
A veteran railroad man gave a piece
of valuable advice not long ago.
"If you ever get into a wreck," be
said, "and have time to follow out this
suggestion, remember this: AJways
stand in the aisle. Most of the Injuries
that are suffered ocr-ur because the victim
is crushed between 'tbe seats. If
you are in tbe aisle you may be thrown
forward and bruised a little, but there
!s much less chance of receiving serious
hurts. It isn:t always possible to
get out of your seat before the crash
comes, but if it is follow that advice." -
