Then he added aloud: "What would he your idea of a lit uug puiiisiimciu, coionei: "I am sorry to say that my Ideas air the law do. not agree on that polnl The law allots seven years In the per Itentlary for abandonment of a child But In this ease there was an evidon Intent to kill. Otherwise the Infan wouhl have been placed on a doorste or rather conspicuous spot where i could be found. If 1 had my way. would give the guilty party 20 years a least." "What good would that do?" aske Mr. Mltcliel. lie said It so- qulckl and the words were such a surprise t the colonel that the latter was not plused for a moment, and then h blurted out excitably: "What good would It do? It woul tench liim a lesson and others as wel wouldn't It? It would show people c this class that If they have chlldro they must enre for them or go to prk on, wouldn't It?" "I think It would be better," said M Mttcbel, "to tench people that wlie they have children they must care ft them without going to prison." "A line theory," sneered tuo colouo "And how would you accomplish tha yiujr 4 ' _ "OI?- 1 do not uy that It la a slmpl problem. But, eolouel, nt present seems to me that the law lias a wron aim in view. If a man abandons child?I say a man, for It is the fathc who should support mother and chili and it is only through penury that tli ordinary mother yields up her progenj Sf the father, then, fails in his dut: the law locks him up, nt present.

"And how would you have it work? asked the colonel, still sneerlug, but it terested in spite of himself. "I have observed," continued Ml Mltcliel, "that foundlings belong t twn *-? -?. ????* are til ? children of the very poor, to whom tli . *' added burden of another mouth to fee Is too great. The youngest born I abandoned In order that those wli have preceded it and who have earue a place in the parents' hearts niny no sufTer. In these cases I see a good licl< for charity.

"But t suppose that the man has 110 means of i , supporting his child, or, worse yet, suppose that he be already n married man ?" "in tuo inner event, or course, a marriage between him and his victim would be impossible, but In any ease he could be made to support ids child, which would be more just to the infant than the imprisonment of the man." "But how, in the name of conscience, can you make a man support a child if there is no alternative punishment?" "Oil! I did not say that there should be 110 punishment. I only argued against imprisonment. This is a titling use for the whipping post. Corporal punishment is sometimes more effectual than any other. For example, if all married men guilty of this crime should be publicly Hogged once a mouth for a year after conviction 1 think much would be accomplished toward a regeneraey of the moral status of the community. But let me answer you as to the compulsory support of the child, If the man lias means, it would be easy enough for the court to allot a specified monthly payment to the motht er and child. To insure such payment a part of the culprit's property could be ' placed under tlie guardianship of the L> public administrator, not actually com s dseatcd, but so arranged that no dls position eouhl be made of It against the Interests of the child." y "But suppose the man has no visible 0 means of supportV" "A man who can work and won'l " work must be made to work. If he can bo made to work for the state in prison, surely he can be compelled te work for Ills child out of prison. 1 '* think if a man were Hogged evcrj ' week until he would make an honest 1 effort to obtniu employment he would 1 soon look eagerly for work. Of course I' he might do this and not succeed, lr 1 which case, when lie had proved his * willingness to tlo his eluty, lie would 1 have reached the same plane as the father in the lirst class and would be a worthy object of assistance." > "1 guess we'll have to send you te () the legislature," saitl the colonel, wlic '* found that he was getting the worst ol the argument, and so preferred to let the topic drop. "Would you like to set ( the latest applicant for assistance uu ' der your scheme?" 1 "I would Indeed," said Mr. Mltchel ^ and together they entered. The colonel led the way across tin p room, the matron rising from lierchaii and following them. u "I want to show this gentleman oui >1 I ?... ugll?i UUIIIUCI, B1I1U 1UU coiouei. "She's a little angel," said the ma tron, turning down the coverlet. ' "You mean she might have been,' sold the colonel grimly. "That Is wbn tier x?nrents noped, Mrs. Martin." il "The inhuman brutes!" exclaimet 8 the matron. "I wish I could see then a both behind the bars. They ought t< ?r get 20 years at least." ' Mr. Mltchel smiled. The present sys ie tem apparently Is so universally ac ' ecptable that it would be a hereuleai ^ task to remodel the laws to meet i lV more seientitie and philanthroph scope. Philanthropy toward criminal! le ?how strange the words would soun< r In the public ear! The advocate of sucl (l. a system would be considered a luuatl or at least a crank. 0 Mr. Mitcliel stooped over the crib ant j gazed Into the great blue eyes, whlcl j seemed unduly large because of th ^ pinched and starved little face. Yet tin hands and fee# were still fat and chub ? by, the four days of exposure not liav lag been enough to reduce them in an; apparent degree. L. "She would be a pretty child if he " face was not so thin," ventured Mr ? ui4vi.vi, rwttug mat he was at bos but a poor judge of such young spec! (j uicns of humanity. g "She would be pretty!" cried the ma Q tron Indignantly. "She Is pretty?tin j prettiest little girlie that has been ii this room in many a day!" j Mrs. Martin had once had a baby o e her own. a tiny, sickly little thing ^ which had soon withered and tiled. Ilu the yearnings of motherhood arousei q by that little cherub had never quit* . died out. and when her husband was j. killed shortly afterward, leaving hei ( alone in the world and hopeless In hei j dearest desire, she had gladly aeceptei v this position, where she could do ant. I otliers as slie would have done for hei own. Each baby placed in her care foi . a lew uays reminded lier of lier own e lost darling. and lier lieart went out tc It so completely that the final ncpura B tlon nlwnys left her gloomy ami doj spoudent, a condition which would ecu tlnuo until the next outcast woe j brought Id. ] This baby lu some manner had attracted her more than ordinarily, per, haps because of Its unusually end his} tory, nnd she resented even praise f which was not given In full measure; } so she lifted the little one up lu her . arms and held her out for inspectiou. , "Did you ever see such pretty feet7 , Look at her toes?Just as perfect as the , Lord ever made! And see the dimples! . Ain't they Just lovely?" She kissed , each dimple rapturously nnd then continued: "Just look nt her hands! They are pretty enough to belong to the quality. Now. I hold that the hands tell the breeding better than anything, and ouo or tlio otlior of tho uaronta of mis youug taciy is uign uimi, o? i'm uu ttl? judge." , Slie looked about as tbougb defying 1( contradiction, but neither man cared to dispute tbe polut vitb ber. so Mrs. e,| Martin's testimony stood, as tbe tcstl- 4( tuouy of all experts should. "She certainly has beautiful bands," said Mr. Mltchel. by way of recovering n tbe good graces of tbe matron. "Just look at tbciu, colonel!" "Ob, 1 have already admired all tbe s J' young lady's poiuts!" said the colonel. "Haven't I. Mrs. Martin?" lie reached forward and playfully tickled the youngster in tbe ribs, whereupon she grasped his thumb In her baud and gripped It tightly. "Indeed you have, colouel," said the wi matron. "I must say you seem to have 'in taken quite a fancy to the baby, and lus see there, now, how she takes to you! 'n I wonder, colonel, you don't adopt tlid at dear little cherub." m' "Adopt! I adopt a baby!" The colonel laughed heartily. "Imagine an old soldier like me, amT a bachelor besides, adopting a baby, and a girl baby in the "u bargain!" th Again he laughed, while the baby, as co though advocating her cause, stretched ?" .out her other arm and danced as though desiring to be taken, whereupon the matron delightedly handed a over her charge, which snuggled up 1 ! against the old soldier, still clinging to 1 his great thumb. "There, now," said Mrs. Martin, m' "ain't that a pretty picture? And, as to sa your being a bachelor, the more sliamc c" i to you! I hold that bachelors should do ? their share toward supporting tliechll drcu in the world as well as others. > ' There's many a poor father with more ? ' brats than lie can feed, while there's |u others with plenty of money that just ' shirks. They just leaves the babies for ,e i other people to raise. No otTeuse to sv you, of course, colonel i" Mrs. Martin added her last words > hastily, as the colo?:el had suddenly, ^ and seemingly without reason, stopped laughing and was liaudiug back the child. Perhaps she had been too fat miliar with one of her superiors, but 'u she was so anxious to see this little tot ' secure a good berth in the world that ')l ' slio had forgotten herself for the time, t "YcJu arc talking stulT and nonsense. Wl Mrs. Martin." said the colonel stiffly no i as he yielded up the child. "You are ?I: > old enough to have better sense. 1 BO 1 am astonished. Come. Mitchell If ' }-ou have seen enough, we'll go. Or t perhaps you are looking for a child for l1c I adoption?" "No; not that." said Mr. Mitchcl I),n i earnestly and looking squarely at the ' colonel. "Hut I would like you to ar- 'n I range it so tliat no disposition will be 1,1 made of this child without mj' kuowl* w > edge." flil "Certainly, If you wish it. Hut why?" J1' ' "Hecause I mean to put my theory ' into practice. I mean to discover the " f father of that child and compel him to ' support it." ^ 1 "The devil you do!" w The colonel was astounded. Mr. uc Mltchel was evidently crazier that he to . had thought. Theories were well ut enough, hut if one tried to put them i into practice his mind must he weak* tl1 i* ening. w "Such is my intention," persisted Mr. fo r Mltchel. cn "I wish you Joy In your venture," enitl tim ooionei, with his most satlr- n ical sneer. ni Refore following the colonel from the * room Mr. Mltchel stooped over and kissed the habv and hold ho.* * Ills for a moment. Ho had Imagined 1 something and wished to confirm or dismiss the idea. While the baby had ' been clasping the colonel's thumb he J( had noted a peculiarity about the colo- tc nel's hand. The knuckle of the third finger was abnormally large, and consequently the little finger seemed quite curved at the end from lying against the protruding Joint next to It. It had * also seemed to him that the baby's fingers were similarly fashioned. lie : e therefore looked at the hand more at- ... teutlvely now that he held it within ^Ij 1 his own, and. sure enough, he found ^ the large joint of the third linger and ^ e the curved end of tlie fourth. e "And you think this hand proves c Hi ' blue blood, Mrs. Martin? "I do," said the matron positively. V "Then we will make her blucblooded father provide for her," replied Mr. 1 r Mltcliel. "That's the talk, sir, and luck go 1 with you!" sqid Mrs. Martlu, her first opinion of Mr. Mitclicl much altered in that gentleman's favor. "Take care of the little lady till her L' father calls for her," added Mr. 1 Mltcliel. "That I will, sir, and heaven bless you for a good man!" ? ' Leaving the building, Mr. Mltcliel j crossed over to Third avenue and boarded an elevated train, going down town as far as the Chatham square station, where lie descended to the street. One minute's walk brought I him to tlie quaint old burin! ground rising ten feet above the street level ' and guarded by a brick wall, surmounted by an Iron fence with spear topped pickets. As Mr. Mltcliel stood peering into tlie place an elevated train J * went by with a rumbling noise, re- ffjk minding him that lie was iu one of the ^ city 8 most public thoroughfares. Vot this little graveyard, passed by thousands dally speeding down to tlielr place of business and surrounded by tenements rtrowded to suffocation, bad. aa been chosen as a fitting spot In which , to abandon a child, and oniy one of *tl * the many liurunn beings thereabout m had found time to Interfere In behalf . of the stray waif. What an astonish, Ing commentary upon civilisation that such things could be! Mr. Mltcbel passed on to the next ^ corner and. turning, soon found him, self In front of the number given to [ him ns the address of (Jertrude (Jrlf- "Ul (in. lie paused n moment, considering what would be tlie best way to wt llnd the woman, and tlieu accosted n tul j .voucu hoodlum of 10 who cauie out of t ? bouse.
