"Uli. by the way," said lie, "1 would
like to get out here. Will you come
with tne? 1 will not detain you more
than a few moments, and then we will
resume our conversation. I wish be1f,
fore we part to explain to you why
1 thought you were a mother."
She consented to go with him, and
together they walked as far as the
building wherein are the rooms of the
Metropolitan Foundling society. It so
happened tliat as they wont in Colonel
Pnyton was just coming out. lie stopped
to speak to Mr. Mitcliel. but kept
his eyes on Lilian, who modestly withdrew
and stood aside.
"Well, Mitcliel," said the colonel,
"how do you prosper with your line
notions about justice, eh? Found any
one to agree with you yet?"
"I have not been looking for an advocate
of my views," said Mr. Mitcliel.
"I have been 'slumming,' colonel."
"Slumming, eh? 1 hope you haven't
a very sharp nose. Hut, I say, you
did not pick that up in the slums?"
he added as he cfist an admiring glance
at Lilian.
"That Is exactly where I found her."
so Hi Mr. Mitcliel. "I see you are not
too old to notice a pretty face."
"Too old? Well, I should say not,
sir! Hut what you tell me seems marvelous.
Found her in the slums, eh?
Well, well: What a pretty llower to
be growing among weeds!" j
"True, colonel, but then, you know,
the wind may waft the seed from the
choicest blossom into the foulest soil,
and yet these seeds may take root and
grow, and blossoms may come again."
"No doubt. Hut it's a very careless
gardener who allows good seeds to
blow away."
"True. And what shall we say of
the gardener who willfully easts lils
choicest seeds to the winds?"
"Such a man would be an ass?
or worse."
"Or worse," agreed Mr. Mltehel.
"Well added, colonel?or worse! Much
worse In this case."
"In this cnse? What do you mean?"
"I mean that this Is the blossom
from a seed cast away by the gardenia
er who Is worse than an ass, as you
have put It."
"Don't talk to me In riddles, man,"
said the colonel testily. "Speak plainly."
"I will do so. She Is a little Bowery
singer, the daughter of unknown parents,
who cast her adrift when an Infant."
"A foundling?"
"Probably; roared in the tenements
of the east side."
"You don't say so? Isn't It awful,
the amount of depravity that exists in
this world? Isn't It marvelous that a
parent would abandon his own flesh
aud blood?"
"I can Cud no excuse for sucli a
bourse," said Mr. Mltehel, "though
there might be some palliation."
"Kxcuse? palliation! Rubbish! You
don't know what you are saying."
"Listen to me, colonel. Ilere is a girl,
herself abandoned by her parents. Let
us suppose a case, one that is far from
Improbable. She has this heritage?
what we may call sin atrophied bump
of phtloprogciiltl'. euess. She is reared
in that maelstrom of vice and crime,
the great east side. Hut to return to
our simile. IIow would you expect this
tender flower, tlds hothouse plant, to
thrive lu that environment and retain
Its purity and fragrance? It grows
among weeds nnd becomes tainted
with the odor of the rank blossoms
about It. Soon n child is boru, n child
whose father .fails to acknowledge It.
8upi>ose that tlie mother, finding it n
burden, should abandon tlie* child. Is
the fault entirely hers, or must the responsibility
be shared by those from
whom she inherited the lack of motherly
love?"
"Look here, Mr. Mitchcl, you must
go elsewhere with your psychological
or physiological problem, whichever
this is. I have no time for speculations
of that nature. I am too practical. Hut
.? I hope tills girl's story Is not"?
"Oh. I am only giving you a bypo^
thetleal case!" hastily interjected Mr.
* Mitchcl. "Hut I say, colonel, you can
do me n favor. Will you?"
"What Is it?"
"1 wish to take this young won?

He led the way. and Mr. Mitchcl '
went over to Lilian, and. taking her j* *
inn. they followed. As they passed ,f

VIr. Mitchel handed Lilian a chair and

CHAPTER XV. "V
I'ERDITA. OUgl
Colonel Payton observed this scene thev
iu great surprise, while Mr. Mitehel
only smiled, the denouement of Ids Mite
experiment being what lie had expected.
Lilian sat in tlie chair and crooned
over her baby, apparently oblivious of
those who stood near her.
"When you brought this girl here,
did you think she was tlie baby's mother?"
asked Colonel Payton. ?>
*1 thought so," said Mr. Mitehel,
"but I was not sure. Slie denied it.
Therefore I brought the mother and uV
child together, relying upon the iustincts
of nature to reveal tlie truth.
There Is yet much to be explained,
however."
"Much to .be explained!" cried the
colonel. "I should say so. She will /
have to explain why she abandoned
the child, and she must explain it be- j
fore a jury too."
"Before a jury? What do you mean?" j
"I mean that I will have her detained I
here until tlie authorities are informed
of what has taken place. Then she
must go to prison. I have no doubt
that with your assistance she will he
Indicted by the grand Jury." "Sh(
"Oil, indeed! But you will not have
my assistance." "It
"You mean you will not testify Mor
against her. Well, well! You are a wail
poor citizen. You hesitate to do your
duty, deterred l>y a pretty face. If all afTal
men were like you, crime would go |
unpunished." case
"You are quite correct, colonel. If all Ing!
men shared my views, tlie punishment "C
of crime would be abolished." ,4It
"Bali! It makes me sick to hear a note
man of your brains indulge in such the
mawkish sentimentality. You allow ring
your senses to be led astray by a worn- 'pj
nn's pretty face. This woman has com- SOei
mltted a crime, and she must sudor now
the consequences. You are new at this <>
sort of tiling, but I am an old hand. 1 Wro
know my duty." nnd
"And you think It is your duty to Rtrt>
punish this child?" Mrs
"Why, no?not the child, but the Tlia
mother." The colonel did not quite T1

The latter therefore ndded: Prci

child!" to 11
"Oi?! I see what you mean. But thro
youth is no excuse in a case of this in c
kind." her
"Then you are determined to ha^e tliot

"Why, who else could have done It?" the
"Why not the father? Fathers have wer

The subject evidently was distaste- dan
ful to the colonel, and, besides, It was and
ever his habit when he found himself The
worsted in an argument to bring the bin}
conversation to an abrupt close, eg he com
endeavored to do now. ?nid
"That's most unlikely," said he. Wei
"Anyway 1 leave the proof to the dls- |md
trlct attorney. It Is none of my busl- nwl
ness." . trie
"You are mistaken. It Is exactly Wro

Mr. Mitchel approached Lilian, who hall
was still busy playing with her baby hon
and talking In a low tone with the gon
matron, w'lio sympathized with the exp
pretty young mother. Touching her Jder
gently on the shoulder to attract her g0v

During last May an infant child of
our neighbor was suffering from cholera
infantum. The doctors had given up
all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy to the house, telling
them I felt sure it would do good
if used according to directions. In
two days time the child had fully recovered.
The child is now vigorous
and healthy. I have recommended
this remedy frequently and have never
known it to fa.il.-Mrt. Curtis Baker,

There nre four mots upon which Hoston
particularly prides herself. Motley
made one of tliem. "(live me the luxuries
of life, and 1 will dispense with Its
necessities." Tom Appleton made another.
"Cood Americans, when they
die, go to I'arls." A lady, name withheld,
but quoted by Emerson. made
the third. "The consciousness of being
perfectly well dressed gives a feeling
of inward tranquillity which religion Is
powerless to bestow." These three
have long been famous, but Higglnson
matched the best of them when be remarked,
