This time the colonel did not bluster.
There was that In Mr. MltchcTs volcci

in a low tone:

"Well, then, tell me this?d>d you

"Yes," said the colonel in low tones

"Also a girl?"
"Yes."
"The same mollier?"
"Yes."
"By heavens, I knew It! The next
hlng to bo done Is to trace that cbllu,
nd we have but 24 hours. It seems
opoless."
"It may not be. That baby was born
i a maternity hospital. We could go
here. Perhaps their records might

"This Is fortunate. I feared that she

lust visit that Institution at once."
They had not far to go and were
shercd Into the presence of the house
liyslclan, a young woman whose face
ras made lovely by her sweet sympahy
for her sorrow laden patients. It
i*ns quickly explained to her that a
at her sought his child, wishing to ofer
her his love nnd protection. On
his statement access to the records
rns at once granted, and without dllflulty
they found the name under
rhicli the mother had been received.
,here nlso was a record of the birth
nd sex of the child, while In the last
olumn, written In red Ink, appeared
he,significant word, "Adopted," folowed
by the date.
"By whom was she adopted?" asked
ilr. Mitehel.
"Ah! Of that wo keep no record,"
aid the doctor.
"Do you mean that a child Intrusted
o your cars is allowed to d&ss thus

completely from ?our supervision7"
"No; It Is not so bad as that. Bn
we deem It best that the name of i
person who adopts a child should b

receive patients here without demam
ing their real nanu s, purposely, tha
the children may not be too casll

charity. So also we make 110 regis! r
of those who take children away. Tli
adoption may be as seeret as the ue\
parents may desire, all this for th
phlld's sake."

"Here is a mother to all the mother

"You wish to speak to 1110, gentle
men?" said she in a voice as gentle a;
the flow of a rippling brook.
"We wish very much to trace a chili
who lias been adopted from this insti
tution," said Mr. Mitcliel. "This gen
tlcmau is her father." t
"Yes. The doctor has told 1110 ot
whom you seek information. I do not
mean to bo unkind, but this is a profound
secret which you wish me tc
divulge. I cannot without good reasons
disclose it even to the father who
comes after his child so late. I must

.1.W.1VOIC* ui iuu gin.
Air. Alitchel found himself in n
quandary. It would be impossible to
disclose his purpose to this old lady,
She would very properly hesitate tc
nccept his story without investigation,
and that would entail a delay which
would entirely upset his plans. lie
deemed it best, therefore, to resort to
circumlocution.
"But suppose that I tell you that
this gentleman Is rich; that he can
give his child a very luxurious home'.'"
The matron smiled as she answered:
"She has every luxury now that
money cau buy. She has more than
that?the love of a mother who worships
her. Iler adopted father is dead,
and he has bequeathed $3,000,000 to
her."
Both men started in amazement.
What a fortune for nn outcast! What
a difference between her fate and her
sister's! But Air. Alitchel was much
pleased and replied:
"You seem to keep a fairly accurate
$?vour charges even after
years, is it not,u " '
"The girl is quite as old as that, but
we have a regular system. The parents
are required to report to us regularly
and occasionally to send us a
photograph. In this way we have
some corroboration of what they write
us. If 1 lot children are not.well cared
for, we often detect It by a comparison
of their pictures, taken from year to
year."
"Then you have this girl's photograph
also."
"Yes, indeed, mauy of them."
Air. Alitchel now endeavored to gain
his point by strategy. Taking a photograph
from his pocket, he suddenly
held it before the old lady and asked:
"Do you recognize that?"
"Why, it is"?
The matron was taken by surprise,
yet so careful was she of her- secret
that she stopped before mentioning the
name which had risen to her lips. But
Air. Alitchel was satisfied and completed
the sentence for her:
"It is Perdlta!" said he.
CHAPTER XVIII.
AX APPEAL. TO T1IK HEART.
They had scarcely left the maternity
hospital when the colonel evinced his
Impatience to know more of his other
daughter.
"Mitchel," lie exclaimed, "in heaven's
name, do not keep me in suspense!
You evidently know who and where
my other child'is. Tell me ail at
once."
"It Is most extraordinary, colouei,"
said Mr. Mitchel, "and most painful.
The simple fact is that the father ot
that abandoned baby, the lover of youi
jouuger daughter, is contemplating an
elopement with your elder child."
"Impossible! You eauuot mean it!
God would not permit such an outrage?to
abandon my little Lilian ami
her child and to marry her sister! II
would be too horrible!"
"Ah! But the man does not know
of^tlie relationship. Who would guess
that such a Jink connects the Viftl
avenue palnce with the slum tene
meut? And yet," he added, musing
"It seemed so very obvious that I won

"No, colonel. Hear me out. I carried
the picture in my pocket and looked
at it from time to time, becoming
more aud more convinced that somewhere

colonel. "Why?why, man, the Van
