Miriam sat on the porch crooning ' s lullaby to her baby as she gently | rocked back and forth and contem- plated the quietude of the country as , It lay before her in a glory of crimson and gold. A woman came slowly up the street and paused as she caught sight of mother and babe. A woman, haggard, jaded, dust-stained, young in years, but with youth’s bloom gone from the pale cheeks and wretched eyes, flagh- Ing suddenly with a wild light as she beld out her arms in supplication. Mirlam shrank back in her chair and held her baby closer, thinking the woman finsane; but seeing her mistake, leaned forward a bit, inquir. | ing it the woman was 1ll or needed belp. “No, madam, not 1l but it has been 80 long since I've seen a baby! You are good, you are so happy, you have not seen sin; you don't know what it is to have lost your baby and g0 about the world with empty arms ‘and despairing heart. My baby s gone! It you will only let me kiss your baby, let me hold it just once—I would be more fit to die.” Intuitively, Miriam saw that this woman had suffered much; wronged her womanhood, perhaps; but suffer- ed. Pity flashed tears into her eyes— sin shocked her—but she could not send a fellow-creature away perhaps to death, without giving what help she could. Hesitating but a moment, she said: “Come, sit here beside me; baby is almost aslecp,” and rising, she laid the little bundle of warmth and fra grance in the stranger's arms. With a stifled cry the woman sank into a chair, while tearg coursed down her wan cheeks. She wept—wept with grief unspeakable—with that agony of an overcharged spirit, until in the full- ness of compassion Miriam put her arm around the shaking shoulders and tried in her gentle may to sympa- thize, The baby slept. Mirlam brought light refreshment, dainty sandwiches and cool, rich milk. Refreshed, the woman, now calm, soft- ly whispered: “If you knew what I have been you would despise me. You would not let me touch your pure, sweet baby. You have been so good, now let me go.” But Mirlam gently detalned her. “If it will help you to tell me your trouble, I may be able to ald you,” she sald. Then the woman wept again, but tenderness prevailed, and bit by bit the story of a young girl, born and 'brought up on a farm far from the | clty 8 whirl, lured away from home on promlse of marriage, then deserted, came. How her baby had been born in a charity hospital; how she had searched and searched for her faith- less lover, only to find him emerging from a great church with a radiant bride on his arm; how she had walked the streets night and day searching for work no one would give; how rea- son had left her when her baby died in her arms; how she was nurzed back to puny health by others who had suffered, who gave her a home and certain rough but tender care; how she was led on to a life of shame because she could find no other means to earn bread, and how, sickened by the revolting life, she had cast aside | her gaudy raiment and was on her way to join her dead baby. Mirlam felt the truth of her story; felt that she coyd not turn away a | soul 80 sorely distressed “I think you were more sinned against than sinning, and God has brought you to me. Will you stay with me and help me care for baby? ‘ I have great ne¢d of some one who will put love into this work, and per- haps, after a while, my baby will comfort you as your own.” | “You will take me: vou will keep me; you will let me tend your bahy? Oh, it is too much, too much!" “T will do more, by giving you love and a great trust. You can help or | harm me much: if you are loval and faithful to baby and me you will give GLOIOIOIONE Beautitul of a famous author, and js a gem will be pleased.

The wkmn lived all her long years with Mirfam and the baby. She came to be like one of the family, respected, trusted, loved, looked up to. She tended them in sickness and in health; rejoiced in their joys, sorrow- ed with their sorrows, and the next generation never knew but what she had always been one of them. Rut never in all the days of her life did Mirlam breathe to any one the ! woman's secret of her baby's grave Too Much of It. “I want'to get off, sir, to go to my grandmother's funeral.” “Tommy, this thing of your grand mother’s funeral {3 getting to be a grave matter.” Perfume Bags for Clcthing.
