"“ poverty temptation had come. court in which the famous case of the state vs. Walden Renstone, charged with conspiracy to defraud, had dragged its slow length for & ful week—such a time, the scene, the cli There had been little but the hum- drum progress of the law in the case until that day. The judge, Willlam Eaton, had listened to the evidence in his usual subdued manner. The at- torneys and the jury had been impa- tient to conclude their labors before the approaching holiday. The fate of the prisoner had been forestalled. It seemed patent that Walden Renstone, accused of selling fraudulent bonds with the collusion of a band of disrep- utable brokers, was guilty. He had a good lawyer, however, and every point in the case was stubbornly con- The last evidence was in, the state was about to begin its argument, when a woman, deeply veiled, who of the Philadelphia Association of Day Nurseries, a reform in the han- dling of the milk supply of the city has been brought about and condi- tions which chiefly affect the babies of the poor have been greatly reme- to the man who had sent him on the mission, however, he told of a sudden flash of unspoken appreciation and gratitude in the wife’s eyes. It was the last flicker of hope in a broken, wasted life. A few minutes after Judge Eaton had entered his chambers the next morning, two associate judges came to him. They looked serious and troubled. “Judge,” spoke one of them, “we are your friends, as you know. Your de- cision fn the Renstone case has caused a great deal of criticism? We fear the bar association will demand an in- vestigation.” He extended a folded document. “Read it,” he said, stone-faced, not a quiver in his masterly mien. It was, his formal resignation of the judge- ship. From that day Judge Eaton disap- peared from public view. It was ru- mored that he had retired to a small f had sat beside the prisoner all through the trial, arose to her feet, threw back her veil and confronted the judge and jury. If the eyes of the court room had family estate, Then current gossip told of a heavy property loss, of his serious {llness, and then the world forgot him. From that illness, three years after died. The association, made up of woman representatives of the board of man- agers of twenty-two day nurseries, has procured the enforcement of an ordi- nance prohibiting the sale of “dipped milk,” except in shops where eggs, butter and bread are sold. Following the baby-saving show of | last spring, and still keeping in mind lessons of the milk show of the prev- ifous year, members of the association, determined to safeguard as far as they could the lives of the babies, en- trusted to the care of their nurseries and started a systematic investigation of milkshops in the neighborhood of the nurseries. The infant mortality committee which undertook the investigation ap- plied to leading physicians who have had the work of baby-saving under their direction and procured the serv- fces of an investigator who has had been fixed upon the judge instead of | yo had made the sacrifice of wealth, | experience in public health work. upon this woman, there would have been noticed a quiver pass over the austere face, dignity, self-control go hurtling to the winds, a sudden pallor obscure the set, statuesque features. U He Extended a Folded Document. Then, with his glance riveted, fas- cinated, Judge Eaton simply bowed as the woman made a request to speak in behalf of her husband. “Let me plead for him, let me tell my story!” she cried. “Guilty or In- nocent, give me the opportunity to show that he is more sinned against than sinning.” “Object!” cried the attorney for the state. “Overruled,” came mandatorily from the lips of the judge, and the abashed attorney stood petrified at this distinct violation of precedent and usage, Then, as one in a dream, the judge « ; sat with bent head, his hand gripped » | to hold stcady the norves that had hitherto been asiron, disrupted at the sight of a face he had not scen for S | eightecn long and bitter years. It was a pitiful story the woman { told, of a reckless man with a loyal, patient wife. He had been deceived by bad compaunions. En the midst of Look at him—a consumptive, a physical wreck. The doctors, she said, had given him up to die, his span of life was limited. The vivid eloquence of this faithful helpmeet brought tears to the eyes of nearly every person in the courtroom. As in a daze the judge listened to the arguments that followed. As in a dream he went back in his life twenty years. The only woman in whom he had ever been interested was this woman. He had known her as Lucile Danvers, at a distance. She had married Ren- stone—he had never forgotten. And now, in her forlorn plight she had revealed herself as the wife of the man whose name the judge had almost forgotten. years crumble like putty at that sin- gle appealing glance from the eyes of the worn, weary woman, so changed from the lovely, artless girl who had never known that he loved her. He had never attached any blame to her, for he had never spoken the word that might have won her. And now her life’s happiness was at stake. And now—the great judge arraigned the hollow, lonely life he led, and—de- cided. Conviction was in the faces of the jurymen, triumph in that of the attor- ney for the state. The prisoner sat white and shrunken, despair in his un- happy eyes. The eloquence of his wife’s appeal had dissipated under its keen dissection by the prosecutor. Then came the charge of the judge to He worshiped her | position and judicial honor out of sympathy for a woman, Judge Eaton come back to consciousness to find a beautiful young girl at his side. She had acted as his nurse for over a month. She had seen to it that in | his straightened circumstances he was | surrounded with every comfort money could supply. And in a day or two she told him who she was—the daughter of Walden | and Lucile Renstone. Both were dead, but had spent two years of comfort and peace since he had saved her father from imprisonment. | An unexpected fortune had come to Renstone. Dying, he had directed his daughter to pay oft all he had embez- | zled. Dying, her mother had blessed the noble man who had sacrificed his | all for her in her darkest hour. ! She had directed Florence to find him, to tell of her undying gratitude. And it was she who had come to the judge’s side wlen all others had for- gotten him. Judge Eaton cared no more for am- bition. But he was still a compara- tively young man. The fair girl, so like her mother, clung to him fondly. He told her she must establish her- gelf with some relatives or friends. “Do not send me away!” she plead- ed. Remember, I am as friendless and lonely as yourself. I seek only to devote my life and service to the no- blest man in the world.” And so new brightness and hope came to the man the world had re- Jected, and interest on his part and gratitude on the part of Florence Renstone, grew into a love that united | them in a marriage radiant and happy.

The shops were viewed from every angle that would make them places where it would be prejudicial to the child health to have its milk supply stored. The source of supply, the condition of refrigerating facilities. occupancy of the house and the methods employed in handling were gone into and a card index was made of all plices visited. The research showed many flagrant violations of the milk regulations of the department of health. All sorts of menacing conditions were discovered. One of the chief causes of complaint was found to be the cigar and candy shops in which milk was sold in bulk. In many of these no attempt was made to keep the milk at an even temperature, or to ward off the flies which infested the places. The milk was carelessly handled and dipped out with any sort of a dipper and in any sort of a way. Reports of these conditions were in. stantly made to the bureau of health, which acted upon them in two cases, revoking licenses, and in every in. stance prohibiting the sale of dipped or loose milk in any stores except those which handle bread, eggs or butter and which are qualified to give proper care. The object of the assoclation is to safeguard, by concerted effort, the children who are entrusted to various nurseries and to study their home en- vironment and the conditions which i affect their health.
