In another min 'NORATHEKIDNAPER | —eto— | | By HORACE BRIGHT. “Sure, Mrs. Flaherty, there be a child crying in the basement. You can ‘ hear it if yez listen when you be pass- ing,” sald Mrs. Grady to little Mrs. | Flaherty, the carpenter’s wife. The two women were residents in | the same tenement house in the city. It wae not a squalid part, though the ! congestion made it an unhealthy one. It was clean enough, and Mrs. Fla- | herty’s deft fingers kept the interior of her four rooms almost spotless. But Michael had been out of work for six weeks, owing to the business de- pression, and cleanliness was about all that Nora Flaherty could manage. She could not provide more food for the four hungry little mouths. Day by day Michael tramped the streets in search of work. And every peemed to go less far. The children were growing thin. Bridget, the old- | est, was five, and the rest followed at | regular gradations down to Phil, the baby of ten months. l “If it wasn’t for the children, Nora,” Michael would say wistfully, “you and ' me could start out on the tramp and do chores in the country.” That had always been their longing —a country home. But it seemed more remote than ever, now that there were six mouths to feed. Nora Flaherty listened as she stood at the entrance to the tenement house. Sure enough, she heard the pitiful cry of the child. She had seen him once— a thin little boy of six or seven years. The father was a Pole. He drank away his money every Saturday night, and returned home mad with liquor. Then he would beat the little boy, who | lay neglected all day in the dark cellar-like place, She heard him cry, and the mother instinct overflowed in her. Softly she crept down to the basement. It was] quite dark, except for the faint illu- mination from a small, dirty window !‘Tumw;imnuflg} | “; b '!*WW 4 | ,l‘f L!,,],”M"} | ‘nmu'rnm”-\rh I ”"! !‘Jl (I [l I 8at Beslde the Bed in Fear and Trem-l bling. near the celling. She turned the | handle. The door yielded. Upon the ' floor, crouched on a pile of rags, the little boy lay. He was thin and ema- clated, and he stared at her in terror, like a little wild animal, The good woman's indignation ; brought a storm of angry words to her lips. The child, thinking they were meant for him, began to whimper | again. Nora hurried upstairs and ' stood looking at the remnants of the | loaf of bread and the thin milk in the ! pitcher. There was just enough for that night. Perhaps it would go round | —If one of them did not eat, Afndl Nora’s appetite was not very large just now, With a half-guilty manner she cut n! thick slice of bread, poured out a cup- ! tul of milk, and carried the food down | to the boy in the basement. When she 8aw him fall upon the food ravenously the teare streamed down her cheeks. That afternoon Mrs. Grady came to theliioor of her tenement, “It's all right, Mrs, Flaherty,” she | sald. “Somebody's written to tl{e Chl:lfl dren’s society, and they're going to take the child away. The man’s been put in prison for stabbing another of thim Poles whin he was drunk. The soc}ety Will be here in the evening.” Nora's heart misgave her, Some- how the thought of the little, dark- eyed boy Erowing up inside the the society's big, barrack- was dreadful to contem- ought of her own babies, n her chair, a picture of plate. and she sat {; helpless woe, Suddenly a burnin g thought came to her that magde her sit up zna s:are wildly about her.
