The old jurist was correct in his sur- mises, but he had not gone deep enough into the proposition. John Randall married Betty Morse they had been very much in love one with the other. Then there had been a disappointment. No children had blessed their family hearth. The judge’s wife was distressed at the news that came to her. Once the Randalls had been close friends of the family. With a woman’s ready wit she delved deeper into affairs than her happy-go-lucky husband. Within her own mind she framed up e plan to It migh prove an experiment, but she hoped for the best. One cold winter's night John Ran- dall sat in his cheery but lonely liv- ing-room, gazing stolidly into the blaz- | i ing grate fire. He knew that on the | other side of the partition his wite was probably passing her time in the same spell of gloomy reverie. “What is that?” suddenly exclaimed Randall. It was a hard, harsh sound, as of someone pounding with a club or stone on the front porch. Randall arose and went to the door and opened ; 1t, first turning on the porch light. He fancied he saw a woman's figure scur- rying past the gate. He looked down to note a basket containing a blanket and counterpane covered with a filmy scarf. Stooping, his heart beating rapidly, he knew not why, as he drew this aside. “A baby!" doned!” At that moment the next door opened.

For the first time in two years Mrs. Randall stood with in the room. “Oh, John!"” she cried poignantly, “1 can’t endure it! The cries of this dear little child!” He relinquished the child to those tender, loving arms. He sat in a new warm haze of contentment, watching | his wife as she quieted the babe in a motherly way, hastening into her own | apartments, returning with a bottle of milk, and soon had the little one cooing contentedly in its downy nest. As the child fell asleep, husband and wife stood leaning over the slumber- ing cherub. “John,” she said, “I was all in the wrong. I've known it for a long time, but was too proud to speak.” “And I was hard, harsh, resentful, Betty,” he breathed remorsefully. “Let me stay!™ she pleaded. “Here, where you belong!" and he took her in his arms, and the little stranger that had come to bless their new life smiled in its sleep. At her home the judge's wife smiled happily, also, next day, when she heard the news. “I found them a child needing a home, a poor, little orphan, whom no one can take away from them,” she told her husband, and he kissed her and loved her more than ever. i e Fishermen's Favorites.
