Philemon , ho smiled for her , though ho never hnd for me. I saw It with a greedy longing that almost nmdo mo cry out. Then il turned to her , nnd wo tnlkcd. Of what ? I cannot remember now.

U flcemcxl an If the latter thought would drive .her'wild. "Ho bA eo wished for a child , " I ho moaned. "Wo have been married ten years and thh baby seemed to have been sent from heaven. Jio will turao me , he will halo me , ho will never bo able after this tobear mo in hU sight. " This was nr-t true nf Mr. Sutherland , but It was tuc- 1css to nrguowith her. Instead of attemptIng - Ing It I took another way to atop tier rav ings , lifting the child out of her hands , I first listened at Its heart and then finding It wan rcallr dmd I have seen too many llfctnbs children not to know , I began slowly to undress It. "What are you doing ? " she cried. "Mro. Webb ! Mrs. Webb ! What nro you doing ! " For reply I pointed to the bed whcro two lltllo arms could be seen feebly flutlcrlngs. "You aboil have my child , " I whispered. "I ihavo carried lee many bafolcn to the tomb lo dare risk bringing up nn- othcr. " And catching her poor wandering spirit with ray eye , I held her whllo I told her iny story , Philemon , I saved that womnn. Hcforo I had finished speaking I f > aw the reason return to her eye and the dawnIng - Ing ot a pitiful hope In her passion-drawn face. She looked at. the child In my arms , and then she looked at the one In the boil , , and the long-drawn sigh with which she finally bent down and wept over our darling told mo that my cause won. The rest waa easy. When the clothes of Iho two chil dren had 'been ' cxchanced she took our baby In her arms and prepared to leavg. Then I stopped her. "Swear , " I cried , holding her by the arm and lifting my other hand to heaven , "swear you will bo a mother to this child ! Swear you will love It as your own and rear It In the path of truth and rlchtcoUEiaess ! " The con vulsive class with .which she drew Iho baby to her breast told more plainly than her shuddering "I awearl" that her heart had already opened to It. I dropped her arm and covered my face with any hands. I could not BOO my darling go ; It was worse than death. " 0 , God , save him , " I groaned. "Rod make him on honor " I3ut here she caught mo l > y the arm ; her clutch was frenzied , my teeth were chattering. "Swear In your turn , " she gasped , "swear that If I do a mother's duty by this boy that you will keep my secret and never , never ro- vcal to my husbnlnd , to the 'boy ' or to the world that you have any claims upon him. " It was llko tearing the heart from my breast with my own hand.but I swore , Phile mon , nnd she In her turn drew back. Hut suddenly she ifaced mo again , terror and doubt In all her looks. "Your husband ! " she whispered. "Can you keep ouch n secret from him ? You will breathe It In your dreams. " "I shall toll him , " I answered. "Tell him ! " The hair seemed to rlso on her head and she shook so thnt I foarcd she would drop the babe. "Be careful ! " I cried. "See , you .frighten the babe. My husbatad has but ono heart with mo. What I do ho will subscribe to. Do not fear Philemon. So I promised In your namo. Gradually eho grow calmer. When I saw she iwas Bloody again , I motioned her to go , oven my moro than mortal strength was 'falling nnd the baby Philemon , I have never klsse l It and I did not kiss It thon. I hoard her feet draw slowly 'towards ' the door , I heard her hand fall on the knob , heard It turn- uttered one cry and then. They found mo an hour nfter lying along the floor clasping tbo dead Infant In my arms. I wns In a swoon and they nil think I fell with the icblld , as perhaps I did , nnd thnt its little life went out during my Insensibility. Of Its Ilttlo fealurcs , llko and yet unlike our Iray's , no ono seems to tnko heed. The nur o who cared for It la gone , nnd who tdso woufd know that Httlo face ibut mo. They arc very good to mo nnd are full of self-reproaches for leaving mo BO long In my part of the building alone. Hut though they watch mo now , I have contrived to wrlto this letter , which you -will get with the ono tolling of the baby's death and my own dangerous condition. Under It these words : "Though bidden to destroy this , I have never dared to do so. Some day It may bo of Inestimable value to us or to our boy. PHILEMON WEHD.
