After thlfl n gap of ywir . One , two ,

, not till nftcr a -rtaln event h.vl occurred ,
I bet made known by thin lout letter to
Philemon :
Duirmt Husband Our bnbo IB boni. our

O , why lld I Imvo you nnd c/iino to this
i
i until Hontonhoro 1 have no friends but
I MTB. Siithnrlund ? Did I think I could break
the poll of fate or Providence by giving
birth to my lam darling among otrangcrs ? -
I iihnll have to do w/methlng moro than |
that , If 1 would nave this child to our old
IIRC. It to tKirno In upon tno llko fate that
never will a. child pronpor at my breast 01

NYlthor I nor you can hope to BCO recfignl-

Lhnll wo do , then , with thl little son ? To
iwhoKo guardlmmhlp can wo entrust It ? to
you know n man good enough or n woman
milllclently tender ? I do not , but If Oed
wills thai our little Krcderlek nhould live ,
ho will nilBo up Mrnio ono by Uio pnng of

Meanwhile I do not darts'to klw the child
lout I should Wight It. Ho In BO sturdy.
Phlltminn , no different from all the other
five.

him Jimt been In with her flvc-wcokB1 old
Infant. HlB father 1 oway too , and Jins
not yet Keen hlB boy ; nnd this IB their first
after ten yearn of marriage.
The next Ictlor opens with a cry :
Philemon ! Cnmo to nio , Philemon ! I
have done what I threatened ; I have made
the sncrflco- . Our child Is no longer oura
find now perhaps ho may live. Hut , O my
breaking licnrl , my empty arms. Help mete
to bear my desolation , for It Is for life. Wo
will never have another child. iAnd whcro
Is It ? Ah , that IH the wonder of It. Near
ynu Philemon , yet not too near. Mrs.
Sutherland has It and you inay have seen
ItH Httlo ifnco through the cor window It
you -woro In the station last night when
the oxprcsB passed through lo Suthcrland-
lown. Ah ! but nho has her burden lo hear ,
too. lAn awful , secret burden llko my
own , only she will have the child for I'hllo-
mon , she has taken It In lieu ot her own
which died last night In my night. And Mr.
Sutherland does not know what nho has
< lnno anil never will , If yoiii keep the secret
nH I nhnll , for the nako of the life our
little Innocent bns thus won.
What do I mean nnd how wns It nil ?
Philemon It wns God's work , all but the de-
cppllon , nnd thnt la for the good of nil , nnd
to snvo four broken hcarto. Listen : Yos-
lerdny , only yeslerdny It scams a month
ago iMrs. Sutherland came again to see
ino with her b.ihy In her arms. ' The baby
unn looking well , and rhc wns Ibo happiest
of woman , for the ono wish of her henrt
hnd bocn fulfilled and ho wns soon going
to have llio 'bllm ' of showing the child to
bis father. My own babe wns on the bed
nslpop , nnd I , who am feeling wonderfully
fltrnnK , was Billing' up In n lltllo chnlr ns
far awny from him no possible , not out of
hatred or Indifference , 0 , no , but because
ho seemed to rest bettor when loft entirely
by himself and not under the hungry look
of my oye-a. iMrt . Sutherland went over to
look at It. " 0 , ho Is fair llko my baby , "
Hho said , "mid almost ns sturdy , though
mine Is a month older. " And she stooped
down mid klusod him. 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.

htard her tale. The child had bc n poU-

mistaken a cap of medicine for a cup of
water and had given the child a few drop *

hotel , she had not known at the time what
she had done , but now she remembered that
the fatal cup was Just llko the other and
thnt the two stood very near together. 0.
her Innorcnt child , nnd O , her husband ! 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. "
