TINY TOT IS LEFT
: ON THEDOORSTEP
Social Gathering is Startled by the
Cry of Infant, Which is Taken .
to An Institute.
AND NOW IT WANTS NEW HOME
"Land O' love, the dear little . thing
was - shivering with the cold when we
took It in and the mill; In its bottle was
cold. Poor little dear!"
Bo spoke Mrs. J. . H. Fullerton. 119
North Twentleh street, relating the excit
ing event of Sunday evening with all of
woman's enthusiasm where such events
are concerned.
The event in this Instance was a bady,
an unidentified baby girl, about seven
weeka old, abandoned by Its parent to
the cold sympathies of the world without
so much as a note asking pity.
The Fullertona had company. They
heard a aound outside in the vestibule.
They thought it waa a dog and Mr. Ful
lerton went to investigate. He opened the
door. Then he called to his wife.
She came. Hhe saw. Bhe exclaimed. She
picked up the baby quickly and cuddled
it In her arms. And the guests, the fem
inine contingent of the, guests. Insisted
on holding the baby. And then the prac
tical masculine part of the company be
thought themselves of calling up the
police.
Boon came heavy steps -on -the porch
and In came the large bulka of two de
tectives, who treated the great event with
ealmness and stolidity and eventually
bore the smalt mite away te the Child
Saving- Institute, where It is now.
"It had brown eyes and dark hair and
was very pretty." aald Mrs. Fullerton.
"Oh. we were so excited we didn't know
what we were doing. And it seemed aa
If the policemen took it away almoat be
fore we had found it.
"After it had gone I Just thought we
might have kept it over night anyway. I
couldn't Bleep for thinking ot It. I'm
going out to the Institute today and see
It and find out If there waa a note pinned
on tt anywhere and whether it is a boy
or a girl."
