at one that the rays of the, dimly .bUrning e

It opened big, violet-blue eyes and
aw of stared blinkingly at the 'light, and its
dimpled hands clutched at a fold of
the sister's black gown. To its dress
was pinned a paper on which was
written a single line:
"Amabel, a gentleman's child."
" And thel sister 'read 'andf sighed
softly for the penciled words told a
story with which she was only too
familiar.
"Poor child," she said gently, "Poor
child," and her thoughts were of the
mother rather than of the babe she
held in her arms.
But she blamed no one, this good
sister, for she knew that to every
story there are many' sides and un
heard she would - condemn neither
Sman nor Wironan. -
In the gray light of the early morn

lently a girl who, muttering incoher
ently and wring!ng her hands, walked
rapidly toward the bridge and the
darkly flowing river. She paused for
a moment above where the current '
i ran swiftest and the policeman laid
his hand on her arm.
"None o' that, my girl," he said
gruffly, "rore o' that!"
And at the sound of his voice the er
poor, distraught creature burst into ten
wild sobbing, and turning, clutched tha

"I don't want to," she cried, the love mel
of life rising strong within her and by
fighting against the black despair den
that possessed her soul. "I don't o 0th
want to; but there's nothing else for i app
me to do; in all the wide world littl
there's no place for me." thai
The burly policeman patted her thei
shoulder with rough kindliness. "We'll she
see," he said, "we'll see. Come with men
me, my girl." And half leading, half heal
carrying her he made his way through s
the silent streets and stopped before a self,
square, brick building. But the girl' findi
drew bhack protesting. At
"Not here," she cried, "any where was

"And what if it is," O'Donnell said ;sigh
not heeding her protest, "the good thea
