Little Miracle
; By Anna Stetic Richardion
Copyright, 1905, br Hay McKeon
It wa pretty sreuerally understood
that the Billy Daltong were drifting
apart There wag no particular reason
for this State of affairs, save the lack
of something better to do.
Ton see, they bad Just enough money
o that Billy did not have to work nor
Janet to worry about making both ends
meet. They had danced their way
through several seasons Into a lazy,
good humored and comrade-like engage
ment, thence Into matrimony. After
that Billy bad continued to lead co
. tlllons and Janet to dance them, but
generally with other partners.
Matters between them had reached
the point where the rumor laden soci
ety papers had suggested covertly that
when Billy went to England and Scot
land, where he had nothing In partic
ular t do, Janet would probably take
np her home In Nevada or South Da
kota, there to remain until Norman
Stanley returned from Africa, where
he was fighting ennui by bunting big
game. It was even whispered that
Billy Dalton had insinuated to Stanley
that It was rather better taste to stalk
big game than another man's wife, es
pecially when the other man was per
fectly willing to make It clear sailing
for his wife if It would make her any
happier.;
Of Course, this sounds a bit strong on
paper, particularly to the old fashioned
folk who 'still believe that marriage Is
a contract for life and not a mere epi
sode. In the set to which the Billy Dat
tons belonged the situation was ac
cepted as a matter of course, and when
Janet asked a lot of people down to
their Long Island place for the auto
mobile races and the week end no one
thought of refusing Just because the
Daltona might separate within a fort
night after the gathering.
Such was the situation when the
Dalton car broke down on the Jericho
turnpike, and Its occupants-Janet,
Mrs. uOreen wait, Joe Jeffreys and
"Marsh"-- Hun toon decided to cut
through the woods to the Dalton place
and leave the car for a farmer to guard
until the mechanic who handled the
Dalton garage could be dispatched to
the scene of the accident
Perhaps It "was not entirely Impa
tience which led them to take the
short cut through the woods, but the
call of a hundred autumn voices in
rustling leaves, rich, warm colorings
and the chatter of squirrels laying up
winter stores. And thus It was that
they suddenly stopped In their tracks
and listened to a sound that was not
of the woods, but of the nursery tha
plaintive wall of a child. Janet It was
who found It a bit of white faced,
staring eyed humanity rolled up snug
ly In a great shawl of Iceland wool.'
While she held the baby In her arms
and tried to silence Its walls with un
certain and awkward little pettlngs the
quartet held a conference. The child
was too young to have walked there.
Mrs. Greenwalt said It was not a day
over two months old. It was too far
from the road to be heard by passing
travelers. - Ah there was the answer,
a wWp'of paper tied to the end of the
shawl:-,--. --',
"Please take cat of little Elsie. It
was not her fault that she came Into
the world, and I can do no more."
- Tve always said that the govern
ment ought to regulate the question of
marriage amopg the poor," remarked
Mrs. Greenwalt severely. "Here Is s
case la point"
"Ton -are Jumping at eencluslons,"
said Hnntoon dryly. "Let's take It to
the town marshal"
"And what thenr asked Janet with
out lifting her gase from the child's
face. The baby had clutched her fin
ger with Its tiny fist and settled down
as If It had found anchorage.
"Oh, there are asylums and homes
for youngsters like this. Tou'd better
hurry along home with It before It be
gins to howl. One of your men can
take It to town before dark. Shall l
carry the Uttle beggar for yonr
-Oh, no. She's not a bit heavy, and
she la quiet now. She might cry K we
changed her position." , -
They trudged on through rustling
leaves and soft Indian summer base,
three of the party chatting gaytys two,
the young wife and the baby, looking
into each otter's eyes as If ajf
for a new key to tha pjroblem of Df tu

bad enough to be facing a divorce resi
dence in the far west without acquir
ing an unnecessary Incumbrance at
the crucial moment?
Within the Dalton bungalow on Long
Island stranger things were happen
ing. No clew to the baby's parents
bad been found. When Billy Dalton
dropped down occasionally, as he had
been doing for a year past to keep np
appearances, his first question was,
"Anything newr and this always
meant "anything new about the baby's
history." And little Elsie would look
np at him with reproachful blue eyes
as If asking, "Why do you care?? And
the worst of it was that Billy Dalton
began to realize that he did care. Janet
had changed, and, with an odd sort
of Jealousy, he realized that it was lit j
tie Elsie and not he who had, brought
about the marvelous and altogether de-!
slrabfc change. She was no longer
bored. How could she be with Elsie
cutting a new tooth every few days
and such wonderful hampers of clothes
to be bought, fine handkerchief linen,
narrow val and convent . embroidery?
A more fastidious customer had never
entered the shops which specialize on
layettes, and with her own hands Janet
made covers for down pillows, silk
tufted afghans and other foolish things,
while the tongue of gossip wagged
gayly over the whole absurd episode.
One frosty December afternoon Dal
ton ran down to the bungalow and
found Janet standing at the window.1
The low spreading evergreens on the
west side of the house were powdered
lightly with snow, and Janet turned to
him with kindling eyes.
"Billy, I shall have a Christmas tree
for Elsie. She Is so bright for her age.
I do believe she will notice it" -
"Quite likely," responded Billy, with
assumed carelessness, as she laid aside
his storm coat "but In making your
plans you seem to have overlooked one
Important fact As yet Elsie is not
really yours. The law"
Janet turned on blm sharply.
"She Is mine by right of everything.
I fonnd her, and I love her."
"Yes, but you must formally adopt
her. I thought perhaps you'd better
see to thut before I leave. I've changed
my plans a bit I'm going to meet
mother and Grace In Rome for Christ
mas. The mater has not been feeling
very fit I am not fond of England In
winter, and"
Janet crossed to his side, and her
hand rested lightly on his arm.
'"Don't you think you'd enjoy much
more seeing Elsie have her first tree?
And and I think I need you more
than your mother does."
Something rose In Dalton's throat
and threatened to choke him. It was a
sensation be had never felt before, not
even during the good natured, lasy run
of his wooing. Janet wanted blm I He
thought he had not cared. Now be
knew that he had cared all along. But
It was characteristic he did not express
his fierce Joy in words. He held Janet
very close and whispered:
"Well, I rather did hope you'd give
the little beggar the name of Dalton.
If s a pretty good name after all, eh?"
e a a . a . a. '
Norman Stanley beard the news when
be landed In London. He sent a lion's
kin captured by hi. own hand for lit
tie Elsie to roll upon. Then he went
to the Nile country for the winter.

Radical changes In clothing are sel
dom safe, at least so the old time
grandmothers hejd. The putting off of
winter underwear wa likely to be a
gradual and prolonged process. That
this belief In -deliberate adjustment
was widespread and Inclusive Is shown
In W. P. Frith', story of his life. He
was engaged In painting a portrait of
Mrs. Blrt the wife of a prominent
business man, who used to bring her
little dog to share her sittings.
Mr. Blrt was a great lover of dogs,
but he entertained a strong aversion to
dog collars, so I was surprised one day
when Mrs. Blrt brought bar favorite
dog. Ducky, to see s band around the
little snlmars neck.
"I thought yoa objected to dog col
lars, Mrs. Blrt" I said. "I see Ducky
sports one today." - '
. "Oh, no, that's not a dog collar." re
turned the lady. "It's only s piece of
flannel. The poor dear has had a
dreadful cold and a sore throat She
has worn flannel night and day."
"Surety that Is too narrow to do say
good. The strip la no wider than a
collar." -
"Oh, It was wider, of course. We
have gradually lessened It She Is
leaving It off by degrees."

Macadam Road Maintenance.
Neglect to properly maintain a mac
adam road after It has been built Is
one of the worst enemies of road re
form of which we have knowledge,
says Good Bonds Magazine. Many
cases are on record of where a stone
road has goue to piece, within a very
short time after its completion owing
to negligence In giving the matter of
repair due attention: Experience shows
that a road once properly built can be
maintained Indefinitely by making
prompt repair as soon as a weak spot
Is discovered. Tbe practice In Euro
pean countries could well be followed
In this country. A road requires care
and attention for Its upkeep tbe same
as a railroad track. The original cost
of a macadam road Is too great to al
low Jt to go to pieces within a year or
so and then practically rebuild It. Most
failures are due to tbe fact that no ade
quate provlslonffor repairs has been
made by the county or state. Since
roads cannot take care of themselves,
they must be looked after constantly If
rebuilding Is, to be avoided. ,. ;
Praaare For Fall ana Wlntaa.
As the se.ino:i npproaches for heavy
rainfalls and Uic consequent muddy
roads It Is well to call the attention of
road supervisors to the necessity for
seeing to It that ditches and culverts
are open to allow the free passage of
water, says Good Roads Magastne.
Water Is the deadly enemy to a road
and should therefore be kept ss far
away as possible. r In the construction
of a' new road proper crowning and
draining are the two essential things to
be kept constantly In mind. Keeping
tbe surface smooth by tbe use of the
road scraper or drag Is all Important If
good, passable roads are desired. In
the northern sections of tbe country,
where deep snow, are found in tbe
winter months, preparations should be
made early for rolling down tbe snow
or otherwise keeping the roads open
for traffic. : - ::- t

gotiations for several. One that ap
peals to me strongly Is a play called

It Is not the kind of a house we
build, but the way ws build It A
bouse 10 by 12 wlU give us 120 square
feet of floor space. Do not pnt twenty
five light Brabmas In that bouse and
expect good results, for If you do you
will be disappointed. . However, yoa
could put twenty Rocks or Wysndottes
In that pen or twenty-five Legnoros or
any of the smaller varieties. ,
If yon have a flock of birds numbering
over 100, divide tbem into lots of not
mors than twenty-five, then you can
watch them better, look after tbem and
pick out the drones.
In building this fall try to arrange
the .Ise of yonr bouses so ss not to
waste much lumbar. A good bouse is
ene seven snd one-hslf feet high la
front snd four and one-half In the rear.
This will take a twelve foot board, and
aU that I. lost to tbe sawdust Tbo
greater economy we use In tbe business
the larger the profits arm.
Provide at least six square feet of
room In each pen per bird and at least
100 square feet per bird In the yards.
Build your bouses damp proof, but
have plenty of sunlight snd provide for
tbe circulation of air. Avoid direct
drafts on ths birds. 1
If tbe ground upon which row boose
la bnllt Is low, provide board floors,
although earth floors sre better If tbey
can be bad dry. N. A. Kmc u Amort
