two or three companions. They had
all come down from New York on n

Among other who watched him
from the beach was a pi 01 xvoiuan

one girl hark whom he had been toach

"Young man," said she, 'eoiild yon

puny and it would help her."
Hut .Inn shook his head a- lie locked

"1111 nfrnid of babies," he said.
'Never held one in my life. Il might

"No, I guess mil," said the woman.
'You eau'l hurt il, and Ihe surf-bathing
would help the little dear."
.Mm he-itard, then he looked at the
small, peaked face. "(iive mo Ilie
'little dear,'" said ho. I till don't you
budge, for if tin: voting one should
saptull, I am going to bring it haek to
you."
"It won't squall," said the woman.

The voting man look the rhild can
fioiisly, ns though it xva made of
glass and might go to pieces in hit
hands: hut it did not. Neither did it
cry. So he waded oil' with it, grasp
ing it tightly. At last he resolved to
give it a gem It; immersion, h'ar from

pleased, and even wiihued on n mild

"Now you see von cnu't hurt her,

After n liille pcisiinsioii,.lim agreed

Amused himself with n w dippine;,
now lloaliu the child on his hand,
After :i lime he wearied of this sport,
and returned to the beaeli to give the

Horrified, the young fellow ran up

"U'lare'i Ihe mother of this child?"
Nobody knew. Then everyone be
gan to make merry at his expense.
"Mado you a present?'' cried one.
"A ban l-oiue lej;ney," sa d another.
"Hello, Jim," cried his companions,
who, seeing the commotion, had come,
ashore, "w hut's up?"
"The wretched woman hat van
ished." "You were recn. indeed, to lake

"I'.l dn p it very soon," said Jim,
telling it dow n on the s.v.d.
"o, you don't, either." said the
policeman on duly. "Thin beach N

"Itut I don't wnnl (hi baby," re

"t'iiu'l help it. Take it up." And
Jim was forced to obey. "You can

"Wb I could have I oine of the

Nobody knew ; no one bad seen her

"Lndics," cried lie, approaching a
group of women. "For (i oil's sake,
ladies, lake this tiling I I can't do
anything w ith il !"
Hut the ladies w ith one consent,
refused. "No, indued, (hey would
not touch il !"
Wildly the young man ran up ami
down tho bench. The strango woman
was nowhere to be seen.
"t 'oine, Jim," cried bis compan
ions. "Time vc w ere drts-ing to go
back lo town."
"Certainly, but what am I to do
with this this thing w hihi I
dress?''
I know," cried one kind friend.
"We'll leave it at the dus-ing room
after you havo dressed."
Jim eagei ly iigried lo this, but tho
liin.il in charge blocked that little
game.
"Say, sir," Mid .Mm, "I'll ,pil leave
(his little one out here while 1 go in
and dress."
"No, you won't, cither," said tho
man. "You lake it in with yott."
Jim set tho screaming child down on
tho floor whilo he mado his toilet.
Ho lore his wet hair with rage.
"Hush, you brat!" but il yelled the
louder. "Oh, my goodness! Thii is
dreadful !"
"Jim!" cried hit friends from Ilie

Il: continued lo hunt up the differ

seemed to have it special faculty of
falling, whi.e it screamed so that it
mado his ears ring mid his head ache,
"I d'elari! Ihis Ihing is enough lo

At last he was die-sed and snuii
lered out.
"(Jo hack ami L'et that child," said
the drcssiug-rooin keeper.
"I won't," said Jim. 'I'm not going
lo lug it to town."
"You shan't leave it here. I'll call
a policeman and have you arrested if
you don't lake it light up and get
away from here."
lie mcmhcriiig hi late encounter
with (hat oflieial, Jim angrily obeyed.
When they learned that he had to
lake it with him to town hi com
panions all for.-ook him and fl -d.
In its dripping state the little
creature w as most detrimental to his
good clothe ,. The angry Jim tried to
hold it at m ill's length, mid so nearly
lei it fall. And thus ho elicited a run
ning lire of comment from Ilie by
standers. "You'll kill that child fooling w ith
it that way," said one.
'I'gli! The brute!" cried another.
" The poor innocent!'' as the baby be
gan to cry alrcs'i.
"It's ad very well for Outo talk
thai way." retorted the angry Jim,
"but none of you would do any better
in my place."
'Sure. I doubt ef they would do nB
well, (ho spalpeens," cried an old Iri-h
w email. "Sure, the i ray ther i-cow 1 !
Here, I'll give you me onld shawl,"
and removing a faded nrlicle of ap
parel from her ample person, she pro
ceeded to wrap the waif in it.
"Couldn't you just take it to t jwn
wi!i you," suggested Jim. "You bine
so much more experience, in the hand
ling of this sort of article, than 1 I
have."
No, iudade! Nivcr a bit will 1
(etch it! tit away from here, you
young spalpeen !"
She shook her list nt him, mid Jim
retreated.
Xi sooner w as he on the boat than
Jim deposited his charge on a sofa in
the cabin, mid hid himself in a remote
part of the steamer. Hut ono of the
boat officials soon hunted him up.
"Ii' not my baby," cried tho bad
gored Jim.
"How not yours, when you brought
it on the boat '!"
I - it's -
'Pon't its me. (In this instant ami
get it, or I'll e j on nriested when
we reach lown."
T'e wretched lim was forced to
obey, mid resume his hated load amid
the jeers and jokes of tho passengeis
who had been his fellow bathers on
(he beach.
Hy (Iim lime the enraged baby bad
become unmanageable. It screamed
w ilh rage ami refu-iug to sit down
it still ned itself so that it slid otF his
knee. The w reli hed young man was
ready by this time to throw il ovcr
b .ai d.
Ladies," said he, turning to n
gioup of feminine near Lim. "for
(, d's sake take this i In I I and make it
hiih, for I can't."
S.r!" cried one, haiighl ily ; the
u.iui answered with a i tony state.
Turning from this stiff upper crust,
ho appealed to a motherly-looking
Irish woman.
"Faith an' be jabbers, no," she an
swered promptly. "lon't play oil
your thricks on die, young man!"
Whilo Jim had been absent oil this
begging tour some one had appropri
ated his cent, so ho now paraded dis
c msolately about, every ono whom ho
appiMiiehed shunning or jeering him.
Suddenly some, ono touched his unn
and turning ho saw a young lady in
deep mourning.
"Here, let me hold your baby for
you," said she.
"O, (hank yon, madam, liod bless
you," eiicd tho wretched Jim. ,
She made room for him on tho seat
beside her.
"Mind, tierlrnde," said a lady on
the other side of her, "he may run oir
and leave you in the lurch."
"Xo, I expect not," said (ho lady,
half smiling. Hio took the hapless
baby, mid as she set il on her lap, lo
Jiin'u astonishment it reaped crying.
"Poor little creature!" said she, wip
ing its loar-slained face with her
handkerchief. Then sho tried to
straighten out its clothes. "Why, it's
wr'nging wet !"
Jim hurriedly explained the situa
tion. ,
'How shameful! I hoard (hose
men laughing about il," motioning to
ward a group watching them.
"Yc, tho wrelcliei! 1 feel like
lighting the whole lol."
"This chilil is hungry," and opening
her In mil basket the lady took out. a
piece of soft bread and fed it to the
baby with the remainder of a bottle of
cold tea.
Thus comforted, the waif legaii to
look about, and its joy was complete
w hen its benefactress gave it u el. it-ken
bone to suck after getting Jim to
scrape it clem with hi pocket knife.
In its rap'itre il began to coo, and its
new friend replied to its remarks in
baby talks.
"You certainly know all about
babies," said the delighted Jim.
"I've lost mine, mid (he remem
brance of my darling makes my heart
go out to all other babies," she said.
(!" cried Jim. eagerly, ";hen
vOouldu't you like lo take this one?"
"No, indeed!" cried she, pushing it
oil'. "No one can ever take my An
nie's place !"
"No, to he sure, madam," said the
young man, hastily. "Of course not ;
it was hru al of me to suggest it. Hut
please help me with this ono till we
get to lown."
When the boat landed at the wharf
thebabywasfu.it asleep. Wrapping
it well in the old shawl, she laid it in
his arms. He held il gingerly mid
then took his way over Ihe gangway
to the elevated road.
After some thought, he determined
to go home hm! let bis mother ar
range w ith some charitable in-litiito
for iis icception the next day.
The horror of hi- parents w hen tho
voung ni.iii came en them with his
strange burden lanuuage fails to de
pi. I.
'Poor boy," cried his mother as he
hill l icd.y told hii tide.
"Well, who would havo thought
you such n fool!" sui 1 his father.
"Hou't speak of it!" said Jim, "but
this is a lesson to me. I'll never
touch another b iby as long ns 1 live."
"Conic, come,'' cried his mother,
make no rash promises."
She row took Ihe waif in hand and
fixed it oil comfortably foi (he night.
The next day a rich mid childless
friend, calling and hearing the story,
determined to adopt tho baby. Sho
has done a good part by it.
This was years ago. The waif is
now a tali girl in her teens and very
pretty. Jim is still uiiuiai i ied, is
still called a young man. And ho
now takes a lively interest in the waif.
