esman of the party aald to Lleuten
?at Joyoe: "Here is a Uttle dead baby
we foand lathe qpai yard at 13<tfc
?tret and Ryder avenue. We were
playing Indians when we found her."
"Good heavens it's 'Joe' Kells baby
said' the lieutenant. Calling one of
the reaerre men he said, "Oo to Kelts
house and break it gently to him
that we've found his baby, and she
Is dead. Be careful, for the news
will about kill him." I
Keil la a policeman attached to
the station. A few hours earlier he
had been excused from duty to search1
with tome of the reeerre men, for
his four-year-old daughter.
While Lieutenant Joyce was wait
ing for Keil* to be brought to tj?e
station he picked up the baby, dead,
as he thought to piece It tenderly on
a couch In the Captain's room. To
his amazement the eyes of iho little
one opeaed As he took her in his
eras. Then, eeeing the fsmlliar
brass buttons, the child cuddled In
hie arme and went to Bleep again.
When the policeman told Kell at
