V, 0, , ones milk and bread and had put them to sleep with the tender ness of a mother's love and care. The picture which one looked at in the office was a beautiful and touching one beautiful as a study and touching as an illus tration of the kindness of heart j of the nien who wear the uni forms.

That night Chief Orr 'phoned Chief Harris, of Concord, to tell Mrs. Patterson to come or "send after the chil dren.
