A CHILD'S VOICE.
(Continued from Page Nine.)
The other persisted. "Will you send
. some to your sweetheart V
' The baby stopped swinging the first
old gentleman's watch and listened.
; 'I told you Littlefield began. "
'"Isn't your wife your sweetheartT"
! Littlefield looked over at the child.
' and something seemed to blur before
' him. Then the car came suddenly to
. a stop and the German woman stood
up wtth the baby. ! . '
' ' The newspaper man' glanced from
; the windows. They were at 'Forty
: : second street, t Be could hardly be-
lleve that the youngster had been In
the car .' for a mile. The time had
; flown. . .:
The two old gentlemen, as If asham
: ed of their frivolity,' shrank . back - In
their seats and disdained to take fur
ther notice of each other. :. , "
"By-by!" sang the baby over the
' nurse's shoulder. ' .
There was not a person In the car
who did not answer the sweet little
child's voice. Some' of them, only , in
: their hearts, but most of them in con
scious, stiff tones. ' , ' '
v Littlefield lifted his . .- hat ' then
once more held communion with the
head of his cane. . When; ftnalpull-
. Ing himself together, he glanced around
the car, he found It singularly empty
now that the child had left. . -.
"May I ask," he said, to thn west
erner, "how much further you are go
ing?" .-
: "Don't knowl ' I'm Jtasi riding
round!"
"Then let us leave together!" Little
field suggested, and startea -toward the
door. He could hear the stranger fol
low' g him. . ,
Once out In the street, - they . swung
down Broadway. ',
"Ain't we Just passed here?" asked
the older man. , ' '
"Tes, but you couldn't see much from
the windows."
The street was filled with people, the
air rich with spring warmth, and the
wares of the florists, overflowing the
shops, straggled rally out to the very
Curbs.
"What's the matter, young feller?"
anted the big man, suddenly, "did the
Jtl.f 'loco' you?"
"Not exactly," said Littlefleld.

"What is your business V asked Lit
tlefleld, ignoring the f rst part of the
speech.
"Well, I haven't any business here,"
said the man. ."I came on, God knows
why, and I'm going back as quick as
scat! The 'plains ain't in it for lone
liness compared wtth this place!"
"See here!" said Littlefleld, with a
rapid change of manner. "I'm going
to. tell you something not a soul In the
world knows. You'll think . it odd,
perhaps, my telling this to a stranger
whom I met ten minutes ago In a pub'
lie car. But the man couldn't have a
face like yours If his heart wasn't til
the right place, and somehow, that
kid has set me thinking!"
"Firs away!" said the westerner.
"Tou say you're lonely ! Man, you
couldn't be as lonely as I if you lived
to be a hundred. . I have a home you
might call it that. My wife lives there
too. but we're almost strangers.) We
haven't spoken in sis months, except
when we have visitors. We live our
lives apart, but under the same roof,
and I wonder If you can understand
how grastly that tsl" ;a
"It must be the devil!" said frthe
other man simply. "What happened?"
"Well, her' sister died. There was a
Uttle baby left a nice enough young
one, I suppose, "'though J have never
seen It - It's father was a pretty bad
sort and disappeared soon after the
sister died, and has never come back,
t felt sorry for the mother, but I had
never liked her. r When she died and
the father made off, my wife wanted
to take the child, but I put my foot
down. She had made ail her arrange
ments without consulting me, and t
didn't like It I lost my head that af
ternoon,' when we talked It over, and
said some wild things, I suppose. '. 7
spoke of her sister In a way aha grew
pretty angry over, and said she should
not bring the . baby Into the bouse. I
said Z didn't want her sister's" child
there, nor nor anyone else's child!"
The men walked along for a, little
way In silence, ,
"It was rough, wasn't It?" asked the
stranger. '
"Brutal," admitted Uttlefleld but
the kid In the car seemed to change
something within me. I couldn't help
thinking that if the sister's chlH was
like thta one. It would make th!n?e
sort of Jolly, or It- there was a little
one of our own, the world wouldn't be

"Come along then, and And out."
"I know. but " began LIttleeflld.

erner, "you're on the right trail stick

"I thought" littlefleld spoke almost
bashfully, thought I 'would send my
wife some flowers now, and. go after
the baby tomorrow. It will be Easter,
you. know, and we can make some at
tempts at the holiday again.", '
Without more words, . he turned into
a large flower shop, and the stranger
found himself in -the midst of glories
such as he had never .dreamed of. i

things, but I suppose you wouldn't U

Littlefleld put his hand on the huge
shoulder. ' r
"She would like it." ho said. "Tou
must know her. Will you come and
spend tomorrow with us?" .. ,1
Til see, I'll see!". "
Littlefleld stood by the table while
the salesman put . a dozen American
beauty roses Into a long box. ' Then ha
gave his wife's address.
"Why - don't 5-ou carry them,: and
give' them to her yourself?" cried the
westerner. "Don't you think that'a a
pretty fashion? That's the way I
used to do.!, .
The big man had such a, deep voice.
and put, ait his .questions In such, a
tentative manner!
"Well," yes assented ? LIttleeflld,
"only It Ian t the custom here.".; ':
"Oh, take them! What do you a(re
about custom! It isn't the custom for
a man and his wife to live as you, have
been living." V ,
It seemed absurd to Littlefleld that
he - should be taking this man's ad
vice, and yet there was.no reason why
he should not-r-except on principle. .
- "You need not " send - the roses,. he
said, turning to the salesman, "I'll ju3t
take therr along with me." .
The westerner having brought a lit
tie basket' of violets, ) the two once
more went into the street .
It was a silent walk,' for the nost
part that brought them to Llttlefleld's
dwelling. ' j Perhaps in their, hearts
they were " thinking of the simple,
childish incident that : had ' brought
them, together from such distant parts
of the land, one to tell his story of
wounded authority, the other to give
