THEIR NEW DAUGHTER By EDNA G. BATCHELOR. "Bless my soul! Bless my soul!" scolded the peppery little old doctor as he stormed up and down the disordered breakfast room. His white locks grew more and more belligerently erect as he excitedly ran his Angers through his usually orderly hair; his cheeks were flushed by his wrath and his piercing blue-gray eyes flew storm signals of anger. "Never heard the beat of it in my life! -never! the young cub!" growled.

"Here I've worked and slav. ed, and slaved and worked to give him 8 chance and a good time, and this is my thanks. Not even a by-yourleave! Bless me, it's--it's madden ing!" and the old doctor blew his nose with a loud and valiant sound, which yet somehow or other ended with a curious pathetic little squeak that suggested a very great anger merged into a very decided hurt. "Of course, Maria, you quite agree with him, I know," he trumpeted harshly in a vain endeavor to subdue the tremor in his voice, "but I must say I had a better opinion of your judement. than to call that mannish Elliott creature with her cigarette puf-1 fings, 'a sweet little and," here the gruff voice took on an even harsher tone, "that.

Eric should dare to say he was bringing you a new daughter to help fill Nelsie's place--our little white, golden haired Nelsie!" "But, my dear, I am sure you are mistaken. Indeed, I know you are judging her wrongly-" "Wrong nothing." snapped the doctor testily. "I hope I have enough solid horse sense to put two and two together when I see them. I've never seen the creature myself and I hope to goodness I never do, but. Duncar was telling me only yesterday that she can bet and tipple and smoke to equal any of those young fools who hang around her.

Ugly tempered, too, says she leads her cousin who lives with them a dog's life." "Now. father, I just knew you were jumping at conclusions," spoke up the gentle little Dresden lady in such a spirited and reproachful voice that the doctor's mouth opened in sheer amaze. ment. "Oh, of course I know nothing. ab solutely nothing; but this I do know even if I am in my dotage, that that mannish creature with her loud voice and her sports isn't quite the ideal daughter of my dreams." The old man turned abruptly and left the room.

Late that afternoon he made his way slowly and wearily towards the sun baked, tenement-choked district called in town parlance "the poor's acre," and for almost the first time in his sixty hale years he felt weariness of life and its utter and abject misery as it is vouchsafed to some. For years this peppery little doctor, whose bark was so much worse than his bite, had worked among these poor of a great city. For a time he had sought help in his self-assumed task from his little Dres den lady wife, but she had grieved SC in her gentle way over their, to her sordid and awful sufferings, that he had comforted her as he might have done a child, and had left her in peace at home. From that day he had never men tioned his poor in her presence, and as it to make up for her deficiencies, he had thrown himself into his work with redoubled energy. But somehow of late years he had felt more and more keenly the need of a woman's love and guidance among them, and many a time a half unconscious sighing wish had crept through his troubled mind.

"If only Nelsie had lived to be a comrade and a help." With stooped shoulders and lagging steps he mounted the dark stairs of the first tenement house, and a shrink ing dread of his visit and of what he must see filled him. He could picture the scene quite vividly, he assured himself, and he sighed impatiently al his own impotence. "The baby will be crying. Tommy and Sue will be a little bit dirtier thar usual, and a good deal crosser, while Timmy, poor wee lad. will be a tiny bit quieter and just as thoughtful as ever It only their mother could have some one to take care of her, figuratively and literally, she'd stand a chance ol getting better, and if she doesn't--may God help them all! If only Nelsie lived," sighed Nelsie's father as he re luctantly opened the door, and ther suddenly bis sharp gray eyes Almed for the sun's rays showed him a Nel sie-like golden head bent over a sleeping baby by the uncurtained window while around and about peace and or der reigned.

"Well, bless my soul!" quoth the doctor in a husky whisper, and be laic his hand very tenderly upon little crippled Timmy's head, whose usually pale face was crimson with the sup pressed excitement of his present won derful happiness. "It's Miss Delight doc." he whispered shrilly. "and she's goin' to take keer on 118 till mammy's better, cos she said so, n' she brung us a chicken pie for dinner." The doctor tiptoed across the creak ing even floor, and all the tiredness and the flery petulance died out under the warmth of his kind, grave smile "Miss Delight-?" he queried. "Elliott." emiled the gir! with the Nelsie-like golden hair. "You will no: be cross because I wanted to help it Nelsie's place, as Eric has told she begged.

"Eric!" said the doctor slowly. "El liott, are you Eric's--but, but she smokes," stammered the doctor in con fusion, "and she-" "Adriane Elliott is my cousin," an swered the girl, quietly. Then the old doctor laughed alone in shamefaced but utter happiness. Miss Grace Decker spent the day to guaranteed. of Want condition.

CO. GELATINE CHARLES B.KNOX 400 KNOX AVE. Johnstown: N.Y SETS NEW RECORD FOR ACCESSIONS: FIRST METHODIST CHURCH REVIVAL IS PROVING VERY EFFECTIVE. GREATEST YEAR REPORTED Absence of "Fuss and Feathers" and "Confusing Noises" Leads Some to Believe That Nothing is Happening. At the First Methodist Church the order of the day--or rather of the evenings- -seems to be accessions to the membership of the church every night.

When the announcement was made last night as to the number that had united with the church since the first of the conference year, it came as a genuine surprise to many. The fact is that the number ceived on the list for church member. ship whose names will finally be recorded exceeds that of any former year in the history of the church. covering the same period of time. So far as the records are in condition to furnish the facts in the case.

On every side this revelation of the fact that while the bulk of the constituency were idling the work was was going quietly an seems to be putting new life into the movement. Some times people are "from in religious matters as well 35 in other affairs- -and they have to be "shown." The absence of "fuss and feathers," or of a noise," to be more scriptural, has misled many into thinking that nothing was happening. But the facts show otherwise. Nearly fifty adults are ready to line up for the church and be received into full membership now at any time. This does not count the younger constituency that is ready to be received.

and which sometimes is more important that that which is older, so far as future results are concerned. It is confidently expected now that the rank and file of the church will come out and push the meetings forward to an even greater victory. NOTICE K. OF P. NO.

Love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith. I call it rather a ing of the infinite in the finite-of the Ideal made "LITTLE STORIE ABOUT THE TOWN. A certain member of the young mother's fraternity of this city has a baby which she is raising in a scientific manner.

A thermometer is always placed in baby's bath water; the water which the baby drinks is' always boiled and allowed to reach a certain degree of coolness before it is given to the infant. The bottles and playthings are carefully sterilized every day A few days ago a visitor came and greatly shocked the young mother by kissing the baby on the check. The astounded matron explained that kissing was something that even the child's father and mother did not do. The visitor was quite chagrined. A few minutes later the baby wandered, to the kitchen, but was still in sight of the visitor.

The husband is a dog fancier and several bird dog puppies were kept in the kitchen this day on account of the cold. The puppies showed their affections for the baby by all licking his little face at one time. The baby fairly went wild with delight. "Middie" waists look mighty cute on the high school girls, but when a boy student produced the same effect with his shirt a few days ago, he threatened to break up the school. One of the teachers sent a young "Abe Lincoln" to the black board to put 011 some work.

The young man promptly took his position after gangly walk. A titter went over the class and the teacher noticed that the boy's shirt tails had broken loose from their moorings and had come out all around, producing the effect of the popular "Middle" waist and a whole lot of amusement in the class. The boy was excused while! he adjusted his harness. K. OF P.
