He had not made it apparent at least to me, as he had done bhe- fore, that he had me with him on sufferance He had introduced' me in 4 way that told me, as well as it told those strangers, that he thought me worth while. I was so happy I felt like dancing and singing; instead I demurely pre- pared for bed, chatting with Geerge oft the proposéd dinner. 1 could see he was flattered by the invitation, although he had sald very little. I had no idea of the kind of a man Mr. Bab- cock was--no idea that he was one of the big men of the Windy City. They were so simple and plain, so nice to me, that I felt quite at ease at the thought of dining with them. Jefore George left me in the morn- ing le cautioned me to lie down for a few minutes in the afternoon, that I might be fresh for the dinner, "If you need anything to wear, get it this morning," he said, laying a roll of bills on the dresser. "I don't need a thing, him. "Wall, tuck You'll find use leave." 80 I assured the for it money away before we Helen 1s Surprised. When we arrived at Mrs. Babecock's I was surprised George had said nothing to prepare me for the ele- gance of their home, the perfection of their service.

But I had to be brave for my dear husband's sake, and he for mine, You see, my dear, that even if we lost her, there was still much for us to live for." "They love each other, and that is what made them brave," I thought, as I followed my hostess downstairs. She had insisted upon going up with me, instead of turning me over to a maid. The dinner was perfect and per- fectly served, although there were not many courses. The silver and china were exquisite, and the napery the finest 1 ever had seen. George was in his element. He loved luxury, luxurious surroundings. That is, if there was no trace of the common about them. Here, all was so refined, in such perfect taste, that there was a feeling of harmony about it all which one immediately felt and ap- preclated. The business was very lightly touched upon during dinner. But, as we finished, Mr. Babcock said: "If the ladies do not object, we will go into the library and have a little talk.

They rung the telephone for half an hour trying to wake Baby up, but it slept on, 80 a boy went through the tran- som and pulled back the bolt. I wonder what the baby was trying to do when it bolted the door. Prob- ably trying to get out, but, of course Mother had locked the door. I won- der what she thought--poor little three years old, all alone in that suite with the door locked. I won- der if. she called for mother, or if shg knew better than to call and was merely intending to descend and buy an ice-cream cone.

Poor little Hotel Baby---what Kind of a woman can she grow up to be? She is as pale as a ghost and as wise as a newsboy, and she is only three. She has never made a mud pie in her life, and she knows what poker chips are. She refuses bread and milk, and orders cracked crab.
