Many people who happened to 1 e on

wns headed by a big policeman, next
toddleel a baby scaicely threo yeats
old, ltes yellow cutis lloatlng fiom under
a white cap, nnd with tired little feet,
mud-ladpn nnd wet.
Close after frisked two fox terriers,
seemingly much exercised, over the
destiny of the little one, as they altei
nately ran to Its side or suspiciously
snuffed at tho heels of the urchins who,
n usual, biought up the lear of the
lingular maich to the eltj hall.
It was without doubt, a case of lost
child, but no lost child suiely cvei
had such faithful, devoted piotoetors
as those two little creatures whose
doggish heaits were plainly In gieat
tumble over the strange surroundingc)
nnd stnngo company in which Uielr
loved chatge had fallen.
At iH)llce headquarters the baby was
the center of attraction as Patiolman

big. blue eyc looked calmly upon the
