MISS MILNE AND I.

CHAPTER IV.
Eight montlm hnvo paused slnco the
1oro of tho last elinpter, and tlilne.H
aro much ns tlioy wore. Tho love, of
occupation and tho occupation of lovo
Imvo combined to mako tho tlmo pass
rcry happily and very swiftly. About
onco n month I havo visited Chisel
iurst and stayed over Sunday. Kdltli,
my Hdlth (of whom .moro presently),
and I havo learned to lovo onch othor
Intensely, moro so limn any quantity
of tyfio can convoy, nnd life without
lier now would ho very dreary nnd
not worth tho IIvIiik.
Of Miss Mllno I havo seen nothing.
ITcr shop wns closed tho week nftor I
last saw hor tlmro, and although vari
ous reports havo coino to mo of her
tnrrllilo goings-on, I havo myself scon
nothing of hor.
Ono Mondny evening I wns Bitting
after dinner, rendng tho evening pa
per, when Ann enmo In with n note;
a child, wns waiting In tho hall, sbn
aid, to tako mo Homowhoro. Tho nolo
was from tho wlfo of our clergyman.
T opened It nnd rend as follows:
"Dear Dr. Hlghy I am Buro that un
der tho clreumstnncoB you will forglvo
mo for troubling you. I havo this
morning been sont for to tho most
wretched house Imaginable, nnd found
there n girl In tho most utter stnto of
poverty, nnd In need of your help. If
you will como, nnd I am sure you will,
tho bearer of thin lottor will show you
tho place. Uollovo mo. very truly
yours. E. N. GARPENTBIL"
Ab hurrlodly aB I conld, I collected
In my bag tho fow things I might
need, nnd putting on my coat tho
night wiih bitterly cold I Joined my
little guldo In tho hall.
An wo hurried nlong tho pnvoment
J tried to learn something of tho enno
I was going to bco, but tho girl know
nothing of It. Blio hnd, sho told mo.
Keen hailed by tho lady whllo walking
down Arlington streot, nnd requested
to, bring mo tho letter nnd show mo
tho house.
Hoforo tho door of tho most minor
nliln of nil tho mlsornblo tenements
of that wretched qnartor my guide
stopped. "Ifn up thom stops, sir." rJie
said, nnd up them I went as rapidly
as their rickety condition would al
low. On landing nt tho vory top I found
tho Indy who had sent for mo. "I am
afraid," sho nnld, "1 have brought you
to n very terrible place, but you munt
forglvo mo; I could do nothing oh.o.
Hut como; will you follow mo?"
Hbo led mo Into a room, tho stench,
tbo mlnory nnd tho nbooluto squnllor
of which no one but those who hnvn
visited tho nluniB of London can poa
slbly Imagine. I walked to tho win
dow, npd from tho broken panes pullod
out tho ploecH of carpet, old linen
nnd nowspnperB that did duty for glnsn.
With tho llttlo light thus obtained I
law In ono rornor a mass of ntrnw.
ml over and nbout It Boiled under
clothing nnd old dresses. Thin was
ovldontly tho bod, for under tho elo
riifng I could distinctly discern the
angular outlines of a woman's form.
On tho back of the door othor drensoq
woro hung, but those wero of a very
different character; they were gaudv.
If not expensive, and carried a world
of moaning to me I recognized by
thom not only the kind of room I
was In, but nlHO tho knd of patient I
had to deal with. Mrn Cinrpontor hud
stood perfectly still during tho few
bcconils I had been taking stock of
tho place. "I think," sho Bald, "wo
ought to bo doing something." and
then added, nlgulunuitly. "thero nro
two liven Involved."
"Two?" I nskod. "Whoro'B the
other?"
Bho pointed to another hundlo ,1m
Ilm other corner of the room, and
vnlktiK over to It. I throw off a plooo
at flncklut:. nnd exposed to view an In
fant that, though hut a few hours old,
tiuir tho wrinkled skin, troubled ex
pression anil monkey-llko cast of foi
turea pocullnr to somo of tho aged
poor. Ha limbs wore nbout tho thick
ne,Bs of an ordinary walking stick, its
lingers long nnd tnlon-llkn, and as tli
cold nlr from tho broken window
Awnkoned it, It began to emit the cry
characteristic, of ItB order, ft far-away,
piping, hnlf-whlstlo kind of cry. that
contrnstB so markedly with tho hearty
shriek of n nowly horn healthy child.
With natural tenderness Mrs. Carpen
ter covered up tho poor llttlo creature,
nnd 1. walking over to tho mother,
knelt down beside hor tied nnd spoko
to hor. It wuh tho llrst tlmo I had
rnlsed my voice ubovo n whlspor, nnd
r.t tho sound of it the Inanimate pic
ture of starvation, with an ovldenco of
strength which astonished we, throw
hor head around and stared nt me.
If her body ubowed ovldenco of star
ration, her fnco did so In a thousand
fold rroater degree; her cheek boneo
nnd tho angles of hor lower jaw woro
standing out In painful prominence,
nnd bor oyos, always larger than hu
man, woro now perfectly stnrtllng in
their bIo and brilliancy. It was only
for n .momont she stared nt me. then
turning back to tho wall. Bho burled
hor face In tho clothing. ,
"Who sent for you? who told you
to como?" Bho nskod, loudly. "0.,"
and then'inoro loudly still "go at once,
nnd leavo mo!"
"Of course, you know I shall not go,
Mlsa Mllno," for U was nono othor
limn sho. "I shall not leave you until
F havo soon you havo somo food and
aro mado comfortable."
"I'll tako nothing yon offer mo."
And thon eho groaned again, "do, go,
both of you, nnd lonvo ua to dlo; that's
nil wo want, ninl why can't wo have
ur
Mrfl. Carpenter walked to tho hod
f do. and taking in hora tho thin hand
of tho patient, In the kindest tones
Implored of her not to talk like that,
but to lot uh do what wo could for
her.
, "Hut I don't want you hore; I didn't
send for you, Why enn't peoplo mind
their own business?"
1 bockoned Mrs. Carpenter to Join
mo on tho landing outside.
"What Is to bo done?" sho snld,
"Do yon know hor,, Dr. Rtgby?"
"I know hor very well." I replied;
t, fnnt. i may almost say I owo my
Ufa to hor, Sho nursed mo through u
long Illness."
"Unt what has happened to her? Is
sho mnd?"
"No, I don't think sho iB.mnd, nnd I
don't think sho Is sano. lint I will tell
you moro about her somo day. Wo
ought to ho seeing now what wo can
, no ior ncr -uini is, u nnyiuing can uv
done; but you will find It exceedingly
dfflrult; bringing her food 1b a simple
thing, but making hor tako It Is a
different ono. I warn you that girl will
do everything In tho world to stnrve
herself nnd hor Infant. It's vory un
fortunate that I should havo been sent
for; of course you know I llko to
come, hut I nm cortnln you will do
nothing with her with mo In tho
room; tho girl hns a great horror of
my seeing hor In this condition. Didn't
you sco how Bho drow nwny from
mo?"
"Yes, I noticed It nnd wondered
whnt It meant."
"If you will allow mo to suggest, I
think tho wisest courso to follow
would ho this: I will lonvo hor sho
nocdB no medical care and send you
nt onco as good n nnrso as I can got
about horc, somo food nnd wlno from
my hoiiBO. nnd n few old things In tho
way of clothing."
To this nuggcstlon Mrfl. Carpenter
assented, and on my road homo I
called upon tho only womnn I could
think of ns available. Sho wan n
widow, a Mrs. Dost, who, although
hotter than tho mnjorlty of hor class,
belonged to a very distinct nnd vory
low nnturnl order. I must pnuso hero
n momont to nny ono word nbout this
order. I had christened thom "f.'io
vultures." Thoy woro vory common
In ovory street In my district, and, I
proBtimo, In nil partB of London: not
nocossarlly widows, though wldova
predominate; not nocessnrlly drunk
ards, nlthough thoy Imvo- n great
weakness for "Old Tom."
I found Mrs nest at llborty. and
vory glnd to undortnkn the duty. I
told hor ua much as but no moro thnn
vns necessary of my relationship with
Minn Mllno. I found afterward that
what I had told her was Just enouuh
to nwnkeu her woninn'fl curiosity, and
on the bnsls of her surmises sho built
conjectures nnd theories Mint In nftor
dnyn gave me much trouble.
"I wnnt von. If you will." I snld. "to
tako tho entlro chnrge of her; pay no
regard to nny remonstrance or pro
test; get food for her, and make her
take It. Ab to the child. It'a a wroteh
o,l specimen, hut do whnt you can to
save It. I will meet you each day nt
11 nt the Ftreet door."
The llrst day that I met Mrfl. Boat
she told mo Mint Miss Mllno hnd
neither onten anything nor spokon to
her.
, "SInJ'b a rum woman," Rho Bald,
"and I thing she's trying to kill her
self: hut tho ehlld'B nil right."
Tho.aocond day I learned Mint Miss
Mllno M-nn In tho samo condition, and
on tho third day Mrs. Host did not ap
pear at all. I Just caught sight of her
nn I entered tho ntreet; sho wns peep
ing round tho corner of tho door,
watching for my coming; ho moment
she saw mo she withdrew her bend
and disappeared. I was waiting nt the
bottom of tho Btalrs, wondering what
I should do, when n woman who llvod
opposite came over to mo.
"Is It Mrs. Host you wnnieu 10 sec.
Blr?" nhe nslted.
Yesr-why? Do you know whore
Bho Is?"
"She's upstulrs. Blr; sho wont but a
moment since. Shnll I run and fetch
her?"
I thanked her, nnd. ulthough I knew
Mint her only motlvo wiib her wretched
cuiloslty, I was vory glad of her help,
for I wan very anxious to hear some
thing of MIsb Mllno. In a fow momenta
she returned, followed by Mrs. Heat.
Tho moment sho appeared I Raw why
she had not kept hor appointment,
she wiib wearing ono of MIsb MHiio'h
cliowy drosses, nnd tho color of her
cheeks Bhowcd tho consciousness of
her guilt.
"I couldn't como down hoforo, sir."
sho said, "for tho lady Is not so well;
she's raving. I think you ought to sco
hor."
I thought a moment, nnd dccldod to
oomuilt' hor to tho euro of a medical
friend of mliio. It wns utterly use
less for mo to try and do anything for
her. I had llttlo dltUculty In securing
lits help, and a promlso to report in
tho ovoning ns to hor condition. In
tho evonlnc ho came and told mo that
although Miss Mllno had no symptoms
of Illness that In othor people would
bo serious, yot ho was vory doubtful as
to what tho result In hor enso would
bo.
"You seo," ho said, "sho'B not Ilk
anybody olso; sho'll neither speak to
you nor tako food."
"Hns alio taken no food?" I nskod.
"Woll, ns n mntter of fact, sho has
now. but It was not until I hnd gone
homo nnd got tho stomnch pump nnd
actually opened hor mouth with the
object or forcing hor. Mint sue con
Bonted to nwnllow it. Whnt a strange
chnrnctor sho Is! Do you know hor
woll?"
"Yes, I know n good denl nbout hor,
nnd nm much interested in hor wel
fare, nnd nnything yon can do for hor
I shnll tako us a very groat favor to
myself."
"You may depend upon my doing
ovorthtng I cnu, nut what nbout
that nurso?"
"Oh, who's a brute; but then thoy
nil nro."
"Hut she's worso than nny of tho.ni.
Bho'8 nctunlly wearing tho woman's
dresses; sho drinks, all tho brandy,
nnd nt 11 o'clock this morning tho
baby wns neither washed nor
dressed. When 1 romonstrnted with
hor sho said, 'Oh, he's nil right; ho'
too woll, I oxpect, to pleaso his fath
er,' 'Do you know tho fnthorf I nskod.
Sho didn't reply, lint gnvo mo a vory
significant look. I'd keop my oyo or
that woman, If I woro you."
"I wish I could, but you bco I rnn't
go noar tho houso; but you must for
mo, and roport anything you notice."
I did not soo my mod leal friend, for
about four. days, and thon ho enmo in
to tell mo Mint tho whole aspoct of tho
case hnd altered; lie found Miss Mllno
each morning sitting up In bed. taking

' ting her Into conversation."
"And," ho added, "hor conversation
Interests mo immensely."
"In what way?"
' "I don't know; sho's such an awful
cynic. Sho hollovos In nothing, In
neither man nor woman, churches nor
ichnpcls, hell nor heaven. I should
think sho must bo protty hard-hearted
when bIio's well, from what I bco of
her sick."
"Pcrhnps," I replied; nnd thon, to
111.4 nstonishmortt, I added, "nnd yo.l,
do you know that girl nursed mo
through my attnek of typhoid with a
devotion jnlmost mntornnl?"
"nenllyj Well, sho's a puzzle then."
CHAPTER V.
"I almost regret I ever saw her; 'tli
strange, too, that ono can regret do
ing good."
Tho Bpcnkor was Mrs. Cnrpcntor.
Sho hnd called upon mo with refer
onco to Miss Mltnc.
"I don't spo why you should regret
It."
"Not when ono Is tho moans of re
storing n girl only that sho may go
back to hor career of vlco?"
"Aro you siiro sho has?"
"Yes, qulto suro; and not only that,
but sho hns enticed tho nurso to Join
her; thoy nro out ovory night, nnd all
night, and tho poor, wretched baby Is
icfi to tho en re of heartless neighbors
at so much tho hour."
"Hnvo you scon hor?"
"Yes; yestordny nftornoon I snw
hor, nnd tried to reason with hor, but
Bho Is far too clover for mo."
"WnB alio delimit, or simply caro
loss aB tc her futuro?"
. "Woll, neither; sho Blmply contend
ed that Bho was making tho most of
hor llfo, getting tho most plcasuro ob
talnablo. Hut I called about tho baby;
Just now It Is being left each night In
tho caro of tho woman opposlto, her
self a wroteh, and It appears tho child
docs not sloop, nnd tho woman, to
mako It Bleep, gives It gin. Now, the
probability Is Mint tho child Is III, nnd
I wnnt you tonight, when thoy'ro
gono, to run In and sco It If you will."
"I shall ho vory glad, nnd I'll try
nnd ouhstltuto something for tho gin
Mint will bo Iosb harmful."
Ilnlf-past oloven found mo standing
by tho Bldo of this woman, and over
the wretched and woo-bogono Bpecl-
men of humanity I had como to see.
"Hut It'll dlo If you contlnuo to
give It gin," I wnn Baying.
"And whnt mnttor? Blio doesn't
wnnt It to live, nor ho either," bIio
added, Blgnlucnntly.
It was no use talking to tho woman;
thero was no boiibo of mc-rnllty that I
could nwnken. nnd bo I left hor with
the promlso that I would Bond her
something to tako tho plnco of tho
gin, and I went homo to put up some
thing from my own surgery.
It Ib ono of tho unwritten lnwn of
the profession Mint no narcotic drug.i
shall ho given to children; but in
cnseB llko Mint of tho Infnnt of whom
I hnvo Just been writing, this law hns
constantly to bo broken; but for thom
tho cruelty of mothers and foster
mothers to sleepless Infants would
know no bounds. And, thorofore, I
unhesitatingly sought In tho chloro
dyno bottlo n subfltltuto for tho wp
ninn'B gin, nnd, having wrltton Mio
necessary instructions, I sont it to tho
houso mid wont to bed.
At four In tho morning my boll
rang, nnd In reply to my question
down tho speaking tube, Micro camo
tho hoarso. unsteady, splrlt-ladcn
volco of a hnir-drunken womnn, re
questing mo to como Instantly to Miss
Milno's lodgings. I dicsscd hurriedly
nnd mndo for tho houso, a moscngor
having gono on before. When I
roachod tho room, n Bight novor to uo
forgotten presented Itself.
On tho 'hundlo of strny Mint ropro
sonted Miss Milno's bed lay the dead
body of the Infant; It had been "laid
out" In tho usiinl way, but was still
clothed In tho dirty rngs In which I
had hist seen It. At tho bedside nnd
leaning over It stood Miss Mllno Rho
hnd on nil her war paint, her gaudy
dross, ninny ribbons and much Jowol
ry, hut from hor fnco there was a
marked absence of that levity that ono
r.sunlly associates with such a cos
tume. She wns looking unutterably
sad, and unless I nm vory much mis
taken was reviewing hor llfo, cspoclnl
ly hor life of Into, and tlndlng It want
ing. Tho doath of the child had ovl
dontly nwakened hor older nnd bettor
holf if pcrmnnontly or only tompo
rnrlly, romnlned to bo Been.
