She amothed bis hot brow and pave him cool water. Then delirium aelied blra, and for weeks he hovered between life uud death, while Amy Norton, the head nuraa. watched htm aa though he were her very own In those endleaa days and nights of physical anguish, when he could com prehend only two conditions pain and the absence of pain Amy seemed to htm a brooding Hplrlt of Deliverance Always there, when be needed her. divining the cause of bla discomfort and quick with measures of relief, tbe became in the highest souse a mother to this nirtberlca waif. So the days passed, and gradually! Teddy responded to the care of uurse and doctor and awoko to conscious ness of things about him. Ills twisted arm was almost restored to use; hla cruihed leg, though In a heavy plaster cut, wa mending rapidly; but ho complained of pain In bia chest, whore the englno wheela had broken the ribs. It hurt him to breathe, ba said. Now and then a spell of coughing shook bis little frame and left blra panting for breath. Then, recovering, he would watch Amy at her work, his eyes following her up and ''.own the room. He was disinclined to eat, and dally his face became whiter and thin ner, and his eyes bigger and blacker. It was Dr. Stone's custom to meet Amy Id the operating room several times a week for consultation. One nveninc they talked of Teddy, 'lh doctor shook his head gravely. He was a handsome, young man, with close-cut, dark beard, in tneir common purpose the rescue of this dying or phan child their hearts beat together. "Can you not stimulate him some how?" he aaled. "He Is very low. Any mti mmniicatlon a fever, even a eniit mtrht end it all. He Is too pas sive, ile docs uot care. He seems to be merely awaiting the cnu. we can nn vat rAitiilta under such condition! It Is uot now a case for medicine. There Is nothing In an toe pimruiucuyiioia that I can think of to awaaen mm. For some minutes tbey sat in silence All the mother love In Amy's heart waa stirred, l'oor little waif no par entB, no home, and Chrlatmna cloee at hand. A great light uawnea wuniu ner, Christmas the day of daya for chil dren all over tho world! She turned her deep, thoughtful eyes upon the doctor, "Let me take the case," she jy JtJUMM.licgiiijgjULMzaaiiu. anld Rently, "As yon aay," ho need aomothlug beyond drugs." Ho they a pa rated, and tho doctor went to hla room to aludy. Hut bla mind waa not content with book a. It dwelt upon Amy, aa aho appeared but a abort time before. It occurred to him that ho hnd thought of her many time In the pant few weeka. Hut then It waa purely proffUMlonal their common In tercut Jn the medical anpect of their work. Hho waa a very competent nun and very attractive. Her eyes and her mouth and that little wisp of hair that always curled over her oar atood before him. Hut pa haw. It meant noth ing. Thua ho tried to trick hla con deuce, deceiving hlmaolf and aaylng It waa not no, when, -In noma deeper aub-cotiaclouancaa he knew that It waa ao -and really could not be otherwlite, and that he waa hopelessly la the toll. 1 nirt la love a alchemy. In tho dimly lighted ward Amy waa at Teddy' nodal da. Tho boy waa wake ful and re.tlrns. Ho wanted company. Though her duly waa over aho alayed with him, talking In a whisper. Hit by bit aho drew from him the atory of hla brief, hard life. Ho had ao memory of father or mother. He bad lived with an aunt, who beat him; ao ho ran away and finally- graduated frotn newsboy to telegraph meaenger. Ho was a doubter. Kvcn Santa Claua, that patron aalnt of tho children, waa to him a myth "only for rich, folk' klrfe." be aald. Hut when aho told htm how Santa Claua would come to all children, rich and poor, If ho only knew where they lived, his ye grew big with Interest "Teddy." aho aald. "If Santa Claua will come here on Cbrlstmaa day and bring you lota of present and a Chrl.Uiuaa tree will you try to get well?" Teddy thought hard. "Guess that might be worth gettln' well for." he aald with a sigh. "Hut ho won't como. I hung up my atockln' onct. an' they waau't tiotbln' In It." It must have been a bitter disappointment, for tho light faded from hi eye and tbo old 1 1 d eB . , .kj. - t i 1 w look of di spalr crept Into his faco. "in ho will. Toddy. I'll send him word. 1 know he'll como-. Teddy, If you'll only got well. You know tho doctor aud I are trying so hard to make you strong, but you must help. Medicine wont do it all. ou must think about getting better, and try to eat and laugh and bo happy. And the first thing you kuow all tbo paiu will go away and you will bo jutl a well aa I am." It waa a largo Idea, and his little mind could not tako It la easily. "How can you tell him where I am?" lie waa auspicious. "Why. I ll send him a letter." "Couldn't you send him a telegram? It'd get there lots quicker. An' tell him to answer paid." Ho waa on fa miliar ground now. She thought it over a little before she replied. "All right, Teddy, 111 aend him a telegram. And if he says hell como will you try real bard. dearie?" Tears of iiopo atood In her eyea. "Yea " ho aald finally. lf ho Bays he'll bring me a treo with lots of red an bluo an rrcen an' vellow thlncs on ft. an' some candy, an' an a lo comotive lugyne what U run all by It self." She drew the covers around his neck and tucked him In snugly. "I'll tell him. dearie," she said. "And I Just know he'll bring the Mngyne'. Now go to sleep- and you'll wake up in the morning lot better." She stroked the little head gently. Slowly bis yes closed and he slept. Amy went to her room. At her desk she wrote a note to the manager of the telegraph company, and taking it to the front door dropped It la the let ter not witn a little prayer. Teddy's first words the next morn ing were full of anticipation, "dot that wire yet?" Amy smiled reassur ingly, "un. u s too early. Walt till mis arternoon." Ha ate hla breakfast with relish, and mere waa a new note in his voice wnen the doctor came in. Hut It was a part of their plan that the doctor should not know, and though Teddy waa on the peak of expectancy be cpt iuu sucrei. . a At i . ai mree ooiock a messenger nrougni Amy a yellow envelope, and Bhe took It straight to Teddy's bed. He reached for it eagerly, tore it open, ana win saining eyes read the mes sage: Will (tea bj soma Uiaa Cbxigtmaa morning. Too buay to see yon, but will leave a few reminders. Hang up storking. Hanva Claua. He looked no Into her faco with an expression of rapture. "That's straight goods," he aald. "It's tho real thing, even to tho press copy." Then hla thoughts took a long lump. "How long beforo Christmas?" ho asked. Utirlng tho next threo weeks Amy waa very busy. Hho had to calculate closely fur the money. Her salary was small, and there waa her widowed mother to care for. Hut her anxlt.ty was unnecessary. One day a note camo from tho manager of tho tele graph company. Tbo boys In tho oTlc had taken us a Jii.ua collection, ior Teddy's Christmas, ho aald, and It was hla pleasure to send her tho rasn ten dollars and eighty seven cents. What a Godsend! Toddy should bavo a royal Cbrlstmaa oven to tho "Ingyno that would go by Itself. There wbb now no doubt that Teddy waa improving. l)By by day tho tbln faco filled out. HI color returned. Ho wa eating regularly sleeping soundly, and the splls of coughing were less frequent. Tbo doctor spoko of the change, but Amy wa uncom munlcatlve. "Some new Influence 1 at work," ho said to her ono day. It wa Just a week beforo ChrUtmas. "Tho gain I most reraarkablo. Tell mo, Mlsa Nor ton, what wonderful elixir bavo you given him? I may need It myself bo foro long. I, too, have a malady that defle drugs. Sbo looked at him in sudden fear- then flushed before hla atrong, tender gazo. "I cannot tell you now." Her eyea were turned away. Her face was bright with pleasure. "Hut can't I know soon? he asked. with an almost boyish pleading In bia voleo. "Name a day 'when 1 may aak and be answered." Sho turned to him with a new light In her eyes. Something told her that hla Interest was not in Teddy alone. "Ask me Cbrlstmaa morning," she whispered, "and I will tell you; not a day before." And try as he might he could get no more from her. Cbrlstmaa evo arrived, with wind and snow and bitter cold. Teddy f ared tbo weather would keep Santa Claua away. Hut Amy reassured him. "Oh. Santa Claua likes tbo snow. He rldea In a big alelgh with a long team of relndeera. Ilea sure to get here some tlmo In tho night. We'll hang up your stocking right here on the bedpost. And then you must go to slo' p early." At eight o'clock sho went off duty. Teddy didn't get to sleep as directed, for excitement, but finally ho fell into a deep slumber. HI telegram in bis band, and bia long black stocking bung in plain eight on tho bedpoBt All over the city, fathers and mothers wero commencing their work of lovo, and Amy, tired though she was, began lu r own. In a private room stood the treo. Tho floor was strewn with packages Sho bad no assistance, but she worked on. with strings of popcorn and cran berries, fancy bags of candy, brilliant glasa balls, and showers of tinsel Near midnight four strong men camo from tho lower ward, and Teddy's lit tle iron bed, with Teddy sound asleep, wan carried gently into tbo private room. Then Blio slipped away to her rest. 11 seemed ja Amy that but a few minute bad elapsed when aho was awakened by tho alarm clock on her bureau. Sho arose, made a light, and bathed her faco again and again in the cold water until ehc felt able to keep her eyes open. It was five o'clock still dark. Sho entered Teddy's room and turned on the electric light. Ho was sleeping quietly. There was a step In the hull and the door opened. It was tho doctorhis faco a study. Sho bold up a warning finger, then turned to the bed nnd reaching down took the boy in her arma and kissed him. "Teddy,'' sho cried, a little sob In her voice "Teddy, Merry Christmas!, ilerrj Christmas! Teddy." Teddy woke suddenly and sat bolt upright. He gavo a shout of Joy. Oh-h-h," he cried. In a long, echoing gasp. "Oh, Jimmlny Whllliklns. ain't that great." Then worda failed him, and ho could only look and look, his eyea feastiug on wonders that hia tongue could not describe. They put a warm bathrobe around him and placed him on the floor, for ho was not yet able to walk. Hy his sldo Amy laid the stocking, now- bulging with treasures. In front of him stood tbo "ingyne" and many other things dear to boyish hearts Ho bandied Ihcm ono after another in silent awe. Then ho took tho stock ing and with delicious deliberation poured from it a wealth of treasures. He was dazed by his sudden accumu lation of riches. He looked up at them with a smile. "That's a bully Santa Claua," ho said. "He done his part nobly. I'm gola' to get well all right." After a while they put him back to bed, with his gifts spread around him, and together left the room. The dawn was breaking. The busy world was waking. From without came tho toot ing of horns. Bells were ringing all over the great city. It was Christmas morning. The doctor went with ber to ber door. Even In the dim light of the hall he could see the drawn lines about her mouth and eyes, her trem ulous Hps. "You must go back to bed," he said anxiously. "I will see that you are not disturbed until soon. You are tired out" She did not try to speak, fearing that she would cry Instead. "You have won a groat victory ovor death," he said. "The injuries are nothing now; he will recover. It is the desire to live that you have im planted la him that is tho triumph." Then, on sudden Impulse, he put his arms about her. "Oh, Amy, Amy,1" he said brokenly. "You have saved bis life; will you not save mine, dear? Will you Bay yes? I cannot live with out you." Then be was gone, and on her trem bling Hps his kiss burned like sweet flren Half fainting, her heart going like a trip-hammer, aho closed tbo door and sank upon the bed. Gradually peace came to her, and slumber. In her dreams she beard him calling: "Amy, Amy, I cannot live without you." And suddenly she awoko, In the broad sunlight, smiling, and whisper lug to herself: "Herbert, Herbert, yes, wua ait my soui. CLEVER WOMAN DETECTIVE. itlSS ATWIAWK C.

Km-oll haa Joined the army of women worko. s, but In such a unique way that her accomplishments cannot fall to interest oti'er women through out the entire country. Mlsa Itussell Is a detective, but tho many disagreeable attributes which are commonly suppoied to go hand in band with this profession are wanting in tho case of this Interesting young woman who follows it rather from a lovo of its adventures than for the results which it brings about. Six yeara' service In connection with tho Now York Plnkerton forces and on private work have given to Miss Rus sell a fund of lnterejtlng experiences MISS ADELAIDE C.

Miss Russell Is still la her twenties' but during the six years she has beer, a detective; she has been all around tho world and haa adopted many dif ferent disguises. Sho Lever worki through her own personality, but adopts the various disguises as the occasion warrants, further than this she bac tho remarkable record of never having known failure. Of the hundreds ol cajca on which ehe has worked she has obtained tho results for which 6hc started and to-day her record la one of continual successes. Has figured in Famous Cases. If ono wero given a thousand chances to name Miss Russe:l's profession, that of detective would never .figure on the list. Ono might tako her for a singer, probably for an actress, maybe for a newspaper woman, but never class hei as a clever sleuth who haa figured in some of the most famous caeca in this country and Europe. During tho Paris Exposition Miss Russell worked on several forgery cases which had their locale In Paris. In order to gain knowledge to bo used as evidence in these cases MUs Rus sell, who is a talented musician and plays the harp skillfully, dressed as a street musician, again as a newsboy and still aain as a hotel waitr Ono of tho most celebrated ir?irce cases this country has ever known was brought to a climax through evidence secured by Miss Russell. Tho husband was tho offender and went to Mexico, MUs Russell followed blm there, hired herself as a maid and traveled with tho people all over Europe. Sho was gone eight months and when the case finally came to trial and tho man found that be had been paying the expenses of a detective tor nearly a year he at tempted to kill Miss Russell. Her ready use of a email platol which sho always carried saved her life. Mlsa Russell admits that for once her heart was in her mouth, although the fright was only momentary. Disguised as a Newsboy. In New York Miss Russell has sold dozens of newspapers among tho crowd of "newsies" about Wall street She acknowledges that In nearly all the divorce cases which fall to her share her sympathy Is with the wife. Recently she had such a case to follow up and having located ber people in the outskirts of a certain large city Miss Russell visited the bouse nearly every day, but always In a different disguise. First Bhe went as a man, wearing a little light mustache; again sho went as a little old German woman selling herbs. Her accent was so broken that she could hardly be un derstood and she put up such a story of hard luck that she was invited to come again, which of course, she did, The lady has a particularly charm ing personality. Her voice is soft and cultivated, but can be mads to change almost instantly. She is handsome and has a moat striking individuality. She speaks a half dosen languages fluently, la a gifted musician, and has a keen sense of a clue which would do honor to the best men detectives in the busi ness.
