The Quaker Baby.

After I had taken my seat, I looked up and down the car to see if a certain bat and overcoat and newspapers held the same place they bad held tor iny mornings before. There tbey were, to be eure and in a minute or two their owoer rose deliberately and took another seat as near to mine as olrcamstances would admit.

The flrxt tim« had ever noticed him, I bad met a dear old friend of my mother's in the cars, and during along ride I detailed to her the thousand and one little matters which accumulate even in the dullest times. As we approached the city, I perceived that a gentleman who oocupled the seat in front of us had been listening to my .talk and found amusement in It. It vexed me a little, but I could net remember having said anything out of the way, and should never have given it a second thought but for what followed.

My listener, as I will call him, waited at tbe car *teps to help me to the platform and then went on his way. And this was the beginning of myiobserving blra,.

I lived in qn imand towuiUjd went two or three tim^s a week to thtf "Most Christian" city (I hope §very one recognises it by that name), Hp take lessons in drawing and water /jolo** Ou this particular morning, itfter listener nad changed bis seat without so much as a glance in my direction, the train stopped at the ^Junction, and a young lady in Quaker costume, with a baby in ber arms, came in.

There were but two empty seats, one with my listener and one with me. She hesitated, and then sat down with me.

She had tbe pale and pure serenity which rests on so many Quaker faces, as if tbe silence of their worship gave quietness to their souls.

Whitest thoughts In whitest dress, Candid moaning* beat express Mind of quiet Quakoress. The baby might have been eight or nine months old, and absolutely looked older than its mother Its paleness was deepened by a drab alpaca cloak of the true Quake? color, unrelieved by tbe bright blue with which mothers of the world, worldly, set off a cloalr of that color.

It, or rather she (I guessed rightly that It was a girl, for boy babies are going out of fashion), regarded me with a fixed, solemn manner, as if the bright feather In my bat were insult to the oolorleas existence she had been born into.

I thiuk it is Charles Lamb who doubts the very existence of a Quaker baby. "Wbo ever saw one?" be asks "and if it really exists, Is tt fed on drab colored pap?" But here was a living answer to his doubt, and I grew positively reAtless under her Innocent gftze. 1 tried to disarm her with the wiles that had seen other people use with babies but whether I railed from want of practioo in the art, or whether uiv efforts were not so unconscious ana hearty as tbey might have been if I had not seen a smile haunting tbe feoeof my listener across the aisle—whatever the reason, the sphinx like face never altered. "I shall be rid of yon," I thought, "in a few minutes more but I counted without my host. When I left the car, my listener helped me to the platform, as usual, without any sign of consciousness that be had ever done it before. The Quakeress followed close after me. In spite of her extreme carefulness she caught her foot on tbe step and fell to tbe around but with the Instinct of motherly love, the same the world over, she managed to lay tbe baby softly down beside her without Iqjnry.

I took up the baby—awkwardly enough no doubt—while my listener lifted the mother, but with a moan she sank down a#aiu and /tainted *way.

Th* Quakeress had been the last to leave tbe car, and the orowd, well as the conductor, had gone about their business. My listener and I were left alone to fsoe thia development or affairs. "Tell me what to do and Pll do it," •aid my listener, desperately, as he chafed the poor woman's hands. "Do you think you could carry her to the waiting room? We can do better with her there."

He took her easily In his arms, and I led the way with the traveling biqp and tbe baby to the ladles' room, where she was laid, still uneonsoioua, on a settee.

Then he went In search of water, and I made a neat of shawls for the baby to lie in, while I gave my strength to reviving the mother: but even Quaker composure must give way at last to total ^depravity, and she went off into

snob a passion of orying and holding her breath that I considered a fit Imi nent, and took courage to say to my listener, when he returned with tbe water: "If you would hold the baby for a little while—" "The fates forbid!" be said, boldln up his hands in whimsical dismay never held a baby in my lite." "Neither did I, but I have seen others do it." "You must show me what to do then." "There," said I, arranging the baby's robes over his arm "be sure and keep her bead higher than ber feet. Now carry her about, and drum on the window, and if everything else fails, let her look at your watch."

He performed all of my bequests to the letter but tbe baby, as if to make up for its long silence, would not be pacified on any terms. I bathed the mother's face, and soon bad the pleasure of seeing ber eolor return and her eyes open. "Don't thee be alarmed for ma," she said, in a sweet voice "1 often faint."

She held out ber arms to tbe baby,: who immediately put on her Quaker quietness again, as If It were a maak but when she tried to rise she sank back with a groan, and it became evident that she nad somehow injured her foot. Tbe last movement was agony to her so there was nothing for it but to take the baby again, while my listener should go for a doctor.

The clook only Indicated half an hour before he returned but I have known whole weeks that aeemed to me shorter.

The mother did not suffer much when perfectly quiet, and I walked a weary round with that inexorable baby, wbo

y,wb rly if

oould not have cried more bitter had inflicted upon her all the peroecu tlons which her ancestors suffered at the bands of the Puritans.

The doctors found no bones broken, but the ankle was badly sprained. He applied a soothing lotion, using all our handkerchiefs for the purpose, and I was not so busy with my little tyrant bnt that I saw my listener furtively looking at tbe corner of my handkerchief. He was none the wiser, however, for tbe only mark was two letters, in German text in suchjfiligree embroidery as would have defied any linguist to name them.

Tbe doctor oould spare but a few minutes to bis patient, and advised our calling a carriage for her. She was on her way to visit ber mother, who lived In a suburb two or three miles out.

It appeared that my listener bad engaged a carriage when be went after tbe water, showing a thoughtfullness in his character which greatly increased my respect.

He carried the little Quakeress to a carriage, and arranged her in it then be returned and manfully relieved me of the baby—though I oould see she was a far heavier weight to him than her mother had been—while I gathered up the Mattered traveling bags and shawl. "It seems to me," he said, hesitatingly, "that one of us ought to see her safe to her journey's end, but I have spent so mucn time here already—" "Oh, I can do so perfectly well I shall lose nothing but a painting lesson." "Thank you, you have saved me muoh inoonvenlenoe. I hope when I meet with an accident on the cars, it may happen on one of your days for going into town."

The words were not much, but be bold out bis hand and shook mine so warmly that he brought the baby into imminent peril of falling, and I used ber to hide my face, which would redden without any reason.

When he had placed us all comfortably In the carriage, the Quakeress said to him: "Friend, I should be glad to know thy name and tbe place wnere thou doest business if, peradventure, I may ever repay thy kindness." "It is nothing. I only did as I was told. Tour thanks are due to the lady." "Nay, but tell me thine address," she gently persisted.

He looked at me, and not at tbe Quakeress, as he said: "My name is John Gordon, and my place is 210 street."

With many injunctions to tbe coachman to drive carefully, he left us. When we reached the little cottage where tbe mother of the Quakeress lived, I was warmly welcomed, and so hospitably entreated, that I went in and spent most of the day.

Even the baby relented toward me, under the sunny influence of her kind grandmother, and we became moderate friends.

I actually learned to love these peo-

Eours.

le on an acquaintance of only a few Have I said before that my listener already was not precisely as other men in my eyes? He was very tall, being fuilv Mix feet, If not a fraction over, with shoulders broad enough for any bur* deu.

He was a little clumsy withal, as If his body bad somewhat outgrown bis consciousness of It and, like all giantA, he was good natured every line in his faoe showed that the w^rld had wagged to his liking through life.

It is your little, wiry men who always have chronic discontents and grievances to redress, not tbe big, burly ones.

I suppoM I had already given a vast deal more thought to him and his ways than be had to mine. It is always so with women—the balanoe In such matters leans to them.

I rebut with scora the assertion that girls think or notblng but men and marriage, though tbe structure of soeiety really gtvoe them little else to think oi but I willingly admit that when tbey are making up their fate to marry blm tbey sometimes consider whether they oould be resigned to It or not.

I bad not by any means reached this point with my listener, but I was approaching it. 1 looked forward with some eagerness to my next journey cityward. I thought he would oertainly come and speak to me after our experience with the Quakeress.

He was in the cars as usual, but a lady sat beside blm, to whom be waa very attentive, and they walked up town together.

Then it dawned upon my mind for the first time that be might be married after all, and that my auspidon of bis Interest might possibly prove only a vain imagination.

It was a wet, dreary day, and I suppose people take cold easily when their spirits are low, for I went home at night shivering, and was not permitted to resume my journey till tbe end of a fortnight, wnenl found Mr. Gordon standing on tbe platform looking anxious. "I am glad to aee vou," he said, taking mv hand cordially. "I had begun to think that Quaker baby was too muoh lor you. And you have been 111 you are pale now." 1 thought of tbe lady I bad seen with to his me and his Inside pocket. "See," he said, "our patient has sent as something to remember ber by, and here is a note which yo* may read, IX you like."

This la the note: I "Frjrno John Gordons—If I were rich in world's gear, I would try to repay thy kindness to me when I was in great need, but I will only send thee a little book to remind thee sometimes of me. I have let slip from my memory the surnsme of the other friend who wss so good to me and baby 1 send another book to tbee for her, as I conclude that thou knowest her well.

Alios Nbwmax"

She had written Mr. Gordon's name in his book, which was a memoir of one of the early Quakers, and mine proved to be the same. As I turned over the leaves, a photograph of tbe baby dropped out: it looked like a little fat mean fngless lump of day, like all babies' pic tures. "I had one, too," said Mr. Gordon, laughing heartily. "I don't think the artist caught tbe happy expression, I would have had ber roaring lustily but I shall keep the ploture to my dying day and think well of all other baoies for her sake." "I did not observe any sign of love between you and the baby on that remarkable day." "Perhaps not, bnt she was very useful to me on that day, nevertheless.

I thought I saw a trap for my feet In this kind of talk, and did not answer him. "Let me write your name in the book," he said, after a pause. "If you please." "But I don't know it, yet." "It is Hester Deane." "Thank you. If I had known it sooner I should have been spared some anxiety, as I might possibly have found the reason of your staying at home so long."

He looked at me with suob sincere and pleasant eyes that I well nigh lost sight of the lady, whom I kept always fresh in my mind's eye, in talking with him.

Even after this, he waa waiting for me at the station, sat by me in the cars, and sometimes walked to tbe studio where I tqok lessons.

We grew very well acquainted mentally and morally, in our long talks. But Mr. Gordon left me wholly in the dark touching his family and circumstances, and I was too proud to make inquiries ot any one who lived in tbe same town with him.

This reticence on his part built up a certain reserve on mine, and I think he liked me none tbe less for it. The mere sight of him made my heart leap with joy, but I suffered myself to be nappy only under protest.

He had never actually said anything to me that a good husband and father might not say to a traveling acquaintance whom he found agreeable, and I knew that more latitude in manner is allowed to men than to women.

It came to pass one day in midsummer that Mrs. Newman, our little Quakeress, invited us both to take tea with ber. Mr. Gordon was not quite oertaln whether he con Id remain in town till the late train, but be would o6me if possible. "If you cared for me," I thought, "anything would be possible."

I had a warm welcome from Mrs. Newman and her sweet old mother, both of whom thought chat they could not make my visit more agreeable than by enticing tbe baby to show off her paces.

The baby was now a year old, and would have been charming but for teething, which no doubt would undermine the good nature of a erub.

As tea time drew on, I seemed to become nothing but ears in listening for Mr. Gordon. He came in good time, and within five minutes the good old lady had proved to her own satisfaction that he was the third cousin to her on her mother's side.

He seemed really to be pleased with all the world, and praised the baby and the preserves with about equal warmth. "Alice has told me how good thee was to the baby, Friend John peradventure thee has a child at home to make thee good to all others."

I held my breath for an instant. "No," he said, laughing, "the baby knows better she bore loud testimony to my awkwardness all the time I held ber. I have no children, because my wife may be a child herself yet, for aught I can swear to the contrary." iknew the sun was setting, for the room was growing dusky, when he said this but alight dawQea on me which has not darkened to this day.

After tea we went out on the vineoovered piazza with Mrs. Newman, while tbe mother carried the baby to ber nest upstairs.

Mr. Gordon seemed absent minded, and answered once or twice at random, while Mrs. Newman kept up a ripple or small talk prettily flecked with tbee and thou.

The baby evidently missed her mother, and she would not be comforted at last she broke out with tbe familiar roar, and tbe little mother left us te our own devioes. "That's a blessed baby," said Mr. Gordon. "Suppose we take a little walk up and down tbe street till Mrs. Newman Oomes back."

He drew my band through his arm and held me there, while we took a silent turn or two In the dewy darkness. I could not, for my life, think of anything to aay. "I suppose," said Mr. Gordon, at last, "that this world is always dark compared with heaven but people lighten it very muoh, sometimes, by loving eaoh other."

He waited a minute, and it seemed to me that all the world was listening for Ids next words. "Do you think you oould trust me for light enough of that kind to make you ar way through life?"

see^yonr wa

I could not speak for joy. "You are silent. I will spare you the pain ofaaying no. Let us go in."

We bad almost reached the gate, and Mrs. Newman's silvery drees abone dimly In tbe doorway. Mr. Gordon's hand touched tbe latcb. I laid mine upon it and whispered, "I lore yon with all my heart."

Then we went In and strenuously, objected to lights, lest Mrs, Newman should read our secret in our fkoes. "I uld really find it in my heart to kiss that terrible infant," Mr. Gordon said, as we took the late train together, "since she was made an instrument or fate to bring us together."

That Quaker baby could walk and talk when she came to oar wedding, and I have never seen another Quaker baby since.

THEATRICAL CHILDREN.

In some familiee children are made a show of before oompany to an extent that would suggest tbe idea that tbey were being trained to the theatrla&l pro* fosalon. Such precocity and boldness in social matter* is injurious to tbe child, begetting, as it aoea, selfishness and vanity, and oausing a dislike for the bumble and obscure duties and labors that all children should bo trained to perform. Let them In the fkmily and society be noted for modesty and quietness, rather than for pertness and premature forwardness,
