Barton, gueen of tha Orphanage She
was born late lasi June, of unwodded par
ents about whom the least said the bet
ter, oiul was brought to us by a "bahy
famur." who lived near the outskirts
of Galveston, until the flood washed her
loir away. The puny, pitiful-looking lu
ll* creature, half nourished and never
cared for, was one mas* of distressing
sores, from the crown of Its head to Itn
soles of It* skeleton feel—a dreadful ex
ample of the g.-rlptural warning concern
ing the tint of the parents. She had lit
erally been through the fiood. floss,ng ,n
the Gulf and rescued as by a miracle—
let us hoi>e for some good purpose in
heaven's plan. Never was seen more

ot a pair of beautiful biuo eyes, set in
n wlxxrm-d face lli.i! might be - oi l.
look out contentedly upon the world that
hitherto used It so hardly.
Then there Is little Mabel M irtln. whose
lot In life was almost as discouraging.
Born a few months after her father's
d,ah. at Ih* home of her grandparent*
on Bernardino I’ralrie, somewhere up tn
this Itlg state of Texas—her mother came
to Galveston, sf.oii as able. In search of
work, bringing the baby along und leav
ing It by dav in the care of an old wo
man The storm came; the mother per
ished In trying to get to her child, and
her poor body may yet bo rottlnq under
some of these henis* ef wi< kag Tt
faithful old woman saved the baby, though
In water up to the shoulders, protecting
th* little face hy hiding tt under her
chin, and at last carrying the child on
her head The marvel is that li did not
die of coal and exposure, for he w .man
had not a dry rag, nor anything lo feed
It, and nowhere t<>go but iht o|ien camp
on the beech. There the Red Cross peo
ple found it iwo day* later, still wet and
almost 4**'* from cold ami hunger. Time
will not permit me to tell you of the
twenty-seven other cases equally Interest-
Ing. but we must not quite omit Tomm;'
Cobb, the oldest boy In the orphanage.
Il |s nearing his fifteenth birthday—a
handsome lad. with brlgbi brown eyes
that exactly match his curling hair A
f. iv short weeks ago. he was an Import
mi factor In u happy home, near tile
western end of the city, where hi* father
owned a dairy and small truck farm Be
ing inielllg-ne ond well-to-do. the family,
including Tommy's two sisters, were at
least mtdwuy on the social ladder In
the tn.dsl of Ihe storm they were all
Cllngli g io a door-jamb, and when tne
house fell the women were probably pin
ned under It and ewept Into the Gulf—
tlielr bodies having never been found
Tommy and his father swam out alone,
and a( once became separated In the
general confusion. The (ramie father
searched the place lhat a few minutes
before hail been home—but all were gon<
Drifting wah the current, he Anally
caught hold of a floating onk tree—and
there was Tommy, scared half to de.,l
by a huge moccasin snake ihnt had pre
imptol the other end of Ihe log The
snake was equally scared and easily dis
patched; and *.> Tommy came to us until
hf- father can get straightened out and
go into business again.
Smoking of snakes—one of the horrors
of the norm was the number* of them
that were swept Into the water, along with
human being*, nil lighting for their live*.
There were many moccasins and rattier*
in unoccupied porta of this Island, and
especially on the main land. Among a
hundred gruesome stories told of encoun
ters with them In the flood, I have space
to repent hut one. which 1 know to he
true. In Hitchcock, fifteen mtir* from
Galveston, a wealthy old lady from the
North wa* stopping at she hotel, await
ing her son’s rgturn from some busines.-i
trip During the flood ehe manag’d lo
climb n tree; bill hardly had she reached
a place of safety before a
rattlesnake. which had climbed
before her. atm ked her. In frrnxy
she soiled the reptile Ju*t below Its head
and crushed Ms life out. When rescued,
hour* later, they thought she was rraxy
when hahl'nh of the snake—until they
found Its bmp body dangling from a lower
branch and examined It* mangled neck
and her blood- 1 rained hand.
Pniheilc scene* are continually occur
ring In our Orphanage, when parents,
knowing lhat ll Is a temporary home for
waif* of Ihe flood, come searching for
therr loot children. Though assured before
hand that we know something of the an
tecedent* of every one of these, nnd that
their* cannot pos-lhly he among them,
"Hope springs eternal In the human
breast" nnd they lnsat on making a per
sonal examination. One of the most pit
iful thing* on earth Is to see a bereaved
mother anxiously r aiming the Utile faces
In the children's playroom or kindergar
ten#—and then Icing led sobhling away by
som ekind woman who wears the Red
Cross button on her breast.

But there are bright spot*, too—as. for
example. In anticipation of the approach
ing holiday season, which will be mode
happy for these little one*, nnd for other
unfortunates nil over the land, by lhat
beautiful charity, ihe 'New Y'ork I'xam

league, originated hy that department of
the KxamlncT known a# "For All the
Family"—to supply poor children, who
would olherwlsc he without cheer on the
Christ-child's day, with gift* suited to
their ye.tr* nnd condition—is everywhere
meeting with generous response. Judging
from the unbounded delight caused hy n

lo happy dreams with the precious gifts
of unknown friends clasped to hie bosom.
