COLUMBIA NOVELTY CO., Dept. 71, East Boston, Ma*s The Confessions of a Common place Man {Continued from page y) heart, and that the boy must be kept in a recumbent position for a few days longer, and must have no excitement. “ You understand now, don’t you, Kitty? ” I asked. “Yes,” she said, “and of course I shall obey the doctor’s orders. Nevertheless I believe that the boy is, to all intents and purposes, well.” “He is,” I agreed, “if he has no set-back, such as over-exertion or excitement would j cause.” The next morning I received a notifica tion from my lawyer that he would like me to run on to his office and see him about a matter of importance. It pertained to my ' sister’s property, and as I was her only near relative and adviser I felt it my duty to go. I arranged, however, to leave one afternoon and return the next day. The doctor said j the boy was all right. Dinah was a good nurse, and his mother promised me to stay j at home all the time I was absent. But her face fell as she promised. “It is too bad,”she said, “that you have to go just now, for you know I was to lead the german at the hotel to-night.” I had forgotten the fact, and told her so, but 1 could not well postpone my trip. “You don’t suppose,” she asked tenta tively, “that since Bobby is so much better it would be all right for me to leave him for two or three hours?” “By no means!” I exclaimed. “The little chap’s heart is not right yet. Dinah would be good to him, but some intelligent person should be here in case he should become worse. You will stay right here all the while, won’t you, dear?” “Of course I will!” she promised, half- I petulantly. “If I say I will, I will. He is my boy as well as yours, please remember!” So I went. A telephone message reached me at my lawyer’s office the next morning. I I was back at my home before noon. The doctor had told me over the wire that in the night the boy had crept from his bed, ; walked to the head of the stairs, fainted and i fallen tlown the ’ entire flight. When I i reached him he was still unconscious, and j it was impossible to tell yet how serious his I injuries were. I learned from Kitty’s sobbing story that “while everybody in the house was asleep j Bobby had tried to steal down-stairs to find his father, and fainting in the effort, had fallen.” “If you had been here it would not have happened,” she wailed, dropping into a chair, and burying her face in her hands. “You ought not to have left him, for you knew how weak he was and how restless he would be with you away. Please don’t ask me any more questions! I can’t bear them! It kills me to speak of the horror of it all!” And, pitying her anguish, I asked no more questions. I believed she had told me all the facts. A last the present danger of death to our little son was past. But the spine was hopelessly injured. The child would never walk again. Nor would he ever be as bright as other children. When this sentence was passed Kitty broke down completely. For weeks she refused to see the child. She was “afraid of the sight, ” she said, and begged me to let her “go home for a while.” I wrote at once to her father, telling him she was com ing to make him a visit. A week after my wife went North, Dinah came into my library one night and begged me to allow her to give up her place. I j was surprised, but told the maid she could leave if she wished to do so. She thanked me, then her eyes filled with tears. “Oh, sir, I’s got to tell you something,” gasped the girl. “Missus done make me promus’ I’d lie on de couch an’ listen fer Marse Bob, an’ when she went to de hotel to j de dance I meant fer to stay awake. I jes’ laid down on de couch, not meanin’ to sleep. , But when lie called 1 didn’t hear him, an’ lie got skecrcd, an’ he jumped outer his crib, an’ tried to run downstairs, an’ he fell, an’ l hcered him holler ‘Daddy!’ jest befo’ he fell, an’ I run to him, but I was too late, an’ when 1 got downstairs to him he was a-layin’ still like he was dead! Den I opened de front door an’ I screeched, and someone heered me an’ run to de hotel fer Missus’, an’ she sent fer de doctah,—an’ it’s all my fault fer goin’ ter sleep,—an’—Oh, please ter fergive me!” A year ago she got a divorce in another state on the grounds of desertion. I did not contest the case. O. sent retm * stsnseune The only prep oration which removes absolutely and protects the hands and face against the winter winds. MAURICE LEVY, Sole U. S.
