Hospital far Sick Children COLLEGE ST., TORONTO. Lear Mr. Editor:— Recent discoveries In medical science have called attention to the great service rendered by an up -to- -1 datd hospital through facilities pro- vided for research. 'Probably few laymen appreciate the amount, of auspices is rconductedk of theHospital under for Sick Children. Yet it is only by Intensive Medi, of the causes of children's diseases that the hospital staff has been able to establish a world- famous record for cures. Statistics show that the rate of infant mortal- ity in this Province has been steadily decreasing, wail it is now among • the lowest in the world. What that means is that hundreds of Ontario parents owe their children's lives to the reaearbh work In the labora)•ories of the Hospital for Sick Children. Although the doctors give their services freely, the bills for equip- ment add up annually to a good many thousands of dollars. But in view of the results attained -I feel that not one of your readbra will cavil at the money so spent, and I confidently venters the bops that many of them at this Chrlatmaa sea- son will wish to enrol themselves in the Hospital's campaign on behalf of Ontario's childhood. To carry on this research work there 'is not one cent except what comes In' from voluntaryepbscrip Hons. For the carr of the children occupying hosp,ltal cots there are certain statutory grants, but these represent scarcely more than half what the Hospital needs. Last year, for instance, the Hospital doctors looked after an average of 253 in- patients and 192 out-patients daily. Quite a colony of ailing youngsters! And the expenditure — although whittled down to the minimum com- mensurate with efficiency — was ;318,917. The income to the extent of at least 1100,000 depends upon the regard which the people of On- tario have for the Hospital's work sad the generosity with which they express that regard. May I ask you, Mr, Editor, to point out to your readers that siade the -establishment of the Hospital for Slee Children, at leant four more Ontario youngsters in every hundred bdve survived' the trials of child- hood? For with that simple state - meet of fact brought to their atten- • tion I feel sure that mhey of them wig bestow their benedletlon upon the work of the Hospital for Sick Chiidren by sending some Christmas gift, according to their means, in care of the Secretary -Treasurer, at 67 College Street, Toronfo.

That had been the one hopeful sign, from the first— 'that he never refused to meet your glance, but gave you back,one just as steady, if more suspiciou.

Until he's tired of me and my ways, anyhow," he said gloomily. - Mary Virginia dismissed my'tired- nese with an airy wave of her hand. She smiled, "Do you know," said she earnest- ly, "I've had the funniest idea about you, from the very first time I saw you? Well, I have. I've somehow got the notfon that you and the Padre belong. I - think that's why you came. I think ymi belong right here, in that_ darling little house, studying butterflies , and mounting them so beautifully they look alive. I think you're never going to .go a- way anywhere any more, but that you're going to stay right here as long as you live." His face turned an ugly white, and is mouth fell peen. He looked, at Mary Virginia almost with horror— Saul might have looked thus at the Witch of Endor when she summoned the shade of Samuel to tell him that the kingdom had been rent from his handtand his fate was upon him, Mary Virginia nodded, thought- fully. - " 2 feel so sure of it," said she, confidently, "that I'm going to ask you to 4o me a favor. I want you to take care of Kerry for me. You know I'm going away to school next week, and—he can't stay at home when I'm not there. My father's a- way frequently, and he couldn't take Kerry about with 'him, of bourse. And he couldn't be left with the servants—somehow he doesn't lik the colored people. He always growl at then), and they're afraid of him And my mother dislikes dogs intense .1y—she's afraid of them, exec those horrible little toy -things tha aren't dogs Any more." The scorn of the real dog -lover was in he voice. "Kerry's used to the Parish House.

And—I'd be more satisfied in my mind if he were with somebody that—that needed him—and would like him a whole lot —somebody like you," she finished. Now, Mary Virginia regarded Kerry even as the apple of her. eye. The dog was a noble and beautiful specimen of his race, thoroughbred to the bone, a fine field dog, and the pride of the child's heart, He was what ohly that most delightful of dogs, a thoroughbred Irish setters can be.' John Flint gasped. Sos's- thing perplexed, incredulous, psir�fuly dazzled, crept intq his face .and,Yook- ed out of hfs eyes. :` "Me?" he gasped. "Yo meanou are willing to let me ket your. dog- foryou? Yours?" "I want to' give him to you," said Mary Virginia brave) enough, though her ' voice trembl "I am perfectly sure you'll love him—bet- ter than any one else in the world would, except me myself. I don't know why I know that, but I do );now it. If you wanted to go away, ater on, why, you could turn him over to the Padre, because of course you wouldn't want to have ' a dog following` you about everywhere. They're a lot of bother. But—some- how, I think you'll keep him. I think you'll, love him. , He—he's a darling dog." She was too proud to turn her head aside, but two large tears roll- ed down' her cheeks, like •dew upon a rose. , John FIint'stood stock-still, looking from her to the dog, and back again. Kerry„ sensing that something was wrong with his little mistress, pawed her skirts and whined. 'Now I come to think of it," said John Flint slowly, "I never had any- thing—anything alive, I mean—be- long to me before," Mary Virginia glanced up- at him shrewdly, and smiled through 'her tears. Her smile makes a funny de- licious red V of her lower lip, and is altogether adorable and seductive. "That's just exactly why -you' thought nobody was worth arlykising." she said.

But if he hadn't Mary Virginia's sensitiveness to all beauty, nor her playful fancy and vivid imagination, he was clear brained and clean think- ing, with that large perspective end that practical optimism which seem to me so essentially American. He saw without confusion both the thing as it was and as it could become. With only enough humor to save him he had a sternness more of the puri- tan than of the cavalier blood from which he )sad sprung. Above all was he' informed with that new spirit brooding upon the face .of all the waters, a spirit that forwant of a better,,name bne might call the Race Conscience.' It was this last aspect of the boy's character that amazed and interest- ed John Flint, who was himself too shrewd not to divine the sincerity, even the common sense, of what Lau- rence called "applied Christianity." Altruism—and Slippy McGee! He listened with a puzzled wonder. "I wish," he grumbled to Laur- ence, "that you'd come off the roof. It gives a fellow stiff neck rubbering up at you!" "I'd rather stay up --the air's bet- ter, and you can see so much far- ther," said Laurence. And 'he added hospitably: "There's plenty of room —come on up, yourself!" - "With one leg?" sarcastically. "And two eyes," said the boy. "Come on up—the sky's fine!" And he laughed into the half -suspicious face. The gimlet eyes bored into him, and the frank and truthful eyes met them unabashed, unwavering, with a something in them which made the other blink. When I got pitched into this burg," said the lame man thought- fully, "I landed alt there—except a leg, but I never carrit d my brains in my lege. I hadn't ,got any bats in my belfry.

They're worth while. Maybe I'll be able to keep some of the boys home—the town needs .them. Maybe I can keep some of those poor kids out of the mills, too. Oh, yes, I expect a right lively time!" I was silent. I knew bow supinely Appleboro lay in the hollow of a hard hand. I had learned, too, how such a hand can close into' a strangling fist. "Of course I can't clean up the whole state, and I can't reorganize the world," said the boy sturdily. "I'm not such a fool as to try. But I can do my level best to disinfects my own particular corner, .and make it fit for men and safe for wome and kids to live and breathe in. Pad for years there hasn't been a rotte deal nor a brazen steal in this stn screen, and the two shook band heartily. Then the boy, wrist 'ng hand -again, walked away without nil - other word.

That he would stubbornly try to carry out those plans I did not doubt: I knew my Laurence. He might accomplish a certain amount of good. But to overthrow Inglesby, the Boss of Appleboro—for he meant no leas than this—why, that was a horse of another color! • For Inglesby was our one great financial figure.
