Detroit, 51aioh 23.—The gull that wits

Aeneas t W11 avenue, twerly put an end
t0'05 babe's exiatonoe ;seedily afternoon
after 00 experience of only 15 mouths of
thefperils of this life.
Mrs, Wielek and Johnnie were, passing
a long, dreary afternoon resting on the
bed. Mire, Wielek sought to shut Out
the natty world through sleep and paid
little attention to Johnnie. Her babe's
repose was light, and a abort nap served
to make hem lively and inquisitive,
As Una. Wielek paid little ntteution to
his efforts at starting a play epcll, John•
Me made up hie infant mind to depend
on his own resources, He soon exhaust-
ed the barren possibilities of his gar-
ments and the bed clothes and the Little
hands began an investigation of the pih
low on which hie mother's head rested,
Something hard and smooth met the
grasp of the inquisitive fingers. With
gutsier of satisfaction Johnnie pulled
from beneath the pillow the most mar-
velous toy he hid ever beheld.
No rattle which Johnnie had ever
shaken was so fascineting es the new
plaything, No milk bottle's clean glass
tildes had ever reflected the light an the
&allayed steel barrel the strange toy,
Here was something exquisitely beauti-
ful and utterly foreign. It would bear
iaventigation. Why had mother kept
the deeding toy away from him so longi
Baby pounded mother with it to find
out.
Mrs. Wielek turned and saw bbe revol-
ver in Johnnie's halide.. She laughed at
her eon's enjoyment of the weapon.
"It's a good thing it's not loaded,"
else thought, and at the idea of what
might have happened If the babe had
found the toy before the cartridges had
been taken out she shuddered involun-
tarily. Then seeing, that the child wan
happy and contented) with his plaything
.be closed her eyes.
Raving looked with admiring eyes and
pried with adventurous fingceri, Johnnie
Chow Bought other posslbihthe in the
toy. It would certainly made a good
hemmer, much better than a rubber rat-
tle. Johnnie grasped the pretty gem
and hanunered it on the bed clothe*.
With a sudden roar, the weapon re-
vealed its treachery, Mrs. Wiofek shriek-
ed as the bullet entered her neck. She
hastily staunched the flow of blood with
the bed clothes. Johnnie lay still, the
revolver still grasped in his hand, the
smoke of burnt powder coiling through
hie baby fingers. Neighbors, alarmed by
the report, rushed in to find Johnnie ap-
ppaasently dead, and Mrs. Wielek almost
frantic with grief and dated by her own
