Only a. few sanguine friends believed that the huge debt of over $106,000 would ever be lifted from it. A prominent Mont- real financier, when asked to loan money and hold as security on mort- gage the hospital. enquired as to the suitability of the building for “factory purposes." Perhaps it was his re- marks as much as anything else that helped the brave ones who stood by the hospital. The very idea of such a. possibility stirred the hearts and spurred the efforts of those to whom the Hospital work had become dear. Taking the responsibility of the load upon their own shoulders the trustees of the Sick Children’s Hospital ap- peaied to the generous hearts of a. I ich provinceâ€"Ontario. Here is a Hospitalâ€"they told it through the newspapers â€"â€" which throws open its doors in answer to the cry of any sick child, a Hospital that has nursed and cured thousands of helpless and crippled children; a Hos- pital equipped as is no other institu- tion of its kind in the world. Shall a charity so sweet and deserving be forced to close its doors by a mort- gagee who thinks it might do for a mill? That was eight years ago. Not be- fore nor since has a single sick child been refused admission to the Hos- pital. A staff of doctors and a corps of trained nurses are there durinz the clay and the long watches of the night-â€" tenderly and skilfully caring for the lit- tle ones given into their care by fond. anxious parents. Little children are brought to the Hospital from the farth- est points of the province. Every town and township has been represented during the past quarter century. The fame of its great healing' power has been told in many a humble homeâ€"â€" for duriner twenty-five years 40000 sick children have been taken care of. Some of the. little ones treated in those early days are strong, healthy men and women to-day. Last yea." the Hospital roll number- ed 5.776 patients. Some spent days and weeks in the cots at the Hospital. Others came for a few days. while many were brought to the doors of the Hospital in the arms of their mothers and received such medicine and advice as to speedily effect a cure in their own homes. More than one-third of the little chil- dren admitted to the Hospital wards tame from places outside the city.

SHOT AT FOR A THIEF 'l" xe Startling Incident In the Life of u loung‘ Tippler That Sobered Him Forlefeâ€"A “fucked Mirror and a (.‘onsidernte Landlady. “It I should ever appear on the plat- form as a. temperance lecturer,” said the man with the red mustache. “I could preach my most effective sermon on a text derived from my own experience. You wouldn’t think to look at me now that I had ever been a tippler, but I have been, and it was the incident that turned my appetite away from the seductive bowl that I should work up as the strong point of my lecture. “I was quite a young fellow then, and I was living in a boarding house in Twenty-third street. This house was a large one. and four of the boarders in it: I have special cause for remembering. These four were a man named Donley, who occupied a room on the fourth floor; a Miss Chapman and her maid. Elise, who had a suit on the third floor. and a young dentist named Maverick, who had rooms directly beneath Miss Chapman’s. Although she lived in the house six months. the only thing any of us knew about Miss Chapman was that she had magnificent diamonds. "One night in those days I got in about 2 a. m.. more befuddled than usual. I stood on the steps awhilefumbling with the door key. and while thus engaged a man hurried up the steps and addressed “‘Hollo!’ he said. ‘IIow fortunate I am to find somebody else coming in at this time, and somebody with a key too. I went out Without mine.’ “Stupefied as I was, I didn’t notice the man‘s appearance. Understanding him to say something about his key. I unques- tioningly took him for a boarder, and when the door finally yielded to my pa- tient endeavors I made no protest against his entering the house. He pushed in close behind me and went directly up the stairs. As for me. the effort of un- locking the door had been too much for me, and I sat down on a chair in the hall to regain my equilibrium. In the few minutes I rested there I must have dozed. for the next thing of which I was conscious was a succession of blood cnrdling feminine creams from some- where in the upper regions. Then I realized that something terrible was tak- ing place, but lacking both wit and strength to mount the stairs and offer assistance I left the chair in the hall and stepped into the parlor. I had been standing there only a few seconds when a man’s figure stole softly down the stairway and out at. the front door. I understood in a dull way that I ought to try to stop the man. but my limbs and tongue were paralyzed. ”In the meantime other inmates of the house were out. Donley, on the fourth floor. happened to have in his trunk an old army revolver of 48 caliber and a foot and a half long. Donley was a light sleeper. and with the first scream he was out of bed and ransacking his trunk for the revolver. He finally found it and started down stairs. The screams issued from Miss Chapman's apartment. ands he headed for the door of her sitting room. 'l‘hat entrance was closed. but the bedroom door stood ajar. and he rushed in. Miss Chapman was stretch- ed ort on the floor in a faint. while her maid was huddled in a corner shrieking like a mad woman. The carpet was strewn with diamonds which Donley trod upon in his frantic search for the disturher of his peace. Being unable to gain either from Miss Chapman or her maid an explanation of what had oc- curred. he hurried down stairs. 0n the second landing he met Maverick. The dentist was as pale as a ghost. and he clutched Donley's shooting arm and held it tight. He said nothing. but with a kind of pantomime that would have been funny if it had not been so serious he led the way a few steps down toward the first floor. then stopped and pointed through the (ion doorway into the par- lor. Just outside the front windows was a street lamp whose light filtered through the lace curtains. In one of the beams of light I stood, motionless with liquor and terror. For an instant Donley and Mav- ‘ erick gazed upon me. “ "1‘ lapped} said Maverick. Then he released l)0nlev’s arm. and Donley raised the army revolver. He “:15 about to fire “hen he iemembexed that as a man and a Christian he ought to give oven :1 bur- glar a chance for his life. and he leaned over the balustrade and asked. ‘Who are yuu?’ . -o .- _. 1 ,,-_| U nu . “I heard his wouls distinctly :ml real- ized that he \\ as speaking: to me but for the life of me I eniildu t1epl3.

My legs were more plinblethuu my tongue. however. and as Dooley tired they gave way beneath me. and I sunk to the floor just in time to escape the budget of ammunition stored away in that capricious revolver.
