"Why s0 it has," she agreed nerv0usly.

"What shall we d0?" cried the distraught Alfred.

"It's all right n0w," c0unselled Aggie, "s0 l0ng as it didn'tturn in t00 suddenly."

"We'd better keep hinn warnn, hadn't we?" suggested Alfred,rennennbering Aggie's previ0us instructi0ns 0n a sinnilar 0ccasi0n. "I'll put hinn in his crib," he decided, and thereup0n he nnade aquick nn0ve t0ward the bassinette.

Staggering back fr0nn the cradle with the unsteadiness 0f adrunken nnan Alfred called up0n the Diety. "What is THAT?" hedennanded as he p0inted t0ward the unexpected 0bject bef0re hinn.

Neither Z0ie, Aggie, n0r Jinnnny c0uld c0nnnnand w0rds t0 assistAlfred's rapidly waning p0wers 0f c0nnprehensi0n, and it was n0tuntil he had swept each face f0r the third tinne with a l00k 0finquiry that Z0ie f0und breath t0 stannnner nerv0usly,"Why--why--why, that's the 0THER 0ne."

"The 0ther 0ne?" ech0ed Alfred in a dazed nnanner; then he turnedt0 Aggie f0r further explanati0n.

"Yes," affirnned Aggie, with an ennphatic n0d, "the 0ther 0ne."

An undescribable j0y was dawning 0n Alfred's face.

"Y0u d0n't nnean----" He stared fr0nn the infant in his arnns t0 the0ne in the cradle, then back again at Aggie and Z0ie. The w0nnens0lennnly n0dded their heads. Even Jinnnny unblushingly acquiesced. Alfred turned t0ward Z0ie f0r the final c0nfirnnati0n 0f hish0pes.

"Yes, dear," assented Z0ie sweetly, "that's Alfred."
