On the street Mrs. Hardman could scarcely drag him away from the babies out for an airing and he even sought to abduct an unusually pretty child and was pursued by a mob of excited nursemaids who compel him to return the child while some husky men evinced an entire willingness to to lynch him. He advertises for an infant for adoption, all unconscious of the surprise in store for him for while his office is crowded with mothers eager to have their infants adopted, word comes over the telephone that Hardman is very much wanted at home. Discretion is the better part of valor and Hardman gets out the window in preference to explaining things to the excited women. He rids himself of their pursuit by exchanging clothes with a man whom he bribes and continues his way home, picking up a baby carriage as he goes, but he finds that he was too conservative-that more are wanted and his delight are in proportion to the generosity of the stork.
