It happened some months ago at the Head of Lake Wanaka. The father was from home, and the mother was alone with her little children. One accidently got hold of a bottle containing poison, and drank some. It can readily be imagined the state of the poor mother's mind when she discovered what had happened. She gave the child mustard as an emetic, and then hurriedly put the other children to bed. Thinking she might lose her little one, the mother started on foot with the child in her arms for Pembroke —a distance of some 30 miles —through rough and rugged country. She had to traverse through dangerous gullies, bush, and fern, and cross a river several times. The night was dark, and after going 16 miles she fortunately struck the' house of a settler, who drove her to Pembroke. Medical aid was summoned, but thfl little one 1 had by thafi time almost recovered. Truly, a mother's love is great.
