My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day. Three phy- sicians had given me up. Fortunately a friend advised trying ‘Electric Bitters ; and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life and robbed the grave of another vietim.”” No one should fail to try them. Only 50cts. per bottle at I. Potts Green’s drug store. Hudson Bay is Disappearing.

When Marjorie Remembered. ma’am,’’ she called up to the eager face at the window. ‘‘Mother, mother,’”’ they all chorused, ‘the Queer Lady wants us to go over there an’ see her—she called us out o’ the win- der, honest she did! She wants to ask us ‘somethin.’ ”’ **Yes,”” Ann Sophy recapitulated with slow emphasis, ‘‘honest.”’ “Well, of all things!’ ejaculated Murs. Cooper in amazement, “I declare! Well, I ’spose you’ll go. She’s harmless and they say she has to be humored. But you’ve got to clean up. Ann Sophy, you ! scrub the baby's face. Nip, you braid Tucky’s hair over again—smooth, mind you, aud you may tie her best ribbon on. Hurry.” After agood deal of hurrying and smooth- ing down and washing up, the small Coop- ers went, in a solemn little procession, to the Queer Lady’s. She was waiting at the front door. “*Come right in,’’ she said eagerly, ‘‘and you’d hetter take off your things.”’ “Oh, no’m,”” Ann Sophy cried hurried- ly. ““Wecouldn’t. We only had time to clean up outside—keep vour mittens on.”’ she whispered in a shrill aside to Nip and Tuck. Mrs. Graham pointed to chairs, but Ann | Sophy arranged them in a straight line, side by side, before they sat down. Then she seated them gravely. according to sizes, herself at the head and the baby at the foot. They sat up primly and folded all their gay little mittens on their little shab- by laps. The baby’s stout, abbreviated legs stretched straight out before him, and barely reached the chair’s edge. ‘‘Now, ma'am?’’ Ann Sophy said, ex- pectantly, taking a last sidewise view of her line of parade. ‘What do you want for Christmas?" asked the Queer Lady. The question was so abrupt, so unex- pected, that a row of little gasps broke forth unmuffled. Ann Sephy swallowed hard. ‘‘Ma’am?”’ ‘‘What would you like best? Tell me all the things,”” the Queer Lady’s sweet vaice hurried on earnestly. She was too absorbed in her own thoughts to see how surprised and how wistful the little faces all were. She hardly noticed them at all. She was waiting, pencil and tablet in hand, for Ann Sophy’s reply. ‘‘First—what?”’ she urged. ‘‘I want to make a list.”’ ‘‘Oh—oh!”’ Arn Sophy was too bewild- ered to consider clearly. Her eyes sought her red mittens in her lap, and then, in a flash, she remembered the fervent ambition of her narrow little life. ‘‘Oh, a pair o’ kid gloves,”” she eried, ‘‘with plenty o’ buttons! An’ a book with pictures of cows an’ trees an’ country in it—an' a music box—an’ side combs, an’—'’ her tongue was loosened. She poured out her cherish- ed dreams in a little turbulent flood of elo- quence. The Queer Lady’s pencil could hardly keep up with it. Then the others had their turn. Ann Sophy bad given them courage and they stayed not upon the order of their saying, but said it all, with shrill enthusiasm. Even the baby expressed his wishes fluently, if not clearly. On their way home the little Coopers talked it all over. ‘‘She’s a goin’ to give us a Christmas!” shouted Nip in an ecstasy of delight. ‘‘She’s a.goin’ to!”’ echoed Tuck. ‘‘Hush, she’ll hear you!” Ann Sophy cautioned them, but her staid little face was quietly radiant. She was almost ready to believe it herself. “I don’t know—it looks kind of so,” she said, wistfully. ‘‘Huh, course it’s so. What's she want us all to choose things for, then?’ said Nip scornfally. **Yes, what'd she want us to for?"’ “Well, I don’t know—it kind of looks 80, honest,’”’ repeated Ann Sophy slowly. ‘‘Hoor-ray! An’ we warn’t goin’ to have any Christmas before---not a single thing, Ann Sophy Cooper, ’cause the coal bin’s most empty!’ ‘‘No, we warn’t---not .a single, Ann Sophy Cooper!’ *‘Hoor-ray!"’ ‘‘Hoor-ray!”’ “I can’t help it---it looks kind of so,” murmured Ann Sophy’s wistful voice again. The Queer Lady, left alone, was looking over her list. It was not altogether satis- factory. She was a little disappointed. Some of the things were so queer. If she could only remember---did children really want such things as those? “Well,” she said, folding the list care- fully, “I'll get all these things, anyway, | again. i and the kind-hearted doctor hemmed and SECHLER & CO., Bush House, Bellefonte, Pa. and perhaps they’ll suggest others that aren’t so queer.”’ The few intervening days went past on swift wings. Marjorie Graham was very , busy and happy. The children would come home on Christmas eve, just in time to hang up their stockings. And, mean- | time, there was so much to do---so many beautiful things to see to! Two days before Christmas Marshall Graham came home unusually early in the afternoon. Twilight was just beginning to fold in the merry Christmas world. He hurried up the steps. Roxy let him in. ‘Where is Mar—where ham?’’ he asked anxiously. The girl’s pleasant, buxom face quiv- ered suddenly. She pointed toward the parlor door. “‘In there’’ she said huskily. Then she sank down on the stairs and broke into hushed sobbing, swaying back and forth and rocking her arms. ‘‘She’s fixing the—the—it,’’ she sobbed "under her breath. The little man braced himself as for a | blow, and went into the parlor. Marjorie ‘came to meet him with a laugh of triumph. ‘See, dear boy!” she cried, ‘‘isn’t it lovely? It’s all ready but lighting the can- idles. Icouldn’t wait till Christmas to fix it. You see, I can keep the parlor door locked—the children won’t know, and I | can keep coming in to admire it. No, i come over this side—there! that’s the best | view of it. Now, you dear boy, say it’s ' the loveliest tree you ever saw—say it! Begin, ‘it’s the loveliest—’ She was reaching in and out amoung the ladened branches re-adjusting and re-loop- him. ‘‘Say it, dear boy, why don’t you be- gin?’ she cried gayly. And the little man drew a long, sobbing breath and said it as well as he could. It satisfied her. She was too preoccupied to think his voice was stilted and strained. , ““Thos€ little Cooper children helped quite a lot, I called them in. You can’t think what funny little things they were! There, it’s quite, quite done. And over here, see, on this sofa, are the stock- ing things. Four piles—this little soft one’s Peck o’ Mischief’s!”’ The tears were running helplessly down the little man’s face, but she did not see them. He kept his head turned away. Four piles of toys were ranged in a prim row and four lit- tle black stockings lay beside them, their limp lengths dangling over the sofa’s edge. Outside in the hall Roxy locked her arms and cried tears of honest love. That even- ing Marshall Graham called on Dr. Sperry He told the whole sad little story, coughed and polished and repolished his spectacles. ‘‘My dear sir,’’ he began, then coughed and tried again. ‘‘My dear sir, you must wait Wait and the Lord help you, I tell you there’s nothing else to do; she must waken of herself. Shock? Man alive, could she waken without a shock? But it will be mercifully easier if it comes as naturally as possible. I tell you it will be the difference between life and death to her. You say she talks of not remember- ing? Just so. TI believe she is going to remember by and by. And it will come upon her gently. I believe it. Youn must wait.”’ ‘‘But Christmas, doctor?’’ “I know—I know. It will have to come. But wait, wait. The waking up may come, too. If not in time, you must ex- plain, prevaricate, anything to satisfy her.” And so, with his heavy heart, the little man went home. In the middle of the night he woke up in unexplainable terror, to see Marjorie coming in at the door with a lighted lamp in her hand. She had on a pale blue wrap and in the dim light she looked too pale and frail to be embodied. He sat up in bed and held out his hands. ‘‘Marj, Marj,” he called. And then as she came nearer he saw her face plainly. “Oh, Marj!” For he saw that she had remembered. He read it instantly in her face, in her sad, quiet eyes. There was no restlessness in them at all. She came up quite close be- fore she spoke. The hand that held the lamp did not tremble. It was quite firm when she set the light down beside him. “I went down to look at the tree, dear boy,’ she said steadily, ‘and all at once I remembered. Tne children are dead. They | are not coming home to Christmas. With a sudden ery she threw herself be- side him on the floor, with her face in his arms, and cried the terrible, beautiful, life- saving tears he had longed for, An hour —two hours-—they never knew how long they lasted. It may have been but a short time. It seemed a long, long time to the little man. The first faint light of morning was creeping in to them when Marjorie lifted her face. It was swollen and stained with the blessed tears, but it smiled at him A AAA A SSeS is Mrs. Gra- | "ing. Her eager eyes shone like candles to! EEEEEEE EEEEEEE EE EE EEEE EEEE EE EE EEEEEEE EEEEEEE bravely. “Dear hoy—I am glad I remem- bered for yoursake,”” she said gently. ‘‘And—and we have each other, dear hoy.” Christmas morning ushered in the most wonderful, the most glorious day in all the short lives of the little Cooper children. Their wildest hopes were realized, and though Nip said, *‘I told you so’’ in glee- ful triumph, for once Tuck failed to echo her. “You never!’ she cried in scorn, ‘‘you never told meso, Nip Cooper. You couldn’t have told it all if you’d been tellin’ me so ever since!’’ In the early evening, justat early Christ- mas tree candle light—for Marjorie would have it so—all the little Coopers formed in awed procession and crunched through the new snow to the Queer Lady’s. And the Queer Lady met them at the door and led them into Enchanted Land. She was smiling down at them. Afterward Nip confided to Tuck that that smile looked just as if she was crying. “But she didn’t look ‘queer’ a bit—not even kind of so,” said Ann Sophy soltly.
