he liked It my mueh. for she went
lurriodly Itfto the pnntry .and brought
bick a eooklc for him.
'The savory Hindi of fried nalinon,
for it wan near lunch time, Increased
Danny's interest in Ills surroundings,
tod his oes were big with wonder
hen Mrs. Frnneis herself came in.
Anil Is this little Daniel I" she cried
rapturonslv. "So sweet; so innocent:
n pure! Did Wg Slstrr carry him all
the ay? Kind His Sister. Does oo
lore nig SlsterV"
m"?0!!?'" Dnnny BPoke up quickly,
"Just like chbekafuts."
"IIojv sweet of him, Isn't It, really?"
fhc said, "with the world all before
him, tho grent untried future lying
vast and prophetic waiting for his
baby feet to enter.- Well has Doctor
Pnrkcr said : 'A llttlo child is a bundle
of possibilities and responsibilities' "
"If ye please, ma'am," I'earllp said,
timidly, not wishing to eontrudlet the
lady, but still nnxious to set her right,
"it was just this blanket I had him
rolled in."
At which Camilla again retired to
the pantry with precipitate hnste.
"Did you ep the blue, blue sky. Dan
icl, and the white, white snow, nnd (lid
jou sec the little Miow-blrds, whirling
by like brown leaves?" Mrn. Tranrls
asked with nn air of great childishness.
"Nope." said Dniiny ehortly, '"didn't
see nothln'."
"PIchfp. ma'am." began I'earllp
again, "It w'as the cloud around his
head on account of the earache that
done It."
"It is sweet to look into his Inno
cent joung pyci and wonder what
visions they will some dni- nee," went
ou Mrs. Krftncls, dreamily, but there
she stopped with a look of horror frozen
on her race, fo nt the mention of ills
ejes Danny reinenibcied his best tilek
and how well It had worked on Camilla,
uud In u flash his ejes were drawn down
nnd his mouth stretched to Its utmost
limit.
"What alls the child?" Mrs. Francis
cried En alarm. "Camilla, come here."
Camilla came out of the pantry and
gazed at Danny with sparkling ees,
while I'carllc. on tho verge of tears,
vainly tried to awaken. -in him some
sense of the shame he was bringing on
her. Camilla hurried to the pantry
again, and brought another -cookie. "I
believe, Mrs. Francis, that Danny is
hungry," she said. "Children some
times act that way," she added, laugh
ing, "Henlly, how ery interesting; I must
see if Doctor Pnrkcr mentions tills
strange phenomenon in his book."
"Plense, ma'am, I think I had better
take him home now," (.aid I'carllc. She
knew whnt Danny was, nnd was afraid
that greater disgrace might nwnlt her,
Ilut when she tried to get him back into
the blanket ho lost every joint In his
body and slipped to tho floor. This Is
what she had feared Danny hud gone
limber. ,
"I don't'want to go home," he walled
dismally. "I want to stay with her, nnd
her; want to sec the yalla hurds, wnnt
n chockalut."
"Come, Danny, that's n man,"
pleaded I'carllc. "nnd I'll tell you nil
about the lovely pink lady when wo go
homo, and I'll get Uugscy's gun for c
nnd I'll " "No." Danny roared.
"tell me-now about the pink lady, tell
her. and her."
"Walt till wc get home. Dnntiv mnn'
Pcnrlle'a grief (lowed afresh. Disgrace
had fallen ou tho Watsons, and I'carllc
knew it.
"It would be interesting to know
what mental food this little mind has
been receiving. Please do tell him the
story, I'carllc."
Thus admonished Pcarlic. with flam
ing checks began the story, She tried to
make it less personal, but at every
change Danny screamed his disapproval.
and held her to the original version, and
when It was done, he looked tip with his
sweet llttlo smile, nnd said to Mra.
Fronds, nodding his head. "You're It I
You're tho lovely pink lady." There
was a strnngo flush on Mrs. h rands 8
face, nnd a strange feeling stirring her
heart, as she hurriedly rose from her
chair nnd clnspcd Danny In her arms.
"Danny I Danny" sho cried, "yoU
shall sco the yellow birds, and the stairs,
nnd the chocolates on tho dresser, and
the pink lady will corao tomorrow with
tho big piirccl." i
Danny's little arms tightened around
her neck.
"It's her," ho shouted. '.'It's her."
When Mrs. Burton Francis went up
to her sitting-room n few bourn later
to get tho "sntchel" powder to put
In tho box that was to be tied with the
store string, the sun was shining on
the face of tho Madonna ou the wall,
and It seemed to smile nt her as she
passed.
The little red book lav on the tnble
forgotten. She tossed It into the wnstc
paper basket.
Tho Old Doctor
CLOSE beside Mrs. Francis's eom
fortnbtc home fltood a other large
house, weather-beaten and dreary look-
Ing, n house whosn dilapidated crandns
nnd broken fence clearly Indicated thnt
Its good dayH had gouo by. Iu tho
summer tlmo vlncn nnd flowers grew
nround It to hide lt senrs and lclicvc
llrt grlmucss, pathetic as bravo wnllc
on a snd face.
Doctor Ilarncr, brilliant, witty mid
skillful, had for many years been a vic
tim of intemperance, but being Scotch
to the backbone, ho never could see how
good, pure "Kilmarnock," made In
Glasgow, could hurt any one. Ho knew
that hla hand shook and hlfl brnlu icelcd
and his eyes wero bleared : but ho never
blamed the whisky. Ho knew that his
patients sometimes died while he was
enjoyiug n protracted drunk, hut, of
course, Occidents will hnppcu, and n
doctor's accidents nro soou buried nud
forgotten. ...
His wife, a frnll though very beauti
ful woman, at first thought nothing of
his drinking habits ho was never ntiy
thing but gentlemanly In her presence.
Ilut the time came when she snw honor
nnd manhood slowly but surely dying iu
him, and on her heart there fell the tcr
rlblo weight of a powerless despair. Her
health had never been robust nnd she
quickly sank into invalidism.
Tho specialist who enmc from Win
nipeg diagnosed her case as chronic
anemia unci prescribed port wine,
which sho 'refused with a queer little
wavering cry nud u sudden rush, of
tears. Ilut she put up u good light,
nevertheless. She wanted to live no
much for tho Bake of Mary, her beau
tiful tlftccn-ycnr-old daughter.
Mrs. IJarucr did not llvo to sco the
whole work of degeneration, for the end
camo in the early spring, swift nnd
sudden and kind.
Mary Darner took up, the burden of
caring for her father without question,
for she loved him with n great and pity
ing love, to which ho responded In his
best momenta. In the winter sho ycnt
with him on his driH night and day.
Oho day, shortly after Mrs. Uar
ncr's death, big John Itobertson from
"the hills" drovo furiously down the
street to tho doctor's house, nnd rushed
Into the office without ringing tho bell.
His little boy hnd been cut with the
mower knives nnd ho implored the doc
tor lo come at once.
Tho doctor sat at his desk, just drunk
enough to be ugly-tempered, nnd curtl
told Mr. Itobcrtsqn to go btrnlght to
perdition, nnd ns the poor man, wild
with excitement, begged him to come and
offered him money, he ynwncd non
chalantly, nnd with some slight varia
tions repented tho injunction.
Mary, hearing the conversation, camo

f The Delaware River Bridge
Philadelphia needs it and Phila
delphia should have it!
All that Aladdin, with his wonder
ful Lamp, needed to do when he
wanted a thing, was to wish for it.
Nowadays, "wishing" gets you no
where. Philadelphians, when they
want a thing, must WORK for it.
For the good of this city let us have
the Delaware River Bridge but we
must all WORK for it!
WITH the development of the
Fuelizer,, the engineers of
the Packard Company have
reached the goal for which motor
car interests all over the world have
been striving for many years.
In short they have achieved per
fect combustion of all grades of gasoline.
To the Packard owner, at least, the
inefficient carburetion of gasoline is no
longer a source of worry and expense.
Quick starting with a temperature
of 11 above Zero, the Packard engine
equipped with Fuelizer responds per
fecdy to the throtde in 10 seconds.
About 20 seconds after starting the
engine may be operated perfectly on
a normal mixture no need of choking
motor.
Tests made at 5 below Zero show
that the engine is able to pull on high
gear almost immediately.
Freedom from carbon not one single
caseof foul spark plugs or valves, com
bustion chamber walls or piston rings,
developed in the months of testing
after the perfection of the Fuelizer.
Complete combustion of fuel is shown
by the absence of oil dilution in the
crank case. The Fuelizer does away
with this main cause of wear on engine
bearings and scoring of cylinder walls.
It does away with sticky valve guides
and valve stems.
Freedom from smoking was demon
strated by the clean exhaust, due pri
marily to the fact that the Fuelizer
works at the maximum when engine
is starting and idling.
now Standard
Packard Car
The Fuelizasis about the simplest
invention anybody ever saw to mean
so much.
It consists essentially of a pipe, a
chamber and a spark plug. It weighs
less than two pounds
It is automatically regulated by the
varying degree of suction exerted by
the engine as the throttle is opened
or closed. Not a moving part not
an adjustment anywhere.
A Packard feature. Exclusively
Packard.
In every way an achievement that
must strengthen the appeal of the
Packard Car to the practical-minded
man who is looking for passenger
transportation on the basis of per
formance, economy and value
