A ft-w small Jead leaves came rustling down Happy Court ; the wind had blown tLeai o!T the iop'.ar tree in the corner !y the pump. i; jbhie counted them, for he stood at the window of the shabbiest house in the court with his nose flattened against the window pane. "One, two, three, four, five.'" he said, counting thedad leaves. I'reseritlv lie put bis hand in his pock et, aa l began jingling the pennies there. "one, to, three, four," he said, oh, dear, bat there ought to be five. For a In-wiper costs live, and the old lady wcu't take any less '." The boose opposite had a tall green bar-h showing at the window, and the three liitie Smiths were danrinj around it, n.H king faces, and beckoning across to r.obbie, -No, I won't," said B ibbie, as though they could hear hi in. "I ain't going to come over. I'm going to stay bene till r-istcr Mary comes." Jut then a tall girl turned the corner of the street and came merrily op the cjurt. She bad hair as yellow as Bob bie's, and the same eyes of startled brown. IJ.ibbie rushed down the rickety stairs and ojened the door for her. I'.d you seethe butcher man, round tic corner, and the little pis with the holly in hVir tnmiths? And the candy store with pink and whit Krit Krionles, ant trie grocery " "Yes yes, B-ibbie." she s-id, patting b;s -a,;"r head ; "now let me sit down a while and rest myself, and then I will tell you of ail the tine sights I've seen to day." So Bobbie pulled out the big chair by the window, and ran to bang up her hat and coat. .Staying in the lonesome house alt day long by himself, had made him as tidy and thoughtful as a girl. Then Mary sat down in the chair with l'.jbbie at her feet, and told him of all the wonderful things in the op-town shop windows. Bobbie's eyes grew like stars ; he sigh ed softly to himself, and in bis excite ment pulled out the pennies from his pocket, and began counting them over once more. It was a poor little room ; the carpet was so patched that it looked like a coat of many colors, and the curtains w ere threadbare. The paper on the wall that had once been full of jay-colored boughs and blossoius, now showed only a few sickly leaves sprawling against a dingy white. But the rosy little fire flickered and fluttered, and the eun failing in a patch upon the floor brought the poplar shad ows with it; and Bobbie's yellow hair and Mary's together, made warmth and colvr for w hat would else have been a dull picture. So Mary came to the end of the sights she had seen, and Bobbie asked : 'Is that all ? It's most like the Trince, ain't it, Mary T' "A little," said Mary, smiling to her self, for she knew wh8t as coming next. "Once there was a Prince," began Bob bie ; "was it a very long time ago, Mary T He always asked this question here, and Mary always gave him the same an swer, and sighed : "A long time ago, Bobbie." "And he was tall and handsome and your.g, and he dearly loved the Trin ces " "And he was going to marry her," said Mary, "and give her everything she wanted, and then " "And then he went away," interrupt ed l'. jbbie, "and never came back any more." -Though as long as she lived, the Frin cess thought he would, and waited for him," said Mary. Bobbie a! ways looked solemn when they csme to this part of the story. In some inexplicable way he thought he could remember the Princess, and that he had known her. And had not her eyes been brown like Mary's?" "1 leel sorry for the Princess he said. Then Mary kissed hitn? He juigled his pennies once more. "Do yoa think pen-wipers are nice Ma-7 7" "Very nice," said his sisler; "and those lit le red and black ones around the cor ner are ja-t beautiful." "Aren't they?' cried the delighted Bobl ie. "To little black blocks and one little red one. Oil, Mary, but they re five cents, and I have only got four." She held out the covtrteJ pennv. "I think Katie Smith might like one for a Caristuias gift." "0.1, no, no. no!" slion'o.! r-,kk; bit! JUUH , it is not fur Katie Smith ; it is Tfcen he pat both hands over his fool ish little mouth and chuckled noftlr. "You'd better go away, or you might tell me secrei," laugheJ Mary. And libhi, chuckling harder than ver, ran out into the street. The l.f.ie old lady who kept the little old fchop where he had spied the pen wipers, was very busy that afternoon. The tiny p'.a,-e wa foil of old-fhioned people who were buying her scarlet niit t ns, or Ler dainty ta-!ed hoods and jackets, or, even the glus-eyed canton flannel elephants that stood iu her win dows and e-ared tut at the naught? world. Bobbie slipped ;bto corner, a war from the crowd of bustling peopj,, looked on. Presently the door bell tinkled, anj another customer came in. He was a tall man with a very browo face, and he wore a very shaggy coat that fell down o his heels. He stood there at the door and scanned the faces of the bnyers, one .y one. Then he caught sight of Ib fcie's eyes, and emilrd down at him. Tm looking for oaie4jy," Le said, 'but I can't nd her after all," Sow the guile died out of hia face and a sad look came instead. A queer idea was in Bobbie's head. He looked op at the ehagjy maa and sai i, wistfully : "Are yoa the princ7 Are yoa look ing for the princess ? Did yoa go away, and never come sack any more, till now?" "Who told yoa H that?" asked the a'lMitv "nan M . ' B -;; ''T' r Ouoe mere pr uo? au i lie loved the princess ; but he went away and never came back any more." "Ttiit a i I "rTt id the sha.'gy mo 4 It's gol enough for Happy CVurt," said Bobbie; and oh, bat that was a wise thing for him to say - "Ther's i.oly Mary and me," he be gin, nt ju-t tht-u the old lad) called.. "And what can I do I. you, air?" and be went forward to buy Lis little pen wiper. He locked very important as he trotted out into the street, with his precious present tied op carefully in pink blot ting paper. He opened a corner of the tiny package, and let the man w ho bad followed him t ke a teepat it. "It's for my sister. Ain't it beautiful for only five cents?" "Very," said the man gravely. "Will she use it often does she write a gTeat deal!" "Well, no," said Bobbie, looking a shadow less happy, "but," and his face lit op again "she used to, w hen we didn't live In Happy Court; letter and letters, and they went out to a big ship in the water way off over the water." Now they had reached the corner of Happy Court "Good-bye," said Bobbie blithely But the shaggy man caught him fast by the arm. I "Little boy," he said "haven't I seen yoa somewhere before? Now tell me true." "So, you haven't," said Bobbie prompt ly ; "and I never saw yon either." 'Well," said the shaggy man, "I guess I am a fool. Merry Christmas, laddie! Down the Court through the windy yellow light and the falling dead leaves, ran Bobbie as fast as he could. But the man followed him. He followed him op the rickety stairs and to the very door of the shabby llttie room. . ' Ob, Mary." cried Bobbie, "it t just beautiful!" Mary 'a bead jame out of the darkness by the cupboard door. "Well, Bobbie," she began bnt there she stopped and stood still as a stone. "And the prince came back gain," said the shaggy man from the doorway. Then something wonderful happened. Bobbie saw it with hisowr two beauti ful eyes. The shaggy man -o Mary ip his arms, and she put her bead down on his shoulder and cried as Bobbie ha 1 never heard her cry before. And the ehatzgy man kisrd her, and kept on kissing her, and be 'old the Strang' e. story to Bobbie and her. It was a:l about a ship, and a storm and an island all alone in the sea. It was about letters unanswered, and a long spell of sickness and weary months of seeking. It was all about the prince who came back once more to the beauti ful, faithful princess. "So they married and were happv ever after." 6. Louis Believed in Fair Play. "I was new in the business and as ambitious as C-ar. I would tackle anything, and, tike most lawyers in the early stages, I bad do trouble in convincing mvself that my client was right and the other fellow a rascal. An old granger in the city in which I first swung my shingle to the breeze was always in trouble with his neighbors, and was a rich mark for lawyers. I Ie gathered in some cattle that had broken tinto the highway from the field of a farmer near bylxtabled them, and refused to give them op unless paid au exorbitant price for damages that were never committed. A writ of replevin was issued. I took the case for thelowner of the cattle, and early one morning drove out to the office of an old rierman If'juire, or justice of the peace. His temple of justice was an old rattletrap of a building w ith no ceiling bat stringers across where the clapboards terminated and the peaked roof ben. The occup ants of these stringers kept all below busily dodging tobacco juice. The jury was made up of a lot of old sail-tillers whose faces.were as sphynx-like as that .f a professional gambler. I lis honor occupied a very uncertain chair that had earned an honorable retirement, and kept his owl-like w isdom in activity by constantly whittling on a hardwood broomstick. Pitted against me were two old lawyers and it was their pleasure to constantly utilize my youthful ness in im paring my standing with the jury. I was full of fight, but what almost drove me from the shanty was the fact that the squire ruled dead against me every time. I argued, pleaded, read authorities, but the w hit tling representative of the blind goddess never turned a hair. II woald simply say : 'Pon't get excited, young man. I vos der shndge. Yost go ahead mid der case. S host ice is shastice, und don't yoa forged t it The two old attorneys were not slow to citch on, and they tok the wildest iberities, disregarding everything and and chuckling at every objection I made. I was on the verge of insanity, and my client looked like a thunder cloud ram pact Dinner time came and the squire had a spread for jurors, lawyers, and liti gants. My opponents were in high feath er, w hile my food nearly choked me. "After eating I handed the squire a cizar, and we walk-d out into the orchard where I opbraided him for the course he had pursued. " Young man,' he aald, rot U der reason mit yoa ? I know vot vos law and yustioe, and equity. Gif efery man der same chance. In der forenoon I let dose two old lawyers have der vhay. Now it vas your darn. Gj in. I pelieve in fair blay I don't gare how much dose fellers object, it's your dura.' "Did I go in? I claimed everything and conceded nothing. I rode roughshod over the rules of testimony and the old lawyer. I bad them wild, pawing the air and frothing at the mouth. The squire was deaf to t heir appeals and blind to their agony. 'I gif you half a day apiece,' w as his sole justification. I w on in a walk. The other side wanted to appeal, but their client was so mad that two old-timers should be si ignominioosly beaten by a young lawyer that he settled then and there, hired me by tie year and gave me my first good start." hrtrJt Fri r Pr: .

These famous brands of absolutely pure w hisky are now known and sold everywhere from tbe Atlantic to tbe Pacitic slope. Every day swells tbe long list of customers. Why? Because the wbikkiea named stand solely on their merits. Leading physicians all over the land indorse and prescribe them pretty conclusive evidence that the goods are just as represented tbe purest and best obtainable. A poor whisky is never cheap, but always injurious. You take no chances in ordering "Silver Age" or ' Du.juesue," which sell respectively at $1.50 and $1.25 per full quart. Packages expressed anywhere. Max Kleis, No. How Helen saw Santa Glaus. In tbe dining-room was a register which opened and shut like a door, and when it was open it made the best kind of a place for Santa Claus to come through. Right betide it Helen's small stocking was bung on Cbrismas Eve, and, for fear it might not bold all Santa would brinir, it was put over a chair. When the long night was at last end ed, Helen's delight was unbounded, and as she found the presents, she woold g to the register and say: "Tank, tank, Santa Claus!" A few days afterward a plummer was called in to repair the pipe leading to this same regi-ter, and just as be was drawing himself out of tbe opening Helen co ne into the room. The man was large and gaod natured, with a long gray beard. He smiled at sight of tbe litle two-year-old, who look ed at him douMfuliy for a moment, with her bands clasped behind her. His smile re-a'sured her, and. pun op to him sh, aaid: "Is va dot sny dolt bab;-s in your po'ei ?" With a kind reply tbe man 'o k his departure, and to this day little Helen is-urethat she has seen and talked with old Santa Claus bimwslf otif.'s I have leen troubled with chronic catarrh for years. Elv'a Cream Balm is the only remedy among the many that j i nave usa that affords me relief. E. W. WiHard, Druprist, Jolliett, III.
