I was so nervous at night that I seldom slept more than an hour at a time. Constipation and headaches gave me lots of trouble and rheumatic pains were so bad that I just about gave up hope of ever be ing well. Since taking Sargon, my stomach doesn’t give me the slightest trouble, I’m not nervous either, and am so much more active and energetic my frknds hardly know me.

I knew you’d not be singing that if some one else had claimed you.” Just then the buzzer brought them back to earth and Judith arranged her tumbled locks as she went to an.«wer the ring. There .stood the little old jiarson who had Just left the house a j few hours before. “Have you forgotten something?*’ asked Judith. “No, I believe not; I’ve my book and the promise of two witnesses who will be along in a minute,” Parson Henderson assured her. “Witnesses?” she asked. “Yes, dear,” Ralph answered, for he ' had follovred her Into the hall. “I took a lot for granted, phoned the jiarson, and now we can be married on Christmas eve, Just as we had j.lannrd to do, when Paul refused to go back to Canada ^vlth us.” True to their word, a few moments later the parson’s sister and her j daughter Joined the little group at j the Ross home. Underneath the same"! wedding bell, before the same flower- banked altar in the library. In' the shadows cast by the same flickering tapers that had furnished the setting for her brother’s wedding, Judith promised to “love and cherl.sh” Ralph. There had been oceans of food leR over from Paul’s wedding feast and the little bride, Judith, herself, set out the remaining salad, cold pressed chicken and the other goodies. “Just a pot-luck wedding dinner, folks,” she proclaimed. Her eyes grew starry as Ralph re torted: “It might be a pot-luck din ner but It’s not a pot-luck Christmas eve, for It is the happiest Christmas eve In my whole life, folks.” As he made the statement he slipped a most | generous fee Into the parson’s hand, ‘ making It the happiest Christmas eve for the parson, too. Jadith had no ticed his movement, so she followed by slipping to the two women folks two tiny jsde ]^ns which she had purchased sometime ago to give as presents, but hadn’t found a place for them before. “After all,” thought Ju dith, “Chiistmaa Is aynonymous with love, and lore is a synonym for Christmas.” itt, tSM.
