ing^Sthers "A Merry Christmas."
Now and again the wind blew loudly,
but not shrilly nor harshly nor
with a wailing sound. The wind, too,
aeemed to be quivering with happiness.
All of nature had joined together
to be as beautiful, as radiant,
(. irr honor of the day as possible,
ft The hills were covered with snow.
9k The branches of the trees were laden
B with it Icicles hung from eaves and
9 from corners of houses, and windows

The shrubs, too, were covered with
HL snow. It looked more like Fairyland

In the house they were waiting, waitBt
ing, waiting.
MR How tense and long seemed the wait.
P* How nervnns how frightful, and yet
how marvelous?if all went well.
But just suppose everything didn't
jgf. -t fo well? Suppose anything happened?
! Bay Clarke paced -up and down the
floor and wondered how he could have
. been so happy?so free from nervousu
ness for so long a time.
He hated the great beauty of the
I outside world. When he heard people
^ wishing each other "Merry Christmas"
he almost hated their smiles and their
cheerful voices. How
deeply he loved Lillian. She
was worth all the Christmas presents
In the world! Of course. There were
no two ways about that.
And the doctor had said with such
If a aenial. merry twinkle in his eyes:
I "Well, J fancy the young son and
t heir will be a Christmas present from
I the missus to you!"
He had laughed at the time, and
g Lillian had blushed and smiled and
laughed, too. The doctor was such
| a friendly old soul?he had been the
- doctor when Lillian had been born.
1H And he was fine, too.
| * But perhaps he counted too much on
Lillian's strength. Ray had been sent
l out of the room and he had been alone
here now for so long.
At first he had been so full of high
r; spirits. But the 4elay bad been so
strange. They hadn't told him there
would be any such delay. They had
simply sent him out of the room and
had said tl^at everything was all right,
I I and that they'd come and tell him
. soon to be back to see his child.

' doctor was at the top of the stairs.
"Wait a moment; not so fast; not so

to tell you."
"Couldn't you have let me come to
her? Did you have to wait until it
Mg was all over to come and tell me?"
Ray said in a husky voice.
J "She wanted it to be that way,"
the doctor said. Still he was smiling.
How could he smile at such a time?

\ IE was a young
# bride. Every
present she
Iiad received
was very welK
come. She had
Sfc?>T X.6 depended on
VJ presents to
r5?Lrf (l!) furnish her
)&\ new home.
f^.TyP When she had
received a u plicate
which were not initialed she
hastened to the place from which the?
had been purchased and picked out
other articles of beauty and of household
necessity.
Her friends had really keen remarkably
kind. She had been surprised
to find how ready the shops had been
about taking back g|fts and substituting
with others, or in engraving pres
ents which had not already been engraved.
Only one had charged for
engraving?the gift had been purchased
at "wholesale rate" and so engraving
was not included.
Altogether from the point of view
of presents as well as from the point
of -view of a mate she had done remarkably
well. This would enable
them to make a very good appearance
in their home without having to draw
from the none too plentiful savings.
She viewed everything over again
one evening, presents and those which
.were exchanges. There was just one
thing among them that was not nec
essary and not particularly pretty. It
was a gravy-dish. She knew of no
particular use to which she could put
it?she had one of the kind she really
liked.
She could not exchange it. It had.
a monogram in the center.
"I know what I'll do with it," she
said to her husband. 'Til give it to
Molly Stevens for a Christmas present.
She has been so good to us and
I'd like to show her how much I
appreciate it.
"You know she is going to get married
in the spring?that is?her engagement
is all but announced.
"Don't you think it would be a good
idea? She was so helpful about my
wedding and she has fold me, quite
confidentially, that the wedding will
be in the spring.
"It would be a good Idea to give her
"I'll Give It to Molly Stevens for a
Christmas Present."
something for Christmas that she
could have for her new home.
"We really can't afford to buy
another thing just now and that wiil
do beautifully."
"But the monogram?" her husoana
inquired.
"Oh. that can be taken off you
know, and another one put there in
its 'place. I heard some one ordering
that to be done in one of the silver
shops the other day."
"Yes, that's a splendid idea," her
husband heartily agreed.
"I'll go down-town and attend to it
tomorrow. I haven't much time.
Christmas is almost here."
"Our first Christmas," said the ,
young husband as he clasped his
bride to him. i
"Our first Christmas," she mur- i
mured.
The next evening he asked her if
she had arranged about sending the
gravy dish to Molly Stevens.
"I couldn't send it," she said.
"Why not?" he queried.
"Because of the monogram in the
center," she said.
"But you told me that that could
be erased by the silversmiths and a
new monogram placed there" her
husband persisted.
"I know I did," the young bride
answered, "but you see they told me .
today at the shop that it would be
possible to do it were it not for the
fact that it had been done so often to
this gravy dish that they wouldn't
dare take a chance with it again.
They'd not be able to avoid boring a
hole this time! It has been given
away once too often for me to put to
any use," she sighed sndlv.
"And I shall just send Molly a
Christmas card. After all she did no
more than any one else!"

Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three
Years, Suffering Pain, Nerrous

Own Story of Recovery.
Paint Rock, Ala.?Mrs, C. M. StegaD,
of near here, recently related the following
interesting account of her recovery:
"I was in a weakened condition.
I was sick three years in bed.
suffering a great deal of pain, weak,
nervous, depressed, I was so weak,
I couldn't walk across the floor; just
had to lay and my little ones do the
work. I was almost dead. I tried

doctors. Still I didn't get &ny relief.
I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I
believe if I hadn't heard of and taken
Cardui I would have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
"I began to eat and sleep, began to
gain my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven't had any trouble
since ... I sure can testify to the
good that Cardui did me. I don't
think there is a better tonic made
and I believe it saved my life."
For over 40 years, thousands of women
have used Cardui successfully,
in the treatment of many womanly
ailments.
