Tho Ludlcrous Bluudcr ut an Australian

1t is not often that q nonentity is
mistaken for nobility for several
days. Yet that is what happened quite
recently in q small watering place in
Upper Australia All of a sudden the
tom was convulscd with the delight
full intelligence that Girardi, the IA
nous Vienncsc comedian, was in its
midst A charity concert was in prog
ress of organization and forthwith q
dcputation waited on the great man to
solicit his assistance. 1t was gracious
ly accorded and the deputies withdrew
in high feather, one of them rcmarls-
ing how strange it was that an actor
should have SO fine beard. "Why,
don't YOU KNOW" replied an omniscicnt
colleague, that actors always let their
boards grow in the holidays?" On the
cvcntful night the concert room was
packed to snifocation and q vigorous
round OF applause greeted the appear
ance of the famous actor. What fol-
lowed may best be described in the
words of the Vienna News: Instead
of the cHcruciatingly funny song cx-
pectcd by the public Herr Girardi Ic-
gan sentimental ditty in a hoarse
tone of voice. This rather nstonishcd
the audience at first, but they rapidly
came to the conclusion that it must be
frst-ratc imitation of some opera
singer. The object of tho miraicry
they did not know, but they roarcd
with laughter ali the same. Girardi
was encorcd and sang u romantic ltal-
Ian aria, and once more the audiences
were convulscd at the sublcty of tho
imitation. Next morning it happened
that the official vi ;itor.i' list was pub
lished. from pHrujal of which it ap-
peared that, barring Il certain Samuel
Girardi, described as the merchant"
nobody of that name was stopping in

had done before. But it was not
till Christmas day that he stood once
more firmly on his feet and sat down
to dinner a we'll man.
Mr.. Stokes was away tending a sick
friend, SO that Travers had to take the
head of the table.
You will have to carve" said
Martha, as the Christmas turkey came
in, brown and beautiful under the
crown of holly.
"Oh. mercy. cruel maidw cried
Travers in dismay.
1T isn't as bad as chopping off
| heads" said Martha. encouragipgly.
You can't kill yourself"
But l don't know howl pleaded
poor Travers.
Neither do !. And mother can't,
you know, with rheumatism in her
hands. Never mind. Chop it up,
somehow. 1t will taste just as we'll"
Travers saw he was in for it, and
rose to the occasion, but not without
fear. The turkey was a splendid big one,
but he had not the least idea how to
get at it. 1t was easy enough shaving
slices off the breast, but the joints
worked him up into a fever. He did
not know where to tind them.
1.-THE anatomy of this fowl strikes
me as being somewhat remarkable"
he said. looking savagely at refrac-
tory drumstick which seemed to be fur
nished with a steel hinge.
Thee will find the joint further
down, Friend Travers,' said Mrs.
Stokes, gently. Don't hurry; take
thy time to it,
"Oh, yes" said Travers, hopefully.
Here it is.
At the same time he made a wild
turkey slipped on the greasy plate,
and, with remarka bic vitality. jumped
completely off the table on to the floor.
Travers dropped his knife and fork,
and sank into a chair, full of NORTH
cation and rage.
Il think I'd better letturkeys alone"
he said grimly. I'm sorry, Miss Mar
tina. but didn't mean to do it."
Never mind" she said, picking up
the degraded fowl and hurrying it
back to the kitchen. You have cut
off enough for us on the plate Mother
and / both prefer white meat. Shall
l help you to cranbe rries, Mr.. Travers?"
Poor Travers had a sense of keen
discontinue. What fool Martha must
think him. a man fit for nothing but
painting poor daubs that wouldn't sell
at half price
He chafed against his own shor t COM
ings, and when Martha came into the
sItting-room after dinner. she found
him standing by the open fire, looking
thoroughly uncomfortable
81 am afraid you are having a very
dull Christmas" she said, coming up
beside him II am sorry we haven't II

merry"

indeed, because it was SO unnecessary;
and when Travers finally captured his
prey, Martha had completely lost her
composure.
What are you going to do now?" she
asked, as he gave the gobbler q shake.
II don't know any torture too great
"After all the trouble he has caused
alive!
"And serve him with . garnish of
burned feathers. DO you think you
would really enjoy your revenge?"
'Oh, shall do exactly as you told
me-" said Travers. taking up the AK.
II shall not allow myself the least in
diligence of my inclinations-"
1t was some time before he got the
turkeys head on the block properly.
DO hurry up!'' cried Martha, shut
| ting her eyes. You make me nervous"
Almost at the same moment there
was dull thud. as Travers brought
the AK down vigorously; but at the
critical moment the turkey gave fran
tic flop, Travers let 90, as usual, and
the lucky fowl escaped from under the
ak, to fly screaming over the fence.
| Martha opened her eyes, and saw n

| Travers was down ON one knee, holding
his foot
oh she cried. flying to him, you
have cut your foot! am so sorry! Is
it badly hurt?''
"Yes-Im afraid-it's pretty nearly
cut off," said Travers
He was growing very white, for the
blood poured over everything, and in 4
moment more he fell over quite uncon-
scious.
Martha was badly frightened. but
she knew what to do, and did it..
Quick as fash, she made of her apron
a ligature for the wounded leg, while
her shr;ll cry for help brought her
father and the hired man quickly to the
scene.
Travcrs had indeed almost severed
his foot in twain, but the surgeon who
was summoned promised to save the
member if the patient would follow
his direction.
''Of course he will do THAR. said
Martha, briskly. I'm see to it. |

have to do as l say. There will be no
sketching now till after Christmas.
"lIe ought to mind you," said the
doctor. You saved his life" He
would have bled to death in q very few
minutes"
Il am afraid can't cleim obedience
on that score" said Martha, regret
fully. ''If it hadn't been for me, it
wouldn't have happened in the first
place
Travers smiled languidly. and whis-

And so do l." said the doctor,
promptly: II always said, Martha,

l should rather enjoy a months living
on your cookery.

put his foot down. he had lost his
pallor and was looking better than he

Medical Discovery works the best.
1t purifies the blood.
It's not like the sarsaparillas,
which claim to do good in March,
April, and May; you can depend
upon it al,cays. That's why it is
guaranteed. If it doesn't benefit or
cure, in every case for which it's
recommended, you have your money
back.
No other medicine of its kind
says as much -but no other does
as much. 1t clcanses, renews and
invigorates the entire system. For
all skin, scalp and scrofulous affec-
tions, as Eczema, letter, Salt-rheum,

cure.

white fingers among the Gran berries
