those we love. Why not mill fortune az
we'll as uisk it for the childf
The greatest fortune any mother can
bestow on her child is q healthy body
and happy mind, and with this great
fortune every mother may endow the
child if she will. The child's stock of
health Is what the mother supplies. The
weak and worried woman has q very
slender stock of health to bestow on
the baby.

does away with the misery of morning
sickness. 1t strengthens the nerves,
gives the body feeling of buoyancy,
makes the mind cheerful, gives vigor
and elasticity to the organs peculiarly

breaks Then she went 20 her dressing
room to get ready. and Merriam sat
there drumming until the half hour
was called
ssThat night there was a good deal
Of Misunderstanding, and the word went
around that there was to be a weddin'
at Christmas.
1.-THE next night. on my way to the
theatre. / noticed a crowd around the
stage door. and heard talk Of runa-
way. l hurried up. and as I did so
Merriam came out, his face as white
as a ghosts.
For Gods sake. get q doctor.
Jenksy he cried.
81 rushed to the nearest drug store,
and, luckily, found one there. When we
got back to the stage door Merriam
was waiting. and, without a word. he
led us to a sofa in the wings on which
Nellie Moore was lying. The doctor
bent down over her for minute. shook
his head and said he was too late.
"An understudy played Juliet that
night and Merriam as usual was the
Romeo. The audience didn't know the
real reason for the change. but In the
tomb scene don't see how they could
help feeling 1t.
"Those OF us who saw 1t from the
wings will never forget 1t. The wom-
en- were In Mysteries and the stage
hands and fymen were nearly as bad.
/ don't know how Merriam ever lived
through it. but this I do know: He
was a different man from that night
He seemed to lose all his ambition and
he withered up SO. that when l met
him at a rehearsal two years later I
hardly knew him. He was bent much
as you see him now, and was playing
character old men. Every year he
dropped down further until they would
MT trust him with anything better
than bits and servants. Yes, sir, that
old man has played Romeo with the
best of them"
The story was finished, but the man.
dolin still tinkled. The leading mans
face was drawn, and jerks sat think
ing. Perhaps the former was thinking
of his own high tide of prosperity, and
of what the future had In store for
him.
But sympathy and curiosity are
closely allied. and soon the two men
were tiptoeing through the passage
way. They paused before the old ac-
tors room. A ray of light filtered
through the crack In the thin pine
door. Merriam was dressed and made
up for a comedy servant. His green
livery coat hung on peg on the wall,
and the red wig with which he covered
his own white hair lay on the dressing
table before him. There, too. was the
faded portrait of pure-faced girl in
the dres of Juliet. The actor was bent
over his mandolin and the leading man
now caught the tune for the first time,
broken. but recognizable.

The call boy came tumbling down tho
passage and the listeners hurried up to
the stage. A few minutes later the
call boy came hurrying up. too, and he
found the stage manager Tuning.
"Where's MerriamY he cried. l

The boy disappeared and reappeared
almost instantly.
