row to see her cprls in their satin-lined
box; then if you will be here you can
find out who she is," answered the
jeweler.
Sure enough, Annie came to see her
curls as they looked ready for sale; she
wanted to see the box. While she was
admiring it and telling about Teddy,
and how the wine was doing him good,
the stranger with the gentle eyes ar
rived He talked to the little girl for
awhile, then surprised the jeweler and
little Annie by bursting into tears.
They've told you about Uncle Luke,
haven't they?" he asked.
"Oh, yes, often" replied Annie. "He
is in Australia, where the bark falls off
the trees and the leaves stay ION, and
where the birds have no wings, and ev-
erything is so queer!"
"But what if he came home?"
"Oh, he WON'T she said; mother
has lost him completely"
"But he has come home. am he"
Then there was what Annie called "a
time"
That was how ii happened that just
as the doctor was praising Teddy's pa
tience, and saying how the wine had
helped him, there was a great futter
in the hall, and Annie bounced in, drag
ging big man with kind eyes in a
! rough face by the hand.
"My curls found him. It is Uncle
Luke, mother, and he has money
enough to buy my curls back two or
three times. l know, because he
said So"
And then there was much more Of "a
time" And the doctor held Teddy's
hand while Uncle Luke told about his
long search for his sister. and mother
explained about fathers death and her
removal to the city, and how she lost
Uncle Luke's address and could not
get letter to reach him. Then they
talked about Anne's curls, and the
doctor blew his nose frriously and dug
at his eyes, and Annie heard him say:
"Old idiot that I am! guess I'll try
to see about way Of getting wine
when | prescribe 1t again for boy
whose mother has that frightened look
in her eyes"
Annie tucked her little shorn head
under the Doctors arm and whispered:
"But you see how it was best, don't
you? My curls found so much for us
they brought us an uncle. Just look It
mother; don't she look happy? Isn't
n good uncle the best New Years pres.
ent in all this world?"
Wine is a good medicine when one
needs it, and Teddy improved rapidly
so rapidly that he was almost ready
to try the new sled that Uncle Luke
brought home to him on New Years
eve. AS for Teddy's mother, the roses
began to tint her cheeks again, and
Annie was sure she was the prettiest
and best mother in all the world.-La-

| to be able to make his New Years and
her mothers brighter than Christmas
had been. As she wandered down the
streets revolving these thoughts in her
mind and wondering how she might get
the necessary wine she passed many a
gay scene.
Early evening had closed down on
the city, and all the shops were afiame
with light and brightness. Annie gazed
wistfully at the pretty things in the
great windows; she was but little
maid, and could not help wishing for
pretty things for herself and for her
mother and Teddy.
But the wine-she must not linger;
she would only look in one more shop
and then-then she would seek the
great shop where wine was sold in bot
ties; surely the big, rosy-faced man
whom she had often noticed standing
in the doorway of his shop would listen
to her story of poor Teddy and give her
the wine.
So she stood before this last store--it
was a jewelry store-and, oh, how
beautiful the Jewels looked-sapphires
and rubies and diamonds-how they
glittered. The sight was enough to
fascinate older eyes than Annie's.
Presently something in one corner
of the window caught her gaze-it
wasn't a jewel, it was a switch OF love-
" hair; not one, bu. several, and be
low them in pretty, shallow, satin
lined boxes, were clusters of curls. A
sudden thought came to Annie; she
pressed her little hands together and
held her breath, then paused mo-
ment to gain courage, and passed reso-
lutely into the great store. A kind
locking man came forward to meet her
and said: "What can do for you, lit
tie lady?"
"Do you buy hair?" she asked.
Sometimes, little one; why do you
ask?"
"Will you buy mine? See, have
plenty!" she answered, taking off her
hat and shaking her curls down over
her shoulders, and looking up with
anxious eyes.
"But, my little girl, are your curls
yours to sell?"
"Oh, yes, sir; if you only knew why
I must sell them, am sure you would
buy them. Teddy is so i'll that he needs
things, and mother" and here she
choked up so she could say no more.
"And you want to sell your beautiful
hair to buy things for your sick broth
er; is that it, little one?"
"Yes, SIR"
