as the doctor was praising Teddy's pa
thence, and saying how the wine had
helped him, there was a great f1utter
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. 1t is Uncle
Luke, mother, and he has money
enough to buy my curls back two or
three times. I know, because he
said so.''
And then there was much more of ga
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 a letter to reach him. Then they
talked about Armies curls. and the
doctor blew his nose furiously and dug
at his eyes, and Annie heard him say:
'Old idiot that 1 am! L guess I'll try
to see about way of getting wine
when 1 prescribe it again for a boy
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? Ny curls found so much for US
they brought us an uncle. Just look t
mother; don't she look happy? Isn't
a 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-

An Obituary.

He was strong on lines financial,
And his income was substantial,
And he trod with face undaunted through
this wilderness of woe;
Always kept his head on level,
Had no fear of man or devil,
Till he bumped against plumber and the
plumber laid him low.
There was need of some connection
At a pipe line intersection,
An adjustment Of meter to q three
fourths tube inside.
For defendant in the action
Life has no more satisfaction
Bill was longer than the pipe line, but he
paid the same and died.

40 Observation-Disclosures. -

SO poor, so poor.
Annie heard her mothers words, al
though they were not intended for her
to hear. She saw her brush away the
tears from her eyes and then go back
to Teddy's room.
what did the doctor say, mother?"
asked Teddy, in weak v.ice; did he
say l will get well?"
Annie heard the reply: "He says that
the fever is broken, and that all you
have to do now is to get we'll"
Teddy's voice trembled as he replied:.
"Oh, mother, I was afraid he would
say l might die, and I wondered who
would take care of you and little An
ME. I am glad God is going to let me
live to do it, Now | must begin to get
strong! Can't you give me lots to eat?"
Annie saw her mothers lips culver
as she turned her face from Teddy
Eyes, my son, but not toe much at
once, you know" she said.
Teddy looked very thoughtful
But is there anything in the house.
mother? have been sick good while,
and my last wages must be nearly
gone, and you haven't had time to color
many photos lately, have you?"
The boys mother answered, brave
ly: "Sick folks mustn't bother about
these things, you know" Then she
left the room, and Annie saw that she
did so to hide the tears which were
streaming down her worn face.
81 must do something; I wonder
what it will be?" murmured Annie to
herself, and, crushing her hat down
over her curls, she slipped into the
street.
Annie thought constantly of wine for
poor Teddy, and wondered if she sum-
moned courage to beg bottle whether
anyone would be kind enough 90 give
it TO her for a poor sick boy, her only
brother. She knew that some times
grocers kept wine, especially around
holiday time, and felt sure if they only
knew how very, very much it was
needed at home by her poor sick Ted
DIV that some one of them would sure
ly give her a bottle. Then there were
other places where they sold nothing
but wine and such stuff, for she had
seen big windows full of the bottles,
with pictures of great punches of beau
tiful grapes standing behind them.
Annie wasn't a bold, forward child:
she was timid, but brave and resolute:
her love for her brother, al leas., made
her brave for the time; so she resolved
in her heart to beg for the wine which
the doctor said would bring back
strength to Teddy. Christmas had
come and gone, but Teddy was so i'll
with the fever that Annie thought
nothing about the absence of the gifts
usual to that happy day; but now Ted
dy was to grow better, and she did long
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.

tured among music lovers on October u,

lightful antcipations are in order. The
people of this city are to be congratulated
for having secured one of the only ten re-
citals to be given by Nine. Sembrch on
her tour to be made previous to the opera
season. Unusual inducements had to be
made by Fred C. Hand who is the local
manager of the performance.
Mr. Hand states that when he visited
New York to arrange for Madame Sem
brichs appearance in this city he was
compelled to compete with at least thirty
other applicants from other cities who
endeavored to secure one of the limited
number of performances. He feels conf
dent that the thousands of Scranton music
lovers will avail themselves of this their
first. and probably last opportunity of
hearing Nine. Sembrich i'm recital wilt
