terrible; it would be impossible to
describe it. During the last three

the only relief was the use of NOR

Il had several physicians, nearly

who has been greatly benefited by

who would rather go without food for
his breakfast than his Postum. So
much depends on the proper cooking
of Postum for unless it is boiled the

"You haven't forgotten me, then?"
of Burgundy and other dainties for
her Pierre had suddenly fioated across
her vision.
81 would give you fair price for
the bird" the stranger went on. 81
would like to have it for my little
daughter. In fact, you may name
your own price"
Pierre was about to repudiate the
offer again when he caught Babet's
eye. She was already speaking.
"And monsieur's little daughter
would be very good to the bird?" She
lifted up her worn, gentle face, and
eyed him anxiously. Poor Pierre hest
tated and stumbled little before he
was able to stammer vaguely:
You are going to sell our Chrysos-
tome, Babet?"
Yes, yes" she said, decidedly. But
she gave her head sort of helpless
nod, and looked down at her blue
anron.
The artist paid double the sum
named, and said he would send a
servant that afternoon to claim his
purchase.
When the servant arrived at the
chalet with the bird, the cage was
placed in a large window in one Of
the drawing-rooms. The window open
ed to the sun and to the fragrance and
greenery of the garden. But not a
note, not a sound came from the mel
ancholy thrush. 1t dropped and hung
it's head as If moulting. They fed,
they whistled, they coaxed; but it re-
manned motionless and moping.
The artist was indignant He had
not really pressed the old people to
sell their bird; he had given them
double the sum named and now! 1t
was not in his nature to be suspicious
but it certainly looked as If another
thrush had been palmed off upon him
in place of the magnificent songster
he had heard that morning.
However, he gave the bird several
days trial. At length, patience was
exhausted, and he sent for its late
owner to demonstrate with him upon
his deception.
Pierre trudged heavily into the
room, hat in hand, and the artist turn
ed around, armed with some righteous
rebuke.
But neither he nor Pierre was al
lowed to SPEAK; for no sooner had
the old man made his appearance in
the room than the thrush leaped down
from its perch, tapped its wings JOY
ously and burst into SO triumphant
a song that the whole room seemed to
vibrate with its melody.
What Chrysostome, lie joli Chrysos-
tome" said the old man, going up
close to the wicker cage, you haven't
forgotten me, them"
Forgotten him, indeed! The bird
extended its slender body, expanded
its soft chest and filed its little lungs.
Its song of greeting rose upon the
voluble air with the splendor of in
visible color and the artist found him
self thinking. And all the while it
kept moving from side to side in the
cage-dancing with JOY, one might
say.
Yes, there could be no doubt about
! it; it was the same bird that had so
charmed the ears of the artist and is
little daughter at the foot Of the hill
near Champrosay. But, like the He
brew captives, it had not been able
to sing its songs in strange land.
you can have your bird, my old
man." the artist said with a smile.
And then, to Carolyn:
1--WE would not part such loving
friends for boxes of bon-bons, would
we, dear?"
So of together they trudged, happy
Pierre and Chrysostome, Chrysos-
tome still in full song. And Babel
wept for Joy at their return.-New

Kidney Pills are quick to soothe and

how valuable they are. even in cases

L. C. Lowell of AIS North First ST.,
Spokane, Wash, says: 81 have had
trouble from my kidneys for the past
ten years. :. 1t was caused by strain
to which I paid little attention. But
as I neglected the trouble it became
worse and worse until any strain or a
slight cold was sure to be followed
by severe pain across my back. Then
the action of the kidney secretions be-
came deranged and was caused much
annoyance besides loss of sleep.
