something beyond drugs"
So they separated, and the doctor
went to his room to study. But his
mind was not content with BOOKS. 1t
dwelt upon Amy, as she appeared but
a short time before. 1t occurred to him
that he had thought of her many times
in the past few weeks. But then it was
purely Professionalism common in
terest in the medical aspect of theii
work. She was very competent nurse
and very attractive. Her eyes and
her mouth and that little wisp of hair
that always curled over her ear stood
before him. But pshaw, it meant moth
ing. Thus he tried to trick his con-
science, deceiving himself and saying
it was not SO, when, in some deeper
sub-consciousness he knew that it was
SO and really could not be otherwise.
and that he was hopelessly in the tolls.
This is loves alchemy.
In the Gimly lighted ward Amy was
at Teddy's bedside. The 10y was wake
full and restless. He wanted company.
Though her duty was over she stayed
with him, talking in a whisper.
Bit by bit she drew from him the
story of his brief. hard life. He had
no memory of father or mother. He
had lived with an aunt. who beat him;
so he ran away and finally graduated
from newsboy to telegraph messenger.
He was doubter. Even Santa Claus,
that patron saint of the children. was
to him a myth-"only for rich folks
kids" he said.
But when she told him how Santa
Claus would come to all children, rich
and poor. If he only knew where they
lived, his eyes grew big with interest.
Teddy" she said. ''if Santa Claus
will come here on Christmas day and
bring you lots of presents and a
Christmas tree will you try to get

Teddy thought hard. Guess that
might be worth gettin' well for" he
said with a sigh. But he won't come

lang. Down the broad, brilliantly
lighted avenue swept a heavy fire
truck, its five dappled horses united
in mad gallop. Ten-year-old Teddy
ONeill, Western Union messenger
boy, cut suddenly into the avenue
from side street and circled on his
wheel like an eagle. His eyes fol-
lowed the truck with longing. 1t was
a struggle 'twixt duty and pleasure.
Then an engine dashed into sight. 1t
was drawn by three magnificent
blacks, and in the darkness it cleaned
like demon, splitting fire and smoke
Teddy gave a howl of enthusiasm and
followed in its wake
For block after block he trailed the
wheel of the engine, bending low over
his handle bars. Something of the
spirit of the fire-fghters of old was in
his blood. and though his little heart
was pounding with sudden stress he
held the pace, his short legs dancing
mechanically with the pedals
At the cross street a trolley car
blocked the way. A collision seemed
inevitable. The driver rose in his
seat. jammed the brake down, and
drew with all his strength on the
lines. The blacks came down on their
launches and with stiffened forelegs
slid on the smooth pavement just
in time the heavy engine came to q
stop.
But Teddy. pedaling as though for
q record, with his eyes to the ground,
knew not of the obstruction.
Suddenly the shining engine loomed
before him. He threw up his arms
and with little cry dashed into the
heavy steelshod wheels.
A crowd gathered quickly. Gentle
hands bore the limp and mangled body
to a nearby hospital
When Teddy awoke he lay In a white
iron bed, in long room, with many
other beds on each side of him. He
tried hard to remember. What did it
all mean? And what made the pain
In his head. his chest, his legs? He
gave little groan.
A woman came to the bed and
leaned over him Years afterward he

eat and laugh and be happy. And the
first thing you know all the pain will
go away and you will be just as well
as I am"
1t was a large idea, and his little
mind could not take 1t in easily.
How can you tell him where l am?"
He was suspicious.
"why, III send him a letter."
Couldn't you send him telegram?
It'd get there lots quicker. An tell
him to answer paid" He was on IA
miliar ground now.
She thought it over a little before
she replied. "All right, Teddy, I'll
send him telegram. And if he says
he'll come will you try real hard.

eyes.

She drew the covers around his neck
and tucked him in snugly. "I'll tell
him. dearie." she said. And Just
know he'll bring the 'ingyne'. Now go
to sleep and you'll wake up in the
morning lots better" She stroked the
little head gently. Slowly his eyes
closed and he slept.
| Amy went to her room. At her desk
she wrote a note to the manager OF
the telegraph company. and taking 1t
to the front door dropped it in the let

| Teddy's first words the next morn

ingly. "Oh. it's too early. Wait till
this afternoon"
He ate his breakfast with relish. and
there was a new note in his voice
when the doctor came in. But 1t was
a part of their plan that the doctor
should not know. and though Teddy
was on the peak OF expectancy he
kept the secret.
At three o'clock messenger
brought Amy yellow envelope. and
she took 1t straight to Teddy's bed.
He reached for it eagerly, tore it open,
and with shining eyes read the mes.

Freely and unstintingly as they have
given in the past, they gave again, not
asking for the slightest advantage, de-
manding nothing for themselves in the
way of privilege or control. The order

fullness Of it's heart, gave where its only
reward is but the satisfaction of a duty
perfectly performed in the sight of an
approving Providence.
This substantial encouragement was
an incentive to other Jewish organiza-

Council, the Free Sons of Israel, as well
as the Federated Jewish Charities of
Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit,
Milwaukee, Philadelphia and st. Louis,
to contribute annually to the hospital.

cred from the 5000 subscribers in vary
ing sums, and in cities other than those
mentioned.
Starting on December 10, 1899, with
thirty-five patients, the institution now
cares for about ninety at all times. The
length Of stay is from six months to one
year, depending entirely upon the i'm
provement possible for the patient. 1t is
the intention to receive and treat only
those for whom there is a reasonable
chance for recovery, or sufficient i'm
provement to enable the patient, upon
his discharge, to become self-supporting.
1t is the conviction Of those in charge Of
the institution that each city should care
for it's own incurables, and that the city
Of Denver and the state of Colorado
ought not to be burdened with a great
number Of incurable cases who can only
be menace to the community without
possible chance Of benefit to themselves.

The anniversary which this issue of

emplifcation in it's backward vista than
the National Jewish Hospital for Con-
sumptives.
It stands in the abstract for the very
acme of the freedom the Jewish people
have been privileged to enjoy in the
United States, a creedless monument Of
the gratitude Of long-suffering race
It is one of the many Hebrew charita-
BILE institutions, which by the very mag
nitude Of it's helpfulness and by the hal
lowing depth Of it's humanitarianism
gives the world it's clearest conception of
the heart of a race.
It was conceived by the Jew. 1t was
founded by the Jew. It is sustained by
the Jew.
Yet Mercy stands blindfold at it's
threshold so that she can but hear the cry

Of suffering and calm the human woe
that flies to her arms.
It is the Jews gift to free and lib
eral-thinking nation.
They tell us that the people Of the
mountains can see the world with
clearer and stronger mental vision than
those who live in the valleys. That may
account in way for the inception only
Of the great institution, for it was in
Denver that the thought came to the
workers in Gods vineyard and it was
Denver that in 1890 raised $4,000 for
the construction Of the main building.
No need to speak Of the days Of the
panic that followed, Of the years Of
whole community's financial rebuilding
and Of the long struggle to carry out the
original purpose.
