weighed a pound and half less than
at birth. When one month old scab
formed on her face, spreading until it
completely covered her from head to

her body. Then her skin started to

could not shut her eyes to sleep. One

and now my child is as large, strong,

The Doctors and drug bills were over

"A TALE or BONANZA DAYS.
0Ow. a Chance Remark OF James
Flood Ruined His Gardener

|ts00wta Chance Remark of James
Flood Ruined His Gardener.
In the old days of excitement when
mining stocks We're on the jump and
men became millionaires over one days
dabbling an incident occurred at the
country residence of James c. Flood in
Menlo when a fairly we'll to do farmer
found himself without home in the
short period of one week. The mans
name was Hank, and, being a first.
class gardener. he readily found en-
ployment about the residence of the
wealthy owners of mansions. In this
way he was employed at the Flood
residence. Hank was lettering about
the garden one Saturday evening as
the proprietor, in company with Wis
itor, was looking over the stock.
Mr.. Flood, who had just stepped out
of the hog corral, casually remarked to
his friend that he would be willing to
make bet that Con would 60 up to
300 before Christmas" Hank con-
strued 'Con" to mean Consolidated
Virginia, and, taking the tip which he
thought would make him a millionaire,
he disposed of his holdings of $50 acres
of fine land, his stock and, in brief,
everything he had on earth except his
wife and four bright little Hanks. The
proceeds he invested in Consolidated
Virginia stock, which was then selling
at $50 share.
Christmas came, but instead of Con-
going up to $500 it fell to $25. The
man was pauper. In lamenting his
loss he incidentally mentioned to
friend of Flood how he lost his all.
Flood, who was generous to fault,
sent for Hank and had him repeat his
story. When he learned of his chance
remark about "Con going up to 300
before Christmas" he fairly shook with
laughter and explained what it meant.
1t was in reference to the gift of a
young SOW, made present to him by
Con O'Connor, who in the fun of the
thing had called the pig Con- The bet
alluded to the sow's increasing in
weight to 800 pounds before Christmas
and not to Con Virginia.
Having enjoyed the joke and after
joshing Hank, the noble hearted Flood
bought back the ranch for Hank and
recompensed him for all his losses.
The originality of the joke and the
knowledge of the penalty paid by an
eavesdropper were Floods reward

And the Master Mariner Of the World

out:

"Let Us fetch it at once" said the

They bowed assent and instantly the
Forest glade was deserted, but in Il
place midway between the earth and
the Sky was suspended a cleaning
crypt of gold and platinum, aglow with
soft lights shed from the facets of
countless gems. Within a high dome
hung the precious Mantle of Immor-
tality, and each immortal placed a
hand on the hem of the splendid Robe
and said, as with one voice:
eve bestow this Mantle upon Claus,
who is called the Patron Saint of Chill

At this the Mantle came away from
Its lofty crypt, and they carried it to
the house in the Laughing Valley.
The Spirit of Death was crouching
very near to the bedside of Claus, and
as the immortals approached she
sprang up and motioned them back
with an angry gesture, but when her
eyes fell upon the Mantle they bore
she shrank away with low moan of
disappointment and quilted that house
forever
Softly and silently the immortal
Band dropped upon Claus the precious
Mantle, and it closed about him and
sank into the outlines of his body
and disappeared from view. It be-
came part Of his being, and neither
mortal nor immortal might ever take
it from him.
Then the Kings and Queens who had
wrought this great deed dispersed to
their various homes, and all were we'll
contented that they had added another
immortal to their Band.
And Claus slept on, the red blood
Of everlasting life coursing swiftly
through his veins, and on his brow was

Queen of the Water Sprites, and over
his lips lowered tender kiss that had
been left by the sweet Nymph Necile

did not then understand what had hap
pened to restore to him the vigor of
youth, but in spite Of the fact that his
beard remained the color Of snow and
that wrinkles still fingered in the cor
ners Of his bright eyes old Santa
Claus felt as brisk and merry as a bow
OF sixteen and was soon whistling
contentedly as he busted himself fash
1oning news toys.
Then Ak came to him and told Of the
Mantle Of Immortality and how Claus
had won it through his love for little
children
1t made old Santa look grave for a
moment to think he had been so favor
ed, but it also made him glad to realize
that now he need never fear being
parted from his dear ones. At once
ne began preparations for making a re-
markable assortment Of pretty and
amusing playthings and in larger
quantities than ever before, for now
that he might always devote himself
to this work he decided that no child
in the world, poor or rich, should here
after go without Christmas gift if
ne could manage to supply it.
The world was new in the days when
dear old Santa Claus first began toy
making and won, by his loving deeds,
the Mantle of Immortality. And the
task of supplying cheering words, SYM
pathy and pretty play things to all the
young of his race did not seem a diff
cult undertaking at all. But every year
more and more children were born into
the world, and these, when they grew
up, began spreading slowly over all the
race OF the earth, seeking new homes,
so that Santa Claus found each year
that his journeys must extend farther
and farther from the Laughing Valley
and that the packs Of toys must be
made larger and ever larger.
So at length he took counsel with
his fellow immortals how his work
might keep pace with the increasing
number of children, that none might
be neglected, aud the immortals were
so greatly interested in his labors that
they gladly rendered him their assist
ance. Ak gave him his man Kilter.
