Marion looked up hopefully as the
card was brought her. Even the an
nouncement of Duncan's name was
comforting. But the little OblOng of
cardboard bore, in addition to the name,
the initials T.. c. Perhaps it meant
''penitent culprlt." Duncan was al
ways doing odd things The magic let
ters might be his expression of regret
But when he came briskly into the
room there was no penitential sorrow
In his cOuntenance-Only the same mer-
ry twinkle of the eyes, the old lifting
Of the corners of the mouth.
"They tell me that Tad Is no bet
ter" he said as he took MarlOn's hand.
"As you will perceive from my card, I
am physician to children"
Marion's face darkened. This, then,
was the meaning of the card. He was
worried about her brother. For a mo-
ment she was minded to renew the old
quarrel, but she needed help and SYM
pathy, and so she laid her head on his
shoulder and sobbed out her troubles.
Her father had been obliged to go to
Europe on business and had taken his
wife with him. Marion had been left
in charge of her nine-year-old brother,
and almost before the ship had passed
Sandy Hook Tad had come down with
typhoid.
His robust constitution had thrown
off the disease, but the battle had left
him weak and listless, and even the
gray bearded physician was worried.
"There is no actual danger" he ex'
planned to Marion, "but he must be
reused from this lethargy or he will &c
into a decline"
He had confided the same fear tC
Henry Duncan when he met the latter
on the street and the younger man had
asked after his little chum. Then, de
spite the misunderstanding between
Marion and himself, he could hold out
no longer, and his call was the result.
"If he should die before mother
comes back. what should do" walled
Marion.
"Send a cable" advised Duncan
promptly, "but there is not going to bC
any more worry now that the physi
clan to children has stepped in. May
see my patient"
Marion led him to the boys room
Tad's face lighted as he saw Duncan

and his fingers twined confdingly
about the mans firm hand. Duncan
was shocked at the thinness of the
fingers, but he gave no sign.
"What's the matter, old chap" he
demanded, with voice now wonder
fully gentle. '"They tell me you don't
find the world any good any more"
'T'm tired" said Tad plaintively.
"Tll bet you'd not be too tired to go
to circus" said Duncan.
Tad shook his head.
'"rhere amt any," he said. II was
asking DIR. Stanton. He says it's too
early for them"
"Circuses are ne good If they are
picked before they are ripe" admitted
Henry, "but if you don't want too big
a circus I think can get one for you"
II don't want play circus" ex-
planned the boy. "I'yR got some play
circuses. Ones In book, and the 9th
er's in the cupboard"
I'VE got him toy circus and cir
Gus book" whispered Marion. "He has
somehow set his mind on circus. 1t
will be long time before one comes"
"There are no more circuses," reit-
Grated Tad sadly, They've all gone
away"
"Rats! laughed DUNCAN. "That shows
all you know about ciPcuses. Will q
little circus do-a real circus, only with
one rlngW
"Real horses, real everything?" de-
manded the boy.
Everything except the tent and the
red lemonade. You see, In winter they
keep circuses in houses, so the elephant
won't get his ears frostbitten. I bet
if you had ears as big as an elephants
you wouldn't like to get your ears
frOStbitten." Il
The boy laughed In delight at the
fancy and beat the cOunterpane with
his fragile hand.
"Then there's the giraffe" went on
Duncan. "Why, when he starts to
cough it's full minute before it wrig-
giles up his throat. So they keep cir
cuses in hotbouses, just like plants"
"And there really is circuses?"
"YOu get rested up and we're going
to one tomorrow" assuEed. Henry.

lowed him down the hall.
"He will be awfully disappointed to-
morrow" she said doubttuily,
Don't believe it." laughed Duncan,

THE PROGRESS.
To Sharpen Old Files.
respect.

To know how dull files are very east
ly sharpened is worth to the farmer
many a round dollar. There are peo-
pie who throw away files thinking they
are worn out, but that is in many a
case a large mistake. The dullness OF
files is produced by the finely ground
chips checking between the teeth OF
fles. The secret Of sharpening files Is
the following: Take one part sulphuric
acid and FIVE parts water. Mix both
we'll together, and in this solution put
dull files for twenty-four hours. Be-
fore using 6lcs after they have been
sharpened in. this way wash on the
nles well with soap and when dry rub
in with kerosene oil. This process
will make old dull files like new. Be
cautious with this acid In handling, as
It Is not to make fun with.

EDO Bound Hens,

The very first thing to do in the
treatment of egg bound hens Is to
remove the cause. If the bird Is too
fat It's supply of fat forming grain ra-
ton should be cut off at once, and in
stead liberal amount of feed rich in
protein should be given. If the grain
is corn change to wheat bran mixed to
thick mush with skim milk. This
should be fed once each. day. Gener-
ally the evening is the best time. Com
pei the birds to take great deal OF
exercise. Scatter little wheat in the
litter early in the morning and make
the birds scratch for 1t. Do notAgive
them very much. At noon give them
another feed. Change the feed fire.
quently from wheat to oats and rye,
feeding no one grain more than three
times In succession.
AS a remedy give teaspoonful OF
EPSON salts in each gallon Of drinking
water. If the egg is lodged near the
opening an injection of sweet oil will
many times cause it to pass out.

We think it worse than waste Of
time to remove the seeds, whether the
pumpkins are fed to cattle, sheep or
hogs. We have fed pumpkins, seeds
and all. to hogs for several years and
have had no bad results therefrom-in
fact, we value pumpkin seeds highly
as food, for they contain considerable
amount of nutriment. OF course they
may be fed to excess, in which case
they act lnjuriOusly on the kidneys, but
where pumpkins are fed moderately no
injurious results need be feared, Pump
kins should only form q small part of
the hogs ration, SO far as actual food
Is concerned, The main reason for
feeding foods of this character Is to
supply sucou!enoy to the ration, which
keeps the hOg's digestive system in
good working order. = Farmers Trih'

Tad was sitting up, ready dressed,
when Henry drove up to the door the
next mOrliEg. Already the queet med
Icine had commenced to act. for he
was far more like his old self, and
slight flush Of excitement tinged the
cheek that had threatened to fade into
the waXen pallOr of death.
Duncan wrapped the boy up warmly,
and, with a flourish Of the whip, they
were off. Away out past the town
they went into the country, not yet
freed from the thraldom of Jack Frost,
though there was promise of spring
in the soft air.
1t was to place very unlike a circus
that Duncan drove, a collection of
long, low barns and one large, square
building but when they entered the
latter, behold, there was real circus
ring, with a band in one corner, labOri-
ously going over unfamiliar music.
A stout man nodded to Henry and
stopped to greet Tad.
You're going to have a circus all
to YOURSELF" he promised. Want to
feed the elephant?"
Il haven't any peanuts" Tad's lip
began to quiver, but Henry drew a bag
from his pocket.
He led the way to one Of the barns,
where Tad fed the elephants and was
permitted to go much closer to the
| lions cage than he could at the big
circus. A man standing by even plucked
a hair from the lions tail and present
ed it to Tad with due ceremony. Then
they went back to the big building and
sat through long, delightful dress re-

"Good luck to you," Henry said as
they shook hands In parting. You've
saved one youngsters life, and the sea
son is not yet Open."
Hell be mascot" said Boston as
he waved a farewell. Glad you
brought him out"
1t was past supper time when Duncan
turned a very sleepy little boy over to
his sister. Tad looked up drOwslly as
Marion put him to bed.
"There is crcuses." he announced
"really and truly ones like Henry said
And l got a lions TAIL" he added as
his sleep heavy eyellds closed.

Care Of the Bath Sponge.

Many cOmpleXions are ruined by the
use of spOnges and face cloths, not
that they are pernlcous in themselves,
but they are not properly cleansed
after using. They are carelessly wrung
out Of the water In which they have
been used and hung up by the wash
stand out Of the light.
The soap and impurities OF the water
remain in them, and as they are used
time after time the decayed soan and
collected matter are applied to the face
and will occasion the appearance of
blackheads and little nlmples, and the
skin will become muddy.
A snonge Is we'll enough in itself,
and SO Is q wash cloth, but even after
being used once the sponge or the
cloth should be washed most carefully
and after being rinsed in boiling water
hung to dry in the sunlight and air.

relative to their Christmas trade and
almost without exception they declare
that their business was far above the
average and some Of them did even
better than last year which was a
record breaker. Owing to the bust
ness disturbances of the late autumn
most of the merchants were more or
less worried as they had bought heavi-
ly and were afraid that money would
be so scarce that they might lose
heavily, but have been happily disap-
pointed. The prospect too for the
coming year has improved a good deal
of late and while business may not be
quite up to the high water mark there
does not appear to be any cause for
serious worry.
