down the wall and landing on the
floor on his side, with his back rest
ing against the wall. And there was
Rose right in the room, and he
couldn't see her. "If some one would
only put me up on the table beside
her., thought Jack.
What Is that" he said to himself
as something came toward him, and
quick as a fash ran UP the table leg.
In q second-the cat came In and
jumped to the top of the table.
There was a rafting. of silver and
something fell beside Jack. He saw the
cat run out with something I'm her
mouth, and then he looked to see what
had fallen, and right beside him was
Rose with her bright eyes looking into
his and her, little red mouth close be-
side his face,
Jack thought he must be dreaming,
as she asked in a very low voice, have
/ not seen you somewhere before?"
And then Jack told her how he had
always loved her even in the old days
In the shop window, and that II almost
broke his little wooden heart when she
went away, and while Rose had always
thought she should like a sailor boy for
her husband. she knew sailors were
tickle, and she was wise enough to
know also that Jack loved here with all
the honest love of his little wooden
heart..,and such love was not to be de-
spised, so she smiled and Jack knew he
at last had won the little French
dolls heart.

attention, but he would jump and per-
form as never before, and he was sure
he could win her admiration.
Z On her bonnet were the tiniest rose-
buds and Jack had named her. in his
little wooden heart Rose. Rose wore a
dress OF pink silk and on her arm she
carried q box filed with pins; this he
had learned from a parrot that sat on
But she will never notice you,' the
lparrott had told him when ne caught
Jack looking at Rose one day with
flowing looks; "she is very proud, and
Isf1e says she Is French, whatever that

But no one pulled the string and Jack
Ihad no opportunity of displaying his
lagility and testing Roses regard for
him, and there came day when the
lshopseeper took Rose from the win

Twas broken, but the parrot told him to

for you to love than that French crea-

But Jack did not think so, and while
gotten Rose. he dreamed of ,.her at
might and in the daytime he looked
toward the place where she had sat
with sad heart.
And then something happened;
lady with little boy came into the
shop and bought Jumping Jack.
He was carried to a big house and
lput in a room with many other toys.
There were many animals and a Teddy
bear, but not doll was to be seen.
Iand although Jack jumped, high and
itired and wished for the window
lagain and the parrot, to whom he
icould talk of Rose.
: "If there was a doll of any. sort
here" thought Jack 1T would be
better than this, for am sure i was
made to be loved, and 1 want some one

lof the room and downstairs. He went
to the door of a room and looked In:

For Freckled, Rough
Or Spotty Compilations
CFrom the Dermatologist.)


The freckling, discoloring or rough
ening to which delicate skins are sub
ject after exposure to wind or sun,
often appearing in spring, may readily
be gotten rid Of Mercolized wax,
spread lightly over the face before
retiring and removed in the morning
with soap and water, completely peels
off the disfigured skin. Get an ounce
of the wax at any druggists. There's
no more effective way of banishing
freckles or other cutaneous defects.
Little skin particles come off each day.
SO the process doesn't even temporarily
mar the complexion, and one soon ac-
quires brand new, spotless, gtrltshly
beautiful face.
wrinkles caused by weather, worry
or illness are best treated by a simple
solution of powdered saxolite, one
