dimly that he had been guilty Of an

He turned the snowplow down the
factory road. as if he were making a
triumphal progress. fashioning his
snow borders with all the freedom of
some sculpturing wind on summer
clouds.

Two for the way it all has run,
he sang to the soft push and thud and
clank of his going. He swept circle
in front OF the little house that was
the factory office. as if he had prepared
the setting for great event: and Eben-

stepped into the hall of the house.
For thirty years he had been accus-
toned to enter the little house with his
mind ready to receive its interior Of
desks and shelves and safes and files.
Today. quite unexpectedly. as he OPEN
ed the door the thing that was in
his mind was hall stair with red
carpet and parlor adjoining with fig
ured stuff at the windows and a coal
fire in the stove. And thirty-five years
ago it had been that way. when he and
his wife and child had lived in the lit
lie house where his business was then
just starting at a machine set up in
the woodshed. AS his project had
grown and his factory had arisen in
the neighboring lots the family had
moved farther up in the town. Re-
membrane had been divorced FROM
this place for decades. Today, without
warning. it waited for him on the
threshold.
He had asked his bookkeeper to meet
him there. but the man had not yet
arrived. So Ebenezer himself kindled
the fire in the rusty Office stove in the
room where the figured curtains had
been. The old account books that he
wanted were not here on the shelves
nor in the cupboards of the cold ad-
joining rooms. They dated so far back
that they had been filed away up.
stairs. He had not been upstairs in
years. and his first impulse was to
send his bookkeeper when he should
appear. But this, after all, was not
Ebenezer's way, and he went up the
stairs himself.
Each upper room was like some one
unconscious in stupOr or death and
Still as distinct in personality as If in
some ancient activity. There was the
shelf he had put up in their room. the
burned place on the floor where he had
tipped over lamp. tattered shreds of
the paper she had hung to surprise
him. the little storeroom which they
had cleared out for Malcolm when he
WAS old enough and whose door had
had to be kept closed because innu-
merabIe uncaged birds lived there.
When he had gone through the piles
of account books in closet and those
he sought We're not found among them
he remembered the trunkful upin the
tiny loft. He let down from the pas
sage ceiling the ladder he had once
hung there and climbed up to the little
roof recess.

HOW TO SAVE YOUR EYES
Try This Free Prescription

Do your eyes give you trouble? Do
you already wear eyeglasses or spec
tacles? Thousands of people wear
these windows" who might easily dis
penSe with them. You may be one of
these, and it is your duty to save your
eyes before it is too late. The eyes
are neglected more than any other
organ of the entire body. After you
finish your days work you sit down
and rest your muscles, but how about
your eyes? Do you rest them? You
know you do not. You read or do
something else that keeps your eyes
busy; you work your eyes until you
go tc bed. That is why so many have
strained eyes and finally other eye
troubles that threaten partial or total
blindness. Eyeglasses are merely
crutches; they never cure. This free
prescription, which has benefited the
eyes of so many. may work equal
wonders for you. Use it short time.
Would you like your eye troubles to
disappear as if by magic? Try this
prescription. Go to the nearest wide
awake drug store and get bottle Of
Splbld iii OSNAiS
with warm water, drop in one tab
let and allow it to thoroughly dissolve.
With this liquid battle the eyes two to
four times daily. Just note how
quickly your eyes clear up and how
soon the inflammation will disappear.
Don't be afraid to use it; it is abao-
lutely harmless Many who are now
blind might have saved their eyes had
they started to care for them in time.
This is a simple treatment, but mar
velously effective in multitudes of
cases. Now that you have been warn.
ed don't delay day, but do what you
can to save your eyes and you are
likely to thank us as long as you live
