This room looks as If it We're kept
clean by the fairies, so pure are the
furnishings" said Helen, as she lay
back comfortably among the snow
white blankets, and soon after this
she fell into a sound sleep.
In the morning, after having a good
breakfast! the mistress of the little
cottage led Helen into the parlor.
What was the good ladys surprise
when she saw Helen fall back in II
faint right in front of a large picture
that of d man about forty-five years
of age and a little girl about five.
When she revived enough to speak
Helen asked her whose pictures were
they. The lady of the house said
they were the pictures of her dead
husband and daughter. Helen then
asked their names and turned deathly
pale as the lady answered: MY hus-
bands name was Harry Chase and
nv daughters name was Helen
Mrs. Chase then told Helen that
about eight Years ago she and her
husband, together with their two chill
dren. lived in a distant land.
over to America about two months
before the time She was to come over
with the little boy.
When she arrived she heard that
her husband and baby girl were
killed in an accident, and she
searched all over trying to find some
clue to the whereabouts of their
bodies, and, not being successful, she
now considered herself a widow.
After she had finished speaking
Helen took from her little bundle of
clothes a small picture and handed 1t
TO Mrs. Chase, who saw with great
Surprise that it was the very one
from which the big one had been
| taken.
Helen then told Mrs. Chase that
years ago she and her father had
come to that village.
She had heard from her father hun
dreds of times thats her mother and
little brother were coming over To
this country when the ship on which
] they were sailing struck an iceberg IN
mid-ocean and sank Among the

drowned was her mother and brother.
Their bodies were picked up by the
rescue ship after ten hours, but after
being in the icy water so long they
We're badly disfigured. These two
bodies were buried in her fathers
plot in the cemetery as his wife and
son. After two years of mourning her
father thought that it would be good
for him to marry a good woman TO
whom he could trust and give his
child for training and care.
His second married life was not
happy, and. after about five years of
torture with his wife, he died, partly
from a broken heart.
After hearing this strange story a
joyful look came into her eye, and,
taking the picture, looked at it and
then at Helen. 1t didn't take her
long to conclude that the child her
son had befriended was her long-lost
daughter returned to her after long
years of separa ton.

Dear Margery Doom:
Can you tell me how to remove a
wagon grease spot from an en-
broidered wolfe dress without wash
ing it? Il. L.
Place a piece of clean white blot

rub quickly with chloroform, using
a piece of soft cloth or a sponge
for the purpose. Change the blot
