His hat was tied over his ears with
a tape from his mothers apron, and
he wore long pair OF his fathers
knitted stockings which covered his
boots and came up to his thighs.
He did not at first take any more
notice OF me than on the previous
day. but steering his sledge round the
room he shouted to his dog that the
chair by the side of my bed was a
glacier and the sheepskin rug was
floating ice.

At length my great moment came
and with a fiuttering heart l took it.

with a dig of emphasis on the last
word which cut me to the quick
Wouldn't you like to have one?"

myself, but my lonely little heart was

How to Get Fat
Use Samose, Says Druggist and Put
on Good Flesh.

The almost universal interest in
physical culture is the best evidence
that can be offered as to the need Of
a simple and scientific method of max
ing. thin people fat. increasing strength
and restoring health.
Athletics. when carried to an extreme.
often result in straining the vital organs
How much better it would be for the
average person to regain health
strength and flesh by using Samose
This fiesh-forming food Is assimilated as
soon as II enters the stomach; 1t helps
the organs to assimilate the food and
extract the flesh forming elements. 1t
builds UP the muscles and rounds out
the limbs into shapely plumpness.
Samose has been so suooessfM n
making thin people fat and restoring the
weak and run down to strength and
health that Jacobs Pharmacies, the
popular druggists, sell It under their
personal guarantee to refund the money
II 1t does not benefit.
An offer like this certainly shows re
markable faith in the powers OF Sam
ose to do all that is claimed for II. No
one should suffer any longer from a
thin, rundown condition, now that
Samose's remarkable powers are known

II was during the Chrlstmastlde.
On Christmas Eve | awoke in the
dead Of night with the sense Of
awakening in another world The
church bells we're ringing, and there
was singing outside of our house. I'M
der the window Of my mothers room.
After listening for little while |
made my voice as soft as | could and
said:
Mamma. what Is IT."
Hush, dearl II is the Waits Lie
still and listen" said my mother
lay as long as my patience would
permit and then, creeping over to the
window. l saw circle Of men and
women. with lanterns. and the frosty
air smoking about their red faces
After a while they stopped singing.
and then the chain OF our front door
ratified, and | heard my fathers loud
voice asking the singers into the
house
They came I'm. and when was
back in bed heard them talking
and then laughing in the room be-
low. with Aunt Bridget louder than
an the rest. and when asked what
she was doing my mother told me
she was serving cut bunloaf and

NCh lHdt udN inc doctor boy
considered that l belonged to
him, but not until l was sent
to school, with my cousin and her
stepsster did he feel called upon to
claim his property.
1t was a mixed day school in the
village, and it was controlled by a
board which had the village butcher
as It's chairman. The only teacher
was tall woman of 80. who plated
her bair, which was of the color of
flax, into a ridiculous looking crown
on the top OF her head. But her ex-
preston, l remember, was one of
perpetual severity, and when she
spoke through her thin lips she
clipped her words with great rapidity.
as II they had been rolls of bread
which were being chopped in a char
ity school,
Afterward I heard that she owed
her position to Aunt Bridget. who
had exercised her influence through
the chairman, by means of his az
count with the Big House. PERHAPS
she thought 1t her duty to display her
gratitude. Certainly she lost no time
in showing me that my character had
gone to school before me, for in order
that | might be directly under her eve.
she placed me in the last seat in the
lowest class, although my mother
daily teaching would have entitled me
to go higher
/ dare say I was, as Father Dan
used to say, is full of mischief as a
ND
box, but | do not think deserved the
fate that followed.
One day. not more than a week aft
er We had been sent to school, I held
my slate in front of my face while l
whispered something to the girl be-
side and the girl behind me. Both
began to litter.
"Silencei" cried the schoolmistress.
who was sitting at her desk, but /
went on whispering and the girls be-
gan to choke with laughter.
think the schoolmistress must
have thought I was saying something
about discriminating game, perhaps,
of her personal appearance-for after
moment she said, in her rapid ac-
cents:
Mary O'Neill, please repeat what
you have just been saying"
l held my slate yet closer to my
face and made no answer.
Don't you hear, miss? Speak,
You've tongue in your head, haven't
you?"
But still l did not answer. and then
the schoolmistress said.
Mary O'Neill, come forward"
She had commanded me like a dog
and like a dog | was about to obey
when caught sight of Betsy Beauty's
face, which, beaming with satisfac.
ton. seemed to be saying: Now. we
shall see."
l would not stir after that, and
the schoolmistress, leaving her desk
came toward me, and, looking darkly
into my face, said:
You willful little vixen, do Vol
think you can trifie with me? Come
out. miss, this very moment"
| knew where that language came
from, sol made no movement.
Don't you hear? Or do you sun
pose that because you are pampered
and spoiled by a foolish person al
home you can defy me?"
That reflection on my mother SET
tied everything. | sat as rigid as a
rock
Then pale as a whitewashed wall
and with her thin lips tightly com
pressed, the schoolmistress took hold
OF me 10 drag me out of my seat. but
with my little nervous fingers / cluns
to the desk in front of me, and as
often as she tore one Of my hands
open the other fixed itself afresh.
You mink. Wen see who's mis-
