"Children's Day" was the idea of
the superintendent OF the new hos
pital. Old methods had been aban-
doned and new ones ruled. Doctor
Oakley believed that in admitting the
little folks of the town to the hospital
grounds once a month, in charge of
the matron. he would cheer up his
convalescents. inspire the young peo-
pie with a sense of pity. and bring con-
tributions to the hospital.
Eli Baynes seemed a terribly old
person to Dorothy and Ned. though.
as a matter of fact, he was only forty.
But he had returned from the West
crippled with rheumatism, contracted
by working in the silver mines. and
after three months at the hospital he
was only just beginning to regain his
health.
He sat in his wheeled chair. and his
eyes widened with pleasure as he
saw his little friends approaching.
Tell us another story. Uncle Eli,

knee.

THE OLD UNIFORM
BY CHARLES FRASER ROSS.

The great pride in life of Jed Rob
inson was that his uncle Abner mad
been q soldier and brave one. 1t
was at Pea Ridge that the now old
man had saved the oolors OF his com
pany through an act of unusual hero
ism and had won distinguished notice.
Shortly after Uncle Abner came
home at the cessation of hostilities,
the widowed mother of Jed died. In
Gle Abner was a confirmed bachelor.
His brother had left nothing Abner
himself owned little forty acre plot
OF ground along the river Just outside
the town. He ran up shack, made
its interior as comfortable as his limit
ed means would allow and adopted
Jed.
1t proved a poor possession, and
with the exception OF about one-twen-
tieth of its area the land was barren
as a gravel pit. II seemed as though
in some original glacial conyulsion ma
ture had made a dumping ground Of
this convenient and selected spot to
pile up all the mongrel tailings OF

was sure to strike coal, or pyrites or
asbestos in masses that suggested
the ground-on product Of enormous
rocks that had passed over the dis
trict in remote centuries Of the worlds

Uncle Abuer did his rull duty by Jed
and kept him at school until he was
eighteen. BY that time the old man
had become incapacitated for work.
