In the center of the picture ap-
peared the exact miniature of DR..
Gardner. He was alone on the banks
of a river and all around him were
lofty mountains, but a strange thing
about the scene was a huge carcass
of some dead animal that would have
done credit to a mammoth, it was SO
large in size. The trees in the pic
ture were large and great branches
of reddish colored leaves hung from
them. The eyes of the doctor were
turned toward the group and look
of pleasure was on his face. Then
the picture clouded and was gone.

"NVhere can he be?"

Mildred knew that her father was

was not easily deceived.

Theice was interrupted by a loud
jangling of the bell, and Tom has
tened to answer it. A telegraph boy
was on the stoop.

said, handing a night message TO
Tom, and then. adding a hearty

AS Tom gave the telegram to Ward
he noticed that it bore the mark of
Cambridge, Mass, on it. From his
father" surmised he,
Ward opened it, and turned pale.
Look. Tom" he cried, and handed
Tom the message. Tom read:
"Come home at once. Your father
is dying. Bring Marion. Make haste,

This message was like a hombsbell
1t broke up the merry party and Tom
and Larry became very worried. The
rest of the boys tried TO cheer them
up. and told them to go at once, fol
they would see the girls got home
safely.

The rest of the girls expressed their
sympathy and urged them to hurry

said good bye, and they we're two

CHAPTER VII.
Turner Makes IA Decision.

Prof. Turner and Prof. Ward We're
business rivals, but they were old
friends as far as sociability goes
Turner had sent for Prof. Ward, be-
cause he was desirous of having
some companion, while he was con
valescing.
Ward had been rather adverse to
coming, as he was feeling ill, but ne
went. and he had been there little
over week. when he was taken sick
to his bed.
Prof. Turner was enough of a doc
tor to know that Ward had brain
fever, but he had cure for this, Il
certain purple liquid, which he gave
Ward, and which was helping the
scientist to regain his lost strength,
and to get back on his feet like
magic.
The morning before he had sent the
telegram to Larry. Prof. Turner
went TO get his bottle of purple fluid.
lie still used crutches, and When ne
left the laboratory, with the staff,
he moved rather unsteadily.
Suddenly, the end OF the erutch
slipped, and with a crash the pro-
fessor fell. lie broke the bottle all
to pieces and the liquid spilled all
over.
Prof. Turner hurt his leg again,
and Ward was unable to take his
medicine. So Ward grew worse all
that day and the next.
At last. Turner, knowing that his
friend would die very shortly if he
did not have the medicine, made Il
decision.
He had a secret-a secret that he
guarded almost with hlS own life
But the life of his colleague must BE-
saved-so he sent that telegram to
Larry, and took a small bottle of the
purple liquid from his private chest.
This is all | have" he grumbled.
But it will last about three weeks,
and after that unless ! can get more
he'll die.
During his spare time Turner had
repaired his craft, that he fell from
that night, and he now had it run
ming perfectly, but it was too much
of a strain on his injured limbs for
him TO run it.
Brain fever is a bad disease, and
while it is a lingering death, it is q
living torture.
Tom and Larry arrived about day
light, and they found Turner was up
waiting for them.
"How's my father?" cried Larry
leaping out Of the biplane: but he
was told that the scientist was rest
ing easily and was not to be dis
turbed

The Christmas Tree
BY ETHEL DODGE.
15I Highland Avenue.

Once upon a time in thick wood
there grew little pine tree. 1t was
only a little tree now, but as every
day the sun shone down upon it or
the rain fell softly upon its branches
it grew up into a large, green tree
One day a man who lived i'm a
farmhouse nearby was walking in the
woods when he saw the tree, and
thought to himself, THAT will make
a nice Christmas tree" So he chopped
it down and took it home, and that
evening they decorated the tree With
balls and strings of popcorn, and also
Beautiful star on top and they
made it look very pretty indeed. The
tree could see its reflection in a mir
ror which was in the room, and
thought, Look at all these people
have put on me- / wonder why they
dress me up So
The next morning the children ran
into the room with shouts OF joy.
what a beautiful tree!" they cried
In the evening the tree was lighted,
and the children danced around it,
singing Christmas songs.
The tree was left up for quite a long
time after Christmas; but at last it
dropped too much to keep it up
longer. Then it was set up in the
back ward and covered with bread
and fat, so that the birds had a
Christmas tree. After a while. how
ever, it fell over. aud there it lay on
the ground. AS it lay there it thought.
Il am old and have turned brown
now. but I think | have led a very
happy life, for, though ! have missed
my home in the woods, yet | have
been very happy here and also I
have brought SO much happiness to
others, and bringing happiness to
others brings happiness TO yourself.
And If / had lived in the woods all
my life ! would not have had a
chance to make others happy"
