that was making so much fuss about
coming through. left him kicking up
his heels and Growing like q young
rooster"
Sally and Jerry laughed.
"Shall l dance for you?" asked the
Snow Fairy politely.
"Oh, yesl" beseeched the children.
Up jumped the white little person,
and In the twinkling of an eye she had
begun. The children never saw such
dancing In their lives. Never!
The Snow Fairy pirouetted on top
OF the clock; she whirled like a crystal
prism. She jumped down and made q
low bow to china shepherdess, and
then the shepherdess threw away her
crook and danced with the fairy, Away
they went, whlrling and bobbing and
turning and dipping. They jumped
over vases; they peeked out behind
pictures, they fairly flew through the
air until you could not tell which was
the Snow Fairy and which the china
shepherdess.
Jerry and Sally clapped their hands
and laughed until they could laugh no
longer. They forgot all about parties
and new slippers and making snow
men.
Then the strangest thing happened.
They could not see the Snow Fairy at
all. She wasn't there, and If you'll
believe me, the china shepherdess was
standing stiffly in her old spot as
though she'd never had a thought of
moving in her life.
"pear me| said Sally rubbing her
eyes.
"pear mel" said Jerry, rubbing his.
Mother came in soon after that. She
stood smiling down upon them.
"Both you children were sound
asleep on your stools when I was in
here before. Do come and have some
thing good to eat. 1 have little party
all ready for you"
And Sally and Jerry never said a
word about the Snow Fairy. But they
were as cheerful as cherubs the rest

would not seem like noses

Sally had small, white pears on their
faces, and pretty squashed pears at
that! This is what window-glass
does to two children who have the
whooping cough and are standing as
closely as possible against the nearest
thing to getting out-a window.
Jerry dug his fists down into his
pockets and looked as cross as a bear.
Sally blinked very fast to keep the
tears from rolling down her cheeks,
and her two plgtails quiyered unhap-

by his tone that all billiards. were in

shifted Sally, land 1 have a red dress

thought was almost too much, and one
large tear did manage to tumble over

not to see it. Perhaps he was having
trouble with his own eyes, though of
course boys never cry, not even when
tomorrows Christmas and everything
Is spoiled because of whooping cough.
Mother said we should have to have
a party by ourselves and make be-

said Sally.
Jerry grunted. He didn't care much
for this make-believe stuff-too sissi,

open fire." suggested Sally, land tell
stories. I'm tired of looking out of
the window. Perhaps something nice
will happen; who can tell?"
SO the two children settled them
selves in front of the fire. They drew
up two low stools and they each sat
with their elbows on their knees and
their chins in their hands. 1t was very

Day after day the question is being

Why do Tanlac sales keep increasing
every year, when other medicines
seem to have a short-lived popularity
and are then forgotten?
The answer is simple enough. The
test of time has proven to people all
over the American continent that
Tanlae always produces most crafty
ing results and that the remarkable
relief it brings seems to be more per-
manent than ever before believed pos
sible.
Tens of thousands of persons, every

introduced six years ago, report that
they are still enjoying excellent health
and millions of American homes are
