there can be no reason why
ladies should have to suffer with
headaches and neuralgia, espec-
Europe. Whether they are re-
vealing the latest discoveries in
science, or describing great in-
dustrial achievements, or telling
of their wanderings in strange
corners of the world, or feeding
the imagination with rare stories
they are giving Companion read-
ers the best of themselves.
Seven serials at least will be
published by the Companion hi
1913, and nearly 200 other com-
plete stories, in addition to some
50 special contributions, and a
treasure-box of sketches, anec-
dotes, expert advice as to ath-
letic sports, ideas for handy ser-
vice around the house, and so
forth—long hours of companion-

ty-seven years ago.
With the baking finished, Betty left
.he kftchen and went into her bed-
•oom. She wanted nothing so much
is to be alone in that room that had
>een her father’s—in that room where
(he kept carefully preserved the wed-
ling clothes she had lavished so much
;are upon four years ago. These
fiothes and the faded photograph of
lim Busby on her bureau were all
;hat were left her of her romance.
With these she would spend her
Jhristmas eve, would live over again
die courting days. And Jim should be
there with her. That would be her
Christmas.
With care she took each garment
from its wrappings in the bureau
Irawer and spread them on the bed.
The pretty weeding dress which
Sarah Glover had helped her make
—yes, she would put it on tonight just
she had .planned %o four years ago.
Jim would like her to do that; he had
always liked to see her prettily
dressed, and maybe Jim might see
her from the spirit world tonight.
As she fastened the gown she al-
most forgot that Jim could not be
there, that it was all
a make-believe. As
she stood before the
mirror the smile of
four years ago came
back again. She noted,
the color in her
cheeks; it was like a
bridal blush. •
A rap at the door
dispelled the illusion;
she had permitted her-j
self for a few mo-.;
meats. She could noti
go to the door in that;
dresB. The caller
would have to wait, but '<
he did not wait. She heard the door
swing, a heavy step on the floor, and1
a voice—oh! such a familiar voice—
calling Betty.
“Jim! My Jim!" she answered, as
she pulled open the door of her bed-
room and sprang into the arms of a
strong, bronzed s&llor.
Far Into the night she listened to
Jim’s tale of shipwreck on the Pata-
gonian coast, of the months and years
of practical captivity before he could
get back to a seaport.
"And now,” he said, *T am home to
claim my Christmas bride.’’
"And I have our Christmas baking
done,” said Betty.

wonderf u 1
dream I dream-
ed, I thought
that the Christ-
mas Tree
Grew fairer and
fairer until
seemed no
fairer a thing
could be;
And all of the
children they
call ed my
name and all of
the children smiled.
And suddenly then to my heart there
came the faith of a little child,
And going and coming and coming
and going,
With drummers a-drumming and
buglers a-blowing,
I marched with the children of all
the lands, of all the years and
times,
And laughed as we ran with our
close-linked hands and chanted
our world-old rhymes.

Valuable Gift.
“Talking about Christmas-boxes,"
remarked a commercial traveler, "the
one I got last year would be hard to
beat. Our guv’nor never gave us a
Christmas-box, so you can imagine
how surprised we were when he told
us all to go into his office, where he
sat with a pile of envelopes in his
hand.
" ‘Gentlemen,’ said he, ‘I Intend to
give each of you a Christmas present
this year. These envelopes contain
something valuable, which I hope you
will make good use of.’
"Of course we thanked him and
marched out, thinking that he was a
good sort, after all. And what do you
think was in the envelopes?”
"A check?”
"No; it was a confounded prescrip-
tion for the cure of indigestion!"

“I suppose you feel very thankful to

ter to Uncle ’IJjah’s little boy.
“Naw, sah,” replied the piccaninny
"Uncle tole dis chile ter be than’fu!

house dore on de jar.”
“I want to thank you trom the
bottom of my heart.” wrote C.
C. Rader of Lewisburg:, W. Va.,
“for the wonderful double bene-
fit I got from Eleetric Bitters, in
curing me of both a severe case
of stomach trouble and of rheum-
atism, from which I had beep an
almost helpless sufferer for"“ten
years. It suited my case as
though made just for me.” For
dyspeosia, indigestion, jaundice,
and to rid the system of kidney
poisons that cause rheumatism.

Eyes Sunken With Pain.
Three years ago I had a very
bad spell of neuralgia which
caused my eyes to become sunk-
