I had been up for nights with a poeumonia patient. 1 tried to beg off, when Dr. Hearn telephoned that he wanted me, but he was insistent. “No one else will do,” he said. “I i meed some one who has imagination.” I saw his reasons for wanting me ‘' as soon as I came into the big room said. and looked at the little woman lying among the pillows. The bed was so big and she was so tiny that she was almost lost in all | the whiteness. There were pink silk gurtains coming down from the ma- hogany canopy, but even these gave | no color to the thin face with the big eyes. “He doesn't love me any more,” was the statement made by the pale lips, as I bent over her. “Oh, I'm very sure he does,” 1 said soothingly, “but he can't tell you.” “Can't he?” she asked eagerly. “How do you know?” “The fairies told me,” I said, "nov you go to sleep and don't think m more about it.” He gripped the arms of his cnun with tense fingers. “I haven't told a soul,” he said, “but every ome will know, presently. I am a ruined man.” “You mean that you have lost your money?” “Yes.” “Go to her tomorrow morning, nfl | tell her,” I sald. “And kil her? She has naven known what it was to live without | luxury. And when the truth comes | out, I shan’t have a cent.” “You have youth and strength,” I He drew a long breath, as if he squared his shoulders to meet the future. “And you have love,” 1 continued. “But you won't have love long unless you tell your wife the truth.” “You think—" “I know,” I sald firmly. “She loves you too much not to suspect that you are hiding something from her. She fancies that you have lost your love for her—and it is killing her.” He began to defend himself eagerly. ! “But it would kill her to know the truth. Why, she's aiways had every- | | thing she wanted. How can I ask her to share poverty—she'd better die.” 1 saw then to what a pass things lnd come with him, “She is going to live,” I said, “be- e — I saw at once that she was like l ! child, and 50 I talked more about S*USe You are going to belleve her | fairles, and how they always made something better than you think her now.

And she isn't, very strong. She is in a neurasthenic ; condition, and I thought your whole- someness was what she needed. That's why I got you here.” W the husband that night. He was tall and dark and strong, and when he bent over my little pale lady and kissed her it seemed as if she “Oh!” She Cried, “I'm Going to Get Better Right Away.” must gain help from his vivid per- sonality, But she turned from him, —don’t,” she walled. He drew back and I saw the des- peration in his eyes. “What shall 1 do with her, nurse?’ was the ques- tion those eyes seemed to ask, though bis lips did not move. My eyes answered his, and I gave & little nod, which seemed to reassure bim. “All right, dearest,” he said, “but tomorrow morning 1 shall come again, and then—you'll let me kiss you?" She looked up at him “What makes you sharply. say that?” sh { asked, 1 interposed. “It will be the happy ending of the fairy tale.” She put her hands over her face and began to cry, weakly. “There can never be a hlnpy ending,” she wailed, I motioned to him to go away, and It took me an hour to get her quiet. 1 gave her an alcohol rub and a glass of warm milk and put hot water bags around her, and still she shivered and shook, and at last I thought J'd try menta| ggestion. So 1 took both of her hands in mine and said quietly: “Now you are going to sleep.” “How can [ sleep,” che cried, “when he loves some oue else?” Then I saw what was troubling her and T bent over her and whispered: “He’s under a spell and you must belp him to break the charm.” She sat up in bed. “How can 1 help?” she asked, feverishly. “You must kiss him three times in the morning snd every time you must say ‘I love you.'” “And then will he be just the same?” she acked, “as he used to be when ke wasn’t hiding anything from me?" “He will be just the same.” in a little while she was asleep lnd there was the faintest shadow of &' smile on ber lips. ' ‘Then 1 went to look for her hus- band and found him sitting in fromt | of a dying fire in the library. I sat down opposite him and asked abruptly: “What are you keeping from her?” For a3 moment he stared at me, and i Careless Omission Costly. A “monkey-wrench” mechanic will often omit placing cotter pins or re- taining wires in the crown nuts in the motor transmission case or differential bousing. Should ome of these nuts shake off it will more than lkely get into the gear mesh and break up the ' whole mechanism. A thin man is in difficulties for lfe, her fgure to suit—Exchange. “Please | down under the strain of doubt?” | The next morning my patient was awake early. “Do you think it will really break the charm if I kiss him three times?” was the first question | she asked as I bent over the bed. “Surely. And now while I am comb- ing your hair I will tell you a story.” | She had wonderful hair, fair and | rippling, ke ripe wheat in a fleld when ine wind blows over it. 1 put it up for her in soft puffs and tled a |rl!flmn around it of palest pink, and | while T worked I talked. | “Once upon a time,” 1 sald, “there was a prince who married a lovely princess. Now the princess had al- | ways lived in a beautiful castle and { the prince took her to another castle just as beautiful. And the princess :had everything that heart could wish.” “Oh, you mean me,” she breathed and her eyes were shining; “tell me some more, nurse.” “And one day the prince learned : that a wicked wizard had put a charm on him, and that he would have to leave the beautiful castle and go and live in a litt'e, little hut, 'way back in ! the woods, and that he would have to work until his hands were hard and | his back was bent. And so he didn’t | dare tell the princess, because he knew if he told her she would want to go, too, and she would have to wear shabby clothes, and sweep the little hut, and prepare the plain food, and perhaps her lovely hands would get hard and her slender shoulders wonld also bend with the burdens, So the prince kept silent about the spell that was to come upon him, and the princess grew jealous, and said to her- self, ‘He doesn’t love me any more.’” She clapped her hands. “Just as 1 , sald it.” “Yes. And she wondered if the prince loved any one else, and she wondered and wondered until she fell sick, and—and the prince, looking at her, thought his heart would break, but still he didn't dare to tell her about the hut in the forest.” 1 had finished tying the pink rib- bons and she reached up and caught | my hands in hers. *Nurse, nurse,” she gasped, “was that all—oh, was that all—that he had just lost his old money ?" And when I told her the truth she cried in my arms. Then she sat up and made me put on her prettiest pink komono, and she walked weakly from the bed to a big chair in the window. And when he came in she held out her hand to him, | “Oh,” she crled, “I'm going to get trong right away—and then we'll go nd live in the hut in the forest.” | He looked at her with puzzled eyes, until 1 eald: “I told her a fairy m.!

Willie was a smart boy, and ambi- tious. His first job was a post in a local bank “Well, Willle,” asked his uncle one day; “bow are you getting on in busi- ness? 1 suppose you will soon be manager ?" “Yes, uncle,” Willle replied; already a draught clerk.” “A draught clerk! Good boy; and | what are your duties?” “I open and shut the windows ac- | cording to orders,” sald Willle, “and _close the doors after people that ! 'leave 'em open.”—Ideas. Cod Had an Appetite.
