By t#/ time they had reached the little bush where the path turned off to that corner of - Fairyland where Mister Rubadub lived. "You'll feel much better. when you get the burrs and tangles brush- ed out of you, Marky," said Nick kindly. "Rubadub won't hurt you. Then you can go and get a good square meal in the Land-Where- Spring-Is-Coming. Everybody feels sort of blue when he's hungry." Suddenly Marky began to grin. Then he began to laugh, Fe laughed 80 hard that he couldn't get his breath long enough to tell them what it was all about, until they had reached the place where Mister Rub- adub was waiting. "What's so funny?" asked the fairyifian curiously. "Won't you tell a do the things other : Rd, that is, vi the line of Judith picked up a string of amber beads Lind had, placed on the stand near the bed. There was also a pair of ear rings of the same limpid yel- low substance. "Wild honey! Drops wild honey!" Judith exclaimed in a whisper. "Just the color of you!" Lind looked at her curiously. "You may have the beads, Judith," she said on an impulse. Judith laughed. It was a rich laugh, from her deep young lungs. "My, wouldn't I look funny _ with them on! Specially, cleaning the stables. No, thanks. They were made for you, Mics Archer." When the girl was asleep beside her, Lind, restless in fer new sur- roundings, iinelt at her window and looked out into the night. There was still a pale glow from the sunset, and "That reminds me," Caleb Gare began again. "How did you make out with those furs you sent to the Siding? Grin! buy 'em up?" "Ya-a.

He says: "The new Erbac dis- covery has certainly been worth a million to me. I éannot express too much thankfulness for it. At 651 I seemed pretty much "all in" and had felt badly for several years--now, thanks to Erbac, I feel like a boy again!" The simple treatment mentioned above has won the highest praise from those who have used it to ward off a feeling of weakness, lack of ambition and vigor, loss of nerve force and signs of approaching old age. Put up in tablets, plainly wrap- ped and convenient for easy home use, the treatment is the recently an- nounced discovery called Double Strength Erbac.

But many a better man had been glad to part with a right hand in certain exigencies. There was the little matter of Bjorn Aronson's slight dishonesty, for in- stance, that was not generally known in the community---that little dis- crepancy in Bjorn's moral balance that hurt Fusi more than any other thing on earth.

Amelia begged the Teacher to overlook the irregularity-----Skull, the Icelander, must be accommodated. The great loft was curtained off into three compartments--the bed rooms of ail the children and such infrequent gubsts as chanced to come. In the room below Caleb and Amelia slept; their bed was a cabi- net during the day, folded up against the wall. The floor of the loft was compos- ed of pine boards scrubbed white and smooth.

Amelia, she was a soft fool, thank God: Not many women would be so conveniently sentimental and self-sacriticing for the sake of a son born out of wedlock--and that son a man grown, and a stranger to his own mother. Well, if she was loth to have Mark Jordan learn of his parentage, Caleb Gare would not reveal it to him---providing that Amelia kept her place and did not force Rim to. . . .Mark Jordan was a fine young fellow, too, according to Bart Nugent. Bart had kept track of him very well, in the town where Caleb was unable to do his own spy- ing. The good fathers in the mis- sion had taken Amelia's story for truth, and Mark had grown up with the solid idea that he was the last of a family of saints, There was a joke for you! The war had saved the boy trom the priesthood, Bart Nugent had thought, and it had also radically al- tered his philosophy. He had al- ways been interested in architecture, and had gone into it seriously after the war. Bart had written that a nervous disprder had lately develpp- ed in Mark Jordan from over-work, and that he might take to farming for a spell.

It is impossible to be energetic if your blood is thin and weak, or if your nerves are frayed or shattered. You cfnnot compete with others if you do not get refreshing sleep at night, or if your appetite is poor or you are losing weight.
