"Wa'al," said Mrs. Cullom, "it seems to me as if David did take care on him after all, fur 's spendin' money was concerned." "That's the •way it looks to me," said Mrs. Bixbee, - "but David likes to think t'other. He meant to be awful mean, an' he was—as mean as he could --but the fact is, he didn't really know how..

I've laid 1 some things out on the bed, if you should happen to want any of 'em," and she hurried out of the room. CHAPTER XXIII David's house stood about a hundred feet back from the street, facing the east. The main body of the house was cf two stories (through which ran a deep- bay in front), with man- sard roof. On the south of the main body of the house were two stories of the wing, in which were the "set - tin' room," Aunt Polly's room, axld, above, David's quarters. Ten min- utes or -so before . one o'clock John rang the bell at the front door. "Sairy's busy," said Mrs. Bixbee apologetically as she let him in, "an' so I come to the door myself." r "Thank you very much," said John. "Mr. Harem told me to conte dyer a little before one, but perhaps II ought to have waited a few minutes Ion ger." "No, it's all right," she replied, "for mebbe you'd like to wash an' fix up 'fore dinner, so I'll jest show ye where to," and she led. the way upstairs and into the "front parlor bedroom." •- "There," she said, "make yourself comf'table, an' dinner '11 be ready in about ten minutes." For a moment John mentally rub- bed his eyes. Then he turned and caught both of Mrs. Bixbee's hands and logked at her, speechless. When he found words he said: "I don't' know what to say nor how to thank you properly. I don't believe you know how kind this is." "Don't say nothin' about it," - she protested, .but with a look of great satisfaction. "I done it jest t' re- lieve my mind, because ever sence you fust come, I ben worryin' over your bein' at that nasty tavern," and she made a motion to go. "You and your brother," said John earnestly, still holding her hands, "have made me a gladder and happier man this Christmas day than I have been for a very long time." "I'm glad on't;" she said heartily, "an' I hope you'll be comf'table an' contented here. I must go no* an' help Sairy dish up. Come down to the settin' - room when you're ready," and she gave his hands - a little squeeze. - "Aunt Po—; I beg pardon, Mrs. Bixbee," said John, moved by a sud- den impulse, "do you think you could find it in your heart to complete my happiness by -giving me a kiss? It's Christmas, you know," headded smil- ingly. ` Aunt Polly colored to the roots of her hair.

The poor fellow's life during the weeks which he had lived in Home- ville had been utterly in contrast with ( any previous experience. Nevertheless 1 he had tried to make the best of it, i and to endure the monotony, the dull- ' nes5, the nrntite lack of companionship ` and entertainment with what philoso- phy he could muster. The hours spent in the office were the best part of the day. He could manage to find occupation for all of them, though a village' bank is not usually a scene of active bustle. litany of the ,people who did business there diverted him somewhat, and most of them seemed never too much in. a hurry to stand around and talk the sort of thing that interested them. After John had got acquainted with his duties and the people he came in contact with, David gave less personal attention to the affairs of the bank; but he was in and. out frequently during theday, and rarely failed to interest his cashier with his observations and remarks. But the long winter evenings had been very bad. After supper, a meal which revolted' every sense, there had been as many bouts to be got through with as he found wakeful, an empty stomach often adding to the number of thein, ,and the only resource for passing .the time. had been reading, which had often been Well-nigh im- possible for sheer physical discom- fort.

As from the depths of a spacious lounging chair he surveyed his new surroundings, and contrasted them with those from which he had been rescued out of pure kindness, his heart was full, and it can hardly be imputed - to him as a weakness that for a :.moment his eyes filled with tears of gratitude and happiness— no less. Indeed, there were -four happy peo- ple at David's table that Christmas day. Aunt Polly had "smartened up" Mrs. Cullom with collar and cuffs, and in various ways which the mind of man comprehendeth not in detail; and there had been some arranging of her hair as well, which altogether had so transformed and transfigured her that John thought that be could hardly have known her for the forlorn .crea- ture whom he had encountered in the morning. And as. he looked at the still • fine eyes, large and brown, and shining for the first time in many a year with a soft light of happiness, he felt that he could understand how it was that Billy P, had, married the village girl. Mrs. Bixbee was_ grand in black silk and lace collar fastened with. a shell -cameo pin. not quite as large as a saucer, and John caught the sparkle of a diamond on her plump left hand—David's Christmas gift-. with regard to which .she had spoken apologetically to Mrs. Cullom: "I told David that I was ever so much obliged to him, but I didn't want a dimun's more'n a cat wanted a flag, an' I'' thought it was jest throwin' - away money.: But he would have it—said I c'd sell it an' keep out the poorhouse some day, mebbe." David had not made much change in his usual raiment, but he was shav- ed to the blood, and his round red face shone with soap and satisfac- tion. As he tucked his napkin into his shirt collar, Sairy brought in the tureen of oyster soup, and he remark- ed, as he took his first spoonful of the stew, that he was "hungry 'nough t' eat a graven imidge," a condition that John was able to ,Sympathize with after his two days of fasting on crackers and such provisions as he could buy at Purse's. It was, on the whole, he reflected, the most enjoyable dinner that he ever ate. Never was such a turkey; and to see it give way under David's skillful knife—wings, drumsticks, second joints, side bones, breast—was an elevating and mem- orable experience. And such potatoes, mashed in cream; such boiled onions, turnips, Hubbard squash, succotash, stewed tomatoes, celery, cranberries, "currant jell!" Oh! and to "top off" with, a • mince pie to ' die for and a pudding (new to ,John but you try it some time) of steamed Indian meal and fruit, with a sauce of cream sweetened with shaved maple sugar. "What'll you have?" said David to Mrs. Cullom, "dark 'meat? i4 white meat?" 1 "Anything," she replied Meekly, "I'm not . partic'ler. Most an part of a turkey '11 taste good, T 'guess.." "All right," said David. "Don't i trAmensmimmdmom Tells Dyspeptics What to Eat Avoid Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach, Heartburn, Gas On Stomach, Etc. Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble, say medical authorities, are due nine times out of ten to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Chronic "acid atonlaeh" is exceedingly dangerous. and' sufferers should do either one of two things. Either they can go on a limited and often disagreeable diet, avoiding foods, that disagree with thein, that irritate the stomach and lead to excess acid secretion or they can eat as they please in reason and make it a practice to counteract the effect of the harmful acid and prevent the formation of gas, sourness or premature fermentation by the use of a little Bsurated Magnesia at their meals. There is probably no better, safer or more reliaable stomach antiacid than Bisurated Magnesia and it is widely used for this pur- pose. It bas no direct action on the stomach and is not a digestent. But a teaspoonful of the powder or a couple of five grain tablets taken in a little water with the food will neutralize" the excess acidity which may be present and prevent ifs further formation.. This removes the whole cause of the trouble and the meal digests naturally and health- fully without need of pepsin pills or art.

'How fer you,` John ? little o' both, eh?" and he heaped the plate till our friend beg- ged him to keep something for him- self. ` . "Little too much is jest right," he asserted. When David had filled the °plates and handed them along—Sairy was for bringing in an taking out; they did their own helping to vegetables and "passin? "—he hesitated a mom- ent in the direction of the kitchen door. "What's the matter?" asked Mrs. Bixbee in surprise, "Where you go- he r, . "Woodshed," said David. "Woodshed!" she exclaimed, rnak- ing as if to rise and follow. "You set still," said David. "Some - thin' I fergot." "What on earth!" she exclaimed, with an air of annoyance and bewil- derment. "What do you want in the woodshed? Can't you set down an' let Sairy git it for - ye?" "No," he asserted with' a grin. "Sairy might squash it.,. It\must be putty meller by this time." And out he went. "Manners!" ejaculated Mrs. Bixbee. "You'll think (to John) we're reg'ler heathin." "I guess not," said John, smiling and much amused. Presently Sairy appeared with four tumblers which she distributed, and was followed by David bearing a. bottle. He seated himself and began a struggle to unwire the same with°i an ice -pick. Aunt Polly Ieaned for- ward with a look of perplexed curi- osity. - "What you got there?" she asked. "Vewve Clikot's universal an' suv'- rin remedy," said David, reading the label and bringing the corners of his eye and mouth almost together in a wink to John, "fer toothache, earache, burns, scalds, warts, dispepsy, fa'lln' o' the hair, windgall, ringbone, spavin, disapp!inted affections, an' pips in hens," and out came the cork with a "wop," at which both the ladies, even Mrs. Cullom, jumped and "cried out. "David Harems" declared his sis- ter with conviction, "I believe ,thet that's a bottle of champagne." "If it ain't," said David, pouring into his tuinbler, "I ben. swindled out o' four shillin'," and he passed the bottle to John, who held it up ten- tatively, looking at Mrs. Bixbee. "No, thank ye," she said with a little toss of the head, "I'm a son o' temp'rence. I don't believe," she re- marked to Mrs: Cullom, "thet that bottle ever cost less 'n a dollar." At 1 which remarks David apparently "swaltered somethin' the wrong way" and fir a moment or two was unable to proceed with his dinner. Aunt Polly looked at him suspiciously. It was her experience that, in her inter- course with her brother,` he often laughed utterly without reason --so far as she could see. "I've always heard it was dreadful expensive," remarked Mrs. Cullom. "Let/me give you some," said John. reaching toward her with thebottle.

You perhaps thought it was a pretty long - mes- sage to send by wire. Yet the telegrams received in - a single day -in The Toronto Star office average about 35,000 words. That is,` there would be three hundred and fifty mes- .sages, each averaging a hundred words. Seventeen telegraph wires running into a special room in The Star office are required to - transact the telegiaph business of - Thirty-five thousand words, the number telegraphed to The Star every day, is the number ofwordsin a good-sized book. Not all of these thirty-five thousand words appear in the paper—for one rea- son, it would take - too long to read them. But a staff oftrained editors selects, condenses, and revises these despatches until, in the finished paper, there is- presented, in the briefest and brightest possible form, all the news of all the world. - In developing telegraph and cable services The Star has been a pioneer. It has never been satisfied with the telegraph and cable services received by it in common with other newspapers, excellent though those services are. It receives exclusively a leased -wire service of the United Press Association, one of the greatest news - gathering organizations of the world. It also has exclusive arrangements with leading newspapers of America to receive from there their complete cable services. Thus alone gives it a staff of exclusive correspondents which would enable it to give com- plete world service even if they co-operative news, paper services went out of business to -morrow. " In addition to all this, it has its own exclusive staff of telegraph and special correspondents. . More than half of the 35,000 'words telegraphed daily to The Star are EXCLUSIVE TO THE STAR. This explains why its news services are regarded as unique in Canada. It is one of the many reasons why The Star has come to be recognized as CANADA'S GREATEST NEWSPAPER The Star is always in the forefront of progressive movements—supreme in sports—a believer in the saving grace of humor_a LIVE newspaper informing, entertaining, stimulating, and containing more and better illustrations than any other daily newspaper in Canada.
