LITERARY road. That was all Roy knew, for a car had struck him. But the driver had turned the car a11d only the tire had st1'uck him and thrown him to the ground. Roy was taken to his own room and was soon sound asleep. Then Nu1'se Madge returned to straighten Mrs. lluds0n's room. As she turned to the dresser she saw the knob of the post. She took it and went to the bed, when the thought came to her that she had nevcr known that the knob came off. All at once a thought came, that per- haps the bonds might be hidden here, So placing her fingers in the re- ceptacle she could 1'eally feel something, but could not hold on to it. Just at this exciting moment, M1'S. Hudson came in and said, Why what in the world are you doing Madge, what are you so excited about? Madge turned to Mrs. Hudson and explained to her what she ex- pected. Mrs. Hudson was as excited as Madge herself. She rang for the butler and asked him to bring something to grab hold of the papers, which were rolled tightly and tied with a string. On opening them, sure enough they proved to be Madge's bonds. No one was more happy than Mrs. Hudson. Dr. Morrison had heard of Roy's mishap and hastened to see his patient, also to see Madge as he had good news to tell her. Mrs. Hud- son left them alone with Roy. Madge, dear, said Dr. Morrison, I have always loved you, as you know, but now you have no excuse to refuse me, as I have just received word -of a large legacy left me from an uncle in England. So now dear, you can't say you and your dear ones will be a burden to drag me down. To his surprise Madge turned to him all aglow with ltappiziess, for he had expected to meet some objections on ace-sunt of Nell. Yes, dear, Madge said, lt shall be as you wish, for l come to you no longer as a burden, for I have found the bonds. Madge and Dr. Morrison were quietly married, and Nell was cured by the wonderful doctor, whom Dr. Morrison had recolnmended. She grew up to be a very sweet young lady. Eloisa, well, she was wiser than 'o marry Jack. She took a fellow that was working his way up in life, and intended to make good. ' Mu1'iel Price, 222. A MODERN 16TH CENTURY ROMANCE.

LITERARY Eloisa, if you saw how beautiful she looked last holiday when she came home. You see Dr. Morrison happened to be at Mrs. Geansons when Madge was going home so he drove her there and she was so late that afternoon because the Doctor drove her way out to Greensville, and when they came in to see ine, Madge looked so beautiful, I just stared and stared at her, and I said, 'Madge what have you done to look so p1'etty?' Then you should have seen how hed she turned and looked own, and I saw the Doctor look at her with such a lonesome look and then he said, 'Yes, Nell she looks beautiful because of her drive to Greensville. That's where you ought to go, the two of you for a monthf That was when he told Madge all about that friend of his, that Doctor. Say Eloisa I sometimes think it's the same Doctor Dad spoke about taking me to. Madge told the Doctor, it couldn't he done yet. You see we h1ven't enough money. Oh, Eloisa, if I only could work and help Madge. Those were very happy days for Madge. Everything was going finely until one day, Mrs. Hudson called Madge from the garden, where Roy and she were loitering. Roy was playing with a little pup that Dr. Morrison had just brought to him. ' Madge came in answer to Mrs. Hudson's call, to write some invi- tations for her. She was busy at this task when she heard a scream from Roy. Madge's heart stood still for a moment before she could rush from the room. She realized it was Roy that had cried and looked towards the garden, then toward the gate, as she saw a car stop and heard excited voices near by. She flew to the gate, and there to her horror, was Roy, with a cut in his head. The blood streaming from it. She was horrified for a moment. then rushed to Mrs.Hudson's room, looking for her. Some one turned down the bed clothes, and urged her to lay the child down, which she did, Madge soon same to her senses and was the practical nurse. When the strange doctor came she had done everything she could for the little fellow. He was still uncon- scious ibut the doctor said it was not serious, and he would soon be around, only a slight cut. As the doctor worked on Roy, he had moved him to the foot of the bed, where more light came from the window. Madge unconsciously in her agitation, took hold of the big post at the head of the bed. Wlieii the doctor pronounced it not serious, she dropf ped her hand suddenly and the top of the post dropped to the floor. Mechanically she picked it up, thinking she had broken it, but was sur- prised to see a thread on the wood, as though it had screwed on. She was more than surprised, because as she looked she recognized the bed as the old four poser bed belonging to her mother, the one her father had died in. Just then thevdoctor called to her to undress Roy. So she laid the knob on the dresser near by. K M w In a short time Roy had regained consciousness, and told how his little puppy had run out of the gate and, as he wouldn't ,lose him for any- thing, for Dr. Morrison would think he neglected him and didn't appre- ciate his gift, Roy ran after the dog. He ran out of the gate and into the
