tHe quiver On the broad veranda of the Children’s Hospital lay Sally Ann on her little white cot. It was very tiresome to lie perfectly stiil all day, but it was the only thing that would help the poor, twisted bac: get well. Sally Ann looked at Camille, who lay on the next cot with her arms helpless in bandages. Camille was gazing lovingly at her teddy-bear, which was tied to the foot of the cot by a pink ribbon, an.l the battered teddy-bear smiled back with all the love his shoe button eyes could express. Sally Ann often made up fairy stones to tell Camille’s teddy-bear, and when she finished, Camille would a’waj's say, “Tedda, he lika that stora vera much.” Beside Camille sat Jenny Wrenn in her wheel-chair. Jenny’s back was badly twisted and the hump between her shoulders sometimes hurt terribly. At other times, though, Jenny was very gay and amusing. She would draw funny pictures of fairies and elves for Camille and Sally Ann to make them laugh. Next to Jenny lay Captain Jim, who wore away the long hours with a little toy sailboat, which a visitor had given him. He would lie by the hour, turning the boat over and over with his thin little hands. Forgotten were the plaster cast and the weight on his hips, and Captain Jim would go a-sailing on far-away seas in his brave anJ gallant ship. June, 1921 Price, 30 Cents THE WATER-ELF
