Saved My Life
With Eatonic
Says Now
"I was nearly dead until I found
Eatonic and I can truly say It saved
my life. It is the best stomach medl--cine
ever made," writes Mrs. Ella
Smith.
Acid stomach causes awful misery
Tvhlch Eatonic quickly gets rid of by
taking up and carrying out the acidity
and gases which prevent good diges
tion. A tablet taken after mcala brings
quick relief. Keeps the stomach
healthy and helps to prevent the many
ills so liable to arise from excess acid.
Don't suffer from stomach miseries
when you can get a big box of Eatonic
for a trifle with your druggist's guar
tntee. Women

ONWIE looked down to tho
busy street, through a blur
of 'Bnowflakcs. At least,
Connlo told herself deter
minedly that sn.owflnkes
were accountable for the
blur; then, sho wiped her
eyes.
"It's Merry Chrlstmns
time," Connlo said to her old yellow
cat. "Who ever heard of Christmas
without the Merry? So cheer up,
Prowler, and let's Join In tho game."
At tho little "Shoppe" Just around
the corner sho stood longest of nil.
And all at once Into Connie's bright
eyes came a speculative light. The
window was full of small framed pic
tures, most of them with tho Christ
mas spirit. Thero were the usual
night-clad children looking up broad
chimneys, there were landscapes of
snowy ileitis with distant windows
alight Connie studied them nil; she
was seeing in vision the winding hill
road of the place where she had spent
her last summer vacation; the church
with its swaying bell in the Btueple,
tho queer little bridge over the deep
nnd beautiful stream a bridge with
seats along Its sides where countless
lovers had sat nnd courted. The old
lady who hnd been Connie's volunteer
hostess told her, with the pink coming
and going In her withered cheeks,
about the lovers. For It wns there
that her own husband had nsked, and
had been answered his question. The
way that Connie had chnnced to visit
this beautiful country place nnd to
meet there the dear old lady was quite
remarkable chance too. She hnd
started out on the trolley enr for one
restful dny In the country and had
chosen this stntlon at random. And
when she had stopped to admire the
wonderful roses In the old lady's gar
denand they hnd spent some agree
able time together the old lady, Mrs.
Martha Snow by name, had said:
"My dear ! Why don't you come on
and visit me for n week or two? I'm
lonely for n young sweet face."
And Connie had gone, thnt was all.
Hnlf her later water colors had been
glorified memories of that delightful
visit, flow Connie had n new inspira
tion. She would paint the queer little
bridire over an Icy stream, and Its
seats should be covered with snow.
She could fancy just how the trees
would look waving nnked branches.
And she'd pnlnt the church In the hoi
low with lights In the windows gleam
Ing over the snow nnd the bell In the
tower n-swnylntf for Christmas.
Oh, Connie was very happy as sho
hurried home to hef nttlc, but thero,
In the temperamental way artists
have, she begnn to draw Instead,
working In a fever of enthusiasm
the Hitting room of the old house
where she had been a guest, with
Mnrtha Snow herself seated In the
firelight, Just half of her peaceful pro
file showing beneath Its halo of white
hair.
There was holly above the old fire
place and n boy's stocklhg hnnglng'l
there. Connie never stopped until she
hnd completed the picture, then ran
with It breathlessly to the "Shoppe"
around the corner.
"Yes, we will display It," a smiling
old mnn agreed.
The picture sold. Of courso you
were prepared for thnt; but the
strange part was thnt beforo It wns
sold Connie hnd added her other views
to the "Shoppe" window, nnd her dis
cerning purchnser had bought them
every one. While the other Chrlst
mns studios plenscd him not at nil ;
Connie could not count tin number of
times thnt sho pnssed thnt window,
first closing her eyes childishly In the
hope that her picture would not be
thero when sho opened them. And It
wns the dny but one before Chrlstmns
thnt the "Shoppe" manager seeing her
peeking about, beckoned her Inside.
"You hnve pleased one of our best
customers," snld the mnnnper, "nnd
when we mentioned your pccullnr con
dition of sale he suggested talking the
matter over with you thnt you might
both come to n sntlsfnctory bargain.
Our customer thinks thnt. you possess
wonderful nrtlstlc nblllty. Wo have
Given him your nddress."
"Is he," nsked Connie fnlterlngly,
"n phllnnthroplst?"
Some wny she did not wnnt her pur
chnser to be Just n phllnnthroplst nnd
spoil nil future nmbltlous hope.
"Mr. Armstrong Is n mnn who usunl
ly drives a pretty shrewd bargain,"
the "Shoppe" mannger snld.
So, though It was early nfternoon,
Connie hurried home to turn on n gns

"Your sketches hnve for mo a

"You havo drawn remarkably some
of tho happiest scenes of my boyhood.

business absorbs much of humnn kind
noss I am afraid, and sometimes a

grateful to you for awakening In me
that tenderness which I had almost

The man's voice broke huskily. lie

hnd given It.
"Thnt," snld Hubert Armstrong, "Is

Tho man nodded hastily.
"I Bee," he said, "It Is quite slmplo

Tho mnn spoke abruptly.

"Awl you live nlone?"
