Several years ago I was obliged to go
l>u business during the autumn to a
seaport town. One day while waiting,
in order to kill time, I visited the life
saving station. Just before reaching it
I passed n boxlike affair built on n
dime, measuring about sis feet by four.
Taeiug the ocean was a low door and
beside it a window, through which
peered the saddest face I ever saw? the
face of a woman. She was still young
and attractive in appearance, though
her hair was white as snow. Sitting
by the window, her arm resting on the
Bill, she was peering out to sea as
though looking for a ship.
At the life saving station I was told
that her name was Caroline Owens.
Ten years before her lover, John Tre
vor, a sailor, had started In September
on the schooner Mary Deane to make
a short voyage from which he was to
have returned for Christmas and their
wedding. Caroline prepared her wed
ding outfit? it could scarcely be dig
nified by the name of trousseau- and
Christmas festivities were also arrang
ed for. but on Christmas eve a ship
came In with the news that the Mary
Deane bad gone ashore In a storm and
every man on board had perished.
It was a sad Christmas for every one
in the neighborhood. Caroline was
stunned. She did not weep. She sim
ply looked out of her eyes at vacancy
and said nothing. Every day she would
go to the beach, and, stand lug on a
dune Just above the life saving station,
peer out to sea. In storm and sunshine
she was there at least once a day, and
when the spring came on and the
weather was pleasant she would spend
most of the day there. Then the kind
hearted life savers built her the little
shelter and invited her to take posses
sion of It.
Some of the men considered her as
having gone daft at the death of her
lover, while others thought her mental
ly sound. 1 was told by one of them,
Markam by name, who in confidence
confessed to me that he had fallen in
love with her and would gladty marry
her. though he had never mentioned
the subject to her, that every Decern
ber she became possessed with the idea
that her lover would return on Christ
mas eve. She had told him there was a
feeling within her too strong to be re
sisted that Trevor was alive, wander
ing here and there, mostly on the sea;
that there was some reason why he
could not return to her, but this reason
would iu time be removed. This most
persons considered a mauia induced by
the shock she had suffered.
I often passed her sentry bos and
grow more and more impressed with
the sad but hopeful face always peer
ing out to sea. When I went away 1
left with Markham, the man who had
given me his confidence, some money,
charging him to tell her that an un
known person had given it to htm to
be used for a wedding present on the
return of her lover. I did this hoping
It might give her pleasure. She was
convinced that Trevor would come
back, and I believed it might be best
to foster this belief.
I returned to the city, autumn faded
into winter and the snows came down.
One morning a man appeared at my
oflice whom I did not recognize for a
moment, but when I did I saw that he
was Markbam.
"What brings yon here?" I asked,
taking his rough hand in mine.
"There's a wedding on," he replied.
"A wedding?"
"Yes; Carrie Owens'. I've come to
buy the gift."
"And yon?"
"Oh, no, no; better than that." There
was a double expression of pain aud
Joy in his face and in his voice.
"Come, sit down here and tell me."
"You remember the storm of the 30th
of November?" he said. "Well, that
was the worst I've ever experienced.
Carrie Owens spent the day in her box.
The next day would be the 1st of De
cember, and that was the month she
was always the worst. I tried several
times to Induce her to go home, but she
wouldn't. Just as it was getting dark
I looked up at the box and saw a man
coming from behind It. He was evi
dently coming for Carrie, for his eyes
were on the box. Suddenly he rounded
to the front and stood before her. Then
I heard a shriek and knew that Jack I
Trevor had come at last."
He went on to tell me that Trevor
had been injured In the head at the
time of the wreck, had been thrown
ashore and had wandered about with
out any remembrance as to who he
was. Finally, when ill In a hospital, a
surgeon had discovered a displacement
of a small piece of his skull, bad tre
panned him and brought back his
memory. Then he had made for home
and Caroline. "He didn't come by sea.
os she expected," added my informant,
"but he came all the same."
He bore an Invitation for me to the
wedding, and I accepted. On Christ
mas eve I arrived at the cottage of
Caroline Owens' parents and was in
troduced to Caroline herself. So preoc
cupied had she been when I was pass
ing her b?x that she did not remember
to have ever seen me.
Of course both she and Trevor bore
marks of the hard lot that had befallen
them, but their faces were beaming
*vith happiness, and every one of tha
wedding party was smiling. 1 pitied
Markham, the poor fellow whose love
had been but a one sided affair. He had
brought my present as well as one
from himself and before I left I handed
him a check for the bride. I have spent
many a happy Christmas eve, but none
where I felt and saw about me so much
Joy as in this.

Whole Foot Nothing But Proud Flesh
? Tried Different Physicians and
All Kinds of Ointments? Could
Walk Only With Crutches? Ohio
Man Says :
" CUTICURA REMEDIES
THE BEST ON EARTH"
"In the year 1899 the sido of my
right foot was cut off from the little
toe down to the heel, and the physician
who had charge of me
was trying to bcw up
the sicle of my foot,
but with no success.
When he found out
that wouldn't work,
he began trying to
heal the wound with
all kinds of ointment,
.until at last my whole
foot and way up
above mv calf was
nothing Dut proud
? flesh. I suffered un
told agonies for four years, and tried
different physicians and all kinds of oint
ments. I could walk only with crutches.
It is sixteen months ago since I began
using Cuticura Soap and Ointment for
my limb and foot. The first two
months the Cuticura Remedies did not
seem to work, but I kept on using them
both. In two weeks afterwards I saw a
change in my limb. Then I began using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment often dur
ing the day and kept it up for seven
months, when my limb was healed up
just the same as if I never had trouble.
"It is eight months now since I
stopped using Cuticura Remedies, tho
best on God s earth. I am working
at the present day, after five years
of suffering. The cost of Cuticura
Ointment and Soap was only 86;
but the doctors' bills were more like
8600. You can publish my name and
refer any one to write to me about
Cuticura Remedies. I will answer all
letters if postage is enclosed. John M.
Lloyd, 718 S. Arch Ave., Alliance, Ohio,
