RESTORED
ON CHRISTMAS
MORNING
By ALBERT KENYON
"Yon must get well for Christum#,'
?aid Ethel.
"Why especially for Christmas?"
"Think what a welcome gift your re
covery would be to Mildred."
1 made no reply to this for a few
moments. I wan thinking. Mildred wai
my betrothed. Ethel was a girl my
mother had taken In through charity
?onw years before. At my death she
would be unprovided for, because my
property was left me In trust for my
children.
"Yes," 1 said presently, "my being
out of danger on Christmas day would
be a gift to Mildred in another way
than the one you mean. If I get well
her future Is provided for. If I die she
must look elsewhere for an estate."
"1 am sure," said Ethel, "that sht
thinks only of having you spared to
? \
SB* OATS A LOW OUT.
her. Besides, you know that she has an
Income of her own sufficient to keer
the wolf from the door."
"You haven't anything, and by tht
terms of my father's will I am unable
to provide for you."
"You are only too good to wish to d(
so. 1 am sure you would make some
provision for me If you could. But I
know that Is Impossible. "
I waj so weak that even this bit ot
conversation was too much for me. 1
closed my eyes, and when I opened
them Ethel was bending over me. feai
and agony depicted In every feature ot
her face. But 1 was too 111 to be more
than momentarily Impressed with bei
anxiety on my account 1 lost power to
move or articulate. But I could see
and bear as distinctly as ever.
Ethel ran out of the room and re
turned with everybody in the house.
Some one said, "He is dead." Anotbei
said, "Get the doctor, quick!"
It was some time before the doctor
reached my bedside. When he did he
put his hand on my heart and kept it
there a long while. Back of him were
the members of the household and
Mildred, who bad been summoned.
She and Ethel stood near each other,
and I noticed the contrast In the ex
premlons on their faces. Ethel's de
noted Intense grief, Mildred's some
thing more like awe.
"Is he dead?" naked my housekeeper
of the doctor.
No reply was given to the question.
The doctor continued to peer at me and
kept his hand on my heart. Presently '
he gave up looking for signs of life
and, turning away, said regretfully:
"Yes; he has gone."
I had my eyes on the two girls be
fore me and was watching to see how
they took the announcement A look
of Infinite pain, longing, despair, came
over Ethel's features. Mildred burst
Into tears. And yet It struck me that
they came from strained nerves, the
presence of death, a solemn moment
8he turned away with the others and
left the room. E'thel was the last to
pass ont, and Just before doing so she
turned and looked at dm. I shall never
forget that look.
I lay In the same condition for some
time. Preparations were making fbr
the funeral. A man came In and stood
looking at me curiously. I was Oiled
with dread, for I knew what he was
ther? for. He went away, and later
the doctor came in with the house
keeper. He stood looking at roe tor
awhile, then took my wrist in his
hand, then put his hand on my heart.
After that he asked the housekeeper
to bring a hand mirror and. holding it
under my nostrils for awhile, examined
It carefully.
"Suspend everything for awhile,"' he
said to the housekeeper. "It Is possible
that there Is a fnlnt life flnfterfng
within htm. Rut say nothing about
this Just now. I don't wish to excHe
any false hopes, especially In hla be
trothed."
"You're right, doctor? she's wrapped
up in him. It's a sad blow to her. If
he could only have been spared to en
Joy this Christmas with her."
they went out" of tlwl foom, ?lfll i
w?i left alone for torn* tits*. Then
?u old friend of iny mother'* and ?
lady I bad long known cam* to to
have a look at me. Both stood (Hearty
bcahle me for a few mis u tee, then
weut to another part of the room* and
1 overheard this bin of conversatlcar
"Thta Is very haixl on poor MIMred,
lan't It?"
"Well, yes; I tuppoae It !?."
"Why. dout you think tt ta a greet
Wow to her?" ?
"She won't be rich, as ah* weuld
hare been had be Uv?d to marry her.
But you know M.tldr*d'a Inclination*
have always been for Malcolm Fair
child."
"I didn't know that**
"They were engiged when be (look
ing towa.-d me) catne In, though he
was not aware of It"
"1 hadn't heard tfcat"
"Malcolm has always been a pet of
mlue, and he cocAded his betratbal
to me. He was heartbroken when be
had to give her up."
"Didn't ahe love him?"
"I think she did; but, yon see, he haA
nothing but his notary. No girl In
her sense* would give ?p a fortune for
a salary tb.it must be earned As t?
come from propeny la very different
It (tarns money while one Is asleep."
"That's so, but girls are apt to be
roinautlc, you know."
"Mildred Is practical. I don't think
she will ever die for love."
I wanted no girl for a wife who bad
given up some one she liked better.
The dialogue continued for a few mla
utes later, and I heard every wortl.
"Ethel hasn't be?ui treated right 81m

up in a refined way, and prevlalon
sh< nM have been made for her."
"Oh, she'll be alt rtgtst There'* ?
rich man reedy tc- marry her the mo
ment she says the word."
"Why hasn't she taken blm before
this?"
"Nobody know*
I felt like putting in the words "ex
cept the (lend," but 1 couldn't, ami, be
olden. 1 wouldn't II* I conltL
The speakers fell to talklag of the
approaching Christ mas festivities, men
tioning how sad It would be for fbros
In the home of taournlng. I had no
Idea how long It would be till Christ
mas, but heard on<? ef the ladle* aaj to
the other that It was "the day after
tomorrow." Persons were continually
coming Into and frolng from the room
In which I lay. and I heard soma one
say, speaking of the funeral, "Wily are
they so long about It, and why don't
they have It over with before Christ
masT"
I knew It waa Christmas eve by the
remarks of these persona. I waa much
depressed at the proepact of the holi
days passing and I lying there like a
log.
Then I began to wonder If by an
effort of the will I might not pal! my
self out of my r?yniltar condition. I
hSTe nlways been a great believer of
the power of mln-1 over matter, and It
occurred to me that If I could bring
myself to believe chat I could throw off
my iiamlysls I would be able to do so.
Of course my condition troubled ma.
Indeed, 1 was In danger of being bur
ied alive I determined to make an
effort of the will to regain an acttra
condition.
1 commenced on Christinas eve by
driving all thought or fear of Inter
ment out of my ralnd. After awhile 1
began to think that I could move my
musrlea, though I didn't try. I fell
asleep feeling leas troubled and awoke
in the morning refreshed aa I had not
felt since 1 had lost muscular power.
I remembered that It was Christina*
morning, and I vraa still apparently a
corpse.

Ousting a glance at the sunlight com
Injj through a window, she moaned:
"Oh. what a Christmas? the brighter
without, the darker within!"
She came to tb<? bed and atood look
ing down upon me. She did not apeak,
but I could Interpret her thoughts from
her expression. She looked at my cheek
and seemed surprised. I woodered If

She started for the door aa though to
call aome one, tben stopped, hesitated
and came back to ma Kneeling beside

to rub It I felt a current a neree cur
rent, a current of life passing from the
hand that held mine and couratng up
through my arm to my heart For the
first time since 1! had t>een stricken I
had power. My land began to tighten
on hers.
She gave a low cry, but 1 dM not

She made aa If to rise, I suppose to call
others, but 1 held her. Then I made an
effort to speak, bat could only whisper:
"Put your armi about mo."
She did so.
"Lay your check against mine *
This, too, she did. I felt the Hf? com
ing back to me. 1 made no effort for
n while, permitting the rigor 1 wa?
drawing to accumulate. Tben I spoke
again.
"Pear heart, "fte life you hare re
called Is a gift Vo you on this blessed
Christmas morning."
The flood of hope. Joy, (ore, that well
ed up In her rushed to me and spread It
self through my being. Within a few
minutes more I could more any moscle
I chose. And I was there, on Christ
mas day. restored, with the girl whom
I knew loved me and for whom there
had been born In my heart an equal
passion.
