Sketches from Lif e

By Temple

The Old Storv

In the grounds of King Westers pal

ace, -which. standB on the further bor

der of Far-away-land, an old gardener

planted wonderful flowers. All of his family had been in the service of the good King, and as far back as he could remember father and son they had labored to make the .gardens more beautiful. It was always sunny in that land, and the flowers grew all the year round, but the ugly weeds thrived just as well, and it was a constant struggle to keep them from springing up and killing all the pretty plants in the garden. So one of the great-grandfathers of the man our story Is about went to the home of the Gnomes bearing a beautiful flower as a gift. They are very fond of all pretty things, and after thanking him they asked what favor they could do in return. "Give me something that will kill the weeds out of my flower beds," said he, "and I will send you all the blossoms you could wish from my garden." So they went into the great black hall, where their wonderful forges burned and brought forth a snowflake. On this the Black Gnome himself blew until it became a great white bubble. This he threw upon the ground of the cave, and when it struck the hard floor it burst into a billion tiny white flakes. The gardener was very sorry, for he thought the bubble was the prettiest thing he had ever seen, but the Black Gnome called an elf, who brought a small box. Into this they poured the fine white powder that was all there was left of the Gnome's bubble. "Take this back to your garden," said the Gnome, "and sprinkle a little on the weeds and they will die even down to the fine brown roots that live in the ground and feed the plant. All will be frozen by this magic powder. But you must be very careful not to touch the flowers with so much as a tiny flake, for it will kill them, too.' The gardner was delighted and went back to the palace of King Westel carrying the little box as tightly as if it were the most precious thing in the world. In the years that followed, the garden, free 1 from all weds, became a wonderful place.

Never were lillies so snowy white even in the flower beds of the queen of all th fairies. The palace was covered with a great vine, red with bloom, and the people of all the neighboring countries Journeyed to King Westers court to see his beautiful garden. The King was very much pleased and bestowed many honors upon the gardener. For many years this man

and his sons and grandsons after him worked in the flower beds of King Westel's palace, and by the aid of the magic powder killed all the ugly weeds

and grew the most beautiful flowers in

the world. Until one day the Storm King heard of this fairy garden and grew jealous. So he called a council of all his sprites and asked them what he should do. They told him of the wonderful powder the Black Gnome had made, which was the secret of King Westel's success. And from that

day on he set himself to think of a way to steal the powder for his own use. As he sat in the palace window one of his sprites, called Jack Frost, came to him and offered to go into the court of King Westel and steal the

magic powder. And the King, know

ing he was a clever, fellow, was glad to have him go. So the sprite ordered himself a new white jacket and plumed hat, and sallied forth to the King's court. He was very good company and soon had . many friends, among them the gardener. He was so interested in the flowers that he spent most of his time in the palace grounds, but although he saw the weeds black and limp in the morning sunshine he t as in the palace some time before he ever saw the gardener with the little box he wanted so badly, for the box was kept in the castle vault in a great iron-bound chest and guarded night and day, so he knew he would never get it unless he stole in from the gardener while he was busy killing weeds. Very early,, in the morning he saw the old man' come up to the castle door, and to him the guards delivered the precious box. Very hurriedly the sprite put on his jacket and rushed on into the garden. The old man was very much startled when he saw Jack Frost, but they had become such friends he never thought the sprite could mean mischief. Jack Frost pretended not to see the old man's box at all, and, leaning over a lily bloom said: "Ah, good morning. I was just looking at your beautiful flowers. You have nearly every kind there is in the world, have you not?" "Nearly," replied the gardener. "Why, surely you know that there is no flower that does not grow in my garden." "Oh! I well know you have very wonderful flowers, but there is a humble lily that grows in my country that I have sought in vain among your flower beds." "What is it like?" said the old man very much worried to think his garden was not perfect. "Why," said the Sprite, "come and look at this

PALACE. Madame X has made her screen debut. Alexander Bisson's great drama will shortly be presented in pictures by Pathe at the Palace theatre Friday. Miss Donnelly's manificent interpretation on the stage of the woman who drifted in search of love Is duplicated on the screen. The skill with which Miss Donnelly handles the difficult role is an artistic revelation. There are no sudden transformations from the normal to the degraded no lapse of years to obviate the necessity for subtle changes in appearances and action. The play goes on from scene to scene, and as time elapses and the woman becomes, more and more abandoned, there are slight, almost imperceptable changes in her appearance; a new wrinkle, a droop of the shoulders, a hardening about the mouth, a furtive look in the eyes that speak eloquently the weakness of the character and the artistry of its interpreter.

bent over the lily the old man set down the box containing the magic powder. "See," said Jack Frost, "the stem of our lily is a bit darker and the petals quite round at the end. It! is deep pink, and very sweet." By ' this time the gardener was all interest, j for he had never heard of such a i flower. "What do you call this curl-' ous blossom, and where can I get one for the garden of my King?"

From pyorrhea come by far the greater part of all tooth troubles. Unless treated and checked, it will result not only in the shrinking and malformation of your gums and of the bony structure into which your teeth are set, but in the loss of the teeth themselves. A specific for pyorrhea has been discovered recently by dental science, and is now ofFered for daily treatment in Scnreco Tooth Paste. Senreco combats the germ of the disease. Its regular use insures your teeth against the attack or further progress of pyorrhea.

iVatch outfor Pyorrhea!

When you find a tooth that gives back and

forth, even just a little, see your dentist at once. He will find conditions which you might overlook. He will find a gum recession, even though slight, where the gums have pulled away from the teeth. And he will tell you that you have the dread disease fytrrht.

'But Stnrect d$et mtn. It cleanses the teeth delightfully. It gives them a whiteness distinctive of Senreco alone. Its flavor is entirely pleasing, and it leaves in the mouth a wonderful sense of coolness and whole-someness.

Start 'the Senreco treatment before pyorrhea grips you for good. Details in folder with every tube. A two-ounce tube for 25c is sufficient for 6 weeks daily treatment. Get Senreco of your druggist tdy; or send 4c in stamps or coin tor sample tube and folder. Address The Sentanel Remedies Company 503 Union Central Building,
