He takes his seat at the dinner table, opens his newspaper and reads with much excitement about a terrible explosion. Again she looks at him with jack-o'-lantern stare and blank gaze. He becomes frantic and tells her if she does not change her face he will put an end to himself. She inanimately stops his hands, but retains the inane glare. He hurries from the room and sends a note to his old friend, Dr. Jackson, asking him to send something to relax his wife's fixed features and give him relief, a stimulus and nerve tonic to stir her to normal activity. A messenger from the doctor brings a box of pills with directions how to use them as a sure cure for Mrs. Wilson's ailment. Wilson is delighted, and communicates his joy to his wife, who idiotically recognizes the cause of his ecstasy and agrees to submit to his ministration. Wilson thinks if one pill is good, three will he better and quicker. One, two, three, and then he awaits results. The pellets begin to work: so does his wife's face. Oh! horrors! The man with a thousand faces would hide them all in shame. Wilson's wife's face has them all beaten a mile for rapid changes and funny grimaces until gradually her countenance assumes a sweet, natural smile and normal flexibility and intelligence. Wilson is jubilant and radiant in his joy and the restoration of his wife's health. A parting glance at the smiling face of Mrs. Wilson shows us that she shares her husband's happiness.
