Keith slipped the fragile gold chair

desolate valley, and across the river
over the sand hills. All alike appear

feeling Of being watched, and it made

the river bank, aiming for the ford,
and almost before he realized it Keith
was himself at the waters edge where
the trail abruptly ended, staring
vaguely across toward the opposite
shore. Even as he stood there, real
izing the futility of further pursuit
amid the maze of sand dunes opposite,
the sharp reports of two rifles reach
ed him, spurts of smoke rose from the
farther bank, and a bullet chugged
into the ground at his feet, while an
other sang shrilly overhead.
These shots. although neither came
sufficiently near to be alarming, serv-
ed to send Keith to cover. Cool-head-
ed and alert now, his first mad rage
dissipated, he scanned the opposite
bank cautiously, but could nowhere
discover any evidence of life. Little
by little he comprehended the situa-
ton. and decided upon his own ac-
ton. The fugitives were aware of his
presence. and would prevent his
crossing the stream, yet they were
not at all liable to return to this side
and thus reveal their identity. To
attempt any further advance would be
madness. but he felt perfectly secure
from molestation SO long as he re-
manned quietly on the north shore.
Those shots were merely a warning
to keep back: the very fact that the
men firing kept concealed was proof
positive that they simply wished to be
left alone They were not afraid of

For Baby's Ills

Something can and must be done
for the puny, crying baby, for the
child that refuses to eat and is rest
less in its sleep. And since the basis
of all health is the proper working
of the digestive organs, look first to
the condition of the stomach and
bowels.
A child should have two full and free
movements of the bowels a day, This
emptying of the bowels is very important,
as with it comes a clear head. light
ness Of STEP good appetite and sound
sleep. But II is equally important to
know what to give the child in the
emergency of constipation and indiges-
tion. Cathartics are too strong and salts
and other purgatives are not only too
strong, but the child refuses them be-
cause Of their bad taste. Have you ever
tried DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin? 1t is
a liquid tonic that families have been
using for quarter of a century. 1t Is
mild, pleasant tasting and promptly ef-
fective. 1t is good for you as well as
the child. but there is nothing better to
be found for children. They like its taste
you will not have to force them to
take It.
