FREE REMEDY HELPS CHILDREN

Many a mother has learned of
nav of avoiding sickness in her fam
;Iy, especially among the children, by
tbe use of free sample bottle of the
famous laxative, DIR. Caldwelps Syrup
PeDsin. This offer of the doctors to
end a free sample bottle has been re-
soonded to by thousands of women
IN all parts of America.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
truly wonderful laxative and espe-
cjaliy adapted to the needs of babies
and children because it is pleasant to
taste and no child will refuse it. Then,
Il IS mild and never gripes. 1t is all
that a child's remedy should be,
though it is a good laxative for the
whole family because it is effective
at all ages. 1t is not dynamic like
salts, pills and powerful cathartics,
which should not be given to chill
dren under amy circumstances.
The Bourbon news., 1912-01-02

Nine times out Of ten when a child
complains and you don't know ex-
actly what is the matter with it, it
needs laxative-its bowels are con-
stipated. Syrup Pepsin will correct
the trouble, tone up the Child and
soon 1t will be well again-wonder-
full results have been secured with
Syrup Pepsin over night.
You can buy it of any druggist at
nifty cents or dollar bottle, the
latter being the family size, but you
are invited to make test of it first
at the doctors expense. Send him
your address today and he will send
you free sample bottle direct to
your home. Then when satisfied buy
ut of your favorite druggist
For the free sample address him.

him headlong; only a frantic clutch at
the footrail of the bed saved him..
Kicking the thing savagely OF he
flung himself upon the door and threw
it open. His jaw dropped.
The lift shaft was directly opposite.
Before it, in more or less patient wait
ing, stood very young and beautiful
woman in a gown whose extreme can
dor was surpassed only by the perfec-
ton of its design and appointment
both blatant of the Rue de la Paix;
a type as common to the cognoscentt
of Monte Carlo as the Swiss hotel por-
ters. But O'Rourke did not know her
from Eve.
"The divvle!" said he beneath his,
breath. ssss So s: sss:ss h.
He was mistaken; but the young
emonious appearance, on instantan-
eous second thought decided to per-
NIT him to discover that twin imps,
at least, resided in her eyes. And
when his disappointment prevented
him from recognizing them, her dawn
ing smile was swiftly erased and her
ascending eyebrows spoke eloquently
enough of her naughty displeasure.
Spontaneously the lift hesitated at
that landing and the gate changed
wide; the young woman wound her;
skirt about her and showed him a.
back which at any other time would
have evoked his unstinted admiration
Then the gate shot to with rattle
and bang, and the lift dropped out of
sight, leaving the man with mouth
agape and eyes as wide.
A beaming but elderly femme de-
chambre on duty in the corridor. re-
marking O'Rourke's pause of stupefied
chagrin, hoped and believed he need
ed her services. She bore down upon
him accordingly.
"M'sieu is desircus Off"
He came out of his trance Moth

''But, yes" he reconsidered with
haste. "That lady who but this mo-

"Impossible," he told himself aloud.
utterly unable to forge any connecting
| link between the lady in the lift and
her whose voice had bewitched him.
"But assuredly, m'sieu' Do I not
know-I who have waited upon her
hand and foot these three days and to
whom she has not given as much as
that" The woman ticked finger
nail against her strong white
teeth. "Ma'm'selle Victorine Vol
taire," she asserted stubbornly.
O'Rourke fumbled in his pocket and
found golden ten-franc piece, surren-
dering it to the woman as heedlessly
as though it had been as many CEN
times. I'll be leaving me room in five

aped to advantage. His play was a
wonder of the Casino; for the matter
of that, his high-handed and eXtrava-
CANT ways had made the entire Prin-
cipality of Monaco conscious of his
presence in the land And you fail
in the least to understand the nature
of the man if you think for moment
that it irked him to be admired, point
ed out, courted, pursued. He was, in
deed, never so splendid as when
aware that he occupied the public eye.
In short, ne was just an Irishman.
SO, then, it's nothing wonder
full that he should seem thought fini-
cal about the set OF his tie.
Now as he stood scowling at his
of his heart he had never been fool
enough to let Danny leave him, and
calling fervelt blessings down upon

found himself suddenly with mind
divested of any care whatever and at

1t was nothing more nor less than a
woman singing softly to herself (hum-
ming would probably be the more ac-
curate term, and it was merely the
tune that caught his fancy; bit of

been wont to sing, upon time when

| still that the woman's voice, indistinct
as it was, should have such a familiar
ring in his memory. He frowned in
wonder and shook his head. "The age
of miracles is past" he muttered ;
"'twould never be herself. I've had
me chance-and forfeited it. Twill

The singing ceased. Of sudden
O'Rourke swore with needless heat
and, plucking away the offending tie
cast it savagely from him. "The div

window to cool off.
1t was like him to forget his exas
peration in the twinkling Of an eye
another mood entirely swayed him b.
the time he found himself gazing ou
into the vague. yelvety dusk that mo
mentarily was closing down upon tn
fairy-like panorama of terraced gar
dens and sullen, silken sea. Hi
