THE PEENSH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When child sulks drowsily, or is
fretful, it is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative Is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
IN cases where the use of gentle,
effeftiye laxative stimuiant is indi-
Gated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. Caj9welJ's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive In its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver ard bowels. Is easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
siraDIe in the case of children, a dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
S1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy, write to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington St, Men
ticello, ILL.,, for a sample. He will be
very glad to send trial bottle with
out any expense to you whatever.

all, bidding the others go their way.
Mrs Maitland. who was not feeling
very well. old Kirkby, who had
climbed too many mountains to feel
much interest in that game, and Pete

after the stock. remained in camp;

with the fishing tackle and substantial
luncheon.
NOW the rivera river by courtesy

back on themselves just beyond the
little meadow where the camp was
pitched. Past the tents that had been

river ran due east for a few hundred
feet, after which it curved sharply.

for several miles before it gradually
swung around to the east on it's prop

1t had been Ends purpose to cut
across the nils and strike the river
where it turned eastward once more
avoiding the long detour back. In
fact, she had declared her intention
of doing that to Kirkby and he had
given her careful directions so that
she should not get lost In the noun
tains.
But she had plenty of time and no
excuse or reason for saving it, she
never tired of the charm of the canon;
therefore, instead OF plunging directly
over the spur of the range. she fol
lowed the familiar trail and after she
had passed westward far beyond the
limits of the camp to the turning. she
decided, in accordance with that ut.
terly irresponsible thing, a woman's
will, that she would not go down the
canon that day after all, but that she
would cross back over the range and
strike the river few miles above the
camp and go up the canon.
She had been up in that direction
few times, but only for a short dis
lance, as the ascent above the camp
was very sharp, in fact for little
more than mile the brook was only
succession of water fall; the best
fishing was below the camp and the
finest woods were deeper in the canon.
She suddenly concluded that she
would like to see what was up in that
unexplored section OF the country and
SO, with scarcely momentary hesi-
tation, she abandoned her former plan
and began the ascent of the range
Upon decisions so lightly taken

stream or down the stream, whether
she should follow the rivulet to it's

CHAPTER ~.

The Pool and the Water Sprite
Long after the others in the camp
had sunk into the profound slumber
of weary bodies and good consciences,
a solitary candle in the small tent oc-
cup.ed by Enid Maitland alone gave
evidence that she was busy over the
letters which Kirkby had handed to
her.
1t was a very thoughtful girl in
deed who confronted the old frontiers
man the next morning At the first
convenient opportunity when they
were alone together she handed him
the packet of letters.
Have you read 'em?" he asked.
Yes"
Wall, you keep EN-" said the old
man gravely. "Mebbe you'll want to
read EN- agin.'
But l don't understand why you
want me to have them
Wall. I'm not quite sure myself
why. but leastways | do an
Il shall be very glad to keep them. ;"
said the girl still more gravely, Slip
ping them into one of the pockets OF
her hunting shirt as she spoke
The packet was not bulky. the let
tiers were not many nor were they of
any great length She could easily
carry them on her person and in
some strange and unexplicable way
she was rather glad TO have them.
She could not. as she had said. see
any personal application TO herself in
them. and yet in some way she did
feel that the solution Of the mystery
would be hers some day. Especially
did she think this on account of the
strange but quiet open emphasis of
the old hunter.
There was much to 90 about the
camp in the morning. Horses and
burros TO be looked after. fire wood TO
be cut. plans for the day arranged

ment, yet her whole life turned abso-
lutely upon that decision. The idle
and unconsidered choice of the hour
was frought with gravest possibilities.
Had that election been made with any
suspicion, with any foreknowledge, had
il come as the result OF careful rea-
soning or faT-seeing of probabilities,
it might have been understandable,
but an impulse, whim, the vagrant
idea of an idle hour, the careless
chance OF moment. and behold

they will show no more fear of an

what to do.
At length she approached the wa

from her porch, held it to the water

While her baby was satisfying its
thirst the mother was quivering all
over with apprehension. for she was
