With slow feet. pausing at each turn

The breath CT the sweet fern.
That fragrance from my vision swept

Up fairer hills of youth | stepped

CHAPTER ~.
The Man perdu.


A shadow swept swiftly across one
Of the windows, and the stranger at
the door was aware of a slight jar
ring. as though some more than ordin-
arily brutal gust of wind had shaken
the house upon its foundation, or an
inner door had been slammed VIC
lently. But otherwise he had SO little
evidence that his summons had fallen
on aught but empty walls or deaf ears
that he had begun to debate his right
to enter without permission, when
chain ratified, bolt grated, and the
door swung wide. A food Of radiance
together with gust OF heated air
struck him in the face. Dazzled, he
reeled across the threshold.
Three PAGES within the room, Amber
paused, waiting for his eyes TO adjust
themselves to the light. Vaguely con-
scious of a presence behind him, he
faced another-the slight. spare sill
houette of mans figure between him
and the lamp; and at the same time
felt that he was being subjected to
a close scrutiny-both searching and,
at Its outset, the reverse of hospitaple.
But he had no more than become sem
sitive to this than the man before
stepped quickly forward and with two
strong hands clasped his shoulders.

Guilty" said the other with quiet
laugh. But sit down" He swung
Amber about, gently guiding him to a
chair. "You look pretty well done up
How long have you been out In this
internal night? But never mind an

WOMEN SHOULD NEVER

Women are especially susceptible I,
constipation and their more delicate
organisms rebel at the violence of
cathartics and purgatives Drastic
medicines Ike salts, mineral waters,
pills ahd powders may afford tempo
rary relief. but their violent action on
the stomach and bowels tends to up
set the entire system.
A mild laxative is far preferable and
more effective. The combination Of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin pre-
scribed by DR.. W. B. Caldwell. and
sold in drug stores under the name of
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is ideal
for women, being gentle in action, pos
tive in effect and pleasant to the
taste. A spoonful of Syrup Pepsin at
night will bring natural relief next
morning and, used regularly for a
brief period, win so strengthen and
tone the muscles of the stomach and
bowels that there viii be little, If any,
