Turn this woman out"
Beverley seemed half inclined to
take the hotheaded suggestion Of his

younger man.
Suddenly the woman held out to him
a paper.
'Then read that" she ordered.
Beverley. without taking into his own
hand the document. looked at 1t as
though it were thing which might
scorch him. 1t plainly was marriage

"Great heavens" he exclaimed.
But Brancaster had been looking over
his shoulder.
Its forged-it's false-you know it,
he almost shouted into the face of the
smiling woman.
Lord Beverley gave another long look
at the document and read there the
signature of the Rev. Werner Haslam.
He walked slowly toward the vicar,
but not before Sartoris had whispered
to him savagely:

Lord Beverley now had the paper in
his own hands, and he passed it to
Haslam.
"Mr Haslam is this true?'' he said,
extending the document

Speaking with the greatest possible ef-
fort, he slightly bowed as he answered
in low tone:

Good Bowels Are
An Aid to Growth.
Growing Children Need a Mild Lax
alive to Foster Regular
Bowel Movement.

AS a child grows older it require:
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and as the functions
of the bowels are of the utmost i'm
portance to health. great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet is of great Importance, and
the mother should watch the effect
of certain foods. A food will con-
stipate one and not another, and so
we have a healthy food like eggs
causing biliousness to thousands, and
wholesome fruit like bananas con-
stipating many. 1t is also to be con.
sidered that the child is growing,
and great changes are taking place
in the young man or young woman.
The system has not yet settled itself
to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often
or occasionally, according to the in
dividual circumstances, is DR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. This is lax
ative and tonic combined, so mild
that it is given to little babies, and
yet equally effective in the most ro-
bust constitution. At the first sign
of a tendency to constipation give a
small dose of Syrup Pepsin at night
on retiring, and prompt action will
follow in the morning. 1t not only
acts on the stomach and bowels but
its tonic properties build up and
strengthen the system generally.

RALPH EPPs FOR STATE SENATE
Former Williamsburg Boy Prom
inent In Sumter Politics.

Columbia, April 13:-Representa-
tive R D Epps, of Sumter county,
while here today, SAID that he had
about decided to enter the race for
the State Senate from his county.
Mr. Epps served in the lower House
last session and was one of the lead
ers of that body. His popularity In
his home county was attested by the
fact last election that he swept the
county and headed the Legislative
delegation, polling the largest num-
Der of votes.
Mr. Epps will have as an opponent
Senator John H Clifton, who is seek
ing reelection. Senator Clifton In
one Of the best stump speakers In
the State, and in the Senate was
recognized as a leader. He headed
many a legislative tussle on the floor
and engineered parliamentary fights
which brought out his well-known
knowledge of parliamentary law and
his resourcefulness in debate. His
ready repartee and his keen thrusts
made him formidable foe in the
Legislative halls.
The fight between Mr. Epps and
Mr. Clifton will attract Statewide
attention to the race in Sumter
county for the Senate. Both men
are very popular and good debaters,
and when they lock horns on the
hustings Sumter county will be given
a thrill, those who know them say
