Baby's Happiness
Depends Tn Health

Cross, fretful babies usually
need a laxative to make them
comfortable, and comfort begets
happiness. Constipation is the
cause of much discomfort. Moth
ers should watch closely the con-
dition of their children's bowels
and see that they are regular.
A mild. pleasant tasting laxa-
tive such as DR.. Caldwell,s Syrup
Pepsin. is ideal for children be-
cause of its natural composition
and gentle action. and because it
contains no opiate. narcotic or
other harmful habit-forming
drug. DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin is sold by druggists every
where. A teaspoonful at bedtime
will bring easy, certain relief.
A free trial bottle can be OBJ
tanned by writing to DR.. w. B.

Radius Rods

You will not find radius rods on
many cars excepting those of high
price-or If You do and them, you
will note they are insignificant in
size. Some cars drive thro' the
springs just because it happens to
cost more to use radius rods and a
torque arm as Studebaker does.
But 1t also happens that radius
rods take the driving thrust that
the springs have to take in
other cars. And so make the car
EASIER-riding.

These two were far ahead. out of
sight, indeed; and must somehow be
overtaken and warned-no easy mat
ter, since the machine which bore
them was, IL anything, faster than
Alan's, just as the racing automobile
was faster than either.
Alan kept his gaze steadfast to the
road before them, daring not once TO
look up and round or back.
So slnuous and meandering was its
course, indeed, that Alan seldom could
see hundred yards of 1t ahead. but
must pelt on in panic flight, hoping
for the best-that Judith and Barcus
would soon show up In front, that
something might happen to hinder the
pursuit-never knowing whether the
latter lost or gained.
And thus catastrophe befell
Round the swelling bosom of a wood
ed mountainside the motorcycle swept
like a hunted hare, and without the
least warning came upon Barcus and
Judith, dismounted, Barcus bending
over his cycle and tinkering with its
motor.
For one manipulating instant COLI
sion seemed unavoidable Barcus and
Judith and the motorcycle occupied
most of the width of the road; there
was little room between them and the
declivity, less between them and the
forest To try to pass them on the
latter side would be only to dash his
brains out against the trees; while to

his thumb to indicate the road, "a can

a quarter of a mile over yonder. If it's
all the same to you people, We might

natural attractions may be-if any.
But it's sure a mighty poor sort of a
canyon that doesn't lead anywhere
and nothing could possibly be more

and fold our hands in our laps and

a wan smile as she tucked her hand
gratefully beneath his arm.

we get out of this awful business,

Heaven" the young man prayed
fervently, "forfend!"
THAT is hardly gallant"
Il mean-heaven forfend that you
should throw yourself away!"

you're right"

subtle object, namely, to reassure the
girl who followed, supported by her
lovers arm.

Roses jealousy of her sisters new
found friendliness with Alan had
become acutely evident. The least
courtesy which circumstances now
and again demanded that he show
Judith or seem a boor, was enough
to cloud the countenance of Alan's
betrothed.
Nor, indeed, was Rose altogether
destitute OF plausible excuse for this
feeling. It was undeniable that be-
tween Alan and Judith bond Of sym-

be to risk leaving the road altogether
and dashing off into space
And it was impossible to stop the
cycle-so brief was all his warning.
In desperation Alan chose the outside
of the road; and for the space of a
single heartbeat thought that he might
possibly make it, but with the next
realized that he would not-seeing the
front wheel swing off over the lip of
the slope.
At this he acted sharply and upon
sheer instinct. AS the cycle left the
road altogether he risked a broken
knee by releasing his grasp of the
handlebars and Strengthening out his
leg and driving it down forcibly
against the roadbed. The effect of this
was to lift him bodily from the sad
die: the machine shot from beneath
him like some strange projectile
hurled from the bore of great gun;
and Rose crashed against him in the
same fraction of a second.
Headlong they plunged as one down
the hillside, struck its shelving sur
face a good twenty feet from the brink
of the road. and flying apart tumbled
their separate ways down the re-
mainder of the drop and into the
friendly shelter of the underbrush.
Something nearly miraculous saved
them whole. Beyond a few scratches
and bruises and a severe shaking up,
they escaped unframed. And they
were picking themselves up and re-
gaining their breath and re-collecting
their scattered wits when, with i'm
petus no less terrific than their own
had been, the pursuing motor car
swung round the bend and hurled It,
self directly at the two who remained
upon the road above.

been nothing more ponderable than
truss of STRENGTHENING halfway down
the embankment, a hopeless tangle OF
shattered tubing and twisted wire.
At first blush the circumstance
seemed surprising, that the car did
not stop. But then Barcus reminded
himself that Marrophat and Jimmy
could not possibly have witnessed the
accident involving Alan and Rose. who,
together with the wreck of their ma
chine. remained well-cloaked by the
underbrush at the bottom of the can.
yon. In all probability, then, the as
sassins had assumed that Alan had
hurried on; and since their own first
business was concerned exclusively
with them, they had done likewise,
reasoning that they could return and
deal with his unfortunate friend at
their convenience after overhauling
their quarry, whose life they most
coveted.
AS for Rose and Alan-heaven alone
knew what had happened to them. So
Barcus set himself to find out what
ever Providence knew without more
delay. The racing car was barely out
of sight when he sprang from the
sheltering trees and, Judith at his
heels, pelted headlong down the slope
to the spot where the others had van
ished.
To find them not only alive but
practically unscathed affected that
loyal soul almost to tears.
But when congratulations had been
mutually exchanged, there fell ali
awkward pause. The eyes of the four
sought one another's ruefully, each
pair quick with the unuttered but in
exorable inquiry: What next?
In the outcome, it was Mr.. Barcus
