An Old Mans Stomach

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When a man reaches
the advanced age of IS or 90, you
will find that he is light eater. Be
as careful as you will, however you
will occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the need of
Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not con-
tain pepsin, but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable 1t to perform it's func-
lions naturally. They also cause a
gentle movement of the bowels.

Gerry's cablegram to his mother was
forwarded to Red Hill on the very day
that the Judge had gone to tell them
that no trace could be found of the
missing man. The Judge was more
down-hearted than ever over Gerry's
disappearance and when he found the
two women radiating happiness and
excitement his heart sank lower still.

Then he gave a war-whoop, caught
Alix around the waist and kissed her.
The FRS were gay that night-gay
with the JOY of happy people happily
planning. In a month, say at the most,
two months, Gerry could be here.
Spring would have come. The Hill
would be decked out in full regalia of
leaf and blossom. 1t would be in full
commission to meet him. They looked
at Alix and Alix seemed to look at
herself. He would come into his own
as never before.
The Judge undertook the cabling.
He cabled Gerry and the message was
reported undelivered. Then he cabled
the American consul. There followed
long series of messages; first quick
and hopeful, then tagging but not
doubtful, then q wearying silence of
weeks, ending with the inevitable
blow. Gerry had been traced to the

Gerry Lansing was sitting alone In
the shade of a bush, his knees gath
cred in his arms and his head bowed
down. Great quivering signs that
were almost sobs were shaking his
strong body. In one terrific swirl
life had wrenched him from the moor
ings Of generations, tossed him high
and dropped him, broken. Between
the moment when he had plunged
from the sandspit and the moment
when he and the girl had stood on the
river bank and laughed together to see
the canoe, worked adrift by the eddy,
swirl out into the river and away,
cons had passed. In that laughing
moment he had stood primeval man In
prlmeval world. With the drops Of
water from the river he had ficked
of the bonds It had taken centuries
to forge. And now his truant con.
science returned to stand dismayed.
The girl, dressed in a homespun
cotton robe belted at the waist, came
back down half-hidden path, shyly
at first and then with awe to see
him weeping. She tossed him a cot
ton Jumper and trousers and then drew
back and waited for him in the path.
He rose slowly to his feet dressed and
followed the girl.
She led him along the path through
the brush and out into little valley
made up Of abandoned cane and rice
bottoms. In the center was a slight
elevation, too low to be called a hill.

San Francisco river. The envoy sent
on his track by the Judges orders
had reached Piranhas to find the little
town in apathetic wonder over the dis
covery Of Gerry's canoe stranded three
miles down the river. The paddle was
still in the canoe and a suit Of pyja-
mas. No further trace of Gerry had
been found. His body had not been re-
covered. The people said it was not
unusual. He had undoubtedly been at
tackled by tiger fish. In that case his
bones would have been stripped of
flesh. It was impossible to drag the
great river.
The judge hid in his heart the har-
rowing details. To Mrs. Lansing he
told the central fact. She was struck
dumb with grief and then she thought
of Alix. Almost hastily they decided
that it was not time to tell Alix and
during long months they put her of
with false news Of the search. They
carried it farther and farther into the
wilds OF the subcontinenr The coun-
try was SO vast, there was no telling
when the messenger would finally
come up with Gerry.
AK bore the strain VIII wonder
full patience. The truth was that her
thoughts were not on Gerry. Some
thing greater than Gerry was claiming
all her faith-all her strength Of body
and soul. She did not talk. She was
holding that final communion with her
innermost self with which a woman
dedicates her body to pain and sacri-
fee. Alix was not afraid. In those
days the spirit of the race-her race
Of pioneers-shone from her steady
eyes and even put courage in those
about her.
Only when the ordeal was over and
an heir to the house of Lansing had
raised his lusty voice in apparent rage
at having been born to so small a
kingdom, did the frail Alix of other
days come back. As she lay, pale and
thin, but with the glorious light Of
supreme achievement in her eyes, Mrs.
Lansing went on her knees beside the
bed and sobbed, "Oh, Alix, love you
so love you sar'

an answering cry he hurled himself
into the water and swan as he had
never swum before.
The girl had farther to go across the
little bay, but she could beat Gerry
swimming and she did. Only she failed
to use her head and, when she found
bottom, started to wade. Wading is
slow work in water waist high. Gerry
stuck to bis long powerful stroke. As
the girl reached the bank the strong
fingers of his right hand closed on her
bare ankle.

Will Reopen Tin Mines.

Austria is to resume exploitation of
tin mines on her territory, working of
which was discontinued before the war
owing to small profits 1t is estimated
that the three principal mines in Bo-
hernia alone, if actively worked, can
furnish three-fourths of the country's
requirements. Little tin has been
mined in Austria heretofore, only
about per cent of the country's needs
having been obtained from Austrian
mines.
