FRETFUL BABIES
 NEED A LAXATIVE

When your baby is cross and fretful tho chances are it is constipated and that a mild laxative is all that is neces- sary to make it comfortable and happy. Inactive bowels arc the cause of as much discomfort to children as to older people, and unless the condition is promptly relieved is very apt to develop serious illness.
 For children there is nothing that will act more easily than the combina. ton of simple laxative herbs with per. sin that is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It does not ,sripe and is free from opiate or narcotic drugs, is pleasant to the taste, and positively effective; chil~ dren like it and take it readily.
 If you have never tried this simple, inexpensive remedy, get a bottle ot Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup PePsin from your druggist and have it in the house to use the next time any of the children seem out of sorts. A trial bottle can be ob~ .ained. free of charge. by writing to Dr. w. B. Caldwell, 456 Washington, '. M~,ti- -~No, Illinois.

Rather n wild Night

T1flNGS were going very wrong for
Il Milky I.arish.
Not handsome, in any exact sense,

days and with two clear young eyes that
had looked out humorously at the world

Perhaps at the very first, he had been
in love with the princess, not the wo-
man. II had been rather like him TO
fix on the unattainable and worship
II from afar. Because, for all the
frierd'iness of their growing intimacy,
Hedwie was still star. whose light
touched him but whose warmth was not

vanity whatever. although in parade

and remote. And then. that very morn

he set Off brisky, turning into tl1&
crowded part of the city. Here wsfo
narrow, winding streets old houses that
overhung above and almost touchod,
shutting out all but a thin line of sky;
medieval doorways Of heavy oak and
iron that opened into courtyards, where
once armed men had lounged but where
now broken wagons and other riffrah
were stored. .ntNH
And here IL was that Milky happened
on the thing that was to take him far
that night and bring about many curious
things. Not far ahead of him two mon

ing his free arm, on which hung a cane,
to gesticulate, The other walked with

Milky. pausing TO light q Cigarette,
fell behind. But the wind was tricky,
and with his third match he stepped
into a stone archway, lighted his cigar

chill. and emerged to a silent but violent
/ struggle just ahead. The two men had

toward the group. Milky saw that the
silent one, unmolested. was looking on.
a moment later he was in the thick
| OF things and fighting gloriously. His
| soldierly cap fell off. He flung out arms
that were both furious and strong. and
with each blow the group assumed q
new formation. Unluckily. great deal
of the fighting was done over the pros
trate form of Peter Niburg.
j Suddenly one Of the group broke away
and ran down the street. He ran rather
like kangaroo. gathering his feet under
him and proceeding by series of leaps
almost as IL he were being shamefully
pricked from behind. At a corner he
turned pale, terror-stricken eyes bach
on that sinister group, and went on into
the labyrinth Of spall streets.
But disaster. inglorious disaster
waited for Milky. Peter Niburg face
down on the pavement, was groaning
and Milky had felled one man and was
starting on a second with the fighting
appetite of twenty-three when some-
thing happened. One moment Milky was
smiling, with a cut lip. and hair in his
eyes, and the next he was dropped like
an OK by n blow from behind. Landing
between his shoulder blades, Il jerket
his head back with a snap and sent him
reeling. A second followed, delivered By
u huge fist.
Down went Milky and lay still.
