SYRUP Of FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
II is cruel to force nauseatlng,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides' are
injured by them.
II your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup OF Figs. It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take It; that it never falls to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
| of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

them. The children ran up and down
the lanes in the twilight, playing at
Indians, until their mothers called
them indoors with a shudder at the
thought Of the nearness of the Turk
ing savages who might turn those
shrieks of pretended fear into shrieks
Of actual terror.
There seemed to be nothing to do
but wait.
But at noon on the seventeenth OF
September, a serene and cloudless day,
backwoodsman, passing through the
lanes of Vincennes, pausing carelessly
to glance up at an eagle soaring into
the face of the sun, uttered an ejacu-
lation. A piece had been bitten out
of the suns edge, he thought. Little
by little the dark shadow gnawed Its
way into the blazing disk, and the
people stopped their tasks to gaze up
ward at the growing eclipse. The
simpler French inhabitants chartered
| in an agitation which was as nothing
however, compared with the dismay OF
the squalid Piankeshaw Indians, who
dragged on their harmless, wretched
existence in the village of tepees on
the edge of town. By three O'Clock
only ring Of light was visible, the
center of the sun being obscured by
a smoky disk which cast the earth into
twilight darkness. The Indian vii
layers cast themselves upon the
ground in abject fright, and sacrificed
their dogs alive to appease the angr!
Manitou.
Half-blind Elkskatawa, Prophet, hat
received the answer to his prayer
And Tecumseh, the Crouching Cougar
was far to the south.

cakes" frightened their belts and set
off, silent, grim as hounds.
So passed two days of the forlorn
chase. In the afternoon the clouds
heaped up before a northerly wind,
growing blacker and blacker, hour
upon hour. At nightfall the gale
broke. The rain wrapped them in
gray garments of water, drenching
them to the skin instantly, binding
them with it's resistless rush. They
plunged wretchedly along through the
binding downpour, forcing their way
through the hollows. Their deerskin
clothing had long ceased to be any
more than a sort Of mere cohesive
fluid. Everything, except the powder
| in their horns, was water. The world
| was water. And growing colder.

around them. Their heads alone, pill

But the mortal WEAKNESS came back
to mis- face as David turned forward
again. All through the day he forced
himself forward, summOning every re

"Gcd be with you"
The woodsmen who crowded about
them at the news warned them against
the quest. To all objections they re-
turned the same disregard; their duty
Law plain before them. Those who
babe them goodby looked on them as
men going to certain death.
It was an hour tefOre sunrise, but
the sky was paling with the light pre-
ceding dawn. They drew deep breaths
and set off at q trot. They went on at
steady shuttle, their eyes alert fer
any signs. their ears strained for any
sound. At noon they stopped long
enough to eat a little of the smoked
venison in their packs, then went on
at the same pace. By night they had
covered more than thirty miles; the
Indians whom they pursued had prob
ably made forty miles with no more
| difficulty than they had put behind
| them twenty.
The two knew that it was losing
game, if one factor was not taken
into consideration - the probability
| that sooner or later TOinette's captors
would consider themselves beyond the
possibility of pursuit, would make
camp in the woods for two or three
days while they hunted game; it wa:
on this off-chance that the two yount

Night came on and a group Of men
gradually gathered ON the benches and
the grass in front of the Jefferson
house, as the tavern of Parmenas
Beckes, bearing on its signboard a
staring portrait of the statesman,
was grandly called. They talked in
low tones, and David. on the edge of
the crowd, could not distinguish their
words. He knew, however, that most
of the leaders Of the town were there:
Wash Johnson, the old postmaster,
with his deep voice booming out at
intervals; Henry Hurst and Henry
Van der Burgh, the judges; Benjapin
Parke, more recently appointed to the
bench; old John Small, who had been
sheriff twenty years before and
scalped with his own hand marauding
Indians whom his posse had pursued
and captured; Peter Jones, who had
| seen the error of his ways as tav-
ern keeper and had reformed and be-
come the territorial auditor and the
custodian Of the infant public library ;
the hot-headed Virginian, Thomas Ran
dolph, SCARED with the knife wounds
received in his row with "Sawney''
Mcintosh, the defamer of Harrison
the two sawbones, "Doc" Elias Nc
Nance and doc" Jake Kuykendall
and a dozen more. Francois Vigo, the
old Spanish merchant, who had seen

fine old fellow of seventy-fve.

CHAPTER xI.
BY Break Of Day.

Still the depredations of maraudlng
bands of Indians continued. Horses
were stolen; more than once settler
at work in field, far from help, was
surprised and murdered; his body,
found lying by his pillow, always bear
ing a red scar upon the forehead. In
dignation ran higher and higher.
David Laurence, who had enlisted as
soon as he reached Vincennes, drilled
daily with the grim frontiersmen. He
had told himself that Corydon should
be wiped from his memory; but, in
spite of all, his mind could not blot
out the image of a girl whose blue
ewes smiled above her smiling lips;
could not forget the little cabin which
she hallowed with her grace, the little
house on the edge Of the woods; lone
Nv. pathetically exposed to the unseen
danger of the dark forest that over

The sun that had been yelled at
midday of the seventeenth struggled
all the next day through gathering
| clouds and sank among the shoulders
of gray giants. David was walking in
| the twilight toward the Jefferson
house when the sound of flying hoofs
thudding along the dirt lane, the old
rue st. Louis, struck on his ear.
He turned idly to see who rode SO
furiously, and as the horseman drew
rein and pulled the smoking steed to
it's launches a cry of mutual recogni'
