The P[otters
A New Serial of
East and West
By Virginia Terhune
Van de Water
CHAPTER XLVIH.

Copyright, 1918. Star Company
The short cut" through the
woods was so rough that John But
ler and Elizabeth Wade had to go
slowly.
Yet they made few comments on
the unevenness of the trail. For
the past hour they had been talk
ing steadily. Now that all ques-
tions had been-for the present at
least-asked and answered, a si-
lence fell upon them.
But it was a happy silence, for
each was busy with thoughts too
deep for words.
Elizabeth was reviewing men
tally all that she had been through
this summer-the fears, her sink
ings of heart, above all her dread
of John Buffers anger with her for
the plot in which she had played
so large a part.
For it might have turned out
very differently. John might not
have recovered his health. Or he
might have been angry with Doug
las and herself.
She had not told her companion
of how little money Douglas had,
of how hard a fight he had to
make. That was something that
concerned her and her brother. She
was not so foolish as to fancy that
all her brothers secrets must be
confided to the man whom she was
10 marry.
She felt almost guilty as she re-
flected on how much smoother her
own path would probably be than
Douglass path had been. She had
no idea as to how much money her
betrothed had. She did not care.
She knew that he could support her,
and it did not matter how simply
they must live.
OF course Johns mother had
money, but John would not touch
that The probability was that he
must work just as hard for his liv-
ing now that he was restored to
health as must any other young
man who is not actually poor.
Perhaps he might carry on his
profession as scientific farmer. He
had proved what he could do with
this farm that had been sadly
neglected for years.
Her Spirits Drop
And now that she remem bered
the farm she recalled her anxiety
with regard to it, and her spirits
dropped suddenly. In her new
found happiness she had forgotten
that she must part with the place
that was so dear to her. Yet she
was glad that there was a chance
that Amos would not own it. that
John had n friend who might buy
the property. She wanted to know
something about this possible pur-
chaser.
John" She spoke so abruptly

Little wild animals" is the ex-

All too frequently these little So

no end of noise and do various other
things to try mothers patience.
The question is: How control
them when on your premises?
One mother reports a case. the
treatment OF which may interest
other mothers:
Two neighbor boys, aged four
and six, were pulling leaves and
twigs off the shrubbery. At the
dining table, the hostess re-
marked that she had been an

eral of the neighbors' children.
The moment she caught sight
of the two boys, she hastened to
the window, tapped it loudly
and, with a frown on her face,
motioned for them to leave. But
they didn't leave. Why"
The frown she wore was one rea-
son. Her tapping on the window

OLD AGE STARTS
WITH YOUR KIDNEYS

Science says that old age begins
with weakened kidneys and diges-
tive organs.
This being true, it is easy to. be-
lieve that by keeping the kidneys
and digestive organs cleansed and in
proper working order old age can
be deferred and life prolonged far
beyond that enjoyed by the average
person.

various kinds, that furnish the in
gradients for making a remedy, for
practically every i'll and ailment of
mankind. Medicines made from
roots, herbs, and barks which Ma
