A MOTHER is always anxious
"A to give the safest and best
medicine to constipated baby,
but is puzzled which to select.
Let her decide by the ingrcdi-
cnts on the package.
Every bottle ofDr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin has the formula
printed plainly on the outside
OF the carton under the portrait
OF DR.. Caldwell, who wrote the
prescription in 1892. You will
find that it is n combination of

a bottle sufficient to last n
family several months can be

The shades had been drawn closely

after he first crossed the threshold Of
the library, West was unable to dis
tinguish any occupant. He heard Sex
ton silently close the door behind him,
but 1t was not until she moved slightly
that he was able to perceive her pres

stood. Her voice broke the silence.

The guests had either retired to their

spacious grounds; at least none were
In evidence when West emerged On to
the side terrace, where Miss Natalie
and Percival Coolidge waited.
1t was not a long ride, the point
sought being a short submerged street
in the southwestern section of the city.
The runabout felt its way cautiously
forward through a jostling throng Of
screaming youngsters, and finally
turned into Arch street, only two
blocks in length, with low, two stored,
wooden cottages on either side. Per-
cival, plainly nervous at the surrounds

ran the car up against the curb.

cottage, which seemed deserted.
Coolidge ~unfastened the door, and
stepped out,
"Yes, It's all right" he answered
sharply. "You might wait here, West

The door was shut. The chimney indi-
Gated no sign Of smoke, the front yard
gave every evidence of long neglect.
An urchin, chasing a ball, plunged
~recklessly beneath the auto, emerging
with the sphere in his grimy fist. West
stopped him with a question.
"Who lives in thereT"
II don't know. These folks Just
come in They amt got no kids. Here
We are, Micky"
"Wait q minute. Here's n dime for

"When?"
Couple days, maybe. Hoollgans

sorter mlddlln' OF woman"
West, having distracted all the in
formation possible, made no further
effort. The knowledge thus obtained
as to the present occupants Of the cot
tage did not exactly coincide with the
story Coolidge had told. He had spo-
ken of q widow with three children In
destitute circumstances following the
fathers death. The boy asserted there
were no children in the family. And
they had just moved in, within a very
few days, during which time the neigh
borh0od had only glimpsed a mid
ding old" woman. 1t was strange at
least, adding distinctly to the puzzle
of the whole affair. West grew nerv-
Gus, wondering why the two should
remain so long within, out Of sight and
hearing. He had been waiting now
for ~three-quarters Of ar hour. He
opened the door Of the car and stepped
out upon the curb, almost tempted to
investigate the cause of delay. AS he
stood there undecided, the two
emerged from the cottage, and de-
scended the steps together. Through
the opened door he caught no glimpse
of any n within, yet some unseen
hand closed it quickly behind them.
