In the DAYS Of Our Forefaihers

When America was young, the
wise pioneer women learned to
gather, in woods and fields, the
remedies the Indians used3 From
the rafters of colonial houses hung
great punches of dried roots and
herbs. From these, in times of
sickness, the busy mother brewed
remedies for her family.
From roots and herbs, Lydia r..
Pinkham, descendant OF these
sturdy pioneers, made her Vegetable
Compound. For more than half a
century this dependable medicine
has been taken by women with
very satisfactory results.

unified candles revealed the young
lord and the downcast girl and
the long-limbed, sombre thing at
his feet, that twitched and half
moved in the very act of dying.
There was a simultaneous gasp.
The candle-bearers and the rest
checked as though their hearts had
actually stopped beating, forbid
ding an advance. Gervais looked
at them and beyond them with
eyes that seemed, in the tremulous
light, to glitter.
There came a woman's scream,
like harpy's for sharpness. Sa-
bine, elemental in her curiosities
as any ragpicker's tousled-haired
child, had risen instantly from her
stiffened knees at the sound of
the knife-cry and the frightened
scurry of feet.
"Gervais! Oh, sirs! He is be-
spelled. Look at the witchw
And at that moment the girl,
Sidonia, reviving, lifted her drop
ped head and moaned and shud-
dered and slid a convulsive arm
about the neck of her supporter.
Gervais raised the wetted dagger.
"Hear, all of you! By the pow
err of Heaven | have overcome Sa-
tan, or one of his chief ministers.
This girl is freed from him. She
is Gods ward and my betrothed
wife. See for yourselves"
He was so big with triumph, so
outside and above his reticences,
his quick, sensitive awkwardness
of the spirit, that he was almost
another person, a stranger to them.
They hesitated for a breath,
their eyes staring, and then moved
as with one impulse.
The light of the several candles
fell fully upon what was to be
seen.
"Oh-h-" screamed Sabine again,
but with a different note. This
was genuine: all the soul she had
had suffered a strong shock.
"Oh-h-h! Heaven save US"

the American OF European of to-
day is different from the native
of India, where they have neither
forgotten nor learned anything in
the last thousand years.
The strangers open their packs
and exhibit extra fine colored
earths for skin painting and fine
flints that make the crippled
artisan exclaim in admiration. To-
morrow, they will barter these
things for skins and other necessi-
ties. Among their treasures is a
rough diamond which they call,
white flint" With this, they show
that it is possible to drill hole in
ordinary flint.
Then they have sharks teeth,
jewels more precious than the eye
tooth Of a lion, because they come
from the bitter waters at the West
ern end Of Of the universe. The
jaw Of old Moonface, the fresh
water fisherman. drops lower than
anyone's when ne hears these
sharks described, possibly some
what exaggerated.
But tho main treasure they
swap is talk. Not a word that
falls from the lips Of that inter-
prefer will be- forgotten. 1t is their
education. PredmOst men lived on
the plains Of Moravia which is
now part Of Czecho-Slovakia and
in those early days, there extended
long wind-swept stretches, which
invited wanderers from East and
West 70 pass his door. The inter
course and exchange Of ideas kept
certain favored localities abreast
of the times and far ahead of the
bulk Of humanity shut off by
jungles and mountain ranges.

South to the not lands. As likely
as not they make no mention of
going around the Mediterranean
Sea, because there is some evidence
that at that time this body of salt
water was only a fertile valley.
Perhaps they relieve the mind Of
the rheumaticky old chief by as
surfing him that there will be no
more inyaSions of the Gro Magnon
men, because the last survivors of
the lost Atlantis" have settled
down, and Western Europe is at
peace. II will take many hours to
tell the story Of the sinking At
lantis, how the sea rose and swal-
lowed whole race and its country,
a thing that science is not yet GER
tain about, but which may have
been the original version of the
flood.

lives a race of apes (orang- Utans)
and race of yellow men, with
solemn. unwrinkled brows, like the
Orang-Utans, and who sit cross
legged in the Buddha position, just
the way that ape sits.
The Predmost man, whose an
ccstOrs came from the East, are
able to confirm this, and give
their guests much valuable in
formation-where hunting is good
and where the bad lands lie, what
tribes to avoid and how to APP
proach those that are approach
able, how TO appease river spirits
so they won't be drowned in
crossing, and other bits Of in
formation and misinformation.

with distended stomachs, would go

and the tribes own sorcerer make
everyone's hair rise with sleight-
of-hand miracles.
From this the talk turns to
ghosts and devils and how to get
on the right side of the spirits that
run the world. There are good
spirits which nobody bothers with,
because they will treat you right
anyway. The important ones are
the evil spirits, and there is much
learned discussion of how to buy
them off with ceremOnials and
burnt offerings and brighten them
away with charms, amulcts and
mystic words.
Some of these words are 50 ter
rife that only the sOrcerer with his
fireproof mouth can utter them
and live. That is why he keeps
them secret. The mighty words
do not always work, but that is
because atmospheric conditions
are not right or somebody is using
counter magic.
Even this thrilling wisdom pals
at last, and as the stars and mos
quitOes come out, browsing heads
begin to nod over bulging
stomachs, and they drop their
great shOvel-like ivory spoons,
evidently not too big for their
capacious mouths. 1t has been a
wonderful day for everyone; even
the women and children have not
only filled their stomachs with
food, but their eyes and ears with
marvels. II is the end Of a perfect
day, but the end is far from
perfect.
Suddenly green eyes fash in the
dark, there is swift patter Of soft
paws, snarling and swapping Of
jaws as a pack Of wolves, enticcd

heard bowling in the distance all
day, and the fires in front Of those
tents should not have been me-
elected while their owners were
hanging around the sorcerer, shud
dering at his ghost stories. Every
one springs to arms, and after
few minutes of furious combat
and hurting of firebrands the pack
goes bowling away into the dark
ness.
When it is all over the tribe has
TO its credit half dozen dead
wolves, but it has lost one baby,
a good many pounds of meat and
several of its members have been
badly bitten. Besides this, they
have all been thoroughly walked
up and the digestion of that huge
meal ruined. They are now
doomed to a night of dyspepsia
and nightmares, in which they will
sec everything the sorcerers told
them about.
Our ancestor, some 10000 years
ago. lived violently and loved vio-
lrntly and often died violently, his
caves and skins swarmed with YER
min, and he had no protection but
hi good right arm and untaught
wits against the most dangerous
animals in the world. No insur-
ance company could afford to
write a policy for such an extra
hazardous and short life as his.
And yet between the fights and
the famines he may have been as
happy az we are today. Anyway,
he was brave, intelligent, aggres-
slvc, two-fisted ancestor, afraid of
nothing but ghosts. We can all
be proud Of him, and the world
owes Professor Absolon a debt of
gratitude for revealing him to as.

stopped to strike.

against the shoulder of the Young

the pious women, hysterical with
fear and hate. 1t was the final

Behind her a violent scuffle
shocked the grim, sacred dignity
of the church, as half a dozen men
flung themselves upon Gervais to
disarm him. He fought like man
possessed. Perhaps the fallen girl
heard the struggle. But her long
struggle was over. She was a fet-
ter, whose only good is that it can
be broken.
