Millions of Families Depend
onDr. Caldwel's Prescription

When DR.. Caldwell started 70
practice medicine, back In 1875, the
needs for a laxative were not %
great as they are today. People
lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty Of
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic phys
1cs and purges for the relief Of CON.
etipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human BE-
lngs to put into their system. So
he wrote a prescription for Q lAx2-
tive to be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
shat he used early in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is q liquid
vegetable remedy, intended for
women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such q mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimnlant a. Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and is now the largest selling kquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions of bottles are used . year
proves that it has won the confidence
of people who needed it to get re-
lief from headaches, biliousness,
Aatulence, Indigestion, loss of aPpe'
1ite and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia
colds and fevers.
Millions of families are now never
without DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, and if you will once start using
It YOU will also always have Q bot
1le handy for emergencies.

"IIe came home SICK" Abne.
said; "and he came when Ella was
sick. We carried him up to the
house on a stretcher and put him
in the bed, and Ella got out of
her bed and went and sat in a
chair by his bed and they talked,
just the two of them. He had had
a hard time in the west there, and
sometimes he went for days with
out food, prospecting the hills with
a man named Jarling, his partner.
Then they found copper, and it
was when they were both pretty
well played out; it was question
whether they would either of them
last until they could reach civiliza-
ton. So they drew tip a couple
of papers-if either Of them died
all the other had was to go to
the one left alive. John told Ella
that as he lay there dying, and
then he died"
THAT night" said Simon Judd,
Eyes, he died that night"
Abner Dart said. $50 Ella went
back to her bed and sent for me,
and she told me what to do. You
remember old Doc Worley, Si1neo
Always drunk. He was drunk
when we sent for him, and we got
him drunken, and he signed death
certificate and ended up that spree
with the tremens. The rest was
easy enough. You were at the
funeral, Sine You never guessed
it was John we were burying when
we said it was Ella"
"No, it fooled me easy enough"
Simon Judd said. Typhoid was
what Ella had had and they had
cut off her hair and none of US
had seen her since she was took
sick. / thought how bad she
looked, but that was all"
$50 we had John get WELL"
Abner Dart said. "We had him
sick for a couple tf weeks and
then we had him get we'll enough
to walk around with a cane. and
presently he was well enough to
leave town"
Il went to the station with him
myself-hauled him in one OF iay
rigs" Simon Judd said. 'We
talked about when we were kids.
I was fooled, black my catsf'
"She went to Chicago, Ella did,"
Abner continued, "and after awhile,
when she had gathered up the
loose ends of Johns affairs, shs
came down to New York and goi
settled here and l failed in business
D the way we had arranged and came
to Westcote and she gave me
money to start in again. For Z
month or two we pretended to be
strangers to each other; then We
got acquainted and ! was the only
close friend she had, and she was
the only close friend / had. She
began speculating in Wall Street
and did well-she was a wonderful
woman that way. But all the while
she was worried. That old partner
of Johns, Jarling, kept her wor-
ried all the time She could never
fnd him-a word of him now and
then and then he was lost. II
might be hve years or ten years
between times and then she would
hear he was alive and then no
more news of him for another long
stretch"
"And if Jarling knew the real
John was dead he could claim a
million or SO, hey?" Simon Judd
asked.
That's what worried her"
Abner Dart said. "She got so she
thought more of money than OF
her life. And then"
He stopped and hid his face in
his hand.
"She poisoned the first one.

"Why not?" .

why not!"
Because he don't want to be
worried with it, Simon Judd ex-
planned. He don't want a funeral
on his mind whilst he's got to
think what he's going to do and
say about bein' married to John
Drane. He's got lot of thinkin
to do, Richard, that undertaken
has. There's a terrible lot Of ques-
tions in his mind right now. He's
got to decide whether he's goin'
to admit he knew John Drane was
a woman or not; he's got to decide
whether he's goin' to whether he's
goin' to admit he's John Drane's
husband or not; he's got to decide
when to say they were married,
and why he never told. He's
busy man right now, Richard, you
bet your boots! And he don't want
20 take no time off to have to
think of no funeral preparations"
"I'll call him up and tell him to
come here" Brennan said, and he
went into the hall and did so. "He
will be here Immediately" he said
when he returned to Simon Judd.
"You meet him and keep him down
here; I'm going up and see If the
officers have found anything new"
The undertaken drove his own
car at times and he arrived in it
before long, and Simon Judd met
him on the veranda. The fat
Iowan was standing at the head
of the steps as the smaller man
mounted and he pushed his hat
back on his head and put his hands
in his pockets, jingling his coins
and keys.
Brennan wanted to see me-" the
undertaken said, pulling off the
gloves he wore when driving.
$50 did l Abner," Simon Judd
said, grinning at the little man. >!
been wantin' 20 have good old
talk with you ever since we shook
hands last night. Been long time
since we seen each other, amt it"
The little undertaken showed no
surprise, he attempted no evaslons.
He was not even annoyed by.
Simon Judd's words; his only ex-
preston was of worry and wearl-
ness combined. He went to chair
and seated himself and notioned
Simon Judd to sit near him. He
fumbled at his beard, not knowing
exactly what to say. Simon Judd
spoke first.
"I told Brennan you didn't kill
her." he said. Il told him you
wasn't the sort to do such a thing,
Abner."
The information did not seem to
cheer the undertaken much; per-
haps he did not rightly hear what
Simon Judd had said
"Sime," he said, Il knew you
knew me last night. was scared
last night, Sine"
"Yeh? Thought I'd got track
of somethin' out home, huh? Why,
you poor old feller!"
"When you said you were going
to be detective" the undertaken
explained. Eyes. l thought sure

place Suddenly John Drane is murdered,

Amy Drane that her "uncle" is a woman
and not a man.
All the servants in the household are
sickly, and it is revealed that John Drane
never discharged a servant for i'll health.

poses to Brennan that he go partners"
with Brennan in the solution of the crime.
Brennan accepts, then Judd declares that
Amy is not John Drane's niece or any rel
ative of Drane. Mrs. Vincent, housekeeper.
tells Brennan that Drane picked his ser.
wants from among the chronic patients at
the hospital. DR. Blessington is asked II
he mad ever noticed any special change IN
Drane.

astonishes the doctor by asking when

Simon Judd explained But it
amt so. I don't take no stock i'll

to do it and in the second place

says. Are you goin' TO telephone
