BEDTIME STORIES 3

she actually had to. She didn't move
her head, but, OH. how she watched
Farmer Browns Boyl And how thank
ful she was that she had eyes placed
where she could watch without moving
her head,
Farmer Browns Boy approached
very quietly. He made no quick or
sudden movements At some little dis
tance from the nest from where he
could plainly see, he stopped and for
a long time watched Mrs. Longbill.
Then, with only a step or two between
pauses. he slowly approached, At only
a few feet distance he gradually moved
around SO that he was directly in front
of Mrs. Longbill Then he moved over
TO the other side and came forward a
little bit, until he was within three
feet of her Still she did not move.
Now. Mrs Longbill was showing good
sense Mind you, she was all ready to
take to her wings. if ii seemed neces-
Sary But as vet ii hadn't seemed
necessary. He knows my secret all
right" she thought He did see those
eggs Yesterday. He sees me right now
But he doesn't mean me any harm
No. sir he doesn't mean me any harm,
If he did he wouldn't stand still like
that He wouldn't be so careful TO
make no quick motions. I wonder if he
thinks / think he doesn't see me? l
would If it were not for yesterday. He
sees me all right Now l wonder what
he's going to do?"
Farmer Browns Boy was very slow
ly leaning over Gradually one hand
was lowered very, very slowly. 1t just
touched the feathers of the back OF
Mrs. Longbill, He held his hand there
for lust a moment or two. then just
as slowly withdrew it. In a few min
uteS he tried it again. Slowly, very
slowly and very carefully, he placed
his fun hand on the back of Mrs. Long
bill
II is difficult to say which felt the
greatest thrill-Farmer Browns Boy. at
having actually touched Woodcock
on her nest or Mrs, Longbill, at having
been touched by one of those two-leg-
ged creatures. But. whichever felt the
greatest thrill, both felt in equal meas
ure the true spirit Of friendship
/ wouldn't hurt you for the world"
thought Farmer Browns Boy.
He wouldn't hurt me for the world"
thought Mrs. Longbill
And SO she remained right where she
was

Mrs. Longbill Shows Sense.

Perhaps you can imagine the feeling
Of Mrs. Ionghili when, some time after
Farmer Browns Boy had left. she cau-
tiouSlv approached her nest. Hope and
ceSpair were in her heart. Would those
precious eggs still be there? How she
dreaded TO icokl But at last she was

four-thev were all there. For the first
time she hurried She looked them all

wished she knew.
The next day she had a chance 10

Prescription He Wrote
i'm 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When I started to practice medi-
cine, back in 1875, the needs for a
laxative were not a. great MS 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 pills, tablets and salt
waters for the relief Of constipa-
ton, and artificial remedies made
from coal tar, which / did not be-
lieve were good for human beings
10 put into their system. So /
wrote a prescription for a laxative
to prescribe to my patients.
The prescription for constipation
that ! used early in my practice,
and which / put in drug stores in
1892 under the name of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid
vegetable remedy, and ! have never
had reason to change it, I intended
il for women. children and elderly
people, and they need Just such a
mild, safe, gentle bowel stimulant
as Syrup Pepsin.
am gratffed to say that under
successful management my prescrip-
tion has proven its worth and Is
now the largest selling liquid laxa-
tive in the world. The fact that
millions Of bottles are used a year
proves that it has won the conf
dence Of people who needed it to
get relief from headaches, bilious
ness, fiatulence, indigestion, loss Of
appetite and sleep, bad breath, dvs-
pepsia, colds and fevers-
Millions of families are now never
