CHAPTER III-Continued

" reckon that'll be Blue?" Harris
asked of Evans and the lanky one nod

raj and each watched his chance to
put his rope on some chosen horse.
The roam kept others always between
himself and any man with rope but
at last he passed Harris with but one
horse between. Harris tipped his
moose across the back of the interven-
ing horse and over the blue roan's
head.
"You've been busted and rope-burnt

he led the horse out to saddle him.
The big blue leaned back, crouching
on his launches as the man put on
the hackamore. His eyes rolled wick.

the blue horse braced himself and
drew in long, deep breath.
'That's right, Blue, you swell up
and initiate yourself" Harris said.
'"I'll have to squeeze It out OF you"
He fastened the hind cinch loosely,
then returned to the front and hauled
on the latigo until the pressure forced
the horse to release the indrawn
breath and it leaked out of him with
a grooming sigh.

Harris took short hold on the

gently to the saddle, easing into it
without jar.

They left the horses dropping at the
several aitch rails before the post and
crowded in.
Some detached themselves from the
group and occupied themselves with
writing. Several started a game of
stud poker at one of the many tables.

OLD FOLKS SAY
DIR. CALDWELL
WAS RIGHT

The basis of treating sickness has not
changed since DR.. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1875, nor since he placed on
the market the laxative prescription he
had used in his practice.
He treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis Of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, combination of SIENNA and
other mild herbs, with. pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa-
ton, the safer for the child and for you;
And as you can get results in q mild
and safe way by using DR.. Caldwe!ps
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs?
A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. It is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.

AMERICAN GIRL, BORN IN JAPAN,
GAINS FAME IN EASTERN ART
Miss Lillian Miller, Daughter
of Consul General in Korea,
Visiting in Capital.
Ancient Wood Block Printing
Declared Dying Out as Me-
dunn of Artistic Skill.
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

It was cherry blossom time In Nippon.
A little American girl sat playing
beneath a tree in the beautiful garden
of her Toxic home.
Chatting in Japanese to her "amah,"
who stood near, she said, Little Amer
lean girls play with paper dolls: I
wish could have some to cut out"
The next day the faithful nurse
brought her charge an armful of color
full pictures. Lots Of ladies In beautiful
kimonas were to be seen in the pictures.
The child contentedly spent the day
cutting out the figures from the
pictures.
The years passed. The little girl,
grown to womanhood, had become one
of the foremost opponents Of the an
cient japanese art of wood-block print
ing and stood gazing upon an exhibit
ton of prints of old masters, which
was being held in the Japanese capital.
Particular Beauty.
Her eyes fell upon a print of par
ticular beauty. Ladies in colorful
Something about that print was
strangely familiar. Where had she
seen 1t before?
Suddenly, it came in flash. 1t was
the same as the print which as child
her "amah" had brought her to cut out
for paper dolls. Unknowingly, not real
izing its value, she had cut out at that
time one of the proofs Of an original
edition of a wood-print by one of
Japan's most illustrious masters.
This is one of many tales Of an in
tereSting childhood told by Miss Lillian
Miller, daughter of the American consul
general of Korea, who has arrived in
Washington and is visiting at the home
of Mrs. William c. Crane, 3232 Garfield
street.
Was Born in Japan.
Miss Miller was born and reared in
Japan and has mastered to an enviable
degree of finesse the Japanese brush
work in water colors on silk, and for
the past nine years has specialized in
the art of making and printing wood
blocks, an art which hourished In Japan

picked I'D the thread of her neglected
work as though it had been left on the
day before.
1t was not until 1929 that Miss Miller
began to specialize in wood-block print
ing. Her knowledge Of the "wood-carv-
ing" and the handling of innumerable
fine tools and gougers was acquired by
watching old japanese craftsmen at
work.
Miss Miller explains that japanese
wood-block printing Is radically d1f-
ferent from European wood block en-
craving. Records show that the art ex-
isted as early as the beginning of the
seventeenth century, but the greatest
development took place about the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century I'M
der the famous masters, Utamaro, Ho-
kusai and Hiroshige.
Perfection Is Attained.
The highest perfection was attained
during the period of the famous To-
kugawa Shogunate, at which time the
Japanese empire was closed against all
foreign intercourse.
Miss Miller is the only foreign artist
since 1890 who has competed in eXhi-
billions open only to native japanese.
She is regarded in Japan as a repre-
sentative Japanese artist. One of her
finest pieces of brush work, done in
black and white wash on silk, "a
Queens Pavilion in the Palace Garden
of Seoul" was entered recently in an
art exhibition in Toxic. where Miss
Miller was awarded one of the five
coveted golden scrolls" against 500
competitors.
In referring to her visit to the United
States Miss Miller said, II wish while
am here, to make plea for the wood
block print. It's dying process. In

to the wall by modern printing ma
