I 1 Distant I f . I Nfr By I arf and Gnarled Bishop Bristol sn Id at dinner In Washington : "Old age mellows some of us, while others It ninkos hard and gnarled. "Jethro, an aged woman said to her aged husband, we've lived together Dearly fifty years now, Helgho, It can't last forever. It won't be long before one of us will hare to go.' "'Don't worry, Hannah,' the old man soothed her. 'Don't worry, my dear.' "'No,' she said, "but I was Just thlnkln', Jethro, that when It does happen I'd kinder like to Uve In Miami.' " This Little Girl Got Well Quick "Just after her third birthday, my little daughter, Connie, had a serious attack of In testinal flu," says Mrs. It W. Turnage, 217 Cadwaliler St., San Antonio, Texas, "It left her very weak aud pale. Her bowels wouldn't act right, she bad no appetite and nothing agreed with her. "Our physician told os to give her some California Fig Syrup. It made lier pick up right away, and now she Is as robust and bnppy as any child In our neighborhood. I give California I I'lg Syrup full credit for her wonder-1 Jul condition. It Is a great thing for children." 1 Children like the rich, fruity taste j of California Fig Syrup, and you can ' give It to them as often as they need It, because It Is purely vegetable. For ever 50 years leading physicians have recommended It, and Its overw helming eales record of over four million bot tles a year shows It gives satisfaction. Nothing compares with It as a gentle hut certain laxative, and It goes fur ther than this. It regulates the stom ach and bowels and elves tone and strength to these organs so they con tinue to act normally, of their own accord. i There are many Imitations of Call fornla Fig Syrup, so look for the name ."California" on the carton to be sure yon get the genuine.

CALDWELL LEARNED IN 47 YEARS PRACTICE A physician watched th results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipa tion will occur from time to time. Of next importance, then, is how to treat It when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, bene his remedy for const!- Pition, known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup epsin, Is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the system and is not habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant tasting, and youngsters love It, Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physios and purges. lie did not believe they were good for amlxsly'i system. In a practice of 47 years be never saw any reason for their tine when fcyrup Pepsin will empty the howls just as promptly. , Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement.

"To the Watergate 1" Pom I no's voice thundered a com tumid. The Uuondnga muttered: "The Ottawa chief tells his children to watch the gates aud tin stockade and kill anyone trying to get out" Ouce outside the lodge and we were In darkness. Thirty yards away and we bad lost ourselves In a wild crowd of savages. Dut as we pressed on Pontlac's stentorian voice gradually reached an Intelligence here and there; and from different points and in all the dialects of the northern and Ohio tribes, the word was pasted to guard the stockades and gates, "Take the man Ueland alive 1" roared a voice; and I knew that Beaovlas at Isst bad connected my Identity up with my French name and that Beau Jcu now understood all. "Why this way?" I asked the Onon daga as we reached the stockade on the river front "Stand on my shoulders, white brother, and go over," be directed. "There's the witch-woman" "She's on the other side. Shall we Join her, or face about and die like chiefs?" I scrambled to bis shoulders and went to the top of the timbers. 1 reached down a hand, but scorning all assistance Round Taw sv-armed over the barrier. The two of us dropped to the ground within a few feet of the river. It was very dark and I was com pletely bewildered. "This way, mister," called a low voice. The Onondaga dragged me after him. My band reset d on a canoe, "Who's there?" I whispered. "Daughter of witches," was the half laughing, balf-sobblng reply. "Dut please don't stop to talk, mleter." It was time I scrambled Into the canoe, for a chorus of yells was now raised on the other side of the stock ade and only a few feet away. I tripped over a rifle as the Onondaga pushed the light craft Into the cur rent. 1 picked It up and found It familiar to my bands. "Whose rifle U this?" I whispered. "Hush!" cautioned the girl Then proudly, "It's yours. I was at the door when the trouble began. I reached In and took It when Mr. Beau vals commenced calling yon a spy." "Talk will kill us," grunted the On oodags as be pushed a paddle Into my bands and began working des perately to reach tbe slack water along the opposite bank. Ills warning was timely for I could bear the plop, plop of heavy bodies dropping over the stockade. There came an explosion of mad rage that made my heart wince. The Onondaga proudly la formed os: "They have found Little Wolf In the lodge. I crept under the wall and shot bltn with bis own arrow, lit made a choking noise. The Wolf man thought some of those outside would know tbe truth. There was Pontlac lie talks with ghosts and they tell him secrets. It wss he who told Lit tie Wolf to kill mo. Tontine saw me at Detroit and knew my heart a warm for the English. Little Wolf was to shoot me through the bole In the robes when I danced by. If my white brother had not been In dan ger, I should have shot Pontine after telling him to march by with the others." "They are over the wall; they will take canoes and follow us!" I warned. "Milter, 1 spoiled all the canoes I could And before going to the boos where yon was eating. They can't catch os with boats." "Tou hsve done well, little woman. What does Round Psw do now?" We fere at the opposite shore. "We will go op the river Instesd of down," he answered. "They will think we went down to the Ohio. If the man r.eauvols bad not come we would have shown them some new magic." "Von knew about Beouvalsl" I asked Round Paw. "The witch-woman told me. She asked my help. She waited outside the bouse. to stop Bcsuvals from see ing yoo. It was the wltch-womno who said we would leave by water. She was to be outside the stockade by tbe water-gate. She has a very strong medicine," "So It was yoo who saved me, little woman," I said to ber, "Lor's sake I Don't believe nothing that Injun tells you. Ue saved you; not me. And now I can't go to Can ada." "Walt until after the war. It will be I short war," I told her, little real izing my fnllablllty as a prophet. "We must leave the river before the first light," spoke up the Onondnga. "Pontlac will lend tbe chase. He li a very great man. He knows we took to water. He will send men along both shores to find where our trull leaves the river. He will throw muny men between os and Braddnck. If the witch-woman tukes to the air snd files like a bird, then nound Paw and bis brother can wnlk slowly and laugh st the wild Ottnwns." lie tie disappointed when 1 told lUustrmtlons WIfTJ Sartlce him the girl could not fly like a bird aud that any plans we mude must In clude her. I told hltu of my efforts to shield Atlnqtilppn's village from at tack and expressed my tear that Beau vals would now do the thing I had convinced him he should not do. This furnished the Onondaga with a double errand to the Delaware village: ho must warn the woman sachem and tell Cmuilt to carry my warning to the army that the Turtle Creek route, though rough, would be free from suc cessful ambuscades. "You will take tbe same tnlk, but separute from the bouebreaker," 1 added. "The woman and I will leave you at the mouth of Turtle creek and follow It up for a bit and seek the army In that direction. Surely one of the three of us men wllj take tbe tulk through to Braddock." CHAPTER VIII " Our Orendas Are Strong Hulf a mile below the mouth of Turtle creek the Mononguhela grew very shallow with scarcely more than a ripple of water In places. The three of os held a brief conference "Set Me Down I Set Me Oownl" and decided that Round Taw should take the canoe to the western bank and make Allaqulppa's town afoot The girl and I waded to the eastern shore. We left the river In the first gray light of morning and ran swiftly, the girl's thin face revealing ber deter mination not to hinder my progress by any display of weakness; and as we ran she spied out the country ahead while I kept watch over our back-track. Every time I glanced be hind me 1 fully expected to behold a flitting form of a savage. We arrived at Turtle creek, a short distance above Its mouth, without bearing tbe Indians' cry of discovery. We forded the creek and paused for a minute for her to rest Our breathing spell was terminated by a faint halloo. The voice came from far off, and as It was not repeated we did not agree as to the direction. The girl Insisted It was north of os, while my ear placed It as coming from tbe northwest, at about tbe point on tbe Monongabela where we had aban doned the canoe. Thankful It was not ahead of os e resumed our flight We had not proceeded more than fifty rods before the girl, who was In the lead, gave a little cry and came to a bait "Where?" I whispered, glaring about to find what had alarmed her. "Among the bramble-bushes," she faintly replied, pointing ber short rifle toward a thicket and pressing a band to ber side. I saw It and directed: "Go ahead a bit and wait for me." It was no sight even for a border bred woman to behold unless grim necessity compelled. After she had passed on I examined the dead man. Ue had been shot through the body and scalped. He was a Frenchman, for be wore the white uniform with Many Old Cloisters Ancient cloisters, or parts of them, are still to be found In luuny parts of Loldon ; they are reminders of the d.iya when the city boasted spacious monastic establishments.

They were do IP by Irwin Myers bluck facings that distinguished the murines from the troops of the line, whose fuel tigs were blue. As the bun sards had not commenced to gather II whs plain he must have met death twelve hours back, or In the evening. An ax was tightly gripped In the right hand and (here was a gash In the haudle where another blade had struck. In the darkness he and bta assailant had fought blindly, I overtook the girl, who was stand ing before a thick tangle of pea-vines and trailers, When I would have taken the lend In striking this bar rlcr, she motioned me to wait. Time was too precious to wait, but bofore I could say as much I beard a faint cry. "I knew I beard It," she muttered. "But 1 Is only tbe howl of a wolf." "Indian lungs are behind that howl," told her. "It's up the creek." "Too think Injun made It, mis ter?" The howl was repeated and sounded clearer. "I'm positive." I said. As If to guarantee the certainty of my words the slgnnl was answered on our left and again from the direction of the river. "They are close after os," I whis pered. "They're calling to each other to meet on this creek. They'll And our trail. There's but one way open ; we must double bark by the Frailer cabin, and, If sighted before we enter the forest below It we csn take shel ter there and try to stand them oft till night" "If we can find the cabin, we ran make a good fight," she stoutly de clared. John Frailer, trader and black smith, was a stanch supporter of the Kngllsb. He bad served the colonics more than once as an Interpreter, and before coming to the mouth of Turtle creek had lived for twelve years at Venango, or until driven out by the French In 1753. He had been of as sistance to Colonel Washington la 17.M and was commissioned a lieuten ant In Trent's command when It was Instructed to fortify the forks of the Ohio. "I csn find the cubln easy enough, I assured her, and we swung out from the creek and doubled hack. As we ran we could bear the "wolves" howl, ing from three points of the compass, their signals sounding clearer each minute and proving that several hands would soon come together at the creek. I began to doubt the wis dom of proceeding farther toward the cabin. I feared we would he cut of? and surrounded. To turn our backs to the creek and plunge through tbe dense forest and trust our lives to our legs appealed as being the best plan. "Are you able to keep going all day through tbe forest?" I asked her. "I am very tired," she confessed, "It's so long since I had a good steep, mister. There wss last night" "I know," I broke In, for time wss all to short "Voo couldn't do It" A glance at ber pinched face told me she was fairly exhausted. And In our baste to make good time we had In spots left signs the savages could easily follow at a run. "The cubln It must be," I said and trying to speak cheerfully, "Frailer will have plenty of powder and bul lets. Perhaps some spare trade guns I" "Too could make It alone through the woods to the army," she said, ber words coming In Jerks. "I can make It oo faster than yoo can." "I'm thinking you're telling a lie, mister," she gravely rebuked, but re sumed running. "A quavering cry op tbe creek mnde my skin prickle. "Hang on to your rifle," I ordered as 1 Mixed ber and threw her over my shoulder, holding ber 'with one arm and carrying my own gun In my left band. With One spurt of speed I covered several hundred yards. She began kicking and squirming, and de manded : "Set me down I Set me down I Tou II git us both kilt!" I did as she requested, not because I was too weary to carry ber farther, but because her rifle was swinging wildly and striking the bushes and leaving a trull an ox could follow, (TO B CONTINUED.) in City of London htroyed with the fabrlo of old St. Paul's In 1004.
