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

WHAT DR. CALDWELL

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

"Run fast!" be hissed. "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."

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

An ax was tightly gripped In the

was too precious to wait, but bofore
I could say as much I beard a faint

"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

"If we can find the cabin, we ran

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

17.M and was commissioned a lieuten

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,

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
