When they finished he rose, took up his hat and. helped himself to a handful of cigars from a box on the flrep'ace mantel. "I guess you'll be able to put In the time, all right," he remarked. yourself at home. If you take a notion to read there's a lot of books and magazines in my room. Mrs. Howe "1! show you." He walked out. Stella was con scious of a distinct relief when he was gone. She had somehow ex perienced a recurrence of that pecu liar feeling of needing to be on her gnar'l as if there were some curious, latent antagonism between them. She puzzled over that a little. But she did not spend much time puzzling over Jack Fyfe. Once out of her sight she forgot him. It was l-alm to her lonely soul to have some one of her own sex for company. What Mrs. Howe lacked in the higher culture she made up in homely perception and unassuming kindliness. Her husband was Fyfe's foreman. She herself was not a per manent fixture in the camp. They had a cottage at Roaring Springs, where she spent most "of the time so I that their three children could be' in school. "I was up here all through vaca tion." she told Stella. "But Lefty he got to howlin' about bein' left alone shortly after school started again, so I got my sister to look after the kids for a spell while I stay. T'l! be goin' down about the timp M.'. Benton's through here." Stella eventually went out to take a look around the camp. A hard beaten path led off toward where rose the distant sounds of logging work, the ponderous crash of trees CONSTIPATION IS A PENALTY OF AGE Nothing is so essential to health in advancing age as freedom and normal activity of the bowels. It makes one feel younger and fresher, aiul forestalls colds, piles, fevers, and other dependent ills. Cathartics and purgatives are violent and drastic in action and should be avoided. A mild, effective laxative, rec ommended by physicians and thousands who have used it, is far preferable. This is the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold by druggists under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It costs only Hfty cents a bot tle; a trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 456 Washington St., Monti cello, Illinois.

She followed that a little way and pres ently came to a knoll som4 300 yards above the beach. There she paused to look and wonder curi ously. A noble stretch of lake and mountain spread out before her gaze. Straight across the lake two deep clefts in the eastern range opened on the water five miles apart. She could see the white ribbon of foaming cascades in each. Between lifted a great mountain, and on the lakeward slope of this stood a ter rible scar of a slide, yellow and brown, rising 2,000 feet from the shore. A vaporous wisp of cloud hung along the top of the slide and above this aerial banner a snow capped pinnacle thrust itself high into the infinite blue. She went back to the house to converse upon domestic matters with Mrs. Howe until the shrilling of the donkey whistle brought forty-odd lumberjacks swinging down the trail. Behind them a little way came Jack Fyfe with sagging creel. He did not stop to exhibit his catch, but half an hour later they were served hot and crisp at the table in the big living room, There Fyfe, Stella and Charlie Benton, Lefty Howe and his wife sat down to gether. A man from the camp kitchen served the meal and cleared it away. For an hour or two after that the threo men sat about in shirt sleeved ease, puffing at Jack Fyfe's cigars. Then Benton excused himself and went to bed. When Howe and his wife retired Stella did likewise. The long twilights had dwindled to a misty patch of light sky in the northwest and she fell asleep more at ease than she had been for weeks. Sitting In Jack Fyfe's liv ing room through that evening she had begun to formulate a philosophy to fit her enforced environment —to live for the day only and avoid thought of the future until there loomed on the horizon some prospect of a future worth thinking about. The present looked passable enough, she thought if she kept her mind strictly on it alone. And with that idea to guide her she found the days slide by smoothly. She got on fam ously with Mrs. Howe, finding that woman full of virtues unsuspected in her type. .Altogether she spent a tolerably pleasant three weeks. Autumn's gorgeous paintbrush laid wonderful coloiing upon the maple and alder ar.d birch that lined the lake shore. The fall run of the salmon was on, and very stream was packed th 3 silver horde, threshing through shoal and rapid to reach the spawn ing grouni before they died. Oft every creek mouth and all along the lake the seal followed, to pray on the salmon, and sea trout and lakers alike swarmed to the spawn ing beds to feed upon the roe. The days shortened. Sometimes a fine rain would drizzle for hours on end, and when it would clear the saw toothed' ranges flanking the lake would stand out all freshly robed in white —a mantle that crept lower on the fir clad slopes after each storin. Early in October Charlie Benton ha 1 squared his neighborly account with Jack Pyfe. With crew and equipment he moved home, to begin work anew on his own limit To lie Continued WOMAN OF MIDDLE AGE Mr*.

The girl hesitated and then said j slowly, "Why, denr, It's a thins foiv you to decide for yourself, isn't it? 1 don't like to advise you,, but you know that I want you to do what is j right" "Sure you do, you wouldn't be the' kind of a pal you are if you couldn't i see things that way," the boy re- j turned. There was a look of the visionary In his eyes, and the girl's eyes, too,! were wide with dreams. He had j been called to the colors, and they had been married only live months. In the excitement of the moment the boy had forgotten this fact, and the fact that the girl would have to live while he was away, but she hadn't forgotten it. The fact loomed large in her thoughts, hut not because it wor ried her, nor because she would make it a reason for him to plead ex emption, she was too loyal for that, but because for the first time in her life she felt so utterly helpless, so unable to do her part in the big cause. Suddenly he thought of her, the wide look in his eyes faded and realities suddenly flooded his vision. "But you," he gasped, "what of you, how will you get along?" The girl laughed softly. She mar velled that she could in the face of her own misgivings. "Why how foolish you are, dear," she said lightly. "Just as if I couldn't get along somehow. Other women do, you know, you must't think of me at all." "But I do think of you. I justj must think of you. I'll plead ex emption Edith, and things may come out all right." "But I don't want you to," the girl, returned with sudden passion, "you make me feel ashamed, Walt, I tell you I'll get along, and I want you to go. Why you must go. Why you must go, that's all." At her decision the boy forgot that she might not have anything definite in mind, he thought only of the fact that she must know what she was about or she wouldn't be so emphatic, and with a whoop of excitement he threw his soft hat up in the air and caught it again. "All right, pal," he said boyish ly, "we'll do it." After he had left her, she returned to her sober serious thoughts of life. She wondered what she could do to keep herself for Walt while he did his duty in France. Agtin that feel ing of impotence swept over her. Why was she helpless? Why wasn't there some trade hat she could turn to, in order to maVe money? Then she could send her soldi<sr man away without a doubt in her mind. She thought of her different friends. They were all as helpless as she was, but not so willing to be independent. They would prob ably insist upon exemption claims.

Something would have to be done. A series of wildv thoughts swept through her brain. There wasn't time to take a sec retarial course now, ajid even if she wanted to she couldn't spare the money. She must hold on to their little savings and think with all her mind of something else. She remembered a remark her mother had made long ago, "If you can't think of a job you can fill, create one' for yourself," and Edith thought ruefully that this was just what she would have to do. She took stock of her assets.

Then she remembered. Yester day Carol Sanders had said envi ously, "I wish I had your talent for dressing, Edith. You don't spend half the money I do, and you al ways look better." The recollection of this brought still another remark that had been made last week. "Edith Hallory, where did you get that hat? "Made it myself." "Honestly? Well, it looks French, my dear. You certainly have a twist in those small fingers of yours." Edith smiled. Could she do it? Would her friends help; those who would not be deprived of their hus bands? Why, it would be just the thing, just the kind of work to keep her busy and interested. She might get other girls to help her out after she got fairly started. It would be something new, some thing different, something to take the women's minds oft the grim sub ject of war. As Edith thought it over, the idea kept broadening. At first she would offer her proposition, so much for a correct costume, ideas supple- j mented by personal aid, according ' to the amount paid. Why it would 1 be play, because she would love it, , and best of all, she would be doing her bit and helping Walt to do hia , duty. "Hello, little lady," said a laughing ' .voice as Mrs. Giles dropped down j besides her. "What are you think- : ing about, something pretty to deck ■ that pretty self of yours out in? What are you going to do for clothes , If Wait goes to the front, help the l • rest of us out?" "That's just what I am going to! 11 do," said Edith solemnly, looking , askance at Mrs. Giles' expensive but . badly constructed gown. And with s out a moment's hesitation, acting on , the impulse that there was no time , like the present, Edith made her first . business proposition. ; Walks Off 121 Pounds to Fool Physicians l 1 Seneca.
