Fj-fo maintained his habitual
sparsily of words while they ate the
food Mrs. Hovre brought on a tray
hot from the cook's outlying do

took up his hat and. helped himself
to a handful of cigars from a box
on the flrep'ace mantel.

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.

a;id the puff of the donkeys. 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

All's Well That
x Ends Well M
By JANE McLEAN
"You want me to go, do you?"
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.

but she couldn't. 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

anything that she might turn into
money?
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.
