That rolling stone among authors, Harry de Windt, tells the following I good story of his adventures on the Yukon: One day he and a “partner” he had picked up in Dawson were going on a trip in midwinter. The cold was, of •nurse. Intense. Just as they were on the point of Parting, his companion dumped a number of hard, sharp-pointed articles in the sleigh, pitching them rather unceremoniously on top of a sack of oatmeal. “Look here," protested De Windt, "don’t put those tent pegs on the oat meal. They’ll poke their point* through th*- bag and there’ll be a leak.” “These ain’t tent pegs," explained the other, rather scornfully; “they’re oeefsteaks.” And so they were, cut and ready for iso on the line of inarch.

The Lost Letter | W i Bu GENEVIEVE LEE L .w*.s.ss,,K ! (Copyright, 1&17, by W. G. Chapman.) “What’s the answer, Leith?” Arnold Leith turned with a guilty start. He flushed slightly. Then he greeted his friend, Warner Bliss, with what under the circumstances was positive effrontery. “To what?” he challenged, with all due affected innocence. “That letter. Why, you held on to it s.s if you were afraid to let it go. or performing an Incantation over it.” “Nonsense!” declared Arnold, but it was true, nevertheless. The subject changed, he strolled a square with Bliss and then was glad to be alone with his cherished thoughts. “Ada will get the letter in the morn ing,” he soliloquized. “She will an swer It so the reply will reach me by tomorrow evening. That is, if she does not deem me presumptuous and not an swer at all,” and he sighed suspense fully. Arnold had no right to expect that disappointment, but, when a man is in love life is one constant alternation of hope and despair. It was expectancy that kept him on pins and needles the next day. No letter. Anxiety, intense and growing, signalized Wednesday, Thursday it was bleak, blank despair. “I’ve got my answer,” breathed Ar nold dejectedly. “Ada cares nothing for me and her reply to ray appeal Is — silence.” So his dream of love was over. He nade up his mind that happiness was lot for him. He tried unsuccessfully 1 ,ar ~ ” J Struck a Rock and Overturned. to analyze what was bewitching ami what was cruel in the souls of the op posite sex. "I can’t stay in Dayton,” was his re solve. “It would be added misery to see Ada and feel that I was debarred from being even so much as a friend.” “The quicker I go the bettor for both of us,” decided Arnold the day follow ing, for lie had passed Ada on tlie street. Site was with some girl friends. Ar nold lifted his hat, but bis face was smileless, for the sight of the girl he loved crushed him. Ada directed a strange glance at him. It might have been reproach. Arnold fancied it to be coldness. He wondered how one formerly so kind and tender could be stow on him less than friendly greet ing. “It’s the way wilh ail womankind!” he decided bitterly. “I’ve got my les son. She was only trilling with me all along.” As to Ada —but developments, unex pected and almost tragic, in a few days brought to the surface what Ada thought. Her friends noted that she was strangely reserved and depressed. In her secret soul Ada knew that she was desperately distressed and un happy. She wandered about the pretty home garden lost in subdued reflection. She shunned her girl friends. Her sisters wondered If she were ill and her mother, noticing the discontinuance of visits of Arnold, probed the problem In her womanly way, and expected daily to receive the sobbing confession of a disappointed love victim. “You've got to come!” cried her small brother, Tom, disturbing Ada’s mournful reverie as she sat gazing at nothingness from a seat on a garden bench. “Come where!” inquired Ada. with lack-luster es’es and wearied voice. “To the barn. Haven't you noticed? We’ve been three days getting up a show. Say, sis, it’s just grand. Pro gram and all that. Come along, you’ve got to be a audience.” Ada smiled wanly as she allowed Tom and a neighbor’s little girl to pull her along to the rear of the grounds. Outside it was a packing box bearing the legend: “Show —admission two cents.” An urchin with some paper squares before him and a little pile of coppers, in a businesslike way handed Ada a “ticket,” as he dubbed it and the change for a nickel. Ada entered the show and sat down on a board stretched across three kegs. About a dozen children were riotously discuss ing what lay behind the shawl, tacked up as a curtain before an improvised stage. Ada sat fumbling her ticket of ad mission in her nervous fingers. She had no heart for entertainment or jol lity. Her glance chanced to fall to the ticket In question, reading: “Admit One.” Then as she turned it over she uttered a sharp cry, arose to her feet md hastened outside. She sought out THE SEA COAST ECHO, BAY ST. LOUIS, MISSISSIPPI her brother. To a gaping group of urchins who stood outside the channel] circle, bemoaning the lack of tlie precious two cents that wonld admit them to- a wonderland of charm and novelty, she pounced upon Tom. He was dilating upon the “program” about to commence with true show manlike fervor and exaggeration. She checked him by clutching at his arm, her face so pale, her eyes so glowing that Tom stared, half frightened. “Tom,” she challenged sharply, “where did you get the papers to make these ‘tickets,’ as you call them?” “It was an old letter I found under the hat rack,” replied Tom, innocently. “Right near the shelf where the folks put their letters to be mailed. I thought someone had thrown it away.” Ada uttered a positive groan. It was unmaidenlike, perhaps, but she could not restrain the expression. The crumpled ticket clutched in her hand, she hurried from the garden. She w-as glad to reach the wild stretch of woods half a mile distant. She reached the river where the little skiff she often used was beached. “Oh, to be alone, all alone—to think, just think, and cry my heart out!” she moaned, and once adrift she started to do that, allowing the frail bark to drift as it listed. Alas! for blurred sight and reckless abandonment to grief! The boat struck a rock, overturned, and Ada with a shock and a scream went under the surface of the water. Then a blank, and, finally restored conscious ness, she opened her wondering eyes to find herself lying on the grassy bank of the stream, a man’s coat folded up under her head and its owner kneeling by her side, chafing her cold wet hands and gazing anxiously upon her. "I —I fell overboard,” she uttered faintly and then sat up and dumbly stared at her rescuer —Arnold Leith. “I was fortunate to be near at hand,” he spoke, a certain constraint In his tones. Ada was wavering from the fright and shock of her misadventure. Some thing in her face encouraged Arnold to sit down beside her, his broad shoul ders half supporting her. “When you feel a little stronger,” he spoke, “you must let me help you home.” “There —there is something to tell you first,” she said, and there she broke down, covering her face with her hands. Then she removed them, but her eyes evaded his quick, eager glance. “Today,” she continued, and her voice sank almost to a whisper, “today I wont to a show —” He stared. Was she becoming deliri ous? Ada was trembling. She had to pause for a moment. “To a show,” she resumed, “and bought a ticket, and it —it was one of a lot cut from a letter I wrote and that missed the mail —brother —mistake. It should have gone to you.” He thrilled, even amid her incoher ency. Arnold caught a hint of the truth. “Do you mean that an answer to that letter of mine miscarried?” he asked, his soul in her eyes. •‘Yes, that was it" and —” “And the letter said?” She met his glance now. It was all that was needed, for in the depths of those bonny blue eyes Arnold Leith read love ineffable. Music and Beverages.

YOUTH DIES FOR HIS DOG Massachusetts Eoy Ends His Own Life Rather Than Poison His Puppy Pet.

T. Ward, swallowed the deadly tab jet and died in his pet’s stead. Several hours after he had left his foster-father’s store, with instructions to make way with the dog, his dead body was found in a shed at his home. The boy had scrawled a note on a piece of paper, which was found by his side. It read; “Don’t kill Big Puppy; I died in his place.” The incidents leading up to the trag edy were explained by Mr. Ward, whose wife was in a hospital, her sick ness being pronounced typhoid fever. A physician of the city had stated that typhoid germs were readily carried by pets, and Ward decided that the boy’s dog should he killed. The youngster objected strenuously, but was told to take a poison tablet and feed it to his pup. Rather than cause the death of his pet, the boy swallowed the tablet himself.

SYRUP OF FISS FOR A CHILD’S BOILS It is cruel to force nauseating, harsh physic into a sick child. Look back at your childhood days. Remember the “dose” mother insisted on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With • our children it’s different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children’s revolt is well-found ed. Their tender little “insides’’ are injured by them. If your child’s stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious “California Syrup of Figs.’’ Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative’’ handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweet en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor row. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of “California Syrup of Figs,’’ which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv.

Their signals of distress are easily recognized and in clude such symptoms as backache, de pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges, dropsy, gout. "The very best way to restore the kidneys to their normal state of health,” says t)r. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
