At the first sign of auch dlsordev giro the child a teaspoonfiil of Dr. Caldwell's Byrup Pepsin at night on retiring and repeat the dose the following night It necessary moro than that wilt scarcely be noeded. You will find that the child will recover Ita accustomed good spirits at once and will eat and sleep normally. This remedy la a vast Improvement over nalts, cathartics, laxative waters and similar things, which are altogether too powerful for a child. The homes of Mrs. J.

It la really more than a laxative, for contains auperlor tonlo properties which help to tone and strengthen tho stomach, liver nnd bowels so that after a brief uso of It all laxatives can be dispensed with and nature will do Its own work.

THE LITTLE WIDOW A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to Have. "A little widow, a neighbor of mine, persuaded me to try drapo-Nuts when my stomach wns so weak that It would not retain food of any other kind," writes a grateful woman, from San Bernardino Co., Cal. "I had been 111 and confined to my bed with fever and nervous prostra tion for throo long months after the birth of my .second boy. Wo wore In despair until tho little widow's advice brought rellcr.

The dance leads to heavy gambling. In which over 1100.000 la staked Hnrnlsh loses his money and his mine but wins the mall contract. Ho starts on his mall trip with dogs and sledge, telling hla friends that he will ho In the big Yukon gold strlko at the start. Hurnlng Daylight makes a sonsntlonally rapid run across country with the mall, appeara nt tho Tlvoll and ta now ready to join his friends In a dash to the new gold fields. CHAPTER IV Continues In the meantlmo there was naught tOBhow for It but hunchrBut It was coming. As ho would stnko his last ounce on a good poker hand, so he staked his life nnd effort on tho hunch that tho future held In store a big strike on tbe Upper River. So he and his three companions, with dogs, and sleds, and Bnowshoes, tolled up tho frozen breast of tho Stowart, tolled on and on through tho wMte wilder ness where the unending stillness was never broken by the voices of men, tho stroke of nn ax, or the distant crack of n rlflo. Gold thoy fount! on the bars, but not In paying quantities, and In tho following May they re turned to Sixty Mllo. Ten dnys later, Harper nnd Jon La duo arrived at Sixty Mllo, and Day light, strong to obey tho hunch that had come to him, traded a third in terest In his Stewart town site for a third Interest In theirs on the Klondike Thoy had faith In tho Upper Country, and Harper left down-Ftrenm, with a raft-load of supplies, to start a small post at tho mouth of tho Klondike. "Why don't you tackle Indian Rlvor, Dnyllght?" Hnrpor advised, nt part Ing. "There's whole slathers of creeks and draws draining In up there, and somewhere gold just crying to be found. That's my hunch. Thoro'B a big strlko coming, nnd Indian River ain't going to be a million miles away." "And the place la swarming with moose," Joe Ladue added. "Bob Hen derson's up tbere somowbere, been there three years now, swearing something big Is going to happen, living off'n straight moose and pros pecting around like a crazy man." Daylight decided to go Indian River a flutter, as he expressed It: and lin gered a few days longer arranging bis meager outfit He planned to go In light, carrying a, pack of seventy-five pounds and making his five dogs pack as well, Indian fashion, loading them with thirty pounds each. Depending on the report of Ladue, be Intended to follow Bob Henderson's example and llvo practically on straight meat. When Jack Kearns' scow, laden wltb the sawmill from Lake Llnderman, tied up at Sixty Mile, Daylight bun dled his outfit and dogs on board, turnod his town-site application over to Elijah to be filed, and the same day was landed at the mouth of Indian. River. He continued down Hunker to tbe Klondike, and on to the sum mer fishing camp of the Indians on the Yukon. Hero for a day ho campod with Car mack, a squaw-man, and his Indian brother-in-law, Skookum Jim, bought a boat, nnd, with bis dogs on board, drifted down the Yukon to Forty Mile. Then It wns that Carmack, his brother-in-law, Skookum Jim, and Cultus Charlie, nnolhor Indian, arrived In a canoe at Forty Mile, wont straight to tho gold commissioner, and recorded three claims and a discovery claim on Basmnza Creek. After that. In the Sour dough Saloon, that night, they exhibit ed coarse gold to the skeptical crowd. Daylight, too, was skeptical, and this despite bis faith In tho Upper Coun try. Had he not, only a few, days be fore; Been Carmack loafing with his Indluns nnd with never a thought or prospecting? nut at elevon that night, sitting on the edge of his bunk und unlacing his moccasins, a thought camo to .him. Ho put on his coat and hat and went back to tho Sourdough. Carmack was still there, flashing his coarse gold In tho eyeB of an unbe lieving generation. Daylight ranged alongside of him nnd emptied Car macks snek Into a blower. This he studied for a long tttno. Then, from hlB own snek, luto another blower, ho emptied sev'ernl ounces of Circle City and Forty Mile gold. Again, for u long time, bo studied and compnrcd. Final ly, ho pocketed his own gold, returned Carmncks, and hold up his hand for silence. "Boys, I want to tell you-all some thing,' be said. "She's sure come the up-river strike. And I tell you-all, clear and forcible, this Is It. There alnt never been gold llko thnt In. a blower In this country before It'a new gold. It's got more sliver In It You-all can see it by tho color. Car mack's sure made a strike. Who-all'u got faith to come along with me?" No one volunteered. "Then whoall 'II take a Job from me, cosh wages In advance, to pole up a thousand pounds of grub?" Curly ParsonB and nnother, Pat Monahau. accepted, and, with bis cus ITsleBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBr J JSSSS JsBSBBBBBB M SBSSSSSSSsTT .iTssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssiRf 4bHbssV sbbbQbsbbsbbbsT tomary speed, Daylight paid thorn their wages In advance' and arranged tho purchase of the supplies, though he emptied bis sack In doing so. He was leaving tho Sourdough, when he sud denly turned back to tbe bar from the door. "Got another hunch?" was the query. "I sure have," he answered. "Flour's sure going to bo worth what a man will pay for It this winter up on tho Klondike. Who'll lend me some money?" On the Instant a score of tho men who had declined to accompany blm on the wltd-gooso chase were crowd ing about blm with proffered gold sacks. "How much flour do you want?" asked the Alaska Commercial Com pany's storekeeper. "About two ton." The proffered gold-sacks wero not withdrawn, though their owners wero guilty of an outrageous burst of merri ment. "What nro you going to do with two tonn?" tho storekeeper demanded. "I'll tell you-all In simple A, B, C nnd ono, two, three." Dnyllght held up one finger and began checking off. "Hunch number one: a big strike com ing in Upper Country. Hunch number two: Cnrmack's made It. Hunch num ber threo: ain't no bunch at all. It's a cinch. If one and two Is right, then flour Just has to go sky-high. If I'm riding hunches ono and two, I just got to ride this cinch, which Is number three. If I'm right, flour 'II bulance gold on the scales this winter." CHAPTER V. Still men were without faltb In the strike. When Daylight, with bis heavy outfit of flour, arrived at tbe mouth of the Klondike, ho found the big flat as desolate and tennntless as ever. Down close by tho river, Chief Isaac and hts Indians were camped beside the frames on which they were drying sal mon. Several old-times wero also In camp there. Having finished their summer work on Ten Mile Creek, tbey bad come down tbe Yukon, bound for Circle City. But at Sixty Mile they had learned of the strike, and stopped off to look over tbe ground. Tbey had Just returned to their boat when Day light landed his flour, and their report waa pessimistic. But an bour later, at bis own camp, Joe Ladue strode In from Bonanza Creek. He led Daylight away rrom the camp and men and told blm things In confidence. "She's sure tbere," he said In con clusion. "I didn't sluice It, or cradle It I panned It all In that sack, yes terday, on tbe rim-rock. I tell you you can snake It out of tbe grass-roots. And what's on the bed-rock down In the bottom of tbe creek tbey ain't no way or tollin'. But she'B big, I tell you, big. Keep It quiet, and locate all you can. It's In spots, but 1 wouldn't bo none surprised If some of them claims yielded as high as fifty thou sand. Tho only trouble Is that It's spotted." A month passed by. and Bonanza Creek remained ablet. A snrlukllnir of men had staked; but most of them. niter Making, had gone on down to The Whole Bottom Showed as if Cov ered With Butter. Forty Mllo nud Circle City. Tho few that possessed sufficient faith to re main were busy building log cabins against tbe coming of winter. Car mack and bis Indian relatives were oc cupied. In building a slulco box aud getting a head or water. Tho work was slow, for they had to saw tholr lumber by band rrom tho standing for est But farther down Bonanza were four men who had drifted In from up river, Dan McQllVary, Dave McKay, Davo Edwards, and Horry Waugh. Thoy wero a quiet party, neither ask ing nor giving confidences, and they herded by themselves. But Daylight, who bad panned tho spotted rim ol Carmnck's claim and shaken coarse Ml M (WW ATaaasaw 'id' Y ifWp y "i M' "sg-- y cOsi"4. if earn i WIGHT JACK (Copyright, 1910, by the Now York Herald Company.)

"Who-all'a Got Faith to gold from the grass-roots, and who had panned the rim at a hundred oth er places up and down tbe length of the creek and found nothing, wns cu rious to know wbat lay on bed-rock. He had noted tho four quiet men sink ing a shaft close by the stream, and ho bad beard their whip-saw going ns tbey made lumber for the sluice boxes. He did not wait ror an Invitation, but he was present the first day they sluiced. And at tbe end of five hours' shoveling for one man, be saw them take out thirteen ounces and a half of gold. It was coarse gold, running rrom plnboads to a twelve-dollar nugget, and It had come rrom off bed-rock. Tbe first fall snow was flying that day. and tbe Arctic winter was closing down; but Daylight bad no eyes lor the bleak-gray sadness of tbe dying, short-lived summer. He saw his vis Ion coming true, and on the big flat was upreared anew bis golden city of tbe snows. Gold had been found on bed-rock. That was tho big thing. Carmack's strike was assured. Day light staked a claim In bis own name adjoining three he bad purchased wltb plug tobacco. Thts gave blm a blcck two thousand feet long and extending In width from rim-rock to rim-rock. . Returning that night to his camp at the mouth or Klondike, he round In It Kama, the Indian chief he had left at Dyea. Kama was traveling by ca noe, bringing In the last mall of tho year. In bis possession waa some two hundred dollars in gold-dust, which Daylight Immediately borrowed. In return, bo arranged to stake a claim for blm, which ho wns to record when ho passed .through Forty Mile. When Kama departed next morning, be car ried n number or letters ror Daylight, addressed to all tho old-timers down river, In which they were urged to come up Immediately aud stake. Also Kama carried loiters of similar Import, glvon him by tho other men on Bo nanza. "It will sure be tho gosh-dnngdest stampede that over was,' Daylight chuckled, as he tried to vision tho ex cited populations or Forty Mile and Clrclo City tumbling Into pollng-boats nnd racing tho hundreds or miles up tho Yukon; for ho know that his word would bo unqucstionlngly accepted. Ono day In December Daylight filled a pan -from bod-rock on his own claim and carried it Into hts cabin. Herv a fire burned and enabled him to keep water uufrozon In a canvas tank. Ho squatted over tho tank nud began to wash. Earth nnd gravel seemed to fill the pan. As ho Imparted to It a cir cular movement, tho- lighter, coarser particles washed out over tbe edge. At times be combed tbe surface wltb hla fingers, raking out bandfuls or gravel.' The contents or the pan di minished. At Is drew near to the bottom, ror tho purpose or fleeting and tentative examination, ho gave the pan a sudden sloshing movement, emptying It or water, And tho wholo bottom showed as If coverod wltb but ter. Thus the yellow gold flashed up as tbe muddy water was filtered away. It waa gold gold-dust, coarso gold, nuggets, large nuggeU. He was all alone. He set tho pan down for IpNDON - Come Along With Me?" moment and thought long thoughts. Then he finished tho washing, aud weighed the result In his scales. At tho rate of sixteen dollars to tho ounce the pan bad contained eoven hundred and odd dollars. It was beyond any thing that even he had dreamed. His fondest anticipations had gone no farther than twenty or thirty thousand dollars to a claim; but here were claims.wortb half a million each at the least even If tbey were spotted. He did not go back to work In the shaft that day, nor tbe next nor tho next. Instead, capped and mlttened. a light stampeding outfit, Including bis rabbit skin robe, strapped on his back, he was out and away on a many-days' tramp over creeks and divides, In spectlng tbe whole neighboring terri tory. On each creek be was entitled to locate one claim, but be was chary In thus surrendering up his chances. On Hunker Creek only did he stake a claim. Bonanza Croek be found staked from mouth to source, while every little draw and pup and gulch that drained Into It was likewise staked. Little faith -was bad In these side-streams. They bad been staked by tbe hundreds of men who had railed to get In on Bonanza. The rooBt popular or these creeks was Adams. The one least fancied was Eldorado, which flowed Into Bonanza, Just above Carmack's Discovery claim. Even Daylight disliked (ho looks of El dorado; but, still riding bis hunch, he' bought a hult share In one claim on It for half a sack of flour. A month later he paid eight hundred dollars for the adjoining claim. Three months later, enlarging this block of property, he paid forty thousand for a third claim, nnd, though It was concealed In tho future, he wns destined, not long after, to pay one hundred and fifty thousand for n fourth claim on the creek thnt had beon tho loast liked of all tbe creeks. In tho meantime, and from tho day bo washed seven hundred dollars from a single pan, and squatted over It and thought n long thought, he never again touched band to pick and shovel. As ho said to Joe Laduo.tbo night of thut wonderful washing: "Joe, I ain't never going to work hard again Here's where I begin to uso my brains. I'm going to farm gold. Gold will grow gold If you-all havo tho suvveo nnd can get bold of some for seed. When' I Been them sevon hundred dol'nrs In tbo bottom of tho pan, I knew 1 hnd seed at last' The hero of the Yukon' In tbe younger days before the Carmack strike, Burning Daylight now became tbe. bero of the strike. The story of bis hunch and how he rode. It was told up and down tbo land. Certainly be bad ridden It for and away beyond the boldest, ror no Ave of tho luckiest hold tho valuo In claims that bo held. And. furthermore, he was still riding tho bunch, and with no dluJ:utIon of daring. (TO BIS CONTINUED.)

Sir Thomas Bhaughnessy of tho Ca nadian Pacific Railway offered $1,000 In gold as a prize for the best 100 lbs. of wheat, grown on the American con ttnent to bo competed for at the re cent Land Show in New York. In making the competition open, the donor of this handsome prize showed his belief in the superiority of Ca nadian wheat lands, by throwing the contest open to farmers of all Amer ica, both United States and Canada. The United States railways wero by no means anxious to have tho Ca nadlan railways represented at the ' show and a New York paper comment ing on the results of tho competitions says that they wore not to be blamed, bb the Canadians captured the most Important prize of tho show. The winner of thlB big wheat prize was Mr. Seager Wheoler of Rosthera, Saskatchewan, and Its winning has brought a great deal of credit on the district. Tho winning wheat was the Marqula variety, and received no more attention from Mr. Wheeler than hla other grain, but he la a very particu lar farmer.' His farm Is one of the cleanest and best kept in the Hos thorn district, and this year he won first prize In a good farm competition which included every feature or farm ing nnd every part or tho farm. Last winter Wheeler wds n prize winner at tho provincial seed fair in Reglna. Wheeler Is a firm believer lu sow ing clean seed of tho best quality pro curable, consequently his' grain Is much sought after by tho best far mers for seed purposes. Wheeler is an Englishman. Ho Is a pioneer of Rosthern, coming horo fir teen yoars ngo. In the last stx years he has done much oxpcrlmenttng, par ticularly in whent varieties. Ilia rnrra resembles an experimental rnrra. A long driveway, lined on both sides with trees, leads to n modest house, tho homo of Wheeler, a modest, unas suming man with tlio appenranco of a student rather than a man engaged in commorcial pursuits. There are now no free homesteads to be had In this district, and farm lands are worth from $20 to $40 per acre, which a few years ago wore se cured by their present owners, either as a freo girt or purchased at from $5 to $8 per acre. It Is not many miles from Rosthern, where tho farmer lives, who secured tho first prize for wheat last yoar at the National Corn Exposition nt Co lumbus nnd West of Rosthern, ubout 150 miles, lives Messrs. Hill and Bon, who won the Colorado Silver Trophy, valued at $1,500, for the best peck of oats, 'also awarded at the National Corn Show at Columbus In 1910. Not contented with the high honors obtained in Its wheat, Canada again stepped forward into the show ring, and carried off tbe Stlllwcll trophy and $1,000 for the best potatoes on tbe continent. This time tho winner was a British Columbia man, Mr. Asahel Smith, the "Potato King," of that province. The exhibit consisted of one hundred and one varieties druwn from all parts of the province aggregating In weight one and a half tons. At the recent Dry Farming Con gress, held at Colorado Springs, and at which time It wns decided to hold the next Congress at Lethbridge, In 1912, the Province of Alberta made a wonderful showing of grains, grasses and vegetables. . "At the Congress, Alberta got more prizes and .trophies, ten to one, thnn any state of the Union," 6ald Mr. Hotcbklss to the Edmonton Bulletin; "We brought back all but the build ing wltb us, and tbey offered us that, saying we might as well tako all that was going. We would bave brought it along, too, If we had bad a flat car to put It on. Alberta captured nearly 50 first prizes, 20 seconds, 3 thirds, 9 cups, 40 medals, 50 ribbons and 2 sweepstakes. Tbe grand sweepstake prize, for the best exhibit by state or i province, a magnificent silver cup, was presented to us with much cere mony at a reception to tbe Canadian! In the Empress hotel. Tho presenta tion was made by Prof. Olln, chair, man of the Judging committee, and tho cup was received on behalf of the province by the Hon. Duncan Mar shall. Some Undertaking.
