THE PEEVISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT
When a child sulks drowsily , or Is
fretful , it is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs , and a
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
In cases where the use of a gentle ,
-effective laxative stimulant is indi
cated , many of the best physicians are
new prescribing Dr. Caidwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative , being mild , yet
positive in its action on the bowels ,
and far preferable to violent cathart
ics and purgative waters. It is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach , liver and bowels. Its easy ,
natural action makes it especially de
sirable in the case of children , a dose
at bed-time being sure to have the de
sired result next morning , with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
Dr. Caidwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in 50c and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy , write to Dr. W.
B. Caldwell , 201 Washington St. , Mon-
ticello , 111. , for a sample. He will be
very glad to send a trial bottle with
out any expense to you whatever.

SYNOPSIS.
Jack Keith , a Virginian. no\v a bor
der plainsman , Is looking' for roaming war
parties of savages. He sees a wagon team
at full gallop pursued by men on ponies.
When Keith reaches the wagon the raid
ers have massacred two men and de
parted. He searches the victims-finding
papers and a locket with a woman's per
trait. Keith is arrested at Carson City ,
charged with the murder , his accuser be
ing a ruffian named Black Bart. A negro
companion in his cell named Neb tolls him
that he knew the Keiths in Virginia. Neb
says onr * of the murdered men was John
Sibloy , the other Gen. Willis Waite. form
erly a Confederate officer. The plainsman
and Neb escape , and later the fugitives
come upon a cabin and find its occupant
to be a young girl , whom Keith thinks
he saw at Carson City. The girl explains
that she is in search of a brother , who
had deserted from the army , and that a
Mr. IJawley induced her to come to the
cabin while he sought her brother. Hawley -
ley appears , and Keith in hiding recog
nizes him as Black Bart. There is a ter
rific battle in the darkened room in which
Keith is victor. Horses are appropriated ,
and the girl who says th.it her name is
Hope , joins in the escape. Keith explains
his situation and the fugitives make for
Fort Lamed , where the gi'J is left with
the hotel landlady. Miss Hope tells that
she is the daughter of General Waite.
Keith and Neb drift into Sheridan , where
Keith meets an old friend. Dr. Fairbain.
Keith meets the brother of Hope Waite.
under the assumed name of Fred Wil-
loughby. and becomes convinced that
Black Bart has some plot involving the
two. Hope learns that Gen. Waite , who
was thought murdered , is at Sheridan ,
and goes there , where she is mistaken for
Christie Maclaire , the Carson City singer.
Keith meets the real Christie Maclairo
and finds that Black Bart has convinced
her that there is a mystery in her life
which he is going to turn to her advan
tage.
CHAPTER XXII. ( Contoinued. )
"Miss Maclaire , " he said , pleasantly ,
"I trust you will pardon all that has
occurred between us , and permit mete
to explain. "
"I I do not understand , " she re
plied , puzzled by these unexpected
words. "There has nothing occurred
between us , I am sure , which requires
explanation. Have we met befor/3 / ? "
The man smiled. Seeing the wom
an's face in the shadows he was still
convinced she was the same he had
last parted with on the Salt Fork.
However , if she preferred to ignore all
that , and begin their relations anew , it
was greatly to his liking. It gave him
insight into her character , and fresh
confidence that he could gain her as
sistance. Anyhow , he was ready
enough to play her game.
"Let us assume riot. " just the slight
est trace of mockery in the tone , "and
begin anew. At least , you will confess
the receipt of my letters I am Bartlett
lett IJawley. "
She cast a half-frightened glance to
ward Keith , and the man , following
the direction of her eyes , perceived
the presence of the other. His right
leg went backward , his hand dropping
to the belt , his form stiffening erect.
Keith's voice , low but clear in the
silence , seemed to cut the air.
"Not a motion , Hawley ! I have you
covered. "
"Oh , gentlemen , please don't ! "
"Have no fear , Miss Maclaire ; this
man and I will settle our difference
elsewhere , and not in your presence. "
He stepped forth into the middle of
the room , revolver drawn , but held
low at the hip , his watchful eyes
never deserting the gambler's face.
"Back up against the wall , Hawley , "
he commanded. "I hardly need to tell
you how I shoot , for we , at least , have
met before. Now , I'm going out , and
leave you to your interview with Miss
Maclaire , and I wish you happiness
and success. "
He moved across to the opening ,
keeping his face toward his adver
sary ; then backed out slowly , closed
the door with a snap , and sprang
aside to avoid any possibility of a bul
let crashing after him. No sound of
movement from within reached his
ears , however , and he walked silently
to the head of the stairs.
CHAPTER XXIII.
An Unexpected Meeting.
Keith paused at the landing , lookIng -
Ing down into the deserted office , al
most tempted to return and force
Hawley into a confession of his pur
pose. It was easy for him to con
ceive what would be the final result
of this interview between the artistic
gambler and Miss Maclaire. In spite
of the vague suspicion of evil which
the plainsman had implanted within
the woman's mind , the other possessed
the advantage , and would certainly
Improve it. All conditions were de
cidedly in his favor. He merely
needed to convince the girl that she
was actually the party sought , and
she would go forward , playing the
game he desired , believing herself
right , totally unconscious of any
fraud. The very simplicity of it ren
dered the piot the more dangerous ,
the more difficult to expose. Hawley
had surely been favored by fortune In
discovering this singer who chanced
to resemble Hope so remarkably , and
who , at the same time , was in such
Ignorance as to her own parentage.
She would be ready to grasp at a
straw , and , once persuaded as to her
identity and legal rights , could hence
forth be trusted implicitly as an ally.
Realizing all this , and comprehend
ing also how easily Hawley would win
her confidence and overcome his
warning by denouncing him as a fugi
tive from justice charged with murder ,
the temptation to return and fight it

"Was Your Call Upon Miss Maclaire Very Interesting ? '
out then and there became almost
overpowering. He had no fear of
Hawley ; indeed , physical fear had
scarcely a place in his composition ,
but he was not as yet sufficiently for
tified with facts for the seeking of
such an encounter.
A man came in through the office ,
and began climbing the stairs. He
was almost at the landing before
Keith recognized him or the other
glanced up.
"Ah seen her , I suppose ? "
"Yes , " returned Keith , not thinking
it worth while to mention the lady's
denial of having sent for him. "I have
just come from there. "
"Hum thought you'd be through by
this time fine looking girl , ain't she ?
believe I'll run in. and chat with her
myself. "
"I would advise you to select some
other time , Doctor , " said the younger ,
drily , "as the lady has a visitor at
present"
"A visitor ? " his face rosy , his
shrewd eyes darkening. "Ah , indeed !
Of the male sex ? "
, "I judge so 'Black Barf Hawley. "
"Good Lord ! " so startled his voice
broke. "Did he see you ? "
"Hather ; I backed him up against
the wall with a gun while I made iny
adieu. "
"But what brought him there ? Are
they acquainted ? "
"Don't ask conundrums , Doctor. He
may be your rival with the fair lady
for all I know. If he is , my sympa
thies are all with you. Only I wouldn't
try to see Miss Christie just now ; I'd
wait for a clearer field. Hawley is
probably not in the best of humor. "
Fairbain stared into the face of the
speaker , uncertain whether or not he
was being laughed at
"Reckon you're right , " he acknowl
edged at last. "Tired , anyhow been
out all night thought I'd like to see
her again , though finest looking
woman I've met since I came West
remarkable eyes well , I'll go along to
bed see you again to-morrow , Jack. "
Keith watched the sturdy figure
stamp heavily down the hall-way ,
loose boards creaking under his posi
tive tread , and smiled to himself at
the thought that he might have , in
deed , become truly interested in the
music hall singer. Somehow , the doc
tor did not harmonize with the con
ception of love , or fit graciously into
the picture. Still , stranger matings
had occurred , and Cupid does not ask
permission before he plays pranks
with hearts. Keith turned again to
ward the stairs , only to observe a
woman slowly cross the office and
commence the ascent. She was in the
shadow , her face even more deeply
shaded by her hat , yet he stared at
her in amazement surely , it was
Miss Maclaire ! Yet how could it be ?
He had left that , person scarcely five
minutes before in " 26 , " and this stair
way as the only exit His hand
grasped the rail , his heart throbbing
strangely , as a suspicion of the truth
crossed his brain. Could this bs
Hope ? Could it be that she was here
also ? As her foot touclied the land
ing , she saw him , her eyes lighting up
suddenly in recognition , a wave of
color flooding her cheeks.
"Why , Captain Keith , " she exclaim
ed , extending her gloved hand frankly ,
"you have been to my room , and were
going away. I am so glad I came in
time. "
"I hardly thought to meet you , " he
replied , retaining her fingers in his
grasp. "When did you reach Sheri
dan ? "
"Only last night. I had no idea you
were here until Doctor Fairbain
chanced to mention your name. Then
I at once begged him to tell you how
exceedingly anxious I was to see you.
You see , I was sure you would come
if you only knew. I really thought
you would be here this morning , and
remained in my room waiting , but
there were some things I actually had
to have. I wasn't out ten minutes , so
you mustn't think I sent you a mes
sage and then forgot. "
The nature of the mistake was be
coming apparent , and Keith's gray
eyes smiled as they looked into the
depths of the brown.
"Your message had rather an amus
ing result , " he said , "as the doctor in
formed me that Miss Christie Maclaire
was the one who desired my pres
ence. "
"Miss Maclaire ! " her voice exhibitIng -
Ing startled surprise. "Why why
oh , I did forget ; I never told him dif
ferently. Why , A was most ridicu
lous. " She laughed , white teeth
gleaming between the parted red lips ,
yet not altogether happily. "Let me
explain , Captain Keith , for really I
have not been masquerading. Doctor
Fairbain and I arrived upon the same
tram last evening. He is such a fun
ny man , but was very nice , and offer-
His Efforts Unappreciated
Charles H. Sherrill , minister to the
Argentine Republic , who has been in
the United States telling business or
ganizations about the opportunities
to get wealthy from trade with South
America , received a call from a middle-
aged woman who approached him in
a. western city with the statement : "I
am going to assist you in your work. "
"Yes ? " said Mr. Sherrill. "I am go
ing to take some of these lecture
dates off your hands and give them
myself. By the way , how much do
you get a night for them ? " Mr. Sher
rill related with a directness which
carried conviction that he did not get
a red cent and paid his expenses be
sides. "Well , " said the caller , in
great anger , as she flounced to the
door , "I thought you were a business
ed to escort me to the hotel. I remem
ber now that although he introduced
himself , I never once thought to men
tion to him my name. The town was
very rough last night the company
had paid off the graders I was told
and there was no carriage , so we were
compelled to walk. I I never saw
such a mob of drunken men. One
came reeling against me , and brushed
aside my veil so as to see my face.
The doctor struck him , and then the
marshal came up you know him , Bill ,
Hickock and the impudent fellow
actually declared he knew me , that
I was Christie Maclaire. I tried to
explain , but they hurried me on
through the crowd to the hotel , and I
became confused , and forgot. Do you
suppose mthey registered me by that
name ? "
"Quite likely ; at least Fairbain still
believes it was the Christie whom he
so gallantly escorted last night. "
"How provoking , " her foot tapping
the floor , a little wrinkle between her
eyes. "It seems as though I couldn't ,
escape that woman does she does
she really look like me ? "
"At a little distance , yes , " he ad
mitted , "her form and face resemble
yours very closely , but her hair is
darker , her eyes have a different ex
pression , and she must be five or six
years older. "
"Do do you know ner well ? " <
"No , indeed ; I have seen her several -
(
al times on the stage , but never met ,
her until a few moments ago. " j
"A few moments ago ! Do you mean
she is here in this hotel ? "
"Yes , Miss Hope , and that was what
made the mistake in names so laugh
able. Fairbain gave me your message - !
sage , but as coming from Christie. 1
was , of course , greatly surprised , yet I
responded. The lady very promptly !
denied having sent for me , but as I
was anxious to interview her myself , ,
we managed to drift into conversation , j
and I must have passed a half hour
there. I might have been there still ,
but for an Interruption. "
"Oh , indeed ! " with rising inflection.
He glanced quickly about , reminded
of the situation.
"Yes , Hawley came in , and I would
prefer not to meet him here , or have
him discover you were in Sheridan.
Could we not go to your room ? I
have much to tell you. "
Her questioning eyes left his face ,
and stared down over the rail. A heav
ily built man , with red moustache ,
leaned against the clerk's desk ,
"Do you know that man ? " she asked
quickly. "He followed me all the
time I was shopping. I I believe he
is the same one who jostled me in the
crowd last night. "
Keith leaned past her to get a bet
ter view , but the fellow turned , and
slouched away.
"I only had a glimpse , but have no
recollection of ever seeing him before.
You heard no name ? "
" 'Wild Bill' called him either Scott ,
or Scotty if this is the same man. "
Keith's jaw set , the fighting light
burning in his eyes. That was the
name of the fellow rooming with Wil-
loughby , the one who seemed to be
Hawley's special assistant.
"A mere accident probably ; but
about my request ? May I talk with
you a few moments alone ? "
She bowed , apparently still dissatis
fied regarding his lengthy conversa
tion with Christie , yet permitted him
to follow down the hall. She held
open the door of " 15 , " and he entered
silently , not wholly understanding the
change in her manner. She stood be
fore the dresser , drawing off her
gloves and removing her hat.
"Will you be seated , Captain ; the
arm-chair by the window is the more
comfortable. " She turned toward him ,
almost shyly , yet with womanly curi
osity which would not be stilled. "Was i
