miring glances.
American tourists, beware; death
stalks invisible beside her, mystery,
suspicion, loss of jewels, travelers'
checks, bank notes and letters of
credit
She can strike at a distance. After
she has left a fashionable resort, rich
tourists who admired her may wake
of a morning, safe in their rooms, and
find they are robbed, stripped, desti-
tute
Let them be happy that they wake.
The gouine Is out and loose again
upon the world. The Jlrmouichs are
Jailed and scattered; but the shadowy
fllocheuse de colls, the "glider In the
hallway," has her choir of wicked vir-
gin nymphs to stay behind and do her
will, while she moves on, with the
new perfume in their hands.
By day, they may be English old
maids, French blue stockings, plain
dressed yet with an air of ease, cold,
aloof, yet capable of impulsive kind-
nesses when touched by friendship
for the rich and inexperienced. They
may be pathetic young widows. Rus-
sian or Italian, seeking forgetfulness
round Casino gambling tables, at con-
certs, teas, subscription balls and ho-
tel dances, where the most modest
tourists flash their diamonds. If an
observer, you might be struck by
their eyes, the eyes of nyctalops, of
great or little animals that see by
night, the eyes of mice. mice, mice!
The great old mother goulne loved
to frequent the Villa des Fleurs at
Nice or the public rooms at Monte
Carlo, where fortunes are won In an
evening, too late to be banked She
moved from table to table, noting the
great winners, smiling as the roulette
ball whirled.
Then the Countess Manola nods an
aristocratic good night, pulls her
sables about her. steps into the auto-
limouslne and speeds home to the rich
hotel. So the haughty English old
maids, severe French blue-stockings,
feverish Italian widows, with their
eyes of nyctalops.
They lock their bedroom doors and
wait The noises cease, the lights go
out They doff their frou-frou dinner
gowns, however 60ber, crackling pail-
lettes, tinkling Jet rustling batiste

say for deep mourning; black stock-
ings. black slippers, black gloves
black skirt and coat of softest wool,
and round their heads, covering their
faces, covering their mouths and
noses, a veil of black mousseline de-
scending below the neck and carefully
tied round the shoulders
Is It the Countess Manola? Is It
the Honorable Helena? Certainly no;
it Is the gouine who turns out the
electric light of her bedroom. A feeble
light struggles through the transom
to the celling like a phosphorescence
Gliding past the long mirror of the
wardrobe, she glances at It and does
not see herself
Satisfied, she turns up the light

THE FEEVISH 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
I 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
now prescribing Dr. Caldwell'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 reE'alt next morning, with no at-
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
Dr. Caldwell'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.
NO WONDER.

Something the Matter, Anyhow.
Little Harold lives in Broad Kipple.
His mother got him ready for bed
one cold night, and to be sure he
would be warm enough during the
night she took extra precautions, re-
lates the Indianapolis News. After
she had put on his little fuzzy paja-
mas she tucked him carefully in be-
tween the wool blankets. Then, to
make doubly sure, she got a hot water
bottle for him—and the youngster
was apparently as snug as could be,
with only his little nose sticking out
from beneath the ccrers.
When his mother had finished the
tucklng-in job she turned down the
light. Soon the entire family was in
bed. But Harold is like most young-
sters. He loves his mother, and
wishes lots of attention. So in his child
mind he figured out a way to get her
to his bed.
"Mamma," he wailed, "I'm cold!"
"Nonsense, son!" replied his moth-
er, and she never made a move to go
to his rescue.
The little boy tried the opposite.
"Well, I'm too hot, then!" he yelled.

A. W. Lay of Lafayette, Ala.,writes:—
14 I had rheumatism for five years. I tried

good that I would not do without it
for anything."

ment and find it first-class for rheu-
matic pains."
