women went to .Loufrwy 'but found
that their grandmother was not at

shells utter the word "you" as if It
were spelled "yew,'' precisely like o
Yankee comedian.' This would be
when the shell was remarking in as
I thought the most pointed manner,
"I am coming to get yew yew yew.'
Pens What They Say.
In the ireetop I tried to set down On
a piere or paper woras tnat wouia
stand for the sounds the shells were
making. At the moment 1 thought
was cutting quite a literary dash, but
upon later examination the results did
not seem very brilliant. But they were
the only results I had and as I had
come across the ocean to get them tbey
at least represented the expenditure of
u good deal of time.
So here they are:
The shell said. "1 am coming to get
you. and I am coming to get you now."
That part was In a kind of remote
singing hardly more than a murmur.

"Are you sure the dose is strong
enough?" asked one of the uhlans.
"Why," answered Ulrlch, "It is strong
enough to kill all the garrison and its
reserves:"
Rose shuddered and almost fainted.
"We must act," said Marie, "to pre
Tent this most awful crime, even if
we must commit one ourselves."
Half an hour later tbey rang the
front doorbell. They appeared most
Joyous, uml they explained their ela
tion by saying tbey had beard the war
nad been livened. Tbey said they
were so glad that tbey wanted to set
out some wine in honor of peace and
the friendly uhlan soldiers.
Marie went out and brought back a
champagne bottle. She poured the
liquid, and the men drank it. Next
morning the young women ran out of
the house. They were 'widows, for
they 'themselves had employed the pol
son. They went straight to the chiel
of the gendarmes and told of their
plight. They were set free at once.
"We have killed our husbands:" they
cried. "Do what Is right with us:"
But the. official simply wept with
them and kissed them, for it was
found that the plot had been craftily
laid and that the sacrifiie of the wives
had saved hundreds of French troops
from death.

Ills reply was more encouraging than
I had hoped for.
"Now that you speak of It," he said
nlowly, "I have no stomach for high

join you in the tree."
Then a ray of light illuminated by
reflections on the subject of soldier

"I was shot and was found by some
German privates after about on hour

"With other wounded men and offi

prisoners in the hands of the Germans
for eleven days, until the French occu

"It is only fair to say that both on

Happy youngsters must be
healthy. The digestive organs
of children get out of order as
readily as do those of their
eiders, and the result is equal
ly distressing. When the bow
els are clogged with an ac
cumulation of refuse from the
stomach the child naturally
becomes cross and fretful from
the discomfort, and is often
punished for temper when
medical attention is really
w hat is needed.
The next time your child Is
cross and unhappy, without
apparent reason, try giving it
a mild laxative. Dr. Cald
well's Syrup Tepsin Is a mild,
pleasant tasting (combination
of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, and is especially rec
ommended for children be
cause of its freedom from all
opiate or narcotic drugs and
its gentle action. It is sold in
drug stores everywhere. A
free trial bottle can be ob
tained by writing to Dr. W. B.
