First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, the
Purified and Befined Calomel
Tablets that are Nausea-
less, Safe and Sure.
Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and influ-
enza can be depended upon for full ef-
fectiveness until the liver is made thor-
oughly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nausea-
less colomel tablets called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style calo-
fcaeL Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go a long way
towards preventing influenza and is one
the most important factors in en-
abling the patient to successfully with-
stand an attack and ward off pneu-
monia.
On* Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water—that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight-
est interference with your eating, pleas-
ure or work. Next morning your cold
has vanished, your liver is aetive, youi
system is purified, and you are feeling
fine, with a hearty appetite for break-
fast. Druggists sell Calotabs only in
original sealed packages, price thirty-
five cents. Your money will be cheer-
fully refunded if yod do not find them
delightful.—(Adv.)

6ynopsls.—Dissatisfied because of
the seemingly barren outlook of his
position as a school teacher in a
Canadian town, John Harris deter-
mines to leave it, take up land in
Manitoba and become a "home-
steader." Mary, the girl whom he
loves, declares she will accompany
him. They are married and set out
for the unknown country. They
select a homestead, build a home
and begin their life work of mak-
ing the prairie fertile farm land.
Returning from selling his first
crop, Harris finds his wife despon-
dent almost to insanity from lone-
liness, and with the immediate ex-
pectation of becoming a mother. A
son is born to them, to whom they
give the name of Allan. The story
now .Jumps forward twenty-five
years. Harris Is prosperous and all
for getting rich. Mary Is toil-worn
and saddened over the change in
her husband. Allan works with his
father. Beulah, the pretty daugh-
ter, is rebellious at the shut-in
farm life. Jim Travers is an un-
usual hired man.

CHAPTER. IV—Continued.
"Jim," she said, after a while, when
the noise of the milking was drowned
in the creamy froth, "I'm getting near
the end of this kind of thing. Father's
getting more and more set on money
all the time. He thinks I should slave
along-too to pile up more beside what
he's got already, but I'm not going to
do It much longer. Tm not afraid of
work, or hardship either. I'd live In
S shack if I had to, I'd—"
"Would you live in a shack?" said
Jim. ^
She shot a quick look at him. But
he was quietly smiling into his milk
pail, and she decided to treat his
question impersonally.
"Yes, I'd live in a shack, too, if I
had to. I put In my first years In a
sodhouse, and there was more real
happiness romping up and down the
land then than there is now. In those
days everybody was so poor that
money didn't count. . . . It's differ-
ent now."
Jim did not pursue the subject, and
the milking was completed in silence.
Jim finished first, and presently the
rising hum of the cream separator
was heard from the kitchen.
"There he goes, winding his arm off
—for me," said the girl, as she rose
from the last cow. "Poor Jim—I wish
I kqew whether it's just human kind-
ness makes him do it, or whether—"
She stopped, coloring a little over the
thought that had almost escaped into
words.
When the heavy grind of the sepa-
rating was finished Jim went quietly
to his own room, but the girl put on
a clean dress and walked out through
the garden. At the lower gate she
stooped to pick a flower, which she
held for a moment to her face; then,
toying lightly with It In her fingers,
she slipped the latch and continued
along the path leading down into the
ravine. To the right lay. the bench
where the sodhouse had stood, not so
much as a mound now marking the
spot; but the thoughts of the girl
turned yearningly to It, and to the
days of the lonely but not unhappy
childhood* which it had sheltered.
Presently she reached the water,
and her quick ear caught the sound
of a muskrat slipping gently Into the
stream from the reeds on the opposite
bank; she could see the widening
wake where he plowed his swift way
across the pond. Then her own figure
stood up before her, graceful and lithe
as the willows on the bank. She sur-
veyed It a minute, then flicked the
flower at her face in the water, and
turned slowly homeward. She was
not unhappy, but a dull sense of loss
oppressed her—a sense that the world
was very rich and very beautiful, and
that she was feasting neither on its
richness nor its beauty. There was a
stirring of music and poetry in her
soul, but neither music nor poetry
found expression. And presently she
discovered she was thinking about
Jim Travers.
Her mother sat in the dining room,
knitting by the light of the hanging
lamp. Her face seemed very pale and
lovely in the soft glow.
"Don't you think you have done
enough?" said the girl, slipping into
a sitting posture on the floor by her
mother's knee. "You work, work,
work, all the time. I suppose they'll
have to let you work in heaven."
"We value our work more as we
grow older," said the mother. . . .
"It helps to keep us from thinking."
"There you go!" exclaimed the girl;
but there was a tenderness in her
voice. "Worrying again. I wish
they'd stay home for a change."
The mother plied her needles in
silence. "Slip away to bed, Beulah,"
she said at length. "I will wait up
for a while."
Late in the night the girl heard
heavy footsteps in the kitchen and
bursts of loud but indistinct talking.
CHAPTER V.
Notwithstanding Harris' late hours
the household was early astir the fol-
lowing morning. At five o'clock Jim

was at work in the stables, feeding,
rubbing down and harnessing his
horses, while Allan and his father
walked to the engine, where they built
a fresh fire and made some minor re-
pairs. A little later Beulah came
down to the corral with her milk-pails,
and the cows, comfortably chewing
where they rested on their warm
spots of earth, rose slowly and
with evident great reluctance at her
approach. The Harris farm, like fifty
thousand others, rose from its brief
hush of rest and quiet to the sounds
and energies of another day.
Breakfast, like the meal of the night
before, was eaten hurriedly, and at
first without conversation, but at
length Harris paused long enough ta
remark, "Riles is talkln' o' goln'
West."
"The news might be worse," said
Beulah. Biles, although a successful
farmer, had the reputation of being
grasping and hard to a degree, -even
in a community where such quali-
ties, in moderation, were by no means
considered vices.
Harris paid no attention to his
daughter's interruption. It was evi-
dent, however, that his mention of
Biles had a purpose behind it, and
presently he continued:
"Biles has been wrltln' to the de-
partment of the Interior, and It seems
they're openin' a lot of land for home-
steadin' away West, not far from the
Rocky mountains. Seems they have a
good climate there, and good soil, too."
"I should think Mr. Riles would be
content with what he has," said Mary
Harris. "He has a fine farm here, and
I'm sure both him and his wife have
worked hard enough to take it easier
now."
"Hard work never killed nobody,"
pursued the farmer. "Riles is good for
many a year yet, and free land ain'jt
what it once was. Those homesteads'll
be worth twenty dollars an acre by the
time they're proved up."
Breakfast and Harris' speech came
to an end simultaneously, and the sub-
ject was dropped for the time. In a
few minutes Jim had his team hitched
to the tank wagon in the yard. The
men jumped aboard and the wagon
rattled down the road to where the
engine and plows sat in the stubble-
field.
"What notion's this father's got
about Riles, do you suppose, mother?"
I
"Say, Jim, Honestly, What Makes You
Do It?"'
asked Beulah, as the two women bus-
led themselves with the morning work
in the kitchen.
"Dear knows," said her mother,
wearily. "I hope he doesn't take It In
his head to go out there, too."
"Who, Dad? Oh, he wouldn't do
that His heart's quite wrapped up in
the farm here. I wish he'd unwrap It
a bit and let it peek out at times."
"I'm not so sure. I'm beginning to
think it's the money that's in the
farm your father's heart is set on. If
the money was to be made somewhere
else his heart would soon shift. Here
I've slaved and saved until I'm an—an
old woman, and what better are we
for It? We've better things to eat and
more things to wear and a bigger
house to keep clean, and your father
thinks we ought to be satisfied. But
he isn't satisfied himself. He's slaving
harder than ever, and now he's got
this notion about going West. Oh,
you'll see It will come to that. He
knows our life isn't complete, and he
thinks more money will complete It.
All the experience of twenty years
hasn't taught him any better."
Beulah stood aghast at this outburst,
and when her mother paused and
looked at her, and she saw the unbid-
den wells of water gathering in the
tender eyes, the girl could no longer
restrain herself. With a cry she flung
her arms about her mother's neck, and
for a few moments the two forgot their
habitual restraint and were but naked
souls mingling together.
"Your father Is hungry," said the
mother. "Hungry—hungry, and he
thinks that more land, more money,
more success, will fill him. And in the
meantime he's forgetting the things
that would satisfy—the love that was
ours, the little devo—Oh, child, what
am I saying? What an unfaithful
creature I am? You must forget,
Beulah, you must forget these words—
words of shame they are!"
"The shame Is his," declared the
girl, defiantly, "and I won't stand this
nonsense about homesteadlng again—I
just won't stand it If he says any-
thing more about It I'll—I'll fly off,
that's what I'll do. And I've a few re-
marks for him about Biles that won't
keep much longer. The old badger-
he's at the bottom of all this."
"You mustn't quarrel with your fa-
ther, dearie, you mustn't do that"
"I'm not going to quarrel with him,
but I'm going to say some things that
need saying. And if it comes to a
showdown, and he must go—well, he
must but you and I will stay with the
old farm, won't we, mother?"
"There, there now," the mother said,
gently stroking her daughter's hair.
"Let us forget this, and remember how
much we have to be thankful for. We
have our health, and our home, and
the bright sunshine, and—I declare,"
she Interrupted, catching a glimpse of
something through the window, "if the
cows haven't broken from the lower
pasture and are all through the oat-
fleld! You'll have to take Collie and
get them back, somehow, or bring them
up to the corraL"
Pulling a sun-bonnet upon her head
Beulah called the dog, which came
leaping upon her* with boisterous af-
fection, and hurried down the path to
the field where the cows stood almost
lost In a jungle of green oats. She
soon located the breach in the fence
and, with the help of the dog, quickly
turned the cows toward it But alack 1
just as victory seemed assured a rab-
bit was frightened from its hiding-
place in the green oats and sailed
forth in graceful bounds across tha
pasture. The dog, of course, conclud-
ed that the capture of the rabbit was
of much more vital importance to the
Harris homestead than driving any
number of stupid cattle, and darted
across the field in pursuit, wasting his
breath in sharp, eager yelps as he
went Whereupon the cows turned
oatward again, not boisterously nor
Insolently, but with a calm persistence
that steadily wore out the girl's
strength and patience. She was in no
joyous mood at best, and the perverse-
ness of things aggravated her beyond
endurance. Her callings to the cattle
became more and mc&e tearful, and
presently ended in a sob.
"There, now, Beulah, don't worry;
we will have them in a minute," said
a quiet voice, and looking about she
found Jim almost at her elbow, his om-
nipresent smile playing gently about
his white teeth. "I was down at the
creek filling the tank, when I saw you
had a little rebellion on your hands,
and I thought re-enforcements mlgfit
be In order."
"You might *ve hollered farther
back," she said, half reproachfully, but
there was a light of appreciation in her
eye when she dared raise It toward
him. "I'm afraid I was beginning to
be very—foolish."
She tripped again on the treacherous
buckwheat bnt he held her arm In a
strong grasp against which the weight
of her slim figure seemed but as a
feather blown agalns^ a wall. Then
they set about their task, but the
sober-eyed cows had no thought of be-
ing easily deprived of their feast and
it was some time before they were all
turned back into the pasture and the
fence temporarily repaired behind
them.
"I can't thank you enough," Beulah
was saying. "You just fceep piling one
kindness on top of another. Say, Jim,
honest, what makes you do it?"
But at that moment the keen blast
of an engine whistle came cutting
through the air—a long clear note, fol-
lowed by a series of toots In rapid suc-
cession.
"I guess they're running short of
water," said Jim. "I must hustle." So
saving he ran to the ford of the creek
where the tank-wagon was still stand-
ing, and in a minute his strong frame
was swaying back and forth to the
rhythmic clanking of the pump.
Meanwhile other things were trans-
piring. Harris had returned from
town the night before with the fixed
intention of paying an early visit to
the Farther West He and Biles had
spent more time than they should
breasting the village bar, while the
latter drew a picture of rising color of
the possibilities which the new lands
afforded. Harris was not a man who
abused himself with liquor, and Riles,
too, rarely forgot that Indulgence was
expensive, and had to be paid for in
cash. Moreover, Allan occasioned his
father some uneasiness. He was young,
and had not yet learned the self-con-
trol to be expected In later life. More
than once of late Allan had crossed
the boundary of moderation and John
Harris was by no means Indifferent to
the welfare of his only son. Indeed,
the bond between the two was so real
and so Intense that Harris had never
been able to bring himself to contem-
plate their separation, and the boy had
not even so much as thought of estab-
lishing a home of his own. The Idea
of homesteadlng together assured fur-
ther years of close relationship be-
tween father and son, and the younger
man fell in whole-heartedly with It
But Jim smiled and saidi
"No accident at all. I have
merely decided to go home-
steading."
