The Crippled Lady of Peribonka

Bj— James Oliver Carwood WXV Serrlre 193#. Doubleday Doran * Co., Inc.)

STORY FROM THE START Introducing some of the people of the pretty little FrenchCanadian village of Peribonka, particularly the Crippled I-ady, idol ot the simple inhabitants. Paul Klrke is a descendant Os a sister ot Molly Brant, sister of Joseph Brant, great Indian chief. He has inherited many Indian characteristics. His father is a powerful Ne.w York financier. Paul marries Claire Durand, daughter of his father’s partner, lie is in charge ot engineering work near Peribonka. Paul's wife is in Europe. She dislikes the woods. Paul "becomes interested in Carla, village teacher. Paul writes his wife to join him. Carla’s mother, long an invalid, dies. Claire announces her Intention ot joining Paul on the Mistassini. She writes a letter of .sympathy to '.Carla. l aul becomes aware of a gulf between him and his wife. Paul, Claire, Carla and two friends make up a luncheon party to’ visit the "B ; g Gorge" ot the Mistassini. Paul and Carla carry a large log to the edge ot the rushing water.

CHAPTER VII —l3— “I've a notion to ride this log through the gorge!” excluimed LucyBelle. “I want to Know what Is under and between those walls which you say no one has ever explored. Colin. What do you suppose, can be there?” “An Inferno of devils, I Imagine,” replied her husband. •‘Possibly s not Fairies might live there,” suggested Claire. “A black and sunless place where lovely water maids without eyes frolic In the darkness,” added Paul. "Or a kingdom of Mlcomicon. where dreams are made and sent “but Into the world." said Carla. Derwent was preparing .his end of the log for a final heave; "1 Insist It is a place of devils and death. Still, like Lucy-Belle. I d like to see what’s .there. After all. its fifty million years of—mystery! Are you ready, Paul?” "Ready!” r v The log pitched down, and ns it went the end of it swung like a living tiling and struck Paul. Even before the blow—in the lightning flash of time when eyes behind could see It sweeping upon him—a sudden scream tilled his consciousness, and as the timber caught; him he saw It was Claire whose cry had tried to warn trim. Then he was over. With photographic clearness his eyes beheld his -fate. The water seemed to reach up and catch him on Its oily breast, and for a brief instant after this there was a sensation not utipleaslng about Its hold. ’ For some unaccountable rea son he felt no sense of fear or terror even when forces that were Irresistible but gentle pulled him down. He knew It was death, the death they had played with and lightly talked about, yet its presence closing about him did not rob, his - mind <>t Its vision and judgment, nor frighten him into senseless wrestling with th He would conie up again, alive, near the jagged tooth of rock; after that would be his end. and in such an hour as this seconds became eternities of life. His wife Carla, Lucy-Belle, and Derwent were still nearer to him than the final stroke of death ; he would see them, especially Claire and Carla, when be looked back tn those tew moments ot grace which the monster of the un ilertows would give him. These two, and. the supreme faith which had wrought a comradeship between him and nil the forces of Nature, gave hfm. Instinctively and without effort, the courage not to be afraid. The undercurrent s Indraughts and refluxes carried him with a quiet and deliberate leisureliness, which gave him no physical discomfort except that of holding his breath. Yet they were so (Htwerful. so utterly sure in their grip, that when he made an experimental effort to react) the surface It was as if he were struggling against a wooden wall. To save the air In his lungs he restrained tiintself from further exertion, and when, nt last, ne came up near the rock, and felt fresh air in his face, he had suffered no greater Inconvenience than if he had taken a long dive, ills first thought was of the log. his second of the granite snag. Against this, after a moment.’he felt hintself being slowly lifted, and throwing out tils hands he was thrilled by the fibrous, slimy touch of a rope like substance which had gathered thickly about It just under the surface of the water. River weeds and flag had wrapped them selves tn a tough belt about the rock, and. so firmly had they attached themselves to it that he knew they would, for a time at least, hold up his weight from the sucking undertow which was

With the distance, and the water in bis eyes, he cuuld not make out which was Claire or Carla or Lucy-Belle. But something told him it was hts wife who stood nearest to the edge, with her arms reaching out toward him. And then, nn the cliff, one woman said to; another: “Are you going with him?” - The woman spoken to gazed wideeyed—motionless—voiceless—and after a moment of tense waiting the other said: “Then—l am!” CHAPTER VIII Paul saw the swift, deliberate plunge through space ot the slim body, which. In the uncertainty ot his vision, an instinctive and positive impulse told him was Claire's.

FASHION STRONG FOR BOLERO; PAJAMA ENSEMBLES POPULAR

WHAT a multitude of “ideas” Is covered by that most important exponent of style—the bolero. Be it of any type whatsoever, or It may even pretend to be a bolero, the- fact remains that the bolero, this season, is an unerring expression of chic. There Is really no getting away from the bolero. In some form or other it Is everywhere present in the mode. The filmy lace robe, the evening gown of crisp silk, the simple washable daytime frock, the informal

Then again it enters into the very making of the frock, which Is true In. regard to the Interesting afternoon dress in which Helen Wright, singer and a leading Indy of the films, poses fur the accompanying picture. This bolero rather suggests a deep yoke effect. The sleeves declare a new fashion which calls for fullness below the elbow. Boleros are that versatile one can not hope to describe them all. They range from the simple Spanish type which suggest an abbreviated jacket, to interesting versions which tie at the front in a soft bow. or are fastened with a jeweled buckle or buttons. In the softer materials such feminized touches are possible as sprightly ruffles and plaitings outlining the hemlines. Advance models feature gay silk print frocks made with a Ipdero to

Dead Game Frank Morrison, of the American Federation of Labor, was talking to a Washington reporter about a flagrant case of municipal corruption. “The apologists for this corruption," he ended, “remind me of the crooked dog fanner who sold a chap a worthless cur a bird dog. chap, of course, came back In a few days and said: “ ‘Look here, you told me that dog I bought off you was a good bird dog.’ “‘Well, so he Is, pardner, so he Is.’ said the crooked dealer. ‘You just try him on a plate of fried chicken oncet and see !’ ” WORD FOR THIS LAXATIVE i; H Tn 1875, an earnest young man began to practice medicine. As a family doctor, he saw the harm in harsh purgatives for constipation and began to search'for something harmless to the sensitive bowels. Out of his experience was born a famous prescription. He wrote it thousands of times. It proved an ideal laxative for old and young. As people saw how marvelously the most slug«gish bowels are started and bad breath, hgadachcs, feverishness,- nausea, gas, poor appetite, and such disorders, are relieved by the prescription, it became necessary to put it up ready for use. Today, Dr. Caldwell’s Syruy Pepsin, as it Is called, is the world’s most popular laxative. It never varies from Dr. Caldwell’s origihal effective and harmless formula. All .drugstores have it.
