Dorothy '? Mother Proves Claim Children don't or dinarily take to med icines but here's one that all of them love. Perhaps It shouldn't be called a medicine at all. It's more like a rich, concentrated food. It's pure, wholesome, sweet to the taste and sweet in your child's little stomach. It builds up and strength ens weak, puny, underweight chil dren, makes them eat heartily, brings the roses back to their cheeks, makes them playful, energetic, full of life. And no bilious, headachy, constipated, feverish, fretful baby or child ever failed to respond to the gentle influence of California Fig Syrup on their little bowels. It starts lazy bowels quick, cleans them out thoroughly, tones and strengthens them so they continue to act nor mally, of their own accord. Millions of mothers know about California Fig Syrup from experi ence. A Western mother, Mrs. J. G. Moore, 119 ClifC Ave., San Antonio, Texas, says: "California Fig Syrup Is certainly all that's claimed for It. I have proved that with my little Dorothy, She was u bottle baby and very delicate. Iler bowels were weak. I started her on Fig Syrup when she was a few months old and It regulated her, quick. I have used It with her ever since for colds and every little set-back and her wonder ful condition tells better than words bow it helps." Don't be imposed on. See that the Fig Syrup you buy bears the name, "California" so you'll get the genu ine, famous for 50 years. Whole Show "Yes," sulci the sweet young thing, "I am going to study law and become ? lawyer." "Why not Just get married and he come the lawyer. Judge and Jury?" ? Cincinnati Enquirer.

"On our way outside, we can be married at Edmonton, and have that trip we planned to the Rlackfoot Sel kirk*. And we'll have ? we can afford to have now! ? a cabin back In Van couver island ; back in the mountains by ourselves, Alan.** He merely said, gesturing at the al cove: 'Tm leaving f'urt's keepsakes here. You'll watch after tliein. won't you?" And he added. "I'm leaving here tonight. Elizabeth." "Leaving here? Tonight ?** Her eyes went to the pack on the floor. Suddenly startled. she looked up at him acain. Feeling that he owed some explana tion to the irirl he was engaged to. he partly explained: "I*rn pitching off on a trip. Elizabeth. liy myself. I'm going nfter tho.se men that shot up two of my friends, ilaskeli blocked a patrol I wanted to make. To go after them I had to be free. I don't know how long It'll take me. Maybe three weeks, maybe six. I'd like for you to wait here." Something In his manner stopped Elizabeth from questioning him. She knew he Intended to marry her and take her to Victoria: but something told her that in this present hour it was not well to question or oppose Alan linker. She acquiesced : "I'll wait, dear. I'll wait here for you. But. Alan, be fore you go " She stood on tip toe, reproaching him. begging, "Aren't you going to tell me good*by?" Alan bent and kissed her, as she In vited. Hut he did It dispassionately, as a thing expected of him. He felt her breath on his cheek, her arm - ? ? ' * i ? j- ? ? ^ " "I'm Out of the Mounted ? Out for Good!" tightening: around him. her body pressed against his. He was subtly but unmistakably aware of a certain willingness about her; she wanted him to linger; she would have stayed with him there iu the cabin. ... It sur prised, It shocked him, after all these months when she had been so cold and passionless. When she had gone, he buckled his pack and caught up his hat As he started to snuff the two candles in the alcove, he heard a thumping foot step on the threshold and turned to see Bill Hardsock. In a flash he guessed that Hill had been waiting out side, not wanting to come In while Elizabeth was there. "Alan ! H ? Ps blue blazes r Bill was all but Incoherent as he advanced across the cabin. "Say It Isn't so! I heard . . . wasn't meaning to lis ten . . . Joyce told me part oft, and I Just heard you tell 'Uzabeth. . . . He didn't bust you? He didn't dare I And blame you for splitting our pa trol? You didn't buy out ? " "That's what I did. Bill. He busted me, blamed me. What's worse, he wouldn't let us make the Inconnu trip. I couldn't stand that. I'm out. Leaving Endurance. Right now.** Bill's face turned gray. His Jaw dropped, he stood in stupefied shock, with a look of misery on his blunt, bulldog features. "You're ? leaving ? us," he gulped. "You're ? pitching away ? for good. You always stood up for us men, against Haskell. You and me . . . pretty good partners. . . . Now you won't be here sny more. Alan. . . .*? "Bill, shake yourself together and listen. I'm going after those bandits. There's several things you've got to do for me. One Is, I want you to cut aside from patrols whenever you can and visit Joyce and see she's safe. Another thing. I'm giving you this cabin and what's In It, except for a little personal stuff that I'll get some time or else send for. Then, there's one last thing. Got any free time com ing In the next couple weeks?" "I don't know. Yes, must have three or four days ? way we've been hieing the ball all winter.** "Two days will be enough. I ne?*il a little help on my plan; and you. here at Endurance, you can glVe me a hand. It's not much, b"t Itll mean a lot to j me. I'll tell yon what I've got Id mind, so you'll understand.'* In a few terse sentences that 'eft Hill gasping and swearing at so stag gering a scheme, Alan sketched his plan. "And you'll keep quiet about this. Bill? Don't tell Ped, Elizabeth, Drum mond. anybody. If It ever gets out, ii'd wreck the whole idea, and I'd prob ably land in a penitentiary." Til keep quiet as a dead dog. I won't breathe a word. But Alan, why in h ? 1, way we've hung together, why j can't I be in on your trick?" Eagerly he pleaded. "Let me go along, Alan." "It'd mean desertion fcr you. Has kell would give you the limit. And you've got to watch after Joyce. My work is a one-man job anyway. We'll keep !n touch, Bill. You write to me. Lord knows but ? what you and I. sometime on ahead, might get together again." They shook hands. Alan hurried down the slope to the trading store. Factor Ommniond had not gone to bed. The news of the patrol, of his old friend Dave Mac Mlllan being arrestt-d and fared with such overwhelming evidence of guilt, had upset him "What the devil, Alan? ? civilian clothes !" Alan was weary of people's aston ishment. He wasted no time with ex planations. "Drummond. Where's old Pad Pence? I saw him here when we got back this evening." Drummond pointed behind the coun ter. Alan walked around, up the nar . row aisle, and there found old Pence ! asleep on a pile of wolf skins. ! He had passed his three s^ore and ten, old Dad Pence, at prospecting, trapping, water dogging, whatnot. lie I had made fortunes and guilelessly had lost them to men sharper than he. He had rome down to the twilight of life penniless, homeless, childless. But old Dad Pence could still handle a rifle with the best of the youngsters; and a reputation for magic which he had ac quired among the witch-killing Indians, still clung to him and put fear Into primitive hearts. Altogether he was the man for Alan's purpose, if only Joyce would not mother him too much and make his existence thereafter too desolate by contrast. Shaking him wide enough awake to understand what was wanted of him, Alan explained. He was to go back to the Big Alooska with Joyce and watch after her. He was to keep in touch with Bill Hardsock. Under no circumstances was he to wander off Into the bush and leave Joyce alone. Old Pence nodded. "I'll do It, b'y, Jlst as you say. I'll try not to fergit and wanner off In th' bush. I'll look after Joyce, you don't worry." Alan thrust a handful of hills Into his pocket, and rose up and stepped buck around the counter. "I want to buy your motor canoe, Drummond. How much?" ?'To buy It? You making a trip? Go ahead, take It and use It, Alan." "But I'm not bringing It back. Tm leaving this country In It. How much?" Drumraond was all tangled In Alan's swift words. "That canoe Isn't worth a lot. . . . You're leaving this coun try. . . . The motor cost me a hun dred but It's three years old. . . . You're not bringing It back? ... 1 guess fifty dollars. Alan. But what in the name of sin ? ?" Alan gave him the fifty and strode out the door. Down the terrace at the steamer landing, Joyce was waiting for him, as he had asked her. Laying his pack in Drummond's canoe and untying the painter. Alan stood holding it. hat In hand, for a few last words with Joyce. He said slowly, lengthening these last moments with her: M Joyce, I'm going away. I'm going after those six men. Bill will tell you something about it I arranged with him to visit you whenever he can, and old Dad Pence la going back to the Alooska to be company for you." Though she asked no questions about his trip, her dark eyes were big with wonder. Alan was tempted to tell her all. lie could depend on her not to breathe one word of It A score of times he had confided police secrets to her and she had given him Inval uable information glenned from In dians and "breeds. But his plan was a desperate gam ble, and Joyce would surely recognize It as such. She might lose faith In so dubious a venture. And he thought : "1*11 be entirely out of the country, out of it for weeks and weeks. She mustn't know that; she'd feel too ter ribly alone; she might even come to believe I've deserted her, as I did last winter. But If she thinks I'm still here on the Waterways, perhaps work ing secretly. It'll help her keep up hope." (TO BE CONTINUED.)
