The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Syrup op Fids, manufactured by the Calipohnia Fiq Sybup Co., illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to tho taste and acceptable to the system. It is the ono perfect strengthening laxa tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub stance, and its acting on tho kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating1 them, make It the ideal laxative. In tho process of manufacturing figs aro used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but tho medicinal qualities of tho remedy aro obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to tho California Fig Synur Co. only.

Ills weapon wns n blackened potnto sack, which ho dipped nt Intervals Into a pall of water nnd used to beat out the encroaching- Humes. When Turner came, on his way from the lino of survey out to tho settle ments, McGlnnls was working help lessly lu n circle of tiro thnt narrowed constantly about the tents. The two men fought the flames suc cessfully; but It was nearly noon be fore smoke censed to rise from the charred tract Immediately nbout the camp. Then two tall dead trees were found to be burning. These not only threatened to start the tiro In the brush afresh, but they lenned directly over the tents nud were likely to fnll upon them when weakened sufficiently by the llnmes. McGlnnls, therefore, went out through the smoke thnt for n mouth had hung like a fog In the forest, to find a new camping place. Turner re mained to guard the camp. Turner -was secretly glad to delay starting upon a Journey over the trail, for It was to be by no means a pleas ant or easy one. As both camp horses were lame he would have to walk all the way, and besides. If he should fnll to meet old Morton nnd the delayed pack train ho would be out alone four days and nights. This was Turner's first season away from the city, nnd he disliked the "TUBEE TALL IXDIAXS." prospect of sleeping at night alone on the mountain side with only a blanket over him. He was especially unensy about the Indians, who had started the forest fires and kept them burning nbout us. In order, McGlnnls said, to frighten tho deer and the bear out of the valley so that we could kill no game. This made a supply of smoked meats a necessity, nnd It was because we were now well Into our last ham that Turner had been ordered to find out why the provision packs we had expected for several days had not arrived. But he was In no hurry to start Ho went over to tho cook tent and began to nail up boxes and to tie sacks. Looking out from time to time, Tur ner saw that the flames were inaklug but little headway Into the huge dead trunks, so he worked as slowly as pos Bible, hoping that by some good chance old Morton would come before he and McGlnnls were through moving camp. In a little while he heard a sound outside and glanced around. Three tall Indians were entering tne camp. They were young braves, dressed In greasy buckskin, and wore feathers In their hair. In spite of the midsummer heat long, dirty-looking blankets were wrapped about them. The forehead of each was painted a deep red, and parnllel bars of red and yellow ran down ward across their cheeks. The tallest Indian pointed a rifle at Turner, and nil three watched him threateningly while for a few moments they talked together. "No make noise no make noise!" were the only words they spoke In English. Presently ono went outside and re turned with an ax tho very ax that Turner had himself brought back from the survey that morning. Putting down his rifle, the Indian ad vanced with the ax upraised. When ho came within a few feet of Turner ono of his companions spoke to him and ho looked back. Turner, grown sud denly desperate, leaped forward and seized the weapon. But the Indian was a strong man. While ho struggled Turner felt tho cold steel of a rifle against each tem ple. At tho same moment his antagonist, wrenched the ax away from him and raised It again ready to strike. But tho tall Indian, who seemed to bo In authority, caught hold ot It, nnd tho three talked earnestly. Then the one with the ox laid It re 4 w U'V luctantly on tho long boards that formed tho dining table, and ono after another tho Indians sat down can placing his rlilo before him within ens) rt"uo(TeeI brendt meat:" said the leader. Ills order was Imperative. Turner lost no time In getting down the coffee pot. The struggle for the nx had left Mm nervous, but alert; and he watched oncrlv for an excuse to go outside or the tent. Everything, however, was ready to hand. f..ni,mis wnn n nrovldcnt cook. vnn.i nn.l witter were beside the stove i.i... in.... ..-na niriMuiv I ii and n box ..( .,.i..i.h lintl been left on the hearth Ills every movement wns watched so closely that Tumor soon gave up hope of getting away ami uovoieu m self to serving what the Indians do mnmlpil ns nulckly ns possible. In a very few minutes their coffee wns ready nnd they were nciping theinselves to bread nud butter and beans. Then they repeated their demand for meat, and Turner was at a loss v nni to do. He knew there was part of a boiled ham left, for the fact had been gravely commented upon that morning nt breakfast; but he could not find It. though he searched lu every place that he could think of. Tho Indians grew all the while more threatening nnd Turner more nervous and . apprehensive. He had almost given up the search In despair, when, chancIUK to look up In the tent, he saw against the ridge-pole a bundle wrapped In a clean cloth, with the lash of a blacksnake whip tied around it, The whin had been drawn through be tween the cnuvns and the pole until the bundle touched both, nnd the linn die wns hooked to n nail In one of the unrlchts. Turner took down the bun rile and untied the lash. Inside was the precious ham. The pride of the cook was so great in McGlnnls, who always felt deeply humiliated when provisions were scarce though no scarcity had ever oc curred through fault of his that he had taken this unnecessary precaution to keep our diminished meat supply safe. Turner got out a long knife and be gan to slice the hnm. Suddenly the Indians took up their rlfics, nnd one of them went stealthily to the tent opening. Turner had heard no sound; but he feared that McGlnnls might be coming, nud that before he could warn him the Indians would have him at their mercy, nlso. While he wns vainly considering what to do , the canvas opposite the opening was l raised and the old cook crawled under. He did not see the Indians till he hud I rnlsed up and started across the tent I Then he discovered the three rllles pointed nt him nnd enme to a sudden stop. His blackened face was drawn Into an expression of startled surprise ns he stared at each of the Indians, I nnd finally nt Turner, who stood be I side the table with the carving knife still raised In his right hand. "Whnt's this?" asked McGlnnls, when he saw the steaming coffeo cups and the bread beside them. He looked calmly at the Indians and then Inquir ingly at Turner. "Put down that knife!" he said, sud denly. "Shoot!" exclaimed the tallest In dian, and he came a step forward. McGlnnls paid uo attention to him. "Have they e't ouy 'a that ham?" he asked, fiercely; at the same time he pushed Turner away from the table. "No," answered the latter, feebly. "It's a good thing for yous you ain't!" he said to the Indians. "Uh! We want meat," said the leader. The old cook's face flushed with an ger; but he said nothing. Limping quickly forward n step he bent down, and, picking up the black snake whip, he struck the nearest In dian a heavy blow over the head. Tho rifles were still pointed at him, and Turner expected every moment to Bee him shot down; but tho Indlnus seemed taken entirely by surprise. Tho old man followed up his blows, and struck the other two Indians when he caino within reach of them. In a moment all four wero outside tho tent, and, as far as Turner could see from where ho stood, the unwel come visitors, Instead of using their rifles, concerned themselves only with keeping out of the way of tho whip. Turner listened to the sounds outside for awhile, nnd wns Just starting to ward the tent-flaps when McGlnnls camo back with tho whjp under his arm. Ho was breathing hard and mop ping his black fnco with a grout red handkerchief. Going nt once to tho table, ho examined tho ham, after which ho wrapped tho cloth about It again and put It carefully away In ono of the boxes. Then ho looked nt Turner. men no , lll0 nrtt Suwonn, would your 1, bit asked, 1UU.HH.....V- . . . Turner had not - voice iieioi.-. . non't you ti'i'iK 1,11 ' , ; - tei? .tasked.

When the tents were up In tho now place and nearly everything In Ilium Turner at last hoKon to talk again. "Why do you think they will comu back?" he asked. "I would be no prophet." answered McGlnnls. "If they come you ll see wuy. iu you'd better not start on your trip to day." he added. And that wns all ho would say. ex cept to assure Turner that he need have no fenr whatever. "Well, there they are," later an nounced McGlnnls. who hns Just fin ished baking several pans of bread and three largo pies. It was late In the nfteruoon. but seemed later than It was on account of the smoke through the forest. Turner's rllle wns by his able, nnd he Instantly took It up. "Put It down. Thnt was all n Joke." said McGlnnls. "a young Indian Joke. If they can only scare a white iiiiin they nre happy. I saw their game as soon ns I caught eye of their palmed faces. I know what kind 'a Jokes they like, so I made friends with 'em with the whip. lMn It to me now." And he put the gun nslde nnd went to tho tent opening. The same three Indians entefrd. but they wore, no blankets nnd the paint wns off their foreheads and cheeks. Thev came In smiling. The tall one carried a hnuuch of venison a pence offering which ho put down on the tnble. McGlnnls shook hnnds with them nnd Invited them to sit nt the tnble. Then he brought out n loaf of his fresh bread nnd n pie for each. He nlso tint the venison carefully awny. Turner stood by nnd watched the Indians cat, and they looked nt him occasionally with perfectly solemn faces. He wns lu no mood, however, to enjoy being near them, and wns the only member of the party who never appreciated their sense of humor. Very soon the forest fires were al lowed to go out and we wero regularly supplied with venison, even after tho pack train came. And McGlnnls was held In highest regard by the entire Indl.ia population. Chlcngo Itecord. OLDEST CRADLE IN AMERICA. Foil ml In I'll 1 lnlc! jili la ' tornue llnuir, nml In Ovrr .'S 10 Yeir Hit!.
