An Excellent Combination.
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. In order to get Its beneficial
effects and to avoid Imitations, please

GINNIS, tho cook, barehead
ed, his grny hnlr singed and his
face black nud streaked with
lines of perspiration, was nt camp:
lighting n" forest lire.
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

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.

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.

"Why do you think they will comu

"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.

Instantly took It up.
"Put It down. Thnt was all n Joke."
said McGlnnls. "a young Indian Joke.

soon ns I caught eye of their palmed
faces. I know what kind 'a Jokes they
like, so I made friends with 'em with

he put the gun nslde nnd went to tho

Then he brought out n loaf of his fresh

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.
