In the darkness ahead there were occa
sional flares of red flame«, and from them
ascended iong, comet-like tracks of light
th a t flashed into momentary blaze». The
boom of the cannon, the wierd shrieking
of the shells and their sharp explosion
blended in one wild devil’s concert.
The boy from Maine drew back quickly
from the muzzle of the starboard gun No.
1 of the U nited S tates gunboat M ackinaw.
Tbe old gunner standing rigid drew the
lanyard tow ard himself with a sudden
Jerk. There was a deafening ro ar and a
cloud of choking smoke enveloped the gun
crew. A nother shell had been sent into
the solid earthw orks of F ort Fisher.
The boy from Maine rushed forw ard
through the smoke and th ru st the clean
ing rod into the muzzle of the gun. An
other of tbe crew dashed a pailfull of
w ater over the long steel tube. Tbe gun
was reloaded and another shell was h u rl
ed at the sp urts of flame ahead. They
had been doing this a t intervals since the
early afternoon, and now It was almost
m idnight—m idnight of C hristm as eve,
1864.
“Cease firing.” came a hoarse order
out of the dark. The gun crew of No. I
flung themselves down on the sloppy deck
w ith audible sighs of relief. The devil’s
concert did not abate noticeably. The
rem aining vessels of the Federal fleet
were still exchanging com plim ents with
F o rt Fisher.
The old gunner quickly filled his pipe,
and the glow from the bowl half illum in
ed his wrinkled face now and then.
“ I’u t’s me in mind of a C hristm as eve
I spent at the mine» in C aliforny,” he
remarked, “only it’s ju st a mite worse.”
“ Don’t talk about C hristm as,” said one
of the crew in a husky voice. “ I left
three children at home. They are in bed
now and three little stocking« are hanging
above the fireplace same as always, I
hope. The wife is sitting up a while m ay
be, a thinking of me or maybe saying a
bit of a prayer. Tton’t like to think of it
when things are so dubious. W hat are
you thinking about, F ritz ? ”
“Of the V aterland—wune,” replied an
unm istakable accent. “ Vat is the m atter
m it the boy? He is alw ays talking be
fore.”
The boy heard nothing. lie spraw led
on the deck w ith his head on one arm .
The smell of the pine trees and the odor
of boiling maple sap was in his nostrils.
He was many hundreds of miles away
from the M ackinaw, off F ort F isher, back
in the Maine woods with a augaring party.
The smoke of the pine-knot fire was ris
ing slowly and the golden brown syrup
hissed and bubbled in the kettles. Merry
little shrieks of laughter rang in his ears.
She was there, the pink and white of her
face so prettily emphasized by the mink
tippet. How absurdly small those little
red m ittens seemed in com parison with
h is! How blue her eyes w ere! There
was no one looking—ju st one kiss on
those lips created solely for the purpose—
“ Starboard b atteries commence firing!"
came the hoarse and relentless order from
the darkness.
A none too gentle kick brought the
boy back to the M ackinaw, but her face
looked a t him for an in stan t out of th<
gloom. S tarboard gun No. 1 again adde^
its voice to the devil’s chorus.
The sky began to turn from black tr
gray. “ A C hristm as present,” said th|
gunner grimly as he jerked the lanyard.

There are two classes of remedies: those of known qual
ity and which an» permanently beneficial in effect, utting
gently, in harmony w ith nature, when nature needs assist
ance; and another class, composed of preparations of
unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo
ra rily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural
functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of
the remediesof known quality andexcellent e is the ever
pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of
plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup,
in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con
tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor, it is the remedy
of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system
gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti
pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi
ples an^
and '4u
quality
and I the
,,,ly are known to physicians generally, ami
thewfort wet with thelf tppro\ .ii, us u < ii a-. vc ith
the favor of many millions of well informed persons who kn now
of their own personal knowledge and from actual experiei
experience
that it is a most excellent laxative remedy We donnt claim that
it w ill cure all manner of ills,but recommend it for w hat it really
represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence,
containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character.
1 here are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed
as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence
of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go
elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known
article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know,
and who allow themselves to he imposed upon. They cannot expect
its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy.
Io the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said
that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional
integrity and the good w ill of their customers too highly to offer
imitations of the
Genuine—Syrup of Figs
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order
to buy tbe genuine article and to get its beneficial effects,
one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of
the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.— plainly printedon the
front of every package. Price, 50c per bottle. One size only.
