Her mother says; "My mother used California Fig Syrup, nnd when Carolyn became constipated we got some. It re lieved her constipation, sweetened her breath, made her well and happy. I have since used It for all her upsets nnd colds. It has kept her strong and energetic." For fifty years, mothers have used California Fig Syrup to overcome a child's bilious, headachy, feverish or fretful spells. Doctors recommend its soothing aid to keep bowels clear in colds or children's ailments; or whenever bad breath, coated tongue or listiessness warn of constipa tion. It assists In building up weak children. The genuine always bears the tame California. All drugstores. 4.AXATIVE-TONIC for CHILDREN Tlmf Is Crt Jtealet seven- year ltcHT' asked an Inquisitive one.

CHAPTER III ITonrt and his wife snt up late with flopsilmh Adams, for this time HeV sibnh had come with a set and de termined purpose to his sister's home. The trader's countenance had grown atom, nnd Catherine's choe'is were like those of a pule nun In the candle light. In Henri Bulnin's face were still the cheer and good humor and un ruffled equanimity of confidence and faith that Hepslbah. with the darkest pictures he had painted, had been un able to disturb. They were talking about war. As early as this spring of 17-10. the Amer ican wilderness had begun to stir with whispers of the Impending conflagra tion' width was destined soon to turn tlie eastern part of the contlnept Into 9. .'iT.'T''S P0 ' Ul7 ft" death. rVhlle (ieorge the Recent t England andriiilJhe Fifteenth of France were 'jyl"g t frlendsldp 'after the peace of Afi-la-ClmpeU France gasp in; for' breath with the flower of her armies burled on European battle fields, and England with her fighting forcS reduced on land to eighteen thousand men and to less than seven teen thousand on the sea, the vast colonies of the two countries, working out their own salvntlons, were steadily and surety and with deadly Intent en croaching npon each other. The stage was set for the writing of the bloodiest and mot picturesque pages In American history. South ward from the Richelieu were the bit terest of all the white men's enemies, the warriors of the Six Nations, and northward, sweeping eagt and west through the Canadas, were the forty scattered tribes who bore allegiance to New France. Behind these savage vassals, on one side, were eleven hun dred thousand English colonists hold ing the sea-coast lands from Maine to Georgia, and on the other less than eighty thousand souls, counting women and children as well as men, to de fend and hold the Illimitable domains of New France, which reached from the upper Canadas to the Gulf of Mex ico and from the Alleghanies to the Rocky mountains. Of this alarming disparity In power of fighting men, and of the pitiless scourge which he swore would some day sweep through all the country of Lake Champlaln an the Richelieu, Hepslbah Adams had spoken at length but with small effect on Henri Eulain. "Let war come if It must," said Henri. "The heart of New France Is set behind an Impenetrable wall of rock and forest, and with these ram parts in our favor, eighty thousand will be a match for the million Eng lish of they come this way. As for me, should lighting chance to come why, I shall be ft friend to both sides and strike at neither. For no matter what cause should bring ajout the strife, I could not strike at the people of my Catherine's blood, nor would she have me turn against my own. So why move from here? It Is neutral ground, and we, being neutral, are fitly placed here. Oneldas and Mo hawks have eaten under our roof as well as Hurons and Algonrpilns, and when 'deadly enemies such as these meet thus on common ground, what cause have we for fear?" A light of pride glowed In Cath erines' eyes as she listened to her hus band's words, and she added: ' - "Heurl loves the Indians, and I have grown to love them, too. Tltey afe all our friends." " ' "Friends !" sniffed Hepslbah. "Henri, it Is because of Catherine and Jeems that I call yon a fool.. Take them where this danger does not hang day and night along the edges of the frontiers. Take them to the St. Law rence, If you will, or bring them south Into Catherine's country. But do one or t'other, for God's sake, or the day will come when Christ himself cannot save you," and his voice shook with earnestness. "There will be no war," Insisted Henri stubbornly. "England and France have bled themselves white on Continental battlefields, and the pence i which was signed only last October will surely not be broken aguln while you and I are living, for Hanover and Austria have had their fill, as well as the others, and are like two dead men 1 90 their backs." I That Is right," nodded Catherine, with a shudder. "I think all fighting I Is oer for many years." ! "Fools Innocents I" her brother growled. "I tell you neither Geotge nor Louis will have r thing to do with the running of this wnr until very mile of woods between our col enle ard your city t Quebec Is red , irHb Ore and blov-j. God love me, it 6L has already begun I French and Eng lish traders are fighting wherever they come together along the frontiers, and the hired Indians of one are taking scalps for t'other. Even white men have Joined In that pretty game, for Massachusetts has sent out I.ovewell and his lll'ty men to hunt the heads of Indians and FrenchIt makes no dif ference which, though the order says redskins only! at a price of live shil lings n day plus a bounty for every scalp that Is taken; and down In New York country Sir William Johnson counts out English money for human hair, while the French and you know It, Hour! ! nre paying a hundred crowns apiece for white scalps as well as red. It's hnlr the Indians are bring ing In Instead o' fur. And here you sit like a couple of foolish doves with a young one In the nest, your scalps worth fifty pounds a piece, your win dows open, your door unlocked, your senses gone." Catherine rose from her seat and came around to her brother so that she stood behind him with her arms about his shoulders. "Hepslbah, we know this you have told us It true," she said, pressing her cheek against his face. "There Is terrible murder along the frontiers from which you have come, and that Is why Henri has brought Jeems and me Irjto this coun try of hU where are only peace aad friendship and no" thought of the hid eous killings and ugly trafttcklngs you Speak about. You have argued against yourself, Brother, for It Is you who should move out of strife and danger and come to live with us." "Together we will have a paradise here," urged Henri. "And I will find you a wife." added Catherine. "A wife who will love you greatly, and until you have children of your own we will give you half of Jeems." Hepslbah rose gently out of her arms. "For Jeems you should change your home to a place where there Is a schoolmaster and more for him to learn," he said, catching desperately at a last argument where all others had failed. "In all of New France and the Eng lish colonies there Is no better teacher than our Catherine," answered Henri proudly. "In English and French she has given to Jeems more than he could ever have learned In your town of Albany or our college In Quebec; for there. In one place, be would have been English, and In the other, French, while here he Is both. like his father and mother, and will never strike at either of the two bloods that are In his veins." "Of that I am sure," agreed Cath erine. "I pray God my Jeems will never be a fighting man." When Hepslbah went to his cot In the loft, he stood for a moment with his lighted candle beside Jeems' bed where the boy lay sleeping with the cloth of velvet close to bis hands, a smile on his lips. Looking down on him Hepslbah 'nought of Henri Bulnin's last words and his sister's prayer, and his lips moved whisperlngly to him self, "They can't keep it from you, lad hope hor prayer nor all their faith. It's coming, and when It comes you'll strike and strike hard, and It's then you'll be what you're bound t'be, Jeems a fighting man!" Catherine's breakfast was on the table with the break of sunrise, and Jeems was even ahead of that, helping bis father with the chores. The ox was fed and the cart ready for a day's rough travel before his Uncle Hepsl bah came down from his sleep. Talk of war and massacre and death had left no shadow In Catherine's heart, and Hepslbah could hear her singing. The sound of her voice made him pause and face the south. His wide shoulders twitched, and he marked the swelling and dips of the timbered solitudes of Forbidden valley, and saw where the Mohawks would enter It Boosts Golfer Toward In the history of the world It Is not likely that any game or pastime has been given quite so much serious attention us the game of golf. Half of the men and women who have played golf seem to have Invented some sort of a gadget to Improve the possibility of making a perfect score and If all the Inventions of this char acter were placed end to end they would probably reach to some place or other and back again several times. An enthusiastic Englishman points with pride to a device which he has Invented to enable the player to dot termlne whether he and his club are In exactly the proper position before attempting to bang the ball.

With, the shiver still In his blood, he turned and found Odd standing close behind him, also facing the stillness and mystery of the valley, his nose snltllug the air, and his eyes as the man's had been a moment before tilled with a steadiness and tenseness of lock which had In It a somber and voiceless foreboding. At the touch of Hcpslbnh's hand tha strain seemed to leave Odd's body. "It'll bear watching day and night, but 'specially In that hour of darkness which comes Just before the crack o' dawn. Not now, but soon I" When Jeems went ahead of his fa ther and undo to Lussan's place, he did not burden himself with unneces sary habiliments of either peace or war. He wore his old suit of brown homespun cloth, with Indian-made moc casins and leggings of doeskin, and on his head was a frontiersman's cap with an eagle feather In tt From un der this cap his blond hair fell with Its ends touching his shoulders, and with only his bow for a weapon his slim young body was free and buoyant and much handsomer than it had been ! the previous day with Its carefully choaep, raiment and warHke accoutre- ments. He was tilled With exultation min gled with I determined eagerness. Ha j knew he would fight if I'sul Tacha was at Lussan's place, and what was going to happen In that fight was aa definitely fixed In his mind. Ha was j on his way to elevate hlmatlb to su-1 prerae helgl ts In the opinion of Marie . Antoinette Tonteur after he had given her the piece of velvet. No one was ahead bf him when ha arrived at Lussan's place. It was nine o'clock, and the sale was not until eleven. Half of a young ox was spitted on a long Iron bar and slowly roast- , Ing over a red hot mass of hickory j coals. The outside Iutch oven was filled with a huge baking of bread, ami benches were set with pewter and snow-white dishes of poplar wood. Lusnan was a famous maker of whisky j and flip ami beer, and three barrels were ready, hoisted on chunks of wood with their spigots down, waiting for 4U willing hands of his friends and neighbors to turn them. 1 Jeems hunted out the plow and kettle and loom which his father wanted to buy. While occupied In this wsy, he came upon a table piled with a hotchpot of nrtlcles, and his heart gave a pump when he saw a number of books printed In English. His mind was filled with the thought of his mother's Joy If he could take thesa treasures home to her. There were five of the books, Malvern Dale, ' Evelina, Telemachus. Elolza, and Jo seph Andrews, a thrilling list of titles it seemed to him, and as quickly as ha could he approached Lussan upon tha 1 subject of their worth and purchase!. ' Seeing no merit In printed English and small chance for their sale, and being as well a free hearted man and al ready warmed by his own excellent ' borr, Lussan gave them to Jeems. Overjoyed by this unexpected wind- ' fall of fortune, Jeems began to watch anxiously for the coming of his father and Uncle Hepslbah and for the ap pearance of the seigneur Tonteur and whoever might be with him. ) He placed himself where ha could sea down the road that came from tha Tonteur selgneurie, and when at last ha heard the auctloneVr's voice bel- j lowing forth bis announcement that tha sale was about to begin, he felt a somber sinking of his hopes. They livened Instantly when three, figures , on horseback appeared at the end of the half mile of road. The foremost rider was Tonteur, the second Paul Tache, and In tha third saddle rode a slim, wlde-hatted little person who was none other than Marie Antoinette Tonteur herself. . , ' (TO UK CONTINUED.)
