"My mother used California Fig

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

children.

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. He has

and where they would como out If his
prediction and l.ls fears came true.
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. . , '

Is handicapping Italian engineers In
their work of reconstructing tho

Naples. Ior.cna of now homes have
already boon constructed to replace
the loosely built old dwellings de
stroyed by the ipiuke recently, They
are pleasant structures with Several
rooms, far more comfortable In every
way than tho buildings which they
replace, and one would naturally ex
pect the peasants to acclaim the
work and lo struggle for the hand
some new homes. On the contrary,
many peasants have utteilj refused
to live In them, one of tho bjectlons
being that farm animals, which gen

their owners In the hilltop communi
