over a tract known as Hunters

gested that the Alaskan bound

Gladness Comes

With better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasantef efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating tie
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order TO get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXativeS or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

and up his leg, until the entire left limb
was lifeless. DIR. Chopper. the Santa Fe

bored. The divans and chairs had been
arranged, In rows, as for the viewing Of
some spectacle, and every seat was taken,
most of the occupants being ladies. Two
men servants were handing around tea and
cake while Barney himself fitted hither
and thither, like gigantic butterfly in a
rose garden, scattering geniality and good
bumor wherever he went. The steady
him of conversation was frightened con-
stantly by silvery laughter. 1t was evil
dent that the gathering, with the possible
exception of that part of 1t standing pen
sively around the walls, was enjoying itself.

his heart suddenly stopped, and then went

had been conQuering his impulse to re-
treat by telling himself that all these idle
persons were nothing to him, but now when
he had recognized one person who was
everything to him he had to quell his rising
panic with new formula. Although out
of his depth and i'll at ease he knew that
he would not quit the field in a fright be-
fore the task he had set himself was even
begun. At the back of his nature there
was a certain bulldog obstinacy, the linn
itations of which had never yet been test
ed, although his unexpected meeting with
a number of his fellow creatures in an
evidently higher social station than his
own put a severe strain upon his moral
courage. In vain he told himself that he
was as good as any Of them, for in his
heart he did not believe that he was, so
the assurance was Of little value to him.

one in the middle of the hall, whereat there
was a laugh. Scimmins himself INDUCED

slightly. and in confused haste said:
Mr.. Chairman and fellow workers."
The crowd cheered Justify, and it was
some moments before Marsten could again
get hearing A feeling of despair came
over him as he stood before them. 1t was
only too evident that they all looked upon
the whole proceeding as great lark,
something in the way of a music hall en-
tertafnment without the beer-which was
a drawback, of course but also without
advantage, for 1t left so much more cash
to expend in stimulants after the fun was
over. He wondered, as he looked at the
chatting, jocular assemblage. whether he
was taking too serious a view of the sit

lecturer had said, but the workmen them

When the disorder had subsided SO that
his voice could be heard Marsten went on:
Mr. Gibbons asserted that the manager
had refused to consult with his employees,

not true. Mr.. Sartwell told me himself
that he was willing to receive a deputation

who had not received a card; but But
tons did not know that. and he swung
open the door with fiorid flourish as If
the visitor had been a duke. The incomer
was as much taken aback by the triumph
of nature and art at the head of the stair
as Haldiman had been, but although he
paused a moment in wonder he did not
retreat. He had a vague notion for an
instant that 1t might be Barney himself,

Scimmins was in the chair, looking very
uneasy and out of place, not knowing ex-
