"That very night Rose herself came
home, dressed as she had been when
che went away and looking precisely
the same. She berated her parents
soundly for not writing to her and ex-
planned that she had stopped in Lin

she cared more than the one she had

body who was willing to be their
daughter that they took her at her
word and never made any inquiries
about her actions of those few days.
For my part, believe they were
afraid to investigate, fearing they
would only learn some new proof OF
her deception. They did, however,
make diligent search for Roses dou-
BILE, who had turned my boarding
house into such o perfect hotbed OF
excitement, but she had died away
from the knowledge of the world as
mysteriously as she had appeared
among us.
"Rose relented towards the Doctor,
and would have taken him on half a
hint, but he seemed rather squeamish
about marrying woman whose pres.
ence infected him with feeling of in
decision as to whether he was making
love to his own wife or somebody
else's, and he wisely fought shy of her
and married a demure little creature
who has not yet developed the faculty
of materializing at will wherever her
fancy dictates. Rose isn't married
yet. I've seen her hundred times
since, and every time I am haunted by
score of vezing questions, and ]
know every Eone who was acquainted
with the circumstances can testify to
the same thing. Is she herself or
somebody else? We're there really
two girls or only one? If there were
two, which did the old folks really
keep at last for their daughter and
what became of the other ?"--Chicago

Glqdness Comes

With oetter understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant 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 o constfpated 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 debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to noto when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slsiilful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-infornedever Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfa action.

Mr. Bert II. Moses, the advertisement
and business writer OF 5o2 Third
street, Brooklyn. relates that he
recently had occasion to consult DR..
Us. Carreau. a well-known physi-
clan Of 1s West Twerlty-frst street,
New York City, fora stomach trouble
which wss pronounced type OF
dyspepsia. "After consultation"
writes Mr.. Moses, "the Doctor gave
me a prescription, anil was some
what surprised to note that tho
formula was nearly identical with
that OF Rlpans Tabules, for which I
had, on more than one occasion
prepared advertising matter. Ihad
DR.. Carreau's prescription filled, and
it proved satisfactory, giving quick
relief. A week later, when had
taken all the medicine, I again called
on the Doctor and mentioned the
similarity OF his prescription andthe
proprietary remedy SPOKEN Of, show
ing him both the remedy itself and
the formula. The Doctor was al
first somewhat inclined to criticise
what he called patent medicines, but
appeared to be surprised when he
noted to what extent his own pres
scription conformei to the formula
Ishowed him. 1t was practically
the same. After a shert time devo-
ted to noting the careful manner in
which the proprietary medicine was
prepared, he wound up by prescrib-
ing It for my case. OF course 1 had
to pay him for telling ne to do this,
but it was worth the cost to have
such high professional assurance
hat the advertised article was, in
fact, the scientific formula that it
purported to be. I might have
taken the proprietary medicine In
the beginning and saved the
Doctors fee, but think the conf
dence ! have acquired in the efficacy

ranch In San Mateo County. about Avo
