THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance Of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA Fig SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
of the excellence of it's remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

him to be a detective, but soon learn
of his important work, for it is stated
that after his first years work on ship
board he saved the company S15, 900. 900
over and above his salary as the result
of his work.
A Thorough Training.
The early training Mr.. Filippini
had is rather different from that given
to prospective chefs of today. AS a
boy he went to a cooking institute in
Lyons. France. Here were taught sep
arately all the branches of the trade.
The beginner first learned the prepara-
ton of sauces of all kinds, and in the
second class he learned to prepare
vegetables. Whenever mistakes were
made or material wasted he was given
a clubbing. He advanced rapidly, and
finally went through the complete
course in baking. Then instead of hav-
ing to pay for instruction ne was i'm
ployed by the school as an instructor.
Later he travelled through Europe and
learned a great deal more in Switzer-
land. Germany and other countries,
coming direct from there TO Delmon-
ico's.
He has recently made a short trip to
study the preparation of foods in the
largest cities of Europe, and he knows
in what special dish or food each city
excels- For instance. he found that the
best bread was made in Turin, Italy
and Geneva, the reason being that they
pay more attention to kneading. The
material he has been gathering he ex-
poets to embody in a new book of
menus.
He likes the sea, feels just as safe
there as on land. and does not get sick,
although he has been on the toughest
trips. Very early in the morning he
is to be found exercising on deck.

cling companion.

fence. From far down the ravine
came the roar of the Tuckasiege river,
as its waters tumbled over the ragged
boulders that marked its bed. With
her elbows on the fence and her chin
resting in her hands Nance fingered to
listen to the roar of the river while she
dreamed. Small clouds were gathering
in the sky all round, and the young
girls eyes watched them slowly change
from one shape to another, forming to
her mind the outlines of various ami
mails and birds.
While Nance was thus lost in her
dreaming and picture-making, she sud-
denly felt an arm placed about her.
Whirling around she found herself in
the embrace of a tall, young noun
taineer who held her firmly about the
waist. and was looking a world Of
tenderness down into her eyes.

Zeb released her and stood back. For
a moment neither of them spoke. Nance
again stood holding the top rail of the
fence, and was gazing away down the
ravine. Zeb stood a few feet away,
with his eyes turned toward the ground.
At last he spoke.

spoke again.

Nance Hooper was standing at the

wound away toward the foot of the
mountain. There was a low rail fence
across the head of the ravine a few
yards from the mountain highway, and
against this fence Nance was leaning.
A great mass of flowing brown hair
reached far down below her waist,
about which her homespun frock was
tucked into a large roll, thus shorten

move about more freely. Up to the
right of the ravine was a little log
