CROMWELL'S MOTHER.
full Trait of the Great Pro-
tectOr's Nature.

The sympathy existing between this
mother and son is one of the most beau
tiful traits in divers personal history.
They loved each other with q passionate
affection that no time or change
lessened, and when he arrived at the
summit of his power, though she was
then upward of 30 years of age, he ap-
pointed her royal apartments in White
hall, and visited her every day. Noble
quantity says: ''She occasionally yet
offered the protector advice, which he
always heard with great attention, but
acted as he judged proper It is pleas
ant to think that this fine old lady died
happily before her sons power began
to wane. 1t is pleasant to think of the
great protector kneeling to receive her
dying blessing, and of her last smiling
words to him and his children: "A
goodnight, dears!' There is yet por-
trait of her at Hinchinbrooke, which
shows us q handsome woman, with q
face full Of character, and a rather mel
ancholy expression, Her dress is that
Of a gentlewoman Of the time--a white
satin hood, pearl necklace, and neck
erchief edged with rich lace. The man,
tie is of green satin edged with gold
lace, and fastened with a jeweled clasp.

QUALITY AND NEWS.

Fame and Excellence Are Determine
Ing Factors in Successful Develop
ment-One OF the Important Func-
tions of High-Class Newspapers.
In presenting interesting phases of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation of as great value in their adj
vertising columns as in those devoted
to the publication of the principal
events Of the day; and when the fame of
a product is extended beyond it's natural
limits into foreign lands, and large de-
mand created throughout G reat Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and Al
RIGA, it becomes pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which so great success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs,
the product of the California Fig Syrup
Company. The merits of this we'll
known excellent laxative were first
made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers of
the United States; and is one of the dis
tinct achievements of the press. It is
now we'll known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, ap-
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and eff
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and ac-
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. 1t is frequently referred to as
the remedy of the healthy, because it is
used by people who enjoy good health
and who live well and feel well and are
well informed on all subjects generally,
including laxatives. In order to get it's
beneficial effects, it is necessary to get
the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.

ed for his skill. Thorndyke was anxious for
the return of the Phantom, and was now
in the habit of daily taking a walk up the
gently sloping cap of the cliff, which sud-
denly breaks away to the sea in an almost
sheer precipice, to get, if possible, glimpse
of his craft. Oftentimes on these occasions
Gertrude would be with him.
One day Ames asked him to give McCary
an overhauling for some papers taken by
his sister from Mrs. Badely's desk, which
were now missing Accordingly, when next
he met the doctor, he asked him for the
papers. McCary had his gun with him, and
his gray eyes were bloodshot, betokening a
free use Of liquor. He started, and the gun
slipped from his hand. If there were any
doubts before that he was the thief, they
were now dispe1led. Before he could forAu-
late an answer Thorndyke leaped for and
laid hold of him. With one hand he twist
ed him around; with the other drew from his
breast pocket mass of papers, then with a
finishing push thrust him backward. By the
time the surly redcoat had gotten to his feet,
Donald had found what he wanted, and then
walked off with the gun over his shoulder
without even looking to see what might be
McCary's next move.
A few days later when Donald walked to
the cliff Gertrude was with him. He was
hundred feet in advance of her as he reached
the brow of the promontory. He gave q
shout as he sprang forward, for there,
stretching out for miles, vessel after vessel,
was the British feet.
Then he heard behind him piercing
shrek. Turning he saw Gertrude throw her
self on the form of McCary, just as he sent
a bullet whizzing by his head. In moment
he tore himself from the girl and put off in
full fight, and Thorndyke after him. They
met on the verge of the cliff, from which by
mighty effort the doctor was thrown head
long.
Then, turning, Donald hurried to where
the motionless form of Gertrude lay. His
passion broke against all restraint, and he
poured into her deaf ears the story of his
love, and kissed her white lips. Her eyes
! opened slowly, and he knew she had not
been deaf to all he had said. She looked him
squarely in the eyes and said: "Donald, have
