General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World ha,
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of kno9.n
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its CON-

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, vet

In supplying that demand with it's ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.

doubled his efforts until he had reached
his goal, when he discharged his musket
toward the surgeon, and was out of sight
in an instant. To gain the highway and
throw himself into his saddle, detained
Lawton but a moment, and he rode to the
side of his comrade just as the figure dis
appeared.
Which way has he fed?" cried the
trooper.
Where you cannot follow-into that
wood"
The disappointed trooper, perceiving
that his enemy had escaped him. now
turned his eyes, which were flashing with
anger, upon his comrade, and gradually
his brow relaxed, and his look changed
from it's fierce expression to covert laugh
ter. The surgeon sat in dignifed com
pHsure on his horse: his thin body erect,
and his head elevated with the indigna-
ton Of one conscious of having been un-
justly treated.
"Why did You suffer the villain to es-
cape" demanded the captain. "Once
within reach of my sabre, and would
have given you a subject for the dissect-
ing table,"
Twas impossible to prevent it." said
the surgeon. ''The rogue threw himself
on the other side of this fence, and left
me where you see; nor would the man in
the least attend to my remonstrances, or
to an irtimation that you wished to hold
discourse with him."

A meager hand was extended for an
instant over a rock, in the air, ana af-
terward nothng further was seen or
heard in that quarter.
"0uite an extraordinary interruption" "
said the astorished Sitgreaves, 'Gnd a
letter of a very mysterious meaning"
"Oh! It's nothing but the wit Of some
pumpkin, who thinks to frighten two Of
the Virginians by an artifce OF this
kind" said the trooper; ''but le. me tell
you, Mr.. Archibald Sitgreaves, you were

said Lawfon, mdsing; but he has n
heart above enmity, and soul that would

The surgeon turned Il vacant eye on
his companion as he uttered this s0lilo-
guy, while the penetrating looks of the
trooper had already discovered another
pile of rocks, which, juttins forward,
nearly obstructed the highway.
What the steed cannot mount, the
foot of man can overcome" exclaimed the
wary partisan. Throwing himself again
from his saddle, and leaping a wall of
stone, he began to ascend the hill. This
movement was no sooner made than Law
ton caught a glimpse of the figure of
man stealing rapidly and disappearing on
the opposite side Of the precipice.
Spur, Sitgreaves-spur," shouted, the
trooper, dashing over every impediment
in pursuit, ''and murder the villain as he
flies"
The former part of the request was
promptly complied with, and O few mo-
nients brought the surgeon in full view of
a man armed with musket
