fash said It was because he intended
TO tcsr down the old house and put mp
q better one. And tear down the old
place ~ I'D, aal he carted the bricks
away to his mystery shed-to atore
them there until he was ready to
build, he said.
But the only thing that Pierre built
at that time was q wooden water
trough. leading from his well 70 the
brick shed. Most Of the day and all
of the night he locked himself In that
shed with his secret. Those who
passed In the rear Of the place de-
clared that they could hear him grind
Ing something, and because Of . pool
OF red water which had accumulated
near the shed they thought 1t must
be the bricks.
Now, Fred Richie was one Of those
who regarded Pierre's conduct n
most suspicious. He gave good deal
Of thought to the mystery Of the shed
and the tearing down of McGinn's sa-
loon, and finally hs recalled having
seen Succotash grab that piece OF
brick and make of with It, Then 1t
occurred to him also that 1t was Pi-
ere who had caused all the trouble
between Piksy and Slanteye by steal
ing the chimney. And one day when
Succotash was down in town buying
provisions Fred sneaked out the back
way Of his shop with = bit and stock
and bored a hole In the mortar be-
tween the bricks of Pierrs's shed to
discover what his secret might be. As
Pierre worked that night Fred had his
eye glued to this hole and noted what
ne was doing.
Next morning his neishbors were
surprised ut finding that Ritchie's
chimney had fallen during the night,
and they we're astonished to see Fred
carrying the bricks into his barber
shop and piling them up with great
care. He wasn't going to have them
stolen, as Pikey's were, he told them.
And - they passed by the shop later
In the day and looked in they saw him
pounding away at the bricks, breaking
them into bits and scanning each piece
carefully.
One of his customers was lot into
the secret. and another chimney fell.
This man passed tho secret on to a
bosom friend. and then thers was an
other crash Of brick Within "a hours

town was pulverisins hriok az II life

The secret was secret NO longer.
Succotash had found gold In the piece
Of brick that Richie had seen him
dart forward to pick UP, and he had
found more in the bricks he had stol-

General Demand

OF the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its cx-
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.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get it's beneficial effects always buy
the genuine by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
