Quick anger famed in his fathers

II was only Sally he saw. as one sees
with fear.stalled nerves the locomotive
as Il leaps upon him.
And the onlookers, crowding at the
hand 20 hand battle-to wait that way
TIL the last moment and then to spring
like tigers-or a piece OF tremendous
foolishness.
Both OF you must be absolute sure"
said Hilary Groff to Sam. "or absolute
fools! Amt you got no pity on the
girl?"
Shut up!" answered Sam, "and
watch. I'm calculating on him
leaving town tomorrow That 10 my
game. And I'm playing for the pot"
You see that Sam had not forgotten
Seffy for a moment. even II Seffy had
forgotten him. He stepped noiselessly
three PAGES toward Sally. crossed In
front OF Seffy and took her arm. There
was a laugh almost ribald. Seffy could
not see clearly--he could, least OF all
think clearly-he did not know what
had happened. He saw only the little
white signal before him and blindly
put out his arm.
1t did not reach Sally at all. but Sam
who turned and said with an imitation
OF girlish politeness:
Thank you, Mr.. Baumgartner. I'm
suited"
And. Sally. her face flaming with
vengeance, took the trouble TO turn
back and cry-not into his ear, but
into his very heart:
Thank you. I'm suited"
There are some people to whom no
punishment seems sufficient. while any
remains to be administered. One OF
the onlookers was OF such a sort. He
cried out as poor Seffy skunk away:
GIVE her back her dollarl"
And another:
"Or ninety-nine cents, anyhow"
5effy Quailed and drew back from
the line-it was the instant that

might still have knocked Sam down

man who had but a moment before
crushed through the line. and wild
1eers followed him.

much like his own as to make the alt
uation extremely embarrassing TO even
Old Baumgartner. who had let Il be
known that he was the active coadju-
tor Of his son. To vanquish Seffy was
to vanquish him. and he. n not ssny
himself. screwed ssny's courage TO the
sticking point After this, gsffy weak
ened no more. but proclaimed his pur.
pose. II was generally conceded that
the one who failed now would have to
leave town.

forced by circumstances into . public
rivalry which he detestsd. and. Il
may a. well be confessed-feared. II
must, also, be explained that sally's
course In maintaining those two strings
to her bow until the breaking moment
was not only universally commended,
but was the unswerving custom Of the
vicinass for girls 90 fortunate a. to
have two strings. Il was held likely
to force one or the other to the point
and this was the purpose OF rustic
coQuctry! And sally's coQuetry was
not only acknowledged; II was toll.
Grated. and. / fear. encouraged. And,
alas, II had been as sweet to her as
vinous dissipation to men. But now
II had made not only her own, but

.CHILD'S TONGUE BECOMES COATED
 IF CONSTIPATED
WHEN CROSS, FEVERISH AND SICK GIVE "CALIFORNIA
 SYRUP OF FIGS"

Children love this fruit laxative" and nothing else c1eanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
 A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is, they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick feverish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonfuI of California Syrup of Figs" and in a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out Of the sys- tenn, and you have a well, playful child again.
 Millions of mothers give California Syrup of Figs because it is perfectly harmless; children love it, and it never fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels.
 Ask your druggist for Q 50-cent bot tie of "California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all /ages and for grown ups plainly printed on the bottle. Be- ware of commercials sold here. Get the genuine, made by California Fig syrup Company" Refuse any other kind with contempt.
