In cases like this, California Fig
Syrup never fails to work wonders, by
the quick and gentle way it removes
all the souring waste which is caus¬
ing the trouble, regulates the stom¬
ach arid bowels and gives these or¬
gans tone and strength so they con¬
tinue to act normally of their own ac¬
cord. Children love its rich, fruity
flavor nnd it’s purely vegetable and
harmless, even for babies.
Millions of mothers have proved its
merit nnd reliability in over 50 years
of steadily increasing use. A Western
mother, Mrs. May Snavely, Montrose,
California, says: “My little girl, Ed¬
na's, tendency to constipation was a
problem to me until I began giving
her California Fig Syrup. It helped
her right away and soon her stomach

Since then I've never had to have any
advice about her bowels. I have al¬
so used California Fig Syrup with
my little boy, with equal success.”

She turned her head to where her
husband was walking with Professor
Burton, whose son was frying to Im¬
press Celia with the Idea that a col
lege boy, at twenty, stands on an
intellectual eminence not easily com¬
prehensible to others. Professor Bur¬
ton held a chair In philosophy, hut it
was with living things that his leis¬
ure was occupied. Mrs. Burton and
Mrs. Hanby were cousins.
“No." said the professor, “I’ve long
ago given up the eoleoptera In favor
of something more fascinating. f
started by way of the reptiles, and
came logically to the birds."
•‘Logically?” said Hanby. “1 don’t
see t hat, but then I’m Ignorant in these
matters, if you’re Interested in birds,
you've come to the right spot, Tom
I’ve got ubout the best bird sanctu¬
ary In the state.”
On his way to it Hanby poured
into Professor Burton’s ears some of
the wisdom that had come to him
over the wire from the unknown mil¬
lionaire ornithologist. Hanby’s mem
ory was good, and he forgot nothing.
“You flatter me,” said the other,
when he finished. “You have quoted
almost verbatim from my article pub¬
lished In the May number of Popular
Natural History.”
"So that’s where he got it from!”
Hanby commented, n trifle ruffled.
“I thought the old faker was giving
me something from Ills own published
dope."
Hanby related the Incident Pro¬
fessor Burton shook his head.
“You must have made a mistake
in tlie name. Remember, till, this is
my pet hobby, and I know every writ¬
er on our birds. I’m president of my
State Ornithological association, and
corresponding member of a score ot
others. I’m in touch with every
ornithologist in this country, but I
have never heard of your million¬
aire. Me is neither a contributor to
the literature of the subject nor a
donor of funds for bird conservation.
Some of your friends have been play¬
ing a Joke on you.”
Half an hour later the professor
had changed his clothes to khaki and
puttees. He was armed with sketch
books, notebooks, and a costly cam
era. He declined any aid. He even
resented It.. Every now and then It
could he seen that he despised the
amateur ornithologist. His luncheon
had been put up for him, and he
promised to be In time to dress for
dinner.
He was glad, ns he fought Ills way
along, that he was armed with leath
er gauntlets and stout clothes. Na
ture had placed about this little
sanctuary a seemingly Impenetrable
barrier.
He had begun to despair of reach
ing the distant mound when he saw
that this solid hedge came to an
end. He stepped from ft to a path
worn by the foot of man—a path
three feet across, bearing the Impress
of recent treading.
Professor Burton set out to follow
the path to its end. Presently It
brought him to a stream, sunk at
least ten feet below the surrounding
ground, it was tills stream, he sup¬
posed. which had been diverted In
order that the twenty-acre take half
a mile away might be fed.
He resumed his silent walk along
the path. The acrid smell of a cigar
smote Ills nose. He knew the noisome
long and narrow cigars which only
native Indians enjoy. Then the odor
was wafted from him, and he found
his path dropping toward the stream
level.
The professor stopped. He had sud¬
denly encountered a stranger.
It would be ditiiculr to say which
of the two seemed the more aiuazecl
The professor looked upon a small
but well-proportioned. man dressed
wltb conservative elegance. The
stranger’s face was florid, and his
mild blue eyes were accentuated Id
size by reason of strong lenses.
Mr. Appleton, for tils part, thought
he had run across an inquiring scout
master laden with ail the impedimen
ta that his position demanded. Bur¬
ton was tall and slight, and suggest¬
ed erudition.
“How did you get here.” Mr. Apple
ton began, "and by whose leave have
you trespassed thus?”
“1 am kin by marriage to Mr. Han
Dy,” said the professor. “He gave
me permission. Your status, sir, is
not so clear."
‘‘In order to make my position
clear." he said frankly, "I must term
myself a sanitation expert. Mr.
Hanby has heard that former ten¬
ants of the Gray house have suffered
from sewer-gas poisoning. He does
not wish to alarm his family and vis¬
itors. I am, therefore, making a
sort of secret investigation. Much

"Before doing so, I should like you
to come with me and see more. You
cannot possibly Judge from here.”
Professor Burton followed the oth¬
er along a winding pathway, until ne
was In the thicket’s very center
When his guide paused on the edge
of an opening, the professor ex
claimed upon the oddity of a lake

open Instead.
“It was only partially filled in,”
Mr. Appleton told him. "When I
took charge of the work, 1 had my
own views—very Interesting views,
too.’ he added, chuckling. “Oh, dear
ine, yes! They amuse me even now.
You can settle a moot point for me’
He looked over the edge of the open¬
ing, gazing intently at some low
bushes whose roots were in the moist
earth. “What is that?" Appleton
asked. “Look at If and tell me.”
Professor Burton moved toward the
edge and peered down.
‘‘Is this one of the things that
amuse you?” he demanded.
“Yes,” said Mr. Appleton, smiling.
With that he gave the other a push
The professor, with waving arms,
sought to recover his balance, hut
fulled. He went up to his knees In
ttjud. His precious camera had part
ed company from him, The spectacle
of the amiable gentleman with the
florid face, who smiled down at him
angered him. He shook a muddy
fist.
“You shall pay for this outrage 1’
he shouted.
"Perhaps.” said Appleton cryptical
ly, “but not Just yet.”
Mr. Appleton gave another of his
excellent owl Imitations. In a few
moments Luigi Bartoll Joined him.

Adolf Smucker had proved a tract¬
able prisoner, fn reality he lacked
the courage to do anything that
might bring him punishment He
realized that he was the prisoner of
three men who had powers of life
and death over him. Of Appleton he
saw almost nothing.
James Delaney, the second In com¬
mand. knew Smucker’s sort, nnd
despised him. Luigi was his Jailer.
He enjoyed incendiary talk. The day

victim.
Adolf Smucker looked np, that
afternoon, to find his cell invaded by
a stranger—not such a man as the
previous young capitalist In evening
dress, but a worker clad In muddy
khaki, stained and torn.
Professor Burton wondered at the
heartiness of his welcome. After ne
had been an hour iu Smucker’s com¬
pany, he spoke incisively.

Wedding “Gifts” Once Held Legal Obligation
By a wedding custom common in
the British isles until the early part
of the Nineteenth century, the couple
sent our invitations in which pres¬
ents were solicited from those who
accepted the bidding. More strange,
these solicited gifts were regarded
in the light of debts to be paid back
by the couple. On the eve of the wed¬
ding the groom received at his house
presents of money, cheese, butter and
cattle from bis friends, and the bride
received similar gifts at her house
front her friends. An account of each
gift and the giver was kept in writing
by the clerk of the wedding and the
presents then became debts, which in
some cases were transferable or as¬
signable to other persons. In other
words these wedding gift-debts were
repayable upon demand at aDy time,
and upon refusal, recoverable at law.
it means that your Intellect la do¬
able to assimilate the Ideas you
crowd Into It. Be kind enough to
leave me in silence. 1 find such twad¬
dle as yours extremely tedious ”
infuriated at this, Smucker at¬
tacked the professor. He was res¬
cued by Luigi. The professor was
bigger, stronger, and In a rather evil
temper. Luigi dragged him to an
other small stone room and shut the
door.
“What the devil?” said Leslie Bar¬
ron, rudely awakened.
“I am not the devil," snapped the
professor, “but I feel like him. I
have been brutally beaten. A Caliban
from southern Italy has promised to
twist my head from by neck. 1 am
in no mood for the ordinary social
amenities.”
“Another nut 1” sighed Leslie. “Tell
me. If you’ve any decency left, where¬
abouts 1 am.”
“You are in what my cousin Hil¬
ton Hanby terms a bird sanctuary.
You, I take It, are one of the birds.
C presume that I am another."
“i was blackjacked by that Infernal
Appleton. I had an Idea that I’d been
put in an automobile and taken miles
away."
Leslie recounted the misadventures
he had suffered.
"Never mind!” said the other. “You
will be rescued when they get me
out.”
"Cheery little optimist, aren’t you?”
Leslie retorted. “That man Apple
ton is the devil. He’ll arrange it so
that you won’t be looked for.”
•Tnqjossible!” said the professor.
Leslie Barron was right. Appleton,
who had a skill with the pen that
might have earned him a great name j
among forgers, was at that very mo
rnent looking at Professor Burton's
notes and forging a letter. He called
to mind the professor’s way of speak¬
ing. This is what Mrs. Burton read:
Have sustained Injury to corner ot

RdviBable to trust to local physician.

ry. Will telephone vou from the city.

eyesight,” Mrs. Burton declared. ’’It
Is Just like him to rush to see a spe¬
cialist. Oh, why was l out?”
“You couldn't have done anything
If you had been here,” her cousin
said, comforting her. “We shall have
a telephone call before long.”
But nothing was heard from Pro¬
fessor Burton.

Pelham heard a rap on his door. HR
ton Hanby entered. Behind him was ‘
Junior. They were both dressed as

"Am I asleep at the switch?" Bill
cried, rubbing his eyes. “What is it?” :
‘‘Florence Burton is going to see the j
Pine Plains police tomorrow,” Hanby j
answered. “I can’t blame her. You
know what that means. Every move

pose I shall have to tell everything

“You don’t mean to say you’ve got

with Incredulity in his voice.
“1 mean Just thaL If you’ll get up

was a liar, but tie gained his end. I
did not have the thicket removed.
He evidently wanted it kept as it was,
and 1 obediently fell Into the trap.”
Hanby’s manner was Impressive.
“Bill, there’s something wrong about
that bird sanctuary!”
‘T believe you’re right,” agreed
Pelham, much impressed. “Who could
have done it?”
“Dad thinks,” Junior broke in,
“that we ought to see what that bird
sanctuary really contains.” He took
an automatic pistol from bis pocket,
and handed it to Pelham. “Dad and
I have one each.”

Air’* Temperature
The temperature of the air at a
given place depends not only on the
sunshine it is then getting but also on
I*s own recent history. Wind from the
south on a cloudy day may be as warm
as wind from the north on a sunshiny
day. This ij particularly true when,

22 years, and during this time I

Many housewives who pride them¬
selves on the spotless appearance of
their homes are careless about the
lubrication of hinges and locks. Try
a few drops of 3-in-One Oil today
and see how quickly It brings out
rust, dirt and squeaks. For 3-in-One,
a blend of animal, mineral and vege¬
table oils, is distinctly different from
ordinary oil: it cleans and protects
as well as lubricates.
For 35 years 3-in-One has been
recognized as tlus best oil for sew¬
ing machines, vacuum cleaners, lawn
mowers, hinges and general house¬
hold lubrication. Insist on 3-in-One
Oil. At good stores everywhere, in 15c

Dragon Fly’s Life One
of Constant Hunting
The dragon fly begins life as one of
nature’s most repulsive creatures, liv
ing in the slime of ponds, nnd ends as
one of her daintiest insect creations.
About November the dragon fly eggs
hatch on ponds, producing hideous
grubs like grotesque spiders, of a dirty
mad color, not deserving their pretty
names of “nymphs.” As they grow in
size they grow in ferocity, attacking
water-fleas, small crustaceans, fish-fry
and tadpoles, and even nymphs small¬
er than themselves. After many
months of this life it leaves the wa¬
ter and takes to the air, when its life
of hunting is renewed.
It hunts mainly for small flies, hut
will attack even butterflies, shearing
off their wings. It Is useful, in that it
will fill its mouth with a compact
ball of a hundred mosquitoes at a
time. To its dying day it remains a
mighty hunter.—Providence Journal.
Picture Came in Handy
But Not as Work of Art
Robert Henri, the New York paint
er, was talking about a man who had
paid ?,800,000 for an old master.
“He isn’t a patron of the arts.” said
Mr. Henri, “lie’s a patron of the art
dealers. He buys as an investment
and advertisement, and his love of
pictures is on a par with the farmer’s,
“The farmer, you know, said to an
artist;
“‘You left a fine paintin’ here last
summer—paintin’ of -a cow and some
trees. It come in mighty handy.’
“‘Ah, you framed it and hung it in
your parlor?' said the artist.
‘“No. oh, no,’ said the farmer. T
the point „ff’n the canvas and
took it around to old George, the shoe
maker, and he made me a jim-dandy
pair of canvas shoes out of it, by
