"1 sald I was more anxious to see the workings of the mines in which you were interésted, than I was seéing the people of Mexico." "What brought up' the subject?" There was a frown on Neil's face-- thie kind of lock I had learned to dread. "He asked me if I ever had visited Mexico." "And you told him"~---- : "That 1 hoped to go with you if youl went again," I interrupted. | "Rayburn is all right, but he apt to think things. Be very care- ful what you say to him." "PMaink things what mein?" "Oh, nothing in particular.

Rémember the "dose" mother insist- ed on--ecastor oil, calomel, cathar- tits. How you hated them, how youn fought against taking them. With our children it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well- founded. Their tender little "in- sides' are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansipg, give only deli- ¢lous "California Syrup of Figs." Its i 1s positive, but gentle. Mil pna of mothers keep this harmless "fruaic laxative" handy; they know dhildren love to take it; that if never falls to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a tedipoonful given to-day saves a sick child to-morrow. {Ask your druggist for a bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, chil- dren of all ages and for grown-ups platuly on each bottle.

Alkali In Shampoos Bad For Washing Hair Don't use prepared shampoos or anything else, that contains too much alkali, for this is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsitied cocoanut oil, for this is pure and. entirely greaseless. - It's very cheap, and beats Jayihing else all to pieces.

This conversation had taken place in the car on the way heme from Blanche Orton's dinner, Neil did not appear sleepy, and seemed inclined to talk after we reached home. So went into the library, where, in spite of all I could say, he took an- other drink 'nightcap' he call- ed it. his ddenly I thought: is is a gobd time to urge him 11 mee about business."' So I commenced "Neil, pleaso tell me how you sell the mines you get hold of? That is what you do, isn't it?" "1 dom't sell mines at stock, shares." "Bat it is mining stock?" "Yes. Naturally." 'But just how do you go about it? Do you do it by mail? 1 saw such a stack of circulars and addressed en- velopes the day I was down at the office--the day you were not there." "We do a lot by mail. Occasional- ly we get hold of someé--rich man," he had hesitated, "and land him for a few thousand shares." "And does that mean that people who are not rich buy mining stock?" "It means that people who want to: be rich buy it." Then: "By the way, Bab, I am going to bring a prospective customer home to dinner tomorrow night. Look your pretti- est. Better wear that dress. We will be alone, but I want you to make a good impression, And that is a stunning gown." "1 thought it was too, until I saw Mrs. Orton's." "You couldn't wear clothes Blanche does. the type." "But why? She looked so wonder- fully--well,--different. 1 was quite out of conceit with my dress." "Don't be foolish. Blanche can wear those things; you couldn't!" "Ia like to try," 1 pouted. 'You admire her immensely, don't you?" "She's a very clever woman. But we were talking of to-morrow night. Scot is a fine fellow, and is rotten with money. 1 want to interest him in this new deal It will mean a killing it I do." . "In what way will it be a killing?" I am almost ashamed to say that 1 questioned Neil with more confi- dence because he had taken another drink, Liquor seemed always to make him talkative. 'I didn't want him to take it, had objected; but so long as he paid no attention, I would try to turn it to advantage. I so wanted to know what Mr. . Freder- icks referred to when Me said others would suffer from Neil's business methods eygn-if he did not. "Why, because he'll take stock, of course--a Big block of it." "But if the imine is worth what you ask, and you had to pay for it, how can you make a killing if "he does buy the stock?" "Oh, 'let's go to bed. You make yourself attractive to him, and let me attend to the rest."
