It builds up and strengthens weak, puny, underweight children, make them eat heartily, brings tbe roses bnck to their cheeks, makes them playful, energetic, full of life.

It starts lazy bowels quick, cleans them out thoroughly, tones and strengthen them so tney continue to act normally, of their own accord. Millions of mothers know about California Fig Syrup from experience. A Western mother, Mrs, J. G. Moore, 119 Cliff Ave., San Antonio, Texas, snys: "California Fig Syrup Is cer-tainly all that' claimed for it I have proved that with my little Doro-thy. She was a bottle baby and very delicate. Her bowels were weak. I started her on Fig Syrup when she was a few months old and It regu lnted her, quick.

Thla will bo the celebration of all holiday! except Christmas on Monday. Every one knows how the fixture of Labor day on Monday Increases travel and the Indulgence- - la sports. Whenever the Fourth of July, Me-morial diiy, Columbus day or any other holiday happens to fall on Monday, the same phenomenon occurs. 1'ntrlotlsm and sentiment would suffer no Injury If these holiday! were always celebrated on the nearest Mon-day; production would bait less thaa It does now when a holiday falls to the middle of the week ; but consump-tion would be powerfully stimulated.

In a short while tbey were all gone snd she was alone attain with Eddy. The bouse was very still. She stood In the center of tbe room and stared "Well. I wasn't at all sure It was right." she confessed ruefully. "1 al-ways felt ashamed hecuuse tbe people said such kind things In their letters, and I knew ibey were being fooled.

It might be a ruse but It did not seem t be ruse. "See tere, there's Bo mistake, I there? Tou are B. Tolllver, aren't you? Tou do claim to be tbe treasurer of the parsonage home for tbe blind?"

Ginger's hand gripped his shoulder, lie held her close In bis arms, moved his lips gently across her wet cheek, pressed them npnp the tamp curls that clustered at her temple. The slender little figure grew suddenly tense In his arms, her hand clung to his shoulder. After long still mo-ment she drew away from him. slow-ly, and looked at him mistily, with troubled eyes, whose tesrs seemed lost la wonder. Eddy did not flinch be-fore iliat wide-eye-d questioning gase. Firmly be patted away the last of her fears, and then, almost defiantly, before ber very eyes, he leaned toward her, kissed ber again. She did not protest When he released her. she lay limply In his arm. her face close to his face, and stared as one spellbound that old. familiar fnce. which seemed suddenly very new and strange beautiful to ber. "Mke me. Ginger?" he asked gently. Ginger's answer was a startled lerky bob of her head. A half-smil- e quiv-ered to her Hps, to be quickly ban-ished hy the strange wide look of wonder. - "Why?" he Insisted. "Because I'm like your father?' Her hand tightened Its grip on his shoulder. Her cheek pressed his "You you're not Just like my fa-ther,", she whispered. "Ginger, you darling you dear little darling" No word of protest from Ginger. His hands caressed her. His Hp sought the curve of ber slender throat. "I know you bate to be pawed" "Oh. Eddy,? she Interrupted Indig-nantly, "you dont paw. You're not that kind."

She threw herself among the cushions In cor ner of the couch, and sobbed as though ber heart would break. CHAPTER XIII A shamed and huddled heap.

'Don't cry. Ginger. It Isn t so bad they'll fix It up all right, aud no one will ever know. Your fniher will Just have to assure your good .conduct In the future that's all Don't cry." Ulncei was uot to be comforted Her beautiful dream wus deud nay, had been ruthlessly murdered, choked by coarse hands, crushed by a heavy heel. All that she had hoped for. planned for, worked for. bad come to naught -- "It was so beautiful," she sobbed "It wus Just beautiful while Ii lasted. And now II Is only ridiculous." "Oh. no. Ginger.- - Nothing can be ridiculous that Is done Id love," he said wisely. She squirmed uncomfortably. "Ob. I did It In love." the admitted, "but I was pretty stuck on myself for doing It Just the same I was awfully hipped on myself I thought I was pretty smart nil right' "Well, It was smart In a way," he nld carefully. "Of course. It wus wrong, too In way. Ii really was false pretenses and using the malls to defraud, and all that. But you didn't know It was wrung." But Ginger was not willing to be lifted ever so little from the depths " of ber - so muny exigencies, his unfailing hu mor. his untiring Interest.

Ginger' feet were pounding down the stairs aguln, and they awaited ber coming in alienee. She crossed tbe room and stood before the lnseclor . slim and slight, but wltb straight shoulders, as one willing to bear tbe burden ot her wrongdoing. "Here!" Into the hands ot the as tonlshed Inspector she pressed an old doll's trunk, and It was heavy "It s the rest ol the dimes," she explained "I don't know where ihey came from 1 burned the little while ai;gels 1 mean the letters.
