There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actuul dis ease, hut simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syiupof Figs, prompt ly removes.

[ ..llllilKllllIgTTI* 1 lave you ever strolled In the quaint old city of Han Antonio to where the river cut* like a steel knife blade, through the hills? It runs In the rlfi bat ween the hills, ns If nature had carved Its course In the dark, and tangled It all tip, like a silver-blue rib bon In the forest of niesqiiite fringe. Have you ever followed Its winding and looked upon the haunted house standing high above the river's brim, and see, dark upon Its mouldering walls, the print of a bloody hand? No? Then I will tell you the story; it happened many year/ ago. • * * • * * It was New Year's eve, n raw wind swept through the clefts between the bills and dashed the spray of the San Antonio river In a monotonous swish ugalnst the steep, overhanging bank. What with the rush of the wind through the trees and the beat of the turbulent waves, minor sounds were swallowed up In a general discord of nature. On the bridge siainnlng the river stood Francesco Pltro and Juan Tus ca, their sontbreos drawn low over their faces, their throats muffled to keep off the cutting wind. IMtro dashed bis hand aginst the bridge rail. "I tell you. Juan,” he cried. "If Itas dial (Julto were not the old miser’s only heir, he should marry my daugh ter. A proud, la/.y trifling—'" IMtro caught his breath sharply us the sound of a cry, shrill and far away Moated down the river. ••What Is that?” he suld, grasping Tuscu's arm; ‘‘some one cried ns If— ns if In death agony.” I MJM ll- Uil'n inn iiniiiM-i out' far. "I hear nothing,” he said. “It was the cry of n Jaguar you hoard, no doubt. You ore excited enough to hear anything.” "Per Imps,” assented l’ltro; “yet something in the cry I recognized.” 'fawn moved forward "You were talking of young Quito,” he reminded. "Yes, the hoy Is wild — apparently trilling hut there Is an ele ment of good about him. The way the old uncle of his treats him Is enough to drive the energy out of any spirited young fellow; lu? has never had a chance to show wliat Is In hint, good or bod. Now, there was the tlmo—'” "I want to hear no praise of a Qui to,” Interrupted I’ltro, harshly. "Here j my daughter might have made a line i match with Honor Itoeeu; true, a little i old for so lovely a girl, hut a man of standing, of wealth! Yet! what can I say! Who knows what sums of gold that old man Quito has hidden? One cannot overlook that. And when Mo nitu throws her arms alxmt my neck 1 and vows that she will marry no ono I hut Raschal, only Itnsebal, what can | I say? Hhe Is my only one, my little , Mouita.”’ "No fairer, sweeter child ever I blessed a father’s home,” added Tas ca. They were over the bridge now. and neurlug I’ltro’s homo. From a different direction—u ho may Just say when? -a tall young figure had Just left that home. “(food night, Monlta. mla,” he had said, folding his beautiful young flun eee In his arms; "you will not have long to wait. If my unde will not sup I port me In decency, nor allow me to support myself, we will marry any how. I have a plan, and 1 will not tarry long in accomplishing It.” Alonlta’s soft, dark eyes flashed a love-light up Into his face; her red lip* dosed like a rosebud for a kiss. “I will never marry any one but j you,” she cried; “‘it is only you 1 love.” With these words ringing In his ears i Paschal drew his cloak around him ■ and disappeared In the gloom of the ; mesquire gnaaovvs. Sonic distance down the river Miser j Quito, as he was called, sat muttering lu his home. The tire was bright that i warmed him; he did not have to s|)cnd I money for fuel; the room was com I fortable; Ills family had been vvcll-to ; do; all they bad left was Ills, j “Why does that wretched l»oy stay j out lateV” ho muttered. “Always anx I lous to leave me, when any one might come to thla lonely place and rob me. Always anxious to work for bis liv ing pah! As If 1 could bust n hire ling to protect me ns Haschal’s pres ence does. Ah. 1 will make him suffer i for this delay, wretch that he is to leave me thus alone!" A heavy step sounded on the stair outside; the door was pushed open as tho old man unbolted It, and a tall, cloaked figure stepped into the room. What followed tinting a bitter alter cation belated passersliy who heard j the raised voices could not say. Was not Miser Quito forever quarreling with ItsschalV And now that be had forbidden liss<iinl tv* marry, was not the quarrelling likely to Is* worst* titan ever. M was lu the gray light of New Year's morning that Marco, the wood i cutler looked up as he passed Miser 1 Quito's house and saw the ptiul of a bloody hand on Ihe wall beside the ikior.

Montta lay sleeping through the enrly morning hours, the fringe of tier long lashes lay on (lie rounded (lush of her cheeks, and blotted out that crlms*® hued shadow that had (alien upon her life. Of all KunAntonlo she was the only one who did not go to look at the print of the crimes hand. Of all San An tonin Tasea was the only man who could not see that the contour of the red palm and blood-dripping lingers was that of Uasehal Quito. The next dr., Miser Quito was burled In Ills own grounds, for no money could Is found for burial ebewhere. and the expense that the town went to was paid out of the sale of some of his handsome effects. They were sold at a mere trllle, for. the people said. "Ita< chal well never come back to be hanged," and they did not serupple t<> make good such a chance for ae pairing the heirlooms of the Quito family, liotlgh Miser Quito's iivcrb-e had not left any too many for sale. The limit for Kasehol was a sava# one, hut fruitlessly, and finally li was abandoned. "lie must have drowned himself,” the people said; "perhaps when the river Is low In the fall we may find his bones/' "You remember that cry?" asked Pitro of Tasea; "at llrst I thought li was old man Quito’s voice; now l knew It was that of Knscha! as he plunged Into the river." “Perhaps,” assented Tasea. The miser's house was locked, and time wore on until the wild flowers of Texas made a covering of blue and gold over Miser Quito's grave, and the mark of the crimson hand grew less vivid In hue. Monlta clung to the belief that Hns chal was Innocent; that lie would send for her some day when It whs safe to do so, and she never questioned her Intent to go when tin* time came. Tas ea alone learned her belief, and it was wonderful how*, after Tasea hud as sured bcr that It was also his own, sin bloomed again Into tin* lovely, merry maiden sin* had been before this tragedy had swept across her life. The roses came hack to her elieeks and she no longer refused to see her ! friends. Itnishe grew <|iilet and staid ns year after year went by without a sign from Kascbal; and all San An tonlo was talking about the sound of loud voices t ha I were heard after nightfall in the Quito house, and every New Year's eve along the course of tlie river there rang a iimllled ery. which chilled the blood in the veins of the hearers and hastened them away from the dark, haunted stream. Time never hushed these cries, years never wiped away the Imprint of "that scarlet hand I stable the door, nor turned the love of beautiful Monita into another channel. It was nearing Christmas one day. and us they tiled into the open door of Sun Fernando a man waiting beside It stepped forward at the upproach of Juan Tasca and said; “You are Sheriff Tasca V Tasca nodded. “Then you are wanted at once to take tlic deposition of a dying man." “That is not my business," began Tusou. “No mutter,” urged the latter; "he | says you are the only friend Raschal yijjto had, and-” l “I will come cried Tasca, growing white at the sudden thought of Itas ! chal wiliin reach, living—dying! lie hurried the man on his way till ho paused at the door of a ranchman's house on the outskirts of the town.

"Here?” crl«d Tasca, as he followed | his guide into the house. ‘•Y'cs, here,” answered the man, ush ering him into Van Melstur’s bedroom, and pointing to his dying form upon the bed. The shook of seeing the unexpected 1 rendered Tasca dumb. “I am dying," moaned Van Melster; "I must confess. The priest has shrived me—but you are Raschal's ouly friend—l murdered the uncle. He does not know it." “What!” yelled Tasca, with a tiger , like spring toward the tied. X HI; UJ HIK lint 11 rtiiuuin. “Yes, I murdered him, but I never 1 meant to.

A recent writer on (lie care of this Important factor says: "It' iisl'lng Is a sure means of beautify ing the hair. Jirnsli not one minufc, 1 but ten; not once a day, but several times each day. Two brushes are In dispensable, one for the rough use of cleaning the hair, and the other for pol ishing It. Use a black brush for the , former purpose, and a white one for ilm latter. Washing in soap and water spot's brushes. The way to clean them is lo rub them thoroughly with bran. which ... all the grease and leaves them stiff and linn as ever. When the bristles of n brush become j too limber for use, they can be renewed again by dipping them Into a liquid composed of one part spirits of ammo- ] nia i ml two parts of water. This will ; also cleanse from all greasy sub- j (•lui.nr." It must be confessed that \ for the ordinary young woman these j Instructions are a bit formidable. If ! . she Is to brush her hair for ten minutes j at u time, anil several times a day, It mejn.i that she must give thirty, forty or llflj minutes dally to tills task. There are few who can devote an hour , each day to finishing the hair—or even half an hour. Yet It Is a most helpful treatment, and If followed faithfully for even a few minutes each day the result will prove most gratifying . riiurlr* 1.11 mIt's Love of the Antique.

There was a touch of this strangeness In Charles l.ainb.
