character might have asked
whether all there was in that
eye could live contented with
tins COO, ,austere, self-contained
life; whether there would not be
somewhere a volcanic eruption.
But if there was any sea of mol
ten lava beneath, the world
did not discover 1t. Wild boys
were sick OF having Small held
up to them as the most immac-
ulate Of men.
Ralph had failed to get Two
schools for which he had ap-
piled, and had attributed both
failures 10 certain shrugs Of
DR.. Small. and now, when he
found Small at the house Of
Granny Sanders, the center OF
intelligence as wei! as OF Ig-
norance for the nelghborhood,
he trembled. Not that Small
would say anything. He never
said anything. He damned peo-
pie by a silence worse than
words.
Granny Sanders was not a
little flattered by the visit.
"Why, doctor, howdy, how.
dyl Come in, take a seat. |
am glad to see you. l flowed
you'd come Old DR.. Founder
used to say he larnt lots O.
things of me. But most of the
doctors sence hez been kinder
stuck up, you know. But |
know'd you fer a man of intelli-
gence."
Meantime, Small, by his
grave silence and attention had
covered the old hag with fat
terry without saying one single
, word.
"Many's the case I've cured
with YARDS and things. Nigh
upon twenty year. ago they was
a man lived over on Wild Cat

man was goin' to die. Every.
body seed that. And they
come a driving away over here
all the way from Wild Cat.

so flustsred. But as soon as |
laid eyes on that air man,

black cat, and let the blood run
all over the swellin'. tell you
doctor they's nothing like it.
That man was we'll in a month
'Did you use the blood
warmp asked Small with a sol.
emnitv most edifying.
These were the only words he
had uttered since he entered
the cabin.
,, "Laws, yes; | jest let it run
right out of the cats tail onto
the breakin' out. For airesip
elias, l don't know nothin' SO
good as the blood of a black

"There you showed yer sci

drank his glass Of water, hav-

he ceased to stimulate her

vein of gossip. Once started,
Granny Sanders was sure to al

on the robbery the doctors way
was clear.
~ low somebody not fur
away is in this ere business p
Not by a word, nor even by
a nod, but by some motion Of
the eyelids, perhaps, Small in
dicated that he agreed with
her.
SWho dye spose it's"
But DR.. Small was not in the
habit of supposlng. He moved
his head In a quiet way, just
the least perceptible Bit but so
that the old creature under
stood that he could give light
if he wanted to.
81 dunno anybody that's been
bout here long as could be suS-
pected."
Adother motion of the eye
lids indicated Small'S agree
ment with this remark.
"They amt nobody come in
here lately 'ceppin' the master" "
Small looked vacantly at the
wall.
"But l low he's always bore
a tp-top character"
The doctor was too busy
looking at his bread to an
swer this remark, even by look
"But | think these over
smart young men'll bear look
ing arter, l do"
DR.. Small raised his eyes and
let them shine an assent. That
was all.
"Shouldn't wonder eff our
master was overly fond Of gals"
Doctor looks down at his
plate.
"Had plenty of sweethearts
sfore he walked home with
Hammer Thomson t'other night,

Did DR.. Small shrug his
shoulder9 Granny thought she
detected a faint motion of the
sort, but she could not be sure.
"And | think as how that a
feller what trihes with gals

miles, maybe amt no better'n

To this general remark DR..

ly, and having taken his hat
and bowed a solemn and re-
spectful adieu, he departed.
He had not spoken twenty
words, but he had satisfied the
newsmonger of Flat Greek that
Ralph was a bad character at
hume, and worthy OF the sus-
picion of the burglary.

"OUR CLIMATE. of course every
one knows that we have the most de-
lightful climate in the world in Cal
ifornia, and especially in San Fran
cisco. Its variety isendless. Spring,
Summer, Autumn, and Winter come
and go within "a hours; we have
broiling hot days at Christmas time,
and white frosts in July. Scientific
men claim that there is larger pro-
portion of ozone in the atmosphere at
San Francisco than almost anywhere
else in the world. This may be
gratifying when We learn that ozone
is a remedy for cholera, gout, rheu
matism, and other diseases, and is a
life giving principle, but it is undeni
able that its existence in excess in
the atmosphere of San Francisco adds
considerably to the expenses OF the
tippler. In consequence of the
preponderence of ozone San Francis
co is the hardest city in the world to
get tight in. A man may take twenty
or thirty square drinks of good whis-
ky in the course of an afternoon but
still he is not tight, the ozone keeps
him sober. The whisky in many
cases never makes the drinker really
tight, it does not upset his brain at
night and then pass off with nights
sleep, it sticks in the system and
works away at the organic structure
until the tippler is boxed up tight in
his coffin. That's because there is
so much ozone in the atmosphere.

THE WRECkERS.


The Pacific Coast Wrecking Co.,
some time during the last year filed
articles of incorporation in the office
of the Clerk of the County Court
Little notice was taken of the scheme
at that time, for the memory of Cocos
Island was fresh in minds of the
people, and such enterprises We're
looked upon with much distrust.
Lately. however. the gentlemen who
incorporated the project have given
proofs of what they intend to do, and
signs of how they intend to do it.
The plans look feasible. the treasure
is decidedly no myth. and success
seems likely to attend their labors.
The object Of the expedition which is
being fitted out is to wreck the Span
ish frigate LeOcadia, at Point Santa
Elena. on the coast of Ecuador. The
Leocadia, had been sent by the Span
ish Government about the year 1902
to the Spanish possessions on the
Pacific coast to collect its tribute
money, or ''tifths. as it was termed.
After making very large collections,
amounting, it is said, by the official
records. to between four and five
millions, the vessel arrived at Callao.
After sailing from there about ten
days. on her way to Panama, she
struck on the southerly side of Point
Santa Elena, Ecuador, and the wreck
now lies directly in the track of navl- !
cation from CallaO to Panama, within
six hundred feet of the shore, in two
and q half fathoms OF water, fastened |
securely on reef. The Spanish |
Government recovered about $780,
600 of the treasure. and the natives
of the coast obtained about S10U, 900 !
more. The company. through super
intendent Captain Judah Parker, who
visited the spot whore the frigate lies,
and who thoroughly examined the
feasibility of wrecking her, upon
which he reports favorable, secured
from the Eepublic of Ecuador a
grant in which 1t is stipulated that
the Government IS to receive one fifth
OF whatever moneys are recovered.
This contract has been accepted and
no trouble can be apprehended on
the score of interference. The
steam schooner, Mary Taylor, will
leave this port on the 1th of Feb .
nary, provided with the most-com-
olete set of wreckinG tools, and com ,
mence work Immediately on her arri
val at the spot. Her tools are of the
same make as those which are used
With great success in recovering the
reasure of i'll fated Golden Gate
The officers of the expedition are :
Captain Judah Parker; Second Off
;er, Z \ sherman; Chief Diver,
Jacob Palmer: two assistant divers;
Engineers. James Marshall and c
edward Purcell; Purser. The total
Expense of fitting ont will cost be-
ween thirty and forty thousand dol
more.

attempts he was never known to ride
the winning horse. On one occasion
his old mother was induced to go to !

some accident this day his horse
won the race. ''Arrah!' she ex-
claimed, "it's well that l came. Sure !
