when first the visitor appeared upon her
threshold.
"Yes, madam" replied Golding, "Dutton
and l have been intimate associates for
many years, ever since the war, in fact"
Mrs. Warren shuddered violently, and put
her hands to her face to stiAe the sobs that
force, but Golding was too intent upon ex-
amining his friend to notice her, and in a
moment she controlled herself.
In the presence of this stranger and his
neighbors, Mr.. Warren had recovered his
self-possesson, although his fingers twitch-
ed when he picked up his lantern and bis
voice uuavered at first.
who is it, Nick?' asked Seth Turner.
His name is Freeman Dutton," respond
ed Mr.. Warren. Il knew him before I
moved to Granite"
How'd the place ketch fire?" inquired
James King.
Il don't know, Jim. I left-that Is, wife
and were coming up the mountain to see
him. We were going to take him to our
house. and we found the place burning up.
Martha brought him out, she got here
first
you'd seen him before, then, and knew
he was here?" continued Seth, with the
pertinacity of all woodsmen seeking in
formation.
Before Mr.. Warren could frame a reply
Golding looked up at the group and cried:
There's been foul play here! Somebody
tried to murder this man"
The villagers were too excited by this an
nouncement to wait, for Mr.. Warren's reply
to Seth's question. They bent over Dutton
in open-mouthed wonder, while Golding fer
a moment stared hard at Mr.. Warren, who
returned his gaze steadily, and nodded his
head.
"You knew Ii, then?'' asked Golding,
huskily.
Mr.. Warren nodded again.
Il he -o;I
Golding did Dot understand this remark,
for he did not know or surmse that Mr..
Warren had been to the cabin before the
present trip.
How was 1T dones inquired King, IN an
aWestruck voice.
"Strangulation mainly" responded Gold
ing. "See this" and he pointed to red
mark upon Dutton's throat, land besides
head that has stunned him. Great Scott!"
He Jumped up SO hastily that Duttons S
| head fell with jolt to the ground, and the
sufferer groaned slightly. Mrs. Warren
| promptly raised his head again.
"If one Of you only had some liquor"
she said, II think we could revive him"
Here's a little" responded Turner, pro-
ducing flask with energy and haste to con-
ceal the embarrassment he felt at confess
ing that he was provided with anything of
the kind, for in Granite 1t was d blemish
upon a mans reputation to be known as a
| drinker. This was no time, however, for
suueamishness, and Turner knew it. Mrs.
Warren took the flask without Comment
and applied it to buttons lips.
Meantime Golding had run toward the
burning cabin as If he would enter it, hut
fine heat and smoke brought him abruptly
to a standstill, when he was yet several
| feet away. His arms raised to his face, he
retreated bit.

his 1 don't need to say that you're well

Thanks" returtfed Golding almost dryly,
and he turned irto the sitting room.
As. Mr.. and Mrs. Warren were making
Dutton comfortable the husband said in
some surprise:
II didn't know he was Catholic"
"He didn't used to be-" she responded.
what makes you think so now?"
He silently pointed to the scapular that
hung about buttons neck.
Poor FreemanI" she said softly after a
moment. II suppose he's been converted.

CHAPTER IV-GOLDING'S DISCLOSURE
Mrs. Warren glanced with reproach and
horror at her husband, but what she felt
she kept otherwise TO herself. for she saw
Golding and the villagers. Mr.. Warren
more than started. when he saw them: he
almost staggered, and his lantern fell to the
ground.
Golding gave HIM curious, but hasty
glance, and then knelt beside Mrs. Warren,
placing one arm under the PROSTATE mans
head and feeling with the other hand for
his heart No..
Hes not dead..', he exclaimed, ''but he's
pretty nearly done for, just the same. Poor
Freeman

Warren with difficulty, her heart oppressed
again by the trouble that had beset her

SURGERY WITHOUT PAIN.
Important Operations Done While
the Patient is Fully Conscious.

Important Operations Done While
the Patient is Fully Conscious.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The meeting of the Philadelphia County
Medical Society last evening was rendered
particularly interesting on account of the
rlesentltion OF paper by Dr. T. Parvin, on
the new method of abolishing the pain of
surgical operations without the necessity of
employing ether or chloroform. This is the
system suggested and practiced by the we'll
known German surgeon, Schleich, who, by
its use. has been able to perform practically
all of the minor and many of the major oper
ations of surgery without the slightest pain
to the patient and without depriv.ng him in
any other way of his consciousness.
By the method of Schlcich there are pre-
rared three solutions of common salt, in
which are dissolved different quantities OF
murate of cocaine ard morphia. The part
10 be operated upon Is thoroughly cleansed
with an antiseptic solution and the surface
brought to a low temperature by spray OF
chloride Of ethyl. Into this area of the skin.
which, by the action of the spray. has been
deprived of all sensation, the salt solution
containing the cocaine and morphine is in
jected by means of a special hypodermic
syringe. numerous punctures being made in
all directions. This renders the deeper
structures insensible to the surgeons knife.
and for a period Oh from twenty minutes TO
half an hour the patient is not conscious. so
far as actual pain is concerned. Of extensive
cutting and sewing.
The rev me thod differs in an important de-
gree from the ordinary employment of hypo-
lermic injections of cocaine. The strength
OF the drug which has been used in the past
is about one part in each twenty-five parts of
the solution, while in the Schleich method
there is often employed a strength of only
in 10,0.n In the former. however, only
few drops of the solution are employed.
while i'll the latter the tissues surrounding
the part to he operated upon are thoroughly
infiltrated with solution. With the small
quantity of the cocaine employed by DIR.
Schleich II is apparent that something more
than cocaine is responsible for the local an
aesthesia SO perfectly obtained. In the opin
ion of Drs Keen, Ashhurst ard Morton, who
discussed the merits of the new system. the
iriiitratio of the tissues with the solution
and the dStenSion and consequent pressure
upon the small nerves We're responsible in d
large measure for the absence of pain when
the inc,sion by the knife is made.
To indicate the manner of employing the
method of Schleich, and 10 show the entire
solution inserted beneath the skin of the
arm and al incision an inch long made and
sewed up before ;he society last evening.
In the discussion 1t was generally conced
cd, both from the results achieved by the
German surgeon and the experiments made
in a number of cases in this city. that de-
cided advance had been made in the field of
anaesthetcS. and that for large number of
operations the inf1ftration method would en-
tirey supersede the general anaesthesia by
ether and chloroform.

Cases Advanced.

Cases have been advanced out of their
places on the calendar Of the Supreme
Court for hearing on the first Monday in
January as follows:
The Southern Pacific Railroad Company
vs. the United States, involving the title
to certain lands in the vicinity of Los An
geles, Cal, and known as the Overlap
cases.
The United States VS.. Samuel Fucker
and William Josephy. This Is a case aris-
ing under section of the customs admin
istrative act of 1890, whereby importers
who make false returns of the value of in
voices consigned to them are liable to the
United States for the full value of the
goods. Suit was brought against Fucker &
Josephy by the United States to recover
the value of certain invoices of artificial
flowers imported by them.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
To Enforce the Law Against Reck.
less Driving.

The constant jeopardy In which the lives
of the people stand through the reckless
ness of careless drivers has instigated a
special watch among the police with a
view of preventing, as much as possible, and
Furnishing these guilty of violation. of this
law. Yesterday Oscar Lee was taken In. He
is colored, ard it is alleged that he was
strongly intoxicated He violated two
branches of the law-that of turning a cor
ner with raptdity unwarrantable, and that
Of reckless driving on the towns highways
When Lee was called to halt by Officer
PaSSan the policeman was told he would
be ridden over If he didn't get out of the
way. Lees arrest followed. There is a
special cry going up from the citizens for
the suppression of careless and reckless
driving within the city limits, and particu-
larly on the crowded streets. There have
been SO many life-destroying accidents and
serious injuries of late received that the
people are rising against the danger, and
insisting on the enforcement of the law
against 1t to the letter.
Badly Cut.
San Francisco Mannarico, an Italian,

The prisoner was finally gotten to the sta

The man had 4 serrated cut on his head
that looked as if il had been inflicted with
a strong-handlei saw blade. small
artery had been severed, and blood flowed
copiously. The man said he had received

stone. The officers did not strike him at all
in the struggle attending his arrest Or.
A. B. ShekellS dressed the mans wounds
and administered other surgical attention.
He Was Wanted.
VIM Levi, alias NIickins was seen trying
in various Places to dispose of pair OF
womens shoes yesterday and he was taken
n on suspicion of having come by them
improperly. When brought to the station
it was found that the fellow was wanted
there for assault and battery, a warrant
having been already issued. He was ac-
ccrdingly held on both charges.
Notes.
Fifty-two new letter and package boxes
with new fastenings have been placed in
town in the old locations. The new lock is
the invention of a policeman.
Mr.. Thomas Bateman, an old citizen, and
one much respected, died yesterday after
noon at his home, on o street near 35th.
