being easy of morals, and longing greatly
for the possession of wives and cattle in
his own land, incontinently consented.
The reason for this leading astray of
the untutored savage may be quickly
seen in the fact that 10 per cent. ON, say
100000 would be fl ,000,and this, with the
amount of the bill, would make f1250-
which, when Mr.. Lowenfeldt came TO
think quietly over the matter, seemed to
be a most outrageou price to pay to
yellow-skinned heather, even for a dou-
ble-skinned dog. and, after due delibera-
tion he decided not to pay it, if he could
find any means Of evading payment.
The shortest and easiest way to do
this was to procure the arrest aud con-
viction of Loo Chai as an | u Il before
the POndo got out, and to this end he
succeeded in bribing All Foo with cash

honor of a sort among heathenS than
among thieves. All Foo gave the plot

tran stones to Loo Chai, who had been
suspecting some friendly action of the
sort. and. with his consent, took them
away with him for greater safety ana

the opening and taking hold of the tail
with the other, he gingerly drew out the
hind quarters of one of those dainnly-
shaped hairless dogs which his country
men mostly affect in the form of fric
assoc.
The covering of the head and shoul-
ders was a fixture, perfectly lifting
and most ingenously contrived mask,
which it had cost Loo Chai some weeks
Of patient labor and the animal like
period of not over-pleasant training to
get and keep in position. But the him
der part was miracle of that inita-
tive ingenuity in which the celestial eX-
cells all other workmen.
The delicate lacing along the back
where the hair of the original owner of
the skin had been thickest, something
after the fashion of an unkempt skye
terrier-was absolutely imperceptible
when closed, and yet the inside of
the skin was lined with marvelously-
contrved pockets, destined for small or
large stones, accordingly as the Unequal
tiles of the animals body or the length
of the hair best afforded concealment.
Loo Chai pointed them all out to the
wondering Jew, with a calm and, in its
way. justi6able pride, and when he had
uttered any articulate sound looked first
at the half-naked dog and then at his
own bandly ly-smiling face and said very
softly:
We'll, Pm!
Loo Chi silently restored the dog to its
original condition of disreptable curdom,
kicked it onto the floor with motion
of his knee, and said quietly:

great leaping strides in pursuit of the

a few whiskies and sodas with some
friends, and was just bidding them
goodby to go and see about some impor-
ant business, when he happened to
look across the street and saw a we'll

Ali who are afflicted with
Scrofula, Eczema, letter,
Cancer, Carbuncles, Rheumatism,
Contagious Blood Poison,
Catarrh, or any other form of blood
troubles, will find in S. S. S. prompt
and permanent cure; it matters not
how deep seated the disease, or what
other treatment has failed. Carbuncles
are the result of an impoverished con-
dition of the blood, causing depressed
vitality and such low state of health
that it is difficult for the system to with.
stand even the mildest illness.
Mr.. Joseph c. Mygatt, of No. 400 Han
cock Ave, Athens, Ga, says: I" I con-
tracted blood poison from dye, which
developed such alarming symptoms,
that my life was almost despaired of.
AT one time there were fourteen car
buncles on my body, and my suffering
was such that for months was unable
to do any work. The best physician
in our city treated me constantly, but
his efforts were of no avail, my condi-
ton growing worse all the while.
SIS. S. S. was recommended, and after
I had taken the first bottle, an inn
provement was noticed grew better
every day, and after taking six bottles
I was entirely cured. The carbunc1es
all disappeared, leaving my skin per-
fectly clear, and have never had one
since"
There is not a disease of the blood,
it matters not how severe, which S.
S. S. will not cure. 1t is guaranteed
