Mayor Phelan's address was heard with
marked attention. Among other things
he said:
~ am pleased to hear from Mr.. Sbar-
boro, the secretary of this new corpora

San Francisco in line with all great

of garbage, which is of very great i'm

cleanliness and health. He saws his is a

To examine Doctor Cooks testimonial
files would make the heart of despond-
ent person leap with Joy and renewed
hope. They show that people afflicted
with all sorts of special diseases have been
cured by him, and made happy. Some
were suffering from ailments of the eye,
ear, nose, throat or brain; some from dis
eases of the heart, lungs, liver. stomach,
kidneys, bladder or urinary organs; some
from acute drains, swellings. structure,
syphilis, blood impurities, varicocele or
hydrocele; some from piles, fstula, rup-
ture, rheumatism or chronic catarrh; some
from the most aggravated forms OF female
complaint.
In the cure of all these diseases Doctor
Cook record is unexcelled, but his private
formula for the secret ailments of men is
regarded by the medical authorities in
general, as we'll as by he himself, as the
crowning glory OF his professional career.

Although Doctor Cook is an exceedingly
Dusy man, he has no substitutes to repre-
sent him in a professional capacity. Every
patient who applies at his office for treat
ment consults Doctor Cook himself, and no
one else. He goes thoroughly into each indi-
vidual case, and carefully follows it through
every stage until the patient is com pletely
cured. This is one among the many
reasons why Doctor Cook always obtains
such happy results.
A large portion of the DOCTOR trea tment
is by mail. He usually desires at least
one personal visit when convenient 10 the
patient, but his system of home treatment
through correspondence is so nearly per-
feet that satisfactory results are always
assured. To those describing their
troubles he sends Tree of charge his new

II look upon these reduction works as

measure their usefulness not by what they

by the successful consum nation of their
undertaking and the fulfillment of their
expectations. Their plan is TO make use

worn out. Two of them appeared to
have swooned where they sat, three
others lay gasping beneath the seats,
but Molas held the tiller by nv side,
and the boatswain still sat upright in
the bow, where he had faced death for
SO many dreadful hours.
Say, lord" he asked. turning his
face that was hollow with suspense and
suffering to speak to me, lean you
row? If so, you take the oar and pull
us to the bank, while Molas steers, for
our arms will work no more?"
Then l struggled from my seat, and
with great efforts, for every move
ment caused me pain, pulled the cut
ter to the bank.
Some Indians appeared belonging to
rancho, orvillage, half q league away,
and, on learning our misfortunes and
to bring us food, having first pointed a
out to us a pool of sweet rain water,
of which we stood in great need, for
our Threats were dry. When they had
been gone nearly an hour women ar
rived from the rancho, bearing with
them baskets laden with tortillas or
meal cakes, frijole beans, roast kid,
and bottle of good aqua ardiente, the
brandy Of this country. On these pro-
visions we fell to thankfully, and be-
fore we had finished our meal the
alcalde, or head man of the village, pre-
sented himself to pay his respects and
to invite us to his house.
Now whispered to Molas, who had
some acquaintance with this man, to
take him apart and discover my rank to
him, and to learn if perchance he had
any tidings of that stranger whom we
came to visit, DIR. Zibalbay. Henodded
and obeyed, and after awhile I rose
and followed him behind some trees,
brotherhood, greeted me with rever-
ence.
II have news, my lord" said Molas.
This man says that he has heard of
the old Indian and his daughter, and
that but this morning one who has
travelled down the river told him that
some five or six days ago they were
both of them seized by Don Pedro Mo-
reno, the father of Don Jose Wonder,
and imprisoned at the hacienda of
Santa Cruz, where, dead or alive, they
remain"
Now l thought awhile, then sending
for Senior James told him what we
had learned.
But what can this villain want to
do with an old Indian and his daugh-
ter?" he asked.
THE senior forgets," said Molas,
that Don Pedro robbed me of the gold
which the doctor gave me, and that in
my folly l told him who it was that
gave it me. Doubtless he thinks to win
the secret of the mine whence it was
dug, and of the mint where it was
stamped with the sign Of the heart.
Also, there is the daughter, whom some
men might value above ali the gold in
Mexico. Now, lord, fear that your
journey is fruitless, since those who be-
come Don Pedros guests are apt to stay
with him forever"
THAT, think, we must take the risl.
of" said the senior.
YES" | answered; "having come so
far to find this stranger we cannot turn
back now. AT least we have lived
through worse dangers than those
which await us at Santa Cruz"

One of the most marked characteris-

one of them that the taboo system vas

death.
