DEAR DR. FAHRNEY CHICAGO, ILL:
The wonderful effect of your remedy,
The Blood Vitalizer. cannot be described in
words. Since acting as your agent and In
Producing the medicine among the people, l
have been repaid thousand times, by learn
ing how much good has been done.
Were / to go into minute details in relat-
ing my experience with your medicine, you
would hardly find time to read it. That
have disposed of five and six dozen bottles
a week is well-known to you. Wonderful
cures have been brought about in my family
and among my friends. Through the proper
use of your medicine, La Grippe, Rheuma-
;ism, Liver Complaint, Heartburn, cramps
in the stomach, and all stomach ailments
have been cured-eren blood poisoning has
been prevented in the case of our grand
child, who was stuns by a poisonous spider.

the Blood Vitalizer as a preventive for blood
poisoning.
At another time our married daughter,

melancholy and foTgetfulness. Cortez'S

yuma intercedes for the Spaniards, and is
fatally wounded by his own people.

CHAPTER XIII.
Tho Dan,,ito1

Three days and nights passed with
out finding us able to surprise or dis
lodge the demon who was in posses
sion Of the cabin; without our knowing
where the ship was driving or drift
ing to, and without sail appearing.
A man-of-war belonging to any coun-
try we should have hailed as pro-
tector; but on the wide waters of the
Southern Atlantic ships are few and
far between.
Hyslop rallied a little and was re-
moved into one Of the forecastle berths.
He could tell us only that he had been
surprised when asleep, and had been
stabbed again and again-that he be-
came insensible and remembered moth
ing more. His distress was great when
we related the story OF the captains
fate, the death of VIII White, and that
their destroyer was still in possession
of the ship and the arbiter OF all our
lives.
He writhed on his bed Of pain and
srNhtd bitterly on finding how stif and
sore, how weak and almost blind he
had become by loss Of blood; but q

then will the smaller fry begin TO
awaken TO the real situation and seek
the proper and only remedy As pow
erty and excessive toll have been
brought upon the masses by scheming
milliouaires, so will relief finally be
suggested and pointed out by these
same capitalists. When rascals war
among themselves, then will the truth
appear AS the game goes on Of the
great fnanciers devouring the little
ones, these smaller capitalists will
eventually find community Of inter
est with the real wealth producers In
staying tho present robber system.
The final dissolution Of private trusts
will come through revolt among the
members OF trustS who have been fro
zen out, and are, through the greed OF
the larger ones, no longer permitted to
participate in the nefarious gains.
1t is in this feature Of the trust sit
uation that labor may see hope. 1t is
along this path that true progress will
be made aud the pernlcious trust OF
trusts for the benefit Of few will be
transformed into gigantic national
trust for the benefit Of all.
The Goulds and Vanderbllts consol-
idate railroads, the Rocltfellers consol-
idate railroads with the iron and oil
industries Tho Morgans consolidate
railroads, iron, oil and coal interests.
A few more strides along this line and
the great work Is done. Water trans
portation comes next into the great
combine and then the shipbuilding
concerns, the dealers in fuel, food and
clothing.
As one after another joins the select
circle it becomes more apparent that
no real producer no toiler can gain u
passport to the charmed circle. In
each instance 1t is the dealer and not
the maker who rushes TO the front.
The producers in any industry attempt
to organize and the dealers in their
products quiclsly organize to head
them off.

will quickly combine to handle the

The basis Of the compensation paid
the railroads for transporting the
mails is weighing Of them for thirty
days on each route The average
weight for these thirty days settles
the Communication to be paid that ronte
for four years This arrangement Is
monument Of ingenuity to favor the
railroads. 1t opens wide the door Of
temptation to two swindles. First to
stuff the mails" during the thirty
days Of weighing, so as to make the
Communication price for four years as
far above the real average as possible.
The weighing Of the mails has been
subject for reproach and ridicule all
along. The post'ofiice is paying trans
portation on hundreds Of tons day
that are NOT carried. II one-third OF
the weights paid for were eliminated,
tho deficit of 9,OOO,O 900 would be ex-
tinguiished. What the proportion OF
"stuff" in the weighing actually Is an
outsider can only guess. Then, the
Communication being set for four years,
the other part Of the swindle comes in
play. That is, to give lower prices
outside the mails than the post-ofllce
pays, and so get second payment on
tons the Communication already pays for.
The railroads carried in 1897 over $780,
900, 900 tons Of freight. IpreSume the
express matter, which the railroads
claim is not counted In as freight,
foots up many more tons than the
mails II the weighing Of this vast
quantity of tonnage can be so fairly
done that no scandal about 1t reaches
tho public ear, certainly the mails also
can be weighed daily as they are actu'
ally received, and the temptation to
stuffing removed.

speaks rough energetic, bastard Chi

the same relation to literary CHI

With deadly tenacity. for he know that
II once he was fairly launched into
the ocean his fate would be sealed.
His face was pale with combined fear
and fury his black eyes blazed with
the fre OF hatred; the persplratlon
oozed In drops from his temples. Tom
Lambourno gprang forward 10 beat on
his iingers; but at that moment the
boom, a slender spar, broke from It's
lashings alongside, and swung out at
a right angle from the brig, with the
wretch at the extreme end OF 1t, dang
ling over the waves, like a herring at
the point OF ramrod.
Again and again he wrlthed his body
upward In wild struggles to get astrlde
the boom, or TO reach It with his
knees, but In yaln
Instead OF exciting pity his terrible
situation drew forth a shout of de-
riaion, mingled with expressions Of ha-
tired and satisfaction, from the line
OF avenglng faces that surveyed him
over the bulwArk. He hung thus for
fully ave minutes, for he was n power
ful man, Of great strength, muscle and
bulk.
l have no doubt this man was as
brave as II Is possible for a rutIian to
be; but the prospect of an immediate
death-a death, too, from which there
was no escape-terrlfled him.
His glance Of hate toward us turned
to one OF wild and earnest entreaty.
"Mercyl--pardon!-ln the name and
for the love OF the Almighty" he ex-
claimed In Spanish, In tone of In
tense earnestness; but he was heard by
us with fierce derislon In that moment
of just triumph and too long delayed
vengeance.
Twice the Eugenie gave lee lurch,
and each time the feet and knees OF tho
wretched Cubano were immersed In the
waves.
Beneath him was the abyss of wa
ter that rushed past the side of the
brig He painted rather than breathed,
and through the dusk we could see how
his aching hands turned white as his
face, and that the points of his fingers
were blood-red. His eyes grew Wild
and haggard as terror chilled his cow
ard heart and agonlzed his soul; and
yet through the surge the feet craft
few onl
Every moment increased the weight
Of his body and the weakness of his
hands and wrists.
At last 1t was evident that his pow
era Of endurance could be no longer
taxed; he uttered half-smothered
shrek, and closed his eyes as he clung
to that slender spar, and It swayed to
and fro while the close-hauled brig
few on!
The iron hook In the bulwark on
which the studding-sail boom was
hung gave way under the double
weight OF the spar and OF his body
There was shrill cry Of despair, like
the parting shrek Of an evil spirit,
or the sklrl Of the gusty blast, as the
boom, and the wretch who clung to 1t
In blind desperation, vanished into the
black trough Of the sea, and, like
cork or reed, were swept amid the
salt foam to leeward.
The Eugenle rose like duck upon
the water and, as II freed at that
moment from load OF crime, seemed
to fly forward with increased speed.
Twas night now, and the ship
which we had first seen upon our
weather bow was q mile astern and 10
leeward OF us.
