In the pilot-house OF the Wanderer the
superintendent, Swainley jameson, Baxter
and one or two others were looking ahead
into the night discussing the chances OF
catching Peterman. Undoubtedly he
would not suspect being chased, and II
was possible that one of the fire boats,
or perhaps the police boat, Patrol, would
return TO the Battery station and go al
ter the Refuge before the Wanderer could
round the long elbow of city front which
lies between ackwelPs Island and Brook-
lyn bridge. That would be so much gain
ed but it could not be counted on. Swain
ley repeated all he could remember Of his
conversation with Peterman, and the
cew thus furnished brist,ed with grisly
uncertainties. The amelioration of the
idiot! How did Peterman purpose 70 ac-
compHsh it? The men exhausted the
proba bilities and the possibilities of the
situation a dozen times over while the

THE TOUCH OF OBLIVION.


The Junior medical staff Of the Ran.
dan's Island Hospital sat in Swainley's
room discussing the eccentricites of
Peterman. Peterman was a thlck-nosed,
intense-eyed student in whom men saw
much or nothing, according to the point
of view. He possessed little OF that
sense of ofhand comradeship which
counts for so much in governmental in
stitntions, yet his colleagues always
treated him with consideration in a GER
tain expectant way. They were con-
stantly on the lookout for his latent
singularities. and they talked much Of
him behind his back

on the lowest bench at clinic, staring

Renley why, some of those ethical

A Remedy for the Cure of Piles
Which Has Met with Remarkable
Success.

There are many popular medicines that
are known in every household in America.
There are blood purifiers, nerve tonics,
headache powders. dyspepsia cures and
cough cures which are sold in every drug
store.
But all of these must divide popularity
with many rivals, no one remedy has the
field to itself, with the single exception of
pile cures for it is a singular fact, that
among the host of remedies there Is but
one pile cure that can be cons dered as
having a national reputation, without
rival and the remedy referred to is the
Pyramid Pie Cure, which for seven years
has steadily worked into public favor by
reason OF its extraordinary merit and a
method and a record of remarka BILE cures
until it Is known from Maine to Califor-
MIA and from Manitoba to the Gulf of
Mexico.
II is true there are many pile remedies
having a small local reputation for year

rapidly supplanted them all and really

The Wanderer luckily was lying with
good fires at her New York dock and
almost before the superintendent ceased
talking she had cast off and started d.
agonally across the channel to Randalps
Island While she was coming, the SUI
perintendent called up the port wardens
and learned that the Refuge had not p Ass-

gone south. Renley stayed on duty in
case of night call, but the rest went
down to the dock to board the steamer.
Two male nurses were taken along to be
of use In case the chase was successful
on the way to the dock they met the
pilot and the engineer of the Refuge. The
men were much mystified and excited over
the absence of the boat. What the su-

ner of the saying decreased their mysti-
ucation, but II added greatly to their
excitement They were taken in tow.
