A HAPPY CHILD

is one who grows, without in
terruption of health, from a
baby up-except the inevitable
diseases of children.
And SCOTS emulsion of cod
liver oil has done more, in the
26 years of its existence, than
any half-dozen other things, to
make such children.
Itkeeps them in uninterrupt-

THE SMYRNA TIMES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JULY g. 1902

OI dollars In treasure was secreted nv
natives during the mutihy. and in no
instance was a storehouse ever bo-
nayeu 10 the British. The natives
either entered into possession or kent
the secret. Wine had loosened the
commissioners tongue, and in con.
Tempt for his 'nigger' he made no So
fret OF his hopes and intentions. A
word or two of warning was of no
aVall. The native was abiect and ser.
we to a contemplate degree, and the
ldea OF his crossing his masters path
was not to be dreamed of.
During the next two weeks the tiger
Killed another officer and two heaters
ana then of sudden he was to be seen
no more. The ruins were beaten I'm
half dozen times in vain. This left
the commissioner free to work his plan.
Two days later, accompanied by two
OF his civil employees, the commission
er proceeded to the ruins. His visit
though intended to be secret. had To he
made by daylight In the middle Of
the ruins, where the blocks We're niIad
the highest and the tangle was tbe
greatest he uncovered a cave. Strictly
speaking, it had uncovered itself by
the sliding down of block of stone.
but of all the people who had wan
dered over the ruins none had noticed
1t. There was every evidence that the
tiger had made this spot his lair. but
ON the floor was a strong box which
had been battered open, while scat
tered about were half a dozen gems.
Some one had discovered and borne
away the rajah's treasure. Who that
some one was the commissioner soon
discovered. AS he was making his way
out of the ruins he came across the
dead body of his eavesdrOpping serv-
ant and not far away the blOated car
cass of the tiger. The beast was truly
the largest of his species, and his enor-
nous teeth and claws were in good
working order. Beside the corpse of
| the servant was a leather bag, but it
was torn and empty. The man had
started to carry the gems away. but
the tiger still lurking in the ruins, had
! sprung upon and killed him. And yet
how came the beast dead? Where had
the gems gone?
The commissioner raised no alarm,
| but upon his return he related the par
| ticulars to few intimate friends. 1t
was queer talk, and as a matter of fact
his friends began to believe the man
daft or joking. Nevertheless they sug-
gested that the tiger must have swal-
lowed the treasure, which had proved
too much for him. He received the re
marks in earnest, and, sure enough,
they did solve the mystery. 1t was not
to his benefit, however, nor TO that of
the government. Next day he returned
to the ruins to find that the carcass of
the tiger had been dissected. One sin
gle ruby had been left in the stomach,
and only one. There must have been
more than one native in the plot but
their identity has never been discov-
cred. Only those who turned them into
cash can tell, but doubtless it was
thousands and thousands of dollars.
Perhaps some of the rarest stones to
be found in England. France or Amer
lea today came from that collection.

THE JEWELS
OF INDORE
BY PETTIGREW EDGAR
Copyright, 1901, by P. Edgar
BY PETTIGREW

The city of IndOre lies in the central
province of India, ON the northern side
of the Vindya mountains, and distant
from Bombay about 800 miles. Among
the foothills of the mountains are the
ruins Of what was once the largest
temple in India. These ruins were
known to and visited by British SOL
diers long before the great mutiny. but
it was not until about the year 1850.
when the English had firm grin on
the country again, that vague rumors
of hidden treasure became known.
How it started no one could recall. but
it was generally believed that a raiah
had secreted a vast store of gems in
the ruins during the mutiny. AS he
was among the slain the gems still Law
hidden where his own hands had
placed them.
year after the mutiny had been
quelled the government sent out a
, searching party after this wealth, but
after spending a month among the
ruins it gave up the quest. Then proc
lamatiOn was made offering half to the
finder, but no one came forward. Still
later syndicate was formed to prose
cute the search, and a large sum of
money was spent without satisfactory
results. Every English officer stationed
at Indore had dreams of this treasure,
said to be worth at least S4,0OO,OOO,
and occasionally one got leave of alb
sence only to spend weeks in the
search. 1t was worse than looking for
a needle in a haystack. About five
acres of debris were to be overhauled.
In some places the great stone blocks
were piled twenty feet high and over
grown with vines and bushes, and the
smallest of them could not be moved
without the strength of three or four
men. 1t was a rare hiding place.
whether the gems had been secreted in
an underground chamber or only drop
ped into an interstice between two
blocks.
In the year 1871 there was a fresh
story out about the ruins. For years
and years no tiger had been seen in

Fortune telling by means of the fin

practice was to rub the nails with oil
and SCOT or wax and to hold up the
mans thus prepared against the sun,
and upon the transparent horny sub
stance were supposed to appear figures
or characters which gave the answer
required. In more recent times peo-

means of the nails of the fingers and
telling the dispositions of persons with
certain descriptions of the nails.

one was now reported. He had been
seen on the outskirts Of the ruins by
natives and soldiers alike. 1t was
whispered among the natives that tine
spirit of the dead rajah. fearing that
the treasure would at length be discov-
cred by his hated enemies had sent the
tiger to guard it, The idea was ridi-

they had to acknowledge that there

turned about and became the hunter.

INDIFFERENCE AND CARELESSNESS
LEAD TO PHYSICAL SHIPWRECK

The weak, ailing, sick, and diseased

their control, their physical condition.
They are free agents, and almost Who'll

the brain is not affected, and the
mind can discern between right and

friends, and country loudly demands
a marked decision-prompt and deter
mined action when health is impaired
and life is in danger.
1t is the part of wisdom that true
decision be made today; tomorrow
may be too late. In thousands of
cases the checking and Punishment of
disease depends upon the instant &C.
ton an hour lost frequently means
the snuffing out of some precious life.
Few people in our country are with
out some knowledge of the wondrous,
life giving virtues of Paine's Celery
Compound, q medicine that guaran-

to life.
What will your decision be today,
poor sufferer? Will you give Paine S
Celery Compound the fair and honest
testing that others are giving it, with
it's certain reward of health, streng tn,
vigor, or happiness, or will you re-
main Indifferent and careless, content
to pass your few days or weeks in
