CHAPTER XIII.

Oso-Bark was the proud possessor
Of small lumpy beast that was hon.
ored in Talmooch with the name Of
horse. This animal, at the time !
made the acquaintance of its owner;
was engaged in the honorable dnty OF
blowing the fields of Oso-Bark's fer
tile farm. He was taken from that
rustic pursuit and was harnessed to a
numbering, rickety vehicle that Mr..
Avery pronounced ca lal in all its at
tributes to the historical zone boss
shay" This vehicle had only two
wheels, and the body Of it was so
hung that the weight OF it was some
times in front of the axle and some
times behind it. Thus, al one time,
the weight OF the load was sustained
by the patient horse, while at another
the weight of the horse was all that
prevented the vehicle from tipping
over backward.
Behold me. then. with the reins of
this fascinating turnout in my hands,
furnished with full supply Of knick,
knacks, made by the lunar women,
jaunting around Galneor and into the
country beyond, even into Brom-
porrah, pretending to sell my wares
to my kinsmen. In this way was in
constant communication with my fol-
lowers and fellow slaves, without
being suspected by the Chinese
soldiers. But suspected or unsuspeced,
T was not favorite with the soldiers
of Hen-Ko-Hi. 1 was insulted aud
abused on all sides. It was no un-
usual thing for squad of these in
teresting rascals to rush at me in the
street, upset my cart, throw my goods
all over the ground, and then jab
sword into my horse and send him
Gathering away. At these times /
had great difficulty in controlling my
rage. I knewit would please my
tormentors if / resented their actions,
and give them an opportunity to take
me before the governor for punish
ment. But that would ruin all my
chances of obtaining freedom, and I
meekly bore their abuse, biding my
time for sweeping revenge.
I made the acquaintance of the
principal men of Galncor, and while I
proudly exhibited my goods TO the
women. talked with and gave in.

Berlin (By Cable).-The German For
eign Office officials say they do not be-
lievc that adiplomatic incident will re-
suit from The recent interview with
Admiral Dewey, published i'll American
newspapers aud containing references to
the German Navy and German Emperor.
The officials say they are reluctant to
believe that the Admiral was correctly
quoted, "especialy'n view Of the good
will he showed toward Germany in the
messages exchangedwitil Prince Henry
The Foreign Offfe officials add that
should the interview turn ont to be true
it would prove somewhat disturbing to
the pleasant relations with the United
States"
No official information on the subject
has been received from Washington. Re-
ferring to the recent American naval
maneuvers in West Indian waters the
officials of the Foeign Office say they
appear to have ben i'll chosen, since
Germany has no interests in the West
Indies. and it would seem that the
maneuvers could will greater aptitude
have been alluded to as being against
England, because England, on the other
hand. has territory thrc.
The interview witt Admiral Dewey
has angered the newspapers here. Even
those of usually moderate tone refer to
it in a bitter manner. For instance, the
Vossischc Zciturg says:
"The American Nary is evidently sui.
fering from disease of infancy-lack OF
modesty It's leader evinces something
unspcakably immature. One can only
stand amazed that such intensified self
complacency should take root in a people
of Germanic origin Such behavior

can republic. or Hiyti.

finished I saw I had made the I'M
preston I hoped to make. At my
nod Garu-Saak arose. His fierce eye
swept over the throng as if he were
feeling the temper of his audience.
"Men," he began, and his heavy,
powerful voice filed the caverns
around, "are you ready to follow the
great Oolek to victory? Will you
longer be slaves? Will you wrest the
fair island of Talmooch from the ty.
rant, and say to your women, 'Here
are your homes, free again?' Will
you make the women of Galneor
smile proudly on their warriors?
Will -you brave death. that you shall
be free?"--
He paused. The leadership OF
Garu-Saak was we'll established. He
knew the people; they knew their
leader. A spasm swept over them.
Their spirits were wrestling with the
bonds of hopelessness that had SO
long held them. The rexulsion was
coming. T saw it, and was delighted.
Oso-Bark saw it, and his eyes glis'
tened, as he leaned forward eagerly,
as if expecting something. Garu.Saak
saw it, and stood proudly waiting.
Mr.. Avery saw it, and his thin lips
quivered with emotion.
Finally a cheer like the roar Of
thunder smote the air. The multi
tude gave roar after roar. They
stamped their feet. They threw their
hats in the air.
"We will be free!"
eve are still men"
eve know how to fight!"
These cries were taken up and car
ried along by the united voices. Il
knew that I had struck my first blow,
and had won my first victory.
Garu. Saak continued: -
ave must have arms. We cannot
fight with our hands alone. We must
make guns. Here, in this channel,
those of you who are skilled must
lead the way and show those who are
unskilled how to help you. Here we
must build forges and workshops, and
at night, when the tasks set by the
tyrant are done, we must gather here
and make the guns that shall set us
free. Iname you, Poko-Bains, SUI
perintendent OF the works. Your
name is still known wherever the
lunar blade was used. When will
you be ready to begin?"
An aged man, whose brown face
was scanned with wrinkles, stepped
forward.
81 am ready, now," he said.
There was no moro speaking.
There could be none: I heard a
woman shrek: "Gorgret, you shall
yet be Free" 1t was Hankannan, who
had come with Miss Arnold to listen.
Thereupon the tumult became SO
great as to be almost deafening. The
Jumars shouted themselves hoarse.
They embraced each other. Thay
wept. They laughed. They danced.
I was glad when they dispersed, for
they were beside themselves.
"That is a good nights work." I
said, as Mr.. Avery, who was the last
to leave, was going. 'The death
knell of Hen-Ko-Hi has been
sounded"
"Crickmore, you have heard my
last cavil. I believe in you now as
firmly as do the Jumars. [ believe
you can do anything. Good night"

Gertrude Coehlan.

The colonial play, Alice of Old Vim cennes," will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre tonight, tomorrow matt nee and tomorrow night The tour of Ger trude Coghlan in this play has been marked by the most flatterlng apprecia- ton and applause from both the critics and the audiences, and her personal popu- larity has increased to d remarkable de- gree although she has been a great fav- orite ever since she made her first star ring tour.
 Of the play itself it is necessary only to say that it is generally conceded to be the best of the dramatized novels, and the adapter has succeeded remarkably well in retaining the atmosphere and flavor or the original story. All of the scenic sus- gestions of the book have been utilized as far as it was mechanically possible to do so The scenery, especially that which pictures Alice's home at Vincennes with the Wabash river in the distance has been spoken of as q most brilliant ex- ample of the scene-painter's art.

NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer From Catarrh Knows That Salves, Lotions, Washes
 Sprays and Douches Do Not Cure.

Powders. lotions, salves, sprays and tn- halers cannot really cure Catarrh, De- cause this disease is blood disease, and local applications, if they accomplish any thing at all, simply give transient re- lief.
 The catarrhal poison is in the bload and the mucus membrane of the nose, throat and trachea tries to relieve the system by secreting large quantities of mucus, the discharge sometimes closing up the nos trfls dropping into the throat, causing deafness by closing the Eustachian tubes, and after time causing catarrh of stom- ach or serious throat and lung troubles. A remedy to really cure catarrh must be an internal remedy which will cleanse the blood from catarrhal poison and re- move the fever and congestion from the mucous membrane.
 The best and most modern remedies for this purpose are antiseptics scientifically known as Red Gum, Blood Root and Fly drastin, and while each of these have been successfully used separately, yet 1t has been difficult to get them all com bined in one palatable, convenient and ef- ficient form.
 The manufacturers of the new catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, have suc- ceeded admirably in accomplishing this result They are large pleasant tasting lozenges, to be dissolved in the mouth. thus reaching every part of the mucous membrane of the throat and finally the stomach.
 Unlike many catarrh remedies, Stuart s Catarrh Tablets contain no cocaine opiate or any injurious drug whatever and are equally beneficial for little children and adults.
 MT. c. R. Rembrandt of Rochester N. | Y. says: "I know of few people who 1 have suffered as much as I from Catarrh | of the head. throat and stomach. I used sprays inhaers and powders for months at a time with only slight relief and had no hope of cure. I had not the means to make a change of climate. which | seemed my only chance of cure.
 'Last spring I read an account of some remarkable cures made by Stuarts Ca tarrh Tablets and promptly bought a fifty cent box from my druggist and ob- 1 tained such positive benefit from that one package that I continued to use them daily until now consider myself entirely free from the disgusting annoyance of ] catarrh; my head is clear, my digestion | all could ask and my hearing. which had | begun to fail as a result of the catarrh has greatly improved until I feel I can | hear as well as ever. They are a house. l hold necessity in my family"
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are sold by f druggists at 50 cents for complete treat | ment. and for convenience. safety and l prompt results they are undoubtedly the l long looked for catarrh cure.
