would be surprised to know it, because
it has been called some other name than

which is of equally great Importance, is
that Peruna cures catarrh wherever

CHAPTER XII.
Some Strange Happenings.

The qIeer sound rasped Jim's nerves.
He wanted to know what caused it; and
finally, when he seemed to have listened
for long time, he felt that he must
know, or it would become unbearable al
most to madness. Despite the pain in his
side, which every jolt Of the caravan ag
gravated, he tried the experiment of NOV
ing. He could do very little in this way,
but he found it was possible to wriggle
along the floor, by drawing up his knees
and stretching out his legs again By
doing this, the only thing that he could
hope to accomplish, SO far as he could see,
would be to leave the cloak which COW
cred his head behind him as he pro-
crossed. Even this would be something,
however, and he helped on his design by
lifting and lowering his head as he moved
his body. ~-
How long he kept this up he could not
have told, but it felt like hours. Once or
twice he was SO spent by the wearing
effort that he was tempted to give it up
and cry "Kismet!" but olostinacy came to
the rescue after a few moments Of pant
| ing inaction, and at last he was rewarded
not only by breathing more freely, but
dimly seeing light. He had contrived
nearly to slip off the cloak, and cool outer
air crept in under the cloth, tanning his
forehead which was damp with heat and

efforts, and suddenly was rewarded by
writhing out from the thick folds Of the
cloth. He had worked his way along the
| floor from one end of the caravan to the
other, on his back, and the cloak was left
behind
Eagerly he looked around him, the in
terror of the caravan being made visible

on the edge Of a shelf-the lowest of a
row of shelves, and not two feet above
his head as he lay. The lantern was
swinging with the motion of the caravan
and tapping against 4 wooden box which
| stood half under the shelf. It was this
which had made the sound somewhat like
the exaggerated ticking Of big clock

now that he had got rid of his mutflings

a dark lantern; but it was open, an6
