up to him a field of operations which
promises to yield big returns in a
financial way. BY a peculiar combi-

was thrown into company with a
prominent sea captain and a priest
who has a great deal of influence with
the people along the coast of Siberia,
who have promised to aid him in his
plans. Upon his visit to Siberia he
found the daughter of the captain
near deaths door from blood poison

hand. The girl had already been
Amounted for death by the old priest
when the doctor arrived. But the
doctor cheated death by restoring the
girl, and earned the lasting gratitude
of both priest and captain AS the
three watched by the bedside of the
stricken girl a friendship sprang up
between them that, on the doctors

P. H. Albright returned Thursday
from Sedan where he had just con-
tracted for drilling ten wells in ninety
