out toward the junk. Charlie did not
even follow the direction Of her ges-
turc. and from this very indifference
Wilbur guessed that it was precisely
because of the beachcombers that the
Machiavelian Chinaman had wished to
treat with his old officers.
"No hab got bacon" he queried, lift
ing his eyebrows in surprise.
PLENTY, but not for YOU"
Charlie took n buckskin bag from his
blouse and counted out a handful OF
silver and gold.

Wilbur looked at her i'm surprise. He
had expected a refusal.
"You no hab got liver pill?' inquired
Charlie blandly
Moran turned her back on him. She
and Wilbur conferred in a low voice.
"We'd better take them back If we
decenty can" said Moran. THE

She went out with Kitchell and a crew
of coolies, and she comes back with

Half OF the stores of the schooner
were water soaked, but upon examna-

ed intact TO put them beyond all fear
for the present

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous disease
tor anyone to attempt to doctor himself,
although he may have the proper reme-
dies at hand. A physician shonld
always be called. 1t should be borne in
mind, however, that pneumonia always
results from cold or from an attack of
of the grip, and by the proper treatment
of these diseases threatened attack of
pneumonia may be warded off. There
Is no que stion whatever about this, as
during the thirty years and more that
Chambellain's Cough Remedy has been
used, we have yet to learn of single
case of cold or attack of the grip hav-
ing resulted in pneumonia when this
remedy was used. 1t is also used by
physicians in the treatment of pneu-
| monia with the best results. DR., W..
J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala. who is also a
druggist, says it: 81 have been selling

So, 900, and which really contain
ed $4,000. The interesting
story is told by the Louisville
correspondent for the New York
World in this way: "Cassin is
only sixteen years old and is en-
ployed as a runner by the First
National bank. He surrendered
the fortune which had come into
his hands through a mistake as
calmly as if he had been correct
ing a mistake in change at
lunch counter. He is a son of
Henry f. Cassin, United States
commissioner, and has been at
work only short time. He
was sent to the Southern Ma
tional bank with check for
So, 900, and presented it for pay
ment to II. ID. Ormsby, the cash
Ter. Mr.. Ormsby made the pay
ment in patches of bills each
containing $500. He counted
out sixty-fve of the packages
and paid the remaining 800 in
loose bills. While checking off
the count of Mr., Ormsby, Cassin
noticed that one of the packages
was different in appearance
from the rest and took it up to
examine it more closely. To
his surprise, he found that it
was marked $50, 1000 1t was u
very natural mistake said the
boy, 'and any person is likely
to make the same kind of a
blunder in handling bills which
have been assorted and placed in
packages. 1t did not occur to
me that there was anything re-
markable in the experience, and
| Immediately returned the bill
to their proper owner. y
