CHAPTER II.
The Lamasery.

Sixteen years had passed since that
night vigil In the old Cumberland
house. and, behold! we were still trav-
cling, still searching for that mountain
peak shaped like the symbol OF life
which never, never could be found.
Five years we spent IN Tibet, for the
most part as guests of various monas-
teries. where we studied the law and
traditions OF the Lamas.
Leaving Tibet, we wandered East
and West and North, thousands and
thousands of miles, sojourning among
many tribes in Chinese territory. and
elsewhere, learning many tongues, en-
during much hardship. We would hear
a legend of a place, say nine hundred
miles away, and spend two years in
reaching it, to find when we came
there. nothing.
And so the time went on. Yet never
once did we think of giving up the
quest and returning, since, before we
started, we had sworn an oath that
we would achieve or die. Indeed, we
ought tc have died a score of times,
yet always were preserved, most mys-
teriously preserved.
Now we were in country where. sc
far as 1 could learn. no European had
ever set foot. In a part of the vast
land called Turkestan there is a great
lake named Balhkash, of which we
visited the shores. Two hundred miles
or so to the westward is range OF

this period OF rough travels, although
now and again we had met with acci-

neither of us had known a day of sick

our constitutions to iron and made them

was this because we alone among living
men had ohce inhaled the breath Of the
Essence of Life?

DECISIONS OF THE COURT.

Judge Crutchfield of Richmond.
Va. is credited with sharper wit
than any jurist in Virginia. on one
occasion he had two cases before
him, one being that of Red" Foster.
of the Richmond baseball team. and
the other man charged with pick
ing pockets. The Judge is a baseball
enthusiast. and Fosters case was call
ed first. In order that the baseb
player might get into game which
the judge intended to see. In fact he
often adjourned the police court in
order to attend a game. The testi-
mOny was conclusive. and Red" was
fined $40 for striking a negro.
II you could hit the ball. Red.
as hard as you hit that black man
you'd be star" remarked his honor.
The pickpOcket then came up. and
pleaded not guilty; but he was friend
less, and the judge said that he was
a suspicious character anyway and
fined him $40. The unfortunate fel-
low said that he only had 81 in his
possession. whereupon the judge said
to the bailiff:
Turn this man loose in this crowd.

HOW PATIENTS ARE TREATED

The erroneous idea OF embarrass-
ment, exposure and nudity. which
many hold of osteopathic treatment
keeps many women away, who feel
the need of its ad. Nothing can be
further from truth. The custom of
the masseur in having the skin for
work, and the failure to distinguish
between osteopathy and massage is
probably the cause of It.
The truth is the osteopath prefers
not 10 work on the bare skin.
Men remove the coat and vest and
usually the outer shirt. Women re-
move corset. heavy outer garments
and put on a wrapper or kimona. The
patient is then seated on stool or ta-

THE LAWS DELAY.
ton

From earliest times the laws delay
has been subject for denunciation.
The pompous pretense that the ma
chinery of the law must move at
slow pace is as strictly kept up today
as in olden times.
How much the hunger of lawyers
ami court officials for accommodating
fees influences delay is question
which it might be indelicate to dis
cuss.
The case Of Harry Gagan. of Cleve-
land. injured by a railway train.
which was begun through his guar
dian 10 years ago, when ne was a boy
of II, and which went up through all
tnr courts and was remanded to the
original court for retrial. has now
been held Invalid because the boy has
become Of age and must sue in his
own name.
There are cases like this occurring
every day all over the country.
John Rudnik of Chicago. was in
/ jured in 1885. In 1904 the supreme
court of Illinois awarded him s1O.-
900. If the person or firm In whose
employ ne was injured was prudent
enough to put away a sum of $40 900
in 1885 the beneficient operation of
the principle of compound interest at
s per cent has by this time added
$4,000 to the original deposit. The
injurer gets the $4,000. The injured
gets the $4,000. Evidently a wrong
has been done.

Justice astray for 10 years. il is moi
the innocent that ought to suffer.
A case similar to Rudnik's came to
light not long ago. a young girl was
compelled to wait nine years for the
$4,000 which constituted the COM
pensation for injuries which she had
received Such delays give an unfair
advantage to the stronger party. A
corporation can pay for lawyers. for

There ought to be some return to
the poor litigant for the money that
he has lost meanwhile. II interest
