 Slowly they went, his strength taxed by the additional weight of his sweet burden, while his every nerve was on tension for fear of discovery before they reached the ground. Madame Bizard leaned over the brink, watch ing them as they disappeared in the shadows. Suddenly Tonti felt thrill as of some one shaking the rope. Looking up, he saw Madame Bizard making warning gestures and then suddenly disappearing. He remained perfectly still, clinging to the vine. Soon he perceived the approach of an- other figure near the edge and he be- held the form of the Comte de Miron standing leaning against the tree around which their rope was fastened and looking over the lake. Full in the moonlight he stood, visible to those below him, who were hidden from his view by the protecting shade. His rest had been evidently disturbed by the thoughts of the near approach to the consummation of his desires, the humiliation of his enemy, and the win ming of her whose possession he had long wished for.
 Tonti braced himself against the cliff-wall and scarcely breathed for fear of imparting motion to the rope and causing some sound above that. would

EST ATE
IN LITIGATION
Late Wolf Fleisher's Di-
vorced Wife Sues for Big
Share of His Property

The story of a divorce of the long
ago is told in a suit filed yesterday by
/, c. D. Salheld, as assignee of Rifke
Glucklich Fleisher, to recover $SS,000
from the estate of the late pioneer hat
and cap manufacturer, Wolf Fleisher,
who died recently leaving an estate es-
timated to be worth quarter of mil
lion dollars. 1t is alleged that sSS.000
of the community property, which was
vorce, with interest.
Rifke Fleisher and Wolf Fleisher
were married in San Francisco, the
plaintiff alleges, on February IL, 1867,
and lived together as husband and wife
for nine and a half years. Early in 1876
Fleisher sued his wife for divorce. The
record shows that a default was en-
tered against her and on April q of
that year he was granted decree
The court, however, it is claimed made
no order relative to the community
property, which at that time was
worth in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Mrs. Fleisher. plaintiff continues.

Fleisher had obtained divorce from
her, she having departed to Cracow,
Austria, prior to the commencement OF
the suit ana SIle mas T6SlQeO lilclt eNSi
since When she learned of the di-
vorce, it is set forth, she recalled that
she was entitled to a large portion OF
her former husbands estate. During
their married life, she claims, her hus-
band accumulated s32, 800 profits from
his hat and cap factory, property on
Post street, near Hyde, worth S23, 800;
lots in the Paul Tract at Berlin and
Wilde streets, worth $4,000, ana a lot
at Folsom and Seventeenth streets
worth $4,000, totaling $4,000 in value.
No share of this community property
was awarded to her at the time of the
divorce, she says, and that she is en-
titled to one-half of this amount and
interest from the date of the decree of
divorce, April q, 1876. Interest on the
principal of $4,000. her half of the
community property, she says. now
amounts to S55,000.
On February last, Salfield, as as
signee of Mrs. Fleisher. presented her
claim to Esther Fleisher, administra-
trix of the estate of the late Wolf
Fleisher, but it was rejected. Salfield
now asks judgment of the court for an
accounting and for declaration that
i,Fleisher held the assignor's portion OF
his estate in trust for her during all of
these years, and that he be given judg :

The hair
Of your head

The hair of the head is
far more sensitive to
Climatic changes than is
usually supposed, and this
fact is peculiarly apparent
in California.
When the hair becomes
dry, brittle and falls out
and dandruff forms upon
the scalp it is an absolutely
certain indication of
diseased conditions, which,
unless promptly treated,
will result in badness.
Coke Dandruff Cure is
the only remedy thus far
discovered which will not
only remove dandruff, but
will positively grow
