PAINFUL SC|ATICA
EVERY SUFFERER WANTS THE VERY
QUICKEST CURE.

srr. Donovan Thinks the Remedy Used by
Him with Such Remarkable Success
the Best-Cured by Five Boxes.
"Men who have to do difficult and
dangerous work on electric lines at any
hour of day or night, can It afford to have
ANYTHING the matter with their health, J"
said Mr.. Donovan. You can imagine,
therefore, how much was alarmed one
winters day in 1902, when | was seized
by pain just behind my right hip that
made it difficult for me to walk home.
It was so bad by the time reached the
house that was obliged to go straight
to bed"
"Did that relieve your"
"No, the pain grew more severe and
kept extending downward along my leg.

cided that I had sciatica. In few days
the whole nerve was affected, and the
least movement brought on terrible
agony.
"Did your condition improve under
the doctors treatment?"
"Ouite the contrary. At ths end OF
two months wasn't bit better, and at
times I feared that would never be
able to leave my bed"
Chow did you get out again"
"When was lying III bed, unable to
move and wasting away in flesh, friend
visited me and told me about the Won
derful cures brought about by great
blood and nerve remedy, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. He strongly urged me to try
them, and I luckily had sense enough to
take his advice"

pills, could get out of bed while l was
on the third box, and I was entirely
cured by the time had taken five boxes. !"

Williams Pink Pill9 are the remedy to
use when the blood is thin, as i'll anemla;

the nerves are weak, as in neuralgia; or
lifeless, as in partial paralysis; or when
the body as a whole is ill-nourished, as
in general debility. They are sold by
oil druggists.

on the dried grass, striving to per
suade himself that after all this was
some horrible dream. The man whom
he had assaulted in company with
Padgett and Morris approached him.
Morris handed Paul a letter in the
well-known handwriting Of Laura
kean. 1t was dated at Juneau and
addressed to Paul's mother in Fresno.
The letter was brief, saying she had
just arrived. and would rest day or
two before proceeding farther.
"Isl't that evidence?" asked Morris.
Eyes; but she did not come with
him"
",Oh no; he came on another ship"
Then he lied when he said they
came together"
Morris laughed cold, sardonic
laugh, and in voice that seemed to
have all the evil of a demon in it,
answered:
Though they came on different
ships from America, there is but one
train going to the Klondyke and both
will be in that train. The chances are
she knows no one but him, and you
know Lackland's feelings towards the
girl. When he starts to win he wins;
he's got millions to work with, and If
it's necessary to buy the entire pack
train off he can do it"
Paul Miller groaned aloud, but
made no answer. He realized how
great her danger and how Utterly hope
less he was to aid her.
Now you san save her." said Nor
ris.
"Saye her? My Heaven, how?
What other Internal scheme have you
on hand?"
"You were overheard talking with
the old man about walrus hide. From
what you said it was understood you
knew something about it. II you will
give us information that will lead to
finding it, you shall be given your lib
erty and be taken to this young lady,
Laura Kean."
81 cannot" groaned Paul.
"Why."
81 don't know where it Is"
"What did you do with it?" asked
Morris, his face expressing the deep
est concern.
81 gave it to another. Where he is
or what he has done with il I do not
know"
A look of disappointment swept
over the faces of the captors at this
announcement. They retired to near
the entrance of the cavern and there
held consultation.

these woods waitin' t. grab that pile,

Tom Ambrose, though equally as
much a villain as his companion,
urged moderation. During all the
years the unprincipled rascals had
struggled to get possession of their
captive's secret, Tom had acted as a
brake to fiery Ned's temper.

What is it?"
"Come here"
His companions gathered about him
and he spread his arms around their
shoulders and began to reveal the
plan which emanated from his Won
derful brain-a plan that was diaboE
ical, but promised success.

"Why have you lived SO long In

answer. yours is the only face l
have seen since left my friends. the
Indians, save those who held me
captive"
"And you have escaped?"
eyes"
"Then come with us to the camp
on the Klondyke."
"Klondyke-Pve heard of it; they
often talk about it when they think
me asleep, but do not always sleep
when I seem to-"
Paul was filled with delight, for
here was q chance to unravel the
mystery in which he was involved.
Another silence fell on the group,
broken by Paul asking:
"Do you know a miner named
Glum?"
"Glum-Glum-no."
"Glum Ralston."
The old man again shook his head,
declaring he had never known such
person Paul was disappointed. From
what Glum Ralston had told him he
was confident that this mysterious
hermit of the woods was the long.
lost captain who had followed the
Indians to the place where they said
gold in great quantities was found.
But when the mysterious hermit
disclaimed any knowledge Of him at
all he was quite as far away from
the solution of the problem as he
had been before.
Next morning the party resumed
their march guided by the sun, which
shone a portion Of the day. Paul
and the hermit were constantly to-
gether, and hourly grew more and
more friendly, until, as the noble
nature of the hermit unfolded itself,
Paul came to love him. He was
known to the hermit by his sobriquet
of Crack-lash, for he had been called
by no other name since his arrival
in Alaska.
Paul was hourly entwining him
self about the rugged heart of the old
man. One night when they had
halted and the Indians were building
fire for the night the hermit said:
"Crack-lash, you impress me
strangely. | don't know why, but
have grown to love you as if you
were my nearest relative. When my
own dear boy grows up to manhood
I could only wish that he would make
as noble man."
Paul, deeply impressed with the
old mans sad story, expressed a hope
that he would soon be able to leave
Alaska and reach his home, and that
his wife and child might yet be alive
to welcome him.
Their stock Of provisions were run
ming short. One day the Indians
came on the trail OF moose and
were anxious to start on it's trail.
Paul gave them permission to go,
while he and the hermit kindled the
fire and prepared to make themselves
comfortable for the night
The prisoner as usual sat in sul1en
oAASAANO' Win hAo jain dSd1n0I d Tree
and his eyes fixed on the fire. Paul
and the hermit sat engaged in earn
est conversation. The former was
talking in low tone, telling how he
had been robbed by the prisoner and
three others, and followed them into
to forest. He was in the midst of
his narrative when two objects sud
denly appeared before them, each
with a Winchester rife and said
Surrender or you are dead men,"
Resistance was useless; they were
prisoners almost before they knew it.
