EVERY ONE ASKS HIM
HOW he GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. Jones Tells of the Way by Which He
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.

When Doctors Failed.
Six physicians, all of them good, one of
them specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years, and still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures Of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been dor
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he, was drawing ice in February,
1901. From that time on for period
of more than three years he was con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds Of
treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: "I should think he
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it ap-
peared i'll every muscle of my body. I
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use Of my
right one. My feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms Of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't, seem to be
involved at all. The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves."
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that cure might
yet be found was a friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought box of them in Sep
TENDER, 1904 The story of what fol-
lowed is brief, but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
when was on the third box" says
Mr.. Jones, i could realize a change for
the better. I felt sure then that DR..
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. I kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
/ am entirely well, and everybody is
asking what I took"
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. DR.. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which is
the seat of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.

CHAPTER v.
THE .WALRUS HIDE.


Paul Miller ran two or three hun
dred PAGES into the cavern until 1t
grew so dark he had to grope his way
and he came to halt.
From around projecting stone he
turned his gaze back to the chamber
which was lighted by the lamp.
He saw the hermit come at run
toward the inner chamber, three men
pursuing him. They were so close
on him that he halted by the side of
the couch and turned at bay. A third
man at this moment appeared on the
scene and seized his arms from be-
hind and hurled him to the cavern
floor.
Paul Miller had all along watched
the exciting contest. He started
toward the chamber, where they were
tying the hermits's hands with strips
of walrus skin, and was almost near
enough to call out when he suddenly
halted and gave them stare.
"They are the robbers themselves"
he gasped in a whisper. What in
heaven does this meant" He quickly
skunk away behind some masses of
rock. broken from the side Of the
cavern.
Completely concealed from the act
ors in this singular drama, Paul was
enabled to observe all that went on.
There seemed to be only violence
enough on the part of the captors to
effect the capture Of the hermit.
When this was effected they began
pleading with him to do something, or
make some revelation. After a few
words, the captive became silent and
sullen. His captors piled him with
many questions and he refused to an
swer any of them. At last, leaving
him in charge of one man, the other
When they came near Paul he
crouched in the smallest possible
space and scarce dared to breathe.
One of the two searchers was the
very man whom he had chased up the
mountain side.
AS they passed one of them men
toned a name which caused him to
start so violently as to almost dis
cover himself to them. 1t was Lack
land.
Lakeland was the wealthy banker
and Spectator of his own town, who
had been a rival for the heart and
hand of Laura Bush. What did these
mysterious men of the Klondyke
know about him, or what had he to
do with them?
Almost maddened by despair Paul
fell upon his knees and furiOusly
beat his breast with his hands while
the captOrs led the prisoner away.
They had taken up the oil lamp
and carried it with them, and Paul
was soon in total darkness. In his
fit of desperation he rose and fol-
lowed them. At the entrance Of the
cavern he halted and gazed off after
the captors and prisoner. A thousand
tumultuous emotions swayed his
heart, and again in despair he beat
his breast with his hands.
ooh, cruel, cruel fate! Why did |
not know he was my friend and de-
fend him!"
He gazed helplessly at the little
party until they had disappeared from
his view and then threw himself upon
the floor Of the cavern in despair.
But his better judgment came to his
relief and starting up he seized the
lamp and started back toward the fire
to light it. 1t seemed an age before
the faint glow from the dying embers
| told him where the fire was. He at
| last reached the spot, and with pine

CHAPTER IIl.-(Continued.)
He closed his eyes and in a few
moments was unconscious. When he
awoke he found the strange hermit at
his side bending over him and gazing
eagerly into his face. He turned
slowly away and went back to the
fire.
A moment later he brought him
some meat and said:
"You had better eat: you are weak. ="
This was quite long sentence for
the hermit, and he paused after speak
ing to rest. Paul took the broiled steak
and ate sparingly. It was very juicy
and nutritious, and he began to feel
stronger in a few moments after ne
had finished. The hermit meanwhile
had resumed his seat on large stone
in front of the fire.
There was now another expression
on his face It was an expression or
sadness. The more Paul studied the
features of this strange man the more
mysterious they seemed. He lay for
a long time looking at him and ask
ing himself a thousand questions.
Then he grew weary of gazing and
thinking and closed his eyes. Con-
seriousness had almost slipped away
when a movement in the cavern
caused him to again open his eyes.
The hermit was preparing to leave.
He took up the rude lamp, in which
burned some kind of oil, and went to
the opposite side of the cavern. He
set the lamp on a fat stone, and put
ting his hand into a sort of crevice in
the rocky wall pulled forth something.
It was in a roll. He unrolled it and
gazed at it intently.
From where he lay Paul saw that
the object when unrolled was part OF
a tanned hide of some sort Of an ami
NAL.
81 hope he will leave it," thought
Paul. eff he does l will examine it.
There is writing on it, and it may con-
tain some clew to this Klondyke mys-
terry that so nearly drives me mad"
All the movements of the hermit
were slow and deliberate. He went
carefully toward the entrance of the
cavern. Long Paul lay on the couch
listening for the slight tread OF the
maccasined feet, but he came not
back.
"He has gone!" said Paul.
He rose to a sitting position and
gazed about the cavern.
After a few moments he rose to his
feet. With wildly beating heart he
began his tour Of exploration. The
oil lamp had been left burning on a
square stone, and he picked it up and
went along the great natural corridor
for some distance until he came upon
a great chamber with lofty ceilings.
He began to search for the crevice
in the rock where he had seen the
man place the skin on which was the
writing. Paul found the roll and drew
it out.
1t proved to be piece Of walrus
hide covered all over with strange pic
lures and hieroglyphics such as the
Indian picture writer's use. 1t was
almost round, and he could find no
beginning nor end to it.
The report of gun near the mouth
of the cavern caused him to thrust the
walrus hide into the crack and hasten
into the deeper recesses Of the cav
orn,

GOODNESS AND NERVE WIN
LIBERTY FOR PRISONER
Returning From Courtroom to Jail,
John Bunting Escapes While
BaiIiff Looks On

Cool nerve won liberty for John
Bunting yesterday morning as he was
being escorted from the third floor of
the city jail, where he had just been
sentenced to three days in Jail by Judge
Rose.
In company with several other pris-
oners, Bunting was walking down a
dimly lighted stairway with Ballff G.
J. Lehnhausen. Quickly stepping out
of the ranks Bunting drew a cigarette
from his pocket and, as the baliff
passed, lit it. Lehnhausen looked at the
man, but his air of Indifference allayed
any suspicious that the officer might
have had and Bunting was left to him
self. He dashed down another stair
way and escaped.
Lehnhausen discovered Bunting's alb
sence a few seconds later and rushed
after him. While the bunch of prison
ers were alone, two others attempted
to escape, but Bailff Hariat and Jani-
tor Gage captured them. 1t was after
ward learned that word had beer
passed among the prisoners that Lehn-
hausen was a new man and the plans
had been laid before they were ar
raigned.

NO APPOINTMENTS BRoAcHED

Police Commissioner James returned
to Los Angeles late Friday night from
his two weeks trip to the north, and
bright and early yesterday morning.
before even the fire commissioners had
opened their session, he was at the
city hall for confab with Mayor Nc
Aleer.
Later, he had a pleasant little chat
with Police Commissioner Mason. Mr.
James said discussion over the ma
terial for new police chief to sue
coed Hammel did not enter into their
conversation. Mr.. Mason makes the
same statement.
Mayor McAIeer says that when he
talked with James it was on subjects
other than police captains or chiefs.
Mr.. James says this is true, every
word Of it.
Politicians around the city hall
scratched their heads yesterday after
hearing these statements. They were
entirely unable to offer a satisfactory
solution to the puzzle-James. Mason
and McAleer meeting without dis
cussion of Hammel's successor and
that, too, after one of the three has
been absent from the city for two
weeks. The declaration of innocence
went unchallenged, but there was not
a jury to report on the evidence.
Mr.. James said yesterday: Il have
been absent from Los Angeles since
august 20, and during my stay in the
north, I had no desire to look at a
Los Angeles paper. do not even know
the name of single applicant for the
position of chief of police and have
no idea as to when the appointment
will be made.

EMPLOYERS TO FIGHT CASE
F. S. Stewart Sentenced for Contempt

EMPLOYERS TO FIGHT CASE

Charged with contempt of court and
sentenced to imprisonment in the
county Jail until he will comply with
the orders of the court to pay a small
debt, F. S. Stewart, an employe of one
Of the largest mercantile companies
Of Los Angeles, yesterday petitioned
for writ of habeas corpus and was re-
leased on his promise to be in court
Wednesday.
Young Stewart will fight the suit in
the supreme court If necessary, ac-
cording to the statements of his
friends, and many mercantile men are
preparing TO give all aid necessary in
& mild form Of revolt against the gar
nishment of salaries Of their employees.
The claim against Stewart originated
several weeks ago through his charity
to one of his less fortunate friends.
According to the story told by the
young man, a friend came to him dur
ing July and asked Stewart to stand
security for a meal at a restaurant in
the neighborhood of the Los Angeles
quest and the friend, instead of being
satisfied with one meal at his friends
expense, secured s. meal ticket and
charged it to Stewart.
Arrested for Contempt
When the proprietor of the place pre-
sented his bill, Stewart acknowledged
Indebtedness for one meal but refused
tu pay the s.. Suit was brought before
Justice Pierce and judgment was rem
dered against Stewart for $3.50 costs.
Again Stewart refused to pay and
his salary was garnished. but as he
was being paid in advance. the con-
stables were unable to make a collec-
ton.
Three weeks ago, notice was served
on Stewart, warning him that If he
failed to pay up he would be committed
for contempt. Still believing the debt
to be an unjust one, the young man
refused and Friday was arrested and
sent to jail.
A similar case appeared before the
superior court several months ago and
the small suit for debt was taken to
! the supreme court. This may be the
case with the Stewart affair, as mer-
camille men have been greatly annoyed
by garnishment of their employees SAL
aries for trivial obligations.
