to be incurable. For a great

it local disease and prescribed
local remedies and by constantly
failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be
unconstitutional disease and there

There was nothing extraordinary least,
to the passengers-in the sight of solitary

although the train hands looked curiously at
the locomotive and its engineer, as they rushed
by, no halt was made.
As soon as the train had disappeared, Fisher

the trees on the telegraph line, which left the
track at this point, in order to save curve

And what have you been doing"
Il was one of The. Hungarian soldiers in
the Austrian army, and my colonel who hated
everything Hungarian, ill-treated me in every
way he could think Of, and at last struck me
across the face with his whip before the whole
regiment: With one blow / felled him to the
ground"
"WeIl done" broke in Jack. "Just what
I'd have done myself"

"Well, I hope you will" said Jack; mbut

are two FORMS anyhow; it's all I've got, or I'd
give you more"
"Now. may God bless you'll" cried the un-

edged knife, with curiously-shaped buck

you of Theodore Lattos.
The battle of Otenitza is drawing to its
close, and the gray-coated Russian columns are
giving way on all sides, as the dark blue
masses of Turkish infantry come rolling on
with leveled bayonets
The Russians have fought stoutly, but all
their courage is vain against the skill and
energy of The Turkish leader, who has long
since become famous as the Sultan's greatest
general, and whose name is now the terror of
every Russian soldier on the Danube.
In a small clump of trees on the brink of the
river a young lieutenant and half dozen
Russian grenadiers, cut off from the rest, are
fighting manfully against swarm Of yelling
assalants. But the struggle is too unequal to
last. The gallant men fall one by one, till at
length the lieutenant stands alone among his
enemies, with his back against tree, his
notched saber in one hand and his smoking
revolver in the other.
Jack Pemberton-now Lieutenant Pember-
ton of the Russian army-is sorey changed
from the bright-haired boy who used to scam
per along the corridors of Karolyi Castle. But
his brave American heart is not changed one
whit, and he faces the Turkish bayonets as
stoutly as he faced the midnight terrors Of the
dismal vault fifteen years ago.
And now his revolver is empty; and now his
sword breaks off at the hilt in hewing down
powerful Roumelian, and for moment he

tie had decoyed into the vaults below it a
younger brother, with whom he had quarreled,
and shut him up there to die by the slow
agony of starvation.
Ever since that time the ruins we're said to
be haunted, and the bold Hungarian peasants,
who would face wolf or bear with no weapon
but KNIFE, would have gone ten miles round
rather than come near the fatal vault after
nightfall
Into this mysterious place Jack Pemberton,
a bright American boy, whose father had
just brought him on visit to Count Karolyi,
had tried in vain to penetrate Every time he
attempted to do so, one or other of the old
Hungarian servants would start up right in
his way, making such an outcry that Jack
was glad to get out of hearing as fast as
possible
However, he was determined not to be balk-
ed, and finding it-hopeless to think of entering
the ruins by day, he was now on his way to
visit them in the dead of night
The iron gate which led into the untenanted
wing was locked and bolted; but it was easy
up by the ivy that covered the wall, slip
through one of the countless gaps in the crum-
bling masonry, and scramble down on the
other side.
But just as he reached the ground, huge
stone, oosened by his descent, came thunder
ing down after him, while at The same moment
an owl overhead set up such frightful screech
that even bold Jack was startled, more espe-
cially as he now saw at glance, having
heard the place described so often, that the
deep black hollow on his left must be the
very vault which had been the scene of the
murder.
just then something stirred amid the dark
ness of the vault, and Jack started; for al
though he was not silly enough to believe in
ghosts, he thought it likely enough that some
wild beast had made its den there.
Catching up heavy stone in one hand, he
drew back with the other the slide of the dark
lantern that was bucked around his waist
the light of which fell upon the figure of a
man crouching in one corner, so haggard, torn
and Withholding that if he had been a ghost
he could hardly have appeared more un-
earthly.
"Who on earth are you! A.robber?" asked
the boy, considerably elated at the thought
of midnight meeting with real live robber
in the dungeons of Hungarian castle
'No, Pm hiding from my enemies, who want
to kill me-" replied the stranger, in toer
ably good German, though with slightly
foreign accent. 'You won't give me up, will
you?

dent, "shal telegraph to Smyrna or South
Tyre"
"South Tyre" said l. "Hen never stop at
a way station, but will go through, in order to
catch the night express out OF Tyre.
Then the president dictated, and 1 sent the
following:
"Albert French, Chief of Police, South
Tyre:
ARREST man on passenger to arrive at 6.45
Dark hair and eyes; scar on left cheek; gray
clothes and dark soft hat. Name, Bates. Hold

And back came Billy's welcome:
40. K, B."
We returned to our locomotive, started and
ran slowly till we met Fisher walking on the
track toward Champion. Taking him up, we
continued on, while he told his story.
Found the break in the woods" said he.
'"The fellow had cut it and fastened two cop
per wires, one on each side the cut, a couple
of feet apart. OF course, fixed it easy enough
when 1 found it, but 1 came very near miss
ing it. That's all"
Bates plan was now as clear as MONDAY.
Evidently an expert telegrapher, he had Sc
lected the Champion Bank for the object OF
his swindle, on account of the wire being SO
arranged as to suit his purposes. He had gone
to, secluded place. cut the main wire, at
tached his copper wires, and, by using pocket
relay, was enabled to hear all that went over
the line
AS every operator has a way OF sending pc
culiar to himself, Bates must have spent some
time in learning the respective styles of Miss
Hanson and myself before doing anything
further Then he had listened to the messages
for the day, keeping minute of the num-
bers, and when all was ready he made
ground connection, cutting off Champion, and
received "Message No. y himself.
Substituting his bogus dispatch, he sent it
to Crampton, but in order to do this he had
to take off his ground wire and here he be-
trayed himself.
He undoubtedly waited till he thought 1
had left the table, and then sent his message,
which had to go through the South Tyre office
to get to Champion.
happened to hear it, by good luck, and he
was detected.
But as he could not know this he cut the
wires, and going to the bank at a reasonable
time after the message had been delivered,
presented the forged draft.
The cashier did not hesitate to pay the
money, after being, as he supposed, assured by
the drawer, President Foster that the draft
was genuine.
This is about all. We returned safely to
South Tyre, found our man in the hands Of
the police, and some weeks after, saw him
sentenced to long term in the penitentary.
Thus ended Charley's story We all drew
Ia long breath and were silent for a moment
Then Will Ashford inquired:
Wasn't President Foster pleased at saving
all that money!?
''Yes" answered Charley, smiling; "at least
enough no TO give me this"
And he drew from his pocket . fne gold
watch.
