owned more members Of the present
congress than the last when a body Of
patriotic citizens came riding on the
galiop and drew rein beside me. and
the leader called out:
"Yillain. we will give you exactly
ten minutes. in which to make your
peace with heayen!w
"Whyfore this gathering and this
s~uddenness 2" I asked.
"It's that Pain Alleviator Of yours
that has killed three people over at
Goldfish Point They died within half
an hour after taking it. We. their sur
viving relatives, demand retribution."
Roads From One of His Circulars.
I protested. With a rope around my
neck I protested. From n Of my DIR
culars I read to them that the Pilgrim
Pain Alleyiator was compounded from
roots and banks and herbs that were
perfectly harmless.
That even IL you swallowed the cork
with the dose you had a buoyant feel
ing.
That it Yves a panacea for low spirits
and morbid feeling.
That people who were on the point
Of committing suicide had taken
dose and begun to frolic.
That it had warded of yellow fever
and deprived cholera Of it's grip.
That liver complaint. lumbago. ca
tarrh, rheumatism. roaring in the head,
dizziness and fatulency disappeared
before it. like dew before the sum-
mer's sun.
That it had helped undeserving peo-
pie into Jail and helped deserving ones
out.
That no man should trade horses. buy
q piece of land. get married, make a
will or bury his wife without first TAX
ing a dose according to directions.
The pathos in my voice or the indis-
putable facts I stated had an impress
sion on all the patriots but n he
was an old man with the chin whisk-
ers Of q goat and a c~ountenance he
tried to make benign. l remembered
to have seen him a year before when
he was travelling about the country
with q consumption cure. I now saw
that he was the real leader Of the
gang and that his object in having me
lynched was to come into possession
Of my outfit, which I will state here
for the benefit of blind persons con-
sists Of
One horse.
One tintype outfit.
One fighting dog.
Twcnty-four moving pictures that

One grasshopper in a bottle.

Wiser CounseIs Prevail.
This old patriarch pushed to the front
and demanded that I be hung forth
with, but wiser councils prevailed. and
I was taken six miles to a county seat
and there thrust into Jail until the case
could be further considered. At the
end Of two days it was ascertained be-
yond dispute that the u~nfortunates had
come to their deaths by eating poi
sonous mushrooms. All had my al
l~eviator in the house, and had they
taken a double dose the effects of the
poison would have been counteracted.
I was given my liberty with many ex-
pressioDs Of sympathy and good will.
and when I came to look around l
found that my property had disappear

H0W Stakes We're Won and Lost.

Prom the New York Times
James H. Eckels, who died in Chicago
recently. was always noted for his ex-
tremely youthful appearance. This was
accentuated by his modesty Of demeanor
TO the point Of self-effacement and his
habit of wearing the jaunty style Of
clothes usually affected by boys Of nine
teen. ECkels was not tall. was Of slight
build. and clean-shaven. He weighed lit
tie more than lC0 pounds, and even after
he passed forty. might easily be mistaken
for a lad half his age.

Eckels, If his physical appearance did

Raymond protested that It wasn't a

ended all argument by rolling into the
lower berth. Immediately Stimulating sleep.
Two ladders were brought. and after
great exertions by the porter and the
conductor, Raymond was pushed into the
upper berth. while ECkels chuckled glee-
fully. but noiselessly.
Raymond couldn't sleep. He couldn't
even turn over. and the berth seemed to
be full Of heavy woolen blankets.
About midnight the train stopped at
Kalamazoo. Eckels was sleeping peace
fully. Raymond was still awake. A ma
trOnly woman hustled into the car. Like
ECkels and Raymond. she had neglected
to engage a berth. The train was filed.
There wasn't even an upper berth left.
and the train had already pulled out Of
the station.
The woman voiced her CONSERVATION.
and the wakeful Raymond heard her He
stuck his rotund and benevolent looking
head between the curtains Of the upper
berth and beckoned her away from the
conductor.

warmly in a subdued voice. reassured
any lingering doubts she may have had

woman, sOOthingly. Go right back 10

This was too much for Raymond. He
let out roar that did full justice to his
size, and Eckels was startled into COM

The result was that Eckels, who was
nothing If not polite insisted on getting
up and dressing. so that the Kalamazoo
passenger could have the use of the
berth. He spent the rest OF the night in
the smoker. meditating on the fugacity of
things gained by gambling, while the sat

CHAPTER XI.
The Fnce in the Street.

As Ted Sealey had promised. no one
recognized Godfrey as the man who had
left OldCaste in disgrace eight years ago.
No one saw in the bronzed face, in the
stiff. firm mouth. in the hair that was
beginning to be specked with gray. the
features of the man, one time mill hand
who had been flung out Of Oldcastle on
that dull. chill day eight years ago. The
want Of recognition gave him a lonely
feeling, as if he had come a stranger to a
strange land. He felt almost lonelier in
this place that he had loved than he had
done when he left the steamer at Mel
bourne and walked out into the unfa-

HEALTH HINTS FOR
THE SEASH0RE.

People who spend their vacations out OF
town have an idea that they can commit
all sorts of imprudences which at home
would lay them on a sick bed. Children
are allowed to paddle about for hours al
the seashore. The bracing air and salt
water may prevent any danger of catch
ing cold. but too long a play with the ex-
tremities In water, is apt to produce
rheumatism. or a tendency to 1t, when
may not develop until some later time.
A sun bath If INDUCED in at all should
be taken before the sea bath. and not al
ter coming from the water. To sit In wet
clothing even in the sun is not a very
wise proceeding and particularly when the
air is damp and the breeze chilly. II the
ocean is cold. do not attempt to stay IN
very long. and take a brisk run mp the
sand after coming out. Follow this by a
brisk rubbing with a Turkish towel. and
the short dip into the cold water Will
prove invigorating.
Another imprudent thing to do at the
shore is to sit out of doors in the evening.
The air is apt to be damp after shutdown,
and under such circumstances the hotel
piazza is not as safe a place to chose as
is the city porch. If he air is chilly and
damp. stay inside or walk up and down
with a light wrap thrown around the
shoulders. Visitors Just arriving at the
shore should be particularly careful In
this respect. until they have become used
to the change of air.
