OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to
TrembIe.

The surgeons duties require clear
judgment and steady hand. A slip
or an unnecessary incision may do ir-
reparable damage to the patient.
When he found that coffee drinking
caused his hands to tremble, an Ills.
surgeon conscientiously gave it up and
this is his story.
For years l was a coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down, my hands trembled so
could hardly write, and insomnia tor
tured me at night.
Besides, how could | safely per-
form operations with unsteady hands,
using knives and instruments OF pre-
cision? When l saw plainly the bad
effects of coffee, / decided to stop it,
and three years ago prepared some
Postum, of which l had received a
sample.
THE first cupful surprised me. It
was mild. soothing, delicious. At this
time gave some Postum 10 a friend
who was in a similar condition to
mine, from the use of coffee.
"A few days after. l met him and
he was full of praise for Postum, de-
claring he would never return to cof-
fee but stick to Postum. We then or
dered full supply and within a short
time my nervousness and consequent
trembling. as we'll as insomnia, disap-
peared, blood circulation became nor
NAL, no dizziness nor heat flashes.
my friend became a Postum en-
thusiast, his whole family using It ex-
clusively.
1T would be the fault of the one
who brewed the Postum, IL it did not
taste good when served.

limp to the earth.

He had hardly taken a half dozen
steps before Murphy called after him:
'Don't-don't go an leave me-it's

down upon his huddled figure. You're

CHAPTER xxVII.-continued.


The memory of his old plain craft

few necessaries for the trip. He
bought without haggling over prices,

regarding the untracked regions lying
before him, as well as the character
and disposition of the man he pur-
sued. Both by instinct and training
he was able to comprehend those brief
hints that must prove of vast benefit
in the painless wilderness.
The night was already dark, but
stars were cleaning brilliantly over
head, and the trail remained easily
traceable. Ii became terribly lonely
on that wilderness stretching away
for unknown leagues in every direc-
ton, yet Hampton scarcely noted this,
so watchful was he lest he miss the
trail. To his judgment, Murphy would
not be likely to ride during the night
until after he had crossed the Fourche.
There was no reason to suspect that
there were any hostile Indians south
of that stream, and probably therefore
the old scout would endeavor to con-
serve his own strength and that of his
horses, for the more perilous travel
beyond.
About midnight, the trail becoming
obscure, the rider made camp, conf
dent he must have already gained
heavily on the man he pursued. He
lariated his horses and flinging him
self down on some soft turf. almost
Immediately dropped asleep. He was
up again before daylight, and, after
a hasty meal, pressed on. The nature

circumscribed by towering cliffs and
deep ravines.
Late in the afternoon he refined VI
his horse and gazed forward into q
broad valley, bounded with precipi
tous bluffs. The trail led directly
down toward where a considerable
stream of water shone silvery In the
sun. half concealed behind fringe Of
willows. And yonder, close in against
those distant willows, some black dots
were moving. Hampton glued his
anxious eyes to the glass. The levelet
tubes clearly revealed man on horse

Fourche and plunge into the dense
shadows shrouding the northern shore.

at last. So Murphy pulled contentedly
at his old pipe.
But suddenly there was the faint
crackle of branch to his left, and
one hand instantly closed over his pipe

volver at his hip. There came plain,
undisguised rustling in the grass

him more than would volley of rifles
He sprang half erect, then as swiftly
crouched behind a willow, utterly un-
able to articulate. For the instant his
very blood ran cold; he appeared to
shrivel up.
"Oh. come. Murphy; speak up, man
