CHAPTER xix.

Swimming, shadowing, scorching.
Soon after one o'clock in the morn.
Ing of the 18th the lights in the doing
harbor Of Vera Cruz appeared in view.
A member of the crew told the excited
and desperate Jerry that at the end of
another hour the trim little craft
would be at anchor half mile out,
and that launch would take the four
passengers in as soon thereafter as
possible.
Jerry had not seen O'Connor for
several hours, when he was told that
the Cuban engineer was "still able to
sit up and take nourishment."
"And he isn't down and out?" fever
1shly asked Jerry.
Il heard him groaning a while ago."
significantly smiled the engineer, as
he kept on polishing some of the nick
ell plating on the engine.
"Has the captain said anything to
your"
mot a word"
Then. good heavens, maybe he
doesn't intend to-" half cried the al
most frantic Jerry. While he fretted
and moved nervously about, the engi-
neer calmly kept on with his work,
making the contrast of the two states
of mind all the more pronounced by
whistling lively little Irish air.
Just before the anchor was thrown
out the captain approached Jerry and
ordered him to go below and awaken
the Cuban engineer. ..t
Back again, I see," smiled Mike.

Jerry went into the Cuban's room

would be permanent. I had dOotored
with six doctors and they all said it was

Chocolate Cure Popular

The chocolate cure Is drawing many
thin women TO a certain obscure little
town in Germany. It seems TO be a
nerve cure as well as a chocolate cure.
Cor the people taking the cure are out
Of doors most Of the time enjoying the
scenery end exercising a little. Then
the patients eat caucolate-lots OF tt
and all the time
The secret OF tie success OF the
treatment seems TO be in the fact that
the people become stout in the right
places. The arms become plump and
round and the neck and bust FIJI out
gracefully. The best part OF IL AL Ii
that the cure can be taken at home
just as well, and II Is strange that
people will travel so far out Of their
way 10 get such a simple treatment
The treatment consists simply Of eating
chocolate all the time and drinking the
beverage IN large quantities.
