With an oath Trent struck at his RI

Not until he explains this"
The three started at. the sound of
Captain Crosby's voice, and Trent made
an effort to slip from his captors and
spring aboard the steamer. which was
already slipping past the dock.
Crosby's grasp prevented the move.
and Paul and Kate looked with aston
ishment at the suit case which had
been broken open when struck by the
gangplank and forced against a post.
1t was packed solid with greenbacks
and bonds in place of clothing.
1T looks to me as though our friend

One glance at Trent's face showed
the constabIe's surmise to be correct,
and. with little cry, Kate swayed and
fell into Paurs arms.

Office. shutting out the crowd of Gu
rious citizens who thereupon followed

No Need of Suffering from Rheuma
tism.

1t is a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and in most
cases a cure effected by applying
Chamberlain Liniment. The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times it's cost. 1t makes
sleep and rest possible. Even in cases
ot long standing this liniment should
be used on account of the relief which
it affords. Do not be discouraged
until you have given it trial. For

against it. 1t is den of drunken
