For Rarh Wire Cuts.


When a horse has been injured on

the flow of Blood this may as rule
be done by bandaging it up tight. 1t
may also frequently be best to Apply
powreded alum or common saleratus,
both of which will generally be found
effective. In a few hours, considerable
swelling will set in; this should be re-
duced either by applying cold water
frequently, or, what Is really better,
applying pure kerosene OIL not only to
the wound but also to the swollen
parts. No bandage should be kept on
where kerosene is used, as 1t will then
cause the hair to fall OF temporarily
and as soon as it is safe to do so, the
sore should be carefully washed with
soft water and CASTLE soap. This ought
to be repeated daily until the sore
heals. One of the best healing medl-
cines for horse flesh that | have ever
used can be put up at any drug store,
as follows: One-half pint of alcohol
one-half pint of spirits Of turpentine,
one ounce of pure glycerine; mix all
together in a large bottle and shake
well before using Apply only with a
feather at morning and night. The
sore should never be bandaged. BY
daily washing it will in this way neal
up very rapidly. | can personally tes-
tify to the effectiveness of this simple
remedy as we have made use Of it in

The judge ordered the candles. and
while they were waiting observed:
You had better accustom yourself to

And so you have appealed to me
You wish me to go to this woman and

Young man, have you no compunc-

judge. leaning forward and looking
earnestly into the blue eyes.
"Compunctions? said David, in . dry
echo of the question. "Oh! some. But

under his breath, as David passed
from the room.
Having regained his calmness by a
long walk, David hurried back and
reached the open space along the river

and street venders piled their crafts,
just in time to meet the doctor es he
drove up with his horses.

CHAPTER X.

After the doctor had vanished that
evening, David and Pepeeta passed
down the long corridor and out upon
the balcony of the old Spencer House,
TO the place appointed for the inter-
view Of the Judge. The night was
bright; refreshing breeze was blow
ing up from the river and the fire.
quent intermisslons in the gusts Of
wind that swept over the sleeping city
gave the impression that Nature was
holding her breath to listen to the
tales Of love that were being told on
city balconies and in country lanes
Under the mysterious influence of the
full moon, and of the silence, for the
noises of the city had died away, their
imaginations were aroused, their emo
tions quickened, their sensibilities
stirred. 1t seemed impossible that life
could be seriously real Their concep-
tions OF duty and responsibility were
sublimated into vague and misty
dreams, and the enjoyment OF the mo-
ments feeting pleasures seemed the
only reality and end OF life.
"Pepeeta, you have long promised
TO tell me all you knew OF your early
life; will you do 1t now?" asked Da
vid.
"Ot what possible interest can 1t be
to you?" she answered.
1T seems to me-" he replied. that
I could Iinger forever over the slight
est detail. 1t is not enough to know
what you are. wish to know how
you came to be what you are"
You must reconcile yourself to ig-
norance. the origin Of my existence is
lost in night. 1t is too sad! / do
not want to think OF anything that
happened before I met you. My life
began from that moment Before,
had only dreamed"
They ceased to speak. and sat silent
ly gazing into each others faces, the
heart OF the woman rent with a con-
nict between desire and duty. and that
Of the man by a tempest OF evil pas
sions. At that moment. a slow and
heavy step was heard In the hallway.
They looked toward the door. and in
the shadows saw a man who contem-
plated them silently for a moment and
then advanced. David rose to meet
him
Il beg your pardon" he said, feisn-
ing embarrassment Il had an srrand

her alone"
You may speak. for the gentleman
Is the friend of my husband and my
self" Pepeeta said.
Il will begin. then" he responded
'by asking II YOU recognize me?" And
at that he stepped out into the moon
light.
Pepeeta gave him a searching glance
and exclaimed In surprise, You are
the Judge who married me-"
He let his head fall upon his breast
with well ll-assumed humility, remained
moment in silence, looked up mourn
fully and said, Il would that l had
really married you, for then l should
not have been bearing this load OF
guilt that has been crushing me for
months"
At these words Pepeeta sprang from
her seat and stood before him with her
hands clasped upon her breast.
BE quick! go on!" she cried, when
she had waited in vain for him to pro-
ceed.
Prepare yourself for revelation OF
treachery and dishonor. l can conceal
peace the very stones In the street will!
cry out against me-"
Make haste." Pepeeta exclaimed,
imperatively.

man. You are not married to your
husband. l deceived you as l was
bribed to do. l was not a justice.
had no right to perform that ceremony,
1t was a solemn farce"
These words. spoken slowly, solemn
ly, and with a stimulation of candor
which would have deceived her even
IL she had not desired to believe them,
produced the most profound impress
sion upon the mind of Pepeeta She
approa ched the judge and cried: Sir. l
beg you not to trifie with me. Is what
you have told me true?"
Alas, too true"
"Oh. SIR" she cried, you cannot un
derstand; but this Is the happiest mo-
ment of my life!"
Madam" he excla lined. interroga :
lively and with consummate art.
1T is not necessary for you to know
why" she answered; but l thank
you"
What can it mean? I implore you
to tell me-" he said
DO not ask me-" she replied i
cannot tell you now. My heart Is too
full"
But does this mean that have
nothing to regret and that you have
forgiven me?"
1T does l bless you from the bot
tom Of my heart"
She gave him her hand. He took 1t
in his own and held It, looking first
at her and then at David with an ex-
preston Of such surprise as to deceive
his accomplice scarcely less than his
victim Young, inexperienced, inno-
cent in this sin at least, she stood be-
tween them-helpless.
1t is one thing for woman del1b-
erately to renounce her marriage voks,
but quite another for heart so loyal
to duty, to be be betrayed into crime
by an ingenuity worthy Of demons.
Child II misfortune that she was,
ytcti moi a series of untoward and ia
tai circumstances, she had reason all
her life to regret her credulity; but
never to reproach herself for wrong In

her, but her soul was never corrupt-
ed. She ought to have been more care

situation had been regarded for little
while from this point OF view, he felt
happier and more care-free than for
weeks. He solaCed his disappoint-
ment with the reflection that he should
still be near Pepeeta, but no longer In
any danger.
. AT this profound reflection Of the
young moth lowering about the flame
let the satirist dip his pen in acid, and
the pessimist in gall. There Is enough
folly and stupidity in the operations OF
the human mind to provoke the one to
contempt and the other to despair.

LOST HUNTERS SLEEP
UNDER THEIR BOAT
Harry Noble and Charles Smith
Are Found Safe on
Shag Rock

Good Judgment only was responsible
for the safe return of Harry Noble and
Charles Smith. the two young men who
set out in small boat early wednes-
day morning in search of wild duck.
When the police launch Patrol returned
late Wednesday night, after search of
more than two hours, and reported fall
ure. the relatives of the men feared
that the worst had happened.
The police launch cfrcled around
Shag rock, where the men were last
seen, for some time. but failed to see
or hear them. Early yesterday morn
ing the launch again set out for Shag &
rock, but came back in short time,
again reporting failure.
In the meantime a fisherman. G.. B.
Finothio Of 1147 Seventeenth avenue
South, on his way out to sea, passed
Shag rock and, noticing boat turned
upside down, ran his launch in close
and went ashore. Under the boat he
found the two lost men, sleeping peace
fully.
Noble and Smith had attempted to
make the shore several times, but had
been unsuccessful on account OF the
rough weather. When they realized
that they could not reach the shore
they pulled back 10 the rock ands In
verting their boat, made themselves
comfortable for the night.
The reason the police launch missed
them was on account Of the shallow
ness of the water near the rock. A
sand bar extends 200 feet out from
the rock. and IT was impossible for the
Patrol to run in close.

GILMAN STRICKEN
WITH HEMORRHAGE
Father of MabeIIe Gilman Corey
Lies Unconscious on a
Hospital Cot

c. H. Gilman, father of Mabelle Gill
man Corey, wife Of w. E. Corey, the
steel magnate, was stricken with hem
orrhage of the brain at noon yesterday
in a California street car while on his
way to his Office. The stricken man
lies unconscious on a cot in the central
emergency hospital.
Brooding over wrongs, which he be-
Iieved had been committed against him
by his daughter. Gilmans health has
been continually failing, according to
his children. When seen at her home,
24s Lake street, yesterday afternoon,
Miss Pearl Gilman, the eldest daughter,
declared that her father had a premoni-
ton that he would suffer from a serious
attack of brain trouble. and had re-
marked, upon leaving home yesterday,
that he would soon join his wife,
who died a year ago in this city. He
also mentioned, according to Miss Gill
man. that constant worry over his al
legged i'll treatment by Mrs. Corey had
undermined his health to such an ex-
tent that he would not live long.
For several months Gilman has been
in the employ of the German insurance
company as a broker, and it was while
he was on his way to his Office that
the attack came upon him.
More than a year ago Gilman figured
prominently in the public prints, by
declaring that his daughter Mabelle
should not marry Corey, who was then
seeking a divorce from his wife Fol-
lowing upon his denunciation of the
steel king, Mrs. Corey announced that
c. II. Gilman was not her father, but
an impostor. This Gilman denied. de-
claring that at the proper time he
would produce proof that Mrs. Corey
was his daughter. Gilman and his
youngest daughter, Eunice, vaudeville
actress. visited Pittsburg in the hope
Of seeing Mrs. Corey, but the home of
the steel magnate was denied them.
According to James Munroe Gilman,
a son, Corey has imprisoned his wife
in his New York mansion in an effort
to prevent her from contact with her
relatives. I'VE hope to send a mes
sage to my sister," declared young Gil
man last night, 'and we are almost
certain that if permitted, she will as
