was nothing for breakfast II we did
not have It on the table.
II had been troubled some time
with my heart, which did not feel
right. This trouble grew worse steadily.
Sometimes It would beat fast and
at other times very slowly. SO that

an hour or two after breakfast. and II
walked up q hill, 1t gave me a Sc

II had no idea of what the trouble
was until friend suggested that per.
haps 1t might be caused by coffee
drinking. I tried leaving OF the coffee
and began drinking Postum. The
change came quickly. I am now glad
to say that I am entirely well Of the
heart trouble and attribute the relief
to leaving OF coffee and the use OF
Postum.
"A number Of my friends have aban.
doned the old fashioned coffee and
have taken up with Postum, which
they are using steadily. There are
some people that make Postum very
weak and tasteless, but II 1t is boiled
long enough. according to directions.
1t is n very delicious beverage. We
have never used any Of the old fash
toned coffee since Postum was first
started in our house"

THE ROAD TO POPULARITY

But II is Not Always Safe to
Trust It.

THE way to be popular has been ex-
planned by one of the marshmallow

the idea that it is directing modern
life. when you shake hands with
q man." runs the recipe. grasp the
hand as though you were glad to see
the owner. look him in the eye, and
give him a smile from your heart"
This is sure-enough recipe. 1t
has been worked by some of the great
est frauds In Christendom to subserve
their own ends. The man who Is
seeking popularity. posing for 1t,
angling for 1t, usually doesn't deserve
it. Keep your admiration for men
who show you their real selves. who.
when they are bothered or worried.
Or mad, or glad. make it manifest by
appropriate facial expression, and
who are not constantly standing them

SYNOPSIS.

Of John Stephens. adventurer. a Massa
chusetts man marooned by authorities at
Valparaiso. Chile. Being interested in
mining operations in Bolivia. he was de-
nounced by Chile as an insurrectionist
and as a consequence was hiding. At his
hotel his attention was attracted by an
IAglishman and young woman.

a drunken officer. He was thanked by
her. Admiral OF the Peruvian navy con-
fronted Stephens. told him that war had
been declared between Chile and Peru
and offered him the office of captain. He
desired that that night the Esmeralda, a
Chilean vessel. should be captured.
Stephens accepted the commission.
Stephens met a motley crew. to which he
was assigned. He gave them final In

In Which We Gain the Deck.

In Which We Gain the Deck.
I paused a moment amid the dense
shadows to reflect more carefully upon
some Of the details Of our nights

realized the desperate nature OF this
adventure upon which I was so reck-
lessly embarked. Could We once at

make our attack with sufficient swift

without great risk OF discovery. bar

very audacity of such an attempt was
strongly in our favor. II we succeeded
in silently warping the Esmeralda be-
yond range OF the guns OF the shore

ger would be over. Probably not a
war vessel in the harbor had steam
up. and. II they did. no Chilean war
ship could hope to overhaul us when

Besides, Jack ashore and Jack at sea

steadied somewhat by the perils OF
their position, and exhilarated by the
promised reward, they would doubtless
prove efficient enough. Tuttle might
require q lesson in sea etiquette. and.
II he did. l felt perfectly confident OF
my ability to administer 1t promptly
and forcibly. As for De Nova, 1 had
no doubt that he would prove himself
a good man. So. altogether. my spirits
rose as I thus contemplated a definite
plan Of action.
The movement on the water was

KETCHEL'S BELT
IS FOUND AGAIN
Famous Diamond Studded Relic
of Prize Ring Located by
BeIb0y

Stanley Ketchels famous diamond
belt. which was lost about eight
months ago, has been found. While
Herbert Spencer, a bellboy at the ST.
Francis hotel. was spending a quiet
Sunday morning rearranging the odd
bags and grips in the baggage room he
ran across a well worn case contain
ing the much priced relic. He imme-
diately reported the find to Thomas
heatlng, the superintendent of serv-
ice of the hotel, and in less than half
an hour wire had been sent to the
middle weight champion, advising him
that his prize had been located
Ketchel's diamond belt has had a
long and interesting history It origin
ally adorned the waist line of Harry
Maynard. an oldtime lightweight. who.
TO further his claims to the champion
snip, had the belt made for himself
The diamond studded symbol of might
mess brought no luck to Maynard,
however, and he hooked" it Since
that time various prize fighters have
redeemed it and held it as their own.
1t is said that in the last Is years it
has been locked away in the safe of
every pawnshop in the city
James Cofroth saved it at the time
of the fire. Later it came into Luke
Marisch's possession, who turned it
over to the Michigan lion when the
latter won the middle weight cham
pionship. Kethel took the treasure
to a goldsmith and had Maynard's S
name erased and his own engraved
1t was last January, when Ketchel
was at the height of his pugilistic
career, that the belt was lost. Ketchel
was speeding about in his new touring
car and enjoying the glare of the
night incandescents, so when he limited
that the belt was somewhere about the
st. Francis hotel his theory was
doubted. Gus Hartman was asked by
Ketchel to seek the whereabout of the
belt, and the senator engaged a corps
of sleuths, but to no avail.
