of the town.
When she perceived that he was not
moved by the sight of her, she watched
him more closely; for she said in her
girls heart that the eyes that are
blind to a beautiful woman see one of
three things: Gold. or power, or
heaven; but her sight was fixed only
on him. Then her throat was dry, her
heart fiuttered in her maiden breast
like a frightened bird. and sometimes,
when she would have tried to speak.
she felt as If her tongue were broken
and useless; the fire ran lightly along
her delicate body, her eyes saw moth
Ing clearly, and a strange rushing
sound filed her ears; and then, all at
once, a fine dew wet her forehead and
cooled 1t. and she trembled all over
and was as pale as death-like Sap
pho, when a certain god-like man was
near. Yet the stranger saw nothing,
and his look was bright and cold as a
winters morning in the mountains.
Almost every day he went out and
climbed the foothills, and when the
sun was lowering he came back bring
ing herbs and flowers, which he dried
carefully and spread between leaves
of gray paper in a large book; and he
wrote spells beside them in an IN
known tongue, so that no one dared
to touch the book when he went out

Are You Nervous
GREAT SPECIALIST TELLS WHY
YOU DON'T GET WELL.

Are you nervous? Then we say to
you that somewhere along the spine
there is very often a congestion and
you can never get well until that con-
gested spot is relieved. We have prov
en- this in hundreds OF cases, and we
can prove it to you. We have the
testimony of hundreds of grateful pa
tients to back up this great truth.
For years we have made a scientific
study of these cases. BY finding these
congested places in the spinal column
and relieving them by special treat
ments we have cured hundreds after
others failed. Many of these cases
had been ailing for years, and be-
fore coming to our office, they had
been treated by others for all kinds
of complaints except the right one.
Many complaints are caused or
kept up by congestion in the spine,
such as nervous prostration, nervous
dyspepsia. indigestion, palpitatiOn of
the heart, loss of sleep. poor mem
DRY. pain in back of neck, restless
ness, lack OF confidence, loss of
strength, easily tired. general weak
ness, or weakness of any part, back
ache, dependency, worry, hot and
cold flashes. numb feeling. paralysis,
neuralgia, female complaints, consti-
patton, nervous debility. weakness of
the heart. stomach. liver or kidneys,
cough, cold hands and feet, poor cir
culation and general weak and ner-
vous conditions of men, women and
children.
Mr.. A r. Waits of Laddsdale,
Iowa, writes: when first commence
ing with DR.. Walsh, was a perfect
wreck with nervous exhaustion. had
tried several treatments before that
time with no benefit. After taking
treatment from DR.. Walsh, l am now
feeling like a new man, and am free
from that tired and worn out feel
ing. l honestly and cheerfully rec
ommend his treatment to all sufferers
of nervousness.
Mrs. John Maroff, whose address
is Wilton Junction, Rural Route l,
says: Il suffered for long time from
stomach, heart and nervous trouble.
In fact l was so nervous and weak,
and had such great pain around the
heart and stomach that my folks new
er wanted me to be alone. When the
spells of pain would come on would
often suffer agony. For quite
while l could only eat light food.
Yet after taking DR.. Walsh's treat
ment a short time I felt just fine. 1t
is really wonderful in my case.
can't say too much in his praise
Mr.. Evi Williams of Clarksdale
suffered from kidney and nervous
trouble for years. He writes: Il am
getting along, feel stout and can eat
anything 1 like"
Mrs. William Thorne of Savannah,
says: Dr. Walsh cured my daughter
of eczema, so there is no sign of it
left. Before that she had tried many
other treatments without benefit"

an effort to bring about an utilization
with the Juvenile Aerial League of
Great Britain, organized under the
auspices of the Women's Aerial League
of London. \. Z. Horn, the instructor
of the class. says that the boys of the
United States are far in advance OF
English boys.
The boys began the work Of flying
kites, and this gave them excellent
ideas Of the atmospheric conditions.
They also visit the weather bureau at
the Central park arsenal. Almost any
one of them can roughly predict the
weather conditions. and they are now
making weather flags to fly from kites.
While the Wright biplane is popular
with the boys, it isn't the best fiier.

STUDIED BY BOYS
School Students Taking Inter
est in Aviation in New
York City.
PIONEERS IN THE SCIENCE
They Hope to Get Past the Rubber
Band Motor Stage at Some
Future Date.

New York city has a juvenile school
Of aviation in Eighty-sixth street
which has for its pupils boys Of pub
lie school II. These boys are not a
little proud of the fact that they are
pioneers in this science. for their
school was the first to introduce the
work in the physics course. These
boys have become tutors to others
less advanced in the subject and are
making copies of their best models to
be used in other schools for instruct
ing classes The boys took orders re-
Gently for two New York schools, one
from a school In Raleigh, n. c., and
two from the high school in Adrian,
MINI. Interest is growing so rapidly
that there is to be a national organ
ization with interstate meets.
Any boy who can furnish material
for one model can become a member.
The cost Of a model is about 80 cents.
The boys often reduce this expense by
trading parts. For instance, one boy
gave another piece Of aluminium for
a propeller for a piece of spruce with
which to build a frame Some Of the

where they can secure the best rub
Der bands. They also bargain their
trade secrets.
A patent Office has been Established
where a boy can protect his ideas.
The first boy to file an application
was Victor Ely, a chap about eleven
years old. He has invented a pro-
peller, made of Illuminated spruce.
which is said to give large amount of
efficiency. This is considered a val
liable invention. as it requires more
skill on the part of a boy to make a
propeller than any other part.
Oscar Schlegel has taken out patents
on an attachment OF the motive power.
Frank Hader has a patent for the ar
rangement of planes along the center
rod. and J. Brown has a device for
maintaining equilibrium. 4 catapult
for launching aeros belongs TO How
ard Mallon. Several weeks ago the
boys conceived the idea of forming Il
stock company and capitalized it at
$50. Shares of stock were issued with
a par value of 10 cents, and they have
now advanced to IL cents.

the air was like fire; and being alone
I bathed in the clear pool to cool my
self, and l found the way and brought
back the stone. which l have hidden
ever since. For if. my father and
brothers know that l have seen the
treasure they will surely kill me, be
cause the women must never learn the
secret. You see" she laughed a little,
Il am the first of US who has known
it, since many generations, and I have
already betrayed It to you! They are
quite right to kill us when we find
it QUIT"
This is an idle tale" said the trav-
eler. GO into the pool before me and
will believe and follow you under
the rock. will not go and leave you
here"
You are not very brave, though you
are so handsome, If they come and
find me here, they will kill me first"
You say it, but l do not believe It.
I think there is a deep hole in the
passage and that I shall slip into it
and be drowned. for no man could
swim in such place. I have but one
life. and / do not care to lose it in a
Waterfalls trap. You must go in and
lead the way if you wish me to trust
you"
Baraka hesitated and looked at him.
How can I do this before your"
she asked.
81 will not go alone" the man an
swered, for he suspected foul play
do as you will"
The girl took from her head the
large cotton cloth with which she
yelled herself. and folded it and laid
It down on the rock by the pool: then
she let her outer tunic of thin white
wooden fall to the ground round her
feet and stepped out of It, and folded
It also, and laid II beside her veil. and
she stood up tall and straight as a
young Egyptian goddess IN the star
light, clothed only in the plain shirt
without sleeves which the women of
her country wear night and day; and
the traveller saw her cream-white
heard her slip off her light shoes.
Il will go before you" she said;
and she stepped into the pool and
walked slowly through the water.
The traveller followed her as he
was. for he was unwilling to leave
behind him anything he valued, and
what he had was mostly in the peck
cts of his coat, and could not be
much hurt by water. Even his
pressed herbs and flowers would dry
again, his cartridges were quite wa
terproof, his letters were in an i'm
pervious case, and his money was in
coin. When he entered the pool he
took his revolver from its place and
he held it above the water in front of
him as he went on. With his other
hand he carried the sack he had
brought, which was one of those that
are made of Bokhara carpet and are
meant to sling on a camel.

stars.
This is the place" Baraka said

81 see water and a wall OF rock,
the man answered. 81 have been here
alone by day. know this place.
There is nothing here, and there is no
way up the wall"
Baraka laughed softly.
The secret could not have been
kept by my fathers for IA generations
If it were so easy to find out" she
said. The way is not easy, but I
know it"
Lead" replied the traveller. 81 will
follow"
NO" returned girl. 81 will go a
little way down the gorge and watch,
while you go in"
The man did not trust her. How
could he tell but that she had brought
him to an ambush where he was to be
murdered for the sake of his money
and his good weapon? The rubies
were real, so far as he could tell, but
they might be only a bait He shook
his head
Listen" said Baraka- AT the other
side of the pool there is a place where
the water from this spring flows away
under the rock. That is the passage"
Il have seen the entrance" an

inc a suit for $500 damages over some
clothing which the wife of the plain
tiff and mother of the defendant left.

tory. After the plaintiffs evidence
was in, Attorney Desmond moved for
a non-suit. which was denied and the
defense proceeded. The defendant tes-
tilted that he took some goods, but
not those mentioned in the complaint

mond amended his defense and then
Attorney Thresher wanted time to
plead to the amendment, and at $50
o'clock court was adjourned and the
