Has an Old RelIc OF washington.
One of the most interesting relics of
George Washington is owned by the
city of Salem. 1t is a medallion in
wood, carved after a sketch from life.
The same artist executed both
sketch and carving, which gives the
relic added value. He was Samuel Nc
Intire, native genius with a gift for
pOrtraiture. He studied Washington
when the father of his country visited
Salem on his tour of the east, and
made the medallion shortly afterward,
to adorn the arch over the west en-
trance of Washington square, Salem.
Here the e1Iigy remained from 1907
until 1850, when the arch was taken
down to give place to an iron fence,
still in use.
This Washington relic is kept in the
fireprOOf room at the Essex institute,
Salem, where it is frequently studied
by artists and others as an odd and
striking likeness of the great Ameri-
can whom no two artists pictured
alike.-BOstOn Globe:

The people Of this community are
wondering who was the mysterious
stranger who visited the ancient
adobe but a mile north of here few
evenings ago and dug up box OF

years or more, says an Oakland cor
respondent Of the San Francisco
Chronicle. 1t is supposed he carried

an early day miner who lived in this
hut while operating in the mines in
the hills east of Chico, leaving in the
early SOS with nearly $750,000 in
gold, which took six weeks to weigh
and required a pack train and strong
guard to transport out of the country.
The stranger was seen lettering
about the adobe but one evening, and
a Mr.. Fawcett, who lives near, tried
to learn his mission, but failed. The
next morning Fawcett found where
a box or can had been dug up during
the night. There were several stakes.

Don't you suppose that you have been
searched? OF course you haye-prob-
ably before / came, while you were
half dead on the floor. Somebody

why hasn't it been taken?"
For a full minute Neil made no an

come, first of all was laugh.
by George, that's good" he cried
exultingly.: "Of course you were
searched-and by Jeekum! He knows,
but he hasn't made a report of it to
Strang because he believes that in
some way he will get hold of the
money. He is taking big risk-but
he's winning! / wonder what his first
scheme was?"
Thought I'd bury it, perhaps"
vouchsafed Nathaniel, throwing him
self upon the straw. There's room
for two here, Neil"
A long silence fell between them.
The action during the last few min
utes had been too great an effort for
Nathaniel and his wound troubled him
again. AS the pain and his terrible
thoughts of Marion's fate returned to
him he regretted that they had not
ended it all in one last fight at the
door. There. at least. they might have
died like men instead of waiting to be
shot down like dogs, their hands
bound behind them, their breasts
naked to the Mormon rifles. He did
not fear death. In more than one
game he had played against its hand,
more often for love of the sport than
not, but there was a horror in being
penned up and tortured by it. He had
come to look upon it as fair enemy,
filled, of course, with subterfuge and
treachery, which were the laws Of the
game; but he had never dreamed of it
as anything but merciful in it's quick
ness. It was as if his adversary had
broken an inviolable pact with him
and he sweated and tossed on his bed
of straw while Neil sat cool and silent
on the bench against the dungeon
wall. Sheer exhaustion brought him
He was awakened by Neil. The
white face of Marion's brother was
over him when he opened his eyes and
he was shaking him roughly by the
shoulder

heavens sake-Wake up!"
He drew back as Nathaniel sleepily
reused himself.
81 couldn't help it, Nat" he apollo
gized, laughing nervously. You've
lain there like a dead man for hours.
My head is splitting with this damned
silence. Come-smoke up! got some
tobacco from our jailer and he loaned
me his pipe"
Nathaniel jumped to his feet. A
fresh candle was burning on the table
and in it's light he saw that a startling
change had come into NeiIs face dur
ing the hours he had slept. 1t looked

Nathaniel dug the gold pieces out

sheriff. white with the knowledge of
the risk he was taking. "An hour ago
Wlnnsome came out of the house and
went into the woods. My boy fol-
lowed. She ran to the lake, got into
skiff, ana rowed straight out to sea.
She is following your instructions!"
In his excitement he betrayed him
self. He had read the note.
There came a sound up the corridor,
the opening of a door, the echo of
voices, and Jeekum leaped back. Ma
thaniels foot held the cell door from
closing
Where is Marion?" he cried softly,
his heart standing still with dread.
Great God-what about Marionr"
For an instant the sheriff's CHASTITY
face was pressed against the opening.
Marion has not been seen since
morning. The kings officers are
searching for her"
The door slammed, the chains
clanked loudly, and above the sound
of Jeekum's departure Neirs voice
rose in muff1ed cry of Joy.
They are gone! They are leaving
the island!"
Nathaniel stood like one turned
into stone. His heart grew cold with
in him. When he spoke his words
were passionless echoes of what had
been.
"You are sure that Marion would
kill herself as soon as she became the
wife Of Strange" he asked
"Yes-before his vile hands touched
more than the dress she wore!"
shouted Neil.
"Then Marion is dead" replied Ma
thaniel, as coldly as though he were
talking to the walls about him. For
last night Marion was forced into the
harem of the king"
AS he revealed the secret whose
torture he meant to keep imprisoned
IN his own breast he dropped upon the
pallet Of straw and buried his face
between his arms, cursing himself
that he had weakened in these last
hours of their comradeship.
He dared not look to see the effect
of his words on Neil. His companion
uttered no sound. Instead there was
a silence that was terrifying.
At the end of 1t Neil spoke in a
voice so strangely calm that Nathaniel
sat up and stared at him through the
gloom.
81 believe they are coming after
us, Nat. Listen!"
The tread of many feet came to
them family from beyond the corridor
wall.
Nathaniel had risen. They drew
close together and their hands
clasped
Whatever it may be-" whispered
Neil, may God have mercy on our
souls!"
"Amen!" breathed Captain Plum.

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

II can't tell in words how happy the
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for it
cured my baby of itching, torturing
eczema. 1t first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on her head. I used every
thing imaginable and had one doc
tors bill after another, but nothing
cured it. Then the eczema broke out
so badly behind her ear that l really
thought her ear would come off. For
months l doctored it but to no avail.
Then it began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. 1 had to
keep her in a dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so l
stopped him coming
For about two weeks I had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then | got box of Cuticura Ointment
there was a marked improvement. In
all used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and one box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured Of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not a
scar on her. l can not praise Cuti-
cura enough, I can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without a sore. From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption, but now, thanks to
Cuticura, I have a we'll child" (Sign-

but the eldest son of the Swiss en-.
gineer, Herr Brandt, who built the
Simplon tunnel and died in 1908, is
paying 100000 with the utmost sat

covered that Brandt possessed So.

Inasmuch as some of these birds
live entirely on the shore and are

CHAPTER X.-Continued.

He shrieked the words again and
again, maddened beyond control, and
the Mormon king, whose self-posses-
sion was more that of devil than man,
still held the struggling girl in his
arms as he turned his head toward
the voice and saw Nathanieps long
arm and knotted fist threatening him
through the hole in the wall Then
Neil's name in piercing scream re-
sounded through the dungeon corridor
and in response to 1t the man under
Nathaniel Strengthened himself so
quickly that his companion fell back
to the floor.
Great God! what is the matter,
Nat? Quick! let me up!"
Nathaniel staggered to his feet, the
breath half gone out of his body, and
in another instant Neil was at the
opening. The great room into which
he looked was empty.
What was it?" he cried, leaping
down. What were they doing with
Winnsome?"
ut was the king" said Nathaniel,
struggling to master himself. "The
king put his arms around Winnsome
and-she struck him."
That was all?"
HE kissed her as she fought-and
1 yelled"
"She struck him!" Neil cried. God
bless little Winnsome, Nat! and-God
bless her!"
Neil's breath came fast as he caught
the others hand.
I'D give my life if 1 could help you
and Marion!"

thaniel coolly, turning down the cor
ridor Here's our chance. They'll

1T would be madness-worse than
madness!" interposed Neil, steadying
himself. There will be a dozen
rifles at that door when they open
It. We must return to the CELL 1t is
worth dying a harder death to hear
from Marion and Winnsome. And we
will hear from them before night"
They reiterated into the dungeon.
A few minutes later the door opened
cautiously at the head of the corri-
dor A light blazed through the black
ness and after an interval of silence
the jailer made his appearance in
front of the cell, pistol in his hand.
Don't be afraid, Jeekum," said Neil
reassuringly. You forgot the door
and we've been having little fun
with the jury. That's ALL"
The nervous Wilderness left Jee-
kum's face at this cheerful report and
he was about to close the door when
Nathaniel exhibited a handful of gold
pieces in the candle-light and frantic
ally beckoned the man to come in.
The jailers eyes glittered understand
ingly and with a backward glance
down the lighted corridor he thrust
his head and shoulders inside.
Five hundred dollars for that
motel" he whispered. Five hundred

"Jeekum's fool" said Neil, as the
door closed on them. 81 feel sorry for
