saved me from that folly. He struck,

for it to do. Almost before we re-

GOOD NEWS FOR
CATARRH SUFFERERS

So many hundreds of catarrh vic
tins who have taken the Hyomei
treatment have written thanking us
for publishing our method of taking
the Hyomei vapor treatment in con-
nection with the inhaler that we
gladly publish it again.
The vapor treatment is especially
recommended in stubborn cases of
chronic catarrh of long standing, but
remember that the inhaler should be
used daily as usual.
This treatment only takes FIVE
minutes time before going to bed.
Pour a teaspoonful of Hyomei into
a bowl of boiling water, cover head
and bowl with towel and breathe for
several minutes the vapor that
arises.
You will be surprised at the result
of this treatment; il makes the head
feel fine and clear; you will sleep
better, and that stuffed up feeling
will gradually disappear
This method will break up the
worst cold in the head in one night.
A bottle of Hyomei costs so cents
at the Harper house pharmacy who
guarantee it Complete outfit, which
includes the little pocket inhaler,
costs 81.
No stomach dosing, just breathe
Hyomei and cure catarrh and all dis
eases of the breathing organs. Free

what his intention was. He looked
sagacfous, talked valiantly, but did
nothing. Still, it was absurd to think
that he was afraid, as organ sug-
gested.
"You can never TELL" Organ said
when 1 laughed at the idea. "Such
stronghold might brighten the bravest
man"
Between our encampment and the
city ran a broad river, full of strange
and unexpected currents and of i'm
mense depth, so Organ told me. The
city lay obliquely to the river in the
form of a rough triangle, the city gates,
as 1 afterward found, being situated
at the angles at the base of this tri-
angle, and the city rose from this base
gradually toward the huge rock which
formed the apex of the triangle. This
rock, which was the only part of the
city which actually touched the river,
rose sheer out of the water for at
least 600 feet. with hardly n birds
foothold upon it. 1t was the dominant
feature, towering above the highest
part Of the city, presenting a problem
as to how access was obtained to the

a problem was destined to solve later.
The fortress seemed to be cut out of
the solid rock.
For several days we encamped idly
before Yadasara. The enemy had re-
crossed the river by means of bridge
of boats nearly two miles higher up the
stream, but we made no attempt to fol-
low them. was doubtful if they had
ever crossed it in great force. AS far
as one could judge, there was no ex-
element in the city.

1 could not mistake his meaning. I
could not afford to underplay my part.
'It shall be no laggard's campaign,
then, 1 promise you, Sir Walen," I an
swered.
That night, being sleepless, stole
out of camp to the river. Suddenly
there was sound near me. stepped
back quietly into the darker shadow
of a tent and listened There was no
mistaking the sound now-stealthy
feet-and the next moment two figures
