the ship was abundantly provided. A
means of communication between the
ship and the shore had been found sub
sequently through one Of the seamen
who had sailed the south seas The saw
ages had been told of the treasure, of
which indeed they had some dim tradi-
tions from days gone by: they also
held the cave as one of their most sd

ONE DAY ONLY
9 a. m. to 6 p. N

The United Doctors, licensed by the
State of Ohio for the treatment OF
deformities and a,i nervous and
chronic diseases OF men, women and
children, offer to all who call on this
visit, consultation, examination and
advice free, making no charge what
ever except the actual cost of treat
ment for tbs purpose of proving that
they have at last discovered system
and method of treatments that are
reasonably sure and certain in their
results.
These Doctors are among Americas
leading stomach and nerve specialists,
and are experts in the treatment of
chronic diseases of the blood, liver,
stomach, intestines, skin, nerves,
heart, spleen, kidneys or bladder, rheu-
matism, sciatica, diabetes, bed wet
ting, tape worm, leg ulcers, weak
lungs, and those afflicted with long
standing, deep seated chronic diseases
that have batfied the skill Of other
physicians, should not fail to call.
Deafness has often been cured in sixty
days.
According to their system no more
operation for appendicitis, gall stones,
tumors, golfers, piles, etc. By their
method these cases uncomplicated are
treated without operation or hypoder-
mic injection. They were among the
first in America to earn the name Of
"Bloodless Surgeons" by doing away
with the knife, with blood and with
pain in the successful treatment Of
these dangerous diseases.
If you have kidney or bladder trou-
bles bring two ounce bottle of your
urine for chemical analysis and mi
croscopic examination.
Worn-out and rundown men or wO-
men, no matter what your ailmen
may be. no matter what you have
been told, or the experience you have
had with other physicians, settle <2c
forever in your mind If your case is
incurable they will tell you so. Con-
suit them upon this visit. 1t costs
you nothing.
Remember this free offer is for this
visit only.

visitors would return as they came,
and by keeping closely hid we might
escape an encounter with them. They
would certainly find all our goods as
soon as they crossed the reef and land

now. We had to make the best of
bad situation.
We turned and ran down the path

filed my own pockets, and then she
made a bag out Of the skirt of her
dress and carried the rest Presently
I reflected that we had no need for
such haste There would be plenty of
time for us to reach the cave and
conceal ourselves long before they
landed, SO we progressed more slowly.
1t was almost dusk when we reached
our shelter. uprooted small tree
just as we started to climb the pile
of stones. which | used as lever to
push down the heap In every direction
as we climbed. so that it would be
impossible for any one else to enter
the cave without pillng up the stones
again. We passed by the stone altar
and it's skeletons, crept into the inner
room. flung ourselves painting upon the
sand. and there we waited.
In that secret and secluded shelter
] thought that we were safe for the
time being. Especially was ] sure
that they would make no effort to find
us at night. as the place had an
ciently been some sort Of a shrine.
And in the morning I did not think
that they would chance upon that
particular cave out of the many in
the coral walls without a long search,
unless they had proposed coming just
there for other reasons than we gave
them. Even IL they did stumble upon
our hiding place early in the hunt
which | felt sure would be made for
us as soon as they discovered evidences
of our presence on the island in the
shape of the dinghy, or at least at day
break. it would take them some time
to rebuild the rock wall again; and
when they did enter the outer room
they would find it matter of extreme
difficulty to get into the inner chamber
so long as was there. Unfortunately
we had brought no powder or ball with
us. We had no means of reloading
our firearms. once they had been dis
charged. / resolved to reserve the four
pistols we had for the last emergency.
For other weapons | had my ak and
sword, to say nothing of stones and
even Of the human skulls about the al
tar.
l have said, | think, that the inner
cave was slightly damp. The damp
ness arose from spring of water
which bubbled away in some dark cor
ner which we had not cared to explore,
We had what provisions we had
brought with us left over from our
luncheon which I had luckily pre-
served instead of throwing it away,
and an armful of cocoanuts and other
fruit. These however, would last us
but a short while. II they couldn't
come at us by force they could easily
starve us out. Also they could. without
too much trouble or danger. make
themselves masters of the outer cave
Indeed, | scarcely thought it would be
wise for me to attempt to prevent that,
and in that case they could wall up the
entrance and leave us there.
