DR.. Stevens, the heart specialist, and
Pauline, his adopted daughter, was on her
knees chatting his hands and anxiously
watching his face, while Owen, the
secretary, was pouring out a dose of his
medicine. But the peculiar yellow light
had gone, And what about the mummy
1t stood just as he had left it, the lower
half of the case was in place, the upper
half was out revealing the loosened
bandages and just a glimpse of the fore.

down. All was just as it was when the
little vial had fallen out.
I'm all right, I'm all right, protested
Mr.. Marvin, somewhat testify, as he
twisted about in his chair to get a good
view of the mummy. Look, out Harry,
don't step on that little bottle.
Harry looked down and picked up the
tiny vial which had fallen from the band,

Harry shifted and remarked that it
smelled musty and passed it to Pauline.
The girl carried it to her nostrils again

the old man.

sympathized Pauline
"Not horrible at all. She was a beauty
and a princess She was interested in
your picture, Polly, and she looked like
you, too, except, let's see-yes, her hair
was black, jet black, like that one lock
you see hanging down

CAR TURNS TURTLE
Manila Gentlemen in Automobile
Spill-John Meenan Suffers a
DisIocated Shoulder

Manila, March 17-As John Nee
han, James Mcmahon and Ed McCul-
Tough were driving on Main street in
Mr. McMahon's car last evening about
5 o'clock the car turned turtle. They
were driving south and opposite the
old Burlington livery barn when the
car suddenly turned completely over
and sat in an upright position as
though nothing had happened. Mr..
Meehan was driving and it is supposed
he held the steering gear loose hand
ed, thus causing the accident. Messrs.
Mcmahon and Mccullough escaped
uninjured, but Mr.. Meehan was uncon.
scious for short time and suffered
fractured arm and a dislocated
shoulder. He wore heavy fur over
coat and it is thought that this less
ened the injury somewhat. Mr.. Nee
han was taken to his home here in
town and is resting easy at present.
The car was unhurt and was driven
to the garage after the accident.

council were renOminated. Mr.. Arm
strong will no doubt prove good man
on the council, but Mr.. Nielsen was
very instrumental in having the city
take over the light plant and he should
have been continued, in order that the
work of carrying out the wishes of the
people as regards the light plant was
completed. Mr.. Armstrong is we'll

1t is said by many of the voters that
the citizens caucus of last evening
will probably be the last of it's kind.
A second trial of the dictates of a few
men has again gone down in defeat
and the adherents of both political
parties will demand change in the
future. Many of the democratic lead
ers deplore the fact that Mr.. Caswell
should declare himself a dictator and
come out for republican merely for
the honor of naming possible mayor
of the city, and they will see to it
that the act is not repeated and they
very Justly repudiated his actions at
