DANGEROUS OEBIlllY

Debility may result from number oi carases-vorry, aiter-effects of acute ill., ness, lack of nourishment due to dis ordered digestion, or anything that makes the blood thin, thereby preventing it from carrying health and nourishment to the tissues of the body.
 The symptoms of debility vary but weakness is always present, often a ten- dency to fatigue easily, ringing in the ears, black spots passing before the eyes, weak back, dizziness, wakculness caused by inability to stop thinking, and unre- freshing sleep.
 Debility is dangerous because it weak ems the body's defence against disease. For instance, debilitated people take cold easily and winter is always trying time for them. When ono cold follows another the system surely needs build ing up.
 The treatment of such rundown con- ditions with Dr. Williams Pink Pills is based on sound medical principles and common sense. These pills build up the blood so that it nourishes every part of the body, nerves as we'll aa muscles and brings vigor, strength and health:

Washington. Feb. 19.-Guns of greater range and power than any that could be arrayed against them were asked for American coast de- lenses, in report of the army board submitted by Secretary Garrison and made public yesterday by the house appropriation committee.

LAST OF NotoR|ouS
 JAMES GANG DEAD

 Excelsior Springs, Mo-.

Excelsior Springs, Mo, Feb. 19.- Frank James, one of the last surviv- ing members of the notorious James gang, died on his farm near here late yesterday afternoon. James who was "A years old, has been in i'll health for several months and was stricken with apoplexy early yesterday.
 Last of Robber Band.
 One of the last members of noto- rious robber band, whose unparal- leled career of crime during the Civ il war and the unsettled period that followed kept the people of a dozen states in terror, Frank James had been living the quiet life of farm CT for more than thirty years.
 The son of a minister, respected throughout the community, Frank James joined Quantrell's guerillas in the Civil war, together with his brother Jesse, and took part ill the sacking of Lawrence, Kansas.
 Soon Become Outlaws.
 When the war came to an end they were hunted far and wide by rela- tives of those who had met death at their hands. Driven here and there, they soon became outlaws. Many mo- torious crimes of the decade follow ing the war have been laid at the door of the mes-Younger gang of which the surviving members were Frank James and Cole Younger, the latter of whom is now living at Lees Summit, Mo.
 Among these deeds were: Raids on the Commercial bank, Liberty, Mo-, in 1866. The bank defender was killed and $70,O00 was stolen.
 -f bank in 1S6S-for $50,00O.
 Long Lists of Crimes.
 Bank robberies at Galatea, Mo-, in 1868, in which the cashier, Captain John w. Sheets, was murdered.
 Robbery of bank at Columbia, Ky, in which R. A. G. Martin, cash fer, was killed. This was in 1872.
 Raid on a bank at Corydon, Iowa, in which $40,000 was stolen in 1873.
 The wrecking and robbing of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific train near Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 1873.
 The engineer was killed, the fire man wounded and several passen- gers injured.
 Punished Wrong Persons.

Mo-, on January 2b, 1875, and threw lighted bomb into the house thinking to kill the James brothers. It exploded, tearing off the arm of their mother and killing their brother Archie. Although the James boys participated in hundreds of rob- berries it is now generally believed that there were also hundreds of robberies charged up to them of which they were innocent.
 In 1882, after Jesse James had been shot and killed in his home in St. Joseph, Mo-, by Bob Ford, also a bandit, for a reward of $5O,OOO, Frank James surrendered in Jeffer- son City Mo. He was sentenced to life Imprisonment in the penitentiary but after few years he developed symptoms of tuberculosis and was pardoned by the governor.

CHAPTER VIII.
THE PAST.


Crohoor-beg commenced by inform
ing me somewhat in the manner of a
professional story teller or historian
about to deliver a lecture that Ireland
was at one time filled with monstrous
reptiles, ugly and horrible, which preyed
upon the people. So much 1 knew and
also that st. Patrick had banished
them, all but few which fingered on
after his time in remote mountain lakes,
but Crohoor said that though this might
be true Of other parts of the country it
was not st. Patrick who had banished
the great piast of this region, but a
man called Cuhoolin. The name of the
piast he said was Eooree, and that aft
er terrible battle Cuhoolin had con-
quered her, driven her into the sea, and
put her under spells to remain there till
the day of judgment, when, according to
Crohoor, she will be cast forever into
hell and the door shut; also Cuhoolin
put spells upon her that she should not
have power to eat men only once and
again and between times. Crohoor went
on to inform me that when his father
was little boy some men had been lost
while fishing off this coabt, and it was
believed they had been eaten by the
piast. A panic took possession of the
whole country, go that fishing ceased.
There was at the time in this country
very good and holy priest who had un-
usual influence over the minda If the

Indeed we never called them anything
but cave pigeons. But where was the
cave? 1t now occurred to me that Jack,
having got fast to some unusually large
fish-the sunfish, for example, could do
it-had been drawn into and under the
sea. knew that under such circum-
stances he would not let go his rod, and
that while under the water l suspect
ed that he had been sucked through a
submarine tunnel into some unknown
and otherwise inapproachable interior
cavern and had been unable to redis-
cover or retrace the passage by which
he had entered. This cavern, thought,
might communicate with the open air
or with one of the many ordinary caves
or assures along the coast by some mar
row outlet through which his carrier
pigeons might have escaped. Improb-
able as was this theory, it was the
most probable that I could frame and
was in fact rather near the truth. All
the theories and surmises of the police
contained one or more incredible as
SYMPTOMS. I procured the services of
the same diver who had been formerly
employed by Mr.. Watkins. For more
than three weeks under my superintend-
ence he made submarine searchings of
the kind indicated on either side of
Dhu-Corrig and to considerable dis
lance each way. All was, however, in
vain. The diver gave up first. He said
it was sin to waste any more of my
fathers money and his own time. With
my fathers sanction now wrote to
the board of works in Dublin asking
them to send me another. Mr.. Harris,
the man whom I employed, obstinatelv
refused to go on with the search. This
diver was actually on his way down
from Dublin, when-[when in fact

just as suddenly and unaccountably as
his brother had donel.

and we can get home from that without

well, they rowed on in that manner
till they came opposite the square hole
in the big, straight cleft"
What hole is that" said Samuel
Watkins, at your service.
I'm surprised your honor hash I
noticed it," replied Crohoor, ''but in
deed unless it was pointed out to him q
person might not see 1t.
Your honor knows the big, smooth,
straight cliff between your COOS and
Dhu-C orrig?"
Certainly" said. But I'm a lit
tie shortsjghted and never noticed that
hole"
well, sir, up high in that cliff there
is a square hole and big enough, too,
though it looks small from the water.
They were nearing this place when
Shaun O'Flaherty stopped rowing and
crossed himself and said:
"'Teigue Rue, I'm greatly afeard.'
"'Afeard of what?' says Teigue Rue.
"'Of the pasta wohr, he says. Sure,
this is her favorite locality between
Dhu-C orrig and the Coos Ian -dorcha-
that is to say, the Black rock and the
Coos Of Darkness-and sure they say
that it is through Cooree's window she
comes out and goes in again through
the same and has her nest there.
Then Teigue Rue spoke words about
the piast, and though I we'll remember
them l won t say them in your honor's
presence, and he fell to beating Shaun
O'Flaherty to make him quit his nom
sense and be rowing the same as for
merly. Then the gossoon screamed with
an awful and terrible cry that was
