who paced up and down. He was
firmly planted on his legs: his
feet struck the deck squarely and
with surety: every movement of
muscle, from the heaye of the
shoulders to the tightening of the
lips about the cigar, was decisive,
and seemed to come out of a
strength that was excessive and
overwhelming. In fact, though
this strength pervaded every ac-

SHADOW LIFTED FROM MANY LIVES WHEN
BABY TEDDY Is AWARDED FORTUNE

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1S.-
Confirmation by the British Chan
Gerry court of the legitimacy OF
Teddy. SON of former Lieutenant
and Mrs. Charles r. Slingsby and
his heirship to an Yorkshire es-
tate of $500. zoe, adds another
important chapter to one OF the
most sensational changeling cases
ever recorded.
The final outcime in the alleged
conspiracy charges firt made here
over three years ago now rests
with the House of Lords on APP
peal.
Not alone a fortune and the
clear name of a little innocent
were involved. but the reputation
of a California high school girl,
Lillian Anderson, who was set
down in the records as the mother
of the boy claimed as their own
by the Slingsbys.
: Featured here by heated clash
es between a superior court Judge
and the district attorney of San
Francisco, by grand jury inves-
tigation, charges of ramifying
conspiracy, falsifications of rec
ords, testimony by a nurse that
she burned the dead child OF the
Slingsbys, and the arrest of DR..
William Frazer on a charge of
classifying public documents, the
case was finally transferred to
London.
The challenge of four-year-old
Teddy's legitimack was raised by
Earl Robert Slingsby of Brighton,
England, a younger brother Of
the former lieutenant, who alleg-
ed that Mrs. Charles Slingsby had
substituted the infant of Lillian
Anderson for her own when the
latter died at birth in a San Fran
cisco hospital, in order to get the
100000. The children of Earl
Slingsby would have been next in
succession.
The English Chancery court
held that this statement and sup
porting testimony had been in

dripping its contents to the deck.
The dying man beat tattoo on
the hatch with his heels, straight
ened out his legs, and stiffened in
one great tense effort, and rolled
his head from side to side. Then
the muscles relaxed the head
stopped rolling. and a sigh, as of
profound relief, floated upward
from his lips. The jaw dropped,
the upper lip lifted, and two rows
OF tobacco-discolored teeth ap-
peared. 1t seemed as though his
features had frozen into dia-
bolical grin at the world he had
left and outwitted.
Then a most surprising thing
occurred. The captain broke
loose upon the dead man like a
thunderclap. Oaths rolled from
his lips in continuous stream.
And they Were not namby-pam by
oaths, or mere expressions of in
decency. Each word was bias
phemy, and there were many
words. They crisped and cracked
like electric sparks. / had never
heard anything like it In my life,
nor could ! have conceived II pos
sible. With a turn for literary
expression myself, and a PEN
chant for forcible figures and
phrases, appreciated, as no
other listener, | dare say. the Pc
culiar vividness and strength and
absolute blasphemy of his meta
phors. The cause of 1t all, as
near as | could make out, was
that the man, who was mate, had
gone on a debauch before leaving
San Francisco, and then had the
poor taste to die at the beginning
of the voyage and leave Wolf Lar
sen short-handed.
II should be unnecessary to
state, at least to my friends, that
was shocked. Oaths and vile
language of any sort had always
been repellent to me. 1 felt a
willing sensation, sinking at
the heart, and, might just as
well say, giddiness. To me,
death had always been invested
with solemnity and dignity. 1t

AN EASY WAY TOEND
cATARRH FOREVER

Simple Home Treatment Destroys
Germs of This Dangerous Disease
The reason why so many people
who suffer from Catarrh never
seem able to get cured is that
they are continually seeking the
momentary relief of sprays,
douching, greasy creams. ONT
ments, etc. Such things do open
up the swollen nostrils and clear
the head temporarily. but they
never cure. To drive out Catarrh
for good you have got to get
down to its real cause. Catarrh
is a germ disease. The air Is al
ways full of catarrh germs thrown
off by one person and absorbed
by another, and when the system
does fail to throw off such germs
they find permanent Judgement in
the nose, throat and head and
multiply rapidly.
The germs of catarrh can be
best destroyed by inhaling the
pure indicated air of Hyomei
pronounced High-o-mee). This
splendid and powerful combina-
ton of oil of Eucalyptus with
other healing agents has Won
derful germicidal action. You
breathe it's air into your nose,
throat and lungs by means Of a
small hard rubber inhaler which
the Crown Drug Co. and other
leading druggists here in Tacoma
and vicinity supply with every
treatment. This medicated air is
certain death to the germs of Ca
tarrh and drives them completely
out of your system and when the
germs are destroyed the catarrh
with all its disagreeable symp-
toms will stop. Even two or three
minutes use will give refreshing
relief, while, If you will use it two
or three times a day for a few
weeks 1t will completely Danish
catarrh and every symptom of ca
tarrh. AS Hyomei is pleasant to
breathe and is always sold by
druggists everywhere with a posi-
tive guarantee of successful re-
suits or money back, surely no
Catarrhal sufferer should go long
before trying this simple home
remedy.

was the man whose casual glance
had rescued me from the sea. His
height was probably five feet ten
inches, or ten and half; but my
first impression, or feel of the
man, was not of this, but of his
strength. And yet, while he was
OF massive build, with broad
shoulders and deep chest, / could
not characterize his strength as
massive. 1t was what might be
termed a sinewy, knotty strength,
OF the kind We ascribe to lean and
wiry men. but which, in him, be-
cause OF his heavy build, par
took more of the enlarged gorilla
order. Not that in appearance he
seemed in the least gorilla-like.
What | am striving to express is
this strength itself, more as a
thing apart from his physical
semblance. 1t was strength we
are wont to associate with things
primitive, with wild animals, and
the mreatures we imagine our
tree-dwelling prototypes to have
been-a strength savage, fero-
cious, alive in itself, the essence
of life in that 1t is the potency of
motion, the elemental stuff itself
out OF which the many forms of
life have been nodded; In sort,
that which writes in the body of
snake when the head is cut off,
and the snake, as a snake, is dead,
or which fingers in a shapeless
lump of turtle-meat and recoils
and quivers from the prod of
finger.
Such was the impression of

Johnson looked puzzled and
embarrassed. He hesitated while

framed complete answer. "The

Johnson turned obediently to

with an amazingly solemn and
portentous wink, as though to en-
phasize his interrupted remark

ing the captain about what ar
rangements could be made fol

A cheap cotton shirt, with fray

with what / took to be ancient
blood-stains, was put on me amid
a running and apologetic fire OF
comment. A pair of workman'i

and stirred with dim memories of

stepped out on deck. | was still
weak from my prolonged INNER
sion. A puff of wind caught me,
and staggered across the moving
deck to a corner of the cabin, to
which chung for support. The
schooner, heeled over far out
from the perpendicular, was bow
ing and plunging into the long
Pacific roll. III she were heading
southwest as johnson had said,
the wind, then, / calculated, was
blowing nearly from the south.
The fog was gone, and in its place
the sun sparkled crisply on the
surface of the water. / turned to
the east, where l knew California
must lie, but could see nothing
save low-lying fog banks-the
same fog, doubtless, that had
brought about the disaster to the
Martinez and placed me in my
present situation. To the north,
and not far away, a group of
naked rocks thrust above the sea,
on one of which / could distin-
guish lighthouse. In the south
west, and almost in our course,
saw the pyramidal loom of some
vessels sails.
Having completed my survey
| of the horizon, l turned to my
more immediate surroundings. My
first thought was that man who
had come through a collision and
rubbed shoulders with death mer-
tied more attention than / re-
ceived. Beyond a sailor at the
wheel who stared curiously across
the top of the cabin, l attracted
no notice whatever.
Everybody seemed interested in
what was going on amidships.
There, on hatch, large man
was lying on his back. He was
fully clothed, though his shirt was
ripped open in front. Nothing
was to be seen of his chest, how
ever, for it was covered with a
mass of black hair, in appear
ance like the furry coat of dog.
His face and neck were hidden
beneath a black beard, intershot
with gray, which would have been
stiff and bushy had 1t not been
limp and dragged and dripping
with water. His eyes were closed,
and he was apparently uncon-
scious; but his mouth was wide
open, his breast heaving as
though from suffocation as he la
bored noisly for breath. A sailor,
! from time to time and quite
methodically, as matter of rou-
tine, dropped canvas bucket into

hauled 1t in hand under hand, and
