Ever since Scheele, in 1915, discov-

is the almost universal opinion of our
best medical men that the presence of
uric acid in the system in excess is the

the urate salts are precipitated out of
the blood into the solid tissue-structure
the person suffers from govt or rheu-

FIFTEENTH EPISODE
The Flag of Truce.

Realizing that the game was up with
them, and feeling that there was
chance of saving their major, the
American troopers, who had fought so
bravely against the terrible onslaught
of Lopez and his band, hastily scoOped
out hole in the sand and thrust the
courageous commander into it. The
old fighter protested, informing them
he would rather die with his men. But
he was too severely wounded to resist,
After seeing that their major was
made as comfortable as possible, the
soldiers rushed back to their comrades
md plunged into the battle again.
Lopez was delighted with this days
work, and, as he stood back of his
kexicans and watched their ferOciouS
attacks on the little band of Ameri-
cans, who fought madly against such
tremendous odds, he could not refrain
from sneering. 1t was the most impor-
tant conflict he had participated in since
he became the leader of the insurrec-
toS.
Not until every American trooper

let in him did Lopez give the order to
cease firing. Then he gave one glance
around the battlefield, and, with COM
plete satisfaction over the results he
had achieved, he walked proudly to his
horse and leaped into the saddle. Then
he ordered his men to mount their
horses, and when all was ready the
band rode slowly out of the valley.
The sun was just pushing its nose
above the eastern line of the desert
just beyond the valley, as the last
smoke from the guns was ascending
towards the high peaks, which rose or
either side of Diablo pass. 1t was not
day for the sun to shine upon, and
as it gradually rose higher and higher
1t seemed to be smiling an approval OF

down by Mexicans, NJ Il time when the
two governments were supposed To be
enjoying friendly relationship. In the
meantime the United States govern
ment officials were carrying on nego-
tiations, and the man who was respon-
sible for the blood that had been shed
during time of peace was permitted
to go on his way, robbing and killing.
Meanwhile Liberty and Pedro had
reached the prison at chihuahua. This
building was one of the oldest in Mex
leo, and was built in the days proceed
ing the invasion by the Spaniards I'M
der fernando Cortez. The Aztecs had
used it as fortress, and it was said
that the last emperor of Mexico, Mon
tezuma, was imprisoned and slain
within its walls. 1t had been used dur
ing the uprisngs which occurred in the
Diaz and Madero regimes, but previ-
Gus to that had been deserted for fifty
years or more.
At the prison doors the two prison
ers were separated, Liberty being
taken to one of the underground dun
geons, while Pedro was thrust into one
of the big cells on the main floor, with
two guards to keep close watch over
him.
Pedro, who was tired and footsore
from his long tramp, threw himself on
the floor and was soon sound asleep.

He was awakened by voices, and, as he

ing heavily from two bottles of CHEAP
