At Brotman's Rialto.

Five methods of death, such as
only the ingenuity. of a fiendish
mind can conceive. are put into OPP
era ion to end the life of the legatee
of rich mines in California, so that
the other heir may become sole
possessor. John Davis wards off the
successive thrusts of blade direct
ed toward his bosom in the dead of
night; survives a fall from a sheer
cliff, over which he is pushed by an
unknown enemy; is saved from an
arrow sent to pierce him through
his cabin window by the interces-
sion of his sweetheart: trounces a
thug who has designs on his life,
and then clutches a sapling in the
nick Of time to save himself from
being carried to the bottom of
ravine with a coIlapsing bridge.
But the sapling to which he clings
Is severed by a revolver shot and
John Davis goes hurting to the bot
tom of the ravine. Did his foe at last
accomplish his purpose in this sixth
attempt upon his life?
To get>a clue to this mystery, see

Mountain" which is entitled "A
