His adventures began Immediately
At his first stop he was cheated out
Of his mule; as he was eating his din.
ner willy flatterer invited himself to
be his guest and showed his gratitude
by the good advice never to be taken
In by praise. He had to pay an exor-
bitant reckoning and went on his way,

raids. In one Of them they captured
Dona Mencia, wife Of the Marques de
la Guardia, and brought her to their
cavern. Gil Bias pretended to be Ill
and escaped with the grateful lady.
He was arrested as one Of the ban.
dts and as he was wearing clothes
recognized by one Of their victims, and
his pockets were full Of money, he
was thrown into Jail. After several
weeks Imprisonment his innocence
was established, but the jailer had
robbed him Of everything.
At Burgos he sought out Dona Men
cha who presented him with a hun
dred ducats and costly ring.
He bought a pretentious outfit for
twice its value and decided that in.
stead Of becoming a licentiate, "he
would make his way in this world
rather than think Of the next" A
second gift of a thousand ducats from
Dona Mencia confirmed him to his re-
solve.
He bought two mules and hiring a
servant, set forth for Madrid. His
servant conspired with several rogues
to make fool Of him. One Of them,
Camilla, pretended to-,be related to
Dona Mencia, invited, him to hired
lodgings as If to her own home, and
there he was Toasted and flattered. As
mark Of special favor she exchanged
her ruby ring, which she declared was
worth 300 pistoles, for his, and pro-
cured him an invitation to a great
country seat for hunting and fishing.
But when he arose In the morning,
his servant, his two mules, his port
manteau and Dona Mencia's pre-.
tended relatives had vanished. The
ruby ring was a cheat.
Fortunately he fell in with boy
hood friend, Fabricio, at valladolid,
and by his advice became a servant
to clergyman, the canon Sedillo, at
whose house he led an easy life. The
canon soon died, leaving him his
worthless library, and the good for
tune Of becoming assistant to his physi,
clan, the famous Doctor Sangrado. On.

proficient In his method Of practice,
which consisted Of nothing but blood
letting and "drenching Of water" He
declared that he made as many Wild

one OF his victims was the betrothed
of giant Biscayan, who threatened
him with dire vengeance, and he fed
to Madrid, where he became valet to

How the Use of this External Treat ment for Cold Troubles
 Has Grown

K FORE than score of years ago, Luns- M ford Richardson, druggist in a little l v A North Carolina town, was trying to find a new way to treat spasmodic croup and colds. He had been trying to find it for years he needed-such a treatment in his own home he knew that epicac and internal medicines disturbed the delicate digestions of children that the only way to get medication directly to the air passages and lungs was in vapor form. So he was searching for an effective vapor treatment which would be economical, convenient and which could be used without the necessity of closing up the sick room and thus excluding the fresh air, so important in the treatment of colds.
 At last, this druggist found process by which he could combine in sa1ve form the standard, time-tested remedies = Camphor, Menthol, Eucalyptus, Thynol and Turpentine with other volatile oils so that when this salve was spread over the throat and chest the ingredients would be vaporized by the body heat. These vapors, inhaled with each breath all night long, carried the medication directly to the parts affected and at the same time the

And this in spite of the fact that Vicks is still new form of treatment to many people in the North and far West.
