nevertheless what they lacked in
horsepower they made up In pugnacity
and the salt sea seldom breeds
craven. Captain Scraggs thrust a
frightened face up through the engine
room hatch, but at sight Of the battle
royal taking place on the deck aft.
his blood turned to water and he
thought only Of escape. To climb up
to the bulkhead without being seen
was impossible, however, 90, not
knowing what else to do, he stood on
the iron ladder and gazed, pop-eyed
with horror, at the unequal contest.
Backward and forward the tide Of
battle surged. For nearly three min
utes all Scraggs saw was an indis-
tinct tangle Of legs and arms; then
suddenly the combatants disengaged
themselves and Scraggs beheld Mr..
Gibney prone upon the deck with
CORY face upturned to the foggy skies.
When he essayed to rise and continue
the contest, Flaherty kicked him In
the ribs and Hicks cursed him; so
Mr.. Gibney, realizing that all was
over, beat the deck with his hand In
token Of surrender. Hicks and Fla
herty waited until the fallen gladia-
tor had recovered sufficient breath to
sit up; then they pounced upon him,
lifted him to the rail, and dropped him

in protest at this added touch Of bar
barity. and Dan Hicks, turning, be-
held Scraggsy's white face at the
hatch

cheerfully. and turned to peer over the
rail-. Mr.. Gibney had emerged ON the
surface and was swimming slowly
away toward an adjacent float where
small boats landed. He climbed
YEARLY up on the float and sat there,
gazing across at Hicks and Flaherty
without animus, for to his way Of
thinking he had gotten on lightly, con-
sidering the enormity of his offense.
The least he had anticipated was three
months In hospital. and 50 grateful
was he to Hicks and Flaherty for
their forbearance that he straneied a
resolve to "layr for Hicks and Fla
herty and thrash them individually
something he was fully able to do
and forgot his aches and pains in
lively interest a. to the fate Of Cap
tain scraggs at the hands Of the tow
boat men. He was aware that Cap
tain scraggs had fsilsd ANONYMOUSLY
to rally. to the GIbney appeal to repeI
boarders, and IN his own expressive
Technology he hoped that what the
enemy would do to the bastard would
be "a-plenty."

GOLD DISCOVERED IN NORTHWESTERN
 ILLINOIS

F'reeport, Tl1., Nov. 21-Mtntng for gold in the rocky hills of Northwest srn Illinois Is expected to begin in the near future as the result of the dis eovery of gold in Stephenson County lust west of the village of Pearl City
 A corporation Is being formed to exploit 1,800 acres of land in that re- zion because of the belif that vast quantities of gold may be had for the taking.
 According to promoters of the con- pany ore taken from a depth of from thtrty to fifty feet has produced from S11 to SIS a ton in gold.
 Traces of gold were first discovered 1n the Weimer farm, near Pearl City, more than a year ago. The find was made by wen dliggers. William Wei mer, owner of the garn1, sought to in terest men with money in the gold prospects but failed. His widow, however, was more successful, es- pec5aEly when, recently, the crop of ducks raised on the Weimer place found to contain small bits of gold ore.

BAD BREATH
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets Get at the Cause and
 Remove It.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work.
 People afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar coated tablets are taken for bad breath by all who know them.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural ac- ton. clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerous calomel does without any of the bad after effects.
 All the benefits of nasty, sickening, griping cathartics are derived from Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets without griping, pain any disagreeable eff fects.
 Dr. F. NJ. Edwards discovered the formula after seventeen years of prac- tice among patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint, with the attendant bad breath.
 Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil; you will know them by their olive color. Take one or two every night for a week and note the effect. 15c and soc. Adv.

Anything more exciting than the new picture, '-Thunderclap,' which opened at Polls last night, seems al- most imp ossib!e to imagine. There is one of the most spectacular race scenes near the end of the super photo drama that has ever come to the screen, and as for the thrilling incident of the hero carried down the rapids-it makes all similar scenes scenes ever produced look like the Dead Sea.
 Sporting life, where happiness or misery may depend on a toss of the coin or the slip of a horse hoof is depicted in this race track drama. From the very start chance plays it's part. If the woman had not mar ried the second time, she would not have had to stand the mistreatment of her new husband, and she never would have been paralyzed because of a blow received at his hands. Then, too, she would not have had to keep her daughte in a, convent school.
