LIVED LONG ON FRUGAL DIET

Thomas F. Curby. the champion eater of Massa chusetts, declared that dyspepsia is the result of eating too little, and not too much. His Sunday dinner consisted of thirteen Holsters. sixty eggs. and one hundred oysters. At the other end of the scale must be placed old Roger Crab, the first vege- tarian, who died September II, 1880, after proving that man could live on 75 cents year. Originally hab- erdasher in a big way of business at Chesham, England. a free liver and drinker of strong ales, he "got re- ligion"-also dyspepsia-in middle life, sold his stock, gave the proceeds to the poor, and took to living in a hut on three-farthings a week.

The Pearl hunter could not make out their words, but the manner in which they handled their rifles, which they had managed to drag up with them, indicated only too plainly the general drift of what was being said.
 With a final nod all around, they faced the pocket, and one of them raised his rife. The bullet struck the roof of the scar just in front of him, showering him with dust and bits of shale. The second fired. The bullet passed close to his eeet and lost it. self far back in the crevice where the two strata of shale converged.
 It was now the third one's turn There came the hot spit of smoke 1; the vicious slap of the report. But even before he saw the one, or heard the other, he felt something like a red coal sting his side just under the armpit.
 His side! A thousand flames had got at it. Som thing warm and sticky ran down under his tattered shirt and made 1t mussy. The flames reached his face and twisted it. The air seemed to forsake the pocket. He crawleu to the front of the scar.
 He couldn't take his eyes away from the water glancing along at the foot of the cliff. The flames had scorched him dry. If he could only have one sup of the water to mcisten his lips so that the breath could get through. He crawled a little nearer the open ing; held his face out over the ledge.
 The ledge seemed to be rocking up and down; the trees were dipping and going around in a queer whirl that made him dizzy. He had never known trees to act like that. The tops of the gorge were bending together. The gorge came ogether-slowly-s out the air-shut out the sky.

like .he happy water curling against the ledge. He laughed back. He couldn't help 1t. The restraint was broken; the smart gone.
 He glanced down at the ledge before leaving to see that no teII-taIe blood spots or bits of cloth were left. A needless precaution-her woodcraft was as fine as his own.
 How she managed to lead him, half carry him, out of the rocky and brok- en gulches of Fox Den and down the rough banks of Wolf Run to the cabin or the three gables she never knew. Neither did he. It always remained a matter of wonder to him. Who does know the source of power-that mys- terious augmentation of strength-that comes to woman in a crisis?
 She led him into the house and to the sofa in the main room; the queer little leather-cOvered bed that had stirred his curiosity the afternoon of his first visit two days before.
 The old man was not in the room. She must have caught his eyes search ing for him.
 "Daddy?" she answered to the eyes. "He often spends hours away. There'II be little pass in the woods today that he won't see, though nobody will see him. Poor DaddyI"
 "Well send for that surgeon tomor- row." he said.
 She was back in moment, carrying a pan of water, fresh bandages. and a formidable-loOking brown bottle-cam- phOr, the universal first aid in the Flatwoods. The blood-soaked ban dages were deftIy removed and the wound re-washed. She picked up the brown bottle.
 "I am Sorry to hurt you." she said. ''But 1t will keep the fever down."
 You're the doctor" was his slow answer.
 She uncorked the bottle and applied some of its contents to the wound with bit of cotton. HurtI It hurt so that he laughed.
 Anything to get ready for tonight" he grinned, under the bite of the pow erful antiseptic.
 "Tonightl' she repeated blankly. "Why, you mustn't think"
 'I must, though. Big things depend on tonight" She saw a sternness gather in his eyes. Hell think I've left the Flatwoods," he muttered on, more to himself than to her. 'Tt's what he's been waiting for. His game tonight I-and-r

 Lack of water was the greatest drawback. Thirst was already begin ming to annoy him. He took out his sandwiches and ate two more of them. saving the other two until later in the day. The salty bacon made the wa ter more tempting still. He drew back a little space from the brink of the ledge out of sight of 1t. The sound of It still tempted him.
 Voices reached him suddenly, break ing upon the silence from around a sharp turn of the gorge down stream. He drew his face back from the brink of the ledge and lay listening. It was far too risky to look. His ears made out three of them-three tongues, all going at top speed, a sure sign that eyes and ears were not as busy as they might have been. Opposite the cliff where the fugitive lay, the steps stopped.

 It was a gruff and heavy voice that asked. thick still with the flare of tenn per that had not yet cooled.

 ''If we wus up tn bluff cross there furninst the hole, we could see in," suggested a voice.
 The other voices grunted; and the Pearlhunter heard them hopping back across the stream. heard them clawing their way through the tangled under brush up the opposite bluff. The scar in which he lay dipped slightly to- ward the rear. He rolled back as far as possible, so as to have the protec- ton afforded by the slightly higher edge; stretched himself on his right side; and waited for them to come into view.
 Fortunately the sun hit their side of the gorge, and the PearIhunter could see them well, while, being on
