"Mads Money!"

The first person to make counter
felt was Richard Vaughan, a linen
draper Of Stacord, England, which &C.
Cured in 1853. The Bank of England
had been In operation for "a years
without ever experiencing the slight
est trouble or apprehension in the
matter, and would probably have gone
on for many years more, but for the
ambition of this man to impress his
fiancee with show of his wealth. He
handed over to this lady a consider
able sum in bank notes, all of which
turned out to be of his own manufac-
ture. The fraud was revealed by one
of the engravers whose services had
been engaged upon one part OF the
note. He communicated with the au-
thorities, and Mr.. Vaughan's enterprise
came to tragic end.

DISAPPEARS IN THE EARTH
Mystery Of Avanlshlng River" In
Mexico Has Long Been 4 Puzzle
70 Scientists.

One Of the most remarkable rivers
in the world flows through the north
ern part of Mexico. It borders the
great Mexican desert and to reach 1t
one need travel only one days Jour-
ney on horseback from the Rio
Grande, which marks the southern
boundary Of the United States in that
region. The extraordinary river in
question has its source In the hills
bordering the desert. 1t flows south
ward for some twenty miles as smooth
ly as any well-behaved river, but, sud-
denly, as 1t flows between high bluffs,
1t becomes whlrling rapids-rapids so
strong and so dangerous that no man
has ever been brave enough to at
tempt to cross the rushing waters.
One follows the rapids, as he walks
along the bluff on either side,, for
about two miles. and then that river
vanishes utterly. Hence the name
Vanishing river. 1t disappears sud
denly, mysteriously, completely, into
the earth itself, and not into a cave,
as one would suppose. Scientists have
tried in vain to ascertain where that
river goes; all that they have yet an
nOunced as the result Of their explora-
tons is that the river seems to drop
sheer into the earth, as over the brink
Of bottOmless abyss, and that this
Vanishing river is the most amazing
body of water known to geOgraphers.

CHAPTER vi.
The Cave With Two Mouths.


Obscure as were the directions
which Hopperdown's niece had taken
from his dying lips, one point at least
was clear-the treasure-cave opened
on the sea. This seemed an immense
simplification of the problem, until
you discovered that the great wall of
cliffs was honeycombed with fissures.
One Of the boats which had con-
veyed us from the Rufus Smith had
been left with US, and in it Mr.. Shaw,
with the Honorable Cuthbert and
Captain Magnus, made a preliminary
voyage of discovery. This yielded the
information above set down, plus,
however, the thrilling and significant
fact that cave seemingly predestined
to be the hiding place Of treasure, and
moreover cave with the specified
two openings, ran under the point
which protected the anchorage on the
south, connecting the cove with the
sea. Only the Scotchman remained
exasperatingly calm and declined to
admit that the treasure was as good
as found.
"Tll wait till l see the color of my
money before reckon the interest on
it" he remarked. "It's true the cave

HEALTH HINTS FROM BIBLE
Proof That More Than Spiritual Con.
ISOLATION IL Contained In the
Pages Of Scripture.

If you want to keep we'll and avoid
doctors bills, study your Bible. That
would seem to be the moral drawn
from the remarks of Sir James Can't
lie. famous English surgeon, who
pointed out that medicine rests on
the law Of Moses.
There is not one page Of the Bible
which does not teach us some hygienic
fact" he said.
For instance, the wrong use Of milk
is the cause Of indigestion and bad
teeth. Moses laid down the salutary
law that milk should not be drunk UNI
til at least two hours after eating fish,
three after chicken, and four after
meat, but this is disregarded and milk
is drunk at meals. No careful Jewish
mother gives milk to her child when
meat is served.
Sir James points out how the dan
gers Of plaques carried by rats was
learned from the Bible. When he was
doctor at Hongkong there was a bu-
bonic plague and he and others
searched the encyclopedia for infor-
nation. Then clergyman came to
him and asked him to read the fourth,
fifth and sixth chapters of the Book
of Samuel. where five models Of swell
ings and three golden images Of rats
were described as being offered to the
God of Israel.
That's the cause Of your plague,
these rats" said the clergyman, and
on that basis the medical authorities
went to. work.-Pittsburgh Gazette
