North Carolinian Found Inactive
Liver Caused His Trouble.
Took Black Draught-'1 n
Splendid Shape" Now.

Il have lived in this vicinity all
of my life" says A. S. Jackson, a
well-known resident of Rutherford,
N. c., land for about twenty years
out of my thirty-eight I have used
Thedford's Black Draught.
Il used it mostly in the spring
when we have what is commonly
called spring fever. I would get up
mornings and my joints would ache.
I would feel sore. I would feel
sleepy and stupid. 1 didn't feel like
I wanted to work. 1 found, after
this feeling and a dull headache, that
it was caused from an inactive liver.
Il heard of Black-Draught and
how highly it was recommended. 1t
certainly did me a world of good. So
now keep it in the house all the
time. I use it each spring and it
keeps me in splendid shape"
Pains in your joints and muscles
are often the result of poisons which
have been absorbed into the system
instead of being carried off in a natu-
raj manner. These waste products
cause a great deal of trouble to
many people, and much relief has
been found, in many cases, by seeing
to it that the bowels act regularly
and freely every day. Thedford' s
Black Draught should be taken as
often as necessary to open the bow
els and put them in a healthy state
of daily activity.

with his shipmates on watch. He
did not, however, intend to follow
the seafarer's life, for the simple
reason that he knew it would sooner
or later carry him into danger. When
he returned to Alaska he would get
some kind of an outdoor job at one
Of the canneries where he would be
mostly out of touch with civiliza~
ton and the law.
The boat touched at Unalaska on
the return trip, but because the ends
of the earth foregathered here-be-
cause it was the meeting place for
the wayfarers that came and passed
through this empty, far-off edge Of
the East-he wisely decided to stay.
on board. But he would not coI&
tinue on down to San Francisco, and
thus into the tolls of the law. The
captain had agreed to put him off at
one of the native villages, farther
down the peninsula.

knew that there was a survivor from
the disaster of the reefs. In order
that the whole world should be made
to believe that Peter Newhall, alias
Peter Neville, had gone down on the
Jupiter he must tell his shipmates
that he. Limejuice Pete, had been
aboard and was a survivor of the
auxiliary schooner that had 81. nix
among the reefs, the ship that the
unfortunate Jupiter had gone forth
to save. No one living, so far as he
knew, could contradict his story.
Thus the world would believe that
every one aboard the Jupiter was
lost, Peter Newhall of course among
them.
He resolved to get up as soon as
possible, take his place in the crew
of the ship, and get what companion
ship ne could from his shipmates. lie

the first place it might arouse suspi-
cion Of him-men of the class he was
supposed to be do not pay for steam
boat tickets when they can work
their way-and in the second, the
hard work on the deck might fill up
the long days and give him some
shadow of happiness. He would not
take to the whisky bottle again at
once. That wild, halfmad dream
was ended.
Ten days thereafter he was well
enough to begin his first light tasks
aboard ship; and the captain signed
him up. This proceeding was not
without an element of humor; the
southern gentleman signed the name
Pete Limejuicer" with flourish.
The captain grinned widely, then as
signed him a shift on the paint de-
tail that is always busy on ship
board.
His wounds healed, his jaw and
the bone of his nose We're sound
again, and now the blonde hair had
begun to lengthen and mat about his
lips and jowls. Because 1t was grad

tremendous, incredible change In his
appearance since the night Of the
wreck. In the first place health and
decent habits had mostly eradicated
the revolving signs of dissipation.

He laid the back of an envelope

shot and thin; the flesh OF his face
was firm, rather than swollen and
soft; he was a deep, good brown in
stead of pasty white, and the net
work Of red lines at his cheek bones
was no longer manifest. But this
was only the beginning. His burly
form had stripped down until he
weighed by 100 pounds. and now he
had started to gain slowly as his
muscles hardened to iron.
But these changes were all minor
ones compared to the complete trans
formation of his face. Bills surgical
work had been a huge success as
far as repairing his disfigupration,
but in so doing he had completely
concealed the mans identity. He
was as changed as If he wore a
mask.
Before he had had rather full.

lean. the cheek bones showed, the
chin was prominent, the eyes looked
larger, more luminous and clear, and
much more sover. New lines had
come in his brow, his nose was ir-
regular, no longer finely chiseled;
his mouth no longer looked small
and rather pursed, but large and
humorous. He was no longer hand

figuration, but simply because Of the
new set Of his features, and, per

scars. His hair had only been faint

and dissipation had shot 1t full Of
silver. Finally. his voice was com
pletely changed in tone since the
fracture Of his jaw; 1t was still rich
and full, and the differences Were
such as could not be narrated in
words, yet the ear would never rec

Before that long cruise was done,
he found a certain simple pleasure
in the sailors life, in holding his
place as a man among men. The
hardest tasks on the boat did not ap-
pail him now. His hands were like
iron, his muscles untiring. He liked

Big Interests Inter-
fere,

Additional investigation of the
city's ten-year street lighting con
tract was indicated today, after a
motion to strike >the contract from
the files failed in the city council
meeting Monday night.
The contract, made with the Mer-
chants Heat and Light Company
approved by the board of works and
signed by Mayor Shank, was at
tackled after Councilman Ben H.
Thompson moved to strike it out
and start over again"
Following a strong plea by Coun-
Gilman Lloyd D. Claycombe to re-
tain the contract, a vote showed
only Thompson and Otto Ray seek
ing to reject it. Heydon W Buchanan
and President Walter W. Wise, aft
er denouncing the contract, switched
on final vote. Theodore J. Bernd
and Ira L. Bramblett, however, de-
manded investigation by the council
before it was approved.
Traffic Changes Proposed

are trying to 'bunco' this council
into killing this contract so they can
go to the public service commission
and get the contract put on a cur
rent basis" said Claycombe. THAT

Ray said he had heard no such ru-

Ordinances introduced by Clay

ating parking in center of Market

take him for an Englishman. He
was pure Anglo-Saxon to start with,

the better class OF Britishers, but
mostly Bill got the idea from his
southern accent-an accent with
which the crew Of the Dolly Belts

of elimination.

Stabbing, burning pain in his jaws

cautioned quickly. You won't do
any talking for some weeks, my boy.
But can see you're better"
Peter managed to grin wanly ard
moved his hand as if in the act of
writing. Bill understood promptly.

me to go ahead"
Peter opened his eyes again. I'm
conscious" he said thickly. His Jaw
wobbled as he tried to snunciate.
GO ahead"
The sailors looked at him with no
great amazement. That's another
complication-that you're con-
scious," Bill returned. I'VE haven t
any anesthetic."
"Go\ ahead, anyway. My face
hasn't any feeling in it, at all. 1t

I'm afraid it won't be numb when
I get to work on it. But we're a

and you've got to have help. I'll be

Bill went to work-to the absolute
limit of his skill. He stitched great,
ugly cuts, he bandaged loose, torn
strips of flesh, he tied bleeding
veins, he fastened again-with some
deftness-a torn eyeid that was the
