become the standard liver medicine in
many thousands of homes, where it
has been found of great benefit in the
treatment of constipation, biliousness,
Indigestion and other common liver,

now sold year, as more and more

CHAPTER XIV
Coaxing-or Coercion

By morning, after he had snatch
ed few hours of sleep in the bunk
house, Charley McSween had given
much thought to the affair of the
fhvver and the Henry Williamses.
He could not afford to lose a good
cook and dish-washer. That would
make more trouble with the boss
than holding him up on the road.
And if he let them ride away as they
had come, it signified a confession
hat implicated him as deeply as any
Of the principals,
The problem of keeping them on
the job was really simplifed. Char
ley had a certain allowance of con-
science; he was tolerant and good
hearted. He had admitted to him
self that the CONSUMPTION of a pair
of honeymooners was a mean trick,
even in the face of dire necessity.
But now he knew something, or be-
lieved he did; and it amounted to a
justification. 1t removed scruples,
or at any rate made them slumbrous
He not only knew it, but ne felt that
ne could profitably use it. 1t was
neither bIackmail nor duress, but
merely persuasion. He could show
them what the consequences of an
attempted getaway might be.
For some reason that probably
went back to instinct. he had never
taken the hold-up of Jerome Under
wood and his family with any deep
feeling of shock. 1t had not seri,
ously disturbed his moral sense.
Now with Henry Williams in the
picture, he regarded the affair even
more lightly. Besides there was Sal
ly to be considered. She was \
mighty fine girl, he had decided al
most from the first; he looked upon
her as one of his own people. If She
had married bandit, it was unfor-
tonate, Of course. But had she? He

The Wreck was making an effort
to be judicial.
Suppose" he said, SHAT l was
to tell your boss how you happened
to get a cook and kitchen helper?"
THAT would be sinkin US all in
the same ship" admitted Charley.
But you amt goin' to tell him, or
account of Mis- Williams nere, who's
got rights of her own in the mat
ter"
The Wreck could see that, but he
did not like to acknowledge it.
Every idiot on the place." he
said, seems to be chasing around
with the idea that somebody COM
mitted a crime, Suppose it happen
ed that there was no crime. at ALP

Charley.

NORFOLK, Va, August 27.-
What is believed to be a unique rec

brations is claimed by the family Of
Mr.. and Mrs, NJ S. Goodman Of
Berkeley, just across the Elizabeth
River from Norfolk. A few days
ago Irving, aged eight; Fannie,

There was one more considere
ton in the back of his head-tna
sheriff. There was nothing persona
about it, in the sense Of q specific
grievance. He could not have eZ-
planned it any better than the YER
sifer who did not like Dr. Fell. But
he did not like Bob WeIs, and he
did not see any reason for throwing
business in his way, particularly
when it did not impress him as be
ing of a really serious character
He took the earliest opportunity
to interview the Wreck and Sally
Morgan, which happened to be dur
ing the washing of the breakfast
dishes.

Charlie, has become known to he

The Wrecks towel paused in the
middle of polishing movement.

added Charlie. 1T was discovered
as a result of unmanly curiosity on
the part of the boss son. He ham

save for one. none of them has ever
seen the spot. They have cast their
fortunes upon the word of this one
man, l. s. McGirk, a veteran gold
miner, who has roamed the earth in
search of the yellow metal.
McGirk is experienced in the ways
of gold and knows a chance pocket
from a true field, where rich strikes
may be made. He returned recently
from the Siberian fields with samples
of float" quartz which assayed as
high as $4,000 a ton, while placer
samples assayed from 80 cents to S13
d yard.
1t is McGirk's word and the sam
pies that he took from the earth that
has put the fever into the blood OF
the men who will sail on the Speed
way. For the greater part, they are
bcr representatives from nearly
every walk of life. including a physi-
clan. a lawyer and a preacher. They
all go for gold.
Supplies for Two Years.
The expedition was organized
jointly by McGirll and II. C. Wilson,
an experienced shipping man. who
purchased the Speedway, IL stanch
craft. and loaded upon her mining
machinery Costing $4,000, to be in
stalled for dredging and hydraulic
operations. Supplies to last the en-
tire company two years, with tents
and camping outfits, are also slowed
away in the hold of the ship. and all
of the company to sail today have
said their good-byes recited again
their dreams of wealth, and stand

ready for the long and unbroken abb
sence at the last outpost of civi1iza-
ton in a strange ana forbidding
country.
VIII Get Valuable Fur.
The Speedway will be their only
means of communication and will re-
main at anchor in Okhotask Harbor
until she receives her cargo of gold.
But even if the gold fails, the expedi-
tion does not expect to return empty
handed, for it has been agreed that
in addition to mining, no matter how
rich the sand or ore. they will trap
land otter, silver, red, black. white
and cross fox, sable and Siberian
squirrel, and will ship the skins.
worth far more than their weight in
gold, with their gold, back to Los
Angeles harbor once year.
If the Speedway returns heavily
laden with gold the real rush to the
Siberian gold fields may be expected
to follow. But not before then, for
it is doubtful if any word of the sue
cess or the failure of the expedition
will reach the world except through
the return of their own ship.
