Jane Porter shot quick glance
at Clayton.
1T seems vastly more reason
able" said Professor Porter.
Il do not agree with you," OBJ
jected Mr.. Philander. HE had
ample opportunity to harm us him
! self, or to lead his people against
us. Instead, during our long resi-
dence here, he has been uniformly
consistent in his role of protector
and provider."
THAT is true interjected Clay
ton, yet we must not overlook the
fact that except for himself the only
human beings within hundreds of
miles are savage cannibals. He was
armed precisely as are they, which
indicates that he has maintained
relations Of some nature with them,
and the fact that he is but one
against possibly thousands suggests
that these relations could scarcely
have been other than friendly"
1T seems improbable then that he
is not connected with Them, re-
marked the captain possibly a
member of this tribe"
or" added another of the off,
GERS. that otherwise he could even
have lived sufficient length of
time among the savage denizens of
the jungle, brute and human, to
have become proficient in wood
craft, or in the use Of African
weapons"
you are judging him according
to your own standards, gentlemen, /"
said Jane Porter. AN ordinary
white man such as any of you-par-
don me. did not mean just that
rather, white man above the or
binary in physique and intelligence
could never, grant you, have lived
a year alone and naked in this
tropical jungle; but this man not
only surpasses the average white
man in strength and agility, but as
far transcends our trained athletes
and strong men as they surpass a
day old babe; and his courage and
ferocity in battle are those Of the
wild beast"
''He has certainly won a loyal
champion, Miss Porter" said Cap
tain Dufranne, laughing. II am sure
that there be none of us here but

Possibly we can borrow some men
from Captain Dufran1e to assist
US, and one of the prisoners to point
out the location of the chest"
Most assuredly, my dear profess
sor, we are all yours to command"
said the captain.
And SO it was arranged that on
the next day Lieutenant Charpen-
tier was to take detail of ten men,
and one of the mutineers of the
Arrow as a guide, and unearth the
treasure; and that the cruiser would
remain for full week in the little
harbor. At the end of that time It
was to be assumed that D'Arnot was
truly dead, and that the forest man
would not return while they re-
manned. Then the two vessels were
to leave with all the party.
Professor Porter did not accom-
pany the treasure-seekers on the
following day, but when he saw
them returning empty-handed
toward noon, he FASTENED forward

KIDNEYS MUST HAVE
PLENTY OF WATER

Kidney and bladder irritations
often result from ac1dity, says a
noted authority. The kidneys help
filter this acid from the blood and
pass It on to the bladder.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it. While It is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful. this is
often one OF the most simple all
ments to overcome. Begin drinking
lots of soft water. also get about
four ounces Of Jad Salts from your
pharmacist and take a tablespoonful
in glass Of water before break
fast. Continue this for two or three
days This will help neutralize the
acids in the system so they no longer
are a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs. which
then act normal again
Jad Salts is inexpensive. and Is
made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lith

There must have been several in
the party" said Jane Porter, who
had joined them. You remember,
that it took four men to carry it."

right. must have been done by a
party Of blacks. Probably one Of
them saw the man bury the chest,
and then returned Immediately after

Only Jane Porter knew what the
loss meant to her father, and none
there knew what it meant to her.
Six days later Captain Dufranne
announced that they would sail early
on the morrow.
Jane Porter would have begged
for further reprieve, had it not
been that she, too, had begun to
believe that her forest lover would
return no more.
That he was a cannibal she would
not believe, but that he was an
adopted member of some savage
tribe at length seemed possible to
her.
1t was she, though. who suggested
that arms, ammunition. supplies and
comforts be left behind in the cabin,
ostensibly for that Intangible per-
sonality who had signed himself Tar

she hoped. for her forest god-even

And at the last minute she left a
message for him, to be transmitted

HERE'S HISTORY
OF BEECH GROVE;
BORN IN 1907
Town Has Nearly Been An
nexed toCity Three
Times.

Beech Grove an Incorporated
town of $500 inhabitants was founli-
ed In 1907, when the Big -Four Rail-
road established the central repair
shops of it's systef about five miles
southeast of the Monument Circle.
The town has grown up between the
shops and the Indianapolis city
limits until the two corporation
limits are only about five city blocks
apart.
The northeast tip of the town is
less than four miles southeast OF
the Caypool hotel corner, the heart
Of Indianapolis.
Government
The town Is divided into three
wards, and governed by an elective
beard of three members. 1t has q
school board Of three, who are APP
pointed by the town board.
Beech Grove has nearly been part
Of Indianapolis twice, Back In 1870,
when Indianapolis was undergoing
an extreme case of growing pains,
the sttn Of the town was plated as
a suburb Of the city. Unfortunately,
the latter failed to grow out that
far by 1907, and incorporators Of the
present town had to take legal steps
to have the old plating vacated.
Then In 1910 movement to be
annexed to Indianapolis was started,
and Just about completed. A remon-
STRANGE With Circuit Court was fled,
and the court found it would not
be ITO the best interest" to effect
the union at that time.
Civic Body
The town has a third-class postof-
fee, a obstruction fight, twenty-five
miles OF paved streets and a new
civic association Of 200 members de-
termlned to wake the people Of In
dlanapolis up to the advantages of
living In Beech Grove.
All but three streets in the town
are paved. The altitude is about It's
feet higher than that of the Union
| Station.
| The town was incorporated by the
Beech Grove Improvement Company.
John Wocher, now dead, and his
brother, William, were organizers OF
| the company. Unfortunately for the
| immediate future Of the little city
Wocher got into a real estate war

The work and success Of scien-

According to Doctor Findlay, av-
erage newspaper readers are not
only grasping and understanding,
but are actually applying scientific
facts as revealed by savants, and
one big reason for this is that
scientific revelations are made in
simple, everyday language instead
OF difficult technical terms, as for
