Shattered Nerves.
Many peoplo complain of shattered
nerves. Very frequently this malady
la caused by the overwork of body and
brain. Dad sleep or no sleep at all is
ono of tho prominent symptoms of
shattered nerves. A weary nnd yet
restless feeling during waking hours,
both day and night, is a similar symp
tom. Hxccsslvo irritability, instead of
good temper, is another symptom. A
strong tendency to think tho worst of
everything, rather thnn tho best, is
another Bymptom. A wish for death,
rather than life, with such a stato of
body and mind, Is not uncommon. A
strong idea that wo aro somehow
wrong and cannot gut right, is another
symptom. Fear and foreboding of
evil is anothor. What wo havo ludl
catcd as tho Bymptoms will indlcato
that tho mind has a great dual to do
with all biicIi cases. Frequently, says
tho Now York Weekly, it is tho mcro
Idea, strongly fixed, which works nil
tho harm. If tho mind could banish
its depression, tho samo nerves that
havo beon set down as hopelessly
sha'torcd may turn out to bo qulto
sound and good by tho act of changed
thought. Hut to do good work one
must havo adequato rest. Mora and
better work is dono by a good slecpor,
who dally takes at IcaBt eight hours of
sound sleep, than by ono who forces
himself to do less. Hut even if this
wcro not truo, it would still bo certain
that It Is ruinous to llfo's grandest
ends to deny tho nerve-system that
on which its healthy state depends.
Romanco got something of n set
back tho other day when, from tho
steps of tho Royal Exchango of Lon

tion that after AugiiBt 1 tho doubloon

West Indies, Including Drltlsh Guiana.
Now tho boy who flndB a plrato's bur
led treasure will havo to dlsposoof his
Spanish gold at its bullion value. It
may consolo him to know that for
somo years tho doubloon has not been
tho precious thing It was. In 1730,
and for a century after, It was worth
eight dollars, "moro or less;" but tho
curront doubloon is worth only about
flvo dolllarB. It has ceased to bo
coined In Its native country, Spain,
nnd now it will soon become unpopu
lar in tho WcBt IndloB, whoro It hns
figured In n mixed circulation em
bracing Drltlsh, United States nnd
Spanish coins. In tho interest of ro
mnnco, however, tho nnmo at least
must survive it signifies nothing
moro than that tho coin was doublo
tho vnluo of n plstolo; but "doubloon"
was novor such a month-fllllng mock

"Send six men to 8 o'clock boat. Como

Mother Dorton's faco changed not
a whit at tho reading, but at tho end
eho nodded.
"Sho knows," sho said.
"What does it mean 7" I asked.
"What Is to happon?"
"Don't go, dearie -you won't go,
will you?"
"Yes," I sold. "I must go."
"Oh," sho walled; "you may bo

"NonscnBC," said I. "In brond day

moro likely to bo killed beforo I get

Her earnestness Impressed mo, but
my resolution wns not shaken. Mothor
llorton rested her head on tho tnblo
in despair nt my obstinacy.
"Well, If you will, you will," sho
said at last; "nnd nn old woman's
warnings nro nothing to you. Hut If
you will put your head In tho traps I'll
do my best to mnko It safo aftor you

And sho took tho cnndlo and went
to n corner, whoro sho seated horself
at n stand.
Mothor Dorton nppenrcd to have

At lust oho wns dono, and scaling hur

"Tako that," sho said, thrusting tho

I thanked Mother Dorton nnd
pressed her hand, and sho hold tho
cnndlo as I tiptoed down tho stairs,
Joining my waiting guards and wont
out Into tho night
"Whero nro Dnrkhouso and Phil
Hps?" I uBked, as wo turned our faces
toward tho woBt.
Porter gnvo a low whlstlo, and as
this failed to bring an answer, fol
lowed It with ono louder nnd moro pro
longed. Wo listened, but no rosponso
enmo.
"We'd better got out of hero," said
Wilson. "There's no telling what may
happen when thoy hoar that whlstlo."
"Hist! Wlmt'B that?" said Porter,
drawing mo bnck Into a doorway,
Thoro woro running stops on tho
block abovo us, and 1 thought a shad
ow darted from ono side of tho street
to tho other.
"There seem to bo friends waiting
for us," said I. "Just get a good grip

"I bellovo you aro right," Bald 1,
peering Into tho darkness. I could boo
a confused innss, but whothcr of mon
or boxes 1 could only guess.
"We'll go up thoro, and you can cut
around tho othor way," snld Portor,
"Thoro a no need for you to risk it.
'Thoro's no need for any ono to risk
it. We'll out together."
'Thtn way then," Bald Wilson. "I
know this part of town bettor than
you do. Run on your toes." And he
darted past Dorton's and plunged Into
nn alley that lod toward tho north.
Portor and I ToJlowcd na qu'.stly as
possible through thu dark and nolsomo
cut-otf to PaclUn utruot. Wllsou turned
ffiEQ)
toward tho bay, nnd crossing the
street nt tho next corner followed tho
main thoroughfare to Broadway.
"I guess wo'ro all right now," ho
gasped, as wo turned ngaln to tho
west, "but we'd best keep to tho mid
dlo of tho street."
And a llttlo later wo wero in sight
of tho hotiso of mystery which fronted,
forbidding and gloomy as ever, on
Montgomery street, nnd I was soon In
my room and In bed for what sleep
I could snatch.
At tho earliest light of tho morning
I was onco moro nstlr, but hnlf-rc-freshed
by my short nnd broken rest,
nnd mado my dispositions for tho day.
I ordered Portor, Fitzhugh, Drown,
Wilson, Lockhart nnd Abrams to wait
for mo at tho Oakland ferry. Trent,
who was still weak from his wound, I
put In chnrgo of tho homo guard, with
Owens, Phillips nnd Larson ns his
companions, and gave Instructions to
look for Darkhouso, In enso ho did
not return. Walnwright I took with
me, nnd hailing a hack drove to the
Palaco Hotel.
There was n rattlo of wagons nnd a
bustlo of dopartlng guests as wo drove
Into tho courtyard of tho famous hos
telry. I stopped out of the hack and looked
about mo anxiously. Was I to meet tho
Unknown? or was I to tako orders
from somo emissary of my hidden em
ployer? No answering eye met mine
as I searched tho placo with eager
glance. Neither woman nor mnn of
all tho hurrying crowd hnd a thought
of mo.
I glanced nt tho clock that ticked
tho seconds in tho ofUce of tho hotel
' . 1
two pYarrEir 5tood mefqefjie: zeadjngA chtid.
I saw that I had been early, and that
It was oven now but 20 minutes to tho
hour.
Thu mlnuto hand had not swept pnst
tho llguro VIII when tho door opened,
thoro was a hurried step nnd two
women stood beforo mo loudlng n
child botwoun them. Doth women wero"
closely volled, and tho child was muf
fled and Bwuthod till Its features could
not bo seen.
One of tho women wns young, tho
othor oldor norhans mlddlo-nced.
Doth woro tall and well-made. I looked
eagerly upon them, for ono of them
must bo tho Unknown, tho hidden em-
ployor whoso tnsk had carried Henry
Wilton to his death, who held my llfo
mured or JJoddrldgo Knaim. It wns to
tUo younger that 1 turned as tho moro
likely to havo tho spirit of contest, but
s tno older who snoko,
"Horo Is your charge, Mr. Wilton,
"bo said In a low. agitated volco. Ah
8,10 spoko I felt tho faint suggestion
of tho peculiar porfutno thnt had
Krootod mo from thu brief lettors of
tho Unknown.
"I am ready for orders," I said with
a now,
"Your ordors aro in this onvolono."
saM tho Unknown, hurriedly thrust-
nig n paper luto my hand. "Drlvo for
tho boat nn.il road them on tho way.
iou navo no tlmo to lose."
Uio younger woman placed tho
child In tho hack.
"Climb In, Wulnvrlght." said I. evo
lug tho youngster unfavorably. "Will
he travel with us, ma'am? He's rather
young."
"He'll go all right," said tho eldor
woman with somo agitation. "Ho
knows that ho must. Hut treat him
carefully. Now good-by."
"Oakland ferry, driver," I cried as
I stepped into tho hack and slammed
tho door. And in a moment we wero
dashing out Into New Montgomery
street, nnd with a turn wcro on Mar
ket street, rolling over tho rough cob
bles toward tho bay.
CHAPTER XXII.
Trailed.
"Did you sco him?" asked Waln
wright, as the hack lurched into Mar
ket street and straightened Its courso
for tho ferry.
"Who?"
"Tom Terrlll. He was behind that
big pillar near tho arch there. I saw
him JuBt ns the old lady spoke to you,
but beforo I catches your eye, ho cuts
and runs."
"I didn't sco him," I said. "Keep tho
child between us, nnd shoot anybody
who tries to stop us or to climb Into
tho hack. I must read my orders."
"All right, sir," Bald Walnwright,
making tho child comfortablo between
118.
I tore opon tho onvolopo nnd drew
forth tho sconted pnpor with Its fa
mlllnr, firm, yet dcllcato handwriting,
and read tho words:
"Tako tho train with your men for
Livormore. Awnlt orders at tho hotel.
Protect tho boy at all hazards."
Inclosed in tho sheet wcro gold
notes to tho valuo of $500 n thought
ful detail for which I was grateful
at the outset of such an expedition. I
thrust tho money into my pockot and
pondered upon tho letter, wondering
whero Llvermoro might be. My knowl
edge of tho geography of California
was exceedingly scant, and Llvermoro
was no whero to bo found in my geo
graphical memory.
I had somo thought of questioning
Walnwright, who was busy trying to
mako friends with tho child, but re
flecting that I might bo supposed to
know all about It I was silent. Wain
wrlgth's efforts to get tho child to
speak wcro without success. Tho llt
tlo thing might from its size have been
flvo years old, but it was dumb
frightened, ns I supposed, by the
strangeness of tho
would speak no word
situation, and
Why was ho put thus In my charge?
What was I to do with him? Whither
was I to carry him? I ropronched my
Bolt that I had not Btoppcd tho Un
known to ask moro questions, to get
moro light on tho dutlos that woro ex
pected of me. Dut tho hack on
sudden pulled up, and I saw that wo
woro hoforo tho long, low, ugly wood
en building thnt sat squaro across
Market street as tho gatowny to San
Francisco, through which tho tldo of
travel must pnsB to and from tho Qol
den City.
"Look out on both sides, Wain
wrlght," 1 cnutlonod. "You carry tho
boy and I'll shoot if thuro's any trou
ble. Soo that you keep him safo."
"Thoro was nearly 10 minutes beforo
tho boat loft, but tho hurry for tickets
tho rush to check buggago, tho shout
of hnckmuu und expressmen, the rat
tie and confusion of tho coming and
doparttng street cars that centered at
tho forry mado us Inconspicuous
among tho throng as wo stepped out
of tho hack, -
"Horo Fitzhugh, Drown," I said
catching biht of two of my rotalnora
"got close about. Havo you seen any
thing any signs of tho onomy?"
"I havon't," said Fitzhugh, "but
Abrams thought ho saw Dotty For
giison ovor by tho Fair Wind saloon
there, nltl ho cut up Clay strcot bo
foro the rest of ub caught sight of
him bo nmjbo Abrams was oft his
nut."
"Quito likely," I admitted as w
turped the jutting cornor of tho build
lng and camo under shelter by tho
ticket office. "Dut keep a closo
ntch."
Tho other four retainers wero In
the passageway, nnd I called to tho
ticket seller for tho tickets to Liver
more. Dy tho prlco I decided that
Llvermoro must be somewhero within
GO miles, nnd marshaling my troop
about tho boy, marched into tho wait
ing room, past tho doorkeeper, through
tho sheds and on to the ferry boat.
I saw no sign of tho enemy, and
breathed freer as the last belated
passenger leaped aboard, tho folding
gangplank was raised and tho steamer,
with a prolonged blast of tho whlBtle,
slid out into tho yellow-green water
of the bay.
"Keep together, boys," I cautioned
my retainers. "Hns any one seen
Igns of tho other gang?
There was a general murmur In tho
negative.
Well, Abrams, will you slip around
nnd sco If nny of them got aboard?
There's no such thing ns being com
fortable until we nro 3urc."
In tho hurry and excitement of prep
aration nnd depnrture tho ordors I had
given nnd received, and tho work that
lllled every moment, I had been con
scious of tho unensy burden of a task
forgotten. I hnd surely neglected
something. Yet for my llfo I could not
sco that wo lacked nnythlng. I had
my soven retainers, tho boy was safo
with us, I had my purso, wo were well
armed and every man hnd his ticket to
Ivcrmorc. Dut at last tho causo of
my troubles camo to my mind.
"Great Scott!" I thought. "It's Dodd-
rldgo Knapp. That llttlo engagement
In tho stock market Is casting its
shadow before."
It seemed likely Indeed that tho de
mands of my warring employers would
clash hero as well as in the conflict
over the boy.
Yet with all tho vengeful feeling
that filled niy heart as I looked on tho
child and called up tho memory of
my murdered friend, I could but feel
a pang of regret at the prospl ct that
Doddrldgo Knapp's fortune should bo
placed in hazard through any unfaith
fulness of mine.
My uncomfortable reflections wero
broken by tho clanging cnglno bells
nnd tho forward movement of tho pas
sengers as tho steamboat passed into
tho slip at Long Wharf.
"Stand together, boys," I cautioned
my men. "Keep bnck of tho crowd.
Walnwright will tako tho boy, and the
rest of you see that nobody gets near
him."
All right," said Walnwright, lifting
tho child in his arms. "It will tako n
good man to get him away from me."
"Whoro's Abrams?" I asked, noting
that only six of my men wcro nt hand.
"you sent him forward," said Lock-
hart.
"Not for all day."
"Well, ho hasn't been seen slnco you
told him to find out who's aboard."
"It's no uso to wait for him," 1
growled. "Dut tho next man that
takes French leave hnd better look
somowhero- elso for n job, for by the
great horn spoon, ho's no man of
mine:"
Wo marched off tho boat In the rear
of the crowd, I In no pleasant humor,
and tho men silent in reflection of my
displeasure. And with somo difficulty
wo found seats together In a forward
coach.
Tho trnln was tho east-bound over
land, and it seemed hours beforo the
baggago was taken aboard and tho
signal given to start. I grew uneasy,
but ns my watch assured mo that only
10 minutes had passed when the en
glno gave tho first gentle pull at tho
train, I suspected that I was losing tho
gift of patlenco.
(TO 13E CONTINUED.)
Uso of Adjectives.
Cortnln adjectives aro resorved for
men and others for women. A man is
nover called "beautiful." Along with
pretty" and "lovely" that adjectlvo
has becomo tho property of women
nnd children alone. "Hnndsomo" and
tho weak "good-looking" aro tho only
two ndjectives of tho kind common to
either box. Even "belle" has no real
mascullno correlative In English,
slnco "beau" camo to signify some
thing other than personal looks. It Is
singular that "handsome" should have
becomo tho word for a strikingly good
looking person, slnco Its literal mean
lng is handy, dexterous. Dut "pretty'
llkowlso comes from tho Anglo-Saxon
word meaning "sly."
Brlnand'a New Means of Extortion.
Evon crcmntion has been made to
subBorvo tho purposes of tho brigand
in a manner in which tnoso interested

thero Is a crematorium with a depos

two members of a wealthy family
named Dorle. Tho police navo beon
qulto unablo to obtain any cluo but
thn family woro called un by tele-
phono tho othor evening nnd notified
that tho restoration of tho urn would
cost thorn 5,000. London Globo.
House Fly a Common Enemy.
Although tho mosquito specializes
on yellow fever nnd malaria and 1
unlvorBnlly rocognized ns an onomy
to bo fought outright, scientists havo
como to regard tho common houso fly

will spread only ono or two diseases
but tho houso fly's only specialty U

Just a Thought.

AVOID R!8K IN BUYING PAINT.
You tnko n good deal of risk if you
buy whlto lead without having nbso
luto assurance ns to its purity and
quality. You know whlto lead Is often
adulterated, often misrepresented.
Dut there's no neod at all to tako
any chances. Tho "Dutch Doy Paint
er" trndo mark of tho National Lead
Company, tho largest makers of gen
uine whlto lend, on a packago of
Whlto Lead, is a positive guoranteo
of purity nnd quality. It's as dopend
ablo ns tho Dollar Sign. If you'll

Woodbrldgo Dldg., Now York City,
thoy will sond you a simple and cer
tain outfit for testing whlto lead, and

A Doctor'a Disadvantage.
"In one way," said a collector, "it
is castor to get money from a doctor
than anybody elso who is Blow pay.
It is moro difficult for him to Bwcar
that ho hasn't been nblo to make any
collections himself slnco tho flrst of
tho year. A doctor's reception room Is
open to nil possible patients. A col
lector with a grain of Ingenuity can
find a way to worm out of tho men on
the waiting list information as to the
terms of payment. After nn Inter-
low with threo or four persons who
havo paid spot cash for troatment and
who havo told tho collector they paid,
It takes n mighty ncrvo on tho part of
tho doctor to Insist that ho hasn't a
dollar to his nnmo."
Tho extraordinary popularity of flno
whlto goods this summer makes tho
cholco of Starch a matter of great Im
portance. Doflanco Starch, being freo'
from all Injurious chemicals, is tho
only ono which is safo to uso on flno
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen
er makes half tho usual quantity ot
Starch necessary, with tho result ot
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods wero now.
