Never fail*. Buy it now. It may save life.
“And so you are your Uncle Dudley’s
heir?” cried Laura as Dau Fetter fold
ed the letter and replaced It In Its en
vehpe. “Isn’t that great?”
”.i's not much of a fortune,” explain
ed Dan. "Just before the failure Uncle
Dudley wrote that he had hoped to
leave me a lot, but that he was afraid
there was precious little left and that
was going fast Two weeks after that
the failure came, and he shot himself.
Poor Uncle Dud!”
“But there must be something,” in
sisted Laura, “and we can look for the
pirate’s treasure.”
“And lose what little there Is left,”
suggested Dan. “That chart was all
right to study over In the winter even
ings, Laurie, but It’s a different thing
to sink money In a search for treas
ure burled 300 years ago off the Argen
tine coast.”
“But this Is real,” suggested Laura,
going to the desk and taking there
from the well worn parchment which
had furnished them amusement for so
many long winter evenings. It was
well preserved, and Dan could clearly
trace the lines and written directions.
This paper had been handed down in
the Klngsland family since one of the
early Kiugslands, a sailor In the Brit
ish navy, had befriended a member of
a plra^ crew captured In the Spanish
main. Just before the prisoner went
to his execution he had slipped into the
hand of his benefactor a roll of parch
ment which had come down through
past generations, gaining in romance
with each year.
Now the two poured over the old
map with renewed interest since there
was at least the possibility that they
might have the means for prosecuting
the search. Dan was Inclined to be
skeptical, but Laura would not have it
80.
"it is a real treasure, ’ sue declared.
“I know that It is real, and I will
never forgive you, Dan, if you don't
go after it. Think of the years we
have been wishing that we had
enough money to flt out an expedition!
Now our chance has come, and you’re
laughing at the idea. You must go,
Dan.”
‘‘We'll see what Uncle Dudley’s for
tune is,” he temporized. “Wait until
the estate can be settled.”
It was not a long wait. Dudley Fet
ter had been forced into bankruptcy
after a long career as a shipping mer
chant. The disappointment had so
preyed upon his mind that he had kill
ed himself, and the little old lawyer
who was at once his counsel, receiver
and executor soon disentangled the
muddle. Dan found himself owner of
a tramp steamer and some $7,000 in
mouey.
He was inclined to sell the steamer,
but Laura would not hear of it. She
was firm in her faith in the pirate’s
map, and she at last carried her point
through, only after she had declared
that she would break her engagement
if Dan did not undertake the trip.
The captain of the Dudley was u
weather beaten old man of fifty, whose
shrewd eyes twinkled when the sub
jeqt was broached to him.
“I never heard of ’em that far
south,” he declared; “but, Lord love ye,
there’s pirate’s gold hidden from the
north pole to the south—to hear ’em
tell it. It’s as likely to be there as
anywhere.”
“Will $5,000 take us down and
back?” demanded the cautious Dan.
Captain Glass removed the pipe from
his lips the better to smile.
“Down and back and down again,”
he asserted. “Anyway, you don’t have
to worry about getting back. We can
easily get a load at Buenos Ayres or
Rio to pay the cost of the up trip. It'll
make a nice little sail for you, seeing
as you’ve never been to sea. Why not
make it a bridal tour? Brides bring
luck to ships. Maybe with a bride we
could find the gold.”
“I know you will!” cried Laura,
jumping up to plant a kiss on Dan's
cheek. “We’ll be married on board
the Dudley before she sails.”
The last argument was a clincher,
and Dan gave in. Ten days later the
men were called aft to witness a quiet
little wedding, and as the minister
went over the side a noisy little tug
helped the Dudley get out into the
stream and point her nose to the
south.
It was a long, delightful honeymoon
to these two, who had never seen the
ocean until Dan had come to New
York to claim his legacy. They had a
day or two of seasickness, but this
soon passed, and after that, as they
slipped over the blue waters, Laura’s
confidence in the quest grew amazing
ly. Even Dan began to share her en
thusiasm long before they had crossed
the equator.
At lust the course was altered, and
the Dudley headed inland until the
black, forbidding cliffs loomed darkly
before them. It was no easy matter to
pick their way through uncharted
channels, but at last the steamer slip
ped into a little bay, and Captain
Glass declared it to be the spot shown
In the map.
Here the rocks did not come sharply
down to the water’s edge, but ran in
land, forming a sheltered nook of some
few hundred acres in extent. The two
huge rocks which marked the entrance
to the buy and a peak of the distant
spur of the Andes formed their range
marks, and as soon as they had put up
tents on shore Dan, who had studied
civil engineering, got out his transit
and began to lay off the,lines.
Th® cross marks fell near the liase of
the cliff where the sides* were more
precipitous than elsewhere, and for
two days the men from the steamer la
bored to clear a way the underbrusfi.
“We shall huve to dig deep,” remind
ed Laura. “There must have been a
heavy deposit of earth during the 300
years that have elapsed.”
“We’ll dig through to China if nec
essary,” declared Dan as he watched
the men work. In anticipation of the
digging some laborers had been
brought along, and for ten hours a day
they took out the sandy loam. At the
end of three weeks they had a huge
hole in the ground, but there was no
trace of treasure chests, and Dan and
the captain began to lose faith, even
though Laura grew more confident as
the days progressed.
“We'll get it yet,” she Insisted. “Just
keep digging and the honeymoon for
tune hunters will sail back to New
York with millions.”
“I'll dig one more day,” promised
Dan. “and then we must be getting
back. The provisions are getting low,
and we are only losing time.”
Laura pleaded, but Dan was firm,
and that night she sobbed softly in
the tent while as though in sympathy
the heavens opened their floodgates
and the rain poured down. It was the
first rain of the season, and had it not
been for Captain Glass’ precaution in
ditching the tents they must have been
swept away by the flood that poured
across the little strip of land.
It was a melancholy scene that greet
ed their eyes as the sun rose the next
morning. The underbrush was wash
ed away, and as they made a path to
the excavation a cry burst from their
lips. The water had undermined the
banks, and in place of the hole was a
sea of mud.
“That’s the answer,” said Dan grim
ly, as he pointed to the spot. “There’s
the work of six weeks gone for noth
ing.”
"But look across,” said Laura, point
ing to the cliff, where now a narrow
hole, uncovered by the landslide, made
Itself apparent. “Perhaps that is it.”
Carefully skirting the excavation,
Dan and the captain gingerly made
their way across to the cavity and with
a wave of their hands disappeared. It
was two hours before they returned,
and then Dan came running out with
a cry of triumph.
“It was a gold mine, not buried treas
ure, that the old pirate was talking
about, he explained breathlessly. “It
is one of the richest mines in the coun
try.”
Laura smiied into the eager face. “X
knew it would come out all right,” she
said. "It just had to be the end of the
honeymoon.”
Sense of 8mell.
It is said that the sense of smell is
better developed In men than in wom
en. In human beings, however, it is
but slightly developed as compared
with the lower animals. The reason
for this becomes apparent when the
Structure of the skull of a dog or a
cat is examined. Observing the nasal
passages of either of these creatures,
it is found that the so called turbinated
bones are twisted and folded in a com
plicated fashion, so as to make a great
extent of surface in a small space. The
interior of the labyrinth thus formed
is lined with the'mucous membrane
that contains the extremities of the
nerves of smell. A section through
the turbinated bones of a bear, which
has a particularly keen sense of smell,
resembles a honeycomb. In a human
being the turbinated bones are poorly
developed, so that the surface of mu
cous membrane Is comparatively small.
The sense of smell is particularly
acute in some fishes, as the sharks.
The olfactory membrane of a big
shark, if spread out, would cover a
dozen square feet.
A Tragedy of Niagara.
The story of Niagara is full of
strange tragedies. One of the most
dramatic of them is as follows: A hun
dred yards above the brink of the
American falls a rock ten feet square
projects for a foot above the water in
midstream. One morning the inhabit
ants awoke and suw a man sitting on
it. The noise of the rapids prevented
verbal communication. They did not,
do not and never will know how he
got there. He stayed there thirty-six
hours. The people telegraphed to Buf
falo, and the railway company sent
one excursion train after another for
thirty-six hours to see the man on the
rock. They painted signs and stuck
them up for the man to read, saying,
“We will save you.” Two hundred
yards above there is a bridge. From
this by ropes they floated rafts with
provisions to him. At the end of his
stay a big raft came for him to get on.
What they were going to do with him
if they got him in this seething rapid
is not known. He tried and failed
and went over the fall, and that is all.
Tombs as Dwellings.
It is surprising to strangers to find
Egyptian families occupying some of
the tombs which have been excavated
and abandoned. It seems uncanny to
see babies playing cheerfully about
the doors of the tomb houses and to
watch chickens running in and out as
they do at the mud dwellings. When
questioned about the tombs a drago
man said that those occupied as homes
had been tombs of ordinary citizens of
no value as show places for tourists.
As some of them have several rooms
extending into the rock and as they
are cool in the hottest days of sum
mer and warm in the cool days of win
ter, they are altogether desirable as
homes. The Egyptians do not share
the horror of dead bodies felt by Eu
ropeans. Children run about with
pieces of mummies, and if they can
not dispose of them to tourists they
play with them. A mummified foot
or hand is so common in Luxor that
one may be purchased for a few cents

Many Sleepless Nights, Owing to a
Persistent Cough. Relief Found
at Last.
“For several winters past my wife
has been trousled with a most persist
ent and disagreeable cough, which in
variably extended over a period of sev
eral weeks and caused her many sleep
less nights,” writes Will J-Hayner,
editor of the Burley, Colo., Bulletin.
“Various remedies were tried each
year, with no beneficial results. In
November last the cough again put in
an appearance and my wife, actiug on
the suggestion of a friend, purchased
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Rem
edy. The result was indeed marvel
ous. After three doses the c >ugh en
i irely disappeared and has not mani
fested itself since.” This remedy is
