The immediate causes of headaches

is scanty or thin tho nerves are imper
fectly nourished and pain is tho way in
which they express their weakness In
colds tho blood absorbs poison from tho
mucous surfaces and tho poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain In rheu
matism malaria and tho grip the poison
in tho blood produces like discomfort In
indigestion tho gases from the impure
matter kept in tho system affect tho

Tho ordinary headache cures at best
give only temporary relief They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of tho blood Dr Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the

these pills an unfailing relief in head

CHAPTER XIV
The Attempt to Assassinate Golden
When the party camped for the
night Lang separated from Golden and
made himself useful helping the wom
en folks prepare supper
Pondering on the events of the
night before and on the conversation
that he had had with Golden Lang
came to the conclusion which was the
just one that Golden had a reason
for quizzing him beyond the mere
fact of desiring to enlighten him about
the Convict City
Golden had been recalled to the
city this might mean much or little
It might mean that the old mans la
bors had been appreciated and that
he was to be finally rewarded or it
might mean that something was trans
piring among the people which made
his presence necessary or it might
be that he was to be punished for
some miscarriage of their plans The
fear of the latter made Golden ill at
ease
The night was slowly drawing to a
close Quiet reigned The last em
bers of the camp fires were dying out
The white tents of the campers in
which the men slept could be barely
discerned in the darkness Up to a
late hour Lang had remained in com
pany with the women folks furnish
ing music and singing songs as was
his custom When he did retire it was
to lie and toss in restless slumber for
hours To Lang the fact that he had
been assigned different sleeping quar
ters on this night away from Golden
and that Golden had been given a tent
all alone in something of an unpro
tected and deserted part of the vast
circle was more than accident It
only takes a little thing to make a
wakeful man suspicious and Lang
was suspicious Strange fancies took
possession of him and he slept only
in short fitful naps He came to the
conclusion that designs were on the
gang They did not show their hos
tility openly however and finally
placed in custody the would be assas
sin meanwhile appearing pleased that
Golden was yet alive Neither Lang
nor Golden were deceived though
Of course there was excitement All
were not aware of the attempt be
fore and were generally horrified at
the cold bloodedness of the attack the
women folks especially
Golden clung to Louis like a child
to his parent until the dawn appear
ed Then he was himself again Gold
en was well aware now of his ultimate
doom He knew that these men must
have been put up to it by some one
high in authority or they would never
have dared to lay their hands on him
in the manner they contemplated
When the train again moved off
Golden was given a place to ride in
one of the schooners and at the re
quest of the wounded man Lang was
rlaced upon the seat as driver of the
wagon During the progress of the
march Lang managed to draw out of
line away from the hearing of any
other part of the train
I told you last evening that I was
going to make a confidant of you
said Golden opening up the conversa
tion I am more resolved now than
ever since my life has been attempt
ed I am positive it was by the order
of the present king What his object
is I cannot tell The king you
should know is the only personage
who has more power than another in
the colony But as I said before even
he has no right to kill without giving
a chance for life This shows me
that the people themselves do not
wish my death if they did the penal
ty would have been exacted under
cover of the law Though I escaped
last night through your watchfulness
there are many ways yet in which it
may be taken You saved my life but
I am afraid that you have incurred the
ill will of the people who must be
Bounded across the open space
life of Golden Louis had waited in ex
pectancy of hearing some unusual
sound some note of warning given
At last unable to endure the suspense
any longer our hero got up
All was darkness and quiet Leav
ing his sleeping partners Limpy Jim
and Pete soundly sleeping for a mo
ment Louis stood in the doorway of
his tent enveloped in its folds
Through the darkness Lang thought
he discovered a moving from between
him and Goldens tent Without a
sound without a moments warning
Louis bounded across the open space
As he turned to leave his tent he im
agined that there was some one prowl
ing around his own tent but with the
thought uppermost in his own mind to
prevent an attack on Golden he wast
ed no time in attempting to learn who
the prowler was or what the purpose
might be in prowling around his own
tent at this unseemly hour
As Lang hurried across the open he
drew his billy and held it ready for
use Hearing a noise as if of a strug
gle Louis with a yell of warning bold
ly entered Goldens tent and as a
form bounded up from the earth grap
pled with it Our hero was placed at
rather a disadvantage not knowing
with whom he was tussling whether
an assassin or Golden himself The
yell uttered by Louis awoke several
of the emigrants some person lit a
torch and lit up the scene Before
help arrived Louis had succeeded in
disarming and throwing his antagonist
upon the ground
The arrival of light made explana
tions easy Goldens life had been
attempted A light sleeper the old
man had been aroused by hearing
somebody feeling around his person
and attempted to grapple with his as
sassin Louis timely arrival and
shout had perhaps Saved the life of
Golden for the would be murderer
stung for a momeiit at the thought of
the unexpected arrival of aid for Gold
en did not strike the fatal blow but
in the melee which ensued simply
blindly struck at his victim cutting
a deep gash in Goldens leg
You have saved my life said
Golden coming to the side of Louis
lLang could see the evrl scowls on the
jfaces of several of the teamsters and
fcnew that he h4 no friend la the
your comrades and that may place
even your life in jeopardy
Never mind me was Langs an
swer I look at this differently than
you do If as you say the people do
not desire you death they must de
sire to again place you in power If
such is the case I have gained rather
than lost by the transaction See
You are a riddle replied Golden
but whether honest or otherwise I
mean to do you a favor Sometime
you may tire of Paradise that is the
name of our city I mean to tell you
how and where to leave it when you
are ready to do so I helped build the
town It is a poor builder who does
not know where to find the weakest
spot I had an idea when I built
that some time I should like to leave
the place and built accordingly leav
ing an opening known only to myself
This entrance is through the cellar
of a little cottage which is built upon
the side of one of the three large hills
that surround the town It is in the
shape of a tunnel which was once
the fountain head of the river which
flows through the town Entering the
cellar and uncovering the mouth of
the tunnel one could travel to the
very heart of the mountain and find
an exit through what seems to be a
bears cave The door here is pro
tected by an artificial barrier of rocks
which could be easily removed I do
not think that this secret has ever
been discovered because over and
around the cave I have planted young
trees which undoubtedly hide the en
trance The cottage is supposed to be
haunted When the winds bowr sighs
moans and unearthly noises are heard
You can readily understand that I am
the one who haunts that ranch I put
so much -confidence in you that I tell
you the secret that you may profit by
my experience It is a terrible
thought to me that I am being brought
to this terrible out of the way place to
be killed or held in bondage I am
not afraid to die but I do not wish to
die and leave my wife and boy at the
mercy of a cruel and unjust world
Yes I am married I have a fair
haired rosy cheeked boy and a lovely
little wife They are my joy and my
pride and so far above me that I fair
ly worship them I have tried to live
an upright life with them Whea I
found that my past might rise up and
haunt them and make them blush for
my sins I left them In ignorance of
my true character I know that they
do not want for temporal things be
cause I keep them supplied with
money I have been a millstone
around my loved ones neck but I
have tried to do well by them I am
fearful now that I will be taken away
from them and that they will be left
without a protector
I too am a father said Louis
Lang And I can sympathize with
you There was a tinge of sadness
in his voice He longed to tell his
friend for such he considered Golden
that he had hopes of returning to civ
ilization with money and fame that
he was here to attempt the breaking
up of the vipers nest but he re
frained
You have awakened in me holy
thoughts continued Louis I once
was happy in married life but death
that cruel reaper took away my loved
one from me She was the only one
who believed that I was not wholly
bad Her loss drove me mad The
demon drink caught me in his Iron
clutch and I sank from a true position
to the dregs I may return I may
reform I may yet live in peace with
my child who as yet is unconscious
of guilt or of his fathers crime
Yes You may return You may
return now if you say the word
Louis stopped him with an Impatient
gesture Tempt me not he said
I would not feel satisfied with myself
if I turned back I will on and see
this adventure to its end though it
end in death and ignominy
But I do not wish death to end
you cried the old man in spirit
Death may claim me but I want you
to live to tell my wife I dieddied a
repentant man died with her pure
name on my lips I want you to live
to see that she needs for nothing I
have placed in a Chicago bank suf
ficient funds to keep them in com
fort a lifetime They need never
know how I came by it I wish you
to see that they get It Will you
promise me
If I live to return to Chicago I
will see that your family want for
nothing but if I were you I would
never say die There are many slips
twixt cup and lip The battle
is not always to the strong If as
jou say the people do not desire your
death rise up you were king once
why not become one again
It is not possible I am meeting
my just reward for a life of crime
But you need not think of my dying
For the love I bear my wife I will
make your escape easy
Golden set your mind at rest If
I live neither you nor your family will
suffer while I can help them Ill tell
you the truth and brave the conse
quences I mean to go back and
when I do it will not be in fear of
the assassins knife I am young
like better men before me I am am
bitious I mean to be king of Para
dise before I leave or there will be
no king cried Lang
At last I understand you was the
triumphant reply of Golden Or
there will be no Paradise Thats
what you mean to say
Or there will be no Lang as
sented Lang
So be it said Golden who seem
ed to fall in with the spirit of Lang
I saw it rise would that I could see
it fall
Give me your aid said Lang Re
venge yourself of these people who
have attempted your life Between
the two of us we can overthrow the
octopus What do you say
I am with you body and soul
Did Golden mean what he said
Would the faithful servant of an un
holy cause turn upon his treacherous
friends and deliver them to the hang
man Was Louis Lang true to him
self and Denver in thus giving away
his mission The tide of battle oft
entimes hangs upon a slender thread
Would Golden prove true

MULE RACES WITH A TRAIN
Takes a Daily Workout of Half a
Mile Alongside the Track
Id like to know who owns that
mule -just east of Bates City said
George Jacques yesterday the engi
neer who pulls the Altons hummer
the Chicago limited train into Kansas
City Talk about running why hed
make The Picket or McChesney want
to hide Ill bet he can do a mile in
137
The limited train does not stop at
Bates City and before it passes into
the city limits it is doing easily fifty
miles an hour Passing a pasture by
the side of the track Jacques has a
race with the mule every trip
I can see him watching for me
the engineer said and the minute I
blow the whistle hes off He fudges
a little we dont get away well and
by the time I get to the post the mule
is several hundred yards away his
head and tail both extended and run
ning like a racer He has a half mile
to make his dash Of course the big
engine simply runs away from him
but Ill tell you that mule is deter
mined to win a race yet He looks for
it every morning When the train has
passed him he stops and watches un
til we are out of sight He takes
his run nearly every morning Id
miss that mule if he was taken
away

PALACES OF THE SULTAN
They Bring to Strangers Mind a Vi
sion of Arabian Nights
In spite of tho extreme lack of
architectural beauty there is a cer
tain plcturesqueness and softness in
the Constantinople street scene which
forms a pleasing background to the
stately palaces of the sultan says A
Maundevillo in tho Era Magazine
Perhaps it is merely the contrast be
tween the dingy wood colored houses
of the people and the pure white mar
ble or gilded stucco of the royal build
ings which bring to the strangers
mind a vision of enchanted palaces of
the Arabian Nights The soft tints
of shade the wavering reflections in
the Bosporous the fancy that a pair
of black dreamy eyes may be looking
out through the lattice windows the
charm of the mysterious the horror
of the tragedies which rumor says
have been enacted withic the palace
walls the curiosity to know if there
is really a trap door and just how
beautiful was the Circassian slave
girl who lost the favor of her im
perial master and suddenly disap
peared in the dark subterranean
stream connecting with the Bosporous
and a thousand other fancies tend to
enhance the vision And the architect
may tell you that the palaces have
not the proper proportions that the
details do not harmonize with the
size or form that there are hundreds
of private houses in America more
magnificent more durable of better
architectural design and with finer
surroundings but in spite of it all
the palaces of the sultan have an ir
resistible charm which wraps the
stranger in intense admiration and al
ways remains with the old resident at
the Turkish capital
FIRES THAT NEVER GO OUT
Hearths In England Have Been Kept
Glowing for Centuries
There are domestic fires burning in
Yorkshire England to day which
have never been out for hundreds of
years At the old fashioned farm
houses in the dales of Yorkshire peat
is still burned The fuel is obtained
from the moors and stacks of it are
kept by the farmers in their stack
garths
The country round is noted for its
griddle cakes which are made from
dough baked in quaint pans suspended
over the pea fires These fires are
kept glowing from generation to gen
eration and the son warms himself at
the fire which warmed his sire and his
grandsire and his grandsires sires and
which will warm his son and his sons
son
There is a fire at Castleton in the
Whitby district which has been burn
ing for over 200 years The record
probably is held by a farmhouse at
Osmotherly in the same district This
fire has been burning for 500 years
and there are records to show that it
has not been out during the last three
centuries
Definite Directions
Where time is not money ideas of
distance are always uncertain and
frequently confusing
About how far is it to Gourdville
asked a stranger of a North Carolinian
who sat on the veranda holding up
the front side of the house
Two hoots and a look reckn
was the laconic reply
Well how far is that queried the
stranger impatiently
Twicet as fur as yo kin holler an
as fur as yu kin see beyond thet
But Im consumptive and cant
holler at all urged the traveler
How am I to tell anything from such
a direction as that
Better look twicet an not holler at
all was the answer Gourdville
aint wuth hollerin about nohow
Golden Days
Jes Lookin On
Seems to me jes lookin on that things
is travelin fast
Taint half so easy livin as in the good
old days thats past
We used to slow up thn a while an
take a little rest
An git a taste of things we folks ac
counted best
Mebbe Im a bit too slow for this new
century rush
But I long for flowery meadows and the
woodlands gentle hush
Away off in the valleys where the flowers
softly bloom
Where there aint no rush an hustle an
theres always plenty room
Seems to me jes lookin on we are car-
ryin too much steam
Better hug the shores a while than get
out in the stream
Its safer in the by ways than along
the crowded street
Where youre jostled an youre hustled
by ever one you meet
Mebbe lifes to hustle jes to always race
for gold
But theres better things for nothin that
cant be bought or sold
Aint so long to be here if you goin to
take you better give
An seems to me jes lookin on thats
the better way to live
