The Plan Upon Which Coffee Oper-

I
Coffee is such a secret worker that
it is net suspected as the cause of
I sickness or disease , but here Is a very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter :
esting experience her husband had
1 with coffee. It seems that he had
I been using it for some time and was
an invalid.
l i The physician in charge shrewdly
: suspected that coffee was the "Worm
! at the root of tbe tree , " and ordered
I I E It discontinued with instructions to . I
t use Postum regularly in its place.
' The wife says : "We found that I
t was the true remedy for his stomach I
I -and heart trouble and we would have
J gladly paid a hundred times the
I amount of the doctor's charge when
we found how wise his judgment was :
I "The use of Postum instead of cofI I
s fee was begun about a year ago , and I
j it has made my husband a strong ,
t -well man. He has gained thirtyfivea
I pounds in that time and his stomach a
r i and heart trouble have all disappear-
ed.
I
! "The first time I prepared it I did
-cot boil it long enough and he said
there was something wrong with It
Sure enough , it did taste very fiat , but
! , the next morning I followed directions
E f carefully , boiling it for fifteen min-
utes , and he remarked 'this is better
than any of the old coffee. '
" "We use Postum regularly and
never tire of telling our friends of r
the benefit we have received from leav-
k ing off coffee. "

CHAPTER XVI. - ( Continued. )
With a swift , Instinctive movement
both of them turned away. Each read
In the other's face consciousness of
the impossibility of discussing those
'experiences ' through which they had
come to be what they were. Such men
guard the real history of their lives
and the real emotions of their hearts
, , as jealously as the combinations of
their cards. The old , Ironical smile
lighted up Mantel's features , and i he
said : '
"We seem to have a violent antipa-
,
thy to thin ice , Davy , and skate away
from it as soon as it begins to crack a
little beneath our feet.
"Yes , " said his friend , shrugging his ,
'
shoulders , "It is not pleasant to fall
through the crust of friendship. There
Is a sub-element in every life a too
sudden plunge into which might result

"I wish that I could keep my own

ily as I can keep others ! Why is it
that no man has ever yet been able to

seems a reasonable. demand. "
"He is a poor sexton-this old man ,
the Past. I have watched him at his
work , and he is powerless to dig his
own grave , however many others he
may have excavated ! "
"The Present seems as helpless at
the Past. I wonder if the future will
heap enough new events over old ones
to hide them from view ? "
Let : a shadow bury the sun ! Let 'a '
wave bury the sea , " answered David ,
bitterly.
Mandel dropped his eyes in silence.
For the first time since David had
known him , his fine face gave some
genuine revelation of the emotions of
his soul. Great tears gathered in his
eyes , and his lips trembled. In a mo
ment , he arose , took his hat , laid his
hand gently upon the arm of his
friend , and said , "David , my dear fel
low , we are skating on that thin ice
again. We shall fall through if " - are
not careful , ' and get that chill you
were talking about. Let's go out and
take a walk. Life is too deep , for either
you or me to fathom. I gave it up as
a bad job long ago. Come , let us go.
We need the air. "
They went' down into the streets and
lost themselves in the busy crowd of
care-encumbered men. Suddenly Man-
tel was startled by an abrupt change
In the manner of his companion , who
paused and stood as if rooted to the
pavement , while his great blue' eyes
opened beyond their natural -width
with a fixed stare.
Following the direction of their gaze , '
Mantel saw that they were fixed on a
blind beggar who sat on a stool at
the edge of the sidewalk , silent and
motionless like an old snag on the
bank of a river-the perpetual stream
of human life forever flowing by. His
head was bare ; in his outstretched :
hand he 'held a tin cup . which jingled 1
now and then as some "compassionate ]
traveler dropped him a coin ; by his
Bide , looking up occasionally into his
unresponsive eyes , was a little terrier , ]
his solitary companion and 'guide in a
world of perpetual night. ]
The face of the man was a remark-
able one , judged by almost any stand-
ard. It was large in size , strong in
outline , and although he was a beg-
gar , It wore an expression of power ,
of independence and resolution like
that of another Belisarlus. But the
feature which first arrested and long- (
est held attention , was an enormous (
moustache. It could not have been 1
less than fourteen inches from tip to t
Up , was carefully trimmed and trainf
ed , and although the man himse'lf was
still comparatively young , was white "
as snow. Occasionally he set his cup
on his knee and with both hands twist-
ed the ends into heavy ropes.
It was a striking face and exacted
from every observer more than a pass- I
Ing look ; but remarkable as it was ,
Mantel could not discover any reason
for the strained and terrible interest
of his companion , who stood staring s ' o
long and in such a noticeable way ,
that he was in danger of himself atl'
tracting the attention of the curious g
crowd. t :
Seeing this , Mantel took him by the r
arm. ! "What is the matter ? " he asked. Y
"It is. he ! " cried David , drawing his s
hand over his. eyes like a man , awak- p
ening from a dream ; "it is he ! " p
'
"It is who ? Are you mad ! Come
a.way ! People are observing you. If
there : is anything wrong , we must b
move or get into trouble. " 1 :
"Let me alone ! " David replied , shak- tl
Inff off his hand. "I would rather die y
than : lose sight of that . man. " n
"Then come Into this doorway where is
you can watch him unobserved , for you n
are making a spectacle of yourself.
Come : , or I shall drag you. " p ,
With his eyes still riveted on that IT
strange countenance , David yielded to 01
the pressure of his friend's hand and tl
they retired to a hallway whence he dl
could watch the beggar unobserved. 01
His whole frame was quivering' with to
excitement and he kept murmuring to ni
himself : "It is i he. It is he ! I cannot
be mistaken : ! Nature never made his
double ! But how he has changed !
Flow old and white he is ! It cannot d. .
be his ghost , can it ? If it were night C (
mig-ht think so , but it is broad dayal
light ! This man is living flesh and re
blood and my hand is not , after all , ply
the ! hand of a mur - " li1
"Hush ! " cried Mantel ; "you : are of
talking : aloud ! "
"Yes. I am talking aloud , " he anb
swered , "and I mean to talk louder nE
yet ! I want you to hear that I am not ful

to the streets to cry out at the top of
my voice-I am not a murderer ! "
Terrified at his violence Mantel
pushed him farther back into the door1
waly ; but he sprang out again as if
his very life depended upon the sight
of the great white face.
"Be quiet ! " Mantel cried , seizing his
arm with an iron grip.
"Look at this hand , Mantel ! I have
not looked at it myself for more than
three years without seeing spots of
blood on it ! And now it looks as white
as snow to me ! "
"You are in danger of being over-
heard , and if you are not careful , in a
moment more we shall be in the hands
of the police ! " -
"No matter if I am , " cried David ,
almost beside himself , and rapturously
embracing his friend. "Nothing could
give me more pleasure than a trial for
my crime , for my victim would be my
witness ! He is not dead. He" Is out
there in the street. Mantel , you don't
I
know what happiness it ! You don't
know ] how sweet it is to be alive ! A
mountain has been taken from my
shoulders. I no longer have any se-
cret ! I will tell you the whole story
of. my life , now. "
"Not now ; but later on , when we are
alone. "
David had now grown more quiet
and they stood patiently waiting for
the time to come when the old beggar
should leave his post and retire to his
home , ' if home he had. At last he re-
ceived his signal for departure. A
shadow fell from the roof of the' tall
building opposite , upon the pupil of an
eye , which perhaps felt the darkness It
could not seeThe building was his
dial. Like millions of his fellow cread
tures , he measured life by advancing
shadows. '
He arose , and in his mien and move-
ments there ; was a certain majesty.
Placing his hat upon his storm-beaten
head ; he folded the camp-chair under
his arm , took the leading string in his
hand and followed the little dog , who
began picking his way with fine care
through the surging crowd.
Behind him at a little distance walk-
ed the two gamblers , pursuing him
like a double shadow. A bloodhound
could not have been more 'eager than
David was. He trembled if an omni-
bus cut off his view for a single in"N
stant , and shuddered if the beggar
turned a corner.
Unconscious of all this , the dog and
his master wended their way home-
ward. They crawled slowly and quiet-
ly across a street over which thunderei
ed an endless procession of vehicles ;
they moved like snails ' through the
surf of the ocean of life. Arriving at
length at the door of a wretched tene-
ment house , the blind man and his dog
entered.
As he noted the-squalor of the place ,
David murmured to himself , "Poor old
man ! How low he has fallen ! "
Several minutes passed in silence ,
while he stood reflecting on the doc-
tor's misery , his own new happiness
and the opportunities and duties which
the adventure had opened and im
posed. At last he said to his friend ,
"Do you know where we are ? I was
so absorbed that I didn't , notice our
route at all. "
"Yes , " Mantel answered. "I have
marked every turn of the way. "
"Could you find' the place again ? "
"Without the slightest difficulty. "
"Be sure , for if you wish to help me ,
as I think you do , you will have to
come often. i have made my plans in
the : few moments in which I have been
standing here , and am determined to
devote my life , if need be , to this poor
creature whom I have so wronged. I
must get him out of this filthy hole in-
to some cheerful place. I will atone
for the past if I can ! Atone ! What a
word that isVith ! what stunning
force its meaning dawns upon me !
How : many times I have heard and ut
tered it without comprehension. But
somehow ; I now see in it a revelation
of the sweetest possibility of life. Oh !
am a changed man ; I will make
atonement , ! Come , let us go. I am
anxious to begin. But
no , I must pro-
ceed with caution. How do I know
that this is his permanent home ? He
may be only lodging for the night , and
when you : come to-morrow , he may be '
gone : ! Go in , Mantel , and make sure
that we shall find him here tomorm
row. Go , and while you find out all it
you can about him , I will begin to
search for such a place as I want to p
put him in. We will part for the p
present ; but when we meet to-night c
we shall have much to talk about. I
will tell you the whole of this long and
bitter story. I am so happy , Mantel.
You can't understand ! I have somen
thing to live for now. I will work , oh , "
you do not know how I will work to '
make this atpnement. What a word it a
; ! It is music to my ears. Atone-
ment ! "
And in the I !
so lexicon of human ex-
perience he had at last discovered the "
meaning of one of the great words of * n
our language. After all , experience is I
the only exhaustive dictionary , * and the
definitions it contains are the only

charity. . The moment , the ' strain of buy

, him , the physical ruin which the ter
rible blow of the stone , the subsequen
illness , and th6 ensuing poverty and
wretchedness had wrought , became
manifest. He experienced a sudden
relapse , and began to sink into an
ominous decline.
Even had he not known the secret
of his sorrow , it would have soon be
come plain to his acute and watchfu 1
nurse that some hidden trouble was 3
gnawing at his heart , for he was taci -
turn , abstracted and sometimes mo
rose. He manifested no curiosity as to
the benefactor upon whose charity he
was living , but received the alms be-
stowed by that unknown hand unsolicc
ited , uncomprehended and unobserved .
His mind , aroused by the conversa-
tion of his untiring nurse to the reali
ties of the present existence , would
sink back by a sort of irresistible
gravity into the realm of memory.
There , in the impenetrable privacy of
his soul , he brooded over his wrongs
and counted his prospects of righting
them , as a miser reckons his coins.
The blow struck by David had stun-
ned the doctor , but had not killed him.
He lay in the road until a slave , pass-
ing that way , picked him up and car-
ried him to a neighboring plantation ,
where he fell into the hands of people
who In the truest sense of the word
were good Samaritans. Their hospital-
ity was tested to the utmost , for he
lay for weeks in a stupor , and when he
recovered consciousness his reason had
undergone a strange eclipse. For a
long 1 < time he could not recall a single
event in his history and when at last
some of the most prominent began to
re-present themselves to his view it
was vaguely and slowly , as mountain-
peaks and hill-tops break through a
morning mist. This was not the only ,
result of the blow which his rival had
struck him ; it had left him totally
blind.
Not until many weeks had passed
did Mantel succeed in really engaging
his patient in anything like a conver-
sation ; , and even after he had begun to
thaw ] a little under those tactful - ' " - I
istrations of love , whenever the past
was even hinted at the old recluse re-
lapsed instantly" into silence.
Mantel might have been discouraged
had he not determined at all hazards
to < enter into the secrets of this life ,
and to pave the way for the forgive-
ness of his friend. He therefore per-
sisted in his efforts , and one bright
day when the invalid was feeling un-
usually strong ventured to press home
his inquiries.
"I cannot help thinking , " he said ,
"that you could soon be reasonably
well again if you did not brood so
much. I' fear there is some trouble
gnawing at your heart. "
"There is , " he was answered , icily.
"Have you wronged some one , then ,
and are these thoughts which vex you
feelings of remorse and guilt ? "
"Wronged some one ! " the sick man
fairly roared , gripping the arms of his
chair ] and gasping for breath in the
excitement which the question brought
on. "Not I ! I have been wronged !
z1 No one has ever b-b-been wronged as
I have. XI have nourished vipers in my
b-b-bosom * and been stung by them.
I have sown love and reaped hate. I
have been robbed , deceived and betray- -
ed ! My wife is gone ! My health Is
gone ! My sight is gone ! He has
skinned me like a sheep ! My heart
has , turned to a hammer which knocks
at my ribs and cries revenge ! It ch-
ch-chokes me ! " .
He gasped , grew purple in the face
and clutched at his collar as if about
to strangle. After a while the par-
oxysm passed away , and Mantel deters
mined once more to try and assuage '
this implacable hatred.
( To be continued. )

one of the type presided over a little
seaside parish in Lincolnshire.

On Sunday he was preaching to his '

d
the second head , of his discourse , when
the church door was cautiously opened
and a head appeared followed by a ®
beckoning finger. The parson either
did not see , or lie would not heed the
intruder , who then gave a loud cough.
The preacher stopped in his preach-
ing in the middle of a sentence and sc
excitedly asked : "What is it , John ? "
"Cocks istcoom , " replied John.

ISLAND HERMIT'S HOME.
.
I James "Willis Waa 25 Yearn Alone ,
Yet He Entertained Thousand
James Willis , the hermit of WIllis'
Island in the Delaware at Yardley ,
Pa. , has just celebrated the twenty- ;
.
fifth anniversary of his habitation
there , durjng , which time he has en-
tertained at his cabin more than 2,000
prominent visitors from all parts of
the country , the Philadelphia Record
says. One of the first things neces-
sary for a visitor to do when calling
on Mr. Willis is to register in a large
book , after which the guest is ob
liged to partake of generous hopital-
ity.
ity.Of
Of course , there are scores of per-
sons near by who are frequent visitors
to the Island , coming almost every day ,
but they are not counted among the
guests required to register. . . .
Twenty-five years ago Mr. Willis was
a business man in Philadelphia , and ,
coming here for a few weeks' vacation
was favorably impressed with the is
land which was then a wilderness. To-
day it has a very different appearance
and the cabin in which he lives is fit-
ted up with every modern convenience ,
all the work of the owner. The place
is secretly wIred and everything is
within tne power of electricity.
Electricity opens the doors , closes
the windows , operates fans to make
breezes and many are the jokes played
upon his visitors by Mr. Willis , for not
even a book can be picked up with-
out feeling the presence of an unseen
force.
While residing here Mr. Willis has
met with many discouragements , floods
having several times practically clean

With renewed energy , however , he has
rebuilt and to-day the Island -Is the

"At first an eruption of small pus- ! "

spread later to other parts of my body , - , /
and the itching [ at times was intense,1 .
so ; much so that I literally tore the /
skin off in shreds In seeking relief. .
The awful itching interfered with my.
work considerably , and also kept me-
awake nights. I tried several doctors.
and used a number of different oint-
ments : < and lotions , but received prac-
tically no benefit. Finally I settled :
down to the use of Cuticura Soap , .
Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills ,
