One of the old mistakes of the profession was to think that there were no other ways of curing dis ease except those which had been landed-down from former times. It is not to be denied that the Doctors have done great things for the world. But when it comes right dowrrto the real curing of disease , it must be admitted that Brown's ron JBitters has done enough to 'earn 'the generous gratitude of this whole present generation , including the -medical profession. There are no mysteries or secrets about the compounding of Brown's Iron Bit ters. This preparation of iron is the only -preparation which will not in- jureiteethtor stomach. In this it is beyond comparison better than the other preparations , whicii are mis chievous and injurious. I K-You need not fear a mistake in itrying Brown's iron Bitters. Yous druggist has it. It gives vigor to the feeble , and new life to the dys- 'pcptic. Children take it , not only with safety , but with great advan- itagc. < J IMPROVED SOFT ELASTIC SECTION la warranted to wear longer , Cl Illie form ivuler , and Klra tnllci . atjfru.llrm ! thui uny othorCotu I tJio tnurket. or prlcu paM wll rtfundtxl. .copon * c rjyecann , j , iw , lUnt H .rtn Jean , paJd , < il Ml / t our mm limit for tlii-ni.

[ Continued. ] Although a uinglo rapid glnncu convinc ed him that the elide had taken place in an unfrequented part of the mountain , above an inaccessible canyon , and roll ec- tion iissu'rod him his companions could not have reached that distance when it took place , a feverish iiujnilao led him to descend a few rods in the track of the uvaUnclie. The frequent roccuirt'nco of outcrop and angle made this comparative ly easy. Hero ho .called around ; the footle echo of his own voice aecmod only a. dull impertinence to the significant silence. Ho turned to reascond ; the furrowed - rowed Hank of the mountain before him lay full in the moonlight. To his excited fancy a do/.tm luminous atar-liko pointu in the rocky croviceaatari od into hfo as ho faced them. Throwing < ] iis arm ovci tin ) dutlgu iibovo him'ho ' uuppoited him- flolf for a nioinent by what appeared to ho a .projection of 'the solid lock , li trembled ulightly. As he > rnised himself to ito'lovnl Ins heart stopped beating. Ii was-simply a fragment dutaohud from the outcrop lying loosely on the ledge , but upholding him by its own weight only. Ho examined it with trembling fingera ; the encumbering soil fell from its sides , and left its smooth and worn .protuber . ances glistening in the moonlight. It was virgin gold ! Looking back upon that moment after ward , ho remembered ( hut > ho was not diixod , duzzlud , nor startled , lit did not coino to him as a disccnowor nn accident a stroke of chance nor a > caprice of for tune. IIo eaw it all in thnt supreme moment ; nature had worked out their poocifioduction. What thcurtfaobloon&ineH had ussiiyud Bpasmodicallv and hclploealy against the curtain of soil that bid the trcanuroj the elements had achieved with mightier but moro patient forooa. Thu slow capping of the winter riuna had ] loosened the soil from the auriferous rookI oven while the swollen stream wao carrying - ' ing their impotent and shattered engines ; to the sea. What mattered that this ein-1 glo arm .could not l t the treasure ho had tound ; what mattered that to untie thottu glittering stare would still tax both skill and patience I The work was done the goil wan reftuied evaa hia boyieti impa tience WAS couiont wiih that. , IIe ceoo slowly to his feet , unstrapped his lony- luuidied ahovol from his bask , secured it in the urovico and ( juicily regained the Buininit , < It was all hia ovn. Its own by right of diacovcry under the law of the land , and without accepting a favor from them. Ho recalled orea the fact ( hat it was Inn pr 'gpectinK on the mountain that first suggested the existence of yold ; in the outcrop and the uac of the hydraulic. Ho had never abandoned that belief , what ever the otliera had done , Ho dwelt bpmuwliat indignantly ( o himself on this circumstance , and half unconsciously faced dofuntly toward the plain below. Bu + . it was sleeping peacefully in tLo full aight of the moon , without life or motion. Ho hwkod t the stare ; it wax still far from midnight. His companion * had oo doubt loag ninco returned to ( ho cabin to prepare for" their journey. They were perhaps laughipg at him , or , worse , pitying him and his batgain , A slight laugh ho gave vent to hero start- loc. him a little , it sounded BO unmirth- fill , and so unlike , as ho odly fancied , what he really thought. But what did ho think , Nothing nieau nor revengeful ; no , they never would say that. When ho had taken put all the surface gold and put the mine in working order ho would send the them each a draft for a thousand del lars. Of course if they were sick or poor ho would do more. One of the first , the very first things ho should do , would bo to send them each a handsome gun , and tell them that hoonly asked in return the old-fashioned rifle that once was his. Looking back at the moment in after years , ho wondered that , with this excep tion , ho made no plana for his own fdturo , or the way he ehould dispose of his newly acquired wealth. This was the moro singular , as it had been the custom of the fivti partners to lie awake at night audibly comparing with each other what they would do in case they made a strike. Ho remembered how , Almaschar-liko , they nearly oeparated once over a diU'ur- fiicu in thin disposal of a hundred thous and dollars that they never had , nor ex pected to have. He .rumoniberod how Union Mills always began hia career us n millionaire by a "square meal" nt Del- monico's ; how the Itight BoA-er's initial ntop was always a trip homo "to HOO hia mother ; " how the Loft Bower would itn- modiatoly plucato the parents of hia be loved with priceless gift a ( it may bo pa renthetically remarked that the parents and the beloved ono were as hypo thetical as the fortune ) and how the Judge would make < hi first start OH a capitalist by breaking a cortiin faro bank in Sacramento. He himself had been equally eloquent in oKtravogantifancy in tlioso penniless days he who now was quite cold and impaeeivo boaido the more extravagant reality. How different it might Iiav boon ! If they had only waited * day longer if they had only broken their rosolvus to him kindly and parted iu good will ! How ho would long ore this Imve rushed to .greet tl e n with the joyful nova ! How they woul I have danced Around it , uung themselves hoarse , laughed down their enemies , and run up the flag triumphant ly on the summit of the Lone Star filoun- ita&t How they would have crowned him the Old Alan , the hero of the camp } How he would have told them the whole story , howaomo stcango iiisinct luul impelled him to asrend the summit , and how another step on that summit would have precipitated him into the canon ) And 'how but what if somebody d o Union Mills as the Judge had been the first discoverer ? Might they not have meauly kept ( the secret from him ; have solfiehly helped themselves und , "What you oto doujg now. " The hot blood rusted to his cheek , an if a etrango voice were at his oar. Fur a moment ho could not Inliovo that it carne from his own palo lips until ho found himself speaking. Ho we to hia feet , tingling with ahamu and Itt an hurriedly to dosceitd the mcuntaiu , IIo would go to thorn , toll them of his discovery , let them give him bi share , and leave them lorover , It wa the only thing to bo done trango that he had not thought of it at once. Yet it WQ hard , very bard and cruel , to bo forced to meet them again. What hod ho done to sutler this mortification ? For a mo ment ho actually hated this vulgar treas ure that had forever buried under its gross ponderability the light and care less past , and utterly crushed out the poetry of their old indolent happy exis tence. Ho uaa sum to find thorn waiting at the cross roads whore the coach cumo past. It was three miles n\ay , and yet do could got there in time if ho hastened. It was a wise and practical conclusion of hia ovonings'8 work a lame and impo tent conclusion to his evening's indigna tion. No matter. They would perhaps at first think ho had come to weakly fol low them perhaps they would at first doubt his story. No matter. Ho bit his lipa to keep -down the foolish , rising tears , but still weet blind forward. Ho saw not the bca'utiful night , cradled in the dark hills , swathed in luminous mists and hushed in the avro of its own loveliness. Here and there the moon had laid liur calm face on luke and overflow , and gone to ( deep embracing them , until the whole ( ilain seemed to bo lifted into infinite quiet. Walking on an in a dream , the black , impenetrable barriers of skirt ing thickota opened and gave way to vague distances that appeared impossible to reach dim vistas that seemed unap proachable. Gradually ho seemed to become u part of the mysterious night. he was becoming as pulseless , as culm , as What wns that ? . A shot in the direc tion of the cabin ! yet HO faint , HO echoless - loss , so inefcctive in the vast stlencothut ho would have thought it his fancy but for the strange instinctive jar upon his sensitive nervoa. Was it OH accident , or was it an intentional signal to him ? Ho stopped ; it wao not repeated the silence ro assorted it&elf , but this time with an ominous deatli-liko suggestion. I , aud- don and terrible thought crosied his ining. IIo cast oaido his pack and all en cumbering weight , took a deep breath , lowered his luxA and darted hko a doer in the direction of the challnogo , The exodus of the seceding partners of the Lone Star cluiui had been scarcely an imposing one. For the first five minutes after quitting the cabin the procession was straggling and vagabond. Unwonted exertion had exaggerated the lameness of some , and feebleness of moral purpose had predisposed the others to obtrusive musical exhibition. Union Mills limped and whistled with atlecUid abstraction ; the Judge whistled and limped with af fected uarnestnesi. The Ixight Bower led the way with some nhow of definite design ; the Loft Bower followed with hia handutn his pockeU , The two feebler natures , drawn togetlter in unconscious sympathy , looked vnvgoly at each other for gupnort. "You BOO , ' ' said the Judge , suddenly , as if triumphantly concluding nn argu ment , "th ro ain't any thing better foria youngfollovr than independence. Nature , so to speak , pomU the xray. Look at the animals. " ' Thero'a a delink hereabouts , " said Union Mills , who was supposed to bo gifted with aristocratically sensitive nos trils , 'within ' ten ra.'lea ' of this place , like as not crowing the ridge. It is always my luck to happen out just at diich times. I don't see the necessity anyhow of trapesing round the claim now if wo calculate to leave it to-night. " Both men waited to observe if the suggestion was taken up by the Right and Loft Bower , moodily plodding ahead. No roapoiiRO following , the Judge shame lessly abandoned his companion. ' You wouldn't stand snoopin' round instead of lottiu1 the Old Man got used to the idea alone ? No ; I could BOO all along that ho was takin' it in takin1 it in kindly hut slowly , and I lockonod the best thing for us to do wan to git up nnd git until he'd got found it. " The Judge's voice was slightly raised for the benefit of the two before him , "Didn't ho say , " remarked the Right Bower , stopping suddenly and facing the others "didn't ho Bay that that now trader was goin' to lot him have som provisions anyway ? " Union Mills turned appealingly to the Judge. That gentleman wan forced to reply. "Yes ; I remember distinctly ho aaid it. It was one of the things 1 was particular about on his account , " re sponded the Judgp , with the air of hav ing arranged it nil hinipolf with the now trader "I remember I was easier in my mind about it. " "But didn't ho say , " queried my Loft Bower , also stopping short , "nuthin' a'tout its being contingent on our doing some work on the race ? " The Judge turned for support to Union Mills , however , who under the hollow pretenHO of preparing for a long confer ence had luxuriously seated himself on n mump. The Judge sat down also , and replied hesitatingly : "Well , yea ! UB or him. " "Ua or him , " repeated the Right Bow er , with gloomy irony. "And you ain't quite clear in your mind are you , if you haven't done the work already ? You're just killing yourself with this spontane ous , promiscuous and premature over work ; that's what's the nmttorwith yni , " "I reckon I heard somebody say suthin' about iti being a Chinaman's three day job , " interpolated the Loft Bower , with equal irony ; "out. I ain't quite clear in my mind about that. " "It'll be a sorter distraction for the Old Man , " said Union Mills , feebly "kinder take his mind otFhis lonolineea. " . Nobody taking the least notice of the remark , Union Mills stretched out his legs moro comfortably and took out his pipo. He had scarcely done so when the Hight Bower , wheeling suddenly , set elf in the direction of the creek. The Left Bower , after a slight pause , followed without a word. The Judge , wisely con ceiving it better to join the stronger party , ran feebly after him , and left Union Mills to bring up a week and vacil. lating roar. Their course , diverging from Ixmo Star Mountain , led them now directly to the bend of the treek the base of their old ineffectual operations. Hero ua the beginning of the famous tail-race that skirted the new trader's claim and then lost its way in a swampy hollow. It wan choked with debris ; a thin , yellow stream that once ran through it seemed to have stopped work when they did , and gone into greenish liquidation , The ; had scarcely spoken during this brief journey , and had received , on other explanation from the Right ; Bower , who led them , than that afforded by his muti example when he reached the race. Leap ing into it without it word , ho at once began to clear away the broken timbei.i and driftwood. Fired by the spectacle of what appeared to bo a now and utterly frivolous game , the men gayly lotpei aftqr him , and were soon engaged in i fascinating struggle with the impodet race. The Judge forgot his JamencHs it springing Over a broken sluice box ; Union Mills forgot his whistle in a happy imitii- tion of Chinese coolie's song. Neverthe less , after ten minutes of this mild dissi pation , the pastime flagged ; Union Mills was beginning to rub his leg when a distant rumble shook the earth. ' [ TO 111 !
