from the other eide of the stolen

and speaking in a Instilled voice.
"Yes. Can you steady him like that

"I'll try, Jim; but his legs are like

How's that?" •
Combe bad taken the tie rope from

lashed the doctor's feet together under
the belly of his horse, after ,which he
had passed the bight of the rope
around his victim's waist and secured

"I pmeas he'll ride like that for a

work. "Seems pretty evenPacked'

"Yes, he'll stay there till vou ntie

"That's my trouble, I'm blanked if

It seemed to the doctor that his
pace was suddenly accelerated. In his
dream flight he began th move with

motion had been a steady saltine so

That was it, he wee roeketting. Quite

whiskey had hit me in the head and
it rockets. Certainly I am rocket -
ting.
But as his titeeghtS VMS' lesS
vague his• bpdy grew more and more
cold. The spirit was dying out in
his blood, ancl his tightly bound extre-
mities were beginning to freeze.
He became conscious that he was

He could hear horses' feet and gravel

and the ferryman had gone.

But the revolver shot had roused

"Steady! Don't fall off as you ride

with me. It ain't worth it," and
then, reassured by the deckle's ap-
pearance, he let his hands go.
"Now you might as well ride back
and finish the night with pout pals,
Sorry I troubled you."
But the doctor remained sitting
where he was.
"You ain't afraid about finding

CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE.
How Medicine Is Practiced Among the
Chinese.
The beginnings of medicine in China
are in the dim distance of forty-five
hurillred years ago, and ite chief. medi-
cal clasSic dateS from the •third
fourth century: be/ore Christ. It is a
book en medicine and physical science
that treats of the human body, the tsvo
principles "yin" and "yang," the five
elements, the circulation of the five
elemental vapors in the body, diseases,
acu,puncture, and so on. Other books
were added to this list later, @aye My'
Dugald Christie in "Thirty Years in
Mukden," but the theories regarding
the cause and cure of disease have
been stereoptyped for manycenturie'
s
As long Ite the five elements of
which the body is composed—metal,
Wood, water, fire and earth—aro in
equilibrium, health is enjoyed; when
they are out of peoportion disease en -
hues, and the objeet of treatment le
to bring them back to their normal re-
lations. Medicines are claseified as -
cording to the five colors and the five
Lasts, corresponding to the live ele-
ments and the fire organs of the body.
All treatment must accord with the
various cycles of five, of which the
following are a few:,
Elements—metal, wood, water, fire
earth,
yeiCieoslvo,rs—white, green, black, red,
Tastes—acrid, sour, salt, bitter
sweet.
Oegans of body—lungs, liver, kid-
neys, heart, spleen and stomach.
Productions of the organs—breath,
ligaments, bones, blood, meselos.
Senses—nose, eyes, ears, tongue,
mouth.
Directions—west, emit, north, south,
middle.
For instance, if the heart is feeble
there must be too little fire; fire is
produced by wood, which eorresponds
with the liver; therefore to strength-
en the heart the liver insist be toned
up, the medicine inuet be sour and of
a greenish hue, and anything bitter
must be avoided. /f, on the other
hand, the lungs are affected, then
earth is needed to produce the lacking
metal element, the spleen and stomach
must be annulated, the medicine
should be yellow and sweet, and
evorything I mut bo mivoided.
There are many other points too in-
tricate to describe in. detail.
The disease is diagnosed by the
pulses, of which there are also five
variehes. The left indicates the con-
dition of the heart, liver and kidneys;
the right that of the lungs and stom-
ach, and also of the "gate of life."
When a patient enters the consulting
room foe the first time he cloes not ex-
pect to be asked questions. Silently
he stretches out elle hand after the
other, mci the doctor, by placing
three finger.% on each pule° in turn, is
ant:Moped to recognize the nature of
the disease. In. the early clays of my
eryiee in China a friendly natsivce de,ev-
use n ig pa en e
would eitalltille smnfl treat them. One
lay a man appeared who, on emoted:

One of the most curious offers ever
=tie to an unknown thief was that
once made -by a- Mennrou he (Eng-
land) farmer. He had occasion to
slaughter: a cow, mcnd the carcass was
placed in an outhouse. .Next morning
At was found to have been denuded of
every particle of suet, whereupon the
fernier issued the following notice;
"If the person or parsons that rob-
bed my cow of the suet are really in
!want, 1 Witt give them it stone of
fiber to make dumplings with. Should
it be that they are 'not in weed and
;the thief le a man and will come lot -
!ward, ' I will fight him in fair open
battle; if he • beats me, I will give
him 5• shillings and la him keep the
suet." • • -
The delinquent did not aeeept the
challenge, as the farmer's fisticuff
ability was well loteVin.

Those who have looked on this ape

But the Hohenzollerns have no

But the most attractive—or the
least unattractive—of them all le the
White Lady who, for centuries, has
foreshadewed ealernity to the liaps-

described, "marvellously beautstul, •
with a long, flowing white veil."
She was seen by many in the Cisimtl�-
of
Schonbrunn the night before Maxi-
milian, Austrian Archduke, came to
his tragic end in Mexico; and in 1889,
immediately before Crown Prince
Rudolph died so terribly und mys-
