A German author in a recently published

have a corresponding increase of supply in

food in the greatest abundance it could do
nothing toward helping us, for we would be
incapable of digesting it Our stomachs can

years, and his nervous system finallr gave
way under the strain. He was forced to re
tire from regular work at the piano, but that
did not have the effect of improving his con
dition. Upon the contrary, he steadily grew
worse. 'His nerves had been shattered, and
in addition he discovered that one of his
lungs had been affected by his having been
exposed to counter draughts in poorly ven
tilated halls. His condition soon became
such that he was confined to his home, and
finally gave himself over to the care of a
Shysician. Mr. Coleman's experience as a
ruggist had given him an acquaintance
with diseases and their remedies, so he bad
a full knowledge of just what was necessary
on his part to e fleet a cure.
"After several weeks' careful treatment
by the physician," said Mr. Coleman. "I
eould notice no improvement in my condi
tion. If anything, 1 think I was consider
ably worse. The action of my lungs had
become so weak that I was afraid to walk
any distance unassisted for fear of falling,
through loss of respiration. My nervous
ness had advanced to an alarming stage. I
was not able to contain myself for even a
short time, but had always to be fumbling
with something or moving nervously about
the room. It was while I was in this con
dition that I noticed in a paper an article on
Williams' Pink Pills. I determined to try
them, even though they killed me. Well,
they didn't kill me. bnt I'm not sains? to tell
yon that they cured me immediately, my
case was mucn too serious ror that. Bat I
had not taken a full box before I felt a gnat
relief. My respiration was more certain, I
was flraduallv re raini decontrol of mv nerves
and my condition was generally improved.
I kept right on taking the pills and getting
well. Now, I had taken just three boxes of
them when I considered myself a cured man.
And I was right, for although I quit taking
the pills, I did not relapse into my former
condition, but grew stronger daily.
" It was truly a marvelous cure, and I will
say that I think Williams' PUls possess re
markable curative properties, and I would
recommend them to the use of the thousands
of people of this city who are nervous
wrecks, or who are suffering from diseases of
the lungs."
The foreaoimv is but one of many wonder
ful cures that have been credited to Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Diseases
which heretofore have been supposed to be
incurable, such m locomotor ataxia and pa
ralysis succumb to this wonderful medicine
as readily as the most trifling ailments. In
many eases the reported cures have been
investigated by the leading newspapers and
verified in every possible manner, and in no
case has the least semblance of fraud been
discovered. Their fame has spread to the
far ends of civilization and there is hardly a
drug store in this country or abroad where
they cannot be found.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are an
unfailing specific for such diseases as loco
motor ataxia, nartial Daralvais. St Vitna
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nerv
ous headacne, the after eneet of la grippe,
palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow
complexions, all forms of weakness either in
male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent post paid os receipt
of price, 60 cents a box, or six boxes for
$2.50, by addressing Dr. William' Medicine

"Hut I can answer for him," aaid Mrs.
Brant, rising1 with a quivering voice
and curling lip, "There la no sympathy
between ub. We lire oa far apart oa the
poles. We have nothing- in common
hut the house, and his name."
"But you nre husband and wife
bound together by a sacred compact!"
"A conipact!"ecboed Mrs. Brant, with
a bitter laugh. "Yea! the compact that
binds South Carolina to the nigger wor
shiping Maaaaclnwetta! The compact
that links together white and blnok, the
gentleman and the trader the planter
and the poor white the compact nt
those United States! Bah that haa
been broken and bo can this!"
Clarence's face paled. But before he
could apeak there was a rapid clatter
ing at the gate and a dismounted
vaquero entered excitedly. Turning to
Mrs. Brant, he said, hurriedly:
"Mother of tiod! the. Cnsa is surround
ed by a rabble of mounted men, and
there is one among them even now who
demands admittance in the name of the
law."
"This is your work," said Brooks,
facing Clarence furiously, "you have
brought them with you, but, by God,
they shall not bbvb you!" He would
have clutched Clarence, but the power
ful arm of Judge Beeswlnger inter
vened. Nevertheless, he still struggled
to reach Clarence, appealing to the
others. "Are you fools to stand there
and let him triumph! Don't you see
the cowardly Yankee trick he's played
upon ua?"
"11c has not," aaid Mrs. Brant,
haughtily; "I have no reason to love
him or his friends but I know he
does not lie."
"(ientlemen! Gentlemen!" implored
Col. Starbottle, with bearing and unctu
ous persuasion, "may I er remark
that all this is far from the question.
Are we to be alarmed because an awk
ward rabble, no matter whence they
come, demand entrance here in the
name of the law? I am not aware of
any law in the state of California that
we are infringing. By all means ad
mit them."
The gate was thrown open. A single,
thick-aet man, apparently unarmed and
dressed like an ordinary traveler, fol
lowed by half a dozen others equally
unpretentious-looking men, entered.
The leader turned to the balcony.
"I am the chief of police-of Ban Fran
cisco. I have warrants for the arrest of
Col. Culpepper Starbottle, Joshua
Brooks, Capt. Pinckney, Clarence Brant
and Alice, his wife, and others charged
with exciting to riot and unlawful prac
tice calculated to disturb the peace of
the state of California and its relatione
with the federal government," aaid the
leader is a dry, official voice
Clarence started. In spite of Its
monotonous utterance it was the voice
of the red-bearded controversialist ot
the stage coach. But where wae his
characteristic beard and hair? Invol
untarily Clarence glanced at Judge
lleeavi inger; that gentleman was quiet
ly regarding the stranger with an im
passive face that betrayed no recog
nition whatever.
"But the city of Ban Francisco has
no jurisdiction here," said Capt. Star
bottle, turning a bland smile towards
his fellow members. "I am er sorry
to inform you that you are simply tres
passing, sir."
"I am here also as deputy sheriff,"
returned the stranger, coolly. "We
were unable to locate the precise place
of this meeting, although we knew of
its existence. I was sworn in this
morning at Santa Cruz by the judge of
this district, and these gentlemen with
me are my posse."
There was a quick movement of re
sistance by the members, which was,
however, again waved blandly aside by
Col. Starbottle. Leaning forward In a
slightly forensic attitude with his
fingers on the table, and a shirt frill
that seemed to have become of itself
erectile, he aaid with pained but polite
precision: .
"I grieve to have to state, sir, that
even that position is utterly untenable
here. I am a lawyer myself as my
friend here Judge Beeswinger eh?
Ibeg-yourpordonl " w
The officer ot the law had momen
tarily Started, with his eyes fixed o
Judge Beeswinger, who, however,
seemed to be quietly writing at the
table.
"As Judge Beeswinger," continued
Col. StarbotUe, "will probably tell you
and, as a jurist himself, he will also
probably agree with me when I also
inform youthat as the United States
government is an aggrieved party, it
is a matter of the federal courts to
prosecute, and that the only officer we
can recognize is the United States mar
shal for the -district. When I add that
the marshal. Col. Cruckentliorpe, isvne
of my oldest friends, and an active
sympathizer with the south in the
present struggle, you will understand
tluit uny action from him in this .mat
ter is exceedingly improbable."
The general murmur of laughter, re
lief and approval was broken by the)
quiet voice of Judge Beeswinger.
"Let me see your warrant, Mr. Dep
uty Sheriff."'
The officer approached him with a
slightly perplexed and (sons trained air
and exhibited the paper.
Judge Uewwiuiir kandsd ltkejokttt
alias. . , ..
"Cut. Hturbottle is quite right in his
contention," he said, quietly; "the only
officer that this aaaembly can recognize
is the United States marshal or his
legal deputy. But Col. Starbottle Is
wrong in his supposition that Col.
Crackenthorpe atill retains the func
tions of that office. He was removed by
the president of the United States, and
his successor was appointed and sworn
in by the federal judge early this morning."
Be paused, and folding up the paper
on which he had been writing, placed it
in the hands of the deputy. "And this,"
lie continued, in the same even voice,
"constitutes you his deputy, and will
enable you to carry out your duty In
coming here."
"What the devil does this mean, air?
Who are you?" gasped Col. Starbottle,
recoiling suddenly from the man at his
side.
"I am the new United States marshal
for the southern district of California."
CHAPTER m.
Unsuspected and astounding as the
revelation was to Clarence, its strange
reception by the conspirators seemed to
him astounding. He had started for
ward, halt expecting that the compla
cent, Bell-confessed spy would be ini-
uiolated by his infuriated dupes. But to
his surprise the shock seemed to have
changed their natures and given them
the dignity they had lacked.
The excitability, irritation and reck
lessness which had previously charac
terized them had disappeared. The dep
uty and his posse, who had advanced to
the assistance of their revealed chief,
met with no resistance. They hud evi
dently, as If with one accord, drawn
away from Judge Beeswinger, leaving a
,'lcared space around him, and regarded
.heir captors with sullen, contemptu
ous silence. It was only broken by Col.
Starbottle:
"Your duty commands you, air, to use
all possible diligence in briuging us be
fore the federal judge of this district,
Unless your master in Washington has
violated the constitution so for as to re
move him, too!"
"1 understand you perfectly," re
turned Judge BeeBwinger, with un
changed composure, "and as you know
that Judge Wilson unfortunately can
not be removed except through regular
cause of impeachment, I suppose you
may still count upon his southern sym
pathies to befriend you. With that I
have nothing to a.; my duty Ib com
plete when my deputy has brought you
before him, and I have stated the cir
cumstances of the arrest." ,
"I congratulate you, sir," said Capt
Pinckney, with on ironical salute, "in
your prompt reward for your treachery
to the south, and your equally prompt
adoption of the peculiar tactics of your
friends in the way in which you have
entered this house."
"I am sorry I cannot congratulotc
you, air," returned Judge Beeswinger,
gravely, "on breaking your oath to the
government that has educated and sup-
iwrtea you, and has given you the epau
lettes you disgrace. Nor aball I discuss
'treachery' with the man who has not
only violated the trust of his country
but even the integrity of his friend's
household. It is for that reason that I
withhold the action of this warrant hi
so far as it affects the person of the
master and mistress of this house. I
am satisfied that Mr. Brant has been as
ignorant of what has been done here as
1 nm that his wife bos been only the
foolish dupe of a double traitor."
"Silence!"
The words brokesimullaneously from
he lips of Clarence and Capt. Pinckney.
; hey stood staring at each other the
me pale, the other crimson as Mrs.
'runt, apparently oblivious of the sig
nificance of their united adjuration,
.irned to Judge Beeswinger in the fury
I her atill stifled rage and mortiflcu
:ion. "Keep your mercy for your fellow
:iv," she aaid with a contemptuous
'cuture towards her husband, "I go
vlth these gentlemen!" '
"You will not," said Clarence, quietly,
until I have said a word to you alone."
He laid his hand firmly upon her
wrist.
The deputy and his prisoners filed
slowly out pf the courtyard together,
the latter courteously saluting Mrs.
Brant as they passed, but turning from
Judge Beeswinger in contemptuous si
lence. The hitter followed them to the
gate, but there he paused.
Turning to Mrs. Brant, who was still
half struggling in the strong grip of
her husband, be said:
"Any compunction t may have hod in
misleading you by accepting your in-
vltatlon here, I dismissed after 1 Had en
tered this house! And I trust," He add
ed, turning to Ckirem-e, sternly, "1
leave you muster of it!
As the gate closed behind him, Clar
ence locked It. As his wife tin ned upon
him angrily, ho mid, quietly: "1 have
no Intention of rcsti-niiilng your liberty
a moment after our Interview in over.
But until then 1 do nut intend to be
disturbed."
She threw herself disdainfully back
in her chair, hor hands clasped In her
lap, in half contemptuous resignation,
with her eyea upon her ln::g, ellin,
arched feet crossed before her. liven
In her attitude there was something
of her old fascination which, however,
now seemed to sting Clarence to the
quick.
"I have nothing to say to you in re
gard to what has just passed in this
house, except that long as 1 remain
even nominally as its master, it lihiill
not be repeutcd. Altliouj'h I shall
no longer attempt to lnlliu uee or con
trol your political sympathies, 1 shall
not allow you to Indulge theui where
in any way they aeem to Imply my
in notion. Hut so little do 1 oppose your
liberty tluit yon arc free to rejoin join
-Kiliticul companions whoitever you
choose to do so on your own respoiisl
bility. But 1 must first know from vour
own lips that your sympathies are
purely -lolitical or a name for some
thing else."
She had altemate'yflushedaiid puled
although still keeping her scornful at
titude as he went on, but there was no
mistaking the genuineness of her vuguc
wonderment at his concluding words.
"I don't understand you," she said, lift
ing her eyes to his in a moment of cold
curiosity. "What do you menu?"
"What do I meaa? What did Judge
Beeswinger mean when he called Capt.
Pinckney a double traitor?" he suiil,
roughly.
She sprang to her feet with flashing
nyes.
