EVIDENCE GIVEN
BY MRS. WICKENS
Presents Convincing Proof of
Tanlao’s Power to Overcome
Stomach Troubles.
•'My very first bottle of Tanlnc gave
me an appetite, und by the time I bad
finished four bottles of the treatment
my health was restored completely,”
declared Mrs. L. P. Wlckens, residing
•t 1214 West Tenth St., Oklahoma City.
“Before taking Tanlac I was suffer-
ing with stomach trouble, and the
little I managed to eat gave me Indi-
gestion and caused so much gas
around my heart that I could hardly
breuthe. I had awful headaches and
dizzy apells, and was so nervous I
could never get a good night’s sleep.
I simply felt miserable, and was losing
time every week front my work.
"Nothing helped me until I com-
menced taking Tanlac. but this medi-
cine has restored my health so per-
fectly that I have a splendid appetite,
sleep soundly every night, and never
lose any time from my work. 1 feel
splendid In every way, and can rec-
ommend Tanlac to anyone suffering
like I did.”
Tanlac Is for sate by all good drug-
gists. Take no substitute. Over 37
million bottles sold.
Tanlac Vegetable Pills are nature’s
own remedy for constipation. 8old
everywhere.—Advertisement.

Gen. George A. Wingate said In New
York the other day:
“Any man who maltreats our young
war invalids deserves the fate of,Mrs.

prop at a church sociable.
“‘Yes,’ said Mrs. Malaprop. Tm

“Then she smiled and added:
“ ‘Sort o’ finish her off, ye know.*”

CHAPTER IV—Contlnudd.
“Well, then,” said Satan, “we’ve got
that far, and It comes to terms. What’a
your share to be for helpin' to collar
the stuff and dispose of It In Havana T"
“Two dollars out of every three that
we make," said Seller* promptly.
“There’s the salving, you can’t do that
alone, or your dad would have done It
prompt; then there’s the cashing of It,
you're loot men If you try that Job on
by yourselves. Why, there’s not an-
other man In Havana could do It only
Cark, and even he couldn’t bring the
stuff Into Havana harbor! It'll have
to be landed back of the Island, north
of Santiago. Lord knows what he’ll
have to pay!"
Satan cogitated for a moment.
“I’ll meet you,” said he at last. Tbi
not set on big money. Anything more?'’
“No, that’s all,” said Sellers.
Carqulnex nodded approval, and
lighting another cigarette leaned back
In hls chair.
"And what’a this gentleman doing In
the business?’’ asked Sellers, referring
to Ratcllffe.
“Oh, he’s standing out." said Satan.
“He’s Just on a cruise with us.”
“Yes, I'm standing out,” said Rat-
dlffe. “I'm In It only for the fun of
the thing, though I’m willing to help."
“Well, I reckon you’ll have fun
enough," said Sellers, “If we get foul
of the customs, or If some other hook-
er comes poking along while we’re
salving. You’re British, aren't you?"
“I am.”
••I thought so. Come out for a
spree?"
“You may put It like that.”
••I didn’t get your name.”
“Ratcllffe. My father was Ratcllffe
the shipowner. Holt ft Ratcllffe."
“Lord—love—a—duck I" aald Sellers.
“You're not wanting for money, I
reckon. Well, thla gets me, It 40 In-
deed! Holt ft Ratcllffe—should think

Satan grinned. “Well,” said he.
“we've fixed things so far—two out of
every throe dollars to you and no de-
ductions."
“Thnt's It." said Sellers.
“And now we've fixed terms," said
Satan, “1 want to know all about this
hooker.”
"Which was your meaning?" asked
Sellers.
"'Hie wreck.”
"Listen to him!" cried Sellers.
"Mean to say you don't know all about
her?"
"N’more than Adam. I’ve heard
from l'ap she was railed the Nombre
de Dios, and was full of gold plate
got from churches; but tlmt's not much
more than a name and u yarn. I ve
never hanked much on the yarn. Seems
too much of the New Jerusalem touch
about It for me.”
"Well, I'll tell you," said Sellers.
“She weren't no ship with gold plates
—your dad got that wrong—she was
n big Spanish ship out of Vera <Tuz
making for Spain. She had a cargo of
timber, some of them heavy foreign
timbers that don't float. She'd got
aboard her, besides the timber, more’ll
a million dollars’ worth of gold—Mexi-
can gold most of It, Spunlsh coin some
of It. Lopes whs the nume of the
skipper, and he luld to bank thut gold
for himself. Him und the mate were
the only men In the know about that
gold beside a supercargo by name of
Peres.
••Well, he colluded together with
them two guys to sink the hooker In
six fathom water out of trade tracks,
give uut that she'd sunk In a gale, and
come back In a year or two and collar
the boodle. They had her bored und
plugged f >r the game, and when they
got her to the location they pulled
out the plugs, and she went down
without a sneeze, natural as a dyln’
Christian.
"They got the boats eway In order,
and the crew was got off to • man;
but that crew never got ashore. May-
be It was something wrong with the
grab or the water, there's no saying,
but they never got ashore to turn wit-
ness. Rut them throe guys had teken
the dinghy, and they were picked up
and landed somewhere on the gulf,
fat and well."
All through Sellera* recitation Car-
qulnez had sat nodding hls head.
"They slung their yam," went on
Sellers, “and made all good, and It w-ys
only left for them to wait awhile und
hire or steal a likely boat to pick up
the stuff, when the yellow fever look
the supercargo and the mate, leaving
Lopes to fish for himself.
“He got back to Havana, which wae
kin natural home, and there he put
up with hie son, who was • trader In
Iftr— Ho put the sen wtoe about
the wreck; but he wouldn’t give the lo-
cation away till It was time to go and
pick up the stuff, which wouldn’t be
for a year yet.
“Then he up and died, and the non
started to hunt for the chort and
couldn’t find It. The old guy had given
him everything but the chart with the
location marked on It. It wasn’t a
proper chart, neither; Just a piece of
paper with the thing done rough, but
giving the bearings. And It was never
found—not by the son. The grandson
found It—and where do you think?
Pasted into the lining of an old hat.
That wasn’t so long ago, neither, and
what do you think that fool of a grand-
son did? Well, Til tell you whnt he
did. First of all he comes to Cark
here, and tries to get him onto the
Job on a ten per cent bHsls, Cark to
risk hls money and reputation for a
lousy ten per cent on what might be
only the bones of qn old ship. He let
out her name and history and every-
thing but the location.
"Cark wasn't having any on those
terms—was you, Cark?—and he told
the chap to go to Medicine Hat and
pick bilberries. The chap goes off and
what does he do but tries to get up a
syndicate between himself and two
ypggmen without a keel to thrir
names! Perrira was the name of one,
and da Silva waa the name of the
other, and they held a board meeting
In Diego's saloon one night and shot
holes In one another In the buck par-
lor.
“Silva and Perrira had fixed It to
lay the grandson out and collar the
chart for tliemselvee. and they'd have
done It, only he wasn't backward with
the shooting. Your dad was In the bar

the frayed edge of the paper. In the

In a strong JIght to make the figures
out.
Nobody bothered about them. Lone
reef was on all the charts, and the
name was enough.
•Tve been by there,” aald Sellers at
last, “and I've never seen signs of a

from what they let drop before they
went to the back purlor to hold their
meeting. Then when the shooting be- j
gun tie was first Into the room, and
collared the chart, which win lying on
the floor. He was always quick on
the uptake, was your dad. Being a
knowledgeable man, he reckoned Cark
was the only chap In Havana to help
him tuke the stuff and clear It. but
before he could conclude business with
Cark he up and died."
Cark nodded.
“That was so," said he.
••Well," said Satan, "we’ve got the
whole yarn now, and I'm wishing to be
done with the business. I’m pretty
near sick of you two guys trailing after
me, and I’ll hand you out my be-
lief for what It's worth. It don’t seem
natural to me to find gold In a hooker
like that. Just for the picking up, and
I'd sell any man ray chances for a
thousand dollars. I’m Just talkin’ out
of my head. You know what I am
I’m content to run small. We’ve made

If you luy me crooked HI split. Got
that In your heads?"
The nigh contracting parties on the
other aide nodded assent.
“That bein' settled." aald Satan,
"here’s the chart."
He produced a metal tobacco box
and took from It a folded piece of pa-
per, which he laid on the table before
Sellera.
The effect waa magical.
Carqulnea sprung from hla chair
like a young man, caine behind Sel-
lers, and, bending over hie shoulder,
looked. Ratcllffe, though out of the
business, waa as axclted aa the others.
Satan alone was calm. He had been
carrying the thing about so long that It
had probably lost Ita freshness of la
terest.
Sellera, without speaking, atared at
the chart before him.

stick dynamite cartridges In the drill-
holes and fire them. Got any dynamite
aboard?"
“Not an ounce.”
“We might make out with blasting
powder.”
“Yes, If we’d got It," said Sellers^
"There ain’t no nse worrying, we’ve
got to shin out of thla back to Havana
and get the explosive*. Question who’ll
go for them, us or you?"
“Not me,” said 8atan, “not If she

"Then we’ll go," said Sellers. “Glva

we'll pick you up here.”
“Why not at the reef?" asked Satan.
“Don’t matter,’’ said Sellers. “Here
or there. It’s all the same to ua; ain’t
It, Cark?"
Cark nodded assent, and Satan, re-
capturing the chart, folded It up and
put It hack Into the tobacco box.
“Right I" aald he, placing the box
Into hls pocket. “Here you’ll find u*.”

It seemed to Ratcllffe all at once
that ■ critic had come on the scene.
He had forgotten Jude In relation to
the deal over the wreek. and he was
wondering now how she would take It.
Tlie female does not always see eye to
eye with the male, ns many a business
man has discovered on revealing s
transaction to the wife of his bosom.
"Well, what you been doing, any-
way?" asked Jude, suddenly opening
liar batteries.
"Doing—which?" asked Satan. “Oh.
you menn with Cark. Well. I've set-
tled things with him, fixed it up so's
he's goln' to help.”
••Whnt's be askin'?" »ald Jude.
“Well, It’s this way: He’ll have to
do the wreckin' business, and then If
the stuff's got bo’ll have to run It
ashore, and after thnt he'll have to get
rid of It. I'm givln' him two dollars

••Oil, Ixird!" said Jude. "Why dldu't
you give him the lot?"
•Now look you here!" cried Satan.
"I don't want no snss! Who's runnln'

know "hut I’ve got up my sleeve?
Have you ever known me done on u

Setuii turned and went below.
"Jude," aald Ratcllffe. "Suppose you
had all the money off that old wreck.
If the money Is there, what would you
do with It?"
“Wbat’H tho good of askin’ me things
like that?" suld Jude. “I'd precious
■oon do something with It!"
"No, you wouldn't. You'd put It In
