Kellooo Newspaper Company.] CHAPTER IX.— Continued “Great heaven! how do you know this?” cried the astounded farmer. “I got it through a suspicious rumor.” “The rumor is false —not a word of it true. I know that boy must beau honest, upright young fellow.” “But you are mistaken, friend Miles. Yon are wanning a serpent in your bosom, that some day will sting. I’ll warn you that he contemplates rob bing you and } r our entire family.” “I don’t believe one word of it, Dave, and won’t till it's proved. I’ve lived too long in this world not to be somethin’ of a judge of human mature; he is honorable and upright.” “You may be deceived,” began Black. “And so may you,” curtly replied tlie farmer; “and if I was to breathe this it would bring a slander suit on vour head that would make you trem ble.” It was evident tbe farmer was out of humor, and Dave Black felt somewhat abashed at the reply; he had not thought of an action for slander before, but now a court-room, judge and jury, with all their attendant horrors, loomed up before him. lie hesitated a momcn! and stammered: “Well, it’s only a ru mor I heard, and I thought I would in form you as a friend to put you on your guard. I do not pretend to say it’s true.” “I’m very much obliged to you. Mr Black, but assure you there is not the least foundation for the rumor.” “I will write to Joe Brewster, oi Queenstown,” said Dave, somewhat discomfited. “Do so, and I’ll wager two to one that there is not a word of truth in the report. Goocbbye, Dave; I must be oil ” CHAPTER X. A DARK ADVENTURE. Mr. Miles started his team up, and swept out of the village at a good round trot. He felt somewhat vexed that any one would suspicion his hired mac of being an outlaw and thief. The sun was down as he entered the wooded road that led up Preston Flat. The horses trotted on and the wagon rattled along the road, while the dust rolled in volumes from the wheels, set tling on tlie trees and bushes at the edge of tlie highway. “Who could have put such a notion in Dave's head?” soliloquized Mr. Miles. “I wonder who thinks I would harbor a thief; and besides it is an in sult to God's handiwork to call that boy a thief. He is the very picture of honor, and the man who can look into those blue eyes and call him a thief is a fool and a liar.” It was evident, however, from the troubled manner of the farmer, that his mind was not quitp at rest on the subject. “I might be iooled, and it might be true that he does belong to a gang of rascals, who had taken it into their heads to rob me. I don’t believe it, but it may be so. No, Walter Brownfield is honest—blast tlie eyes of the man who would even so much as suspicion him.” It was now quite dark and the horses were going along at an even walk. Mr. Miles was so busily engaged with his own vexatious thoughts that he did not note tlie flight of time, the dark ness or the slow gait of the horses. “I will watch him anyway,” he final ly concluded. “It will do no harm to watch the boy. An honest man don’t care if lie is watched, though I know he’s no thief.” The wagon rattled on, the night air Mas cold and frosty. Suddenly loud shouts ivere heard on the road ahead of him “Helloa, wiiat does thatmean?” said Mr. Miles, stopping his team. “Help! murder! robbers! murder! murder!” cried a shrill voice. “Get up, Bally, Blaze, there is trouble ahead,” shouted the farmer, laying the whip to the liox-ses and starting them forward at a gallop. “Bang!” went a shot from the same direction whence came tho sounds for help, “Help, murder, thieves thieves!” cried tlie same voice, though evidently growing weaker each moment. Mr. Milos could hear other voices, the snorting and flying of a horse and heavy sounding blows. “Knife him, cuss him and stop his noise,” one rough voice was heard to pay. There was a heavy blow, a wild shriek, and just at that moment the farmer's wagon camo around a bend in the road, not forty yards from where the struggle was going on. “O, yes, here we come, a whole reg iment of us,” shouted tlie undaunted Mr. Miles, standing up in tlie wagon holding his heavy whip to fell the as sassin with the butt. He saw a strug gling mass through the darkness and heard a few mattered oaths. With a snort of terror, a horse attached to a buggy run up tlie road at full speed. There was also a crackling of brush as though persons were trying to escape through the woods. “Fire on the rascals, boy! Shoot them down! We’ve got them at last!” phouted tho farmer, waving his whip aloft, as though he was nddi’esaing a thousand men. Hjs houses ran up tq the spot where the struggle had taken place, and shied to one side of the road and stopped. “Helloa! what did you see?” said Mr. Milcfx A deep groan came from the ground; he looked aud discovered the dark outlines of an object lying on the ground. “Some one is hurt,” said the brave farmer, leaping from the wagon. “Say, mister, are you bad hurt?” No reply came. “I guess he is,” said Mr. Miles, bend ing over the body and raising tae b-'ad. “Who can it lie?” He knew that he was a large man the moment he attempted to raise him. He struck a match, and by the light of it gazed on the face of a man past middle age. The hair was short, faee smooth shaved, and there was an ugly wound on the back of the head and another on the shoulder. “It’s the stranger at Bushville, and they have tried to murder him,” said Mr. Miles, in astonishment. “He is not dead, though, and I must get him in the wagon. 1 This was no easy task, but the farmer suc oeded as the stranger be gan to recover. “Are you badly hurt?” “I have a severe bruise on my head, and a blow on the arm. I believe it is broken,” answered the stranger. “Well, don’t talk about it now; I’ll make you as comfortable as I can, and take you home with me, where you shall stay until you get well.” The wounded man expressed his thanks, and the farmer braced him up in his wagon and drove slowly home ward. CHAPTER XI. THE WOUNDED CALIFORNIA?*. A thousand conjectures were in the mind of Farmer Miles as he drove the wounded stranger home. It was in tensely dark and he did not dare burr?. “Who could have attempted the as sassination?” he thought. “There was a rumor at Bushville that he was a de tective, or a rich man returned from California. Which can it be? If he is a detective, was he after Waiter, and was it Walter and his gang that knocked him down? Bah! Why do I do the poor lad the injustice to mix him up in this affair? It was that in fernal lie Dave Black told me.” After another period of thought ho would come round upon the subject again, and wish in vain that ho could drive it from his mind. “.Never mind, I'll watoh the boy and see what I can discover in this atlair. Do you feel better now, stranger?” he asked, aloud. “I am not so stunned and confused, but I am suffering severe pain,” was the answer. “Are you sufficiently recovered to tell how this happened, and who it was attacked you, and what for?” asked the farmer. “I know but little about it; all I know is it was an attempted murder and robbery.” “How many were there ct the rob bers?” “Three or four, I could not say which.” “I heard a shot; was you hit?” “No, I lired the shot myself.” “Did you hit any of the rascals?” “I can not say, for just as I lirod some villain struck my arm and knocked the pistol from my hand.” “Did they take any thing from you?” “I thiuk not. 1 had but little they could take, except my life, and I’m sure it was only your opportune ar rival that prevented them taking that.” “Have you any idea who they were?” “No, sir, I am an utter stranger here,” answered the wounded man. They drove along slowly, for the stranger was suffering intense pair.. When they arrived at farmer Miles’ house, they found the wounded stranger’s horses standing meekly by the gate with a remnant of the shut tered buggy attached to them. The farmer went in and broke the news to his wife and daughter, who were still up in the sitting-room. “Where are the boys?” asked the farmer. “They are In bed,” answered his wife. “I'll go and meet them,” said Mr. Miles. He hurried up-stairs to their rooms. John and Ben answered his calls. “Where is Walter?” he asked, as John appeared at the door of his room, rubbing his eyes rather sleepily. “In his bed,” said John. “Hurry up you fellows; there’s been a robbery down the road, and almost a murder. I've got a wounded man in the wagon, you must all come out and help carry him in.” As Walter Brownfield still did not answer, he entered his room and ap proached his bed, and found it unoc cupied. “Walter is not here, where is he?” asked Mr. M ies.. “He went to bed there,” said John, who being now thoroughly awake, was and ressing rapidly. “Yes, but he got up two hours ago and went out,” said Ben; “ho’s not been back since.” The farmer staggered as if he had re pe}ve4 a blow, “Dave Black must be fight and Walter is one ot the robbers who attacked the stranger on the Bushville road.” He said nothing, however, but hur ried out with John and Ben to carry in the wounded man. When Mr. Brown had been placed in bed and made as comfortable as possible, Ben Miles was sent to put away the horses and John to Bushville to inform the sheriff and bring a doctor. Upon examining Mr. Brown’s inju ries, Mr. Miles discovered that he had several bruises about the heatl and shoulders, and his left arm was broken. John had been gone nearly an hour when the door opened and Walter Brownfield entered the sitting-room, his face Hushed and paled by turns, and to Mr. Miles appeared decidedly guilty. His astonishment knew no bounds at the sight of the wounded man. “Where have you been, Walter?” asked the farmer, “I did not feel well, and arose from my bed to take a walk in the night air.” “That settles it,” thought the farm er, though he said nothing. “He is a robber, and to think that I have been harboring him.” The farmer no longer doubted Wal ter’s guilt, blit his great desire was to bring the entire gang to justice. Should he have Walter arrested tlie others would leave the country; there fore he must bide his time. Ben told Walter all he knew about the attack on Mr. Brown, and how, if his father had not charged down to the rescue in a two-horse wagon, lie would have been killed. Walter listened in real, though Mr. Miles construed it to be only a feigned, wonder. The doc tor came, as did the sheriff, The form er set the arm and dressed the wounds, and the latter had a long conversation with Mr. Miles and departed. For three or four days the sheriff’ with a Kosse of men rode about the country, ut found no clue to the would-be rob bers and assassins. The next day Mr. Miles met Hawk ins, his thriftless neighbor, and gave him an amusing account of how he had frightened a dozen brigands, and run them from an intended victim. “Who were they?” asked Hawkins. “ I have no idea.” “Couldn’t you see ’em?” “See them? no; it was dark as a ‘stack of black cats.’ I couldn’t see my hand before me, but I heard them knocking and swearing. I heard a pistol shot, and knew that business of a serious nature was goingou.” “And have you no idea who they were?” asked Jack Hawkins, with a look of intense interest. “No, I have not,” was the answer of tite farmer, after a few moments' reflection. He thought to himself: T better not tell Jack, because he’ll be sure to tell that trifling Bill Martin, and it’ll be sure to be all over the country.” “Is the stranger bad hurt?” ‘aAVs but not dangerous; he has a brmTen arm and some bruises of the head.” “Does he krow who the robbers were?” “No; he’s a stranger here, and knows no one but Mr. Smallweed, the banker. His name is Brown, and lie has just returned from California. He is immensely rich, I think, but has ail his gold in Small weed's bank at Bushville.” As they were on the point of separa tion, Mr. Miles inquired as to the whereabouts of Bill Martin, and was informed that he had received a slight injury in the shoulder by being thrown from a horse, and would prob ably be confined to his bed for several days. Pin key Miles was the nurse of the wounded man. He dictated a letter which she wrote Mr. Smallweed in re gard to business affairs; by it she learned that he was expecting two more boxes of gold coin, on the ex press, and he wished him to go to Queenstown and receive it, suggesting that he had better have a strong guard to prevent the capture of the treasure. “You shall be amply repaid for all your kindness to me, Miss Piukey,” said the Californian. “I have done nothing more than my duty, sir, and I do not require any pay.” “But you deserve pay for your trouble.” It was the third dav after the injury, and Mr. Brown was flushed with fever, which made him talkative. “You must be quiet; you have sat up too much to-day,” she said. Mr. Brown was propped up in bed with bis arm strongly bandaged, lying snug ly under the coverlet ' “I feel better, though, Miss Pinkcy, than I have felt for years,” said the wan. “I am glad to know it, and hope you will soon be well again.” “Sit here by the side of tlie bed as I wish to talk to you,” said Mr. Brown. Piukey did as requested. “How Jong have you livod here?” he asked. “For ten years,” she answered. “Where did you come from, when you came here?’’ “My father is from Pennsylvania.” “You never lived in Illinois?” “No, sir.” “I once did. It was many years be fore you were born. I was a young man then.” The man spoke in short sentences and there was considerable feeling in his tone. “I married one who was the pride of my heart. I loved her and she loved me, but we were poor. The gold excitement of 1849 swept over the country; people went wild over it. I was swept away in the vortex. The parting was hard, but the cherished hope of returning wealthy overcame every other consid eration’. She gave me up. I pressed my wife and babe to my breast and joined the wagon tN waiting in the road, As wo vailed 4wav I turned to catch a last glimpse of the little home that had been so dear to me. I saw my wife standing in the doorway; tears were streaming down her cheeks, and she held aloft the babe that crowed and clapped its hands, unaware of the separation. The sight overcame me and I shed manly tears. “Months were spent in crossing the plains. I need not tell you of the hard ships of an overland journey to Cali fornia. A jouruey Unit took months to complete, months of suffering and priv ations. I labored with zeal and deter mination. I received letters regularly from home. Years passed, I was dis appointed in acquiring the fabulous wealth I had been promised and I had almost made up my mind to return home when I fell sick and came near death’s door. Some rude, though kind hearted friend nursed me to partial health. I failed to more than make a living. A year lat r, in company with a party of prospectors, we struck the richest mine ever known in Cali fornia. There were live of us and we dug every day out of tbh earth a fortune, At the end of a week each man made a cache and buried his treasure. This we did several times. Just as we had determined to return to civilization, the Indlaus attacked us, killing three of my companions and took tlie remaining two of us as prison ers. For fourteen long years I was a prisoner among the red men. A few r months ago I managed to escape and then I began to inquire about my wife and child in the East. I learned that my wife was dead and that my son lived somewhere near here. “My treasure in the cache I found where I had left it, and dug it up, and had it expressed to Quseßstowß iu boxes, and was qr [he jup]t qf my son When the robbeyss attacked “Do you know w here he is?” asked Pinkey. “I do not,” It was evident that the Californian bad been exdting himself too much, and Pinkey insisted on hit keeping quiet CHAPTER XIL AN UNEXPECTED MKETINO. Preston Flat was in a state of the wildest excitement. That a deliberate attempt should be made upon the highway to rob and murder horrified every body. For days the woods were scoured by mounted horsemen and foot men searching for the robbers. Mr. Miles kept his opinions to himself, but his manner toward Walter became cool. “That boy does look honest; but bow in the world was I so deceived in him!” as he passed near the barn gate, his elbow resting on his hand, ‘j told no QUO my suspicions but the sher-: iff, and if he can’t work up enough circumstantial evidence to convict him, then it ain’t my fault” He walked across the lot where John Miles and Walter were harnessing the horses to the wagon. He noticed that Walter’s eyes were averted from him. “No wonder he can’t bear to look at me,” thought the farmer, “lonlywan-- der that the villain can remain in tho neighborhood.” As John Miles and Walter wer-o about driving to the forest for a load of wood, half a dozen armed and mounted men rode up to the house. Mr. Miles recognized among them the constable. “How is tbe wounded man?" asked the constable of Mr. Miles, as he reigned in his horse in front of the gate, “He is getting some better. Have you any clue yet as to who or where the robbers arc?” “No, not for certain,” tho officers answered. “But we feel assured they are somewhere in the woods betwfeen here and Bushville. We are going now to look for them.” The cavalcade galloped down the road, raising a cloud of dust Walter opened the gate and John drove the team through, then he sprang upon the wagon and they drove away to the forest in the direction of Bush ville.. Walter Brownfield on this day woro a small cap which Mr. Milea thought he kept drawn closely down over his face. *— —The only place in which the aver age woman can be placed w-hcre she can think of absolutely nothing she wants to say is at a telephone. —!*s- - Brute. IS THERE ANY HOPE ? NEW AST) IMPORTANT OPINIONS OF PULMONARY EXPERTS. Can the Universal Consumption be Sur c ess fully Treated ? Dr. Borgeon, a leading French doctor, has anew treatment for consumption. He gives an enema of carbonic acid and sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter gas carrying the former into every part of the throat and lungs. This treatment too, is directed at effects —the cause remains undisturbed. What this cause is has been stated by perhaps the highest pulmonary authority in the world, i. e., the Brompton Hospital for Consumptives, in London, Eng. This malady every year carries off from one-seyenth to one-fifth of the entire population of England. Dr. Payne, M. D., M. R. C. P., London, is authority for this statement. The same or a greater proportion of deaths obtains in America. Dr. Payne a’so says that one half the total number of deaths from all othtr causes have seeds of this disease in the system which only require some irritant to develop ! Dr. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent Ger man authority, says that consumption is caused by deficient nutrition of the lungs, by poor blood. These authorities cannot be disputed. The medical world recognizes them. The uric acid is the irritant in the blood that causes the development of the seeds which Dr. Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood. Eyery particle of blood which passes through the lungs and heart, also goes through the kidneys, and if they are in the least deranged they cannot rid the blood of its killing poison. Ten thousand litt'e hair-like sewer tubes of the kidneys very easily get blocked up and diseased; and when they do,corrupt instead of purifying the blood. Kidney disease may exist, and yet no pain occur in that organ, because it is deficient in nerves of sensation. Dip your finger in acid every day and it soon festers and is destroyed. Send acid poisoned blood through the lungs every second, and they soon give way. The Brompton Hospital investigation showed that 52 per cent of the victims of consumption were afflicted with deranged kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poison to remain in the blood and irritate the lungs. This uric acid is always fight ing every vital organ, and if there be any inherent weakness in the lungs it inevita bly causes pneumonia, cough and con sumption. The real cause of pulmonary troubles being ao authoritatively shown to be faulty even though unsuspected action of the kidneys, explains why, in order to master the dreaded consumption, one must rid the blood of the uric acid irritant which inflames and burns up the lung substance. For this purpose there is nothing equal to that great specific,Warner’s safe cure. This remedy has now the favor of medical men all over the world purely on its merits. We have no doubt that if the kidneys are kept in natural action, consumption and a great many other diseases, caused by uric acid, will not only be cured but will be preyented. Wbeu the kidney is healthy, no albu men appears in the water of more than half of those who die of consumption ! This, then, is the condition of things that always precedes consumption : First, weakened kidneys; second, retained uric acid, poisoning the blood ; third, the de velopment of disease in the lungs by the irritant acids passing through them. Then there is a little cough in the morning! soon thick, yeliow matter is spit up, fol lowed by loss of flesh and strength, with dreadful night sweats; and the patient goes to his school physician tor help, he is put on cod liver oil which his stotnoch, weakened also by uric aced in the blood, cannot digest. Because there is no pain present in the kidneys, the patient does not think they are affected, but the kid ney acid is doing its work every minute, every hour, day and night, and by-and-by the disease of the lungs has advanced until puss is developed, thpn come hem orrhages, and at last the glassy stare which denotes that the end is near! A post examination of such cases shows that the terrible uric acid has complely destroyed the substance of the ung. It is impossible to cure lung disease wheu the blood is poisoned with uric acid.
