Old King Coffee knocks subjects out tolerably flat at times, and there la no possible doubt of what did it. A Mich, woman gives her experience: I used to have liver trouble nearly all of the time and took medicine which relieved me only for a little while. Then every once in a while I would be suddenly doubled up with an awful agony In my stomach. It seemed aa though every tlme I took a breath I would die. No one could suffer any more and live. Finally I got down bo sick with catarrh of the stomach that I could not turn over In bed, and my stomach did not digest even milk. The doctor finally told me that If I did not give up drinking coffee I would surely die, but I felt I could not give it up. "However, Husband brought home a package of Postum and It waa made strictly according to directions. It waa the only thing that would stay on my stomach, and I soon got so I liked it very much. Gradually I began to get better, and week by week gained In strength and health.

A little later she noticed the vultures which were streaming down out of the sky from all quarters other than seaward. Their focal iioint seemed to lie the trees at the foot of the cleft. A nearer view showed that they were alighting In the thorn bushes on the south border of the wood. Of Blake there was nothing to be seen until Miss IesHe, still In the lead, pushed in among the trees. There they found hlin crouched beside a small fire, near the edge of the pool. He did not look up. Ills eyes were riveted In a hungry stare iiion several pieces of flesh, susjiended over the flames on spits of green twigs.

Though Wlnthrope had his suspicions, he took the piece of flesh which Blake handed him In turn and fell to eating without further quesAs Blake had surmised, the tion. roast proved far other than tender. Hunger, however, lent It a moat ap petlzlng flavor. The repast ended when there was nothing left to devour. Blake threw away his empty spit and rose to stretch.

Here arose a heated debate between the men. Wlnthrope, stung by Blake's jeering words. Insisted upon sharing the attack, though with no great enthusiasm. Much to Blake's surprise, Miss Ijeslle came to the support of the Englishman. But, Mr. Blake, she argued, you aay It will be perfectly safe for ua here. If so. It will be safe for myself alone." j I can play this game without him. No doubt. Yet If, as you say, you expect to keep off the leopard with a torch, would it not be well to have Mr. Wlnthrope at hand with other torches, should yours burn out?" "Yes; if I thought he'd be at hand after the first scare." Winthroiie started off almost on a run. At that moment he might have Blake faced the leopard single-handechuckled as he swung away after his victim. Within ten paces, however, he paused to call back over his shoulder: "Get around the point. Miss Jenny, and if you want something to do, try braiding the cocoanut fiber. Miss Leslie made no response; but she stood for some time gazing after the two men. There waa so much that was characteristic even In this rear view. For all his anger and hia haste, the Englishman bore himself with an air of well-brenicety. His trim, erect figure needed only a fresh suit to he irreproachable.

But was not that enough? "Of what use are such people aa I? she cried. That man may be rough and coarse even a brute; but he at least does things 1'H show him that I can do things, too! She hastened out around the corner of the cliff to the spot where they had .spent the night. Here she gathered together the cocoanut huaka, and seating herself In the shade of the overhanging ledges began to pick at the coarse fiber. It waa cruel work for her soft fingers, not yet fully healed from the thorn wounds. At times the pain and an overpowering sense of injury brought tears to her eyes; still more often she dropped the work In despair of her awkwardness. Yet always she returned to the task with renewed energy. she After no little perseverance, found how to twist the fiber and plait it into cord.

Her voice shrilled to a scream: "He's dead!", Wlnthrope shook his head. "Then he's hurt! he's hurt by that savage creature, and you've run off and left him " "No, no. Miss Genevieve, I must innot even Is sist! The fellow scratched. "Then why V It was the horror of It all. It actually made me ill." You frightened me almost to death. Did the beast chase you?"

Part of it Blake made into torches, and we fired the buBh all across the foot of the cleft. Really, one would not havp thought there was that much dry wood in so green a dell. On either side of the rill the grass and brush flared like tinder, and the flames swept up the cleft far quicker than we had expected.
