Desperate attempts of the Mexi

"To Them That Hath"
i V SHORT si H Mn\ TO FAT FOLKS
"To them that hath shall be giv
en" Is a sentence that applies to
fat people very neatly. It Is com
mon knowledge that once a human
I being begins to fatten up, to what
! they have already is added more
than they want until finally a
j stage Is reached where reduction
i must be made or decided disadvant
age results.
Then comes forward the ages-old
query, "Reduce—but how?" To the
uninformed nothing s-UKcesta Itself
but the (to them) twin evils — less
eating—more activity. They con
template a more or less lengthy
siege of dieting and exercising. So
It may be said-safely that every
man or woman In the land now
undergoing the fattenlng-up pro
cess has his or her mental eye
fixed dubiously on that not far. dis
tant day when he or she will have
to don the "ashes and sackcloth of
reduction."
This Is not an enlivening pros
pect, and so it Is with considera
ble satisfaction that we announce
the emancipation of the fat. Now
adays one may reduce much or lit
tle, a pound a day If desired, or
hold their fat In check, absolute
ly stationary, without doing a tap
of exercise, missing a single meal,
doing a particle of harm or caus
ing a solitary wrinkle. All that's
required, as hundreds testify, is the
taking after meals and nt bedtime
of one Marmola Prescription Tab
let, which tablets are sold by the
Marmola Co., 1141 Farmer Bldg.,
Detroit, Mich., or any good drug
gist, at the uniform price of 75
cents, this sum being accepted for

THE MKRCV HION—ONK
(Continued Fom Yesterday.)
Thus it was that Mr. Adrian
Van Reypen Edgerton Jones
I found himself on a hot May even
! ing pursuing the Adventure of I/fo
j into the vestibule of a rather din
- gy old house which had once been
| the abode of solemn prosperity if
r not actual aristocracy in the olden
■ days of New York City. Almost
; immediately the telegraphic click
' of the lock apprised him that he
; might enter, and as he stepped in
to the hallway the door of the
right-hand ground-floor apart
ment opened to him.
! "You will please come in," said
| a voice.
The tone was gentle and meas
ured. Also it was, by its accent,
' alien to any rightful Smith. The
! visitor stepped into a passageway
i which was dim —until he entered
jit and the door swung behind
. him. Then it became pitch black.
i "You will pardon this," said
■ the voice. "A severe affection of
i the eyes compels me."
"You are Mr. Smith?" asked
Average Jones.
"Yes. Your hand if you please."
The visitor, groping, brushed
11with his fingers the back of a
hand which felt strangely hot and
pulpy. Immediately the hand
turned and closed, and he was led
forward to an inner room and
seated in a chair. The gentle, hot
clasp relaxed and left hit. wrist
free. A door facing him, if hiR
ears could be trusted, opened andj
shut.
"You will find matches at your
elbow," said the voice, coming
dully, from a farther apartment.
"Doubtless you would be more
comfortable with a light."
"Thank you," returned Average
Jones, enormously entertained by
the dime-novel setting which his
host had provided for him.
He lighted the gas and looked
about a sparsely furnished room
without a single distinguishing
feature, unless a high and odd
shaped traveling-bag which Blood

WASHINGTON, D. C, April 9.
—The United States will use Pal
myra Island for a coaling station
for the Pacific fleet upon the com
pletion of the Panama canal.

on a chair near by could be so re

his survey.
"You have come in answer tv
my advertisement?"
"Yes, sir."
"You are, then, of scientific
pursuit?"
"Of scientific ambition, at least.

ments."
"Your name, if you please."
"Jones; A. Jones, of New York
City."
"You live with your family "
"I have no family or near rela

"That is well. I wifl not con
ceal from you that there Are risks.
But the pay is high. Can you en
dure exposure? Laboring in all
weathers? Subsisting on rough
fare and sleeping as you may?"
"I have camped In the north

"Yes," mused the voice. "You

Average Jones arose. "You—
er—are spying upon me, then,"
he drawled quietly. "I might
have—er—suspected a peep-hole.'
He advanced slowly toward the
door whence the voice came. A
chair blocked his way. Without
lowering his gaze the shoved at
the obstacle with his foot.
"Have a care!" warned the
voice.
; The chair toppled and overtnrn
; cd. From it fell, with a light
i chock, the strange valise, which,
{striking the floor, flew open, dis
closing a small cardboard cabinet.
Across the lront of the cabinet
: was a strip of white paper labeled
in handwriting, each letter being
individual, with what looked to
the young man like the word
"MERCY." He stooped to re
place the bag.
"Do not touch it," ordered the
voice peremptorily.
Average Jon*>B straightened up
to face the door a aln.
: "I will apologize for my clum
siness," he said slowly, "When
you explain why you have tried to
dropped anchor off Palmyra
Island," the admiral reported,
"there was no sign of human hab
itation."
Upon landing, the admiral and
his men discovered no signs of
mankind or even the animals
which they expected to find there.
On the trunk of a fallen tree,
however, was discovere dthe let
ter "M" thickly overgrown with
moss and on another tree was an
"A" similarly encrusted. A gin
bottle, empty, wag discovered at
trick me."
There was a pause. Then—
"Presently," said the voice.
"Meantime, after what you have
•accidentally seen, you will per
haps appreciate that the employ
niiMit is not without its peril."
', jAverugo Jones stared from the
tlucr to the floored cabinet and
baisfc again in stupefaction.

"Bit a misshapen valise contain

"What is your branch of ecien

the other.
*i£>Bo any>" replied the young
man, at random. (
f^So other? Physics? Entom
ology? Astronomy Chemistry?
Biology?"
The applicant shook his head
In repeated negation. "None that
I've specialized on."
"Ah! I fear you will not suit
my purpose."
"All right. But you haven't ex
plained, yet, why you've been
studying me through a peep-hole,
when 1 am not allowed to see
you."
After a pause of consideration
the voice spoke again.
"You are right. Since I can not
employ you, I owe you every
courtesy for having put you to
this trouble. You will observe
that 1 am not very presentable."
The aide door swung open. In
the dimness of the half-disclosed
apartment Average Jones saw a
man huddled in a chair. He wore
a black skull cap. So fa* as Ident
ification went he was safe. His
whole face was grotesquely blotch
ed and wollen. So, also, were the
hands which rested on his knees.
j "You will pardon me," said Av
erage Jones, "but I am by nature
cautious. You have touched me.
Is it contagious?'.'
A contortion of the features,
probably indicating a smile, made
the changeling face more hideous
than before.
