' I was patting In a month In a Swiss
1 town, and as I was strolling along the
highway In the suburbs one day a ve
hicle containing :i single traveler ap
peared.
| The driver pulled up that the traveler
might ask If he could find accommoda
tion at some chalet Instead of the hotel,
as he was not In good health and want
ed quietness. I was lodging at a pri
vate house, and there was room for an
other guest. The stranger was driven
on. ami I sat down on a rock to sum
him up. Having come from the west in
a country vehicle, he must have come
from beyond the railroad station. The
horse looked weary, and the hour was
4 In the afternoon, and I settled it that
he must have come from Thalia, fifteen
miles away. The man wore a hat that
did not fit him and had the collar of his
coot turned up. He had goggles,
though It was a dark day. A j>erson
who wears goggles for weak eyes will
carry a finger to one of the glasses
every two or three minutes, even if ho
doe# not move them occasionally. On
this man's face was a newly grown
beard about an Inch long. Every thirty
seconds up went his hand to scratch.
He was not used to a beard, but had
jrown It for an object. He thickened
his voice when he spoke to u>e. and it
was easy to detect tbe u!inatural In
tonation. Why did he do itTravelers
searching for health are seldom to be
met with in tbe mountain except In
early summer, aud this was late in the
season. He might explain, however.
Kir. Braceby. as he had given his name,
probably had more reasons for seclu
sion than be bad stated, and 1 bad a
curiosity to observe him further.
-He was taken In at the chalet, and
:hat night we ate supper together. I
saw by his table manners that he was
used to the qnick lunches of a rest.-r.;
rant. He claimed to be an Enp
man, but his American idioms wouic
iiave given him away to a child.
In the course of four or five days
I bad the stranger sized up to a dot
:ind would have bet five to one that
my diagnosis was positively correct
Ho was a straight haired American.
He was a public official. It was his
first time abroad. He was In dia
guli* and a fugitive- Whatever boodle
he had with him be bad in his under
shirt pocket. I knew this because he
was constantly raising his hand to the
spoC
I am do man nucrer. i aia noi
to the police or drop a hint to any one.
Of whatever crime he was giii'tr he
was safe from me. 1 knew It wasn't
murvler, unless done In the trial of
passion, for he was sentimental and
tender hearted. I think It was on the
flfth day of hig stay that he became
f»ffi jh *sd caPed in a doctor and
w*»t to bed—mental worry, yon sec
I had ft&ished my supper and was
smoking my pipe when 1 saw a
stranger coming up the path from the
Aotsl. From his gait I Judged him to
he an American. Prom the way be
furtively eyed the chalet and its sur
rounding* I reasoned that he had other
business than looking for lodgings.
As he came to a halt and looked roe
jrer he gave himself away as a de
tective. He had Taken aie for the man
He wanted, and chagrin showed clearly
on his fact*. He was from a western
«ate and on the trail of a defaulting
cfey treasurer.
U was queer enough that he didn't
s«k If there was another traveler In
ike bouse. He took it for granted that
1 was the only one, and be told roe
the ^rboie story of Braceby's theft and
flight. He talked for two hours and
tl in me*t away, saying that he should
hmg around for a few days. Half an
bour after bis going it was discovered
ttiat Braoeby was missing. His bed
room window was over the veranda,
and he had beard all.
When three days had passed and eo
trace of the missing man bad been
had be was given away to the detec
tive by one of the town officials. He
lad left the chalet lightly clad, with
oat food or bnggage and iD a fever,
and the tdca was tbat be had lost h:m
■*elf on the mountains and would per
;sh If not found. Parties were sent
out In search, and it was not long be
fore evidence was found.
Being iH and without food and thinly
clad, he could not keep his life ovet
two or three days. In the gloom of
that first eight be had traveled nearly
rwo miles, making np the mountains
Sjr a path. Then be had wandered
from the path and fallen into a stream
from a thirty foot bank. The rushing
waters had carried him down a mile or
asora, and chey found his'body wedged
between two great rocks.
When the coroner overhauled the
effects found on the body there cr.i.
to light $5.(00 in English money aiid
lrafts for nearly $200,000 more. 13.
lame was not Braoeby, of course, bu:
as the city treasurer of a town in tbc
west he had gobbled its last dollar
md fled with his ill gotten gains tr
;he other side of tbc ocean to enjoy
limself. Re had not spent a thousand
Jollars as yet or bad a moment's foil;
'Vrt. He had too much conscience sod
nst enough nerve. If he had got safety
pray he would never have enjoyed
■aisself. As I looked down at his dead
bofl«r and thought of bis disgraceful
Bfe. 1 felt something more than a pass
ing -sorrow. As I helped carry the
bnflaed and battered corpse down to
the tewn homse for Inquest and bnrlal

Give the Kidneys Help and Many

"Thrw Out the Life Line"—
Weaji kidneys need help.
They're often overworked—the

Will you help them?
Doac's Kidney Piils have brought
benefit to thousand* of kidney suf
ferers.
Head this case:
Mrs. J. H. Van Schaick, ST5 N.
Ninth St., Colton, Cal., says: "1
had a great deal of trouble from
disordered kidneys and my back
was so sore and lame that 1 could
hardly more. I noticed the pains
more <n the morning than at any
other time. I had headaches and
dizzy epells and black specks ap
peared before my eyee. Some
times I could hardly sleep from
nervousness and was all run down.
I fel* tired and languid, had
trouble from the kidney secretions
and my bladder was inflamed.
Doan's Kidney Pills went to the
roo» 0f the trouble at once and
gave me great relief."

V.hen the industry was in its infancy
