Hunted Down
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1915. by the McClure
Newspaper Syndicate.
1 '
1 was putting in a month iu a Swiss
town, and as 1 was strolling along the
highway In the suburbs one day a ve
hicle containing a single traveler ap
peared.
The driver palled 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 bouse, and there was room for an
other guest. The stranger was driven
on, and 1 sat down on a rock to sum
him up. Having come from the west In
a country vehicle, be 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 miut have come from Thalia, fifteen j
miles away. The man wore a bat that
did not fit him and bad the collar of his
coat turned up. lie had goggles, I
though It was a dark day. A person !
who wears goggles for weak eyes will

•very two or three minutes, even if he
does not move them occasionally. On
this man's face was a newly growu
beard about an Inch long. Kvery thirty
seconds up went his band to scratch, j
He was not used to a beard, but bad
grown It for au object. He thickened
his voice when he spoke to me. and it
was easy to detect the unnatural in
tonation. Why did lie do it? Travelers
searching for health are seldom to be
met with In the mountain except In
early summer, and this was late in I lie
season, He might explain. however. ■
Mr. Braeeby, as he bad given hi?> name, I
probably bad more reasons for seclu
sion than he had slated, ami I bad a
curiosity to observe him further.
He was taken iu at the chalet, and
that uigbt we ate supper together. 1 j
«*w by his table mauuers that he was
used to the quick lunches <>f a restau- j
rant. He claimed to be au ICuglisb
man. but his American Idioms wouid
have given him away to a child.
In the course of four or five days
I had the stranger sized up to a dot
and would have bet five to one that
my diagnosis was positively correct.
He was a straight haired American.
He was a public official. It was his
first time abroad. He was in dis
guise and a fugitive. Whatever boodle
he had with him he bad in his under- |
shirt pocket. I knew this because he
was constantly raising his hand to the I
spot.
1 am qo man hunter. I did not go
to tbe police or drop a bint to any one
Of whatever crime he was guilty he
was safe from me. 1 knew it wasn't
murder, unless done in the trial of
passion, for he was sentimental and
tender hearted. 1 think it was on the
fifth day of his stay that he became
ferei-db and called In a doctor and
went to bed—mental worry, you see.
I had finished my supper and was
•moklng my pipe when I saw a
stranger coming up the path from the
hotel. From his gait 1 Judged hitn to
be an American. From the way he
furtively eyed the chalet and its sur
roundings 1 reasoned that he had other
business than looking for lodgings.
As he came to a halt and looked me
over he gave himself away as. -'V de
tective. He had taken me for the man
he wanted, and chagrin showed ciearly
on his face. He was from a western
state and on the trail of a defaulting
city treasurer.
It was queer enough that he didn't
ask if there was another traveler in
the house. He took it for granted that
I was the only one. and he told me
tbe whole story of Braceby's theft and
flight. He talked for two hours and
then went away, saying that be should
bang around for a few days. Half an
hour after bis going It was discovered
that Braceby was missing. His bed
room window was over the veranda,
and he had beard all.
When three days had passed and no
trace of- tbe missing man had been
had he was given away to the detec
jtlve by one of the town officials. He
had left the chalet lightly clad, with
out food or baggage and In a fever,
and the idea was that be bad lost him
self on the mountains and would per
mit 11' not found. Parties were sent
.out in. search, end It was not long be
fore evidence was found.
Being 1U and without food and thlniy
dad. be could not keep his life over
two or three days. In the gloom of
that flnt night he had traveled nearly
two miles, making np the mountains
by it path. Then he had wandered
fron the path and fallen into a stream
from a thirty foot bank. The rushing
waters had carried him down a mile or
morat and they fonnd his body wedged
between two great rocks.
• When the coroner overhauled the
effects found on the body there came
to light $3,000 in English mouey and
drafts for nearly $200,000 more. His
name wai not Braceby, of course, but
as tbe city treasurer of a towu In the
west he bad gobbled its last dollar
and fled with his 111 gotten gains to
the other side of the ocean to enjoy
himself. He had not spent a thousand
dollars as yet or had a moment's roni
fori. He bad too much conscience ?uq
not enough nerve. If he had got saftiy
away he would never have enjoyed
himself. As 1 looked down at his dead
body and thongbt of bis disgraceful
life. I felt something more than a pass
ing sorrow. _ As I helped carry the
bruised and battered corpse down to
the town, bouse for inquest and burial
I found tears in my eyes and pity In
my heart.
AM EMPTY STOMACH.
Its Effect Upon the System and Why It
Craves Food. .
During our waking hours the stom
ach Is rarely, ff ever, completely empty;
and apparently there Is a very good
physiological reason why it should not
be. Thus the universal custom of talc
ing meals about live Hours apart, so
that the contents of the stomach are
replenished before the organ Is com
pletely emptied, is dependent tipon a
physical need
Since most foods are not assimilated
by the system directly from the stom
ach. and as food remains in the stom
ach several hours after being swal
lowed. the well known fact that eating
relieves fatigue almost immediately has
long been puzzling. But recent studies
of the still mysterious nctlon of the
gastric juice offer a rational explana
tion. When tile stomach Is empty this
digestive fluid draws directly upon the
blood thus depleting the amount of
nourishment necessary to the muscles
anil producing fatigue, nut the deplet
ing action ceases Immediately when
food enters the stomach; hence the
feeling of refreshment that follows a
meal.
The amount of fluids and salt in the
food also influences the action of gas
tric juke. When either of these is
deficient in quantity the amount of gas
tric juice is reduced. As a result the
food is not properly digested, is hur
ried through the stomach and is likely
to produce intestinal disturbances.
Hard work with profuse sweating re
duces the fluids and salt In the body.
This explains the craving of fluids and
salty foods, which is experienced by
persons taking prolonged muscular ex
ercise and why it Is that when these
substances are lacking Intestinal trou
bles develop.—I.os Angeles Times.
A Prediction by Ouida.
Oulda, far from regarding heavy
feeding as a concomitant of literary
success, once declared that to eat any
thing more than was strictly necessary
w is \ uluitr mid ! irbaric, and, further,
thai to tak.- food in public or anywhere
except in entire domestic privacy was
"an Indeli'-acy which in the coming
uolilen age of refinement we shall not
dream of We shall then," she said, "no
more think of indulging bodily needs In
(be preseni e of others than of cleauing
our teeth or washing our hair tn tlie
public view." And then will be the end
of the "restaurMit" habit.—Pearson's
Weekly.

Rabbi Chonan of Zepora said: "The

a huge heap of dust that lata bet clear

Impossible that 1 should be able to re
move this Immense heap: I will not at
tempt it.' but the wlsu man 'says, *1
will remove a little today, some to
morrow and more the day after, ahd
thus in time I shall have removed It
