THE GOLD OF THE GODS Tjxr. A DTUT TD T "D TT? (A Mystery of the Incas Solved by JD I ' AlX 1 IlU XV J3. XVHJD V r! Craiir Kennedy. Scientific Detective)

"IT isolated it In hit blood, extracted it eternised it, and re tried It on myself." . , . In breathless amarement, with eyes riveted on him we listened. "Then that wa what was the matter?" I blurted out "You had been trying the poison on yourself?" He nodded unconcernedly. "Alto nether," he explained, as Leslie and I listened, speechless. "I was able to recover from both blood samples eix centigrams of the poison. It is almost unknown. I could only be sure of what I discovered by testing the physiology ' leal effects. I was very careful. What else was there to doT I couldn't ask ' yon fellows to try It, if I was afraid." "Good heavens!" gasped Leslie, "and I alone, too." "You wouldn't have let me do it, if I I hadn't got rid of you." he smiled quietfly. .- ' Leslie shook bis bead. Tried it on the dog and made himself the dog!" exclaimed Leslie. "I need the credit of a successful case but 111 not take this one." Kennedy laughed, "Starting with two centigrams of the I stuff as a moderate dose," he pursued, while I listened, stunned at his daring, "I injected it into my right arm subI cntaneously.. Then I. slowly worked i my way np to three and then four I centigrams. You see what I had recovered was far from the real thing. They did not seem at first to produce amy very appreciable results other than to cause some dizziness, slight vertigo, a considerable degree of lassitude, and an extremely painful headache of rather unusual duration." "Good nigh(!" I exclaimed. "Didn't that satisfy you?" "Five centigrams considerably improved on It," he continued, paying no attention to me. "It caused a degree of lassitude and vertigo that was most distressing, and six centigrams, the ' whole amount which I had recovered 1 from the samples of blood, gave me the . fright of my life right here in this laboratory a few minutes before you i came ln.H t Leslie and I looked at each other , and shook our beads. "Perhaps I was not wise in giving myself so large an injection on a day

when I was overheated and below par otherwise, because of the strain I have been under in handling this case, as

well as other work. However that may be, the added centigram produced so much more on top of the five centigrams I bad previously taken that for a time I had reason to fear that that additional centigram was just the amount needed to bring my experiments to a permanent close. "Within three minutes of the time of Injection the dizziness and vertigo had become so great as to make walking ceem impossible. In another minute the lassitude rapidly crept over me, and the serious disturbance of any breathing made it apparent to me that walking, waving my arms, anything was imperative. My lungs felt glued up, and the muscles of my chest refused to work. Everything swam before my eyes, and I was soon reduced to walking up and down the laboratory floor with halting steps, only preventing falling on the floor by holding fast to the edge of the table. "I thought of the tank of oxygen, and managed to crawl over and turn It on. I gulped at it. It seemed to me that I spent hours gasping for breath. It reminded me of what I once experienced in the Cave of the. Winds of Niagara, where water is more abundant in the atmosphere than air. Yet xoy watch afterward indicated only about twenty minutes of extreme distress. But that twenty minutes is one period I shall never forget I advise you. Leslie, if you are ever. so foolish as to, try the experiment, to remain below the five-centigram limit." "Believe me, I'd rather lose my lob," returned Leslie. - - "How much of the stuff was administered to Mendoza," went on Kennedy,

Can't Find Dandruff

Every bit of dandruff disappears af

ter one of two applications of Danderlne rubbed well into the scalp with the finger tips. Get a 2p-cent bottle of Danderine at any drug store and save your hair. After a few applications you can't find a particle of dandruff or any falling hair, and the scalp will never itch. Adv.

Child's Tongue Becomes Coated If Constipated When cross, feverish and sick give "California Syrup of Figs." Children love this "fruit laxative," and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, ltver and bowels so nicely. A child will simply not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggfsh, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath Is bad, system full of .'cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or . diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoohful of "California Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the system, and you have a well, playful child again. Millions of mothers give "California Byrup of Figs" because It is perfectly harmless; children love it, .and.it never, falls to act. on the stomach, liver and bowels.- ; Ask your druggist "for a' 60-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle.

of counterfeits sold here. Get the

"I cannot say. But it must have been a good deal more than I took. Six centigrams which I recovered from these small samples are only ninetenths of a grain. You see what effect that much had. I trust that answers your question?" Dr. Leslie was too overwhelmed to reply. "What Is this deadly poison that waq used on Mendoza?" I managed to ask. "You have been fortunate enough to obtain a sample of it from the Museum of Natural History," returned Craig. "It comes in a little gourd, or often a calabash. This Is in a gourd. It is a blackish, brittle stuff, incrusting the sides of the gourd just as if .It was poured in in the liquid state and left to dry. Indeed, that is just what has been done by those who manufacture It after a lengthy and somewhat secret process." He placed the gourd on the edge of the table, where we could see it closely. I was almost afraid even to look at it "The famous traveller, Sir Robert Schomburgk, first brought it into Europe and Darwin has described it. It is now an article of commerce, and is to be found, in the United States Fharmacoepia as a medicine, though, of course, it 4s used in only very minute quantities, as a heart stimulant." Craig opened a book to a place he had marked. "Here's an account of it," he said. "Two natives were one

day hunting. They were armed with blow-pipes and quivers full of poisoned darts made of thin, charred pieces , of bamboo, tipped with this stuff. One of them aimed a dart. It missed the object overhead, glanced off the tree, and fell down on the hunter himself. This is how the other native reported the result: "'Quacca takes the dart out of his shoulder. Never a word. Puts it In his quiver and throws it in the stream, Gives me his blow pipe for his little son. - Says to me good-bye for his wife and the village. Then he .lies down. His tongue talks no longer. No eight in his eyes. He folds his arms. He rolls over slowly. His mouth moves without sound. I feel his heart It goes fast and then , slow. It stops. Quacca has shot his last woorali dart.' " Leslie and I looked at Kennedy, and the horror of the thing sank deep into our minds. Woorali.. What was it?

"Woorali, er curare," explained Craig slowly,, "is the well-known

Doison with which the South American

Indians of the upper Orinoco ip their arrows. Its principal ingredient is de

rived from the Strychnos toxlfera tree, which yields also the drug nux vomica, which you, Dr. Leslie, have mentioned. On the tin of that luca dagger must

have been a large dose of the dread curare, this fatal South American

Indian arrow poison. . More Tomorrow.
