IRVIN ROSNER, To discover the mortal remains of Boss indeed moved them, but no sorrow could be awakensd to modify a reasonable satisfaction. Tom echoed the thought in mind of his friends. "Penny to a certainty," he said, "for it‘s impossible to imaginge these bones can belong to anybody else. What he is going to do for us remains to be seen, but one thing at least we can do for him and that is to give the old lad decent burial,." The bones, despite the attrition of half a century, were sturdy still and of considerable size. The skull shone silver bright and grinned up at them cheerfully, The _ eyeâ€"sockets â€" sank deep; the dome was of a dead whit? but still perfcct and so clean that evâ€" ery suture could be noted; the ivory in the jaws had withered and spoke of age. There was a speck of gold in one hollow tooth. For a moment the four stood silent and Jane was the first to speak. "Benny!" she murmered. Various emotions agreeable to their characters and quality moved in the hearts of the beholders; but it was natâ€" ural that Pardo should feel the most acutely. For the rest, here was only an arresting proof that their enterâ€" prise still steod on sound foundations. â€"not of lifeâ€"but the desolate and disâ€" membered fragments cof a being whc had once lived. And it was something finite and distinctive that linked the vanished existence to their own. A human skeleton lay supine on the ebâ€" only sand, whose darkness set off the gleaming lustre of its bones. A museum specimen could not have been displayed to better purpose, for the fragments of hand and feet lay tained in place by the earth on which they rested.â€" Not a splint>r of the anâ€" cient structure appeared to be missing though it had fallen apart; the ribs were stranded amid the vertebrae and thef ragments of hand and feet lay detached but they had not scattered, and together indicated the vanished body of an undersized, thouzh heavily built man. tenucus, (TC€ heavy threa abov> them gilant lichen cifered foot} Then ther first discover ing together, Wwaltet, al had muc exploded the gulle: honey w0 it szszeme North Bay with C.N.R.

"I‘m thinking of what mizht have happened," he continued. "If Benny got his treasure and was coming back with it, then, assuming some wild animal robbed him of his life, it wouldn‘t have robbed him of his hoard, and the hoard might have sunk don‘t think any were fired, but I can‘t be sure." ‘"We shall know soon enough in any case," declared Jane, "and the sooner the better. I‘m getting choked with sulphur. If the cache shows up by the hotâ€"spring, that‘s proof positive he never got there; and if there‘s no cache we‘re done anyway." The men picked up their spades and proceedred, Angus had run on before and was already at the turn, while Jane followed him, making slower progress over the rough ground, and Tom and Felice came behind her. They were talking, and Aylmer, reminded by the discqvery of the revolver, regretted that they had forgotten to bring their own weapons in the haste of depanture. Something must have laid out Benny Boss," he said, "but, after the passing of hailf a century, that something ought to be dead itself." "It‘s a mass of rust," he said, "but the chambers have cartridges in them The charges may have rotted away. 1 ‘"Much may turn on that." suggested Angus. ‘"We know he came alone for his treasure; but was he dead before he reached it, or killed on the way back to his boat after he had got it? In the latter case, the treasure would be here, unless he was killed by an enemy, who took if from him after he was dead. The revolver may have been used by somebody else to shoot Benny and unâ€" less he was shot through the head, there would be nothinz left to show if that were so." But the vanished man‘s skull reâ€" vealed no injury. It was perfect. "It‘s far more likely that he neve: got to his cache," said Jane. "He knew there was danger and came armed but he<must have been surprised before he had time to put up a fight. Can you tell if the revolver is empty or loaded? Give it to Felice. He understands fireâ€" arms better than you do." "*He came armed, you see, and the weapom must have dropped from his hand when he fell. That seems to shcw he actually died on this spot," he sald. Tom had bent over the remains and ncw made a discovery. Thust from the cindery sand there stuck a pisce of metal and drazging it out, he found the rusty fragments of an oldâ€"fashionâ€" etl revolver. seme moments he forgot his companâ€" ions. Then Jane spoke., "We must bury him properly befort we go," she said. skull saluted him and invited him to take what was his owmnm. A sort of inâ€" ner vo‘ice informed Felice that, what for the moment appeared impossible, was going to happen and the treasurs presently lie within his reach. Thereâ€" fore he assured his conscience that to shirk any future ordeal anon awaiting him must be treachery to the dead. For the skeleton at his feet suddenly became alive, urgent, commending BPenny‘s bones were closer to him that the living jeople at his elbow, and for For Pardo there wakened stranger arsl deeper sentiments that he might not share with the others. He knew that he was regarding the dust of an anâ€" cestor, that the life forces onte active amongst the debris at his feet still animated his own limbs and beat in his | heart. ‘The man reacted curiously to this strange inspiration.

We shall breathe azain now." They carried unconscious Jane up the little companion ladder and Angus fetâ€" ched the cook who was the ship‘s docâ€" tor and declared to be a very skill>d physician. He tended Jane without ceremony, declared that she was only in a heavy faint and told them that she would soon come to her senses and be not much the worse. "Jane! Jane! Say something you‘re all right," he begged then heard her beâ€" loved voice. He spoke truly, for Tom felt her hand tighten upon his presently, and he saw that her eyes had opened. Felice was apparently in the best of spirits, but he restrained his cheerfulâ€" ness before Tom, who became very hagâ€" gard and anxious as they reached the Iguana. Tom held fainting Jane in his lap while the others pulled as hard as they might for the ship. She breathed faintly, but her face was white under her tan and as yet she showed no signs of returning consciousness. It was typical of the sensitive Peruâ€" vian that first act was to explain the accident responsible for saving the lovâ€" ers. ‘‘*You chaps will laugh at me," he said quietly, "but TI‘ve carried this little toy under my armpit for 10 years, Some ancestral instinet perhaps." Maine "It‘s here!" he shouted. "A little cairn alongside the hotâ€"spring, but the furnaces on the ship are a fool to the heat in there. How we‘re going to dizâ€"" He stopped and saw the dead spider. ‘"‘Talk afterwards. Help Tom," said Pardo. "We must get Jane back to the boat first. Carry her between you and T‘ll watch out." The girl was still unconscious, and while â€" her ~sweetheart and Angus brought her back to the shore, Felice followed, his eyes to the right and left. "God bless you, Felice!" was all that Tom could say. He shook and showed himself unmanned, but Pardo revealed no loss of nerve, He took his knife, cut Aylmer loose and then hastened to Jane while Tom followed him. At the same moment Angus returned full of his own excitement. He had not heard the shots for the din of the geyser had drowmned them. Then sounded a sudden explosion waking violent echoes, while another quickly followed it. Pardo was not unâ€" armed. He carried a small revolver alâ€" ways, in a pocket under his left armpit; but he had never told his friends of this ancient habit for fear of their ridâ€" icule. Now he had drawn it and fired twice into the bulk of the gigantic inâ€" sect, killing it instantly. It died as spidâ€" ers do, curled over and contracted its eight legs about its body. Its eyes went out; it quivered for a few momâ€" ents in every huge limhb, then moved no more. Jane was quickly out of her trouble, for horrer brought unconsciousness and she fainted, while Tom, armed only with his spade, leapt into the path of the advancing monster and felt the strands of its web tightening about his legs as he did so. He lifted the spade and prepared to make a fight but knew it must be fruitless, for the creature towered above him and its hairy legs were as thick as his body. "Get back, you devil!" he bawled, hoping that his voice might frighten it; but the spider came onâ€"near enough for him to se its poison fangs like long daggers beneath its eyes. He ran forward, bringing out his knife, then suddenly stood stock still as though frozen. From the grey cavern something â€"suddenly and silently came It was a black lump of a creature that looked like a gigantic gorilla advancing on all fours; but, though it had shining red eyes as large as motor lamps, the creature possessed no face, and not upâ€" on all fours it went but upon eight legs. It towered above them and crept leisurely towards Jane. "Cut me out of this tangle, Tom," she said, "I ought to have jumped over it, as Angus did, but thought it was only lichen. It‘s tough and sticky and I can‘t get out." into the sand and be quite close to his bones,. The bon»s themselves tell you something. They are not scattered or [ knocked about. You might expect that any huge beast would have smashed him aficr it had killed him but nothing o¢f that sort happened. He just died here an: has remained here ever since, while his body and his clothesâ€"even his booctsâ€"were all turned to dust and blown away." As Pardo spoke the horror cam>, and thsy saw Jane stumble and fall. She stood oppasite one of the grey, cavernâ€" ous cones in the rock and, hastening to her they saw that orpeâ€"like filaments ran out from it into the gorge, and that she had caught her feet in them and been brouzht down. She laughed as they approached and made to rise, but then her arms were caught and strands of the net proved beyond her power to break. ' l < Thank God for that then JANE RECOVERS THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO said Cancers arising in the forward part of the back of the tongue are easily reached and an effective cure obtained by radium. _ Unfortunately the little glands of the neck, adjcoining the mouth, are not reached effectively by radium and usually must be removed by surgery . "The greater part of cancers of the mouth were incurable until radium was used. The front part of the tongue permits a correct implantation of raâ€" dicactive needles; in others, such as the floor of the mouth or the hard palate, a small radiating apparatus can be applied without great difficulty: in the lining surface of the cheeks excelâ€" lent results can likewise be obtained." Cancers arising in the forward part Dr. Antoine Lacassagne of the Radâ€" ium Institute of the University of Paris in an article in Canadian Medical Asâ€" sociation Journal says, "The anatomical siteâ€"place in or on the bodyâ€"often deâ€" termines the choice as to what method of treatment should be used. Two loâ€" cations where radium is the choice beâ€" cause of its effectiveness are the mouth and the uterus." Where Radium and Xâ€"ray Are Most Effective in Curing Cancer Now that the problem of cancer has become a part of our national, in fact, family life and thousands who in formâ€" er days would have been doomed are being cured and restored to home and business, the question may be asked why is the knife used to remove cancer in some cases, whilst in others radium and the xâ€"ray seem to be just as eff>câ€" tive. Generally speaking, radium is usâ€" ed if the cancer can be easily reached. (To be Continued) The characters in this story are >nâ€" tirely imaginary.

"He was on his way up the cleft. What Angus saw proves that." ‘‘Anybody could have done it, Jane. I‘m glad, for now I know why I always carried my little revolver. I was made to do it because toâ€"day was coming." "I thank you dearly, Felice," she said. "You‘ve saved two lives today and the thought of you will be precious to us for ever. ‘It‘s hard to think we all forgot the automatics," said Jane. "Whas it really a spider?

Dr. Lacassagne has this to say of a great many cancers, "Too many canâ€" cers, among the most frequent, do not respond in a satisfactory manner to radium, notably cancer of stomach and intestine, of the bladder, and â€"of the prostate gland at neck of bladder." From the above information we leain that radium is a definite cure (in early stages) of surface cancers â€" skin, mouth, tongue, uterus; that xâ€"rays are useful in some other cases of cancer, but that in cancer of the stomach, inâ€" testine, and bladder, surgery is the best method of cure.
