Ills father's officers They snapped a pair of handcuffs upon his wrists IJek lockl The officers grinned but young Metzger walked loftily and with a care free expression into an adjoining room from whence bo returned Immediately with the open handcuffs dangling triumphantly from his foxy fin gers Tho officers didn't grin They wished to try again So did Charlie Each was gratified Lick lock wont the handcuffs on the boy's wrists harder than ever No slip this time sure But out from the privacy of the adjoining room strutted the youthful follower of the great Houdini His hands were free again and tho cuffs were open "Well well" marveled the limbs of the law and then some Comes the Coup d'Etat nothing" said Charlie in his pride "Now lock my feef together I'll show you something So the officers put the handcuffs on the boy's "ankles Lick c6up d'etat was at hand whatever that is "I'll be back in a minute or said Charlie Whereupon he hopped with more vigor than dignity lor the adjoining room Walking with tho feet fastened together is not conducive to dignity Both must go forward together but the boy was equal to It and the door closed behind him Th'e officers waited one minute two throe The door remained stubbornly shut live and then some man slapped Ins wife In 1 lauglivllle or the tire liell rang and the great Metzger was forgotten An hour passed two three Louis

adorned the feet and in the lock was a broken key With the cunning of a Houdini he had carried tlie key in bls mouth for his demonstration and it all went well until the coup when the key broke In tlie lock and tho future loomed dark and dreary ace the taunts of tlie men who were waiting In that other room?

METHOD THAT CURES QUICKLY SAELY AND PLEASANTLY WITHOUT OPERATION NO LOSS BLOOD NO LOSS TIME AND NO PAIN Experience is the chief factor in the treatment of anv disease and the many thousands of rupture eases that I have treated and cured have given me experience along this lino that is possessed by but few 1 Avill sec and euro more eases of rupture within a given length of time than all otlior physicians and surgeons in the city combined: My records and letter files will amply prove this to any one 8 LUCKETT Specialist A RUPTURED person should obtain a cure as early as possible If you are RUP TURED you know that the longer you wear a truss the more difficult it is to the rupture until finally the opening will become so large from long standing that no truss will hold it No person that is ruptured has more than half the strength that should justly be theirs The method of cure that I employ was evolved by me after treating thousands of cases by the several older methods The principle is sim ple sound and scientific and consists in permanently clos ing tlie oncninc and nreventimr the descent of the intestines It is painless bloodless and harmless Causes no detention from business or labor and will render tlie parts stronger than normal and grow ing in strength ever afterward IT MAKES NO DIERENCE HOW MANY TIMES YOU HAVE BEEN TREATED I I ACCEPT YOUR CASE I WILL CURE YOU THE UNITED STATES MARINE HOSPITAL STATISTICS show that only about 20 per cent of knife operations for Rupture are successful My records show 98 per cent of permanent cures and many of the uncured 2 per cent could be cured if they would observe the few easy directions necessary while under treatment The vast majority of cases are cured In one treatment you visit me and go home the same day with a
