AS it under a sudden inspiration
hendricks sprang up, and going to the
bed he pushed aside the sillen curtains
OF the canopy, turned down the sheets
and doubled up the mattress. Then he
drew himself up and began to examine
the bric-a-brac about the room. He
thumped with his knuckles a marble
statue of Venus de Milo in a corner. and
then stood still in the center of the
room and stared at the articles of orna-
ment on the mantel-piece. He walked
slowly backward to the doctor and laid
a hand on his shoulder, and pointed to
large covered Japanese vase, shaped
like an ancient urn.

Lampl1in said nothing as he watched

body of Caruthers, leaving only the
jeweled hand of his victim to prevent
there being any doubt as to the identity

Lampkin got up and peered into the
jar, turning the CHASTITY object over on
the bed of ashes beneath.

A remarkable cure from disease which
