MOTHERS
FRIEND

is the one and the only preparation
that is safe to use. 1t is liniment
that penetrates from the outside.
External applications are eternally
right. Internal medicines are radi-
cally wrong. They are more than
humbugs-they endanger life.
Mothers Friend helps the muscles
to relax and expand naturally-re-
lieves morning sickness-removes
the cause of nervousness and head
ache prevents hard and rising
breasts-shortens labor and lessons
the pains-and helps the patient to
rapid recovery.
From a letter by Shreveport, La,
woman 81 have been using your
wonderful remedy, Mothers Friend,
for the last two months, and find it
lust as recommended, :"
Druggists sell it at 81 per bottle.

No woman can be too careful of
her condition during the period be-

lies with her whether she shall suffer

shall be made comparatively easy.

Mr.. Gryce's features assume an aspect
| quite uncommon to them.
Your mothers grave?'' said he,
looking from her to Loreen with very
evident doubt. II thought your mother
died seven or more years ago, and this
grave has been dug within three days. :"
II know" she whispered. "To the
world my mother has been dead many,
many years, but not 20 us We losed
her eyes night before last, and it was to
preserve this secret, which involves 9TH
ers affecting our family honor, that we
resorted to expedients which have per-
haps attracted the notice of the police
and drawn this humiliation down upon
u.s. l can conceive no other reason for
this visit, ushered in as it was by Mr.
Trohm."
Miss Lucetta, Mr.. Gryce spoke up
quite quickly-if he had not certainly
could not have restrained some express
sion of the emotions awakened in my own
breast by this astounding revelation
Miss Lucetta, it is not necessary to
bring Mr.. Trohm's name into this mat
ter or that of any other person than my
self. saw the coffin lowered here,
which you say contained the body of
your mother. Thinking this strange
place of burial and not knowing it was
your mother, Miss Knollys, to whom
you were paying these last dutiful rites,
/ took advantage of my position as de-
tective to satisfy myself that nothing
wrong lay behind so mysterious death
and burial. Can you blame me- Miss
Knollys? Would have been man to
trust if l had let such an event go by
unchallenged in this lane?"
She did not answer She had heard
but one sentence of all this long speech.
"You saw my mothers coffin lower
ed? Where were you that You should
see that? In some of these dark passages,
let in by know not what traitor to our
peace of mind" And her eyes, which
seemed to have grown almost supernat-
urally large and bright under her emo
tions, turned slowly in their sockets till
they rested with something like doubt
full accusation upon mine Blu, not 70
remain there, for Mr.. Gryce recalled
them almost instantly back by this
short, sharp negative.
''No, was nearer than that. l lert
my strength to this burial If you had
thought to look under Mother James
hood, you would have seen what would
have forced these explanations then and
there"
"And you"-
"And was Mother Jane for that
night. Not from choice, miss, but from
necessity. It was I your brother saw in
the cottage. l could not give away my
plans by refusing the task your brother
offered me"

very well, !" said he. "The quickest
explanation is the kindest in these cases
merely wish, as police officer whose
business in this lane is to locate these
disappearances and who believes the
surest way to do this is to find out once
for all where they did not and could not
have taken place, to make an official
search of these premises as already
have those of Mother Jane and Of Dea-
con Spear"
"And my errand here" said Mr..
Trohm, sis to make all easier by the
assurance that my house will be the
next which will undergo complete in
vestigation. AS all the houses in the
lane will be visited alike, none of us
need complain or feel our good name at
tackled"
This was certainly thoughtful, but
knowing what did could not expect
Loreen or Lucetta to show any great
sense either of his kindness or Mr..
Gryce's consideration. They were in no
position to have a search made Of their
premises, and, serene as was Loreen's
nature and powerful as was Lucetta's
will, the apprehension under which
they labored was evident, though neither
attempted either subterfuge or evasion.
''If the police wish to search this
house, it is open to them," said Loreen.
''But no. to Mr.. Trohm," quoth Lu-
cetta quickly. "Our poverty should be
our protection from the curiosity of
neighbors.
'Mr. Trohm has no wish to intrude, 3"
said Mr.. Gryce, but Mr.. Trohm said
nothing He probably understood why
Lucetta wished to curtail his stay in
this house better than Mr.. Gryce did.

desired or Lucetta had patience for. But
nothing was said in protest nor did the
older detective give an order or mani
fest any especial interest in the investi-
| cation till he saw the men in front stoop
I and throw out Of the way coil of rope,
| when he Immediately hurried forward
and called upon the party to stop.
The girls, who were on either side of
me, crossed glances at this command,
and Lucetta, who had been totter-
ing forward feebly for the last few
minutes, fell upon her knees and hid
her face in the hollow of her two hands.
Loreen came around and stood by her,
and do not know which presented the
most striking picture of despair, the
shrinking figure of Lucetta or the
straight but quivering form of Loreen
lifted to meet the shafts of fate with
out droop of her eyelids or murmur
from her lips. The light of the one Ian
tern which Intentionally or uninten-
tionally was concentrated on this pa
thetic group made it stand out from the
midst Of the surrounding darkness in q
way to draw the gaze of Mr.. Gryce up
on them. He looked, and his own brow
became overcast Evidently we were
not far from the cause of their fears.
Ordering the candle lifted, he sur
veyed the ceiling above, at which Lo-
reen's lips opened slightly in secret
dread and amazement, Then he COM
manded the men to move on slowly,
while he himself looked overhead rather
than underneath, which seemed to as
tonish his associates, who evidently had
heard nothing of the hole which had
been cut in the floor of the flower parlor.
Suddenly heard slight gasp from
Lucetta, who had not moved forward
with the rest of us. Then her rushing
figure flew by US and took up it's stand
by Mr.. Gryce, who had himself paused
and was pointing with his imperious
forefinger to the ground under his feet.
"You will dig here" said he, not
needing her, though am sure he was
as well acquainted with her proximity
as we. .'tH"qa..
"Dig?' murmured Loreen in what
we all saw was final effort to stave off
disgrace and misery.
"My duty demands it," said he.
"Some one else has been digging here
within a very few days, Miss Knollys.
That is as evident as is the fact that q
communication has been made with this
place through an opening into the room
above. Seep" And taking the lantern
from the man at his side he held it up
toward the ceiling.
There was no hole there now, but the
evidences of there having been one, and
that within very short time, were ap-
parent to all. Loreen made no further
attempt to stay him.
1.-THE house is at your disposal" she
repeated, but do not think she knew
what she said. The man with the bun.
die in his arms was already unrolling
it on the cellar bottom. A spade came
to light, together with some other tools.
Lifting the spade, he thrust it smartly
into the ground toward which Mr.
Gryce's memorable finger still pointed.
At the sight and the sound it made q
thrill passed through Lucetta which
made her another creature. Dashing for
ward, she flung herself down upon the
! spot with lifted head and outstretched
| arms.
"Stop your Decorating hand!' she
cried. "This is grave-the grave, sirs,
