I was sitting in my office alone. in the
dark. The unnatmaly gloomy day had
sunk into night an hour before its time.
1t had been long enough to bring me
onward a full days journey to the path
of ruin. The upper drawer on the rignt
side of my desk wished to open, but an
imaginary hand held 1t; woman's
bend white and beautiful. I could not
bring myself to push that vision away
and let the drawer with the revolver in
st spring out.
/ heard the rattle of the elevator door,
Some one was getting out at the eleventh
landing. That would probably be Har-
bert, coming to tell me that business was
business. In his case nothing could be
more untrue. for he was running me from
sheer revenge for a blow struck years
ago, when the fellow behaved like a cur

served. Well he had me where he wanted

I looked out across the main room, az
the ground glass panel that was lighted
from the hail. 1t shone white as mar

topped gravestone. There was my name
in black letters.
1t was not Harbert's shadow that fell
upon the glass; 1t was Amy's. Poor
girl! I know she must have been alarm

I cried out to her as cheerfully as posi-

Where are ali the peopie?" she asked,
looking about at the desks and chairs
of my small staff. Nothing has hap
pened?"

girl, I'm afraid the end is in sight. If
this fellow Harbert could be bottled up
for thirty days, l would be all right

her up close to me. She was trembling.

she, "in-in anything that we care about"

TROUBLE

A New Discovery, But Not n Patent

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting &C
count of what he considers a remarkable
case of acute stomach trouble and c ronic
dyspepsia by the use of the new d.scov-
cry, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab cts.
He says The pat t was a man who
had suffered. to my knowledge, for years
with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seem
ed to sour and create gases in the ON
ach. He had pains like rheumatism in the
back, shoulder blades and limbs, flu lness
and distress after eating, poor app tie,
aud loss of flesh; the neart became af-
fected. causing palpitation and sleep ess-
ness a night.
II gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS an
experiment l finally bought a so cent
package of Stuart's Dysp psis Tablets at
a drug store and gave them to him AL
most immediate relief was given, and af
ter he had used four boxes he was to al.
appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he had
gained between 10 and Il pounds in weight

the tragedy leaped up before me in

think. l saw! Prob bly, the suggestion
came from the weapon. 1t was mine.
The deed had been done in my office.
Harbert had entered unarmed upon an
errand that could be constituted as bust
ness. I had every motive for killing
him; he had none for killing me. He
was the winner; the loser. No one would
believe that he had tried to kill me with
my own revolver; no one would credit
the truth about the struggle for the wea.

turbed in mind at the time; but 1 knew
that he was only stunned as soon as
looked at him. Your few words of ex-
planaion made the case quite clear to
me- and a beautiful little scheme came
instantly into my mind. I got you out
of the way, and then I put some strony
ammonia under Mr.. Harbert's nose, and
quickly revived him.
What has happened?' he gasped, sit

wildly.
