having been murdered. George
Fowler and Marvin Fisher found
the corpse and reported it to the

the fact that the man had been
shot in the back of the head with
a 3S calibre gun, the shell of
which was foune near the corpse.
The mans name or identity is
unknown as there was nothing
on the body to show who he was.
He was about 5 feet 6 inches

Conway didn't do any such foolish thing as start
or show astonishment, whatever he might have felt
Instead he smiled pleasantly. I've been working

That evening Leighton took hand at bridge IN

The deck was deserted. Conway stumbled along
through the dark toward the smoking room. Inside
he saw Leighton still at play. AS he paused at
the open door he heard Leighton voice.

He went to Leighton's state room and after try

apparel and patted and pinched it inch by inch; he
squeezed up necbties, unrolled handkerchlets, eX-
a1nined shirts, and crumpled up silken hosiery.
Then he took the shoes, half dozen pairs He
had been suspicious of shoes since he once found a
dozen diamonds concealed in false heels. But these
heels weren't false.
Next he turned his attention to the hand bag, the

the United States for a few months. "To take the

TWITCHINC NERVES
A Serious Hereditary Trouble Cured
BY Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Sufferers from ailments that have az.
fiicted in regular succession one genera.
ton after another Of their family are, as
a rule, inclined to submit to them as in
evitable. The case which follows proves
that such hereditary difficulties are not
beyond the reach Of curative forces and
should inspire hopefulness and a readi-
ness to try remedies that have effected
signal cures. such as that which is here
given.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rannells, Of 30. 4OS
East Seventh street. Newton, Kansas,
gives the following account Of her all
ment and her cure:
For two years l suffered from TRYING
nervousness in my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years ac-
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when NV
son was realizing benefit from the use Of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, thought there
might possibly be some good in them for
me. My trouble had then become SO
serious rs to make il difficult for me TO
sleep. / often had to walk the floor in
restlessness the whole night. After tax.
ing some six boxes the twitching disap-
peared and ceased to use the remedy.
evidently stopped little too soon for
nervousness came back after month or
so and l used the pills again for short
time. Relief came at once and since l
stopped using them the second time
have been free from any return of the
twitchings or from any interference with
my sleep"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have cured
the worst cases Of bloodlessness, indiges-
ton, influenza, headaches, lumbago, SCI
atica, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal
weakness and the special ailments of girls
md women. For further information,
