The scientist went out, and Hatch devoted his
attention to his sullen prisoner. He asked half
dozen questions, and receiving answers he gave
it up as hopeless. After awhile Detective Mallory
appeared in his usual state of restrained astonish-
1nent and the crystal gazer was led away.
Then Hatch and The Thinking Machine went to
Adhem Sngh's house. The police had preceded
them the girl Jadeh. They obtained an entrance
through the courtesy of policeman left in charge
and sought out the crystal cabinet. Together they
bowed over the glittering globe Hatch held
electric aash-light.

conclusion we could reach that it would happen
in that week.

he stopped before his visitor. It's perfectly

The Thinking Machine was again silent for time.

Il don't know what will happen; but it will be in

With quizzically grim expression about his thin
lips, The Thinking Machine went to the telephone
in an adjoining room and called some one Varick

Who is he?" asked Varick. There was no reply.
The check was drawn and handed without
further comment.

pulled up in front of the house. Hutchinson Hatch,

it away in pocket.
Now, Mr.. Varick, the keys to your apartments
please, asked the scientist.
They were handed over and he placed them on
table near him. Then he turned back to Varick.
From this time on, he said, your name is John

letter, a postal, telegram package to any
checks; you are not to speak to or recognize any
one; you not to telephone attempt in any

For moment Varick wavered. He felt that he

finally agreed.

That ought to be a good picture said The

The smoke cleared, and he saw Adhem Singh
standing watching with deep concern a revolver in
the hand of Hatch, who had suddenly risen from
the desk in Varck's room. The Thinking Machine
rubbed his hands briskly

Are You Tired, Nervous
and SleeDless !?

Nervousness and sleeplessness are us
ualiy due to the fact that the nerves are
not led on properly nourishing blood;
they are starred nerves. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes pare,
rich blood, and thereby the nerves are
properly nourished and all the organs of
the body are run as smoothly as machin-
cry which runs in OIL In this way you
feel clean, strong and strenuous-you are
toned up and invigorated, and you are
good for a whole lot of physical or mental
work Best of all, the strength and in
crease in vitality and health are lasting.
The trouble with most tonics and med
icines which have a large, booming sale
for a short time, is that they are largely
composed OF alcohol holding the drugs in
solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red
blood, corpuscles, and in the long run
exhilarated and better for the time being,
yet in the end weakened and with vitality
decreased. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol Every
bottle of it bears upon its wrapper The
Badge of Honesty, in q full list of all it's

offer you something he claims is sjust as
good " is to insult your intelligence.
Every ingredient entering into the

has the unanimous approval and endorse
ment of the leading medical authorities
OF all the several schools OF practice. No
