expectedly he discovered that Kovoc
was in the house with his wife. He
promptly shot him dead and made his
escape. The police made an effort to
locate the murderer, but were not able
to do SO.

Zachar created a serio-comic scene

husband had been forced to flee for his

Two lone passengers on a runaway

 Mir McDowall caught a severe cold while autouobiling, and it brought on a settled cough that hung on until it completely wore him out. It harassed him day and night. Remedy after remedy was tried without result until he was prevailed upon to give Linonine a chance. ,
 From that day." says MT Nc Dowall, T began to mend, the cough lessened in harshness, the periods between attacks lengthen- ed, and the pains in my chest eas- ed.
