Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period, Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake Of other suffer-
ing women l am willing to make my
trouble public SO you may publish
this letter. "-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY,
R.F. D., Graniteyille, Vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such q record
of cures Of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors. irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, Indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change OF life.
1T costs but little to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclaysays it is worth noun
tains of gold " to suffering women.

Hotchkiss felt certain that it had been

He had his finger on his lips, and he whis-

my distorted boots.
II think we have him." he said trium-
phantly. I've been looking around some,
and l can tell you this much. Just before
We came in through the window last night,
another man came. Only-he did not drop,
as you did. He swung over to the stair
railing, and then down. The rail is
scratched. He was long enough ahead OF
us to go into the dining room and get a
decanter out Of the sdeboard. He poured
out the liquor into d glass, left the de-
library across the hall. Then-he broke
into a desk, using a paper knife for a

As matter OF fact he didn't relish night

Hotchkss, however, was certain lie
had found the room and listened outside
the door to the sleeper's heavy breathing,
and so we climbed past luxurious suites,
revealed in the deepening daylight, past
long vistas of hall and boudoir. And We
were both badly winded when we got there.
1t was a tower room. reached by narrow
stairs, and we'll above the roof level.
Hotchkss was glowing.
1T was partly good luck, but not ALL"
he painted in a whisper, IF we had per-
sisted in the search last night, ne would
have taken alarm and fled. Now-we

He gave mighty rap at the door with
the fire tongs and stood eXpectant Ger
tainly he was right; some one moved
within.

You might as we'll come out. We won't
hurt you, if youll come peaceably"

prompted, That's the customary thing,
you know"
But at that moment a bullet came
squarely through the door and flattened it,
self with sharp psf against the wall of
the tower staircase. We ducked unani-
mously, dropped back out OF range, and
Hotchkiss retaliated with a spirited bang
at the door with the tongs, This brought
another bullet, 1t was ridiculous situa-
ton. Under the circumstances, no doubt,
we should have retired, at least until we
had armed ourselves, but Hotchkss had
no end of fighting spirit, and as for me,
my blood was up
Break the lock-" / suggested, and
Hotchkiss, standing at the side, out OF
range retaliated tor every bullet by a
smashing blow with the tongs. The shots
ceased after half a dozen. and the door
was giving, slowly. One of us on each side
of the door, we were ready for almost any
kind OF desperate resistance. AZ II Swung

blow.
Nothing happened.

tured moving a little nearer 10 the circle
Of light. gust of wind came in just
then, and the flame turned over on its
side and threatened demise There was
something almost ridiculous in the haste
with which We put down the window and
nursed the flicker to life.
The peculiarly ghost-like appearance OF
the room added to the uncanniness of the
situation. The furniture was swathed In
white covers for the winter; even the pic
lures wore shrouds And in a niche be-
tween two windows a bust on a pedestal
similarly wrapped, one arm extended under
its winding sheet, made a most lifelikc
ghost, II any ghost can be lifclike.
In the light of the candle we surveyed
each other, and we were objects for mirth
Hotchkiss was taking off his sodden shoes
and preparing TO make himself comforta-

presented a rakish but distinctly more
comfortable appearance.

Hotchkiss remarked that It was much

The candle light did not penetrate beyond
the dim outlines OF the gallery rail- but

pictures
Hotchkiss had discovered a fire laid IN
