CHAPTER XIII.
Faded Roses.

] was in the house for a week.
Much of that time I spent in compos-
ing and destroying letters of thanks
to Miss West, and in growing at the
doctor. Mcknight dropped in daily,
but he was less cheerful than usual
Now and then l caught him cycling me
as If he had something to say, but
whatever it was he kept it to himself
Once during the week he went to
Baltimore and saw the woman in the
hospital there. From the description
had little difficulty in recognizing
the young woman who had been with
the murdered man in Pittsburg But
she was still unconscious. An elderly
aunt had appeared, a gaunt person in
black, who sat around like a buzzard
on a fence, according to Mcknight,
and wept, in a mixed figure, into
damp handkerchief.
On the last day of my imprisonment
he stopped in to thrash out a case
that was coming up in court the next
day, and to play game of double soli-
taire with me.
Who won the ball game?" I asked.
I'VE were licked. Ask me some
thing pleasant. Oh, by the way, Bron-
sons out today"
I'm glad I'm not on his bond"
said pessimistically. He'll clear out"
mot he" Mcknight bounced on my
ace. He's no fool Don't you suppose
he knows you took those notes to
Pittsburg? The papers were full of
it. And he knows you escaped with
your life and broken arm from the
wreck What do we do next? The
commonwealth continues the case.
A deaf man on dark night would
know those notes were missing"
Don't play so FAST" demonstrated.
II have only one arm to your two.
Who is trailing Bronson? Did you
try to get Johnson"
II asked for him, but he had some
work on hand"
"The murders evidently dead is
sue," l reflected mo, I'm not jok-
ing. The wreck destroyed all the evil
dence. But I'm firmly convinced those
notes will be offered, either to us or
to Bronson very soon. Johnson's

MIX THIS FOR RHEUMATISM
Easily Prepared and inexpensive and
Really Does the Work, Says
Noted Authority.

Thousands of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture OF that
dread disease, Rheumatism, which Is
no respecter of age, persons, SEX
color or rank, will be interested to
know that it Is one Of the easiest al
flictions of the human body to con-
ouer. Medical science has proven 1t
not q distinct disease in itself, but
symptom caused by inactive kidneys.
Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood
and other waste products OF the sys-
tenn which should be filtered and
strained out in the form of urine. The
function Of the kidneys is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys
however. are of sponge-like substance,
the holes or pores Of which will some
times, either from overwork, cold or
exposure become clogged, and failing
in their function of eliminating these
poisons from the blood, they remain
in the veins, decompose and settling
about the joints and muscles, cause
the untold suffering and pain Of rheu-
matism and backache, often producing
complications Of bladder and urinary
disease, and general weakness.
The following simple prescription is
said to relieve the worst cases or
rheumatism because of its direct ac-
ton upon the blood and kidneys, re-
lieving, too, the most severe forms OF
bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce: Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well In a bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. The in
gradients can be had from any pre-
scription pharmacy, and are absolutely
harmless and safe to use at any time.

BLACKBOARD, but he's a good detective
He could make his. fortune as a game
dog. What's he doing?"
Mcknight put down his cards, and
rising, went to the window. AS he
held the curtain back his customary
grin looked little forced.
ITO tell you the truth, Lollie," he
said. ''for the last two days he has
been watching a well-known Washing
ing attorney named Lawrence Blake
ley. He's across the street now"
1t took a moment for me to grasp
what he meant.

What would they trail me for? Go
over and tell Johnson to get out OF
there. or I'll pot at him with my re-
volver"
"You can tell him that yourself"
Mcknight paused and bent forward.

We listened together to Mrs. Klop'

Here was the one survivor of the

His manner was restrained, but it
was evident he was highly excited.
