there was none kept in this town, but
my husband ordered some from a Chi
cago traveller.
Il had been greatly afflicted with
sudden attacks of cramps, nausea,
and vomiting. Tried all sorts of
remedies and physicians, but obtained
only temporary relief. AS soon as I
began to use the new food the cramps
disappeared and have never returned.
My old attacks of sick stomach
were a little slower to yield, but by
continuing the food that trouble has
disappeared entirely. l am today per

My husband was so delighted with
the benefits | received that he has
been recommending Grape-Nuts TO his
customers and has built up a very
large trade on the food. He sells them
by the case to many of the leading
physicians of the county, who recon-

CHAPTER VI.
In the East Corridor.


When the detective left he enjoined
absolute secrecy on everybody in the
household. The Greenwood club
promised the same thing, and as there
are no Sunday afternoon papers, the
murder was not publicly known until
Monday. The coroner himself notified
the Armstrong family lawyer, ana
early in the afternoon he came out.

morning. but knew he had been in
terrogating the servants. Gertrude
was locked in her room with a head
ache, and l had luncheon alone.
Mt Harton. the lawyer, was a little,
thin man. and he looked as if he did
not relish his business that day.

To Make Table Cloths LAST.

Table linen is expensive 1t costs
more today than Il did FIVE years ago.
When it begins to wear in holes, to
come from the wash with worn spots
that tell how soon it will be no good,
no wonder the housewife despairs.
Cheap, common soaps full of caustics
that eat the linen are greatly to blame
Easy Task laundry soap is an enemy
to dirt and stains and friend to the
table linen. Get two five cent cakes;
try it, and if it does not surprise and
satisfy you the makers will return
your money.

Honored BY the Gouernor-

Elusive compliments have been
paid to Governor Marshall many
times, but it remained for an old Irish
woman to cap the climax.
The governor met her at a funeral
which he attended the other day and
she was full Of reverence for the Indi-
ana executive.

he admitted but why should Arnold
Armstrong carry that around, unless
it meant something? He never built

scOrnfully. Haven't you thumb

Il have" he said with a smile, and
the print of foot in tulip bed, and
number of other things. The odd
est part is, Miss lines, that the
thumb-mark is probably yours and the
footprint certainly"
His audacity was the only thing
that saved me; his amused smile put
me on my mettle, and l ripped out a
perfectly good scallop before | an
sWered.
Why did I step into the tulip bed?"
l asked with interest.
You picked up something" he said
good-humoredly, which you are go

of yours, l wish you would tell me
where | shall find my fourthousand-

Il was just coming to that" he
said. You will find it about 80 miles
away, at Andrews Station. in a black
smith shop, where it is being re-

We looked steadily at each other; it
was not an unfriendly stare; we were
only measuring weapons. Then he
smiled little and got up.
With your permission" he said, Il
am going to examine the card room
and the staircase again. You might

hurried together up the stairs. Some
one was lurking on the staircase
when l went back. l spoke; instead
of an answer, whoever it was turned

but as l turned the corner at the
top a figure darted through this door
and closed it. The bolt was on my

and felt that this dried-up little man
was the repository of much that he
had not told me. l gave up trying to
elicit any information from him. and
We went together to view the body
before it was taken to the city. 1t
had been lifted on to the billiard-ta-
bic and sheet thrown over it; 9th
erwise nothing had been touched. A
soft hat lay beside it, and the collar
OF the dinner-coat was still turned up.
The handsome, dissipated face of Ar
mold Armstrong. purged of its ugly
lines, was now only pathetic. AS we
went in Mrs. Watson appeared at the
card-room door.
Come in, Mrs Watson" the lawyer
said But she shook her head and
withdrew; she was the only one in
the house who seemed to regret the
dead man, and even she seemed rath-
er shocked than sorry.
Before Mr.. Harton left, he told me
something of the Armstrong family.
Paul Armstrong, the father, had been
married twice. Arnold was a son by
the first marriage. The second Mrs.
Armstrong had been a widow, with
a child, a little girl This child. now
perhaps 90, was Louise Armstrong,
having taken her stepfather's name,
and was at present in California with
the family.

he concluded, and part OF my errand

quish your lease here in their favor"

unlikely, and my town house is being

MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE.
Death Sentence Pronounced on

Death sentence WAS passed upon
Philip N Ashby, the self-confesspd
murdererof his wife, by Judge DO
sepL Il, Jones Thursday afternoon.
Readers of The Chronicle are ia
miliar with the account of the burn
ing OF Ashby's home in August and
his confession later that he had MUIR
dered his wife.
A special term Of court was called
this week to try the case, and from
the opening Of court Monday until
the case was given to the jury We'd
nesday evening great interest WAS
manifested in the proceedings. A
resume Of the testimony is too
lengthy for our space. The shock
ing manner of Mrs. Ashby's death,
aud the confession of Ashby when
he fled from the community, be-
cause he feared violence at the
hands of his neighbors, are still
fresh in memory, and little sympa-
thy is felt for him.
The jury returned verdict of
murder in the first d-gree. After
a poll of the jury, Judge Jones had
Ashby to stand up and told him that
he would be hung by the warden of
the State prison until dead on Jan
nary Is, 1911.

notice that the case will be taken
