When you have taken a few doses, you
will be surprised how differently you
will feel
Croxone cures the worst cases of kid
ney, bladder trouble, and rheumatism,
because 1t removes the cause. Pills,
tablets, and other remedies merely give
temporary relief at the best. CrOxone
cleans out the kidneys and makes them
filter out all the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid that lodges in the
joints and muscles, causing rheumatism:
soothes and heals the bladder, and
quickly effects a permanent, positive
lasting cure.
You will find Croxone different from
all other remedies. There Is nothing else
on earth like 1t. It matters not how
Old you are or how long you have SUI
Yered. 1t is so prepared that II Is prac-
tically impossible to take 1t into the hu-
man system without results.
You can secure an original package of
Croxone from any frst-cIass druggist,
such as ODonnells Drug Store, Ninth

sonally return the purchase price II Ii

But it was obvious that Hunemann

sation with one of the florists, and if
he was not with the florists he was
sure to be found with the servants.
Thus there were eleven people. 8 men
and 3 women, who were his chums.
To eliminate the innocent ones, and
fasten upon the guilty one-if indeed
the guilty one were among them
was the task that lay before Clutter
and myself.
At the end of two weeks work we
were exactly where We had started.
Not one of the eleven people on the
Bauder poolroom had shown a sign
whereby he might suspect their con
neetion with the crime; not one Of
them but seemed heartbroken and
enraged over the fate Of their erst-
while playmate

two weeks.

"But I'm not willing to believe so.

more / am convinced that our quarry

derer is inclined to revisit the scene
Of his crime?"

have been known to do it."
''Then to take no chances Of miss
ing anything, from now on we are
going to keep a watch on the lawn

We've got to play all chances, because

this theory, but he good naturedly
agreed to watch the lawn with me at

"Well," he said, at last, Fl guess

who that guy was who just Inspected

Luck favored us the next morning,
for in the soft walks Of the lawn we
found the imprint Of peculiar,
square-toed shoe. BY night had that
pair Of shoes spotted and they were
on the feet Of a young German, named
Hunemann, employed with me in Bau-
der's flower housesi
It was a shock. Hunemann had been
the little Bauder boys best friend.
Among all the employees he had been
the one to whom the little fellow had
taken the biggest liking and 1t was
with Hunemann that he was most
often to be found And Hunemaan
had grieved constantly over the lite
fellows fate. Was 1t possible-or had
the poor fellow only gone to the
scene Of murder to grieye in silence,
as one might go to a beloved ones
grave?
A few days later it rained.

PUHTzER's HOUR OF EASE

ceremony for which l have chosen it

What took place on these occasions
was this: Mr.. Pulitzer lay down on his
bed, sometimes in pajamas, but more
often with only his coat end his boots
removed, and one of his secretaries,
usually the German secretary, sat
down In an armchair at the bedside
with pile Of books at his elbow. At
word from Mr.. Pulitzer the secre-
tary began to read in a clear, fncisive
voice some historical Suction
ius's Lives" Green's History" Ma
caulay's Essays" some German
play or novel,
After a few minutes Mr.. Pulitzer
would say, SOFTLY" and the secre-
tary's voice was lowered until, though
it was still perfectly audible, it as
sumed a monotolous and soothing
quality. After a while the order came,

er ceased to form his words and COM

duced by a person reading aloud in an
adjoining room, but with the connect

If, after ten minutes of this muir
muring, Mr.. Pulitzer remained mo-
tionless, it was to be assumed that
he was asleep, and the secretary's
duty was to go on murmuring until
Mr.. Pulitzer awcke and told him to
stop or to commence actual reading
again. This marmuring might last for
two hours, AID it was a very difficult
