People of Nome may Know what Is in the Medicine They Take. An Enterprise which Merits the Endorsement and Hearty Support of
 the Public.

to the people of Nome. We will truthfuly tell anybody all about them. explain what they contain. and give our own personal guarantee that they are and will do exactly as we repre- sent, or they will cost the user noth- ing. These medicines are called Rex all Remedies" which means King of All. There is one special remedy for mankind. Therefore no one remedy Is a "cure- -all:" nor are there any ex- travagant claims made for them.
 We earnestly urge you. our neigh bors. friends and acauaintances to use Rexall Remedies on our personal. pos itive guarantee that you pay us noth- ing of for any reason they do not prove entirely satisfactory to you. Now. you must realize that when we make this bold statement. we must be absolutely positive that we can back 1t up to the entire satisfaction of the public. Otherwise. we would lose your friendship and patronage ruin our business and suffer very severe financial loss.
 We make this statement with a full understanding of what It makes to us. and because we are certain we can make 1t good. We know all about the Rexaii ReRmedies. what they contain and their power to do great good for suffering mankind.
 Rexali Orderlies are among the most notable of these excellent remedies. They are for the treatment of consti. patton. They are eaten and taste just like candy. They don't purge. gripe or cause any annoyance whatever. as do many iaxatives. They are ideal for children and old persons as we'll as the robust. Today they are one of tho standards in medicine. our faith in them is so strong that we guarantee satisfaction and return of their price if they fail to please. Three sizes. l0c, 25c and soc package.
 When you purchase Rexall Reme- dies you are buying health insurance. and we do not believe we could sell you anything with a more secure and liberal guarantee.
 When you are in need of medicine. remember this offer and take advan. tage of it. Butler. Mauro & Go. Adv

Health should be more seriously considered and safe-suarded.
 The selection of druggist should be made as cautiously as the choosing of a physician. Too many people neglect to remember that while the physician prescribes the remedy. the druggist is the one who furnishes 1t. If the reemdy Is not exactly as pre- scribed and depended upon. serious if not fatal results are very apt to occur.
 The United States government has partially awakened td the fact. and now compel the publication of certain ingredients on the packages of medi- cines that contain them. That was a stsp in the right direction. but 1t did not reach far enough.
 The public should know and be told about every ingredient of every med icine they take. In our business of selling drugs and medicines. We are compelled to sell what the public de-
 
 we sell contain drugs injurious to the good health of the person using them.
 We have often attempted to over come this evil. but we were almost powerless until we became aGliated with nearly five thousand other lead ing druggists in a cooperative enter prise, known as the United Drug Com pany. Through this large cooperation of druggists. it was possible for ex- perts to travel all over the country in search of prescriptions and remedies of proved value. When they found a remedy that was perfect they puroaas. cd it's prescription. The druggists themselves also contributed preserip- tions that they knew to be good through their having been continually prescribed and successfully used in a very high average of cases.
 In this way scores of different pre- scsiptions were collected. These were then carefully classified; remedieG compoundd from them and thorough iy tested by actual use for considera- ble period under the supervision of a committee of expert chemists and physicians. until a large number of different remedies were selected as be- ing the best for the treatment of cer- tain ailments or disease.
 We gre now able to offer these remedies of known and proved value

been the victim of some mistake, his
lovely and ever kindly disposed
daughter, and while the loss was ire
parable he would never make it unen-
durable by thinking otherwise.
Such was the fathers way of look
ing at the matter, and l own that Il
made our duty a trifie hard. But
Georges mind, when once made up,
was persistent to the point of OBJ
stinacy, and while he was yet talk
ing he led me out of the room and
down the hall to the elevator.
Mr.. Slater knows we have some
thing to say, and will manage the
interview before us in the very best
manner" he confided to me now with
an encouraging air. I'VE are to go
to the blue reception room on the
parlor floor"
Mr.. Slater was there according to
his promise, and after introducing us,
briefly stated that we had some evil
dence to give regarding the terrible
occurrence which had jHst taken place
in the house.
George bowed, and the chief
spokesman am sure he was a po-
llce-officer of some kind-askei him
to tell what 1t was.
Then my husband spoke up, and re-
lated our little experience. If it did
not create a sensation, it was be-
cause these men were we'll accus-
toned to surprises of all kinds.
Washed his hands-a gentleman
out there in the snow-just after the
alarm was raised here?" repeated one.
And you saw him come out of this
house?" another put in.
Yes, sir; we noticed him particu;
larly."
Can you describe him.?
1t was Mr.. Salter who put this ques-
tion; he had less control over him
self, and considerable eagerness
could be heard in his voice
He was a very fine-looking man;
unusually tall and unusually strik-
ing both in his dress and appearance.
What could see of his face was bare
of beard, and very expressive. He
walked with the swing of an athlete,
and only looked mean and small
when he was STOPPING and dabbling
in the snow"

to wake him, but / could not lay

voured its contents,-the exclamation
made on reading it, waking George.
The writing was In Mr.. Slater's
hand, and the words were:

And with this sentence ringing In

to sleep. But 1T was not till very

answers to this description. He comes
here once in a while.
His name"
"Brotherson. A very uncommon per-
son In many respects; quite capable
of such an eccentricity, but incapable,
/ should say, of crime. He's a gifted
talker and so we'll read that he can
hold ones attention for hours. or
his tastes, can only say that they
appear to be mainly scientific. But
he Is not averse to society, and Is
always very well dressed"
Meanwhile, George had advanced to
speak to a man who had beckoned
to him from the other side Of the
room, and with whom in another
moment ! saw him step out. Thus
deserted, sank into a chair near one
of the windows.
Where was he? The man who had
carried him off was the youngest in
the group. What had be wanted of
George? Those who remained showed
no interest In the matter. They had
enough to say among themselves. But
was interested-naturally so, and,
in my uneasiness, glanced resuessly
from the window, the shade OF which
was up. The outlook was n very
peaceful one. This room faced a side
street, ana, as my eyes fell upon the
whitened pavements, L received an
answer to one, and that the most
anxious, of my queries. This was the
street into which we had turned, in
the wake of the handsome stranger
they were trying at this very moment
TO identify with Brotherson. George
had evidently been asked to point out
the exact spot where the man had
stopped. for ! could see from my
vantage point two figures bending
near the curb. and even paving at
the snow which lay there. It gave
me a slight turn when one of them
I do not think 1t was George-began
to rub his hands together in much
the way the unknown gentleman had
done, and, In my excitement, prob
ably uttered some sort OF an ejacula-
tion, for was suddenly conscious OF
a silence in the room, and when I
turned saw all the men about me

They are initiating the man." /
cried; my husband and--and the
person he went out with. It looked
dreadful to me; that is all.''
Meanwhile. Mr.. Slater had ex.

George again and learned the result
of the latest Investigations.
Miss Challoner had been shot, not
stabbed. No other deduction was pos
sible from such facts as were now
known, though the physicians had not
yet handed in their report, or even
intimated what that report would be.
No assailant could have approached
or left her. without attracting the no
tice of some one, If not all Of the
persons seated at table in the same
room She could only have been
reached by - bullet sent from a point
near the head of a small winding
staircase connecting the mezzanine
floor with courtroom adjiSent to the
front door. This has already been in
sisted on, as you will remember, and
if you will glance at the diagram
which George hastily scrawled for
me. you will see why.

When we took our seats at the
breakfasttable, it was with the feel
ing of being no longer looked upon
as connected in any way with this
case. Yet our interest in it was, il
anything, increased, and when l saw
George casting furtive glances at a
certain table behind me, leaned over
and asked him the reason, being sure
that the people whose faces | saw
reflected in the mirror directly before
us had something to do with the
great matter then engrossing us.
His answer conveyed the somewhat
exciting information that the four
persons seated in my rear were the
same four who had been reading at

the time of Miss Challoner's death.
