CHAPTER XIV.
The Man at the Bridge.

It's strange thing that the nrst
definite clue we had TO 10 after the
slipper and the torn piece OF her
dressing gown, came from Charlie
Aver There had been no demand for
ransom on the following morning and
we were In despair. Mr.. Partridge
arrived. but he could only bring me
consolation. A rumor that some
strange men had been seen at the
railroad station came to naught. and
finally Charlie had taken the rum
about and gone away. no one knew
where and had not bothered. He came
back late that afternoon, grimy. with
two men in the car. one milk man,
the other a stable boy. and held up
to the shocked gaze OF everybody
present JOS other slipper.
While the detectives John had had
sent down from town. and the local
police, were following up clues that
led nowhere. Charlie had stumbled
upon one that seemed to be good,
through pure unadultered chance. and
a pu1cture He had started to town.

When Charlie finally threw the

was drinking the milk. the milkman

/ effect that Miss Goldman was still
missing. He asked a perfectly Silly
question. with startling results:

A greenback changed hands. and
the result was that the milkman
agreed to take Charlie to the stable
and introduce him to Bill.
Bilrs story was that he had driven
a couple who had missed the last train
up, to a stable that boasted an auto.

toward home. It was late then, or

inflamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is inflamed you have a rum

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma.

restored to its normal condition, hear
