The darkest days of husband and wife
are when they come to look forward to
q childless and lonely old age.
Many a wife has found herself inca
pable of motherhood owing to some
arrangement of the feminine system,
often durable by the proper remedies.
In many homes once childless there
are now children because of the fact
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound makes women normal.

scraps of the letter, didn't you see him
slip out OF the room?
Come to think of It," said the coro-
ner, Il believe | did notice him, but

Maybe twas one Of the guests Of the
hotel"
Il think he is, and I'm pretty sure
he's registered in the hotel as Mr..
Cook, too, but Id like to know more
about him"
Let's 20 down and ask Mahlon. IL
there's anybody in his hotel he don't
know about it's something unusual"
We found Mahlon Williams in the
little boxed-off corner behind the no.

gaping at the door of the room where
the suicide had taken place, at least
such OF them as had not adjourned to

were alone in the office.

at my attitude, stared t~houghtfully at
me for a minute and, finally decided to
answer my question as the only hope
of getting me 10 answer his.
He came just the night before you
did-got In on the seven-two train"
His answer settled everything in my
mind. Cook was Crandall. The ar
rival OF Cook in the village conceded
with the departure of Crandall from
New York. The haste in which he
had departed was applicable by the ar
rival of the old oma on that train.
Evidently he wanted for some reason
to arrive In the village at the same
time that she did. What had been

A great time and labor saver, In
keeping brass, copper and other met

is to clean and scour in the usual way,
