necessary to go into that. Now, as to
their arrival at the inn The blizzard
had not set In. Last night was dark,
of course, as there is no moon, but it
was clear and rather warm for the
time of year. The couple came here
about nine o'clock in high power rum

register. The state license numbers
had been removed from the automo-
bile, which was of foreign make. OF
course it was only question of time
until we could have found out who
the car belonged to. 1t is perfectly
obvious why he removed the mum
bers."
AT this juncture Drake entered the
room. Mrs. Wrandall did not at first
recognize him.
1T has stopped showing" announced
the newcomer.
| "On, it is Mr. Drake, she murmured.
I'VE have little French car, painted
red" she announced to the sheriff
without giving Drake another thought.
And this one is red. madam" said
the sheriff, with glance at the coro-
ner. Drake nodded his head. Mrs.
Wrandalls body stiffened perceptibly,

Drake.
Then all the more reason why |

with a shiver that no one failed to OBJ
serve.
The sheriff resumed his conclusions
Women of the kind / referred to a
moment ago don't care whether they're
seen or not. In fact, they're rather
brazen about it. But this one was
different She was as far from that
as it was possible for her to be. We
haven't been able to find anyone who
saw her face or who can give the least
i6ea as to what she looks like. except-

her carriage and the outdoor garments
she wore. We have reason to believe
she was young. She was modestly
dressed. Her coat was one of those

sentence, but hurried past him to the
door. throwing it open and bending
her body to the gust that burst in upon
them.
He sprang after her, grasping her
arm to lead her across the icy plat
form to the automobile that stood In
the lee of the building.
Disdaining his command to enter
the tonneau, she stood beside the car
and waited until he cranked it and
took his place at the wheel. Then she
took her seat beside him and permit
ted him to tuck the great buffalo robe
about her. No word was spoken The
man was stranger to her. She for
got his presence in the car.
Into the thick of tho storm the mo-
tor chugged. Grim and silent, the
man at the wheel, ungoggled and
tense, sent the whirring thing swiftly
over the trackless village street and
out upon the open country road. The
woman closed her eyes and waited.
You would know the month was
March. He said. 1T comes in like

lowed the words for she made no re-

They crossed the valley and crept
up the tree-covered hill, where the
force OF the gale was broken. If she
heard him say: Fierce, wasn't it?"
she gave no sign, but sat hunched for
ward, peering ahead through the snow
at the blurred lights that seemed so
far away and yet were close at hand.

orously as he drew up to the long, low
porch. Two men dashed out from the
doorway and clumsily assisted her
from the car.
Go right in, Mrs. Wrandall." said
Drake. Il will join you in a jiffy."
She walked between the two men
into the feebly lighted office of the
inn. The keeper of the place, dreary
looking person with dread in his eyes,
hurried forward. She stopped, stock
still. Some one was brushing the
stubborn, thickly caked snow from her
long chinchilla coat

caught her breath, For the briefast
instant it seemed as though she was
on the point of faltering. She dropned
farther behind the sheriff, her limbs
suddenly stir. her hand going out IL
the wall as if for support. The nert
moment she was moving forward res.
olutely into the icy, dimly lighted
room.
A single electric light cleaned in
the corner beside the bureau. Near
the window stood the bed. She went
swiftly toward it. her eyes fastened
upon the ridge that ran through the
center of 1t; still, white ridge that
seemed without beginning or end.
With nervous fingers the attendant
lifted the sheet at the head of the
bed and. turned it back. As he let il
fall across the chest of the dead man
he drew back and turned his face
away.
She bent forward and then straight
ened her figure to its full height, with
out for an instant removing her gaze
from the face of the man who Law
before her: dark-haired man gray in
death, who must have been beautiful
to look upon in the flush of life.
For a long time she stood there
looking, as motionless as the object on
which she gazed. Behind her were the
tense, keen-eyed men, not one Of
whom seemed to breathe during the
grim minutes that passed. The wind
howled about the corners of the inn.

Her head dropped slightly forward

in an absolutely emotionless voice.

That was ALL The men relaxed. They
looked at each other with a siugle

safe to leave her alone with her dead?
They hesitated

The value of advertising is felt
at three ends-the merchant.
the consumer, and the publisher.
/. Through the medium of his adj
vertisements. the merchants &C
quaints the consumer with the
wares he has for sale. with their
values and their attractive fea-
lures. and is himself constantly
in touch with the consumer.
The consumer reads of the
goods he wants. learns where to
find them and saves the time of
fruitless hunting from place to
place.
The publisher is the 70 be-

cation between the buyer and
seller, sort of public conve-
