statement: "Ten years ago, was a

and began taking it. I took 8 bottles,
and was cured.
That has been ten years ago, and
since then I have been in better health
and spirits, than for 20 years.
My oldest daughter was very puny
at the age Of 16. I gave her Cardui,
and she was soon all right, and now
enjoys the best Of health.

Just as she was when she came into
the place. The man gave all the direc-

no attention to what was going on.
The waitress left the room without
seeing her face. She had instructions
not to come for the tray until morn

THAT was the last time the man
was seen alive. No one has seen the
woman since the door closed after

hearing the key turn in the lock as

necessary to 90 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 a high power run

They had no hand baggage and appar-

Rude Shock.

find out that the language they speak
is not looked upon always as genuine
English, either by the naughty Eng
lishman or the natives Of the con-

hardened to it, got the rudest shock
of all last summer.
In a Paris book store window he
saw several little red books.

title of one of them. Another was
called How to Learn Spanish" anoth-

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
tbs 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.
Z Into the thick of the storm the mo-
tor chugged. Grim and silent, the
man at the wheel, ungoggled and
tense, sent the whirring thing swiftly
over the trackless Tillage street and
out upon the open country road. The
woman closed her eyes and waited.

They crossed the valley and crept
up the tree-covered hill, where the
force Of the gale was broken. II 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.
''Is that the inn?" she asked as he
swerved from the road a few moments
later.
"Yes, Mrs. Wrandall. We're here"
'Is-is he in there?"

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. "I 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,

still. Some one was brushing the

caught her breath. For the briefest
instant it seemed as though she was
on the point of faltering. She dropped
farther behind the sheriff, her. limbs
suddenly stiff, her hand going out to
the wall as if for support. The next
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 it: 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 1t
fall across the chest Of the dead man
he drew back and turned his face
away
She bent forward ana then straight
ened her figure to Its full height, with
out for an instant removing her gaze
from the face Of the man who lay
before her: a dark-haired man gray in
death, who must have been beautiful
to look upon in the flush Of life.
For 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,
but no one heard it. They heard the
beating Of their hearts, even the tick,
ing of their watches, but not the wall
Of the wind.
At last her hands, claw-like in their
tenseness, went slowly to her temples.
Her head dropped slightly forward,
and great shudder ran through her
body. The coroner started forward,
expecting her to collapse.
please go away" she was saying
in an absolutely emotionless voice.
LET me stay here alone for a little
while"
That was all. The men relaxed. They
looked at each other with a single
question in their eyes. Was it quite
safe to leave her alone with her dead?
They hesitated.
She turned on them suddenly,
spreading her arms in wide gesture
Of self-absolution. Her somber eyes
swept the group.
"I can do no harm. This man is

She clasped her hands. 81 mean

want to say it close to those gray, hor-

Wondering, the others backed from
the room. She watched them until
they closed the door.
Listening, they heard her lower the
window. 1t squealed like thing in
fear.

the hall conversed in whispers.
