"Well, Miss Linda, you remember
how Puttick advised Mr.. Petersham to
pay or go, and how | told him to stick
it out. and when I'd given him that
advice, l said to you that l was going
across to Senlis lake, and asked Mr..
Quaritch to tell Puttick. | thought
there was a good chance that Puttick

THAT was clever, though you ran a
horrible risk. Was there any particu-

me after l was down give me sur

Some hours later we sat round No

the couch. Puttick had been tied up
and imprisoned in the strongest room.
"No, Mr.. Petersham.' Joe was say

Last night, when Mr.. Petersham
didn't go to Buffers cairn The fellas
who promised to meet him never put

it? OF course it could mean one thing
that some one had told 'em that Mr.
Petersham weren't coming. There was
only us three, and Puttick knew. So
Puttick must "a been the one to tell"
"But, November" / said, "Puttick

HOW TO CURE A
CHRONIC COUGH
Told in the Following Letter
by a Jackson Man Who
Knows from Experience.
His Word Is Good.

Jackson, Miss.-"1 am carpenter,
and the grippe left me not only with a
chronic cough, but / was rundown,
worn out and weak. / took all kinds of
cough syrups but they did me no good.
finally got so weak [ was not able to
do day s work, and coughed so much l
was alarmed about my condition. One
evening read about Vinol and decided
to try it. Before had taken quarter
of bottle ] felt better, and after taking
two bottles my cough is entirely cured,
all the bad symptoms have disappeared
and have gained new vim and energy"
JOHN L. DENNIS, I'll Lynch Street,
jackson, Miss.
The reason Vinol is so successful in
such cases is because the active medic
inal principles of cod liver oil contained
in Vinol rebuilds wasting tissues and
supplies strength andvigor to the nerves
and muscles while the tonic iron and
wine assist the red corpuscles OF the
blood to absorb oxygen and distribute
it through the system, thus restoring
health and strength to the weakened,
diseased organs Of the body.
If Vinol fails to help you, we return
your money.
