And then the shot
The sound seemed to come from

and the startled dancers. gazing in that
direction. saw a tiny wisp OF smoke
uncurl Itself from the rich portieres
and watt gently towards the ceiling
One, more bold than the rest, strode
towards the door and threw aside the
heavy hangings. And the tableau that
was there revealed offered food for
several hundred late supper discus
sions and gave the busy gossips of So
ciety n dainty morsel.

from pair of narrowed eyes: beady.
steady eyes that never wavered from
those OF Horace Stone. attorney. who,
pale as death. stared back at Irwin
from across the table.
AT Stones feet lay shattered de-
canter, the contents of which ran over
the rich rug In tiny rivulets, strongly
suggesting blood TO the excited minds
or the eager spectators. But Stone
was grasping his right hand with his
left. and the trickle of red that oozed
between his fingers told only too plainly
where the bullet had found its mark
oh, Edgar, Edgar. are you dead?"
From the surge of figures at the
door. one fair form detached itself and
hurled Its length across the limp and
sagging body OF Clay on the table.
With trembling hands she raised his
head. and with choking sobs planted a
fearful kiss on his unresponsive lips
Anguish and relief and digust strue-
gled for the mastery OF her features as
she read the answer to her question in
the kiss. Clay was not dead He had

eyes wavered under the steady gaze Of

AN EASY WAY TO END
CATARRH FOREVER
Simple Home Treatment Destroys Germs of
This Dangerous Disease

The reason why so many people who suffer
from eatarrh never seem able to get cured is
that they are continually seeking the momen-
tary relief of sprays douching greasy creams,
ointments, etc Such things do open up the
swollen nostris and clear the head temporari-
ly. besides stopping for a while the disgusting
blowing, hawking, splitting and choking, but
they never cure. To drive out catarrh for
good you have got to get down TO its real
cause Catarsh is a germ disease The air is
always full Of catarrh germs thrown off by
one person and absorbed by another, and when
the system does fail throw off such germs they
find permanent Judgment in the nose throat

hard-rubber inhaler, which the Red Cross Phar-
macy and other leading druggists here in
Barre and vicinity supply with every treat

the germs of catarrh and drives them COM
