Rupert. Can't you postpone your trip?"
Hall shook his head. impossible"
he answered grufdy.
He followed her into the dining room,
where the two partook Of silent din
per. There was ring at the bell be-
fore they had finished, and the butler
announced "Mr. Thompson" A mo-
t1ent later the district attorney, a dark,
handsome man of middle age, followed
the servant, shook Halls hand and
bowed over that of Mrs. Hall. The
master Of the house watched the two
sullenly as he thought Of the contents
Of the anonymous note.
"Sorry to have to leave you two" he
jerked out suddenly. "And it is mighty
good of you, Thompson, to consent to
act as my wife's escort this evening
while am gone" He kissed his wife
lightly, nodded to the district attorney
and swung out Of the house. Hardly
had the door closed behind him when
Mrs. Hall threw herself into the arms
of Justin Thompson.
"Must we go to the theater, JUSTINE"
she asked.
The man stroked her hair. mot If
you don't wish it, darling. We can
have quiet evening here" The two
wandered into the library.
Two hours elapsed. The great house
had settled down to a shadowy silence.
Mrs. Hall and Justin Thompson had
drawn their chairs close to an open
fireplace. The servants had retired to
an upper floor. and the couple were
apparently absolutely alone. Sudden
ly Thompson leaned forward, listening
intently. Then, with motion to the
woman at his side, he rose softly and
peered through the draperies into the
other room. Before the private safe of
Hall masked man was crouching.
Thompson's self control was remark
able. He grasped a heavy cane in the
corner Three swift, catlike steps and
the next second the cane descended
with brutal force, and the figure of the
intruder crumpled on to the floor, the
mask slipping from the features. AL
though Thompson did not recognize the
features, they were those of Bruce
Larnigan! Besides, the district attor-
! ney was given no time for speculation.
At almost the same instant as his blow
Mrs. Hall pulled aside the draperies.
With scream at the sight which met
her startled eyes, she sprang into the
room just as the hall door was jerked
open and another actor appeared as
part of the strange drama. 1t was
her husband.
II thought SOL snapped Rupert Hall
And then without word his hand
flashed back to his pocket and he was
covering Thompson with revolver
Swiftly the district attorney bounded
forward, his hand gripping Halls arm
just in time to defect the course of a
bullet. For moment the two mer
struggled. and then there was sec

ond report, and Hall sank to the floor
without word. Thompson stopped
swiftly over him. Hall was dead.
What shall we do? What shall we
do?" moaned Mrs. Hall. dropping limp
into a chair. Justin, you have killed
him'
1T was his life or mine" said
Thompson curtly He glanced swiftly
about him. No one realized better
than he the disastrous results if the
true facts of the tragedy should be ex-
posed. Without further ceremony he
stopped down, altered the position Of
Halls body and then bent over the I'M
conscious figure of Bruce Larnigan.
When he Strengthened the smoking re-
volver which had done Hall to death
was clinched in Larnigans fingers.
Thompson glanced down with
mocking smile about his thin lips.
"You go up to your ROOM" he direct
ed the sobbing woman at his side. 'Tn
a few minutes you are to rush DOWN
stairs, discover the tragedy and notify
the police. They will think that Hall
was shot by a burglar"

He caught the woman in his arms,
saw her stagger toward the stairway
and then, turning off the light. made
his way to the front door and out into
the street.
When the police arrived Bruce Larni-
gan was still insensible, but beginning
to struggle slowly and incoherently
back to consciousness. 1t was plain
to the authorities that he had been
dealt violent blow. But at whose
hands? If he had shot Hall before
he himself had been attacked there
must have been more than two persons
present at the time. Mrs. Hall was
hysterical and in me hands of a ply
sician and trained nurse. She could
supply no information. and the fright
ened servants could tell even less.
When the coroner arrived policeman
took possession of Bruce Larnigan,
who was still dazed, and the young
man was hurried to police hospital.

What Is Uric Acid I
THE CAUSE OF BACKAcHE.
RHEUMATISM, GRAVEL
AND SUDDEN DEATH.

Ever since the discovery of uric acid
in the blood by Scheele, in 1775, and
the bad effect it had upon the body,
scientists and physicians have striven
to rid the tissues and the blood of
this poison. Because of it's over
abundance in the system it causes
backache, pains here and there, rheu-
matlsm, govt, gravel, neuralgia and
sciatica. 1t was DIR. Pierce who dis
covered new agent, called vAnuric,'
which will throw out and completely
eradicate this uric acid from the sys-
tenn. 0Anuric" has proved to be 81
times more potent than lstlia, and
consequently you need no longer fear
muscular or articular rheumatism or
govt, or many other diseases which are
dependent on an accumulation of uric
acid within the body. Send to DIR.
Pierce, -of the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, for a.
pamphlet on " Anuric," or send 10 cents

Ii you feel that tired, worn out
feeling, backache, neuralgia, or if your
sleep is disturbed by too frequent urina-
ton, go to your best drug store and
ask for Doctor Pierce's vAnuricn

beyond the bare outlines of events as
given by the police, and so the case
dragged on until the day arrived for
the trial.
The case was placed in the hands of
District Attorney Thompson for the
state. He said he was certain OF
quick verdict and one which would es-
tablish beyond doubt that Hail had
met his death at the hands of Bruce
Larnigan While the latter was trying
to burglarize the house.
Friends of Bruce kept strangely and
persistently silent. However. had the
movements of Jack Stevens been chron-
icled in the public press there is no
doubt as to the interest which they'd
arouse from the man in the street.
Don't worry, old pal" Stevens had
said on visit to the cell as Bruce
glanced up YEARLY. Wen have you

A crowd packed the courtroom when
the trial opened.
The witnesses for the state were call
ed in quick, steady succession and
gave the conventional evidence as TO
the finding of the body. the discovery
of the crime and such other details.

berry at House on Rice Avenue
on Monday Afternoon.


The police had a wild goose chase
on Monday afternoon when a report
was received that the home of John
Zukowski, 264 Rice avenue, had been
entered by burglars. It was declared
that the loot of the burglars consist
ed of three suits of clothing and a bank
book of considerable value. Police
Officer Emil Clausen went out to make
an investigation. He found that the
closet in the house had been stripped
and near the door he found a blood
stained handkerchief. 1t looked like
a real case and Clausen got busy right
away. The room where the burglary
was supposed to have taken place was
occupied by Frank Zukowski. He was
employed at the Jeffrey plant. After
searching In several other places Clau-
sen went out to the factory He
found that Frank Zukowski had met
