o NAN of o MUSIC MOUNTAIN Byffdnk il. Spedrmdn
 Author of Whispering Smifh
CHAPTER xxnI. ocontInued.o

Nan was not to be seen. Gale, biz and aggressive. was doing most of the talking, and energetically, as was his habit Duke listened thoughtfully. but seemingly with coldness. Druel looked from Gale to Duke, and ap- peared occasionally to put In word to carry the argument along.
 De Spain suspected nothing of what they were talking about, but he was uneasy concerning Nan, and was not to be baked, by any combination. of his purpose of finding her. To secure information concerning her was not possible, unless he should enter the house, and this, with scant hesitation, he decided to do.
 He wore a snug-fitting leathern coat. He unbuttoned this and threw it open as he stepped noiselessly up to the door. Laying his hand on the knob, he paused, then, finding the door unlocked, he pushed it slowly open.
 The wind, rushed in, upset his cal culations and blew open the door lead ing from the hall into the living room. A stream of light in turn shot through the open door, across the hall. In stantly De Spain stepped inside and directly behind the front door-which he now realized he dare not close and stood expectant in the darkness. Gale Morgan, with an impatient ex- clamation, strode from the fireplace to close the front door.
 As he walked into the hall and slammed the front door shut, he could have touched with his hand the man standing in the shadow behind 1t. De Spain, not hoping to escape, stood with folded arms, but under the el- bow of his left arm was hidden the long muzzle of his revolver. Holding his breath, he waited. Gales mind was apparently filled with other things. He did not suspect the pres ence of an intruder, and he walked back into the living room, partly clos ing the second door. De Spain, fol- lowing almost on his heels, stepped past this door, past the hall stairs op- posite 1t. and through a curtained opening at the end of the hall into the dining room. Barely ten feet from him, this room opened through an

room "Nan," came her uncle's voice, hoarse with feeling. you're saying g0odby to me forever"
 "No. uncle" she cried. T am only doing what have to do."
 T tell you don't want to drive you from this roof, girl"
 A rush of wind from an opening door was the only answer from the dark dining room. The two Morgans started forward together. The sudden gust sucked the flame of the living-room lamp up into the chimney and after a brief. sharp struggle extinguished it. In the confusion 1t was moment be- fore match could be found. When the lamp was reIighted, the Morgans ran into the dining room. The wind and rain poured in through the open north door. But the room was empty.
 Duke turned on his nephew with a choking curse. 'sThis," he cried, besias himself with fury, ''is your work !"

 Who's thereT demanded Duke grufiy.
 Nobody" said Gale. "Go on, Druel."
 Druei talked softly and through his nose: q was only going to say 1t would be a good idea to have two wit nesses."
 ''Nita," suggested Gale.
 Duke was profane. You couldn't keep the girl in the room ii sine had Eita to help her. And want it un- derstood, Gale. between you and me, fair and square, that Nan's goin to live right here with me after this mar riage till I'm satisfied she's willing to go to you--otherwise 1t can't take place. now or never"
 De Spain opened his ears. Gale felt the hard. cold tone of his crusty relative. and answered with like harshness: 'What do you keep harp ing on that for? You've got my word. All want of you is to keep yours understandf'
 Come, come" interposed Druel.
 There's no need of hard words. But we need two witnesses. Who's going to be the other witnessT
 Before anyone could answer De Spain stepped out Into the open arch way before the three men. 'Tll act as the second witness" he said.
 With common roar the Morgans bounded to their feet De Spain, standing slightly sidewise, his coat lapels Tapped wide open. his arms akimb0, and his hands on his hips. faced the three in an attitude of read fness only. He had reckoned on the instant of indecislon which at times, when coupled with apprehension, par alyxes the will of two men acting to- gether. Under the circumstances ei- ther of the Morgans alone would have whipped gun on De Spain at sight. Together. and knowing that to do so meant death to the one that took the first shot from the arcEway, each wait cd for the other; that fraction of second unsettled their purpose. ln- stead of bullets. each launched curses at the intruder, and every second that passed led away from fight.

Prominent Georgia Physician Con- tinues Co Use Tanlac in His Daily Practice With Surprising
 Results.

One of the strongest and most con- vincing evidences of the remarkable results being accomplished by Tan lac throughout the South is the large number of letters that are now being received daily from scores of well known men and women who have been benefited by it's use.
 Among the large number that have been received recently, none are more interesting than the following letter from Dr. J. T. Edwards of Fayttteville, Ga. Dr. Edwards, it will be remembered, recently gave Tanlac his unqualified endorsement in public statement and the testi- monial published below was recently given him by one of his patients. His letter follows, just as it was written:
 Fayetteville, Ga, Mir. G F Willis, Atlanta, Ga.
 Dear Sir: | am enclosing you herewith statement l have just re- ceived from Mr T. NJ. McGough. He has sold out here and is moving to Turin, Ga. He was here this morn ing and came in to tell me what Tanlac had done for him. He says too much cannot be said about Tan lac. It certainly has cured him.
 Respectfully,
 j. T. EDWARDS, NJ. D.
 MT. McGough's statement follows
 T suffered from indigestion and could not eat anything but what would hurt me. Constipation gave me great deal of trouble also. My symptoms were indigestion, heart- burn and gas on the stomach after eating. My appetite was irregular and my food failed to nourish me. This trouble caused me to get very poor-in fact, got so thin and weak that was hardly able to go about.
 T bought three bottles of Tanlac on Dr. Edwards recommendation and l am now feeling all right again, and am able to attend to business. gained seventeen pounds in weight and am doing fine. Tanlac did the work.
 "I now recommend Tanlac to ev- eryone who is sick like I was, and wishes to take something that will help them"

When the codcil was offered for pro
bate n few weeks ago, no formal onpo-
slton developed. although attorneys for
the heirs named IN Mrs. Biugham's will
were present and questioned witnesses
to her physical and mental state. A
leading question referred to the proh
ability Of Mrs. Bingham being under
the luuucucc Of drugs at the time she
signed the codicil Answers we're in
the negative.
Rumors later reached Louisville that
efforts probably would be made at vii
minCton 10 eNhume Mrs. Bingham
body and have an autopsy performed.
The real purpose apparently WAS not
disclosed, and i'm the absence OF any
decided move In that direction thew
were little needed
To-day, however, Judge Bingham
attorneys decided TO take cognizance Of
the situation and issued statement
expressing surprise that disinterment
was contemplated
Judge Bingham, who had been out Of
the city, returned late to-day. He re-
torred all inquiries to his counsel.

was reported to the police carly to-day
\ detective was sent to the scene and
reported that the Office had been en-
tered the doctors desk rhed. and. al
though every drawer and compartment
had been entered, nothing was missing
but narcotic records. Later the matter
was reported 20 the Internal Revenue
Department.
Helm Bruce, counsel for the other
Bingham heirs, still insisted to-day
that he knew nothing of the exhuma-
tion proceedings, and stated that there
was no intention on his part TO send
any one to Wilmington.
