CHAPTER XIII.
The Owner of the Fingers.

Straightway Bobby repented tn,
alarm he had, perhaps too impul
sively, given For the hand protrud
ing from the wall was, indeed, flesf
and blood, and with the knowledge
came back his fear for Katherine
conquering his first relief. A SICK
revulsion swept him. He remem,
bered the evidence found in Kath.
crimes room, and her refusal to an
swer questions. Could Paroles and
the officers have been right? Was il
conceivably her hand struggling
weakly in his grasp?
The door from the corridor
crashed open. Rawlins burst
through. Graham ran after him
From the private stairway arose the
sound of the district attorney
hurrying footsteps.
What is it? What have you got?
Rawlins shouted.
Gharam cried out:
You're all right, Bobby"
The candle which the detective
carried cleaned on the slender fin
gers, showing Bobby that they had
been inserted through an opening in
the wall. He couldn't understand,
for time after time each one of the
panels had been sounded and ex-
amined. Beyond, he could see dim
ly the dark clothing of the person
who, with a stealth in itself sug-
gestive of abnormal crime had made
use of such a device. AS Rawlins
hurried up he wondered if it
wouldn't be the better course to
free his prisoner, to cry out, urging
an escape.
Already it was too late. The de-
tective and Graham had seen, and
clearly they had no doubt that he
held the one responsible for two
brutal murders and for the confus-
ing mysteries that had capped them.
Looks like a lady's hand Raw
Inns called. Don't let go, young
fellow"
He unlocked the door to the pri-
vate hallway. Graham and he dashed
odt. In Bobby's uncertain grasp the
hand twitched.
Robinson's voice reached him
through the opening.
LET go, Mr.. Blackburn. You've
done your share, the Lord knows.
You've caught the beast with the
goods"
Bobby released the slender fin
gers. He saw them vanish through
the opening. He left the bed and re-
luctantly approached the door to the
private hall. Excited phrases roared
in his ears. He scarcely dared lis
ten because of their possible con-
hrmation of his doubt. The fingers,
he repeated to himself, had been too
slender. The moment that had
freed him from fear of his own
guilt has constructed in its place
an uncertainty harder to face. Yet
there was nothing to be gained by
waiting. Sooner or later he must
learn whether Katherine had hidden
the evidence, whether she had used
the stout and deadly hatpin,
whether she struggled now in the
grasp of vindictive men.
A voice from the corridor arrest
ed him.
"BobbyW
With a glad cry he swung around
Katherine stood in the opposite
doorway. Her presence there, be-
yond a doubt was her exculpation
He crossed the sombre room. He
grasped her hands. He smiled hap
PLY. After all, the hand he had held
was not as slender as hers.
Thank heavens you're here"
In word he recited the result of
his vigil.
1T clears you" she said. Quick!
We must see who it is"
But he fingered, for he wanted
that ugly fear done with once for
all.

REACH THE THREE MILLION MARK IN SALE OF STAMPS

Hartford, March 13.-The War Sav- ings Campaign has reached it's first S3,000,000 day, as shown by the latest reports of receipts at the treasury de- pertinent received at the office of the Connecticut State Director. Sales of the savings stamps in the past three days have been: $2,295.Oe $2,97O 600, and $s,049, GOO.
 Three millions a day from the thrift starnps provides the Treasury with about one-tenth of the entire amount SOW being expended by the nation for the war. While ss,00O,OOO is only three &ents g. day for every man, woman and child in the country the entire cost of the war is only 30 cents per capita a day.
 The National War Savingc Commit tee, delegated by the Treasury to en- list 100, 1000, 600 investors in the ''baby bonds" anticipates soon reaching the SC, 00o a day rate necessary to place the sa,000, 900 900 issue within a year. This will be six cents a day per cap- ita. The sale of these stamps will finance the governments entire emer- gency shipping program. The current Treasury receipts from their sale are already averaging the cost of building 1a,OO0 tons of shipping a day.

TUSCANIA LOSS Puts
SEAL ON FRIENDSHIP
Great Britain and United States
Brought Closer Together by
Sea Disaster.

London, (by maii) -You remember
now many German-American Eyphens
s9,,'srt down with the Lusitania? The
Tuscania has carried down with your
gailant American dead something
whose loss is just as ominous for the
future Of Germany; it has buried deep
and irrevocably the last vestige of Brit
ish' prejudice against America left over

inland peoples may not realize. the sig
! n1ficance of the tragedy which has sent
your soldiers to join the thousands OF
i British dead under the waves of British
waters.
No other sacrifice could appeal more
directly to their isles. Every day adds
to the $4,000 British noncombatants
murdered by submarines in Germany's
desperate effort to make might pre-
vail over right, no matter what the cost
may be to the reputation of Germany
ICr generations to come. The very
} real reductions Of food to which we
are now submitted have brought home
70 every person In the kingdom the real
it1es OF our island existence, while to
those connected in any way with the
patrol or commerce Of the seas, es-
peclally the labor unions Of seamen. tho
never ending war against the subma-
rlne has long been the crux of the
whole conflict and of our future rela-
lions with Germany and the Germans.
While politicians discuss peace terms
the seAmen who have witnessed the
horror OF deliberate murders at sea,
which have now grown so numerous
as to be worth only para graph in
news value or have heard them related
by those who escaped the assassins,
are becoming ever more firmly resolved
never to have anything to do with
German sailors so long as the mem
DRY Of these evil deeds remains
1t will never be forgotten in Eng

the war on the submarine issue, yet
the British had always a feeling that
because they We're beyond comparison
the chief sufferers from this particular
form of kultur it would be too much to
expect any other people to share the
island sentiment created by the silent
sacrifices of the sea Now they know
this last insularity must give way be-
fore the sacrifices of America; to die
bravely at sea is as much part OF
American character as of British Some
how, until it actually happened, people
did not realize that America would in
evitably be called upon to display this
attribute of her character, although, no.
body expected her to escape paying
the price of her defiance of Germany's
freedom of the seas" Theysrealize it
and you can be assured that they also
realize the moral strain under which
so many thousands of American moth
ers, sweethearts and wives must live
during the long days while their men
are on the water; years Of ceaseless
anxiety have steeled their hearts to
their own troubles. but in these DAYS
when they think of America they think,
too, how it was with them in 1915,
when the horror Of It all was new
and poignant.

At this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, smooth, rudy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood 1t is to be noticed in the
pale or pinply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water a half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DR.. Pierces Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such a
!. fne reputation for fifty years. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. 1t is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
cerine and made into tablets and liquid.
