A SECRET PASSAGE.

Synopsis. Nelson is oc-
cupying the apartments of his
great-uncle, Rufus CASTOR. The
Gastons, leaving on a trip, tell him
about mysterious noises and "whis-
pers" that have scared them. He
becomes acquainted with Barbara
Bradford, who lives in the same
big building. He instinctively dis
likes and distrusts the superintend-
ent Wick. The mysteries in his
apartments begin with the disap-
pearance of the CASTOR pearls from
the wall safe. He decides not to
call in the police, but to do his own
investigating. 1t is soon evident
that someone has access to his
rooms Becoming friendly with
Barbara, he learns that her apart
ments are equally mysterious. She
tells him that several years before
her sister Claire. who lives with
her, had made a runaway mar
riage with an adventurer, from
whom she was soon parted, and the
marriage had been annulled. Claire
is engaged to be married and some
one has stolen documents concern
ing the affair from the Bradford
apartment and is attempting to
blaekmail the Bradfords. Nelson
takes Miss Kelly, the telephone
girl, to dinner with the idea of
pumping her. German, a hotel de-
tective, recognizes her as the wife
Of Lefty Moore, a noted burglar.
Nelson tells his story to German.

1t was nine-thirty when | reached

we might have chat from our re-

Iords unexpected visit to my apart
lnent the evening before and her con-
fusion when I had captured her. I
wondered If the explanations she had
ofered had been the truth. Was she
really trying to locate the source of
the whispers? l looked interestedly
up at the section of the wall that
mad found her inspecting. What had
she hoped to discover there?
L decided to make a close inspec-
ton OF both sides of the wall. AS
l lighted up the sitting room and hall
for this purpose, something unusual
came TO my notice that had hitherto
escaped me entirely.
THE INNER WALL OF MY ROOM
the one running along the hall of
the apartment-HAD THE APPEAR
ANCE OF BEING AT LEAST FOUR
FEET THICK.
1t seemed so absurd that / refused
to believe the evidence my eyes had
given me. In these modern days of
steel construction there was no reason
for wall being of medieval proper
lions. | sprang to my great-aunt's
work basket and began rummaging to
see If l could find a tape measure,
and luckily my search was quickly re-
warded.
l SketChed rough diagram of the
rear rooms, and began measuring
them off, carefully checking my figures
as l went along. I found myself grow
ing wildly excited as the tape meas
ure confirmed what my eyes already
had told me. The inner wall was at
least four feet thick.
With thrills at the thought of the
possibility of secret passage there, l
climbed up on a chair just as Claire
Bradford had done, and began in
Specting the wall inch by inch. Even

surveyed with growing interest the
wooden paneling that in my room ran
clear up to the ceiling. In the other
rooms there was no paneling. Mount
ing the chair again l pressed sharply
against the wood at the point from
which the sound had seemed to come.
1t seemed to me it gave little to my
touch. I struck one of the sections a
sharp blow. 1t dropped back a full
half-inch, leaving what looked like
doorway space three feet wide by
five feet high. The bottom of the
opening was hardly two feet from the
floor. If there was a passageway
here, this panel certainly would ex-
plain how my rooms had been surrep-
titiously visited.
Feverishly l worked at the panel try
ing to push it further back. If there
was a passageway there in the wall I
was determined to see whittier it led.
NV efforts to move the panel further
seemed hopeless. As worked at it

Taught Chinese Laeemakinu.

The art of lacemaking was first
taught to the Chinese of the ChefoO
district by foreign missionaries about
twenty-five years ago. They believed
that by teaching lacemaking the wom-
en- and girls would find profitable en-
ployment within their own homes, and
the subsequent spread of the indus
try has fully justified their efforts.
Although first taught in Chefoo, Chi
Hsia Hsien was the first district in
which lace was extensively made.

Then You Will Be Able to Treat
It Intelligently.

The medical profession has not
yet fully determined all OF the
causes OF Rheumatism, though they
are pretty we'll agreed on two
points.
The first is, that the disease is
more than a mere local trouble,
that the pangs of pain come from
a source that is far below the sur
face, and therefore itais not rea-
sonable to expect any rational re-
lief from a treatment that is locally
applied and reaches only the sur
face.
When you realize the logic of
this conclusion, you will sec that
you are really wasting your time
and money if you are expecting
any permanent relief from the use
of liniments. lotions, and other To-
cally applied treatment, which car
only reach the surface, and have
no effect whatever upon the origin
of your trouble.
Any disease should be treated a
its source, and especially one tha
causes, as much suffering as Rheu
matism. The only treatment worth
while is one that will show pro
gress toward getting at the source
Of the disease, and freeing thu
victim from its shackles.

cal profession has agreed upon. il

FIND OUT JUST WHAT
CAUSES YOUR RHEUMATISM

are caused by tiny disease germ
in the blood, which multipiics by
the million, and until these germs
are routed from the blood, you can
see how futile local treatment will
be. In fact. you can use linimcnts
by the gallon and never hope to
reach the cause of your trouble.
So many people have found real
permanent relief from their Rheu-
matism by the use of S. S. S. that
its use is justified in practically
every case. Certainly if your Rheu-
matism is due to a germ in the
blood, as so many thousands of
cases are, you should lose no time
in beginning the use of S. S. s.,
because you can rely upon this fine
old blood remedy to do you more
good than any other treatment.
S. S. S. is beneficial in Rhcuma-
tism because it is such a thorough
blood medicine. 1t cleanses the
blood of all impurities, and eradi-
Gates the germs which cause Rheu-
matism. The wonderful results it
has accomplished in other cases
is proof of its great merit. S. S. S.
has been on the market for more
/ than fifty years and is sold by all
druggists.

formation and advice about the
treatment of your own case, for
which no charge is made. Address
