The same d.,y, young John, eager to
be away from the scene, moved his
belongings to the Paramount hotel, and,
since no will was found in the dead
mans papers, the entire estate came
to him as the next of kin. A day or

family lot beside the fathers grave,
and the night of the funeral young
John Cavendish dined at an out-of-the-

EATONIC Users
DO This-Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, m.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the U. S. who
have tested Eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using 1t for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that 1t stops
Belching, Bloating Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using Eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires a
little time, for Eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out of the body and OF course,
when 1t Is all removed, the sufferer gets
well, feels fine-full of life and pep.
If you have been taking an Eatonic
o and then, be sure and take it regu-
larry for a time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. , Adv.

the floor and scattered into fragments.
Back of the table a small safe EN-
bedded in the wall stood with its door
wide open, its inner drawer %spintered
as with a knife blade and hanging
half out, and below ii a rifle of papers,
many of them apparently legal docu-

But the one object across which the

evidently crushed his skull and though
the face was scared and burned,
though the curtains partial ashes
covered more than a half of it, though
the e~ye-lashes above the sightless eyes
were singed and the trim beard burn
ed to black stubs, the face gave mute
evidence of being that Of Frederick
Cavendish.
The door at the end of the bookcase
opened noiselessly and a man, smooth
faced, his hair brushed low across his
forehead, stepped quietly in. AS his
eyes surveyed the grewsome object by
the table, they dilated with horror;
then his whole body stiffened and he
fled back into the hall, crashing the
door behind him.
Ten minutes later he returned, not
alone, however. This time his COM
panion was John Cavendish but par
italy dressed, his features white and
haggard.
With nervous hands he pushed open
the door. At the sight of the body he
trembled a moment, then, mastering

patched a casual, courteous note to

and D~ougherty, sat In his private office
on the top floor of the Collander build

youths appearance. Since young
Cavendlsh had consulted him before
in minor matters, Mr.. Enright had ex-
pected that he would call voluntarily
soon after the murdet, but in this he
was disappointed. Realizing that
broadway was very dear to the young
man, Enright had made allowances,
until, weary Of waiting, he decided to
get into the game himself and to this
end had dispatched the note to which
Cavendish had replied both by tele-
phone and note.
