claimed that he did not know the ma

intimated that it was in connection
with the robbery of the mail.

Lets go and visit him in prison,

conveyed to the woman the idea that
he was glad that her husband got the
money in the way she told him.
Believed They Were Alone.
The woman, without suspecting
her would-be benefactor and friend,
walked to the cell where her husband
was. Pinkerton had instructed the
prison officials to leave the couple to-
gether, and he ostentatiously re-
manned in the prison Office after the
woman started for the cell, but, in
fact, through a ventilator Pinkerton
was listening to every word of the
conversation.
Both the woman and her husband
believed that they were alone.
"Oh Harry, I told Mr.. Pinkerton
about your finding the notes under
the seat I know you won't be here
long-and-"
"You damn fool!' he cried, with

to the original story he had related.
But while relating the story he had
forgotten one thing. He had re-
moved his gloves, and when the
great detective saw the guards
hands he could have jumped out of
his seat with satisfaction. Schwartz s
hands were badly scratched and
furrowed. On noticing the hands
of the man before him the bits of
human flesh under the dead mans
nails flashed across the great de-
tective's mind.
What happened to. your hands" "
he said as casually as he could when
the guard had finished the story.
If Schwartz felt any excitement
he did not show it. neither did he
appear to have been taken by sur
prise.
"Oh, ] scratched them" Schwartz
replied, three or four nights ago
handling some packages. / did not
know that nails were sticking out"
However, to Pinkerton the
scratched hands told another story.
He kept Schwartz little while long
er, and when Schwartz left the pri-
vate Office of William A. Pinkerton
little did he realize that he was al
ready under suspicion. Neither did
he know that from the moment he
left the American detectives private
office he was being followed and
shadowed by a score of Pinkerton's
operatives. .....
In the next two weeks Pinkerton,
assisted by half a dozen of his op-
eratives, tracked down and inter-
viewed every single person ON board
the Rock Island Express on the
night of the murder. In addition, a
report containing the records CT
every employe on the train was sub
mitted to him by the railroad au-
thorities. Not one of the passen-
gers could be suspected in the slight
est way with the murder. Schwartz
and Watt were the two men who
had carried out the robbery and the
murder.
Pinkerton did not tell anyone that
he suspected Schwartz and Watt.
Neither did he call the fact to the
attention of his most trusted assist
ants. On the contrary, he had inti-
mated to the public that he was still
baffled His intention in doing this
was to bluff the two men into a
sense of false security, as he wanted
to encourage them to begin to spend
the booty as soon as pssible. Then
he wuld have something tangible to
work by.
He sent for Schwartz once more.
Again adopting a confidential atti-
tude, he said, Schwartz, I must con-
fess to you that l am absolutely at

ner, and between them the full story
of the murder came out.
Newton Watt had fired the shot
that wounded Kellogg on the shoul-
der. But as that did not bring down
the plucky mail official, Schwartz
had finished him with the poker.
Mechanically, as he had often
done before, he had replaced the
poker behind the stove, and thus
gave Pinkerton the major clue
which led to the discovery of the
two murderers.
In a large drawer, the dead man
had kept a revolver and a number
of empty cartridge boxes. The
nurderers stuffed their booty in
those empty cartridge boxes and left
them in the drawer, and, strange
enough, it had been overlooked by
the investigators. At a more op-
perfume time, Schwartz and Watt
had removed the booty.
They were tried, found guilty, SEN
fenced to death. and executed.

"That's right, whimper," snarled
Schwartz as the woman began to

to do" sobbed the woman.
leave this place quickly, and go
and warn Watt" instructed
Schwartz. Tell him the devil is
after him, and for Gods sake tell him
to hide the pistol and burn the
notes."
The wretched woman began to cry
out, "Oh, Harry, you did not kill
him. | know you didn't, did your"
Then she began to sob.
"Shut up your mouth and leave
this place. Go and do what | tell
you to do" thundered the man.

run home as soon as you get
out of this place. Get my coat out
of the wood shed behind the stack

the pocket. Burn them, and burn
the coat, and scatter the ashes"
"Oh, Harry?" questioned the
dazed woman.
"You fool. do not ask any more
questions. Do what | tell you to
do" answered Schwartz fiercely.
Burn those things as I asked you
to do and then go and tell Watt
to burn his notes quickly. Now get
out of here quick"
The Third Degree.
Schwartz did not know that Pink
erton reached the wood shed ahead
of the second Mrs. Schwartz. The
detective not only found stuffed in
one Of the pockets large number
of the missing bills, but found that
part of the black lining of the coat
was missing. The missing part ex-
actly fitted to the black mask found
on the railroad tracks.
The next step was to subject both
the murderers to third degree ex-
animation.
AS is always the case when there
are two partners in a crime, when
faced with the evidence of their
guilt, each tried to wiggle out of

come and report to me every day.
/ could send one of my men to him,
but naturally he would not talk to

word to you"
Reports All Lies.
| Schwartz was tickled to death to
think that Pinkerton did not know
where he was at. He believed that
he had really deceived the detective,
and each day he reported Watts al
legged movements.
Schwartz's reports were all lies.
Pinkerton knew it, because both he
himself and several of his most
trusted assistants we're keeping
Schwartz in sight, both day and
night.
| Weeks passed but the great de-
tective got no nearer the truth. Final
ly one day he received report from
the railroad authorities that Schwartz
had applied for leave. Pinkerton
had instructed the railroad authorities
to report to him instantly whenever
one of the employees applied for a
leave. Pinkerton told the railroad
officials to grant Schwartz's request.
On the day following his leave
Schwartz started on his vacation
with his wife, not knowing that Will
liam A. Pinkerton was within a few
feet of them each time in different
disguise.
One day Pinkerton saw Schwarts
change $50 bill and the following
day he changed another. Schwarts
sent some of the money he obtained
in change in registered envelope to
a woman in Philadelphia. Pinker-
ton saw the address on the envelope
and instructed his assistants by
telegraph to look up the woman i'm
mediately to whom the registered
letter was being sent. The next day
the report came back from one OF
his assistants that she was Schwartz's
wife and had several children by him.
1t was this latter fact that made
Pinkerton decide that he could finally
make sure whether Schwartz COM
mitted the murder or not. He had
Schwartz arrested and charged with
bigamy. Then he himself went to
Philadelphia to interview Mrs.
! Schwartz No. 2.
Pinkerton had a long talk with the
woman and he employed his every
artifce to play upon her feelings,

WHEN YOUR BLOOD IS STARVING FOR
IRON no mere tonics nor stimulants can
put you right. You must have iron. To get
iron, you must eat the husks Of grains and
the peels and skins of fruits and vege-
tables as our forefathers did or take little
organic iron from time to time and eat
such iron-containing foods as spinach and
apples. But be sure that the iron you take
is organic iron and not metallic or mineral
iron which people usually take. Metallic
iron 10 iron just as it comes from the ac-
ton Of strong acids on small pieces Of
iron. and Is therefore an entirely different
thing from organic iron. Organic iron is
like the iron in your blood and like the
iron in spinach, lentils and apples. 1t may
be had from your druggist under the name
Of Nuxated Iron. Nuxated Iron represents
organic iron in such highly condensed
form that one dose of it is estimated to
