TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

Several officials of the C. & S. were
in the city the first of the week look
ing over the conditions here. While
nothing was given out, yet it is be-
lieved their visit here was for the
purpose of looking into the proposi-
tion of opening the line between Gun
nison and Romley and Buena Vista
and Como. While here the superin-
tendert was ve.y anxious to go to Al
o'ne tunnel, but the deep snow at
his time prevented Or the main
object was the feasibility of looking
into the matter of building a branch
road from Quartz station into the
Teylor park region, a distance of
about Is miles. A road bed could be
made the entire distance without cut
ling through hill or filling up deep
gaps. In the TAYLOR park region
there are number of silver-lead
mines fully developed, but no outlet
xcept by railroad for daily ship
ments.
The fat that the present line be-
tween Buena Vista and Romley is rot
paying, and has not paid for several
years, and the fact the Interstate
Commerce Commission will not allow
them to sbandon the road, lends color
TO the rumor that the company may
open tie entire road again to get it
m paying bas's.-Chaffee County

and the other escape"
Perhaps that is the most easily
eXplainable Of an he observed, and
with a few perfunctory remarks h
left them, his brain on fire with a
fresh inspiration born Of the chance
use Of a single word.
Gassed! One girl had been killed
by the inhalation Of noxious gas, and
the other, sleeping near, had gone
unscathed-and there had been a
gas mask in the house,
Barry entered the house by the
back door and stole upstairs.
The dimness of the room at first
made everything indistinguishable to
his eyes, but gradually he saw the
mantel with the gas mask upon it.
Approaching, he picked ur the case
containing the mask, carefully to
preserve any possible finger prints,
and as he opened it faint but UNI
mistakable odor assailed his nostrils,
the odor of carbon monoxide gas!

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants For Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
eeSsful in overcoming these condi-
tions. The mild and. healing infiu-
ence of Dr. kilmcr's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest
for its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one OF
the most prominent Life Insurance
Companies, in an interview of the
subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why SO many
plications are declined do not even sus
ed is because kidney trouble is 50
common to the American people, and
the large majority of those whose APP
plications are declined do even sus-
pect that they have the disease Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is On sale at all
dug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.

that | had an uncanny feeling that

Before the captain could reply
Barry strobe boldly around the cor
ner, pausing in confusion that
would have done credit to an actor.
Captain, this is the young police
officer from town, of whom | spoke
Sergeant Barry, Captain Warren"
The captain bowed stiffly.
Captain Warren | suppose you are
familiar with the details of the
crime?"
Miss Tudor has told me all she
knows the captain responded
thoughtfully.

How about that chap who has
been wandering about, stealing
clothes and food and entering houses
at will, without leaving any trace? I
should think he was the most likely

ranged, for this murder appears to
have been such a purposeless one" "

part of the whole affair is how it
was possible for one girl to be gassed

CHAPTER TX.

Sergeant Barry turned the gas
mask over and over in his hands. His
had been right after all!
Fay Tudor was innocent beyond any
doubt, for had she asphyxiated her
cousin she need not have gone to the
trouble of donning the gas mask; she
could simply have closed the windows
and doors, allowed the carbon mon
oxide to escape, and left the room UNI
til it had done its work.
As he took the mask from its case
he noted that it had not been re-
placed in the proper manner, but
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-03-07

/ could tell as plain as day that she
suspected something against the gnl,
even though she wouldn't admit it. -
The sheriff paused for breath, and
Barry demanded
you mean that she thinks her
niece overheard that talk about car
bon monoxide and went directly and
put it into practice?"
Wen, it would explain why Miss
Fay wasn't affected"
1t was late afternoon when Ser
geant Barry returned to the Tudor
estate. He went behind the garage
and to the rear Of the tea house.
At his approach he had discerned
slender back-gowned figure seated
upon the steps Of the little toy struc-
ture, and beside it man with a pair
of crutches at hand. He recalled the
episode of the morning, when he and
the lieutenant had come upon the
same couple, and the young officer
had discIaimed all knowledge Of the
stranger. -,--
Barry crept softly around the side
of the tea house until he had reach-
ed a point where he could see with
out being himself seen. He halted
in time to hear Fay Tudor remark:
$50 you see, Captain Warren, what
a fix I'm in. Those slippers would
be enough evidence in themselves to
send me to prison, | suppose, and
that silly affair with Harry Cadmus
two years ago, of which | have told
you, would furnish a motive. Oh, it
is like a horrible nightmare! To be
suspected of such a terrible crime,
and that against the little cousin /
lovedw
Her voice broke, as though she
found herself unable to continue, and
again the the detective maveled. Was
the girl consummate actress, or
was hers indeed the grief and humili-
alton of being unjustly assailed?
The captain evidently had no
doubts on that score, for he took one
of her hands in both of his, and she
made no effort to withdraw it.
THAT is what | have come to you
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-03-07

had been thrust in with every evil
dence of haste. A careful examina-
ton revealed no finger marks upon
the mask itself, but upon the case
several were visible.
He crossed the hall to the room in
which the tragedy had occurred.
There he commenced an elaborate
search.
His efforts seemed to meet with no
success, for shaking his head
doubtfully, he entered the bathroom
where he scrutinized the shelves and
medicine chests.
At last he seized upon a small
pasteboard box and opened it, dis
closing half a dozen white powders
wrapped separately in a tilmy sub
stance resembling oiled paper.
With a little exclamation of salts
faction, his hand fell upon tiny
porcelain jar with a foreign label,
and as he gingerly unscrewed the
TOP faint odor Of fresh rose leaves
tioated out upon the air.
