child from Ohadi. There were others who recOllected perfectly that in the center of the rig was a man. appar- ently "Sissie" Larsen. And they asked questions. They cornered Harry, they shot their queries at him one after another. But Harry was adamant.
 T ain't got anything to sye! And there's an end to itl"
 Late that night, as they were en- gagged at their usual occupation of re- lating the varied happenings of the day to Mother Howard, there came a knock at the door. Instinctively. Fair child bent toward her:
 Your names out of this-as long as possible"
 She smiled in her mothering, know ing way. Then she opened the door, there to find a deputy from the sheriff's office.
 They've impalel d jury up at the courthouse" he announced. "The coroner wants MT. Fairchild and MT. Harkins to come up there and tell what they know about this here skele- ton they found"
 It was the expected. The two men went forth, to find the street about the courthouse thronged, for already the news of the finding of the skele- ton had travelled far, even into the little mining camps which skirted the town. Everywhere were black crowds under the faint street lamps. The basement of the courthouse was illu' minated; and there were clusters of curious persons about the stairways. Through the throngs started Harry and Fairchild, only to be drawn aside by Farrell. the attorney.
 "Tm not going to take part in this unless I have to-" he told them. Tt will look better for you if It Isn't necessary for me to make an appear ance. How do you know but what Thornton Fairchild was attacked by this man and forced to kill In self-de- fense? It's a penitentiary offense for man to strike another. without suf- flcient justification, beneath ground. And had Sissie Larsen even so much as slapped Thornton Fairchild, that man would have been perfectly justi- fled in killing him to protect himself. Guide yourselves accordingly-and l will be there only as a spectator, un- less events should necessitate some thing else"
 They promised and went on, some what calmer In mind, to edge their way to the steps and to enter the basement of the courthouse. The coroner and his jury. composed of six miners picked up haphazard along the street-according to the custom of coroners in general-were already present. So was every person who possibly could cram through the doors of the big room. To them all Fair child paid little attention-al but three.
 They were on back seat in the long cOurtroOm-SQuint ROdaine and his son, chalkier, yet blacker than ever, while between them sat an old woman with white hair which strag- gled about her cheeks, woman with deep-set eyes, whose hands wandered now and then vaguely before her; a wrinkled woman, fidgeting about on her seat, watching with craned neck those who stuffed their way within

the already crammed room, her eyes never still, her lips moving constant ly, as though mumbling some never ending rote. Fairchild stared at her, then turned to Harry.
 "Who's that with the Rodaines?"
 Harry looked furtively. Gray Laura-his wife"

 And she ain't ere for anything goodw Harry's voice bore a tone of nervousness. "Squint Rodaine don't even recognize 'er on the street-much less appear in company with 'er. Something's 'appeningw

He who smokes last
 smokes best
Wherein our correspondent takes a long shot at
 Zanesville, O.

When we printed letter from smoker who professed a preference fo the early morning smoke, apparent. we started something. Almost tn next mail brought along a batch o letters, among which the following 1 a fair sample:
 Dear Sirs:
 Will you allow me to take issue with your A. K. K. from Zanesville who in- sists that the best pipe of the day is the one smoked right after breakfast?
 Of course, have no intimate knowl- edge of local conditions down in Southern Ohio, but up here the majority of US reg ular pipe smokers have decided leaning towards the last pipe of the evening. Take night when you are sitting in front of the fire after the neighbors have gone. Your wife suggests it is bedtime, and while you admit it is, you have upstairs and you promise to follow di- rectly. But instead you take out your pipe and light up. You smoke slowly and peacefully, calling out at intervals that you'll be there in 8 minute. Only you don't go until the last ash has died in the bowl of your pipe. That's my idea of the best smoke of the day.
 Or suppose you've been out to stih, formal party where all they gave you were cigars and cigarettes. You get home about 12 G. M., take of your glad rags and jump into something cool and comfortable. Then you find your old pipe, hunt up the blue can of Edgeworth and light up for a real smoke.
 Yes, sir, for every smoker A. K. K. can produce who likes his after-break- fast pipe best, I'll guarantee to name . dozen men who prefer the last smoke of the evening. And most of us are Edge worth smokers, too.
 Yours very sincerely;

The critical time of a woman's life usually comes between the years of 45 and 50, and is often beset with an- moving symptoms such as nervous ness, irritability, melancholia. Heat flashes or waves of heat appear to pass over the body, cause the face to be very red and often bring on head ache, dizziness and sense of suffo- cation.
 Another annoying symptom which comes at this time is an inability to recall names, dates or other small facts. This is liable tomake a woman lose confidence in herself. She be- comes nervous, avoids eetinR strangers and dreads to go out alone.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is especially adapted to help women at this time. It exer- cises 8 restorative influence, tones and strengthens the system, and as- sists nature in the long weeks and months covering this period. Let it help carry you through this time of life. It is a splendid medicine for the middle-aged woman. It is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs and contains no harmful drugs or nar- cotics.
