upon the chauffeur and on his face
very odd expression. None of us
seemed fully able to grasp that a man
had been murdered almost before our
eyes.
Doctor King had been working over
Miss Potter, and she now opened her
eyes and glanced around wildly. She
saw the body at her feet, and with
a little cry asked. whats happened?
No one answered for a moment /;
and then BARLEY replied simply.
Someone has murdered the chauf-
feur"
AT the word murder she gasped and
covered her eyes with her hand. After
moment she removed 1t, and STAN
mered, 'H-how-who?"
No one attempted to answer. The
truth was that no one could. All we
knew was that he had been killed by
the knife that was now in Bartley's
hand But how, why. and by whom
it was done, none of us knew. 1t
seemed Incredible that anyone could
have crept up to the murdered man
in the dark without being heard by
those seated on either side of him.
His cry had lasted but the barest
fraction of second 1t seemed scarce
ly time enough between the moment
when the lights went out and the time
when the cry came for anyone to have
come up TO him, murdered him, and
gotten away again. The murder must
have been committed by someone near
him. On one side of him had been
Miss Potter; and, on the other, Roche.
Roche was above. suspicion; police
chief does not kill his prisoner unless
he attempts to escape. Then l re-
menibered the strange look that had
passed between Miss Potter and the
chauffeur when the latter had entered
the room.
Though there had evidently been i'll
feeling between the two, 1t seemed
absurd to suppose that she had killed
him. To have done it, she would have
had to have known that he would be |
seated beside her. knew that no one |

but the coroner had known before
hand how the Witnesses would be
! placed. Nor could she have known
that the lights would go out just
when they did, and thus give a chance
to strike the blow. II dawned on me-
at this point. that she could not
have known that the chauffeur would
be called as a witness, and might not
lave even known that he had been
arrested. Yet the blow had been
struck by some one near her. and
very near TO him.
At this moment Roche hurried into
the room. his fat red face flushed to
IN even redder hue, his eyes wide
and curious.
"What shall I do with those people
outsider" he asked the district attor-
ney. II got them out of the house
but the reporters nre bowling their
heads off, They want TO know what
mas happened"
The attorney gave BARLEY an ap-
pealing look.
"If I were you," BARLEY told him.
II would call the inquest Off for to-
day at least. You have heard all the
important evidence. What Briffeur
might have said we shall never know.

ney nodded, Roche hurried from the

waiting for BARLEY to take the lead.
Seeing that we were depending on
him, he walked to the desk where
King had sat, and called us around
him.
Silently he turned the knife over
and over in his hand. then gave 1t TO
each Of us in turn to examine. 1t
was curious kind of a knife. looking
as If II had had hard usage. The
handle was of wood, rather heavy.

Thousands of women have kidney and

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-

to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness. are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
