he could tell; for the bag had con-

these all apparently were still there
lie had laid out the things on the
seat across from him while checking
them up, and now he began TO put
them back In the BAG. Suddenly he
noticed that one OF his socks was
missing; what had been eleven pairs
was now only ten pairs and one odd
sock.
This disappearance OF a single sock
was so strange. so bizarre, so per
picking that-unless IL was Rcciden-
tal-he could not account for Il az all.
No one opens a mans bag and steals
one sock. and he was quite sure there

and examined, and In putting them

Later he had felt certain that this

any one OF "them" who knew him
would have spoken by this time. Now
his suspicfons that one OF "them' must
be aboard the train returned.
The bag certainly had not been car

or he would have seen II from the
compartment at that end Of the car
where ne had sat smoking. The bag,
therefore had been carried ont the

at the door Of the SantOine car. who
warned him 10 be quiet in passing

CHARACTER TELLS
THE STORYl

People throughout this country are
giving more thought TO hygiene and to
the purity Of remedies on the market,
but no one doubts the purity Of Doctor
Pierce's vegetable medicines, for they
have been so favorably known for over
fifty years that everyone knows they ara
lust what they are claimed TO be. These
medicines are the result of long research
by a wsll-lluown physician, r V. Pierce,
M. d., who compounded them from
health-giving herbs and roots long used
in sickness by the Indians DR.. Piercs's
reputation as a leading and honored
citizen Of Buffalo, is a sufficient guaran-
tee for the purity Of that splendid tonic
