'SPO0KY' VOICE
ALARMS VILLAGE
Butler. N. ]. Citizens Band To-

terious Ghost

BUTLER, N. j., July IA
"snooky" voice has been crying IN

Calvary Cemetery, in the outskirts
Of this village, for 10 successive
nights between midnight ana day
break Strange shoutings, not un-
like those of an enraged telephone
subscriber yelling into the transmit
ter. have been head by passers-by
At least, 80 responsible citizens who
have heard the voice have tried in
vain to solve the mystery.
Roland Marcus and his wife, who
live in Bartholdi avenue, not far
from the cemetery, first heard the
voice as they We're retiring for the
night. Marcus dressed and with q
lantern followed the sound, think
ing that some one was in distress,
but he could not locate the source
bf the cry.

head the strange noise and started
i'm the direction of the sound, but
his chase also came to naught.
A party of IL after hearing the
voice in the dense woods tried to
surround the sound, but without
success. Spring said:
Every night when we hear this
strange voice IT seems to come near
er and grows holder, but we will
capture the cuss who is fooling with
us if we are compelled to surround
the woods with a posse and close in
like a rabbit drive out West"
Early in the year school children
coming home in terror told thi;.
parents of wild man leaping out
Of the woods near the cemetery and
babbling incoherent words in a loud
voice. The man was never caught.

Vantine laughed, but there was

But the suggestion was too alb
surd for Kernochan to entertain.

been searched l would have found
the ring upon him. But in that event
I might have lost the ruby ring.

BEGIN HERE TODAY


John Ainsley, man &C education
and breeding becomes a master
.crook-preying upon other thieves.
Posing as a millionaire, he goes to
the estate of a wealthy retired
broker, Kernochan, to steal a large
ruby ring belonging to Kernochan's
daughter, who is engaged to Ernest
Vantine, chief owner of detective
agency.
Having acquired a paste copy Of
the ruby from an elderly widow, its
former owner, Ainsley substitutes
the imitation for the real ring when
the lights go out in the library. But
the substitution is discovered, and
Va tine prepares to search Ainsley.

And before l could put it to my
lips, Vantine's fingers gripped my
wrist.
so, that's where you hid itp' he
cried.
Don't be absurd, Ernest" said
Miss Kernochan petulantly "The
coffee was just brought in"
But Vantine must have seen some
thing triumphant in my Eyes, for he
poured the coffee out, part of it, in
to the saucer, and the CROPPED in the
liquid remaining in the cup. Then,
forgetful of the presence of his
fiancee, he cursed angrily.
IF all detectives are as stupid rs
you, Vantine," l told him, Il won
der that more people don't go in for
theft" l reached for his cup. Il
don't propose to be denied my drink
because YOU are a jackass," l re-
marked. With that | put his cup to
my lips; the ruby ring passed into
my mouth; | put the cup down, and
wiped my mouth with a napkin. A
second later the ruby ring had once
again returned to my waistcoat
pocket. l nodded colby to Kerrc-
pbaY o.,I III.
'Now, them" l said to Vantine,
IF you will kindly unlock the door,
will go upstairs, get my things
and leave"
The sweat stood on Kernochans
forehead but he nodded to Vantine
to .acquiesce in my demand. The de-
tective opened the door for me; |
walked calmly through it, and began
mounting the stairs in the hall out
side.
Now, I have said that this period
in my career I was an amateur. This
account of my recklessness IS proof

me the injustice to suppose that /

policemen would be in the house.
Only Vantine's pride had caused
this much delay in sunmoning the
police. For their arrival meant
publicity and Consequent ridicuIe, in
the press, for the great detective
who must call in village policemen
to recover a jewel stolen under his
eyes. But Vantine's pride was NOT
too elastic; it had snapped now. He
would risk libel suit. The jewel
was worth these risks.
Yet, knowing what they were do
ing, l managed to restrain myself
until l reached my room. Then /
acted as swiftly as ever a man, in a
similar predicament, could hope to
act. l snatched up hat and coat,
crossed my room in bound, threw

Vantine smirked. II am dealing
with desperate criminal, Alice.
But Ainsley is dealing with de-
tective of some reputation. Would
a criminal, as CARING as this man,
leave this house without the OBJ
ject for which he has risked his
liberty? Certainly not. Look at his

Mothers, what would you give to feel
easy when your little one begins to
show, signs of bilousness?
1t is customary to think that you
ought to use calomel and castor oil, but
you dread giving these doses as much
as the child fears to take them. And
still, you dread what may happen if
you use just the ordinary children's
laxative
It was to meet this very situation that
l invented Liv-o-lax, and if you try it
once, YOU won't think of using calomel
again.
Liv-o-lax cleanses liver and bowels,
too, and still it is a pleasant tasting
liquid, entirely vegetable, which causes
no distress, serves equally well in colds,
constipation and indigestion and is just
as good for adults as it is for the child
ren-who really love to take it.
