of the murder of Margaret Odell and
that he lay hidden in a closet while the
stranger did his work. rIarkham
ridicules the theory but Vance is un-
shaken. He skaters Cleaver's alibi of
being out of the city the night of the
murder and urges Markham to check
up thoroughly on Mannix's whereabouts.
DR.. Lindquist, who had lied once he
fore, is brought in again and ques-
toned.

A cloud of apprehension spread
over Doctor Lindquist'S face.

insensible to the sanity of your cav

His tone betrayed only contempt.

your inquisition is ended?"

A young man who was brought
up on a farm in Western Pennsyl-

studies and teaching. he managed
to save enough money to put him
through medical college. He began
the practice of medicine in the new
oil section of Pennsylvania and
often rode horseback through the
woods to reach and relieve those
who were seriously i'll. He was a
student of nature, knew and easily
recognized most of the medicinal
plants growing in the woods
Finally, he moved to Buffalo, N.
Y. where he launched his favorite
remedies. and, in a short time, they

HELP KIDNEYS
BY DRINKING
MORE WATER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
and Help NeGtralize Ir-
ritating Acids

Kidney and bladder irritationS
often result from acidity, says a
noted authority. The kidneys help
filter this acid from the blood and
pass it on to the bladder.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this
is often one of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Begin drinking
lots of soft water, also set about
four ounces of Jad Salts from your
pharmacist and take a tablespoon
full in glass of water before break
fast. Continue this for two or three
days. This will help neutralize the
acids in the system so they no long
er are a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs, which
then act normal again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice. combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks
who are subject to urinary disorders
caused by acid irritation. Jad
Salts causes no bad effects what
ever.
Here you have pleasant,
efferveScent lithia-water drink
which may quickly relieve your
bladder irritation.-Advertisem

! committally, will you give me more
specific information as to your
whereabouts Monday night?"
Again I noted yellow thinge
creep over the mans features, and
his body stiffened perceptibly. But
when he spoke it was with his ha-
bitual Suavity.
IT considered that my note to you
covered that question satisfactorily.
What did I omit?"
What was the name of the pa
tent on whom you were calling that
night?"
Mrs. Anna Breedon. She is the
widow of the late Amos H. Breedon
of the Breedon National Bank of
Long Branch"
And you were with her, 1 believe
you stated, from eleven until one?"
That is correct"
And was Mrs. Breedon the only
witness to your presence at the
sanitarium between those hours?"
II am afraid that is so. You see,
after ten o'clock at night I never
ring the bell. let myself in with
my own key"
"And I suppose that I may be
permitted to question Mrs. Bree-
don?"
Doctor Lindquist was profoundly
regretful.
MRS. Breedon is very i'll woman.
She suffered a tremendous shock at
the time of her husbands death last
summer, and has been practically in
a Semi-consciouS condition ever
since.
There are times when I even fear
for her reason. The slightest dis
turbance or excitement might pro-
duce very serious results"
He took a newspaper cutting from
a gold-edged letter case and handed
it to Markham.
"You will observe that this obit-
uary notice mentions her prostra-
ton and confinement in a private
Sanitarium. have been her phySi-
clan for years"
Markham, after glancing at the
cutting, handed it back. There was
short silence broken by question
from Vance.
by the by. doctor, what is the
name of the night nurse at your
sanitarium?"
Doctor Lindquist looked up
quickly.
my night nurse? Why-what
has she to do with it? She was very
busy Monday night. I can't I'M

her name 7 have no objection. It's

Vance wrote down the name and,
rising, carried the slip of paper to
Heath.
Sergeant, bring Miss Finckle
here tomorrow morning at eleven"
he said. with a slight lowering of
one eyelid.
Il sure will, sir. Good idea" His
manner boded no good for Miss

and his whole frame became tense.
Blood Suffused his cheeks; and
there was a twitching of the mus
cles about his mouth and throat.
For a moment was afraid he was
going to lose self-control. But after
a moments effort he steadied him
self.
you think perhaps I threatened
to Strangle her?" His words were
vibrant with the intensity of his
passionate anger.
"And you would like to turn my
threat into moose to hang me?
Paugh!
He paused, and when he spoke
again his voice had become clearer.
1T is quite true once inadvisedly
attempted to frighten Miss Odell
with a threat to kill her and to
commit suicide. But if your in
formation is accurate, as you would
have me believe, you are aware
that I threatened her with a re-
volver.
"It is the weapon, believe, that is
conventionally mentioned when
making empty threats. I certainly
would not have threatened her with
thuggee, even had I contemplated
so abominable an act"
TRUE" nodded Vance. "And
it's a rather good point, don't y
know"
The doctor was evidently encour-
aged by Vances attitude. He again
faced Markham and elaborated his
confession.
"a threat, I presume you know,
is rarely the forerunne1 of a violent
deed. Even a brief study of the
human mind would teach you that
threat is prirna facie evidence of
ones innocence. A threat, general
ly, is made in anger, and acts as its
own Safety-valve.'
He shifted his eyes. "I am not

has not been stabilized, as it were;
and I am constantly coming in

Indeed, I suspected her, more than
once, Of deliberately and perverSely

"At any rate. she took no pains to

almost distracted.
And it was in the hope of
frightening her into more amen

threatened her. I trust that you are
a sufficiently discerning judge of
human nature to believe me-"
