is to know where to look"
Heath relighted his dead cigar
and made an impatient gesture.

"You may be right" Markham
seemed inclined to agree with him.
However, I'd like to know why
LindquiSt acted the way he did"

Heath compromised. IF the doc
was so far gone on Odel1 as to
threaten to shoot her, and if he
went off his head when you asked
hi INTO alibi himself, maybe he
could tell us something. Why not
throw little scare into him? His

Vance.
Markham looked up sharply. Then
he consulted his appointment book.
I'm fairly free this afternoon,
so suppose you bring him down here,
sergeant. Get a Subpoena If you

And make it as soon after lunch

He tapped on the desk irritably.
eff I don't do anything else, I'm
going to eliminate some of this
human f1otsam that's cluttering up
the case.
And Lindquist is as good as any
to start with. I'll either develop
these various suspicious circum-
stances into something workable, or
I'll root them up. Then we'll see
where we stand"
Heath shook hands pesSimistical-
ly and went out.

looking after him. HE giveth way
to all the pangs and fury of despair. "

Markham, eff the newspapers were

Heath accompanied him, and,
from the expression on the SER

not at all like his companion.
The doctor, at Markham's re-
quest, seated himself facing the
district attorneys desk.
What is the meaning Of this new
outrage?" he demanded coldly. "Is
it your prerogative to force a citi-
zen to leave his private affairs in
order to be bullied?"
Its my duty to bring murder

with equal GOODNESS.

giving aid to the authorities is an

my word! If this being detec-

though, the lady didn't attend the

When we arrived at the district
attorneys Office we found Heath
and Markham in consultation
Markham had a pad before him.
several pages of which were covered
with tabulated and annotated en-
tries.
A cloud of cigar smoke enveloped
him. Heath sat facing him, his ell
bows on the table, his chin resting
in his hands.
He looked pugnacious but dis
consulate.
I'm going over the case with
the sergeant" Markham explained
with a brief glance in our direc-
ton.
Were trying to get all the salient
points down in some kind of order,
to see if there are any connecting
links we've overlooked. I've told the
sergeant about the doctors infatua-
ton and his threats, and Of the
failure of Traffic officer Phipps to
identify Cleaver.
But the more we learn, the worse,
apparently, the tumble grows"
He picked up the sheets of paper
and fastened them together with a
clip.
"The truth is, we haven't any
real evidence against anybody.
There are suspicious circumstances
connected with Skeel and Doctor
Lindquist and Cleaver; and our in
terview with ManniX didn't precise
ly allay suspicious in his direction,
either.
But when we come right down
to it, what's the situation? We've
got some finger prints of Skeel,
which might have been made late
Monday afternoon
Doctor LindquiSt goes berserk
when we ask him where he was
Monday night, and then offers us
a weak alibi. He admits a fatherly
interest in the girl, whereas he's
really in love with her-a perfectly
natural bit of mendacity.
.Cleaver lent his car to his both

he was in Boonton Monday at mid
night.
And Mannix gives us a number of
shifty answers to our questions con-
corning his relations with the girl
Not an embarrassment OF
riches"
IT wouldn't say your information
was exactly negligent" observed
Vance, taking a chair beside the
sergeant.
TT may all prove devilish valu-
able if only it could be put together
properly. The difficulty, it appears
to me, is that certain parts of the
puzzle are missing.

SITS, Indianapolis.
The report referred to was issued
by DR.. Geo. H. Spriggs, 2315 IN
wood Place, Cincinnati, who has
gained fame, because of his dis
tinguished service in the World
War. DR.. Spriggs, who has an
Edinburg degree, stated that this
surprising Konjola medicine SO
completely showed its power in so
many cases of suffering that he
wants everybody to know about it.
He gave detailed statement of the
work of Konjola and also offered
his photograph for publication,
"By helping nature" said this
prominent doctor, "Konjola is far
above older known remedies. 1
first tried it in q case of kidney
trouble-getting up frequently at
nights. The man who took it came
back the fourth day and said he
slept through the previous night. 1
learned afterwards that he had
been treating and doctoring over
ten years for his trouble. I learned
of man who hadn't left his home
for over two years. He had been a
cripple with rheumatism, swollen
joints, stiff aching limbs and
agonizing pains. He completed a
few weeks treatment of Konjola and
said he walked a distance of nearly
a mile. From this case, believed
Konjola would do wonders for
neuritis, and I recommended it to
a lady who said she had tried
everything for this suffering. She
had tried mineral baths, electric
treatments and medicine upon
medicine. It took only 5 weeks OF
the Konjola to completely end her
trouble, but she has never had a
return of the neuritis pains.
Il next treated a woman who had
been in bed days out of 5, suffer-
ing awful stomach pains, caused
from gas, bloating and soreness,
which had been getting worse fol
years past. She said in years she
had spent several thousand dollars
on her health. She took Konjola
and began to eat heartily of many
things she hadn't dared to eat in
years, but her food agreed with her
She continued to take Konjola q
few weeks longer and gained nearly
20 pounds. She says she feels ten
years younger, and her appearance
certainly shows it. 1 had another
lady tell me Konjola did her more
good than years of special diet
ing. She took Konjola for nervous
ness and rundown system.
when Konjola is taken into the
human system, there are a score
or more of different herbal extracts
and each of them has a certain duty
to perform on the kidneys, liver,
stomach end bowels. The cleansing
and invigorating Of these important
organs is what seems 70 bring amaz-
ing relief and new feelings of health
I heartily recommend it and con-
slider it a real Godsend to those
who suffer ill-health."
TIE Konjola Man is at the Hook
Drug Store, Illinois 81 Washington
SITS, indianapolis, where he is daily
meeting the public and introducing
and explaining the merits Of this
remedy. Konjola is being sold in
large quantities at all Hook Stores
and by all the best druggists in all
towns throughout this entire Sec

The jewel case in the apartment
Of the murdered Margaret Oden had

leads Vance to the theory that Skeel
did not commit the crime, but was
hidden in the closet while the stranger
did his work. Vance skaters Cleaver'S

night Of the murder. Alys La Fosse
tells him Mannix had been in her apart
