To end stubborn cough N
quickly, it is important to soothe M
and heal the infiamed membranes, wv
get rid of the germs and also to M
aid the system inwardly to help "
throw off the trouble. Il
For these purposes, here is a
homemade medicine, far better than |
anything you could buy at 3 times
the cost. From any druggist, get
2h ounces of Pinex. Pour this into
a pint bottle, and add plain granu-
lated sugar syrup or strained honey
to fill up the pint. This takes but
moment, and makes remedy so
effective that you will never do with
out, once you have used it. Keeps
perfectly, and children like it.
This simple remedy does three
necessary things. First, it loosens
the germ-laden phlegm. Second, it
sOotheS away the inflammation.
Third, it is absorbed into the blood,
where it acts directly on the bron- II
chial tubes. This explains why it II
brings such quick relief, even in the
obstinate bronchial coughs which II
follow cold epidemics.
PiDex is a highly concentrated II
compound of genuine Norway Pine, III
containing the active agent of creo- III
sote, in refined, palatable form, HI
and known as one of the great III
est healing agents for severe XIII
coughs, chest colds and bron. SSj

supper time, so we can all walk slow.
Nov, first We'll walk around the

right down another, till we've seen

everything at once. I've got man
standing guard at the top of the
backstairs in the third floor hall,
so her rooms safe from meddlers."
MAY I see that, Chief?" Dundee
asked, with strange excitement, and
reached for the vanity case.
Want to see what kind Of lip
stick a blond uSeS?" StraWn asked
as he snapped open the mirrored
lid.
"Yes!" And he evidently did, for
he squinted very thoughtfully at
the bright red lipstick it contained.
They found that Mrs. Berkeley
had taken advantage of their alb
sence to rise, wrap her plump body
in a maribou-trimmed negligee of
orchid chiffon, and dispose herself
in nest of lace-trimmed silk pill
lows on the chaiSe Tongue.
Her breakfast tray was beside her,
and both she and her husband, who
was seated at her feet, were drink
ing coffee. The toast, eggs and
fruit seemed to have been I'M
touched.
"NTOU found that every word
u Dick said was true, didn't
you?" she demanded triurnphantly
of Captain Strawn.
Without replying, the detective
signaled to Dundee to get ready to
continue the questioning.
When he was seated near the
woman, with pencil poised above the
pad of notepaper, Dundee asked:
Mrs. Berkeley, when did you last
see Doris Matthews?"
81 did not see her at all after I
went down for dinner" she stated
positively. Doris helped me dress.
Dinner was to be at $780, and I left
this room about 7:15. I never saw
her again"
George Berkeley looked at his wife
as if surprised or startled, seemed
about to speak, then clamped his
lips firmly together.
Dundee saw, but was not yet
ready to challenge Mrs. Berkeley's
truthfulnesS. Her lie concerning
Dicks promise not to press his at
tentionS upon Doris had already
given him ample indication of
what to expect.
WAS it then that you told Doris
she need not wait up to help you
get ready for bed?" he asked.
why, yes. I am always careful
to spare my servants as much as
possible" she said Virtuously. Doris
had been extremely busy yester-
day and today was to be a heavy
day for all of us, so I wanted her to
get as much sleep as possible"
And of course, since you were
very much annoyed with Doris, be-
cause of Dick and Arnold, you were
in no mood to see any more of her
than was necessary" Dundee
agreed, disarmingly. 'Now, Mrs.
Berkeley, will you please tell me
where you made up your face be-
fore dressing for dinner?"

he was lying when he said he want

his love led him into?" Dundee an
Swered thoughtfully. Well. here's
his dressing room And these seem
to be the shoes he was wearing last
night"
Strawn took the fine. custom
made pair of black dress shoes and
shifted them, walking away from
the dressing room to do so, for the
odor of Fleur glamour was strong
in there.
