house. The story was sympathetic
to Doris and Rocky. Lacking pic
ture of young Mrs. Rocky Du Val.
they printed one of Oscar Du Val
with the caption:
"Son'S wife taken in false arrest"
Doris read it through twice. It
would have been a good story-a
good joke on the police-if only
she had been Mrs. Rocky Du Val.
At the end Of the story was a
paragraph which said that Mrs. Du
Val was the fourth wrong Diane
Merrell to have been discovered.
"Why couldn't one of those girls
have been Diane Merrell instead of
me?" she thought as she got out
Of bed.
She would ask Beatrice to get her
some old newspapers. She would
like to read about Diane Merrell.
She was bathed and dressed when
Beatrice came back.
I'm afraid I've been q long time,
but there's such lot to do" There
was busy little frown on her broad
brow
II wonder, Beatrice, If you could
dig up some old newspapers for me
to read"
"Of course"
They went downstairs together to
Beatrice's pretty little room, done
In lowered chintz.
This has been my own special
place since I was SIXTEEN" said
Beatrice. 'T'm sure there are some
newspapers in the basement. I'll
send them up"
A few minutes later, an elderly
maid came in and put down a huge
pile of old newspapers on the table.
Doris rose unsteadily. She felt
little faint as she put out her
hands to touch them. Here lay her
own story-or did it? Would she
have the courage to read it?
The first paper was recent. and
yielded nothing. As she continued
her search with beating heart, she
came upon great glaring headlines:
"Shoots Groom After Wedding.
Society Girl Kills New Husband
and Disappeared. Note Found"
She read feverishly. She had been
married at an afternoon wedding
on May 10 to a man named Howard
Valery. Immediately after the we'd
ding reception she had gone out by
side door where her own motor
was parked, loaded with her lug
gage. The groom had been with
her. AS they were about to step
into the car she had shot him, and
had driven away.
AS she read, stronger and
stronger feeling of antipathy for
this girl Diane Merrell developed.
Was it possible that she had ever
been girl capable of all this? She
was a heartless, cold-blooded GRIM
inal. For the note proved that the
crime had been premeditated.
She studied the note again. It

RECORD AMERICAN QUAKE

An earthquake that not only was
the largest recorded in the United
States but the longest began several
months ago in a sparsely settled sec
ton of Nevada. The greatest shock
came within a few days after the
frst, and since that time thousands
of smaller shocks have been record
ed. According to biologists it was
caused by forces down deep towards
the earth's core and this probably &C.
counts for the fact that there was so
little damage done. No lives and
very little property were lost during
this period of temblors. The shocks
were clearly felt over an area of 400,-
300 square miles. Top soil was
shaken and disturbed over large
area and it even affected the flow of
springs within the area.

tears. Its Rocky who needs rest,

He stood for minute looking down

His curt tone startled Doris. He

How to rid any boy or girl of sluggishness

The trouble with children who will
not eat is usual stasis. The symp-
toms are a tongue that's always
coated, bad breath, poor color, dull
eyes that are often bilious yellow.
No appetite, no ambftion-eVen for
play. Hard to get to sleep, hard to
wake In the morning.
There's an absolute remedy for
this condition. It gives listless
youngsters the appetite and ener-
gies of a young animal! They eat !!
They gain! They keep well!
It's, not the stomach, but the
bowel condition that keeps children
from eating. But the trouble is in
the lower bowel-the colon. Cali

medicine that is needed to stimu-
late the colon muscles. The very
next day, your child is eating bet
ter and feeling better. Keep on with
the syrup of figs a few days and
you will see amazing Improvement

Bronchial Troubles
