Still Coughing?

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Circumcision.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take chance
with anything less than Creomul-
sion, which goes right to the seat
of the trouble to aid nature to
soothe and heal the inhamed MEM
branes as the germ-laden phlegm
is loosened and expelled.
Even if other remedies have
failed, don't be discouraged, your
druggist is authorized to guarantee
money if you are not satisfied with
results from the very first bottle.
Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv)

CHAPTER XXI

DEFECTIVE OFFICER KETTER-
 TNGs FOURTH REPORT, CON-
 TINUED.
 Having re-examined all the parties, I proceeded to new analy- sis of the situation and composed @ fresh draft of possible motives.
 
 POSSIBLE MOTIVES No. 2) 0-t-37.
 MRS. JOCELYN.: Nil, az far as is known at the moment but she iB in collusion with her husband. supporting his statement that he was in his bath at 7:45, when we know that he was not. and she may oT may not have been in her own cabin at that hour.
 COUNT PO5ODINI ALIA 8 SLICK" DANIELS: 4 motive, in that he admits that 1t was through Blane's agency that he was sent down for his first term in Sing Sing, and that Jocelyn brought him on board with the deliberate in- tention of giving him the oppor- tunity of getting even with Blafe. It s even possible that Jocelyn may have paid him to do the job, or that they did the job between them. His alibi depends on his be- ing able to prove that Mrs. Jocelyn was in his cabin from 7:46 till es1O,. and this siie denies.
 MR. v ROCKGAVAdE.: Strong motive, and if Is now proved, owing to his capability of chang ing in under four minutes, that he had ample time to commit the crime between 8:10 and 8:30.
 THE BISHOP OF BuDE.: Strong motive, Tn the Bishops previous statement he said that he had only met BIane casually in an English country house once about seven years ago G920), whereas he docs not now deny that he met Blanc in France in 1917.
 BIane's letter shows that there was S0rne strong tie up between the two. It now seems certain that this was in connection with the unsavory business that the Bishop is 70 anxious should not be made public. The probability is that Blanc was holding this over him and, AS there ample oportunity for the Bishop to commit the crime, he now comes strongly under suspicion.
 LADY WELTER.: Strong motive. owing to the fact that 1t looks as though she would have been con- pletely bankrupt If the Rocksavage companies had gone under and no longer in a position to finance the group of papers which are her principal life interest.
 MIR. HAYASHI.: Strong motive. It now appears that he stood to lose . considerable sum of money If

At the end of the ninth hole, MT. Pagans caddy commented on strange thing. He said that there was one member of the club who had practiced for years on a golf technique. He used only two kinds of shots. drives and approach shots. All his bhots were perfectly straight and the drives were always exactly the same length while hk approach shots were of different length from the drives but also of the same length themselves 70 that he always hit the ball one Of two distances.
