PETTY OFFICER M. COOK His Au!o-Intoxication Had Nothing To Do With Volstead Mr M. Cook of 1236 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.. says: "I felt 'drunk* most of the time. My head was dizzy, I couldn’t think clearly. 1 paid no attention to it until one day 1 dropped a coin and when I stooped to get it, i got so dizzy I fell in the middle of the street and was almost run over l later found out that the cause of this condition was- due to a sluggish fiver causing FAULTY INTESTINAL ELIMINATION (constipation). This was promptly and effectively overcome by a short course of Carter's Little Liver Pills. They were a life-saver in my case. My appetite has doubled, my dimness has gene, and my pep is great” Carter’s Little Liver Pills have been recommended by druggists everywhere for 67 years. 25c a package.

each of you as to what you saw and heard. Mr. Einley, will you speak first, and remember you ara on oath.” “I heard the shot. I went from the east veranda to the east door of the sunroom. I went In. and I saw Douglas Raynor on the floor, a revolver at his side. I picked it up—an involuntary act, for which I have no definite explanation, and at that mo- ; ment. Miss Turner snapped on the lights.” “Did you see Mrs. Raynor In th* room? Recollect, you are on oath.” “I saw her -rt the west doorway." "Coming in or going out?” “As I was so amazed a t the sight • of Mr. Raynor, and a little blinded ! by the sudden light, I cannot posij tively answer your question. But to the best of my knowledge and belief she was coming in.” “You think, she was going out. | Miss Turner?” “I know she was.” said the nurs®. “Mrs. Raynor, do you care to | testify?” •‘Xo—Pd rather not.” Eva Turner said nothing, but the triumphant look on her face told of her conviction of Xan's guilt. I “I haven't spoken yet,” Kent said, j deliberately. “I euppose I have a right to be heard, Mr. Dobbins?" "I'ertalnlv.” “I came In at the south door." j Orry began, “and I found the scene j much as you have all described it. ! Douglas lay on the floor, Finley stood nar him. revolver In hand. Miss Turner was at the north door, j or just Inside It, and Miss Mattie I was close to her. But as I came In at the south door my sister was just ; entering the west door. She was not going out. she was not ‘fleeing* or running away, she was coming in —1 saw her —her face horror stricki en with surprise and fright.” Miss Turner gave a supercilious ! smile. “Mr. Kent is quite right." she said. ; “but it must be remembered that he j came a few momenta later than the i re-f of us. That was Mrs. Raynor's ; return that he saw. I saw her leave j the room, hastily, as X said, and I ; then saw her return, coming in at i the door, as her brother also entered i it the south door. This. I think, explains the seeming discrepancy in our accounts.” Kent looked baffled and finally I said: “Mr. Dobbins, you have only Miss Turner's unsupported word for that and I hold that is not sufficient.” Poor Dobbins looked worried to i death. “1 think.” he said, at last, wiping , his forehead, “that I must take some i time to think this thing over." “Am X under arrest?" Eva Turner I asked, a Uttle fearfully. “Xo: no. Miss Turner, not yet.” “I am not sure Mrs. Raynor wishes me to stay here,” she said, turning | to Xan. “I am not sure that I do.” Xan ! returned calmly. “But I think It. Is proper that you should stay, and so I I ask you to do so." The group; broke up and Finley took Xan off for a walk In the : grounds. CHAPTER XTV Pennington Wise The newcomer at Flower Acres w is a good-looking, well set-up man of thirty-five or so. with thick chesti ut hair, brushed back from his foreoad. keen, blue eyes and a manner that inspired confidence. Pennington Wise was his name. ..nd he was a justly celebrated titivate detective. Ezra Goddard has engaged him. With him had come a strange j little being, who. he said, carelessly. ! was his asoistant. She was a small , scrap of a girl, slender as a willow wand, .inconspicuous, unnoticr-ahle. , almost invisible, so persistently did j she keep In the background. Yet she i was always there, always at the beck j or call of Pennington Wise, and her I assistance was as valuable as It was unostentatious. It transpired that the detective j knew th" history of the ease “P careful In your statements," I he counseled. “There is nothing so j uncertain as human evidence Ts | am to get at the facts of this case. | 1 must have th* 1 most meticulous • efforts on the part of you all to ! speak the truth. T,et IIH take this j point of Mrs. Raynor's position | when Miss Turner put the lights on. j Miss Turner, ean you swear that I -Mrs. Raynor was leaving the room?” •*Y*s—oh, yes." "Was frisrhron*<l looking?" "Yes—indeed she was!” “Ah—how did you observe this when her back was toward you? Row do you know that she did not wear an expression of triumph—” Eva Turner looked dumbfounded. "You see.” Wise went on, "Miss Turner noted the frightened face of j Mrs. Raynor, although she swears that Mrs. Raynor was going out of the door —fleeing-—T believe she said.” "You were inside the sun parlor before the light flashed up?” “Yen." "You had involuntarily pieked up the revolver before the light appeared?” "Y'es.” ‘How could you see the weapon?” “It wan dusk —not entirely dark, and the metal shone clearly.” “Yes, it would. You could see Mr. Raynor ” "An a huddled heap on the floor. ! Seeing the pistol. I knew what must have happened, and I picked It up—” “Yes, I know, and then tho light came and —here is the point, you glanced at once toward Mrs. Raynor?” "Xo—or, T don’t know.” Finley j spoke slowly. "I should say I ; looked first at Mr. Raynoi—natural- ! ly he caught my attention.” "Os course—of course,” Wise as;sented. “and then?” "And then —oh. I don’t know! I : suppose my eyes glanced round —” "Try to think —your eyes glanced round and you saw Mrs. Raynor—” "Yes.” "Going out or coming In at the j west door?" Finley fidgeted. "I don’t know,” he said at last, I desperately: "I should say she was j Just standing there—neither going j out nor coming In.” "Certainly not ’fleeing' then,” and

Wise nodded You saw her face, i Mr. Finley. Again Finley pauaed. "Mr. Wise," ho said. "1 cannot I say.” "After the notice you took of Mr. | Raynor, nfter tho look you gave j ! the wenpn yon held In your hand. ; j offer these appraising glances--you i state that your eyes were Ho blinded I by tlie sudden light you could not ; I see Mrs. Raynor clearly " Malcolm Finley looked chagrined, ; | and then .in manly fashion ho nc i copied the situation. "1 fear I spoke hastily. Mr Wise ! Now. I can only say. that 1 agree < that after the attention T paid to. the sight of* Mr. Raynor, end to the j revolver, which T saw unite clearly, j 1 I could not have been dazzled by the j light.” “Yet it seems probable that, you should see the lady as well as that i you should see the other scenes you j speak of. You noticed Miss Turner?” j "Yes; she stood, her hand still on ! the light switch, her face horrified, j and behind her came Miss Raynor, j equally agitated." “You seem to have noticed these ] j two ladles much more definitely than j | you observed Mrs. Raynor. Why was that?” "I can not tell you." Malcolm Finley said, with dignity. “Will you tell me," Wise said, turning to Nan. “whether you were leaving or entering Ihe room when the lights appeared?” “T don’t know—” “Try to think —It may mean a great deal.” “I can’t think—l can’t remember.” "You were sitting on the terrace when you heaxd the shot?” “Yes." “Mrs. Raynor, then as you had been sitting In the dusk, your eyes were accustomed to It —not as if you had come from a lighted room—when you reached the -west door of the sun parlor, was the door open?” “Yes. "What did you see?” “Nothing alarming—at first.” “But you saw—" Nancy looked at him. her eyes wide with horror, yet full of uncertainty. "You saw —” the inexorable blue eyes looked steadily at her. “I saw—” she spoke like one hypnotized, then she seemed fairly to wrench her own gaze away from the | detective’s as she cried out, “I won’t tell you what I saw!” “Ret her alone,” said a soft little voice, and the girl, Zlzl, glided to Nan’s side, sank in a low seat beside ' her, and took her hand. “As to incidental matters," the detective said, speaking on as if with-

out Interruption, “whose was the revolver?” “It belonged to my brother,” Miss Mattie said, eagerly, glad to take a part in this enthralling conversation. "I’ve been told you wiped it with your handkerchief, Mr. Finley, even while you were dazzled by the sudden light and dazed by trie shock of the tragedy.” "Yes. T did it unthinkingly—” "You did not do It unthinkingly.” the detective said. "You did it purposely—to remove fingerprints—either your own or another's! Will you say which?" "If I say which, I shall certainly say my own—for I have no reason to suspect any one else.” "Now, as to the mark of the overshoe on the floor.” The detective seemed to jump from one subject to another easily. "Who saw it?” “I did,” Miss Raynor vouchsafed, "The other detective showed it to me. He said it was a clew.” “It is.”-Wise said gravely. (Continued in Our Next Issue)

Large Descon Miller was going to Chicago on business and while there was to purchase anew sign which was to be hung up In the front of the church advertising anew re Uglous movement. He copied the motto end dimensions of the sign, but went to Chicago and left the paper In his coat at home. When he discovered that he had left the paper at home, he wired his wife; “Send motto and dimensions.” An hour later a message came over the wire and the young lady clerk who knew nothing of the previous wire, fainted. When they looked at the message she had just taken they read: “Unto us a child Is born, 6 feet long and 2 feet wide."—Whls Bang.
