r THE STORY THUS FAR IT*# jewel case in tbe apartment of tbe murdered Margaret Odell had been opened with a steel chisel after a futile battering with a poker. This leads Vance to the theory that Skeel did not commit the crime, but was hidden in the closet while the strangler did his work. Vance shatters Cleaver’s alibi that he had been in Boonton the night of the murder. Alys La Fosse tells him Mannix had been in her apartment from ten.thirty until two the night of the murder. Vonce traps her in a falsehood and she admits Mannix did not come until after midnight, which was after Margaret Odell was strangled. CHAPTER XXXI LIKE you more and more,” said J. Vance; and when she gave him her hand at parting he lifted it to his lips. As we rode downtown Vance was thoughtful. We were nearly to the criminal courts building before he spoke. “The primitive Alys rather appeals to me,” he said. “She’s much too good for the oleaginous Mannix. . . . Women are so shrewd—and so gullible. “A woman can read a man with almost magical insight; but, on the other hand, she is inexpressibly blind when it comes to her man. “Witness sweet Alys's faith in Mannix. He probably told her he was slaving at the office Monday night. Naturally, she doesn’t believe it; but she knows —knows, mind you —that her Louie just couldn’t have been concerned in the Canary’s Heath. “Ah, well, let us hope she’s right THE NEW KONJOLA MEDICINE PRAISED BY NOTED DOCTOR Prominent World War Physician From Cincinnati Strongly Indorses New Compound. A remarkable report has been received which shows more clearly than ever the unusual value of this celebrated new medical preparation, Konjola, which the Konjola Man is introducing to large crowds of men and women daily at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois & Washington

DR. GEO. H. SPRIGGS

Sts., Indianapolis. The report referred to was issued by Dr. Geo. H. Spriggs, 2315 Inwood Place, Cincinnati, who has gained fame, because of his distinguished 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 a 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. I first tried it in a 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. I learned afterwards that he had been treating and doctoring over ten years for his trouble. I learned of a 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, I 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. “I next treated a woman who had been in bed 3 days out of 5, suffering awful stomach pains, caused from gas, bloating and soreness, which had been getting worse for years past. She said in 5 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 a few weeks longer and gained nearly 20 pounds. She says she feels ten years younger, and her appearance certainly shows it. I had another lady tell me Konjola did her more good than 4 years of special dieting. She took Konjola for nervousness 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, stomaflk KBd bowels. The cleansing and invigorating of these important organs is what seems to bring amazing relief and new feelings of health I heartily recommend it and consider it a real Godsend to those who suffer ill-health.” Te Konjola Man is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois & Washington Sts., 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 section.—Advertisement.

and that Mannix is not apprehended—at least not until her new show is financed. “My word! If this being a detective involves many more revues, I shall have to resign. Thank Heaven, though, the lady didn’t attend the cinema Monday night!” When we arrived at the district attorney’s office we found Heath and Markham in consultation. Markham had a pad before him, several pages of which were covered with tabulated and annotated entries. A cloud of cigar smoke enveloped him. Heath sat facing him, his elbows on the table, his chin resting in his hands. He looked pugnacious but disconsolate. “I’m going over the case with the sergeant,” Markham explained, with a brief glance in our direction. “We’re trying to get all tbe 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 doctor's infatuation and his threats, and of the failure of Traffic Officer Phipps to identify Cleaver. “But the more we learn, the worse, apparently, the jumble 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 interview with Mannix didn’t precisely allay suspicions 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 tit of mendacity. “Cleaver lent his car to his bother and lied about it, so that I’d think he was in Boonton Monday at midnight. “And Mannix gives us a number of shifty answers to our questions concerning his relations with the girl. . . . Not an embarrassment of riches.” “I wouldn’t say your information was exactly negligent," observed Vance, taking a chair beside the sergeant. “It may all prove devilish valuable if only it could be put together properly. The difficulty, it appears to me, is that certain parts of the puzzle are missing.

Kidney Pains and Rheumatism Gone Farmer Is Able to Work Again, After Years of Illness. Trying to work a farm while crippled and in constant paint for several years, was the hard task faced by Matt Reiland, Route 4, Stockton, 111. He tells recovery in the following letter: “I suffered from kidney trouble and rheumatism for several years. My back ached so I could hardly bend. My head ached, and the pains in my limbs were very severe. I was anemic, my blood was poor, and I was so weak and dizzy that my farm work was almost impossible. But today life looks entirely different. My rheumatism is all gone and there,are no kinks or pains in my back. My kidney trouble has disappeared, and my sleep is not disturbed. lam eating hearty meals and feel fine in every way. It feels wonderful to have good, rich blood coursing through my veins. I trace all this change to the day I started taking Viuna. My wife and son are both taking it now, with wonderful results. Viuna has surely been a God-send to our family.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggish jowelg, lazy liver anti weak kldnays. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then If you're not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind.

“Find ’em, and I’ll warrant everything will fit beautifully—like a mosaic.” “Easy enough to say ‘find ’em,’” grumbled Markham. “The trouble is to know where to look.” Heath relighted his dead cigar and made an impatient gesture. “You can’t get away from Skeel. He’s the boy that did it and if it wasn’t for Abe Rubin, I’d sweat the truth outa him. “And by the way, Mr. Vance, he had his own private key to the Odell apartment, all right.” He glanced at Markham hesitantly. “I don’t want to look as if I was criticising, sir, but I got a feeling we’re wasting time chasing after these gentlemen friends of Odell— Cleaver and Mannix and this here doctor.” “You may be right.” Markham seemed inclined to agree with him. “However, I’d like to know why Lindquist acted* the way he did.” “Well, that might help some,” Heath compromised. “If the doc was so far gone on Odell as to threaten to shoot her, and if he went off his head when you asked hi mto alibi himself, maybe he could tell us something. Why not throw a little scare into him? His record ain’t any good, anyway.” “An excellent idea,” chimed in 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 supoena if you have to—only see that he comes. And make it as soon after lunch as you can." He tapped on the desk irritably. “If I don’t do anything else, I’m going t* eliminate some of this human flotsam that's cluttering up the case. “And Lindquist is as good as any to start with. “I’ll either develop these various suspicious circumstances into something workable, or I’ll root them up. Then we’ll see where we stand.” Heath shook hands pessimistically and went out. “Poor hapless man!” sighed Vance, looking after him. “He giveth way to all the pangs and fury of despair.” “And so would you,” snapped Markham, “if the newspapers were butchering you for a political holiday. By the way, weren’t you to be a harbinger of glad tidings this noon, or something of the sort?” “I believe I did hold out some such hope.” Vance sat looking meditatively out of the window for several minutes. “Markham, this fellow Mannix lures me like a magnet. He irks and whirrets me. He infests my slumbers. He’s the raven on my bust of Pallas. He plagues me like a banshee.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“Does this jeremiad come under the head of tidings?” “I sha’n’t rest peacefully,” pursued Vance, “until I know where Louey the furrier was between eleven o’clock and midnight Monday. He was somewhere he should not have been. And you, Markham, must find out. “Please make Mannix the second offensive in your assault upon the flotsam. He’ll parley, with the right amount of pessure. “Be brutal, old dear, let him think you suspect him of the throttling. Ask him about the fur model—what’s her name?—Frisbee ” He stopped short and knit his brows. “My eye—oh, my eye! I wonder. "Yes, yes, Markham; you must question him about the fur model. Ask him when he saw her last; and try to look wise and mysterious when you’re doing it.” “See here, Vance”—Markham was exasperated—“you’ve been harping on Mannix for three days. What’s keeping your nose to that scent?” “Intuition sheer inuition. My psychic temperament, don’t y’ know.” “I’d believe that if I hadn’t known you for fifteen years, Markham inspected him shrewdly; then shrugged his shoulders. “I’ll have Mannix on the tapis when I’m through with Lindquist.” (Friday, September 14; 2 p. m.) We lunched in the district attorney’s private sanctum; and at two o’clock Doctor Lindquist was announced. Heath accompanied him, and, from the expression on the sergeant’s face, it was plain he did not at all like his companion. The doctor, at Markham’s request, seated himself facing the district attorney’s desk. “What is the meaning of this new outrage?” he demanded coldly. “Ls it your prerogative to force a citizen to leave his private affairs in order to be bullied?” “It’s my duty to bring murderers to justice,” replied Markham, with equal coldness. “And if any citizen considers that giving aid to the authorities is an outrage, that’s his prerogative. If you have anything to fear by answering my questions, doctor, you are entitled to have your attorney present. Would you care to phone

him to come here now and give you legal protection?” Doctor Lindquist hesitated. “I need no legal protection, sir. Will you be good enough to tell me at once why I was brought here?” to explain a few points which have been discovered regarding your relationship with Miss Odell, and to elucidate—if you care to—your reasons for deceiving me, at our last conference, in regard to that relationship.” “You have, I infer, been prying unwarrantably into my private affairs. I had heard that such practices were once common in Russia. ...” “If the prying was unwarranted, you can, Doctor Lindquist, easily convince me on that point; and whatever we may have learned concerning you will be instantly forgotten. “It is true, is it not, that your interest in Miss Odell went some what beyond mere paternal affection?” “Are not even a man’s sacred sentiments respected by the police of this country?” There was insolent scorn in the doctor’s tone. “Under some conditions, yes; under others, no." Markham controlled his fury admirably. “You need not answer me, of course; but, if you choose to be frank, you may possibly save yourself the humiliation of being questioned publicly by the People’s attorney in a court of law.”
