Synopsis . Professor Norton, has discovered that a valuable Peruvian dagger has been btolen from the museum. He consults Craig Kennedy who finds foot rrlnts in mummy cabinet . "I may even be able to determine which of a number of individual pairs
of shoes made the marks. I cannot tell that yet, until I study them. Walter, I wish you'd go over to my laboratory. In the second right-hand drawer of my desk you'll find a package of paper. I'd like to have it" , "Don't you think you ought to preserve the marks?" I heard Norton hint, as I left. He had been watching Ken-

nedy in open-eyed amazement and interest. "Exactly; what I am sending Walter to do," he returned. "I have some specially prepared paper that will take those dust marks up and give me a perfect replica.'! ... i - I hurried ' back as fast as I could, and Kennedy bent to the task of preserving the marks. "Have you any idea who might have an object in stealing the dagger?" Kennedy asked, when he had finished. Norton shrugged his shoulders. "I believe some weird superstitions were connected -with it," he replied.. "It has a three-sided blade, and, as I told you, both the blade and the hilt were covered with' peculiar markings." " There seemed to be nothing more that could be discovered from a further examinaton of the Museum. It was plain enough that thetbief must have let himself out of a" side door which had a spring lock on it . and closed itself. Not a mark or scratch was to be found on any of the, window or door locks; nothing else seemed to have been disturbed. Evidently the thief had been after that one, to him priceless, object. Having got it, he was content to get

treasures, some of which were even
intrinsically valuable for the metal and precious stones in them. The whole affair seemed so strange to me, however, that, somehow, I could not help wondering whether Norton had told us the whole or only half the story as he knew it about the dagger and its history. Still talking with the archseologist, Kennedy and I returned to his laboratory. We had scarcely reached the door when we heard the telephone ringing insistently. I answered, and it happened to be a call for me. It was the editor of the Star endeavoring to catch me, before I started downtown to the office, in order to give me an assignment. "That's strange," I exclaimed, hanging up the receiver and turning to Craig. "I've got to go out on a murder case " "An interesting case?" asked Craig, interrupting his own train of investigation with a flash of professional interest. "Why, a man has been murdered in his apartment on Central Park, West, I believe. Luis de Mendoza is the name, and it seems "Don Luis de Mendoza?" repeated Norton, with a startled exclamation. "Why, he was an influential Peruvian, a man of affairs in his country, and an accomplished scholar. I I if you don't mind, I'd like to go over with you. I know the Mendozas." Kennedy was watching Norton's face
keenly. "I think I'll go, too, Walter," he decided. "You won't lack assistants on this story, apparently." "Perhaps you can be of some assistance to them, also," put in Norton to Kennedy, as we left It was only a short ride downtown, and our cab soon pulled up before a rather ornate entrance of a large apartment in one. of the most exclusive sections of the city. We jumped out and entered, succeeding in making our: way to the sixth floor, where Mendoza lived, without interference from the hall-boy, who had been completely swamped by the rush that followed the excitement of finding one of the tenants murdered. - There was no missing the place. The hall had been taken over by reporters, who had established themselves there, terrible as an army with concealed pads and pencils. From one of the morning men already there I leaned that our friend Dr. Leslie,' the coroner, was already in charge. . - Somehow, whether it was through , Kennedy's acquaintance with Dr. Leslie or Norton's acquaintance with the Mendozas arid the Spanish tongue, we found ourselves beyond the barrier of the door which shut out my rivals. As we stood for a moment in a handsome and tastefully furnished living room a young lady passed through hurriedly. She paused in the middle of
the room as she saw us and eyed us tremulously, as though to ask us why we bad intruded. It was a rather awkward situation.' Quickly Norton came to the rescue. I hope you will pardon" me. Senorita," he bowed in perfect Spanish, "but " "Oh, Professor Norton, it is you!" she cried in English, recognizing him. "I'm so nervous that I didnlt see you at first." . . She glanced from bim to us, inquiringly. I recollected that my editor had mentioned a daughter who might prove to be an interesting and important figure in the mystery. She spoke in an overwrought, agitated tone. I studied her furtively. Inez de Mendoza was unmistakably beautiful, of the dark Spanish type, with soft brown eyes that appealed to one when she talked, and a figure which at any less tragic moment one might have been pardoned for admiring. Her soft olive skin, masses of dark hair, and lustrous, almost voluptuous,' eyes contrasted "wonderfully the finely -chiselled lines of her nose, the firm chin, and graceful throat and neck. Here .one recognized a girl of character and family in the depths of whose soul smouldered all the passion of a fiery race. "I hope you iWill pardon me for intruding," Norton repeated. "Believe me, it is hot with mere idle curiosity.
Let me introduce my friend, Professor Kennedy, the scientific detective, of whom you have heard, no doubt. This is his assistant, Mr. Jameson, of the Star. I thought perhaps they might stand between you and that crowd in the hall," he added, motioning toward the reporters on the other side of the door. "You can trust them absolutely. I'm sure that if there is anything any of us can do to aid you in in your trouble, you may be sure that we are at your service." .... More Tomorrow.

It is doubtful of there is a better known or more highly respected man in Richmond than Capt. H. F. Miller, for thirty-three years at the head of the local organization of the Salvation Army, who lives at 37 South Fourth street, this city. The desire of Capt. Miller to extend a helping hand to others has always been one of the dominating traits of his character. It is not unusual, therefore, that after trying Tanlac, the Master Medicine, and deriving great benefit through its use, Capt. Miller went to the Tanlac Man at the Sixth and Main streets drug store of Clem Thistlethwaite and volunteed a statement regarding his relief, hoping that others might be benefitted by what he had to say. "Some time ago I suffered from a general physical breakdown," Capt. MHler said. "I lacked my former strength and health and although I tried medicine after medicine I could find nothing that would build me up. I felt tired and weak and worn out all the time. My stomach was in a very poor condition. I had no appetite and I didn't relish what I ate. I stopped eating breakfast, entirely. ' "One day a" friend told me about Tanlac. He described several instances ' where this medicine had proved beneficial and I decided to try
it. I've taken Tanlac now and I feel like a different person in every respect. It has built me up all over. In fact I've gained thirty-five pounds since I began taking Tanlac. I was losing all interest in my surroundings before taking Tanlac but it's different now. My work is a pleasure and I take a new interest in everything. "I want to recommend Tanlac because of the good it has done me. I shall insist that all my friends, who are in my former condition, give this medicine a trial." "As a system builder, following an attack of illness, or as a strength producer and general upbuilder after a general breakdown such as Capt. Miller describes,-Tanlac has no superior," the Tanlac Man, who is meeting the public of Richmond at the Sixth and Main streets drug store of Clem Thistlewaite said yesterday. "To weak, run down, half-sick men and women all over the country Tanlac's work is proving a revelation. In thousands of cases of this kind Tanlac has proved most beneficial." Tanlac is now being introduced in Richmond at the Sixth and Main streets store of Clem Thistlethwaite where a special Tanlac representative is explaining the new medicine to the public daily. It also may be obtained at Thistlethwaite's other stores. Adv.

WHAT OF THAT PROMISE TO
THE COST if LIVING?
Food prices have gone higher, higher, higher under the Democratic regime that promised in its platform lower food prices until now they have mounted to figures that are staggering. This is the tremendous and almost unbearable price the people are paying for bloodstained, speculative, fictitious "Prosperity" that filches from the average man's pocket-book vastly more that it puts in. The increase in the cost of living in this country in the past year, like the extravagance of the Democratic Congress, smashes all records, and is bringing hardship into hundreds of thousands of homes. Democrats cannot at once claim credit for the "prosperity" produced by war and at the same time escape responsibility for the increased cost of living by blaming that upon the war. Commodity prices for 1916, says Bradstreet's financial review, issued September 20th in New York, axe going up at an unprecedented rate." For the whole country the price index number, arrived at by totaling the prices per pound of 96 articles of the most common use, was 11.7853 for September 1, 1916, as against 9.8034 for September 1, 1915, and 8.6566 for August 1, 1914 practically the same as on September 1, 1912. In other words, commodities which cost B6 cents in 1914 and 98 cents in 1915, now cost $1.18. Bradstreet's continues: s "It is interesting to note that the breadstuff's group shows' a rise of 42 per cent over last year, provisions have risen 26 per cent, hide and leather 21 per cent, and textile - 33 per cent" Those who go to buy shoes this fall find that shoes that sold last year for $2.50, are now $3.25 or more; $5 shoes are $7 or more. Clothing has gone up 25 per cent, and merchants are unable to get quotations on clothes for delivery next spring, but another hoist of 25 is expected. Calico, linen, poplin, broadcloth, serges, cambric, have gone up from 10 to 50 per cent in price.

blood-stained prosperity!
In increased cost of living the people of the United States are paying three dollars for every dollar of the total exports of the United States and six dollars for every dollar we are to the good as a nation in our transactions with foreign countries. The profits accruing from this vast foreign trade, incident to the European war, go to the fortunate, few, while the burdens, becoming almost unbearable, are being heaped upon the backs of the many. And this under an administration which promised to abolish the high cost of living, end
which professes attachment to the welfare of the American masses.
