About your
Health
Thing* You, Should'Know
ALCOHOL
I am aware of treacling danger
ous ground in discussing alcohol
even as medicine, it has no other
legitimate use, but that any agent
good for sickness should be des
troyed, I emphatically deny. Gold
leads the world as a basic instiga
tor of crime. But no zealot would
abolish gold. It must be endured
for the good it may do.
More aged people die of pneumo
nia than of any other disease. It
is here that alcohol in medical ad
ministration, is at its best as a
life-saver. It has added years of
• life to those for whom life is most
precious. Alcohol is nearer a spe
cific in the dreaded influenza than
. any other drug we possess. Alco
hol has supported the typhoid vie
tim over the crisis, and started
him on the highway of health.
These virtues should maintain it in
the ranks of our most valuable
medicines. Opium kills. Its habit
is the most tenacious and degrad
ing—yet we never hear about pro
hibition and destruction of the
poppy* The politician cannot use
opium as a monkey-wrench to
throw into somebody’s political ma
chinery, so he permits it to be reg
ulated in a logical, legal way with
j out ostentation, as is being done
today. The abuse of alcohol is
well-known, making of it a very
bad master, instead of a most val
uable servant.

SIR * DUDLEY GLENISTER.
believed to have been the murderer
of James Glenlster, is proven in*
nocent
JAMES * WRAGGE,^ Scotland
Yard detective, who fastens the
guilt on Stephen Colne, former
cabinet minister. Colne takes his
own _Jife ^whlle^Wragge explains
to— ,
KATHLEEN ’GLENI STER,
sister of James Glenister. Kath*
lees s doubt of Wragge’s ability
to clear up the mystery vanishes.
F NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
■J- "And a lot of other things which
p don’t touch the main line of this in*
l quiry,” Wragge continued. “You
will hear of them later, but let us
keep to the point. By ordinary de*
tectivo work I got hold of a diary
which IMrs. Coningsby had stolen
from Trickey, and it gave me my
r;r3t real insight into the case,
though for a while it strengthened
tiie suspicion that Sir Dudley had
killed his cousin.
"Hero are the facts. Vcur brother.
Miss Glenister, went away ts Amer.*
r ca to escape the consequences of a
harmless flirtation with sally Crimes.
That young person, greatly daring,
had built on a few core.e^ commit*
meats the hope that s£*f. miybfc merry
the then heir to the b&rebtficy. She
even went so faf as to go to Sir
Philip and threaten a breach of
promise action. Sir Philip took the
matter seriously, and father and son
wero not on good terms when they
parted. It is probable that Mr.
George went away as much to avoid
tho strained relations at home as
from fear of legal proceedings which
would certainly have gone in his fa*
vor.
“The« Sir Philip died and George
cither aerer heard of his death or he
was too absorbed In his gold-mining
venture to return and claim the title.
Be that as it may. when time went
on and the title remained in abey
ance, Dudley, the next in succession,
sent his clerk Trickey out to America
to trace him. He located George
Olcnister at Lone Wolf City, a min
ing camp in Montana. Trickey
ccbled to hi3 employer for instruc
tionq and received a reply ordering
him to return home without com
municating with George.
“On lr.s arrival in London, Dudley
told Trickey that he' would deal with
the*matter by letter. After much
trouble I got at tho contents of that
letter, and a copy exists which will
bo available ns evidence. In it Dud
ley Informed Gcorce that if he
would come home and meet him at
Beechwood at ten o’clock on the eve
ning of the 7th of June two years
ego be was prepared to make an offer
for financing the gold raino by float
ing it as a company.
“On the face of it that waa fairly ]
conclusive that Sir Dudley had lured
Mr. George back to England and
murdered him so that he might #uo*
coed to the baronetcy. After the
episodo Vf the skeleton Anger dir
Dudley saw tho danger that this
*) view might be accepted by a Judge
i and Jury, and your activities. Visa
Kathleen, eventually drove him t
extreme* which constitute him t
murderer in intent,^tholigh_ not
thank God, in fact. v *. „
“For though h was misled for i
while into a belief that be kills*
George Glenlster, all he had set out
to do in the beginning was to swindle
his cousin out of the gold mine
Hinkley has & record that Dudley
was et Beehcwood on the 7th ol
June that year, and the diary states
that on the 9th he again sent Trickey
to America with instructions to
manufacture) evidence of George
Glenistcr's death at Lone Wolf City.
Trickey carried out his mission so
cleverly that the family solicitors,
who went out later to verify the
facts, were deceived and in turn de*
ceived the High Court into granting
leave to presume George Glenister's
death,
J‘My trouble after these discoveries
was that though I had ample evi
dence for convicting Sir Dudley for
fraud and conspiracy, I had none to
convict him for murdering his cou*
'*WHAT A PERFECT FOOL I
HAVE BEEN/’ SHF- SAID;
sin. And ell the time Mr. Colne was
urging and threatening me. I felt a
nervous breakdown coming on, and
in a fortunate moment I consulted’
Doctor Willoughby Melville, who
had cured me when Mr. Colne nearly
drove me off my head years ago.
Tnen he did it with physic. This
time he did it by handing me a scrap
of paper on which he had written
the name of the Beechwood mur
derer. It was that of the Right Hon
orable Stephen Come, oracketed with
that of Sully Grimes.”
"Perhaps he was pulling your leg,"
said Kathleen rather hysterically.
"No, miss, he wasn’t,” Wragge re
plied with firmness. "At first I had
as much difficulty in bringing the
crime home to Mr. Colne as I had
had in the case of your cousin. He
fought like a cornered rat to the last.
He had suspected that Sir Dudley
was holding you prisoner at th^mlll
and he clutched at that to convince
me of Sir Dudley’s guilt in the mur
der affair. Probably he would have
had you released before if he had not
been keeping the outrage in reserve
&S a lost weapon of defense. When
Doctor Melville gave me that scrap
of paper ho might have known some
thing, for Sally Grltne$. alios Mrs.
Simon Trickcy, alias Miss Maud
Blair, made things quite clear to
night. Whether ehe did it because
she thought she was going to die and
wanted ease her conscience*, or
Cross a desire to Hun'S account* with
„Twmifn?mnn toth
» gentleman who bad thwarted her
matrimonial aims, ia beyond my rea
soning powers.
k “Miss Sally Grime*, always ambi
tious, had two strings to her bow—
Mr. George Glenister and Mr. Ste
phen Colne. Mr. Glenister, rather
than be embroiled with her, fled to
America. Mr. Colne, living a. double
' Ufa—that of the austereiy-respectable
statesman in London, and that of a
> middle-aged debauchee in the coun
l try—had much closer relations with
the future cinema actress than the
rival, who was never really a rival.
When Mr. Glenister arrived at Beech*
> wood Station late on the evening of
[ the 7th of June, Mr. Colne and Sally
met him by chance on the road, and
Colne told the girl to leave them. She
went off home, but before she had
gone very far she heard a shot. Colne
as good as admitted to her the next
day that he had killed Mr. Glenister
from jealousy, thinking that his re
turn would disturb their pleasant re
lations.
“This, of course, gave Miss Grimes
a tremendous pull over the Right
Honorable Stephen, but she failed to
push it so far as to become the wife
of a cabinet minister. Being a wise
wench, knowing the right side for
butter on her bread, she accepted the
only terms she could exact—a hand
some pension which would enable
her to embark on a career of adven
ture in London. There, by one of
those queer kinks in the web of Fate
which even the Yard cannot unravel,
she met and married Mr. Simon
Trickey, the blackmailer of the other
villain in the case."
Kathleen extended her right hand
to Wragge and rested the other on
Norman's shoulder.
“What a perfect fool I have been,"
she said. “I am almost too ashamed
to ask your pardon, Mr. Wragge.
Perhaps the fact of my folloy having
nearly cost me my life will make you
magnanimous. You, too, Norman,
must have been cursing me for a vin
dictive idiot." 1
“You have not much to reproach
yourself for," the inspector made
smiling answer. "Indirectly you
aided the solution by convincing Sir
Dudley that he was liable to be
suspected of the murder, and more
than suspected if his fraudulent con
spiracy with Trickey came to light.
The resulting fear drove him to the
outrageous conduct which, by caus
ing tonight’s catastrophe, was the
means of obtaining final proof from
the mouth of the keeper’s daughter."
“Will Simon Trickey be arrested?"
asked Norman.
"xnpc wm.oe ror tne cniet or my
department to decide,'* replied
Wragge. “But I should surmise not.
Simon is of the kidney that is pretty
sure to round on his partner by turn
ing King’s evidence. He has practi
cally done so already by informing
me of the contents of Sir Dudley’s
letter and by promising me a press
copy of it.
“I should be inclined to let Mr.
Trickey off," remarked Kathleen de
murely. "You see, to some extent he
is in the same boat as myself. He
had got his knife into Dudley and
meant to make things hot for him."
Alf Grinstead loosed off a great
guffaw. "Then I reckon, miss, I'm
in that boat along of you and the
bloke you're talking of. Lord! but I
made fct fair 'ot for that swab on the
stone floor and I’d have made it
’otter if I’d had my service boots
on.”
They . all laughed, and Kathleen
proposed that after their strenuous
day bed was the best place tar them.
. Inspector Wragge was * lone time
going to sleep. His brain was busy
in an attempt to conjure up an an
swer to the question which piqued
his professional curiosity. He had
family ties. He was a good husband
and a good father. But before every
thing he was a detective. Hour had
Doctor Melville managed to write on
that scrap of paper the name *f the
Beechwood murderer and in to doing
freed him forever frem the ruthless j
thrall of Mr. Stephen Colne?
