In Floral, Ark., Lives a Lady Who
Feels That Her Strength Was

Floral, Ark. "I must speak a cood
word for Cardui," writes Mrs. viola
linker, of Ihis place.
"About a month ago I was In very had
health. I was so weak and nervous thai
1 was not able to do my housework.
"My husband bought tnc one bottle ol
Caidm, the woman's tonic. I took it according-
to directions and now 1 am in
good health.
"I think Cardui is a line tonic for weak
women."
And you are not the only lady who
thinks so, Mrs. Baker.
Thousands, like you, have written to
tell of the wonderful benefit Cardui has
been to them.
Cardui contains no minerals, or other
powerful drugs. It contains no glycerin
or oilier mawkish-tasting ingredients.
It is just a pure, natural extract, of
natural vegetable herbs, that have been
found to rcculatc the womanly functions
and strengthen the female system.
All druggists sell Cardui,
Sec yours about it.

"I Decline to Say."
"You are Hiire, Mr Hunt, that your
statement ns to the time Is correct?"
said the coroner, turning again to
him.
"Perfectly nure, sir. It Is my bus
iness to be sure of the time."
"Mr. Carleton," said Mr. Uleiidon,
"there Is an apparent iliscrepaucy
here which It Is advisable for yuu
to explain. If you came Into this
house at a quarter after eleven,
and rang the hells for help at hair
past eleven, what were you doing
In the meantime?"
It was out at last. The coroner's
qucstlui, though quietly put, was
equivalent to an accusation, livery
eye In the room wan turned toward
Carleton and every e;ir waited In
suspense tor ills reply.
At last the answer came. The
dazed uncertain look had returned
to Carleton's race and hi voice
sonndi d mechanical, like that or an
automaton, as he replied, "1 de
cline to say."
"I think, Air. Carleton, you
scarcely realize the gravity or
moment, or the mistake you
making In refusing to answer
can

this
question."
"I have nothing' to say," repeat
ed Carletcn, and his pallor changed
to a Taint angry fliwh of red.
"I am sorry," said Mr. Ilenscn
gently. He seemed to have lost
his pompous manner In his genu
Ine anxiety for his witness, and he
looked sorrowfully nt Carletou's Im
passive, yet stubborn face.
Ah so much hinges on the quo)
tlon of who wroto that paper." he
resumed. "I will make a test now
that ought to convince us all.. Miss
Diipuy, you say you wiote It, I be
lieve." "1 dlil, yes. sir," said Cicely,
slninnierlng a little now, though she
had been culm enough a few min
utes before.
I lien you Know the words on
the paper by roto?"
"Yes. sir," said Cicely, uncertain
or where thin was lending.

the business collego, challenges tho
ten best spellers of the teachers and
Iwyern to a spellln' bee.
It Is with genuine regret that tho
friends of Mrs. C. O. Hunn learn that
Mr. Dunn has decided upon Oklahoma
City ns a porninnent location. While
Mr. and )Mrs. I'4tnn have been in
(tiithrle qulto n while, they never re

always felt there was a possibility of
returning to Ardmore.

Houghton, who will ereot a modern

THERE was a time
when housekeep

But that was before

Implored Cicely clasping her hands
and looking very distressed.
"I not only ask y u. but I direct
you to do It, and do It nt once."
'An attendant handed paper and
pencil to Cicely, and, atter a glance
at Carleton, who did not meet It,
slut began to write.
Though evidently agitated, shu
wiote clearly and evenly, and the
paper she handed to Commit- Heli
con a moment later was practi
cally an exact duplicate or the one
round :n the library table.
"It does noc require a handwriting
expert," said the coroner, "to declare
that tin tie two papers were written
the same hand. The poi":;.insnlp
Is Indeed similar to .Miss Van Nor
man's or whose writing I have hero
many specimens, hut It Is only sim
ilar. It Is by no means identical.
You may all examine these at your
leisure and can only agree to what
I say."
Thu district attorney, who had
been comparing tlie papers, laid
them down with an air or finality
that proved IiIh agreement with tho
statements made,
"And so," went cn .Mr. llenRou,
"granting, as we must, that .Miss
Dttpuy wrote tho paper, we have
nothing whatever to Indicate that
this case Is a suicide. We are
tlieroforo seeking a murderer, ami
our most earnest efforts must lm
made to that end. I trust, Mr. Carle
ton, now that you can no lougar
Ithlmk My-i Van Norman wiroto
tho message, that you will aid us
In our work by stating frankly
how you were occupied during that
quarter-hour which elapsed between
ycur entering this house ami your
raising the nlnrni,"
lint Carleton preserved his stony
calm.
"There was no quarter-hour," he
said; "I may have stepped into the
drawing-room a moment before go
ing to the library, but I gave the
alarm almost immediately on en
tering the house. Certainly Immedi
ately on my discovery of of t!t"
scene In tlie library."
Cicely looked defiantly at Mr
Hunt, wlio In bin turn, looked per
plexed. Tho man had no wish to
insinuate against Mr. Carleton, but,
ns he said, it was his business to
know the time, and he knew that
Mr. Carleton caino Into the house
at a quarter after eleven, and uoL
at half-past.
The pause tliat followed w.n
broken by C ronor llensou's voice
"There s nothing more to be done
at present. Tho Inquest M adjourned
until tomorrow afternoon. Hut wi
have discovered that there has been
a crime committed. There Is no
doubt that Miss Van Norman was
murdered, ami that tlie crime to k

CHAPTER XII.
The peuple rose lowly rrotn their
chairs, and most or them looked as
IT they dlil not quite coniprehenr
what It all meant. Among these
wok Carleton himself. Ho seemed
quite oblivious oT tho Tact that he
was at least tacitly an nccused
man, ami stood quietly, us if await
ing any further developments that
might come.
"look at Scliuyl-r," nald Kitty
French to Fessenden. The two had
withdrawn to a quiet comer lo ills
ciihs the affair. Hut Kitty was do
ing most ol the talking, while Fes
senden was quiet ami seemed pre
occupied. "Of course, I suppose he
must have killed .Madeleine," went
on Kitty, "hut It's so hard to be
lieve it, after all. I've tried to think
or a reason ror It, nnd this Is the
only ono I can think of. They quar
relled yesterday afternoon, and he
went away in a huff. I believe he
came back last night to make It
up with her, and then they quar
reled again, and he stubbed her."
I'Vsrioiulon looked at hor thought
fully, "f think that Hunt man tes
tified accurately," ho said, "And If
so, Carleton was In tho house just
fifteen minutes before he gave the
alarm. Now, fifteen minutes Is an
awfully short tlmo to quarrel with
anybody so desperately that It leads
to a murder."
"That's true; but they both have
very quick tempers. At least Made
leine had. She didn't often do It, but
when she did fly Into a fury It was
as quick as a flnnh. I've never seen
.Mr. Carleton angry, hut I know ho
can be, lor Muddy told mo so."
"Still a quarter of an hour Is too
short a time for a fatal quarrel,
I think. If Carleton killed her he
eaine here for thnt purpose, ami It
was done p.-viiicdltntedly "
"Why do yen say 'If he killed her"?

Looks like the limit of trouble.
But don't miss the next scenet
It's been orovod that sho didn't kill
herself; It's been proved that no
one could enter the house without a
hitch-key, and It's been proved that
the deed was done In that ono hour
between h.iir-p.ist ten and hair-p.-wt
eleven. So It had to bo .Mr, Carlo
ton." "Miss French, you have a logical
mind, and I tluiih you'd make f
clover little detective. Hut you have
overlooked the possibility that She
was killed by some cue In the
house."
"Some of us?" Kitty's look ot
amazement almost made Fessenden
smile.
"Not you or .Miss Gardner," he
said. "Hut a burglar might have
been concealed In tho house."
"I never thought of that!" ex
claimed Kitty, her 'i opening wldo
nt tho thought. "Why, ho might
have killed us all!"
"It Isn't a very plausible theory,"
said Fessenden, unheeding the girl's,
remark, "and yet I could think ot
nothing else, Kvory Instinct of my
mind denies Carloton's guilt. Why,
he isn't that sort of a man!"
"I'erliaiw ho Isn't as good as he
looks," aald Kitty, wagging her
bead wisely. "I know a lot about
li I in. You know he wasn't a bit
In lovo with Alnddy."
"You hinted thnt beroro. And was.
ho really a mero fortune-hunter? I
can't believe that of Carleton. I've
known the man for years."
"lie must have been, or else why
did ho marry her? He's In lovo with,
another girl."
"I don't know who. Hut Madeleine
hinted It to mo only a few days
ago. It made her miserable. And
that's why everybody thought she
