The reporter looked reflectively from the little ■ ■! m’.e in the forehead of the grisly tun m relic to the dilapidated trunk, lying ' i.- in it liad fallen from a pile of Its "It's certainly not suicide,’* he re f ifd somberly. Then to the woman: Just what happened? How did you find it?” I v . • houre cleanin’,” fhe muttered. “Fir: t time I’d touched this room in five -ever since I bought the business. The trunk fell down and—that—rolled ‘•ut.’’ Hi jo shuddered violently. "Who'll you buy it from?” asked Cado gan. A Frenchman, Henri Theophlle. TTe hinvrd mo the attic then, and the trunk .is there. Honest to goodness, mister, that’s all 1 know about it:" and she start ed to cry. The chief nf dotectlves soothed her with rough kindliness end went out with her. taking the skull. Grant started to follow *nl hesitated. Another look at the trunk wouldn’t hurt. His nerves were good. There was very little to see, however. A faded Inscription on the side showed that It might have belonged to one "A. }>. Rouen," but that was absolutely all - until the police reporter Investigated a bulge In tho lining and found the faint photograph of a pretty young girl In a ball dress with absurd puffs on the shoul ders. He turned It over and on the back was, "A mon eherie, Alphonse Darnac. Your Babctte. Mar. 6. 190*5.” "Alphonse Darnac, eh?" muttered Grant. And ‘A. D., Rouen.* H’m! 1 rather think this is a find! But how tho douce Is one to solve a mystery may bo ten years old with only three names to go on?” Thoughtfully ho joined tho others down stairs, and shortly after was hack at Tho t'hroniele office with the photograph. Oa • iognn knew that it was rafo in the care of tho young reporter. Grant laid tho matter before Mansfield, the city editor, •uul chased an office boy to the ‘‘morgue," where photographs, cuts and clippings are kept filed In every newspaper office. Pres ently the boy returned with ah envelope. Grant studied the faded clipping in if • ugerly, then passed it to his chief with i satisfied grunt. "There you are! Dated April 10, 1906.

Gently the chief detective escorted her back to tho table. “We don't suspect you of Daroac'rt murder," he said, eyeing her keenly, "but you’ll have to tell ns what you know' about it.” The young woman wrung her hands.

Prof. Hertzog Praises This Perfect Laxative Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin An Ideal Remedy For Con stipation In every family there is more or less occasion for a laxative remedy. It is to meet this need-that Dr. Cald well’s Syrup Pepsin is prepared, and that this combination of simple laxa tive herbs with pepsin fulfills Its pur pose is proven by its place in thou sands of American homes. Prof. I-’. J. C. Hertzog, the well known linguist, 2341 North Orianna St., Philadephia, Pa., wrote to Dr. Caldwell that he had used Dr Cald well's Syrup Pepsin in his household with excellent results and that he and his family consider it indeed a friend in need, and always keep a bottle o it on band. Constipation is the direct cause of much serious illness and is a condi tion that should never be neglected. Harsh cathartics and violent purga tives should never be employed to re lieve constipation, because the very violence of their action shocks the entire system. A mild laxative, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far preferable, being mild and gentle in its action, without griping or other pain or discomfort; its freedom from all opiate or narcotic dings makes it ar- idea1 remedy l'or children. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is sol 1 in drug stores everywhere for ftlty cents a 1k>u!p. To avoid imitations an ineffective substitutes be sure to get Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. See that a facsimile of Dr. Caldwell's sig nature and his portrait appear on the yellow carton in which the bottle is packed. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. R.
