FRUIT LAXATIVE
i
“California Syrup of Figs” can’t
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.
Every mother realizes, after giving
her children "California Syrup of
Figs” that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and It thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless “fruit
laxative,” and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have a well, playful child
again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remem
ber, a good "inside cleaning” should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep “California
Syrup of Figs” handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a So
lvent bottle of ‘California Syrup of
s’igs,” which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Adv.

"I gathered from what she told me.”
gaid Swain, his face flushing with ang
er. "that she has been praetllly a pris
oner ever since the yogi arrived. Be
sides. even if she had succeeded in
mailing the letter, it wouldn’t have
reached me until too late.”
“In what way too late?”
“Her father seems to have had a.
sudden turn for the worse yesterday:
he became almost violent in insisting
that she consent to his plan. Ho told
her that the life of his own soul, as
well as that of hers, depended upon it.
He threatened—1 don’t know what. The
yogi talked to her afterwards. He. or
course, believed, or pretended to be
lieve. as her father did; moreover, he
told her that her father would certain
ly suffer a serious mental shock if she
refused, perhaps a fatal one. in de
Bpair, she finally agreed, on the condi
tion that she be given three days in
which to prepare herself, if she did
not hear from me in that time, she had
made up her mhid to consent.
Swain stopped again, and I lay back
in my chair, wondering if such things
were possible in this Twentieth cen
tury. here within the boundaries of
Greater New York! My brain reeled at
the absurdity of it!
“Vaughan was undoubtedly suffer
ing from mania.” said Dr. Hlnman, in
a low voice. “The symptoms, as Mr.
Swain describes them, are unmistak
Ub"It was that argument I used,” said
Swain “I told her that, since he was
clearly mad. she must, in self defense
place herself beyond his reach. But
she refused to leave him. Then. I ai
gued, in kindness to him she must
to SOITie lllStltU
tion where he would be taken care ere,
and where he might, in time, regain Ws
sanity. I told her that it would be
criminal folly to permit him to remain
longer under the influence of the yogi.
She had to agree with me; and she
finally consented to sign an affidavit to
the facts as I have told them, and a
petition asking that a commission be
appointed to examine her father. You
were to have drawn up the papers to
day, Mr. Hester, and I was to have
taken them to her for signature tonight.
"That would have settled the mat
ter," said Godfrey, thoughtfully. ‘Its
too bad it wasn’t settled in that way.
What else happened, Mr. Swain?
"Miss Vaughan had grown very
nervous, with all this discussion, and
at last she sprang to her feet and said
she must go, or her father would dis
cover her absence. We rose to leave
the arbor, and at that instant, a
white-robbed figure sprang to her side,
seized her and tore her away from me.
I was too startled for an Instant to
resist; then, as I started toward them,
Marjorie pushed me back.
“‘Go! Go!’ she cried. ‘It is my
fault!’
“But he stopped me. In a voice shak
ing and husky with rage, he warned
me that if I entered the place again,
my life would be forfeit. I can’t re
peat the horrible things he said. I
could see his eyes gleaming like a wild
beast’s. He cursed me. I had never
been cursed before," and Swain smiled
thinly, “and I confess it wasn’t pleas
ant. Then lie led his daughter away.
"I stood staring after them. I didn’t
know what to do. I felt like a mad
man myself. I sat down and tried to
collect my thoughts. I saw that some
new plan must be made—that there was
no hope of meeting Marjorie again. I
was sick with fear for her; 1 thought
of following to the house and compell
ing her to come with me at once. And
then, suddenly, I saw two eyes gleam
ing at me. They were not human eyes
—they were too close together—and
they were swaying gently back and
forth in the air, about a foot from the
ground. I gazed at them, fascinated,
and then I heard a soft, low whistle,
followed by a faint hissing as the eyes
fell forward.
“In a flash. I knew what it was—the
cobra; I knew why it was there—
Vaughan had said my life was forfeit.
I sprang up with a shriek, dashed along
the seat to the door and out into the
darkness. I struck my head against
something—a tree, I suppose; but I
kept on, and reached the wall and got
over it somehow—it is all confused,
after that. I seem to remember hear
ing Marjorie scream, and finding her
lying beside he# father, who was dead
—but I can’t put things together," and
he rubbed his head helplessly.
“i'll put them together for you.” said
Godfrey. “When you ran into the tree,
you suffered a partial concussion. It's
lucky it wasn’t total, or Toto would
have got you!”
I OIU .
"That, I believe. Is the cobra's
name," explained Godfrey, with a
smile: "unless, of course, there are two
of them.” And lie told Swain in detail
of the events which had followed.
Swain listened with staring eyes. I
did not blame him. Indeed, I felt that
my own eyes were staring a little,
though l already knew the story. But
Godfrey, with a gift or narration horn
of long newspaper experience, tokl it
in a way that made its horror salient
and left one gasping.
"There is one question I want to ask
you, Swain,” he said, in conclusion,
‘‘anrl I want you to think carefully be
fore you answer it. During your alter
cation with Mr. Vaughan, did you at
any time touch him?”
“Touch film? No, of course not," and
Swain shook his head decidedly.
“You are sure of that?” asked God
frey earnestly.
“Perfectly sure." said Swain, looking
at him In astonishment. "I was never
within three feet of him."
Godfrey sprang to l.is feet with a
gesture of relief
"I seem to need a cocktail,” he said.
In another tone. “Isn't that the pre
scription for all of us. doctor'?”
“Yes." assented Hlninan, smiling,
“and, after that, complete change of
subject!”
CHAPTER XII.
GUESSES AT THE RIDDI/E.
We tried to follow Dr. Hinman's pre
scription. but not witli any great suc
cess. for it is difficult to talk about one
thing and think about another. So the
doctor took himself off, before long,
and Swain announced that he himself
would have to return to the city. He
had come out without so much as a
tooth brush, lie pointed out; his trous
ers were in a lamentable condition,
and, while Godfrey’s coat was welcome,
it was far from a perfect fit.
"Which reminds me,” he added, "that

I don’t know what has become of my
own coat and shirt."
I looked at Godfrey quickly.
“No, I forgot them," he said. "They
are over in the library at Elmhurst,"
he added to Swain. “You can get them
tomorrow."
"I shall have to be there tomorrow,
then'?”
“Yes, at the Inquest; I've promised
to produce you there," I said.
"At what time?"
“You'd belter be there by 10."
"Very well; that's all the more rea
son for getting back to my base of
supplies. If I went on the stand look
'JS ,ike this, the jury would probably
think I was the murderer!” he added,
laughing.
My answering smile was decidedly
thin. Godfrey did not even try to
force one.
"Wait a few minutes," he suggested,
and I'll take you down in my car.

apologetically. ‘Tm fur from an ideal
host—but you’ll find some books on
my desk that may Interest you—I got.
them up today. Take a look at them
after dinner."
Ho went back to bring out his car,
and Swain sat down again beside me.
“Mr. Lester," he said, in a low voice,
"I hope you haven’t forgotten your
promise."
“What promise?"
“To put Miss Vaughan in a safe
place and to look after her Interests."
“No,” I Bald, “I haven’t forgotten. I
am going to ask to see her after the
inquest tomorrow. If she wishes us
to represent her, we will."
"And to protect her,” he added
quickly. "She hasn’t even a mad fa
ther now!"
“She’s safe enough for the present,”
I pointed out. “Dr. Ulema n has em
ployed another nurse, so that one is
with her all the time.”
x won i uu satisfied," said swain,
‘until you get her out of that house
and away from those damned Hindus.
One nurse, or even two, wouldn’t stop
them."
“Step them from what?”
"I don’t know," and he twisted his
fingers helplessly.
“Well, the police will stop them.
There are three er four men on duty
there, with orders to let no one in or
out.”
His face brightened.
“Ah, that’s better.” he said. “I didn’t
know that. How long will they be
there?”
"Till after the inquest, anyway.”
“And you will see Miss Vaughan aft
er the inquest?”
“Yes.”
"And urge her to go to Mr. and Mrs.
Royce ?”
“Yes—but I don’t think she’ll need
much urging. I'll get a note from Mrs.
Royce. I’ll telephone to Mr. Royce
now, and you can stop and get the note
as you come up In the mornimr."
Godfrey’s car glided up the drive and
stopped at the porch. Swain held out
his hand and clasped mine warmly.
"Thank you, Mr. Lester,” he said;
and a moment later the car turned In
to the highway and passed from sight.
Then I went In, got Mr. Royce
on the ’phone, and gave him a brief
outline of the incidents of the night
before. He listened with an eoctama- 1
tion of astonishment from time to time,
and assented heartily when I suggested i
that Miss Vaughan might be placed in ■
Mrs. Royce’s care temporarily.
“She’s a beautiful grfrl," I concluded, i
'and very young. I agree with Swain
that she mustn’t be left alone in that
house.’’ i
"Certainly she mustn’t,” said my :
partner. "I’ll have Mrs. Royce write
the note, and get a room ready for i
her.”
"Of course,” I said, “it’s possible she :
won’t come—though I believe she’ll be '■
glad to. Or there may be a family
lawyer who wHl want to look after her.
Only she didn’t appear to know of any
when she was talking to Swain.”
“Well, bring her along if you can,”
said Mr. Royce. “We’ll be glad to have
her. And take your time about com
ing back, if you’re needed up there. :
We’re got ting along all right.”
I thanked him, and hung up; and,
presently, Mrs. Hargis came to sum
mon me to dinner. That meal over, I I
went In to Godfrey’s desk to see what

to the religions of India, There was i
Sir Monier Williams’ “Brahmanism i
and Hinduism,” Hopkins’ "The Relig
ions of India,” a work on crystalloman- >
cy, Mr. Lloyd Tuokey’s standard work '1
an “Hypnotism and Suggestion,” and
some half dozen others whose titles I
have forgotten. And, as I looked at
them, I began to understand one rea- I
son for Godfrey’s success as a solver
it mysteries—no detail of a subject
ever escaped him.
i Lit my pipt:, uuwii, iuiu whs soon
loep in tlie lore of the east. I must 1'
confess that I did not make much of ' i
It. In that maze of superstition, the ^'
most I could do was to pick up a thread ! :
here and there. The yogi had referred •
to the White Night of Siva, and I soon
Found out that Siva is one of the gods i
if Hinduism—one of a great trilogy— i
Hrahma the creator, Vishnu the pre
server, and Siva the destroyer. He had ;
llso spoken of the attributes of Kali,
tnd, after a little further search, I dis
covered that Kali was Siva’s wife—a ,
most unprepossessing and fiendish fe
male.
But when I passed on to Hinduism ;
itself, and tried to understand its ten
ets and its sects, I soon found myself j
cut of my depth. They were so jum- ,
bled, so multitudinous, and so diverse i
that I could get no clear idea of them. ;
1 read of the Vedas, the tlpanishads, ;
the Brahmanas; of metaphysical ab- i
^tractions too tenuous to grasp; of j
kurna or action, of mays or Illusion, i
md I know not what “tangled Jumble ,
bf ghosts and demons, demi-gods, and ■
Jeifled saints, household gods, village ]
gods, tribal gods, universal gods, with j
their countless shrines and temples,
tnd din of discordant rites.” At last,
in despair, I gave it up, and turned to
the book on crystallomancy.
Here, at least, was something com
prehcnsihle. If not altogether believ
able. and 1 read with Interest of the
antiquity of crystal gazing as a means
bf inducing hallucination for the pur- 1
pose of seeking Information not to be '
gained by any normal means. I read
bt Its use in China, in Assyria, in
Egypt, In Arabia, in India, in Greece
md Rome; of bow its practitioners in 1
the Middle Ages were looked upon as :
heretics and burnt at the stake or 1
broken on the wheel; of the famous Dr.
Dee, and so down to the present time,
rhe scryers or seers sometimes used i
mirrors, sometimes vessels filled with I
water, but usually a polished stone, and
beryl was especially esteemed.
The effect of gazing at these intent
ly I'or a time was to abstract the mind
from uoianal r<’nsury impressions, and
to induce a state of partial hypnosis,
luring width the scryer claimed he
rollld perceive in the crystal dream
pictures of greut vividness, scenes at
i distance, occurrences of the past,
inrt of the future.
1 was still deep in this, when 1
heard a step outside, the door opened,
ind Godfrey came in. He smiled when
he saw what I was doing.
"How have you been getting ulong?"
he asked.
"Not very well,” and 1 threw the
hook back on the table. "The crystal
?azlng isn't so bad—one can under
stand that; but the jumble of abstrac
tions which the Hindus call religion is
too much for me. 1 didn't know it was
to lute" 1 added, and looked at my
watch; but it was not yet 11 o’clock.
"I'm earlier than usual,” said God
frey. "I cut loose as soon as I could,
because I thought we'd better talk
things over. I saw Sitnmonds in town
tonight."
"Ah,” I said; "and what did he tell
>'0U?"
"Nothing I didn't know already. The
police have discovered nothing new—

intU tomorrow. Simmonds did, how
jver, regale me with his theory of the
3ase. He says the murder was done
sither by one of the Hindus or by
,'oung Swain.”
"What do you think?” I asked.
"I'm inclined to agree with Slm
nonds,” said Godfrey grimly. "With
the emphasis on the Hindus,” be add
'd, seeing thelook on my face. "I

"Neither do 1,” I agreed, heartily. "In
’act such a theory 1b too absurd to
iiscuss.”
“Just the same,” said Godfrey, slow
y, "I’m glad he didn’t touch Vaughan.
If he had happened to selae him by the
peck, while they were struggling to
fether—in other words, if those finger
prints Goldberger found had happened
:o be Swain’s—tilings would have
ooked bad for him. I'm hoping they'll
turn out to belong to one of the Htn
lus—but, as I said to Goldberger, I'm
ifraid that’s too good to be true.”
“Which one of the Hindus ?” I asked
"Oh. the Thug, of course.”
I sat bolt upright.
"The Thug?” I echoed.
"Didn’t you get that tar?" and God
'rey picked up one of the books and
•an rapidly through the pages. "You
'emember we found him squatting an
;he floor with a rag and a tooth and
i bone in front of him?"
"Yes.”
"And do you remember how the yogi
lesertbed them, when Goldberger asked
aim about them?"
"Very distinctly—he called them the
ittributes of Kail.”
“Now listen to this: ‘The Thugs
ire a religious fraternity, committing
nurders In honor at Kali, the wife

;hat she presented her worshipers with
three things, the hem of her lower gar

it me, and then went on: “ 'But the

ind threw It on the table. "Don't you

"Yes,” I saKI, thoughtfully. "And the
rogi—Is he also a Thug?”
"Oh, no; a White Priest of Siva
3<mld never be a Thug. The worship

"All these fellows are frauds, more .

"But, Godfrey,” I protested, “he Is no

Hospitals are great and necessary institutions, but they
should be the last resort for women who suffer with ills
peculiar to their sex. Many letters on file in the Pinkham

women after they have been recommended to submit to an
operation have been made well by Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound. Here are three such letters. All
sick women should read them.

he told me I must have an operation for a female
trouble, and I hated to have it done as I had been
