"A medicine that will play such
1 a remarkable part in one's life as
Tanlac has in mine certainly de
serves the highest praise," said Ora
E. Petree of 4335 Kenman avenue,
Chicago, in a conversation with
friends at the Guster Hotel in
Galesburg, recently. Mr. Petree
who was for fourteen years sales
" man and district manager of Swift
' & Company, resigned his position
with this Company March first, this
year, and has since gone into busi
ness for himself.
"It was over twelve years ago,"
he continued"that I began having
indigestion and the trouble soon got
to be serious. Nolhing seemed-o

" and strength rapidly. Gas would
form on my stomach after eating
-and keep me in misery for hours.
I would often bloat badly and at
these times my heart would pal

--me. During these attacks I would
."become so dizzy that I had to be
careful to "keep from falling. I
was failing so fast that I took the
matter up with the best specialist
we have in Chicago and was ad-
vised that I was suffering from

this I determined to stay with the

any degree, realized. On the oth
er hand I gradually became worse
and had about made up my mind
to resign my position and go to

suffering was not only temble, but
almost continuous. One day I was
speaking with a friend of mine
about my condition and incidentally
spoke of my intentions of giving

THE ' ,
WOMAN IN BLACK
By EDMUND (CLERIHEW BENTLEYK
Copjrrifht. Ill, by
, CHAPTER XVIII.
The Woman in Black.
The , sea; broke raging upon the
foot, of the cliff under a good
breeze; the sun flooded the land
with life from a dappled blue sky. In
this oerfection of English weather,
Trent' who had slept ill, went down
befpre 8 o'clock to a pool among
the rocks, the direction of which
had been given him, and dived deep
into clear water. Between vast gray
boulders he swam out to the tossing
open, forced himself some little way
against a coast-wise current and
then returned to his ref uge pattered
and refreshed. Ten minutes later
he was scaling the cliff again, and
his mind, cleared for the moment of
a heavy disgust for the affair he had
in hand, was turning over his plans
for the morning.
It was the day of the inquest, the
day after his arrival in the place.
He had carried matters not much
farther after parting with the Amer
ican on the road to eishopsbridge.
In the afternoon he had walked
from the inn into the town, accom
panied by Mr. Cupples and had there
made certain purchases at a chem
ist's shop, conferred privately for
some time with a photographer,
sent off a reply-paid telegram, and
made an inquiry at the telephone
exchange. He had aid but little
Sbout the case to Mr. Cupples, who
seemed incurious on his. side, and
nothing at all about the results of
his investigation or the steps he
was about to take. After their re
turn from Bishopsbridge, Trent had
written a long dispatch for the
Record, and sent it to be tele
graphed by the proud hands of the
paper's local representative.
This morning as he scaled the
clifjf he told himself that he had
never taken yd a "case he liked so
little, or which absorbed him so
much. The more he contemplated
it in the golden sunshine of this
new day, the more evil and the more
challenging it appeared. AH that he
suspected and all that he almost
knew had occupied his questing
brain for hours to the exclusion of
sleep; and in this glorious light and
air. though washed in body and
spirit by' the fierce purity of the sea,
he only saw the more clearly the
darkness of the guilt in which he
believed, and was more bitterly re
pelled by the motive at which he
guessed. But now at least his zeal
was awake again, and the sense of
the Wunt quickened. He would
neither slacken nor spare; here need
be no compunction. In the course
of the day, he hoped, his net would
be .complete. He had work to do in
the -morning; and with very vivid
expectancy, though not much se
rious hope, he awaited the answer
to the telegram which he had shot
into the sky, as it were, the day
before. '
The path back to the hotel wound
fot soe way along the top of the
cliff, and oh nearing a spot he had
marked from the sea level, where
the face had fallen away long ago,
he approached the edge and looked
down, hoping to follow with vhis
eyes the most delicately beautiful of
all the movement of water, the wash
of a light sea over broken rock. But
no rock was there.. A few feet be
low him a broad ledge stood out, a
rough platform as large as a great
loom, thickly grown with wiry grass
and walled in steeply on three sides.
There, close to the verge where the
cliff at last dropped ysheer, a wom
an was sitting, her -arms about her
drawn' up knees, her eyes fixed on
the trailing smoke of a distant ,liner,
her face full of some dream.
This woman seemed to Trent,
whose training had taught him to
live in his eyes, to make the most
beautiful picture he had ever seen.
Her face of southern pallor, touched
by the kiss of the wind with color
on the cheek, presented to him a
profile of delicate . regularity in
which there was nothing hard;
nevertheless the black brows bend
ind'down toward the point where
they almost met gave her in repose

a lebk of something like severity,
strangely redeemed by the . open
curves of the month. Trent said to
himself that the absurdity or other
wise of a lover writing sonnets to
his mistress's eyebrow deoended
After all on the quality of the eye
brow. Her nose was of the straight
and fine sort, . exquisitely escaping
ine peranum or 100 mucn length.
Her hat lay pinned to the grass be
side her, and the lively breeze play
ed with her thick dark hair, blowing
backward the two broad bandeaux
that should have covered much of
her-forehead, and agitating, a hun
dred tiny curls from the mass gath
ered at the nape.
t very mine aooui ine laav in
black, from her shoes of suede to
the hat that she had discarded: lus
tcrless " black covered her to her
bare throat All she wore was fine
and well out on. Dream v and
delicate of spirit as her looks- de
clared her, it was very plain that
she was long practised as only a
woman' grown can be in dressing
well, the oldest of the arts, and had
her touch of primal joy m the ex
cellence of the body that was so ad
mirably curved now in the attitude
of embraced knees. With the sug
gestion of French taste Jn - her
clothes, she made a very modern fig
ure seated there, until one looked at
her face and saw the glow and tri
umph of all vigorous beings that
ever faced sun and wind and sea'
together in the prime of the year.
One saw, too, a womanhood unmix
ed and vigorous, unconsciously sure
of itself. ' t
Trent, who bad halted only for a
moment in the surprise of seeing the
woman in black, had passed by on
the cliff above her, perceiving and
feeling as he went the things set
down. At all times his keen vision
and active brain took in and tasted
details with an easy swiftness that
was marvelous to men of slower
chemistry; the need to stare, he
held, was evidence of blindness.
Now the, feeling of beauty was
awakened and exultant and doubled
the power of his sense. In these in
stants a picture was printed on his
memory that would never pass
away.
As he went by unheard on the
turf the woman, still alone with her
thoughts, suddenly moved. She un
clasped her long hands from about
her knees, stretched her limbs and
body with feline grace, then slowly
raised her head and extended her
arms with open, curving fingers, as
if to gather to her all the glory and
overwhelming sanity of the morn
ing. This was a gesture not to be
mistaken; it was a gesture of free
dom, the movement of a soul's reso
lution to be, to possess, to go for
ward, perhaps to enjoy.
So he saw her for an instant as
he passed, and he did not turn. He
knew suddenly who the woman
must be. and it was as it a curtain
of gloom were drawn between him
and the splendor of the day.
You were planning to go to
White Gables before the inquest I
think," remarked Trent to Mr. Cup
ples as they finished their break
fast "You ought to be off, if you
are to get back to the court in time.
I have something to attend to there
myself, so we might walk up to
gether. I will just go and get my
camera."
"By all means," Mr. Cupples an
swered; and they set off at once in
the ever-growing warmth of the
morning. The roof of White
Gables, a surly patch of dull red
against the dark trees, seemed to
harmonize with Trent's mood; he
felt heavy, sinister and troubled. If
a blow must fall, that might strike
down that creature radiant of beauty
and life whom he had seen that
morning, he did not wish it to come
from his hand. An exaggerated
chivalry had lived in him since the
first teachings of his mother; but at
this moment the horror of bruising
anything so lovely was almost as
much the artist's revulsion as the
gentleman's. On the other hand,
vas the hunt to end in nothing?
The quality" of the ffair was such
that the thought of forbearance was
an agony. J. here never -was such
a case; and he alone, he was con
fident, held the truth of it under his
hand. At least he determined, that
day Should show whether what he
believed was a delusion. He would
trample his compunction underfoot
until he was quite sure that there
was any call for it That same
morning he ould know.
As they entered at the gate of the
drive they saw Marlowe and. the
American standing in talk before the
front door. In the shadow of the
porch was the lady in black.
She saw them, and came gravely
forward over the lawn, moving as
Trent had known that she would
move, erect and balanced, stepping
lightly. When she welcomed him
on Mr. Cupples' presentation, ' her
eyes of golden-flecked brown ob
served him kindly. In her pale com
posure, worn as the mask of dis
tress, there was no trace of the
emotion that had seemed a halo
about her head on the ledge of the
cliff. , She spoke the appropriate
commonplace in a low. and even
voice. After a few words ta Mr.
Cupples she turned her eyes on
Trent again.
"I hope you will succeed," she
s2id earnestly. ."Do, you think you
will succeed?" v
He made his mind up as the
words left her lips. He said: "I
believe I shall do so, Mrs. Mander
son. When I have the case suffi
ciently complete I shall ask you to
let me see you and tell you about
it It may be necessary to consult
you before the facts are published."
She looked puzzled, and distress
showed for an instant in her eyes.
"If it is necessary, of course you
shall do so," she said.
On the brink of his next speech
Trent hesitated. He remembered
that the lady ha1 not wished to re
peat to him the story already given
to the inspector or to be question
ed at all. He was not unconscious
that he desired to hear her voice and
watch her face a little longer, if it
might be; but the matter he had to
mention really troubled his mind, it
was a queer thing that fitted no
where into the pattern within whose
corners he had by this time brought
the other queer things in the case,
It was very possible that she could
explain it away in a breath; it was
unlikely that any one else could. "He
summoned his resolution,
j "You have been so kind," he said,
' in allowing me access to the house
and every opportunity of studying
the case, that I am going to. ask
leave to put a question or two to
yourself nothing that you would
rather not " answer. I , think.
May I?".
She glanced at him ,wearily -"It
would be stupid of me to refuse.
Ask your questions, MrT Trent."
"It's only this," said Trent hur
riedly. "We know that your hus
band lately drew an unusually large
sum of ready money from his Lon
don bankers, and was keeping it
here. It is here now, in fact Have
you any idea why he should have
done that?" : a i r.
She opened' her eyes in astonish
ment. "I cannot imagine," .she said.
"I did not know he had done so. I
am very much surprised to hear
it" . .- ' ,
"Why is it surprising?"
"I thought my husband had very
little nVpney in the house, On Sun
day night just before he went out
in the motor, he came into the
drawing room where I was sitting.
He seemed to be irritated about
something, and asked me at-tfnee if
I had any notes or gold I could let
him have until next day. I was sur
prised at that, because he was never
without money; he made it a rule

Lillian consulted her wrist watch

"We have plenty of timet"' she
said, turning, to me with an apolo

"I forgot you don't know all that

It was curious, certainly, said
Trent, starting into the distance. Mr.

of the arrangements for the inquest,

Marlowe was pacing slowly upon
