Some of the blood from this cut must have got upon the handle when he was walking out to the bluffs. In support of this statement he showed a partly healed cut on bis right hand. The sheriff believe@ the story to be « fabrication, and in bis own mind had little doubt that Chapin had killed Burke. The money bess incurred through him and the humiliation afterward re- ceived at his hands were to the sheriff's mind ample motive for the deed. The presence of Burke’s boat im its usual place on the east side of the river and the fact that ‘his watch and money and other valuables were not missing were matters that he would study into and explain later.

THE DETECTIVE CHEWS GUM. Eugene Chapin was not without ‘friends. One.of the most powerful was old General Kerr, a man of wealth and position in the neighboring town of HASZARD & MOORE: Jefferson. Wien he heard of Chapin's arrest, he uttered two or three unre producible sentences and them sent a telegraphic message to the city. In re sponse Phineas Fosdick, a private de tective of more than ordinary reputa tion, met General Kerr at Dobson's ho tel the day following. Together they went to the undertaker's establishment where Fosdick made a very careful ex _amination of the wound iz Burke's skull He even made a iittlh diagram of the shape.of the break in the skull Later he weut to the sheriff's office and examined the handle to Chapim's stick The sheriff’. treated the detective with mingled cokdness and deference He regarded him as an interloper, but at the same time the distinguished repu tation of the private detective effect on him Fosdick expressing a wish to take Chapin’s stick over to the undertaker s the sheriff somewhat reluctantly grant ed permission, and the two waiked covet together. The detective once more made a carefal inspection of the weund of the looking closely first at one and then at the other Presently he handed the stick back to the sheriff and withdrew from his pocket a small] pack From this he extracted a-<«tick of pepsin gum, which he put in bie mouth and began to chew vigorously If the sher.ff had looked for eny ex pression of opinion, he was disappoint- ed.

Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the r ll medicines for women who are ailing im this way It makes a woman strong and healthy where a woman most weeds health and strength. It relieves pein, soothes inflammation, heals ulcera- tion and gives rest and tone to the tortured nerves. It cures all the ills and pains too commonly considered an uncomfortable in- heritance of womankind. It has been used for over thirty years with an unbroken record of success. More of it has been sold than of all the other medicines for women combined. It is the discovery of Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Sur- gical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. He will cheerfully answer, without charge, all let- ters from ailing women. “Three years ago,"’ writes Mrs. . N. Messler, of 1794 Vanderbilt Avenue, New York, N.Y., “the best physicians in this cit said there was no eure for me—unless I would go to a hospital and have an operation performed. I could not walk across the room. I took Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and after three bottles I could work, walk and ride.”’ Torpid liver and constipation are surely and speedily cured by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant ellets.

He then walked along the road to the pier on the west side of the river. Hailing a boatman there, he hired him to carry him the river. Arriving there, he made some examinations in the vicinity of the east pier and then walk- ed up to the observatory. Arnold and Professor Gilman were there and an- other professor named Lewis. Fosdick introduced himself, and they talked about the death of Burke, whom Pro- fessor Gilman had been fond of ina quiet way Fosdick asked many guestions about Burke. His daily routine of life was explained to him and his fondness for rowing, swimming, etc. The particu- lar care that Burke took of his boat was mentioned. Previous to this the detective had learned that the boat was found in its usual place the morning the body was discovered and also prac- tically all the other facts in the posses- sion of the sheriff. Presently the detective seemed to for- get all about Burke and began to talk of the big telescope and ‘the nature of the work the professors-at the observa- tory were engaged in. He showed rather more than the ordinary knowledge of a layman about astronomy. They dis- coursed about sun spots, double stars, comets, ete., and presently when the subject of meteors was touched upon Professor Gilman, turning to Arnold. asked: “By the way, Arnold, you didn’t find any trace of that meteorite you went out to look for, did you?’ “No, sir,’’ Arnold replied. “IT didn’t much think you would,’ remarked Gilman. ‘‘If it fell in this vicinity. it prebably went into the river.’ They talked awhile longer. and then Fosdick etarted tego. Turning back. he asked Gilman ‘Do you remember abcut what time you saw that meteor ?’’ The professor gave the detective a quick. keen glance and then said “Why, Ishoulé say it was some time Jo you remember what time it was, Arnold?’ “Yes, sir t was just about half past i0. I remember because Mr. In- graham wanted to go also, but looked acTcoss rau 2 “Do you remember about what time you saw that meteer?”’ at his watch and fonnd he hadn't time He said he’d got just nine minutes in which to catch the 10:40 train.’”’ Fosdick bade the others good day and returned to the hotel. For a full hour thereafter he sat on the shady piazza busily engaged in chewing gum. Fos- dick did not smoke, and perhaps gum chewing was a substitute for that habit Meeting General Kerr that evening and being asked what progress had been made, the detective said “Of one thing I’m certain, general. Este’s opinion to the contrary—the handle of that stick never made the wound on Burke’s skull!”’ CHAPTER V. FOSDICK INSTITUTES A SEARCH. Fosdick was up early the next morn- ing. Crossing the river, he madea very close examination cf the ground in the vicinity of the east pier. The nature of the topography here was rocky and uneven. Just south of the pier the path leading to the observatory passed over a ridge. A person walking up this path had to his left a rocky wall, rising sev- eral feet higher than his head, while to his right the face of the rock descended precipitously to the water, some 20 feet below. There was norai! or guard of any sort on the onter edge of the path. There was, however, ample room for one to walk there in safety, though an intoxicated person attempting to pass would in all likelihood fall off into the river. Fosdick examined with the most pa- tient and painstaking scrutiny the face of the rock above the path. At length an exclamation escaped his lips. He was looking at a spot on the rock about five feet above the path. It was neai:; —_—_— on a level with his heaa as ne stcoa A casual observer wonld have | noticed nothing peculiar there. but a | careful observer would have discovered a spot where the grain of the rock look- ed fresher than the rest. It was not over six inches in diameter. It looked as if erect. a knob or projecting angle of the wall had recently been broken off. The detective tooka piece of chalk from his pecket and leaned over the precipice to make a mark where if could easily be seen from the water be- | low. He stepped and uttered a low whistle. Some one had thrust a stick into a crevice just at that spot. Fos- dick drew a fresh piece of gum from his pocket and for several minutes chewed at it assiduously without mov- ing. At length he said to himself, ‘‘That stick may mean nothing, but I'd be willing to wager a new hat that somebody put it there for a purpose. ”’ Fosdick went to the city that after- noon, and when he returned the next morning he brought with hima sub- marine diver. Securing a boat at Jack- son they rowed over to the east pier The stick in the crevice was stili where the detective had first cbserved it Rowing the boat toward shore, as near- ly as possible under the stick, the diver got into his suit and descended into the water. An assistant saw that his sup- ply of air was not shut off. The depth of the water here was about 20 feet. (To be Continued.) — > — = YSPEPSIA Throws all the Blame on the Stomach—The Real Seat of Trouble is the Intestines— The Permanent Cure is Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills. It is an old idea long since exploded that digestion is confined to the stomach. No modern scientist denies that by far the greater part of digestion and the more difficult part takes place in the intestines. This explains why dyspepsia is never really cured by pre- parations which merely aid stomach digestion and act only on the stomach. This fact also explains why Dr. Chase’s Kid- ney-Liver Pills have been so remarkably suc- cessful as a cure for the worst forms of dyspep- sia and indigestion. Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills act directly on the kidneys, liver and bowels, and give new tone and vigor to the intestines, and make them able to perform their work of digesting the substances on which the stomach has no effect. Stomach treatment may do well enough for slight indigestion, but if you have chronic in- digestion or dyspepsia of a serious nature you can profit by the experience of scores of thous sands who have been permanently cured by using Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills.
