Dublin, Va.—Mrs. Sallle Hughett, of Route 2, this place, recently related her Interesting experience In recover- Ing her health, saying: “When . • . came on I was In a tery bad condition and nothing the doctor gave me did me any good. Some say you have to let this take its course .. . but I knew there ought to be something to give relief. I was uervous, weak and pale. I couldn’t eat or sleep to do any good, and felt I couldn’t stand this very long. M I heard and read of Qardui, and bow it had benefited other women in the same condition, so decided to use it myself. After my first bottle I felt better, so, of course, kept it up, and it did the work. “It helped me as nothing else did. I began to pick up right away. I ate and slept and could rest 1 knew I was getting better. I kept it up and It did wonders for me.“ Thousands of women, suffering as this Virginia lady did. have wed Car tful with equally happy nwutta. and voluntarily relate thair experiences, so that others, troubled with disorders common among women, may lenrn to take Cartfol.

On the way he meets Barbara Brad ford and renders her a service. She lives In the same apartment build ing as the Gastons. They go there together. Gaston and his wife are going to Maine for a trip and ask Nelson to live in their apartments. He accepts. The Gastons tell him of mysterious noises about the apartment—‘’whispers” and noises that have scared them. Going to the apartment a few days later Nelson again meets Barbara, his accidental acquaintance. Nelson meets the building superintendent, Wick, and instinctively dislikes him. In a wall safe he finds a necklace of magnificent pearls. Next day Nelson finds the pearls have disappeared from the wall safe. Hts first Idea of informing the police Is not acted upon be cause of peculiar circumstances. He has been discharged from his position without adequate explana tion or reason, and feels himself involved In something of a mys tery. He decides to conduct an In vestigation himself That night Barbara signals from the window of her apartment, which lo opposite hie. and they arrange a meeting far next day. la the marwlng he finds a note In hie roam, easing hiss why ho had sUt informed the pall re af the lose of the )ewela Barbers taile Nelaoa her slater fleira had same yaere before m*4e a roe away me fringe with aa ed vawtarer. fraai wheen she wea mmm parted and the marriage had bean aaaatted Oatra la eauegad la ha mamnd and aeenaana snow- Access to either apartment would not be difficult. By short rope lad ders they could easily reach either set of rooms. They would be %o located that there would be little difficulty for them to devise mysterious sounds for terrifying the people In the apart ments below. I recalled that in ev ery case the voices and the footsteps seemed to come from somewhere up near the ceiling. Of course It seemed preposterous that a criminal band would find lodging In a luxurious apartment house like this, yet, why not? Tenants In these buildings knew little about each other and cared less. There was no exchange of neighborly visits. Once having gained access to such a building by forged references, so long as they paid their rent prompt ly, fio one In the building would both er his bead about the character of any of the other tenants. This last theory seemed the most plausible. Be*ld«i It was the easiest to w’ork on. It ought not to be diffi cult to ascertain who lived In the tw*o apartments above. Undoubtedly my best source of Information would be Nellie Kelly, the telephone operator. Perhaps, too. she might be able to In- form me of my great uncle * where- •boats. More than likely he had left a forwarding address for his mall with Wf. With a letter I had written to toy toother I dearewdetf to the main door and began g mo v resat lea with Mia* Kelly by atolng where wga the near e*t plnee that I mold hoy etotops As ed guardedly. “I never heard him one way or the other.” “While we’re talking about the apartment,’’ I went on, “did my great uncle happen to leave a forwarding address with you? There are sgrae things I want to send him—some pearls they left behind—and he has not written me yet where his address will be.” f I had not intended to mention the Gaston pearls. I had slipped that' phrase in on^the spur of the moment, but little was I prepared for the as tounding effect my words had upon her. ‘The pearls!” she gasped, turning white. “You’re going to send him the Gaston pearls!” There was a note of amazement, of Incredulity in her tdtfe. “Excuse me,” she said, rising un expectedly, T gotta telephone.” . Before I could gather my wits to gether the had vanished, leaving me sitting there, staring after her In dis may. What did the—the telephone girl—know* about tbe Gaston pearls? How could she possibly know that they were missing? I had told no one —no one except Barbara Bradford— about the rilled wall safe. How could her excitement and perturbation be , a* raanted foe except by the fact that ahe knew wf their lean?

And now do learn that the telephone girl was. if not a criminal herself, at least the associ ate of criminals. “She’s got r, no record that I-know of,” the detective admitted, “but she couldn’t be Lefty Moore’s wife with out being a crook herself.” “That helps explain things,*” I said more to myself than to him. “Explains what?” he asked suspici ously. ; “jp>ok here,” I said with i^’new de termination. ‘There have been some mysterious happenings In the Grand- deck, and I brought this girl here to try to pump her.

Yet, on the other hand, there were those entries In his dtary about the mysterious voire*. Apparently, too. his wife and Mrs. Burke had heard themr Did It not seem more likely that the arch plotter was Claire Bradford’s ex- husband? This theory seemed far more ten able. While the Bradfords had heard nothing from him for several years, the publication of Claire Bradford’s engagement might have attracted his notice and inspired him to an attempt at blackmail. Y>t how could he gain, access to the wall safe where the di vorce papers were kept, or how could I’ | he be dropping notes on the floor of Barbara Bradford’s bedroom? How coulfly he ^have stolen the Gaston pearls? * It seemed incredible but still my thoughts kept roturping to the possibility of his directing Claire Bradford’s actions through hypnotic control.
