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.

“LEFTY MOORE'S WIFE.”
Synopsis.—Spalding Nelson re
ceives an Invitation to dinner from
his great-uncle, Rufus Qaston. 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

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? I was sitting
! there, pnsaltng ever her mywterbm*
conduct, when I bemme aware that
a awa was standing beslds ay table,
glaring down at toe. I twnfced ap. as

How much more likely that an em
ployee of the place was In the. pay
of the plotters! 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. I asked her a ques
tion or ^w*o, and she became much
embarrassed and confused. She Jump
ed up and said she was going to the
telephone. Do you suppose that she
saw you and recognized you?”
“Not a chance." said the detective. I

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. Once he had had influence
over her sufficient to make her give
up family, friends, home, everything,
to marry hire. Had he. In some way

"Well"—I am afraid I colored, aa I
realised that my acquaintance with
the girl was limited—‘Tve been Itvtng

“I thought ao." said my inquisitor.
“There’s nothing to It. She’s I-efty
Moore’s woman all right If I’d seen
you come In with her, you’d never
have got a table in this place.”
“What Is the. matter with her? Who
Is Lefty Moore?”
An expression of amazement came
into the man’s face.
“Did you never hear tell of Lefty
Moore, the cleverest three-tirne .bur
glar there is in or out of Sing Sing?
fourteen years he got the last time,
and it was quite a write-up the papers
gave me for catching him.”
It began to dawn on me then who
the man was. He must be an ex-po-
liceman employed as the restaurant
bouncer or house detective.
“Y’ou’re sure Miss Kelly and Lefty
Moore’s wife are the same person?"
“I’ve reasons for not forgetting her.

took him. I’ve got the marks of her
Jtoil* in. Goju 4o££. yet... It’s her all

she was of the type that would enjoy
to the utmost the costly whirl of the
fashionable cafe of the moment. It
wan my purpose to give her such a
delightful evening that she would be
wishing to spend other* in the same
way, for I felt certain that she, i>or-
haps better than anyone else, could
supply me tbe Information I wanted
about the tenants In the building. I
was sure It would be well worth my
while to win her good grace’s, cost
what It may. Calling a taxi, I bade
the chauffeur take us to the "White
Room." the very latest fashion in res
taurants, where hordes of hectic pur
suers of pleasure wire wont to assem
ble to dine and dance. I observed the
gleam of satisfaction that came into
her eyes as she heard me mention our
destination. ^
At first we talked, in Broadway
fashion, of the theaters and restau
rants, of the place we were in. of the
people at the tables about us, but
gradually I led the conversation to
Miss Kelly herself and to her work
