I f»f •
Nothing Helped Me Until I
Took Lydia E. Pinkham’t
Vegetable Compound.
Wyandotte, Mich.-' 4 Pop the last
four years 1 have doctored off and on
without help. I
have had pains
every month so bad
that I would nearly
double up. Some-
times I could not
sweep a room with
out stopping to rest,
and everything I ate
upset my stomach.
Three years ago
I lost a child
and suffered so
badly that I was out
of my head at times. My bowels did
not move for days and I could not eat
without suffering. The doctor could not
help me and one day I told my husband
that 1 could not stand the pain any
longer and sent him to the drug-store
to get me a bottle of Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound and threw
the doctor's medicine away. After
taking three bottles of Vegetable Com
pound and using two bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Sanative Wash I could do
my own housework. If it had not been
for vour medicine 1 don't know where I
would be today and 1 am never without
a bottle of it in the house. You may
publish this if you like that it may help
some other woman.*'—Mrs. Mary

Synopsis.—Spalding Nelson Is oc
cupying -the apartments of -his
great-uncle, Rufug Gaston. The
Gastons, leaving on a trip, tell him
about mysterious noises and “whis-
pere" that haye scared them. He
beepmea acquainted with Barbara
Bradford, who lives in the same
big MiUdlng. He Instinctively dis
likes and distrusts the superintend
ent, Wick. The mysteries in his
apartments begin with the disap
pearance of the Gaston pearls from
the wall safe. He decides not to
call In the police, but to do his own
investigating. It is soon evident
that someone has access to his
rooms. Becoming friendly with
Baroara, he learns that her apart
ments are equally mysterious. She
telle him that several years before
her aister Claire, who lives with
her. had made a run-away mar
riage with an adventurer, from
whom she was soon parted, and the
marriage had been annulled Claire

I gained the door without my pres

window I epuld detect a figure stand

the wall near the celling. I recalled
with curiosity that It was from that
spot that the whispers I had heard
had seemed to come. .*
Inch by inen I edged noiselessly for
ward, my eyes on the intruder until at
last my fingers found the electric llgfit
button. As‘the light flooded the room
there was a suppressed scream, fol
lowed by a frightened gasp. Th**
figure on the chair turned quickly and
faced £ie. I saw that It was a woman,
a badly frightened woman, with her
hands clutching at her heart. Almost

Gorman.. The tale I was to unfold to
him was so Improbable, so almost un
believable. that I wanted to go over It
with her step by step. In order to be
able to convince the detective that it
was the absolute truth.
I could not help but realize how
preposterous it would sound in the
telling. Mr. Gorman could hardly be
blamed fdf^believing that my mind had
been inflamed by witnessing too many
movie thrillers. Yet I had proof.
There were the entries in my great-
uncle’s diary that I could show. I had
the anonymous notes. My story of the
strange whispers, if need he, could be
confirmed by the old laundress, by
Barbara Bradford, yes, and-by Claire,
too. That is. If the reasor, Claire had
given to account for her presence In
ray room was the true one. It sounded
logical, and yet I did not place the
confidence In her that I did in Barbara.
But what I relied on most of all to
convince Gorman of the truth of my
preposterous tale was his own kncmrl-

”1 can’t believe it," cried the girl,

a girl like myself. I have talked to
her lots of times. I’m certain there’®
nothing wicked or wrong about her.”
“I’m afraid there is,” I explained.
“I took her out to dinner last night, to
