a depressed, blue feeling all the time.
“I couldn’t rest at night. I waa
nervous. I would be dizzy and Just

trying to do the housework. It seemed
I couldn’t get my breath. I was afraid
I would get past going altogether.
“I heard of Cardui and began using

It was helping me, so I kept it up ...

A SECRET PASSAGE.
Synopsis.—Spalding Nelson Is oc
cupying the apartznents of his
great-uncle. Rufus Gaston. The
Gaston*, leaving on a trip, tell him
about mysterious noises and “whis
pers” that have scared them. He
becomes acquainted with Barbara
Bradford, who lives in the same
big building. 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 hi* own
investigating. It la soon evident
that someone ha* access to his
rooms. Becoming friendly with
Barbara, he learns that her apart
ments are equally mysterious. She
tells him that several years before
her sister 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

that’s a start. There’s the man who
shadowed you—would you know him
again If you saw him?”
I shook my head doubtfully.
*T’m afraid not,” I admitted, “you
see-r-”
“Don’t bother to explain. You either
would or wouldn’t, and that’s all we
need to know now. There’s old Mr.
Gaston and his wMfe. It’s queer about
their ducking out so suddenly and
leaving no address, but maybe they’re
only scared. Let’s see who else Is
there—the Bradford servant! and the
old man’s, the old washerwoman—
and the families who U*e In the house.

More and more I had begun to ap

an experienced detective would be
likely to be In helping to solve the
mystery.

It was nine-thirty w'hen I reached
hoine. It had been arranged that Bar
bara about ten would signal me that
•we might have a chat from our re
spective window's. As I sat In ray
rooiiTValtlng for the time to come, I
was reviewing the case in all Its as
pects. Indeed there was hardly a wak
ing moment that I was not thinking of
the many mysteries about us. I was
wondering If, when the case was
cleared up the mysterious whispers
that we all had heard would also be
explained. I recalled Claire Brad
ford’s unexpected visit to my apart
ment the evening before am! her con
fusion when I had captured her. I
w’omlered If the explanations she hud
offered had been the truth. Was she
really trying to locate the source of
the whispers? I looked Interestedly
up at the section of the wall that I
had found her Inspecting. What had
she hoped to discover there?
I decided ta make a close tnapee-

From hta mnnuer I was contidewt
that he already had a shrewd anspl-
don as to the identity of some of ifie
l miscreants. The maze In the center
of which he hud placed Ml** Bradford
and myself meant far more to him,
undoubtedly, than It did to me. More
than likely his vast knowledge of the
methods of criminals and his acquaint
anceship with others like Lefty Moore
hod given him clues enough as to
where to look for the plotters. I real
ized that it would he useless to ques
tion him further. He would admit
suspecting no one until he was sure
of their guilt, a quality I admired
greatly.
“You onn ’count on me,” I repeated.
“I’ll be here at three tomorrow.”

as I did *** I oiNild not help laughing
at niyielf. The Plea that a iwMlero
a|Mirtii:eut building might contain a
'o-ervt passage was utterly ridiculous,
yet as I fM»unde<l lightly on the wall
it gave forth n hollow sound, vastly
different from any other part of the
room. I was convinced that l»etwc»Mi
my room nnd the hall there was space
enough at least fot a passageway in
which a man might walk.
I surveyed with growing Interest the
wooden paneling that in my room ran
clear up to the celling. In the other
rooms there was no paneling. Mount
ing the chair again I pressed sharply
against the wood at the point from
which the sound had seemed to come.
It seemed to me it gave a little to my
touch. I struck one of the sections a
sliHrp htow. It dropped back a full
half-inch; leaving what looked like a
doorway—a space three feet wide by
five feet high. The bottom of tlie
opening w’as hardly two feet from the
floor. If there was a passageway
here, this panel certainly would ex
plain how my rooms had been aurrep-
tltioualy visited.
Feverishly I worked at the panel try-*

waa a puaeageway there to the wall I

“What la It?” cned Barbara.
"Ll*ten.“ I mutmakded. “It aeeni*
to come from the fl«e»r below."
Holding our breaths we strwlnetl our
♦*irs for further sounds. Suddenly a
shot rang out. and there was a thud
as If a body hud fallen to the floor.
Then all was silence.
With terror In our faces we turned
to each other, seeking an explanation
which neither could give.
“Mother—(Taire!** cried Barbara.
“They’ll be alarmed. I must go back
to them at once.”
“She’s been murdered.
Get the police quick.”
