I was only a schoolboy at the time but I remember the scandal! Young Mrs. Venner herself died soon afterward.” “It is odd under the circumstances that Matt Venner's wife's family didn't come forward and claim her body when she died insane from the mental suffering she had endured at his hands,” Barry remarked. “Who was she? Where did she come from?" “Her maiden name was DBarrows, Irene Barrows, but I never heard that she had any living relatives; that is, none of them came forward during any phase of the tragic affair,” Philip added. “I remember hearing that she was an orphan, a school and friend of one of the debutantes of that time and that the marriage wasn't a particularly advantageous one according to the senfor Venner, from the standpoint of either money or social position.” “We have learned tha. she was a stranger in Cleveland but not where she came from,” Barry repeatd. “Can you tell me? Perhaps your father can help me.” Barry rose. “I doubt it. But I will take you to him.” In Philip's roadster they reached the fashionable suburbs. BREAK CHEST COLDS WITH RED PEPPER Ease your tight, aching chest. Stop the pain. Break up the congestion. Feel a bad cold loosen up in just a short time. “Red Pepper Rub” is the cold rem- edy that brings quicker relief. It can- not hurt you and it certainly seems to end the tightness and drive the con- gestion and soreness right out. Nothing has such concentrated, penetrating heat as red peppers, and when heat penetrates right down into colds, congestion, aching muscles and sore, stiff joints relief comes at once. The moment you apply Red Pepper Rub you feel the tingling heat. In three minutes the congested spot is warmed through and through. When you are suffering from a cold, rheu- matism, backache, stiff neck or sore muscles, just get a jar of Rowles Red Pepper Rub, made from red peppers, at any drug store. You will have the quickest relief known. Always say ‘‘Rowles."” FICTION WITH A PUNCH soon « . . the young cowpuncher found himself the active center of & cyclone.

We know that the latter was a comparative stranger here, and we thought you might be able to tell us where she came from and who her people were.” A faint flush had come into the withered cheeks and Barry could see My son is a fool, enough criminal BARRY COULD SEE THAT HE WAS SHAKING EXCITEDLY. that he was shaking excitedly. “Irene Venner,” Barry prompted quietly. *“Her maiden name was Irene Barrows and she was visiting a school friend here—"" “Ada Johnson,” the quavering voice supplemented. “I suppose she took pity on Irene. Irene came from Wheatffeld, and T guess her guardian sent her to finishing school as a last resort to get her in with rich folks and marry her off. Anyway, Ada John- son brought the girl home and the trouble started.” “Do you know anything about this guardian of Irene Barrows', " the detective asked. *Did you ever meet him ?" “Yes, he came on for the wedding, but somehow I can't recall his name. I remember the man himself, though, because I've met so many of his type; hard-fisted, hypocritical president of a small country bank. He died soon after, I understand.” “Please, Mr. Scully, it is time for your drops now.” A nurse approached the invalid. *If the gentleman will excuse you, I'm sure you have talked enough.” The invalid took the medicine and roused himself to peer at the small car chugging up the driveway. “Who's coming?"" “It is Mrs. Tyrrell,” the nurse re- plied and turned to meet the stout lady who had descended from the runabout and was crossing the lawn toward them. “Ada on one of her duty calls!” the old gnan grumbled. “She may be able to give you more information than I, however, for she was the girl T told you about who brought Irene to Cleveland in the first place.” Barry rose and the old man cackled as he extended his hand. “My dear Ada!" he responded. “You were never more welcome than at this moment!” CHAPTER XTI “l,et me present Mr, Barry, Mrs. Tyrrell,” said the invalid.

And that milk comes from splendid herds of healthy cows that live on the fat of the land. All summer long they graze on fertile, sun-swept pastures. They’re kept in the prime of condition. That’s why Wedgwood Creamery Butter is so uniformly good. Because it is so carefully made, Wedgwood Creamery Butter holds its freshness and rich flavor in the ice-chest or on the table, longer than other butter. The package is dust-proof and odor-proof.
