Musterole Works Without the Blister—Easier, Quicker ‘There's no sense in mixing a mess of mustard, flour and water when you can easily relieve pain, soreness or stiffness with a little clean, wiite Musterole. Musterole is made of pure oil of mustard and other helpful ingredients, combined in the form of the present white ointment, It takes the place of mustard plasters, and will not blister, Musterole usually gives prompt relief from sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, congestion, pleurisy, rheuma- tism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds of the chest (it may prevent pneumoma) 35cand 65c, jars and tubes.

The man and woman seemed very surprised at this uneventful finish to the proceedings, The latter tucked away the notes in her handbag, while I paid the bill. When T rose to take leave of them, I could see, standing in the doorway and looking at us with a puzzled expression, a middle-aged man, who I decided at once was the individual whom I had impersonated. I said at once: “The business is over, and, I trust, pleasantly. Iorgive me if I take my leave, There are others anxious to kear from me."” The woman clutched her bag with her left hand and extenled her right. “Well, I'm sure you've heen quite the gentleman, Mr.—Mr.—let me see, what was the name? “Well, replied, sumed for the evening. the sum I had Without remark,. “especially as it was only as- Good night, 1 added, us 1 made my escape.

In any case, as I reminded myself, the Ignominlous part of the affalr was over, Its continuation was likely to appeal more to my sense of humor, Over a late whiskey and soda that night in my room, I began to bhulld my plans, It seemed to me that the career of Mr, Edward Rendall, M.
