WALLOWED 0P Mes Witson \Wooneow nw%mnb JDALE BY BRENTANGS = GJ1ER By THE RIDOWAY ConRaNy/ —— REGIN HERE TODAY Loring Ranger offers & hundred thousand dollars reward for the re. turn of his missing daughter, Hope, He s assisted in his search by his at- torney, Eustice Highy, and by his lifelong friend, Jusrez Charlie, ad- venturer, p Charlie tells Loring that he feels| certain that Hope Is held prisoner by & group of eriminals ealled the “Com- hine.” A message comes to Nanger telling him to buy a hat for e and leave it at & specified . Prank Bryan is Ranger's private se retary, George Kelsey in detained at a pri. vate sanitarium and he ‘meets and visits with a girl who closely re. sembles a nurse named Copley, Dr, Bristow is the superintendent of the institution, NOW GO ON WITH TR STORY A responsive shiver passed over her shoulders, *“There was no use acting as If 1 hadn’t taken it all in," Kelsey re- sumed; “and I didn’t hesitate to ex-. press myself, T wan leaving at once, T told him; didn't care to be hooked up with a bunch of crooks. Bristow didn’t bluster any; just smiled in that maddening, superior way of his and when I finished, condescended to ex- plain, He had been humoring » lunatic, he said; my experience should have taught me the necessity of some- times doing that. The story of the stolen jewels was pure dementia, but Interesting as an example of unusual coherence, “He made the thing plausible .enough, but it didn’t sink in as he ex- peeted. I'd heard the two of them talk., There wasn't any make-heleive about it; they were right down to business. Actual names and ad- dresses were given and written down. And the alleged patient was allowed to depart free, “8o T stood my ground, and bluntly told him that T didn't consider the circumstances open to misinterpreta- tion, ) “Bristow began tapping on the arm of his chair; hut he was as cool as eyer. ‘It looks as if your useful- ness here is over,’ he agreed. ‘T re- gret it. You would have been a valuable man.' " ‘Speak a little lower,” tioned. “Thanks; I forgot for the moment. Well, I left him then, and went up to my room. I've told you how T at- tempted to get away and failed, After that, T tried to get to Bristow again, but he wouldn't see me. So T turnedt o Morton.” “Morton?” she repeated interroga- tively. “Yes; the other house physician. He's a quiet, non-committal sort of a fellow. T didn't go into the whole she cau- wgame, Doctor, 1 know too mueh for my health, and therefore you a presoribing a rest for me here under your eye' “He looked at me without moving A musecle, patient still, bhut a little stern, “‘In the last few days,’' ‘I've gathered considerable fon about your past life, I find, an Australian, an actor, born In Melbourne, Your name is net Kelsey but Haworth, James Haworth,' “That was a bit too thick, and 1 told him so, The devil listened to he said, informa- You are, | me quletly, never altering his expres.

(o this cuntry. In neither of these states is there any remembrance of the others. There may eventually oc- cur—and I think T can help you such a crisis—a struggle between th two personalities, and it will then de- volve upon you to decide which one you wish to retain, definitely putting the other away. In the meantime, 1 feel it my duty tb keep you under observation.' " 7 While he talked, Kelsey was aware that the girl was following his nar- rative with an almost feverish in- tentness, and he wondered * again at thing with him; just told him T'd had a falling out with Bristow and re- signed, but that when I attempted to leave the place, I'd been prevented. *He didn't show any surprise. He'd been primed . Just listened, and said now and then, ‘I'm sorry, or ‘Too bad.’ I didn't get his attitude at the time. My idéa then was, that he was too keen on his job to take sides. But I gained a clearer light on him when 1 finally talked to Bristow. “He was all ready for me and didn’'t waste any time in laying his cards on the table. z “It's for your own sake that I have taken these restrictive mea- sures,’ he said in his best professional manner, ‘I'm not easily fooled, vet her self-control “Careful!” he warned quickly. “Miss Copley has come out and is looking for you.” He slouched back on the bench, looking more bored and gloomily abstracted than ever. The nurse crossed the lawn swiftly, her face darkening as she caught sight of the two on the rustic seat. “Verna!” she called. “Verna!" There was an anxicty bordering on panic in her harsh," unmodulated volce. ‘The girl did not respond at ofce. Then she started and looked ahout her, as if she had just returned from a far country and the preseat sur- roundings were unfamiliar. But at another, “Verna!" she rose obediently " | That's about all there is to it, so far Inside, Ranger and Hustace Highy, the attorney, were in sarnest disous slon over a letter whish Highy held In his hand: while over by the win. d his mumbled apologies for Blundering inte & wily group | roused the three from thelr preoce: cupation; and Ranger, stepping auickly over, eaught the refreath Juarez by the arm and drew him Inte the room. “It's come, Charlie!” His eyes were shining, “Just as you said it would, old boy, A photograph and the de- mand for meney. Vound them on my desk when we came back frem luneh, He pulled Charlie across the room to wife, Mary Lou, this is Charlie” Bhe dragged her gaze from snap-shot, and held the pieture for him to see, “It's the hat all right,! He tried to throw some enthusiasm inte his| voice; but this atmaesphere of jubila. tion left him feeling dry and meager. It was, as he told himself, too dWrned premature, Charlle had his supers stitions, “Yes; and it's Hope, too” RNanger declared. “We couldn’t he fooled on that point,” “Oh, yes; It is ecertainly Hope"” Mrs, Ranger's veice trémbled with emotion, “How can we ever than you, Mr,—?" She hesitated, flushing faintly, She felt that she ought to know his name, and yet she could not remember ever having heard her hushand use it She compromised hastily on, “Mr, Juarez' “I'm mighty glad to have the chance of meeting you, too, Mr, Juares" Highy held out his hand, “You've heen the sole person to throw any light on the puzzle" “That absurd hat!" Mrs, Ranger smiled deprecatingly, “And yet youn were right about it, Mr, Juarez, Tt does prove conclusively that the pie- ture was taken within a day or two, doesn't it?" “They snapped her when she wasn't expecting it, T guess, Charlic explained; “and she's langhing at herself in that sky-piece.” To Charlie's relief Ranger reminded him just then that he had not yet read the letter. He took it, ran over it perfunctori- ly, and laid it back on the desy with- out comment. “Well, what do you think?" tan- ger was growing a little impatient at this indirectness. Charlie cocked his eye at the ceil- ing, and made an heroic attempt to look thoughtful. “Seems fairly- plain' he sald. “They tell you, if you leave $100,000 under a railroad crossing on the Tone Hill road at 4 o'clock tomorrow af- ternoon, your daughter will be re- turned; and they warn vou that if you fafl, or try to double-cross them in any way, you'll never see her again, the up as I can see.” Higby, more astute than the others, realized that he was not going to be led into expressing his reals opinion in the presence of Mrs. Ranger, and tactfully succeeded in getting her to leave with him.

Stout persons suffering from such diseases as Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Eczema, Asthma and high blood pressure are greatly relieved by a reduction of their superfluous flesh. Mums O, Wrrrrow torites: “T have lost 76 pounds as result of your treatment and have “never felt so well in my life as I do now.” Mr. S. Sawter twrites: “I hawe lost 70 nds as a result of taking your treatment. Mzs. E. Baremay writes: “Have taken your treatment and it is wonderful how ‘it reduces. It does just as you say. I have reduced & pound a day and feel fine.” feel better in every way, I can now take long walks without becoming tired or short of breath. I thank you very much for what you have done for me." Mns. ANNA Scmmaor writes: “I weighed 178 pounds before I started your treatment and T mow weigh 138 pounds.” You may print this if you like.” These are just examples of what | can accomplish for my patients. Let me send you more proof at my expense. I have successfully treated thousands of patients for fat reduction without subjéct- ing them to change of diet or unnecessary exercise. My patients have often reduced at the rate of a pound a day, and are to-day in better health than ever before. A loss of weight will relieve that depressed, tired, sleepy feeling, giving*you renewed energy, vigor and new interest in life.

Juarez Charlie was beginning to feel oppressed and uneasy. Three days had passed since the hat was taken out of Ranger's car, and there liad been no succeeding developments. Again and again he had explored the straggling neighborhood where he lived, searching each fence post and hoarding for another of those cabalis- tic communications, but without re- sults, On the fourth morning as, after an- other fruitless hunt, he brought out the motorcycle which Ranger had in- sisted on his accepting in order to facilitate his movements, and pre- pared to start for town, he had the air of discredited prophet who has lost honor even with himself. As he drew up before the entrance to Loring’s office the outer guard to whom he was now a familiar figure waven him along toward the office with the jocular announcement that the boss had been just on the point of sending out a general alarm for him. Glumly he pushed up the corridor and opened the office door; then stopped short on the threshold and began awkwardly to back away.
