The Grand Central hotel was on the site of the present Paxton hotel. Helmets, couplings, photographs of the the iremen, the fire and incidents at fime of the historic blage, are included in the collection. There is also a memor- ing'of the five men who lost their lives ting the flames at the Grand Central fire.

It seemed incredible to those who had watched the frenzled, screaming woman carried out the day before that she could ever regain her sanity. When she came in, very pale, very wam, but serenely calm and smiling, nothing but the fear of being shut out from the final scenes of the great drama kept the crowds from wild applause. The prosecutor alone did not look at her. He felt at that moment almost as it he hated her with personal vindictive ness. For he, too, had had an all-night vigjl, seeking some ruse or legal techni- cality that would keep the events of the day before out of the records of the case | He knew only too well that any jury, having seen Mary's seizure, would be readily convinced that she might have , | suffered in the same fashion on the night when David Pollock was killed, and that if they were convinced of that, proving Mary's guilt was going to be the hardest struggle he had ever known. He was savage with weariness and doubly angry because, try as he would, he could not himself shake off the tenaclous memory of that white, shrinking shoulder with its dread scars marring the flesh. In consequence the opening hours of court were marked by a serles of bitter wrangles during which even his honor lost his temper, and the restlessness of the spectators became open disorder. But for all his acldity of wit and skill at argu- ment it was a losing fight that the dis- trict attorney waged, He was consclous of that himself. Therefore it ca no surprise when it was at last brought sum- marily to an end by the judge, who or- dered the testimony of the policeman as to Mary's madness entered as evidence. With a long breath of relief .Langdon turned back toward his seat, suddenly becoming consclous that he was holding a crumpled ecrap of paper which the ball- iff had thrust into his hand some mo- ments before. He remembered now that the court officer had said something when he gave it to him, but he hadn't caught the worde, and # was with entire indif- ference that he opened the note and read the hastily scrawled words. But at sight of them indifference gave place to ex- citement. Crumpling the paper up in his hand, he turned sharply to the bailiff. ‘‘Call George Brennan,” he eald, and there was triumph In his tones. Brennan was the same clean-eut young detective who had told of the disappear- d ance of Daniels, and the first question | asked him revealed what had n the note “Mr. Brennan, I have just recelved a message which says that you have found Mr. Danfels. Will you tell the court, please, the ciroumatances of the finding of the missing man?" been Well, it wasn't exactly a case of ‘finding’ him,” said the detective with a smile. “You see—he just came home!' 1 waa hanging around the apartment house in case anyone brought a measage to Mrs. Danlels when I saw him come into the vestibule. He had a three days' growth of beard on his face, and his clothes were all mused up as If he'd been sleeping in them. He looked like a bum after a three days' jag, but I had no trouble recognizing him Dl he seem @éxolted—or anxious to Eet Into the bulldipg without being seen?" ‘No. He moved slowly, as if he was dazed. He hesitated quite a while be- fore he rang the bell of his apartment, but as soon as he'd pushed it he got im- patient, and kept calling, ‘Hello!' up the speaking tube, and when someone an- wored he sald, ‘Open the door quick! It's me—your father. When the ‘latch clicked he went in, but he made no effort to close the door after him, so I fol- lowed. Both Mrs. Danfels and the daugh ter were In the doorway of the apartment to meet him, and while they were kissing and hugging him I walked in." “Did Daniels seem startied at the sight of you?" No. He seemed sort of stupld as if he was sleepy, but when Mra. Danfels told him T was a detective and that he was wanted as a witness in the Page trial he woke up fast enough and got very excited He sald he had nothing Yes. But it wasn't what 1 told him about the law, but what his wife said that seemed to convince him. She told him she had every faith in him, and that what he had to tell wouldn't do any harm, and for him to go. &o he sald he would it I've give him time to wash up.* Is Mr. Danfels in court now? Yes, sir. He is in the witness room A stir of excitement awept through the room, but deepened to an ominous whisper of suspicion when, Brennan dis- missed, the bailiff summoned the former manager of Mary Page. For Danlels slunk into the room with an ushen face and trembling hands. Great beads of swent atood out visihly on his forehead and his volce when he took the oath was husky and uncertain. If ever guilt was written large upon any man, it was ap parently written ‘upon 'the erstwhile jaunty theatrical manager. The judse, studying him with eyes psyehologioully keen, wished he had the full papers of this case before him to learn more of this new witness and inwardly vowed a receas to study them should the evidence take any unexpected turn. Daniels, how ever, recovered some measure of self control under the preliminary questioning and gave his occupation as “manager of the Covington theater” with a hint of Pompousness, but Langdon's next ques tion -brought the startled look back into his eyes. “Mr. Danfels, you say you knew the defendant well and that you starred her In “The Seekera.' Will you tell us frankly, please, just what made you seleot Miss Page for the leading role of the new play and what share David Pollock had in your decision®" For an instant Danfels hesitated and cast a furtive look at Mary. Then, clear- Indigestion May Be Due to Constipation Neglect of Important Function May Seriously Impair The Health. There are many people who belleve they suffer from indigestion when their discomfort really {s due to a constipated condition. Bloat, with its attendant mental de- preasion, sick-headache, the belching of sour stomach gases, etc., are frequently due to Inaction of the bowels. Relieve the congestion and the trouble usually disappears. The use of cathartics and purgatives should be avoided, however; these shock the system unnecessarily and, at best, their effect is but tempo- ary. A mild laxative is far preferable. The compound of simple Inxative herba known as Dr. Caldwell'’s Syrup Pepsin and sold in drug stores for fifty cents 2 bottle, is highly recommended. Mr. Ben). Bassiri, 360 Madison 8t., Gary, Ind., thinks ' Dr. 'Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin a wonderful medicine: for four years he bad a severe case of indigestion and con- stipation before trying Dr. Caldwell's 8yrup Pepsin, which he s glad to reqoms mend to all who sutfer with stomach and bowel trouble.
