FREEDOM FROM
LAXATIVES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.
Pills snd salts give temporary re-
lief front constipation only at the ex-
pense of permanent injury, suys an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way—a means as simple as -Nature
Itself.
In jwrfect health a natural Inbrlcant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat-
ural lubricant Is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that tlis
gentle lubricating action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Nature's own
lubricant. As NuJ l Is not a laxntlv*
It canrot gripe. It is in no smse a
medicine. And like pure water It Is
harmless and pleasant.

As for the pln<-e before him. he was
convinced that It was abandoned. Had

lii- two friends, been about the bnlld-

he expected to find, any evidence of Il-
legal occupation about the place—as
the sheriff seemed to have discovered

In the o|ienlng. arid surprise gripped
blm. lie was held motionless, guzing
with astonished wonder at the sight
confronting him.
Directly before him ns a small
roadster, one which lie remembered to
have seen Jacliin Kelt using; In this
cur, doubtless. Hen Chacherre bad
driven from the city. He recalled the
fact later, with poignant regret for a
lost op|H>rtunity. Hut, at the present
moment, he was lost in amazement at
the great number of other curs pre-
senting themselves to his view.
They were lined up as deep as the
barn would hold thein. crammed Into
every available foot of space; well
o\er a doxen cars, he reckoned swiftly.
What was more, ail were cars of the
highest class, with the exception of
Fell's roadster. Directly before him
were two which he wag well aware
Must have cost close upon tea thou-
sand each. What did this mean? Cer-
tainly ii* one man or one group of men,
In this hack-country spot, could expect
to use such an accumulation of ex-
pensive cars!
Ornniont glanced around, but found
bo trace of machinery In the barn.
Remembering the niotoi that he hid
heurd. he turned from tha doorway
In frowning perplexity. He strode on
toward the long ihed which atood
closer to the houae At the end of
this shed was a door, and when he
tried It. Oramont found It unlocked. It
swung ipen to his hand, and he
stepped Inside.
At flrst he paused, confused by the
vague objects around, for It was quite
dark In here. A moment, and bis eyes
grew accustomed to the gloomier light-
ing. Details come to him: all sround
were curs and fragments of cars,
chassis and bodies In all stag** of
dismemberment. Still more car*'
He slowly advanced to a long bench
that ran the length of the simp be-
neath the windows. A shop. Indeed—
a shop, he quickly perceived, fitted
with efery tool and machine necessary
to the most complete automobile re-
pair establishment I Even an air-
brush outfit, at one end, together with
a drying compartment, spoke of re-
paint Jobs. .
Comprehension was slowly dawning
or>oii the mind of Oramont; a moment
later It became certainty, when he
rams to a stop before an automobile
engine lying on the bench. He found
It to he the engine from a Stuta—the
latest multi-valve type adopted by that
[ make of car, and this particular bit of
machinery looked like new
Oramont Inspected it. and he saw
that the men had done their work
well. The original engine number bad
been carefully dug out, and the place
as carefully filled and leveled with
metal, lleslde It a new number bad
been stumiMtd. A glunca at the elec-
trical equipment around showed that
these workers bad every appliance
with which to turn out the most Da
Ished Joba.
As he straightened up from the *a-
gine Gramotit's eyes fell upon a typed
sheet of paper affixed to the wall
above the bench. Ills gnze widened
ns be insjiected It by the fsiling light.
Cpon that pa|>er was s list of cars.
After each cur was a serit* of num-
bers plainly comprising the original
numbers of the engine, body, radiutor
and other component parts, followed
by another series of new numbers to
be Inserted That sheet of paper
sliowe<l bruins, organizing ability, cure
and attention to the last detail!
Here was the most carefully
planned and thorough system of auto-
mobile thievery that Crarmmt had ever
heard of. He stood motionless, know-
ing that this typed sheet of paper In
Itself was damning evidence against
the whole gang of workers. What wns
more to the point, that paper could he
traced; the ty|>ewrltlng could be
traced to the man higher up—doubt-
less Memphis lzzy himself I These
men ran In curs by the wholesale,
probably from state* adjacent to
Louisiana. Here, at this secluded
point on the bayou, they changed the
curs completely about. In number,
paint, style of body, and then prob-
ably got rid of the new product in
New Orleans.
Oramont stood motionless. Surprise
had taken hold of him, and even a
feeling of slight dismay. This was
not ut ull what he had hoped to find
there. He had thought to come upon
some traces of the lottery game—
"Seen all you wait, bo?" said u
voice behind him.
Oramont turned. He found himself
gazing directly Into an automatic pis-
tol over which glittered a pair of blaz-
ing eyes. The man was a stranger to
him. The place had not been desert-
ed. after all. He was caught.
"Who are you?" demanded Oramont,
quietly.
"Me?" The stranger was unsmiling,

Oramont was allen! The other
sneered at him, viciously.
"Hurry up! Turn over the name
and address, and I'll notify the sur-
vlvln' relatives Name, please?"
"Henry Oramont." was the calm re-
si>onse. "Don't get hasty, my friend.
Didn't you see me here a little while
ago with rhacberre and the other
boya?". ^
"Whit e that?" The glittering eyea
flamed up with suspicion and distrust
"Here—with them? No, I didn't. I

"Your best scheme," said Oramont.
oddly, "la to change your atyle of

going to get In touch with Memphis
Ixzy the minute I get back to the city,
and that the lesa talking they do—"
"What the h—I'l all this?" demand-
ed the other again, but with a soften-
ing of accent The moniker of Oum-
berta had Its effect, and seemed to
shake th* man instantly Oramont
smiled aa he perceived that the game
waa won.
"I never heard of na Oramont." went
on the other, quickly "What you doln
here?"
"You're due to learn a g> *l many
thinge I imagine." said Oramont. rare
leaaly. "As far ma, I happened on th*
place largely by ted dent I fcappea
to be in partnership witb a man
named Jachtn Pell, and I ram* out
here on business—"
To Graniont's astonishment the pis-
tol was lowered instantly. It whs well
that he ceased speaking, for what he
had Just said proved to be open to
misconstruction, and If he hud said
any more he would have spoiled It.
Cor the mun facing him was staring
ut him In mingled disgust and sur-
prise.
"You're In partnership with the
boss!" came the astounding words.
"Well, why In h—I didn't you say ull
that in the first place, Instead o'
beelin' around? That's no way to butt
In, and me thinking you was some
dick on the Job! Oot unythlng to
prove ilint you ain't pullin' something
cute on me?"
"Do you know Fell's writing?" asked
Oramont, with difficulty forcing him-
self to meet the situation coherently.
Jacliin Fell—the boss!
"I know his mitt all right."
From his pocket Oramont produced
a paper—the memorandum or agree-
ment which lie had drawn up with
Fell the previous afternoon, relating
to the oil company. The other man
took It and switched on an electric
light hulh overhead. In this glare h*
wns revealed as a ratty Mttle 'Indi-
vidual with open mouth nnd teeth
hanging out—an adenoidal type, and
certainly" a criminal type.
It rrossed the mind of Oruaiont that I
one blow would do the work—but he
stood motionless. No sudden game
would help him here. The diacovery
that Fell was "the boss" paralysed
him completely. He had never dreamed '
of such a ciaitingency. Fell, of all
men! |
Jachin Fell the "boss" of this estab-
lishment! Jacliin Fell the man high-
er up—the brains behind this criminal
organization! It was a perfect thun-
derholt to Oramont. Now h* under-
stood why Chacherre wus in- the em-
ploy of Fell—why no arrest of the
mun hud been possible! Now he per-
celved thot Chacherre must have told
the truth about coming here on busi-
ness for Fell. Iteaching farther back,
lie saw that Fell must have received
the loot of the Midnight Masquer,
must have turned It over to I.ucle
l.edanols—
Did she know?
"All right, Mr. Oramont." The rntfjr
little man turned to hltn with evident
change of front. "We ain't takhi' no ,
elinnces here, y'understand. Got quite
u ahlpment of cars comln' In from
Texas, and we're try In' to get some n'
these boats cleaned out to make room.
Bring out any orders?"
Oramont's brain worked fast.
By overcoming this guttersnipe he
might have the whole place at his
mercy—but that was not whnt he
wanted. He suddenly realized that he
had other nnd more important fish to
fry In New Orleans. Gumlierig was
there. Fell was there. What he must
do demanded time, and his best play
was to gain all the time |>osKible. and
to prevent this gang from suspecting
him In any way.
"Did you see Ben Chacherre?" he
countered.
"t.'h-huh—seen lilm Just after he
come Gumheria will he out day after
tomorrow, he said. The boss Is framin'
some sort of deal on a guy that he
wants laid away—some guy name o'
Hammond. Chacherre is running It.
He Aggers on gettln' Humtnond on ac- I
count of some cur that's bein' bunted
up—"
tiramont laughed suddenly, for there
was a grim humor about the thing So
Jachin Fell wanted to "get something"
, on poor Hammond! And Chacherr*
, had seized the golden opportunity that i
presented Itself tills afternoon—In- j
stead of "getting" Hammond for the
theft of a car, Chacherre l>ad coolly
I fastened murder upon him!
"Ben Is one smsrt man ; I expect li*
I thinks the gods are working for him."
j said Oramont thinly. "So you don't
| know what happened today, eh? Well,
It's great news, but I've got no tlm*
to talk about It. They'll tell you when
they get back—"
"Where'd they go?" demanded tha
other.

"Oh!" exclaimed the other, sudden-
ly. "Sure! The bosa said that one of
his friends would be down to—"
"I'm the one—*r one of them." aad
Oramont chuckled aa he reflected oa
the ludicrous aspects of the whole af-
fair. "I'm going to Ilouma now, and
then bark to the city. My ear'a over
