attempt had been prniie at conceal-

pursuers that Hawley still believed
bis captive to be Miss Maclaire and
that her disappearance would not be
suspected until after nightfall. In
that case the trail could not be dis-
covered before the following morn-
ing. and with such a start, pursuit
would be use'.ess. Tireless, steadily,

to his defence, even an influence over
the officers of the law. The one thing
which puzzled iiini most was tlie
man s object in attempting so des] cr-
ate a venture. Did he knovv his pris-
oner was Hoj»e Waite? or did he still
suppose he was running off with Chris-
tie Maclaire? Could some rumor of
Waites appeal to the courts have
reached the gambler, frightened him.
and caused him to attempt this des-
perate effort at escape? and did he
bear Mbs Mac’aire with 1 ini. hoping
to keep her safely concealed until
he was better prepared to coi.ie out in
open fight? If this was the actual
s ate of affairs then it would account
for much otherwise hard to < rp’aiu.

Bought after, until she failed to ap-
pear at the theater the following ev* n-
ing This delay would give the fu-
gitives a start of twenty hours, or
even mote, and practically assure
their safety besides, in the light of
Waite’s application to the sheriff tor
assistance, it was comparatively easy
to conceive of a valid reason why
llawley should vanish, and desire
likewise, to take Miss Mac aire with
him Hut there was no apparent oc-
casion for hi.s forcible abduction of
Hope. Of course, he might have done
so front a suddenly aroused fit of an-
ger at some discovery the girl had
made, yet everything pointed rather
to a deliberate plan. Both horses and
men w**re certainly waiting there un-
der orders, Hawley's adherents in
charge and every arrangement per-
fected in advance?. Clearly enough
the gambler had planned It all out
before he ever went to the Troca-
dero no doubt the completion of
these final arrangements was what de-
layed his appearance at the hotel. If
this was ail true then it must have
been Christie, and not Hope, he pur-
| posed bearing away with him. and the
i latter was merely a victim of her mas-
querade
1 What would result when the man
good | dls . vered his mi take? Such a uis-
c .very could not be delayed long, ai-
i though the girl was quick-witted, and
would surely t«ali>:e that her personal
Fateiy depended upon keeping up the
deception to the last possible moment.
Yet the discovery must finally occur*

YVe are so positive that we can
relieve constipation, no matter

offer to furnish the medicine frte
of all cost if we fail.
YVe think that it is worse than
i useless to attempt to cute consti-
ip turn with cathartic drugs. Ca-
i thartics m ty do much harm,
j They may cause a reaction, im-
itate and weaken the bowels, and
( make constipation more chrenic.
Constipation is i ften accom-
panied and may be caused by
, weakness of the nerves and
! muscles of the large intestine or
colon. To expect a cure you

Mrs. Jane Callchan suffered from womanly trouble for
nearly ten years. In a letter from Whiteville, N. C., she
says: “ I was not able to do my own housework. My
stomach us weak, and my blood was wrong. 1 had back-
^ ache, and was very weak. 1 tried several doctors, but they
did me no good. I used Cardui for 3 or 4 months, and now
1 am in the best health I have ever been. I can never praise
Cardui enough.” It is the best tonic, for women.
Whether seriously sick, or simply weak, try Cardui.
