Ft and t r <br />
| nurse. Chatting with her<br />
was one of the policemen who had car-<br />
ried to the ho^pitnl and who<br />
had r«tn lined to get a report on the<br />
disaM. 1 prisoner's condition.<br />
Sam feebly beckoned to the nurse<br />
She came toward him. He muttered<br />
disjointedly:<br />
"I want to— see the chief of police.<br />
Tell him—important. Red Circle!"<br />
He slumped back on the cot again<br />
groggy with headache.<br />
Chief Allen had had a busy morning.<br />
Charles Gordon, the fugitive attorney,<br />
had voluntarily given himself<br />
up to Justice. The chief had at once<br />
sent word to Farwell. who had come<br />
in haste to police h> ado,uarters, to confront<br />
the captive.<br />
Gordon had been searched in Far<br />
well's presence. Hut no trace of the<br />
incriminating receipt could be found<br />
on him. And. perforce, he had be.n<br />
released for lack of evidence to hold<br />
him.<br />
The chief and Farwell were still<br />
sitting in thr» former's office at headquarters<br />
discussing the case when the<br />
telephone buzzed.<br />
"This is queer." remarked Allen as<br />
he put back the receiver on the hook.<br />
' 'Smiling Sam' Kagan was captured<br />
by Lamar today at the Travis house.<br />
Knocked out He was taken to the<br />
hospital And now he sends word he<br />
wants to see me. Sayg it's something<br />
important about the Red Circle case<br />
I'll step over there and—"<br />
Red Circle!" exclaimed Farwell<br />
"That concerns me as much as anyone<br />
in town. I'm going to the hospital I<br />
J with you. if you don't mind."<br />
They found "Smiling Sam" Eagan<br />
propped up among a heap of pillows In :<br />
What did you want to see me<br />
j about"*" asked the chief.<br />
What did I want?" echoed Eagan.<br />
"Oh. nothin' much. Only to tell you<br />
i who the Red Circle woman is. That s<br />
j all."<br />
"If it's a joke—" began Allen.<br />
"A Joke°" Sam caught him up<br />
viciously. "Oh. it's a Joke, all right<br />
And it's on her. On June Travis."<br />
"June Travis!" repeated Allen, incredulous.<br />
"June Travis." cried Farwell. in the<br />
same breath. "I knew it! I was sure<br />
of it. Hut I^mar kept insisting she—"<br />
"June Travis." declared Sam. speaking<br />
slowly, venomously. "June Travis<br />
is the Red Circle woman."<br />
"I don't believe you," said the chief.<br />
"June Travis is the Red Circle wom-<br />
an." doggedly insisted Sam. "Do you<br />
want me to tell you about it or don't<br />
you?"<br />
On ahead." assented Alien, after a<br />
quick glance at the excited Farwell.<br />
"I was hiding out' down at Surfton,"<br />
began Sam. In a cave on the edge of<br />
the beach. She was standing right<br />
near the cave the other day and I saw<br />
the circle on her hand. I—"<br />
"Your eyes fooled you." scoffed the<br />
chief. "In the glare of sunlight the—"<br />
"My eyes didn't fool me," reiterated<br />
Sam. "I saw It, I tell you. The sameshaped<br />
mark that used to be on 'Circle |<br />
Jim' Borden's hand. I'm givin' you -<br />
straight goods. Go and see the circle<br />
on her hand if you don't believe me.<br />
Yes, and as I was watchin' it that day<br />
I heard her nurse say the girl was 'Circle<br />
Jim's* daughter."<br />
The chlet still partly unconvinced,<br />
turned again to Farwell.<br />
"The man's telling the truth!" ejaculated<br />
Farwell. "It all fits in. She's<br />
the Red Circle woman, I tell you. I<br />
knew It all along. I'd have sworn to<br />
It. But Lamar kept putting me off and<br />
putting me off. Chief, I'm going to the*<br />
Travis house I'm going to have a<br />
look at June Travis' hand for myself.<br />
He stamped out of the ward. The<br />
chief reluctantly followed. ,<br />
He paused only to order the waiting<br />
| policeman to remain on guard over<br />
Eagan. Then he hurried on, catching<br />
up with Farwell on the sidewalk in<br />
I front of the hospital.<br />

leaned back on the pillows with a<br />
placid smile. His bright little eyes<br />

Explains Why<br />
Coffee Hurts Many<br />
Dr. W. A. Evans, prominent Chicago physician, who edits the "How<br />
To Keep Well" columns ot the Chicago Tribune, said in that publication,<br />
under date of March 7, 1915:<br />
"Coffee is a drug. Those who are addicted to its<br />
use are drug addicts." "From the standpoint of<br />
nubile hygiene the coffee question is worth while.<br />
It is the most widespread form of drug addiction/ 9<br />
Some coffee drinkers go on for years without seeming harm, but<br />
with others the telltale effects of the drug, caffeine, in coffee, show in<br />
various ills and discomforts, such as headache, biliousness, indigestion,<br />
nervousness, sleeplessness and heart disturbance.<br />
When the health of a coffee-drinker<br />
begins to suffer it's high time to quit the<br />
coffee.<br />
The change to<br />
Instant<br />
Postum<br />
is easy and pleasant. Better health usually<br />
follows, and a ten days' trial proves.<br />
Postum comes in two torms. The original<br />
Postum Cereal—must be well boiled<br />
—15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum—a<br />
soluble powder—is made in the<br />
cup. No boiling required. 30c and 50c<br />
tins.<br />
The two forms of Postum are equally<br />
delicious, and the cost per cup is about<br />
the same.<br />
