At nine o'clock Rawlins' nurse had eall- cd for the manager and insisted that he come upstars. He had been goge for ten or fifteen minutes and Hover had gone to find hin. The nurse was upset because Rawl- ins was not in his room. She had gone off duty for an hour because he said he was tired and wanted to "=Ixleep. When she came back the bed was empty.

By a series of questions the police unearthed the following facts: Huet- te, Rawlins' assistant, went to see Rawlins right after the game and was with him for about fifteen min- utes; Rawlins was pretty soré at him because of the Butchers' second suc- cessive defeat, and Huette went away sulking; one or two of the members of the team stopped at the door to in- quire for him} his talk with Huette had tired him and he refused to take his supper when it was brought in; BLACKHEADS Don't ueeze. blackheads ~ dissolve t two ounces of peroxine 'Powder from any drug store and rub - gently" with wet, hot ¢loth over the flack eads, They simply dissolve and disappear by this safe and sure method, \ Have a Hollywood complexion, fa . 3 ~~ Ladies 'Send us your. name, and recéive + j absolutely FREE, sample of our Highest Quality, Hospital Sani- tary Napkins. fiygeia Products, London, Ontario; - ey ROOOGOOOOEEBELEOABEOERERBOOOGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONN XX United League season- pennant, ; eX he wanted to rest and the nurse had left him for about an hour, That was all that turned up from the police efforts. The missing maid was check- ed and had not left the hotel by the usual means. Her clothes were in her locker and there was no reason to suppose that she was anything other than she appeared to be. She lived in South Chicago and had been employed by the hotel for over four years. She was competent and well liked by the management.

The hotel was one of the older Chicago hotels, as things go now, but new enough to be one of the first of the moderns. It was one of the first to put in service doors. 'They. were not like the more recent ones. They were longer and deeper than the new ones and there was no chance of squashing a suit nor was it necessary to flatten out your laundry-bag in order to get it in the door.
