J Bisurated Magnesia ;!
For Acid Indigestion^
Thousands of people whose stomachs
troubled them after eating have found
that by taking a teaspoonful of pure
bisurated magnesia in a half glass of
hot water after meals they can do away
with pepsin pills and other digestive
aids and can still be able to eat heartily
of whatever foods they please and have
no stomach trouble afterwards. Physi
cians say that hot water forces a much
needed blood supply to the stomach
while bisurated magnesia Is undoubted
ly the best, safest and most powerful
neutralizer of stomach acids that can
be found. A single teaspoonful will
sweeten the food contents of a sour
acid, burning stomach in ten minutes
by the watch and natural digestion will
follow without pain or uncomfortable
feeling of any kind. Continued use
of bisurated magnesia does not weaken
natural digestion and it is perfectly
safe to use at any time. It can be had
at almost any drug store but be sure it
Is bisurated magnesia you are getting.
Do not use other forms of magnesia for
this purpose.

THURSDAY EVENING,
SILVER SANDALS
A Detective Story of Mystery, Love and Adventure.
By Clinton H. Stagg.

"That makes It even again." The
blind man smiled slightly as he fol
lowed Into the main body of the hotel.
" 'Lo, cap!" greeted the thick voice
of the loose-Jowlod, purple-cheeked
man who puffed as he wiggled out
of his heavy coat. "Devil of a time
to break up a man's party. Where's
the body?" The cordiality went from
the voice as he apparently saw the
blind man for the first time. " 'Lo
Colton! In on this, too? Gotn' to
make another flying-death mystery,
and go over our heads?"
Coroner Blerbauer, ltke Captain
McMann, had never forgotten the
blind man's solving of the girl violin
ist's death at the theater, and the
sequel murder of the theater manager,
Crawford. In the rathskeller, by the
nsane knife thrower. Both had oc
curred in their precinct; and, while
they had bent every effort to fasten
the guilt on two wholly innocent per
sons, the blind man had gone over
their heads to the chief of the detec
tive bureau, and had forced a confes
sion from the real murderer.
Thornley Colton merely contented
himself with a nod of recognition as
Captain McMann took the coroner
aside. For several minutes the two
held a whispered conversation. The
talk was official, uninteresting, and
Colton did not event attempt to hear,
but his super-keen ears, trained to lo
cate sounds unerringly, and to tell his
brain their meaning, were strained to
catch each significant sound in the
lobby. He knew that there were
groups of men on the seats and divans
conversing In tremulous whispers.
Manager Carl had left them the min
ute they came out of the office, and
Colton knew that he had gone to the
door of the dlnlngroom.
The blind man did not need eyes
to tell him that the suspicions of the
diners In the restaurant, aroused by
his action of feeling the wrist of the
dead man, had become tangible cer
tainty. With the typical New York
er's fear of the witness stand and the
House of Detention, the diners had
gone scurrying away, with nervous
glances at the unmoving man. The
brusque entrance of the uniformed
captain, known Immediately through
the whole floor, proved these sus
picions. Those remaining In the
lobby and diningroom were only the
morbidly curious waiting for- some
thing to develop.
Captain McMann turned from Bler
bauer and nodded to a square-chin
ned, square-toed man, who puffed a
black cigar in a leather wall chair.
The man rose and walked over leis
urely.
i "Cover the doors, Tom," Captain
McMann ordered.
"Done, cap."
"Anything?"
"Nope."
"See the book?"
"Every name. Reg'lar hotel
bunch."
"New men ?"
"Waiter. Been here two days."
"Details?"
"Nope. Not yet."
"Get 'em. Have a couple of uni
formed men cover the dinlngroom
doors."
"Yep. Heard talk of the thing.
Took a peek. Quern - case, cap."
"Uh-huh!" The captain nodded
toward the waiting coroner, and start
ed toward the restaurant.
"You aidn't lose any time, captain,"
Colton said, and there was sincere
compliment in his tone. The police j
official had had his men take care
of every possible end, from a police
viewpoint, except examining the body
and scene of the crime. That was the
work of the superior.
If the captain understood the com-

toward the table of . . hl !
The bearded man still sat in nls ,
chair; his relaxed hand was still
around the stem of the wineglass in
which the bubbles had ceased to rise.
His eyes, bright, with none of the
fishy dullness that comes to dead ej es
usually, stared straight ahead. The
bearded chin was still held high. Ihe
arm with the slashed wrist was un- j
moved. Nothing was changed; yet!
everything was different. An hour
before, there had been laughter and |
gaiety on every Bide. Now j
reigned supreme In the big dining
room. The waiters, the captains, (
leaden-footed and torpld-bralned with
the demoralization that had sent the
diners bustling away, were gathered
in small groups, whispering, glancing
apprehensively at the single occupant
of the big room. Empty dishes, empty
glasses were £tlll on the tables, be
cause discipline had gone.
Captain McMann'# eyes tooK in
every detail of the picture as he
walked to the table. Then he turned
over the hand that was palm down
and whistled a combination of sur
prise and professional satisfaction as
he saw the three gaping slashes
across the wrist artery. Then
of puzzlement came to his florid
brow. .
"How long ago did this happen.
he demanded of the nervous manager,
who stood back, wringing his hands.
"X don't know." stammered Carl.
"Mr. Colton says that he has been
dead for hours."
"Right, at that!" The admission
came scowllngly from the coroner,
who had lifted the glass of dead wine
from the relaxed lingers, and was feel
ing tl e wrist that was uncut.
"Why didn't you notify us before,
then?" asked the policeman sharply.
"Don't you know that there's a jail |
penalty for concealing crime?"
"You came within three-quarters of |
an hour after the discovery," put in
the blind man quietly.
"How's that? The man's been dead j
hours! How'd he get here?"
"Walked," answered Colton shortly.
An exclamation came from the cor
oner, as he rolled up a sleeve to the
elbow and ran his hands up the arm
to the shoulder and then down the
back. "The body 1b in a metal brace!"
he ejaculated. "Silver, by the Lord
Harry!" He exposed the silver, clev
erly hinged double circlets around the
arm above and below the elbow.
"Mr. Colton said it was steel," de
clared the manager nervously.
"Mistake number one," admitted the
problemist candidly; then he spoke
to Blerbauer: "Those gaping slashes
weren't made after death, were they,
coroner.
Bierbauer darted him a sharp
glance before he took the wrist in
hand to examine it.
"No!" The negative came with an
air of finality, and the explanation
that followed showed that he respect
ed the ability of the blind man. "The
'lay' of the slashes was made by the
flow of blood from the artery. If the
cuts had been made after death, they
would be straight, and cleanly open.
These 'lip" a trifle where the blood
has forced them up over the arterial
passage."
"Then death was caused by arter
lotomy ?"
"Yes," nodded Blerbauer. "No
doubt of it."
"What's that arter-omy thing?"
growled Captain McMann.
"Bleeding to death." Colton put it
into simple words. Then he spoke
again to the coroner: "Aren't hi 3 eyes
unusually bright?"
"How'd you know that. If your
blindness isn't bunk?" snapped the
short-tempered police captain. Thorn
ley Colton had taken the principal
part away from him, and he resented
it.
"The dullness of dead eyes would
have attracted immediate attention,"
Colton explained frankly.
"Chemical," declared the coroner, a
trifle ungraciously. The captain and
he were old friends. But he was go
ing to show the Interloper that he
knew his business, and knew it well.
"Atropine," he added.
"Uh!" Colton turned away and
spoke over his shoulder as he went
to the next table. "I thought bella
donna merely dilated the eye pupils,
lo make them lustrous. I had no
idea it would act on dead eyes!"
The coroner's face fushed as he
realized his mistake, and he muttered
something under his breath. But the
blind man had apparently forgotten
the two men. His back was toward
them, and his sensitive finger tips
were gingerly brushing a damp spot
on the cloth of the next table, mov
ing gently the sharp fragments of a
broken wineglass. With a quick mo
tion, he thrust his fingers into his
vest pocket; not quickly enough, how
ever, to escape the sharp eyes of Mc-
Mann.
"What was that?" he demanded,
;as he strode over. "What was it?"
Thornley Colton reached into his
I pocket again and held out the thing
jhe had picked up. "Merely a frag
! ment of broken wineglass, captain.
There are others there; take all you
| wart"
| AfcMann took the small piece of
I glass from the outstretched palm with
no word of apology. His brows bead
ed as he looked at it, trying to puzzle
out the ltUnd man's object in attempt
ing to conceal it. It was nothing but
a broken piece of thin wineglass stem,
like half a dozen others on the table
next to the one where sat the dead
man. But McMann was nothing if
not cautious.
"The police are m charge of this
case. I'll take care of this."
"Very well," assented Colton.
"Good-night, captain!"
Colton's ready acquiescence struck
the captain as suspicious.
"What is it?" he asked again, his
tone this time on© of assumed amuse
ment.
The race has ceased to be even,
that Is all."
The problemist nodded a good-night
to the coroner, and walked leisurely
away, a peculiar smile survlng his thin
lips. His lightning-moving fingers had
picked up two of the glass fragments.
The one that the captain had not seen
was still safe in his vest pocket.
