However, I ,jalked it over wltii
her; I said I'd engage passage for
the two of us, jand we would sail.
v Then she suggested having a little
. ' divorce party I at the Club- New
York. She always was doing braz
en things in tie belief they were
picturesque. The husband consent
ed to come. Not so much for the
sake of his wife, I imagine, but
because he had heard possibly that
I was paying attention to his fi
ancee.' FirBt I got the Major up to the
house, however. Then as soon as I
- made sure he w.as asleep I went,
out through the adjoining apart
ment The Russian was still up,
,. and I explained that there was a
woman below waiting for me, and
I didn't want to see her. I got
down Into the street and called for
Mrs., Edison.
We bird a perfectly sad time at
the club, and. then droYe Mrs.
Edison to her hotel, and left her
the're. I went back by the other
apartment. I sneaked into my own
apartment and took the Major's
Vglin. Then, under the. pretense of
discussing some new developments
on the- diamond, I got to talking
with the Russian. .While he was
completely off his guard I shot
him.
Inspector Marx reminds me
about Mrs. Edison: Yes, I used
her, too, in my scheme. I wanted
her to absolutely clinch the fact
that I had been murdered, and I
. . conceived the plan of having her
- come up to the apartment.
I told her, of course, that I
. would only disappear. I dilated
at great length tocher of my sus:
picions of the Russian, and toll
her I had arranged a fake murder,
""lirstni i 1 help me.
I figured, when she found out
that I was actuary murdered, her
rief would convince the final
skeptic that I was really dead.
Inspector Marx's face seems con
temptuous as I dictate this.
m But when a man" contemplates
murder, he does not stop at tri
fles. I realized 1 1 had a tremen
dously' dangeroijs undertaking on
. my hands. I had "to do the Job
thoroughly and painstakingly or
not at all.
, ' 'rid.the fact remains that in
the entire course of the inquiry,
as much as I could follow at leastr
there was never a hint that I was
alive; that the murdered man was
a Russian. At least credit will be
given me for the success of my
plans.
Now I come to the events after
the murder, after I had shot the
Russian as planned and I was con
vinced be was dead.
I owed the itlajor some money
and paid him. He .signed a receipt
for the monev. I then conceived
i the idea of erasing his name ,30
! tha all that remained would be
"Paid in Full." This I designed to
be the first clue to my supposed
murderer.-
What followed was ticklish bus
iness, and repulsive, I hadn't bar
gained for it but it had to be done.
I put my wig on his head and
dragged him to the living, room,
where; the Major slept roundly. I
bOD Y POISONS HASTEN
THE EVIDENCE OF AGE
Keep "Organs of Elimination" Functioning Properly,
and You Can Look Forward to Many Decades
of Vigorous Life, Says Dr. Co pel and.
liy ROYAL S. COPELAND, M D.
. United States Senator from Nlew York.
I oriticr Commissioner of Health. New York City. ,
WHEN the word poison is mentioned, ye think of carbolic aciJ
or corrosive sublimate. If not one oft these, it may be Prussic,
. acid. Everybody is afraid of a bottlejf its label carries a
skull and cross-bones.
Hut whien one person is harmed by- one of
these, a thousand, perhaps ten thousand are n ore
r less seriously harmed by poisons we rarely
hear mentioned. -These evil effects come -om
substances produced bv the body itself.
Fortunately for us there are certain organs
whose chief function Is to get rid of these dan
gerous products. The kidneys, the intestines,
the liver and the skin, when they are normal In
their operations, carry away these evil things.
They filter, oat of the. blood artd separate from
the intake of the system those substances which
.mieht harm us.
These are what we call the "organs of elim
ination." When all of them function as they
should, we continue in good health. We stay
young and active We have enerzy and the
ability to express it
in a sense, old age is due to the effect of
body Poisons. Failure to eliminate these harmful substances results
in certain tissue Changes. The sum total of these changes is that
physical state we regard as the evidence of age.
There Is an old saying, frequently used bv many persons. It is
uai i-ommon greeuni? now is your
Uver?'
Perhaps we might as well a&k:
"Ilow old are vou?" or "How old do
you feel?"
Of course, old age is not a state of
mind But yon might as well be old

placed the body in the chair, fae
ing the mirror.
Then, holding my breath for
fear the Major would wake up, I
put the gnn back where I had
found it, and sneaked back to the
adjoining apartment.
From that moment Oliver Sew-
ell was dead, and the apartment
no longer mine.
I had tie diamond.
Meanwhile, I decided to stay In
the next apartment and watch de
velopments carefully. I knew I
was safe. 1 merely wanted to make
sure my planjs went well.1 I had
already decided to sail in two
weeks.
The police came. I listened to
them whenever I could, and I
laughed at their simplicity. How
excited they gpt when the most
preposterous clues were advanced.
But thenits not my task to criti
cize the JOl!ce. I flatter myselfl
manage to puztle them consid
erably. Now I had a Russian butler in
my employ. I (tad a vague suspi
cion that he was after something
perhaps the diamond rbut since
he was a fool, and an excellent
butler, I never worried much
about him. There I was wrong.
One day when I had gone out
of my new apartment into the old
one, the police came suddenly. I
was forced to hide in the kitchen.
As luck would have it, the butJer
came in and stared at me. He was'
about to shout out. I always car
ried a revolver with me, and be
fore I knew what I was doing, I
shot him. Then I made my way
into the corridor, while the police
wet searching the kitchen, and I
remained securely hidden in the
next Apartment.
Young Edison was in the apart
ment at the time, and from what
I could overhear, he was sluspected
of having shot f lie butler.jThis re
lieved me considerably. 'Thia : ec
ond and unpremeditated1 murder
shook my nerves. I determined to
get away.
But I had to wait until the po
lice cooled down a bit. And While
I waited, I' thought the best joke
of all would be to KfetThe Major's
niece up to the apartment, and in
the guise of a friend jiiake love, to
her. So I wrol her a letter and
deposited it in the apartment
chute, saying that she would learn
something that would help Mr.
Edison if she came. Unfortunately
although the girl came, the police
were there, too, and sent her home.
I suppose it was a foolhardy thing
to do, but I felt very safe, some
how. . . .
For I was keeping tabs .on the
inquiry. My plans seemed to be
working out better than I expect
ed. One thing went wrong. The
Major woke up too soon and es-
c aped before the alarm was given.
I understand he threw away the
gun I used. He, was always lucky.
I thought I had him, but fuck V as
with him. '
However, I didn't worry much
about a suspect. The' police had
no doubt that Oliver Bewell was
murdered; I had the diamond; all
was well.
My next step was to take pas

"Do you know who this man

him. "I'm afraid we're a little
ahead of you this time."
"You have arrested him?"
-Yes."
"He will die?"

"Whai if I bare?"
"By God, thaVa right," Marx
exclaimed. "It's yours as much as

"The diamond: is going back to
Russia, where it belongs," said
the girl. "It has brought nothing
but misfortune, t want nothing of

from you today. Mr. Sewell. And I
took it from them, and I shall

The doctor winced. '
"Sorry to do this to you," Sew

Marx could only grunt in rage
It was a matter of a moment
before Marx and the doctor were
bound to the bedsteads. Then

"Everything's prepared," she
told Sewell. "Everything. Hurry!"
"Ready," said Sewell, and he
smiled at Marx grimly. "Sorry" to

Knarf. Hanid and Flor agreed
at once. Yam held back.
