THE WEALTH MAKERS. Jute 7, 1S94 Rainfortli's Strange Case. By WILL LISENBEE. Oofyrifilt, 1HH, by American Trrss Associa tion.! Continued Imm la at w ink. CHAPTER II. Had the earth opened to swallow ma I tjould not bavu Ui'ii more Hitrjn ban I was at the constable s aniiutince ilMIlt. "(Jfirald Rainforth airwtHl for nuir derl" I gasped In astoiilslminiit. "Hnr iy tbers must be eouio drt uilfnl mis tukel" 'Tho officer shook hia Imad. "I liopn tbo young ninn will be alio t prove himself clear," lie said, "lnt I ho detectives claim to liavo sonio very strong ovidenee against liliu." "It is all a terriUe miMtakc. Ho in its Innocent of any crimo as yon or I," "I hope hi, but we can't always judg" by appearances.? , , "Wboro have they taken bim?" "To the Maybnrg jail." Ami with his the ofllcer bndo mo kixhI iifternoou end walked up the street. 1 1 brew my xelf into a chair find bexiin In reflect on tbo startling news I luul just beard. I in tint go to Gerald Knin furtli at once. I bad no doubt of hi in itocenvo and felt confident of bin speedy rtleuxe. I'urhaim be could eanily explain Ikiw it had bnppened that be had been .iiHjx'cU'd of comiiiitting tho crime. I knew th.it the detectives, hoping toKiiiu (ho reward, would Jump at the mott fliniHy plea to uncut twine one, , A half Imiir later I culled at the jail. 1 found Gerald Heated by the grated window, calmly pulling a cigar while bo p rutted tbo columns of n late New York paper. , He greeted me warmly ns I came in, then punned mo a t hair god bade mo be vented with an air us calm and tinrcf lied as if nothing had bappeiied. "In the iiame of heaven, what dooa this mean, UeruldV" X exclaimed, "Only another blunder of thoo atn lid, bhiekbuid detectives," ho tumwerod .firelessly, "I suppose they thought it iiocoiwary to arrest some one, and 1 bap liened to be tbo victim inducted. I hope (hey won't detain loo long," bo added, "for I bave planned to bo off fur France within a week," I wua surprised at bin expressed in tention to go away so soon, but I felt greatly relieved to know that bo regard ed bin arrcHt no lightly and bad court deuce in speedy releuse. I remained with him for neatly on hour, but to my snrprlse bo gave no liint of any circumstances regarding bin urrest. In fact, be seemed to wish to avoid tho subject altogether, and I left dim more mystified than ever. On my way to my olllco I met the mayor of 'May burg. lie bad just bad an inter view with the detective who had canned tbe arrest to be made, but that Individ-, onl, like all those of ilia profession, waa very reticent regarding tho affair, but teemed very punitive in his belief that the right man bad been captured." He liad elated, however, that Jack Peters, I ho gardener at Darkwood Hall, had recognized young Raintortli an tho man lio bud neen passing through the grounds on tbo night of tbo mnrder. Ilo bad either evidence, be asserted, which would bo brought forward at the proper time. Id spite of the light manner in which young Rainforth regarded tbo affair I recognized the fact that matter were assuming a serious complexion. He was a comparative stranger in the place. Even I, who was perhaps more intimate ly acquainted with bim than unyone in Maybnrg, knew little of his past bli ory, and it wa plain to see how eiwily mispicion might point to him, being the only stranger in the village. Was it really he whom tho gardener ad seen at Darkwood Hall on that fatal night? If ao, what errand could bave taken him tbitber? He bad never men tioned the matter to mo. Then it waB claimed that there were other things back of this which would be made known at the proper time. It did not require much reflection for me to see ibat, although I felt convinced of the young man's Innocence, tbero might be I woven about bim such a network of cir- ' eumstautial evidence us to give bun far . more trouble than be dreamed to escape i (rem Us meshes. As I walked on toward my oflice tbo surprising Intelligence I bad just re- t -ived gave mo ample food for refleo- j 4um. Then another event had occurred, which, bad it happened at any other lime, would bave caused considerable comment. The master of Darkwood 4 bill, so the report rau, had at lust come to make his abode in his long nc(eeted uniritry scat. Ft range crvaut bad been keen alwut the place, and a young wom an of siirpnsttiug lovelim-M- evidently he daughterly old Iaao DangertiVId-. bad lt'ii seen walking in the ground. When thy had arrived l no seein d to knew, fur tho metit tmirder bad so ;ilrUd ti.o ntttiition of the inhabit' tttUs ttf Mavbtirg that they gay- little lnd la evt-itts at a stcial character.

On reaching the hall I was met at the door by the housekeeper, a kindly faced woman of about 40, who conduct ed me through a long wide hall and up a flight of stairs. Then, pausing through another ball, I waa ushered into a room occupying the eastern wing of the build ing. Every article of furniture in the room betokened opulence and exquisite taste, and upon a luxurious coucb, from a curionMy fashioned dragon shaped chandelier overhead, a cluster of waxen tapers shed a subdued radiance, reveal lug the face and arms of a young worn an of surpassing beauty. Her face was of the purest type olive tinted, with traces of suffering about the delicate mouth. Her eyes were closed, and her hair trailed In a dark wavy mnsa across the snowy pillow. Tbo nurse, who was seated by the bedside, nrose as I entered, "I think she is better now," sbo said In a low tone. ".She must have fainted, for she was unconscious for somo time, but she revived, and now she has fallen asleep," I seated myself by the couch and laid my hand gently on tbo patient's wrist. Her pulse was n little weak now, but there was no indication of any specific complaint aside from what might bave been occasioned by undue excitement or overtaxed strength, 1 readily perceived Unit all sbo needed was rest and quiet and perfect freedom from ail mental disturbance, I prepared a soothing mix ture, which I instructed the nurse to administer to her when she should nwuke, but not to disturb her on any ac count as long as she would sleep. I remained nearly a half hour to see if the patient would awake, but us she did not mid seemed to be resting quietly I rose to luavo, A I did so my move ment caused her to move uneasily cpon her pillow, and drawing her left band front beneath the coverlet she threw it ucross her breast. As my eyes rested for one moment on the shapely hand I gave a start of astonishment. The liint finger was misningt Like a flash, the Mndingof the bmnun finger in the murdered man's valise came to rue, causing tne to stand there for several moment as if in a dieam. The nurse must have noticed my agita tion, for stepping noiselessly to my side she threw u light covering across tho sleeper's breast, casting ;i glance of im patience and displousure at me at the same time, Quickly recovering myself, I govo a few orders regarding the medicine I had left, then quitted the apartment and was conducted to tbo outside, where the car riage was waiting to cany me back to the village, On reaching my oflice I found other calls awaiting me, and it was almost IS o'clock before I wus permitted to retire for the night. lint it was 3 before I closed my eyes In sleep, for the strange discoveries I had made during the day rendered sleep impossible and kept my mind greatly disturbed. Wus it possible that the object found in the deud man's luggage could in any way be connected with the young luk- ItcnUH viiHflf by tltf emwh and laid my tress of Darkwood Hall? The finger missing from her baud corresponded iu every way with the one found in the murdered man's effects, yet it seemed absurd to look upon tho matter save in the light of a coincidence, iiut in spite of my efforts to die misa the matter from my mind it kept coming up, like Him quo'a ghost, and wouldn't be dowuod. At bmii a conviction began to take ptiseion of me that there waa some thing inert than a mere coincidence in the affair and ought to be inveatigated. Hhould 1 communicate my discoveries to the dftftttre and have the matter Investigated? This seemed the only course lett for me to pursue, yet I hesi tated to mm evidence that had come into my iHwsettiua through a profeaaioual call. rni the thought over the affair kept my mind agitated tilt la e la the nivbt, and then 1 liually decided to lay all the facts Is fore young Uainforth and con sult with him aa to huw 1 should pro ceed, Knun what I had learned from the Knrrnlou servant U nppeartd that the mlfttrwa i t li.uk wind Hall had arrived on the I'tU of the inenth, On Inn lilnht of the I mil I tm in u nli r had li cit vm in Hied, r rent tin it wa plain that nisi WMMtba bull w hi u the tiagvtty had tukt ii las . t was tHUitiili nt that this tact bad n t tt n km wu at tlx tim thu itittitt bud Uftt hld.

Hut as a duty I owed not only to justice, but to one who waa my friend, I was resolved to make an investigation of the matter. Early on the, 'following morning I called on Gerald Rainforth, who was still confined in the jail awaiting pre liminary examination. 1 found bim still cheerful regarding tbe prospect of bis release, yet I could notice a gloomy cast upon bis countenance at times, which plainly told of some deep mental trou ble. . "Do you know," I said after we had exchanged friendly greetings, "that the gardener at Darkwood Hall claims to identify you as the man bo saw pass ing through tbe grounds at tho ball on tbe night of the mnrder?" I saw him start visibly as I made tho announcement, and for a moment bo re mained silent. Then be said: "Of course that proves nothing." "Certainly not," I went on, "but it is a very unfortunate circumstance that tbo old gardener should make such a stnpid mistake." "JJut it isn't n mistake," be answered. "What I Then it was really you whom bo saw on the grounds that Bight?" "Yes." I looked at bim in astnnJiduncnl, He not iced my look and ndded; "Of coutso you aro surprised at my being there nt that time?" I nodded iisi;eii(. He arose and paced the room for sev eral moments,, his bead bent as if in deep thought, Tbn he walked to a ta ble by tbe window, and picking up a roll of manuscript came mid laid it in my band. "This will explain matters to you," be said. "Yon are tho only friend I have on earth in whom I can confide. When you have read this, coino to me, and I will tell you of my plans. 1 have telegraphed to New York for my attor ney uud a detective. They arrived early this morning, and I am now expecting them every moment. "I thiiiik you for your confidence," I said, "and let me assure yon thut what ever circumstances inuy point to thu con trary I shall never question your inno cence" Ho pressed my band warmly, "I um more than grateful for your friendship and the assurance of your confidence in my Innoccnco," be re plied. "I trust soon to prove to you that it has not been misplaced." "Cieruld, I said, "I have made some important discoveries in this case, and it was to acquaint you with these that I come this morning." I then related the circumstance of tny discovering tho human finger con taining tho diamond ring in the mm- dered man's luggage; then of my visit to Darkwood Hull, of Miss Dungerfield's sudden illness und the discovery that one of her fingers wus missing. A look of utter astonishment and per plexity crossed bis face at my revelation. "It s something that I can t under stand," he remarked after a loug pause, "It is very strange very strange." It is indeed, I answered, "and I think tbe facts ought to be given to the detectives at once." "No, no," be said, with sudden en ergy. "Keep your uiscovertes a secret for tbo present. 'I have good reusons for asking this reasons which you shall know in duo time,' "But surely this matter ought to be investigated ut ouce," 1 replied, not a little puzzled at his strange request. "Yon are accused of a great crime, and it is my duty as well ns yours to see that everything relating to the matter should bo brought to light," "I know it," he replied, "but! should prefer that yon keep your discoveries a secret for n short time at least. Re member that I ask this thinking it is for the best." "But the preliminary examination is set lor this evening, and there is no time for delay." "Never fear about that. I will con sult with my attorney and then decide on somo course of action. We can in troduce you as a witness if wo think proper to do so." "Just as you please," I replied. ' I am willing to do whatever you advise." At this instant the jailer came to tho door and announced that a gentleman was waiting to seo the prisoner. "It's my attorney," said Oerald. Then to tho jailer, "Show hint iu im mediately," Thrusting tbo mannscrlpt which tbe young man bad given mo into my pock et, I withdrew from the room, promis ing to be present at the preliminary ex amination. It is hardly necessary to state that 1 waa considerably mystified at young Rainforlh's strange conduct, yet I saw no course left but M tullow hia advice. Ha wsa ceitaiuly the most iuterented wrty in the affair and would doubtle ikiwhat waa most to hi own advantage. My call kept mo biuy till near tbe middle of tha afteriim n. Then eating A huriietl Inmli I started for the court house, not yet having found time b da I thu tiiatiuvcript tlerald bod given me. What strange story the manuscript bad to tell I w a vt y atuioua In awt r tain, but It waa far lti)retuiNrtant that I le pit m in ut tbe prvlimlnary.

He would ehoi tly be in possession of evidence, be confidently assertal, which wonld not only result in estab lishing bis own innocence, but would se cure the conviction of the real criminal. How this evidence was to lie obtained or what was its character be gave no hint. He would introduce no evidence at the preliminary examination in fact, he had none to offer at present, be saidbut he felt confident that no evi dence could be offered against him of sufficient Importance to prevent his be ing admitted to bail. The first witness called for tbe prose cution was James Marks, who bad dis covered tbe body of tbe murdered man. His testimony was substantially the same as that given nt tbe inquest. Tbe next witness was Juck Peters, tbe gar dener at Darkwood Hall. He stated that he saw the prisoner passing through the grounds at tho ball about S o'clock on tho night of the mur der. Ho bad seen his face distinctly in the moonlight. He was coming from tho direction of the bouse and going to ward tho spot where the murder bad taken place, He did not know the man at tho time, but had seen and recog nized bim while in Mayburg a few days later. He was positive that the prisoner was the same mui be bad seen in thu Darkwood Hall grounds. Tbo next witness to tako the stand was Webb Davis, h laborer. The sub stance of bis testimony was ns follows: "My name is Webb Davis, I um a laborer and reside on the Huntley farm, three miles southwest of Mayburg, in tho statu of New York. I am employed as a farm laborer by Mr. Bontley. I was in Mayburg on Hept, 10, I camoon foot, I left lor homo about H o'clock, I did not go by (ho roud, but to shorten my journey I took u near cut through tho Darkwood park. When about mid way of tbe park and about an eighth of a mile from "the road, I saw a man com ing at a rapid walk from tho direction of tbo hall and traveling toward May burg. I stopped in t he shadow of u tree. He passed wif bin a rod of where I stood. I saw bis fare in the moonlight. He did not seo me, to my knowledge. I rec ognize the prisoner hero as tbe man seen in tbo park." John Judd, tho porter at the Redfbdd Inn, was the next witness. I will only give the lending points of bis testimony, which were as follows: "I am employed as porter at the Red field inn, 1 have known the prisoner since the 1st of last July, when ho came to tbo inn to stay. He is a painter nnd has two of tbe bett rooms in tbo house. Ho has always paid liberally for every thing he received. He sts-nt a good deal of his time sketching scenes in tbe vicin ity of Mayburg. He was at the inn on Sept. 10, About half past Won tho even ing of the 10th bo left tho inn. He did not return till between 8 and 9 o'clock. 1 was on the porch as he came in. He seemed greatly disturbed, for he paced restlessly up und down the torch for some time. Then be went to his room. 1 don't think ho retired. I went to bed at about 10, I think it was almost mid night when I wus awakened by hearing voices in tint office Is low. I got up and dressed and went down stairs. As I passed tho room occupied by the pris oner I saw that n light was still burn ing. He was not In tho habit of leav ing his light burning after retiring, "1 found tho constable in tbo office talking with the proprietor, ilo (the officer) informed me that a mnrder bad been committed and wanted to know if there were any strangers staying at tho place. I went down to Dr. Dixon's of fice uud saw tbe murdered mun. I didn't seethe prisoner among tho crowd there. I think be remained at tbo inn. He seemed out of sorts for days after the mnrder nnd spoke of going abroad soon and got me to assist him in pack ing some of his things. On the second day after tho murder I was cutting some weeds in the yard when 1 found this knife under the prisoner's window." Heie tho witness produced a largo pocketknife, with a blade about 5 inches long, which opened and fastened with a catch. Tito blade wus almost covered with blood. Tbo knife was passed to the justice, und a greut sensation rau through the conrtroom. Bat at that instaut there was a little stir near tho door. Those who were packed in thu uisle liegau to move aside to allow some one to puss who wus ap proaching through the crowd. Present ly a womuii richly dressed came through the aisle, Ho wore a thick veil over her face, Approaching the sheriff, she said something In a low tone. Instantly the ofllcer conducted her forward to the justice's desk, "If your honor pleases," tho c filet r said, "hero ii it lady that wants to 1 put on the witness stuud. Hie stub- that she baa n ctuifotwiou to make that w ill t kar up the whole myntt-ry sur rounding this eaxe."
