"What I k£1.e discovered quite clears* Sir .(Meatsliim?’ he exclaimed. "Then *tiat do you mean by looking at mo in that lugubrious way? Speak out What have you discovered?" iho detective looked at him for a lew seconds in silence; then he said, with slow, deliberate emphasis: ,,j9 there any one else you can think #< besides Sir Keith himself, who bid reason to desire the death of frlpir Verschoyle?" , • >'o one in the world. Except tsdy llenham; and she of course is" ••Ah. yes. except Lady Denham"— put in the detective speaking in the wrae significant kind of way and tap ping the back of one hand with the pngei-; of the other—"except Lady .Denham!” • <iood heavens! what are you driv ing at?” exclaimed Kennard angrily. -Do you mean to imply that Lady Denham committed the murder? Pooh! vou are raving.’’ • I am not raving; sir. answered Scott in respectful, but dogged tones, which somehow carried conviction with them. ••'1'hat is what I mean. The Frenchwoman’s statement was en tirely false, She made it to screen her mistress. I had my suspicions from the first only 1- hadn't enough to £o upon. These suspicions are now confirmed unquestionably.” Kennard sat aghast This solution of the problem had simply never oc curred to him. He put it away from him now like some unclean thing. Ami yet with inconceivable rapidity, there Hashed across his unwilling mind numberless circumstances and Incidents which, alas! seemed to place themselves together with ap palling accuracy and ease. "Well?” he said curtly, after a somewhat lengthy pause. The detective took out It's note book and read as follows: ••On the evening of Sunday, the 23d of June—the night before the murder—a lady who gave ho name called upon Mr. Verschoyle at the private hotel in Dover street where he was staying" "Why was this not mentioned at the inquest?" put in Kennard sharply. "Because” returned Koott •■tiie waiter who showed her up. and who gave me the information, left tbo fol lowing day for another situation.

But I could find no trace of him .until to-day. when I went to said -address, found he had returned, and got all I could out of him—without of course; lett ng him know who 1 was. He hadn’t even heard of itibe murder. This man. whose name; toy the way. is1 Dank Barnes, informed tne;" here Scott referred to his note-book again, •that on the evening of Sunday, the 23d of June; he was Crossing .the ihaU; at No. — Dover street when he saw a lady admitted by the hall -porter, i The lady asked to see Mr. Verschoyle. . ™ ' uaruus; saowea ner upstairs ana into Mr. Y'erschoyle’s sitting-room, that gentleman having just finished “inner. Barnes lingered in .tlbe pas lingo outside the sitting-room door, in case he might be wanted (no be said), “nd thus beard scraps of their con ferial ion. He distinctly heard the lady say \ery excitedly: '"When you made me yontr wife long ago’— Then came words he could not hear. After a time he heard the lady say: --Many a time in the ™* days I swore to hill you. I swear ~ kill you now. if you carry out your fhreat’ A few minutes passed, dur lnS which ho could not make out 'that was said by either. Thea he iheard a l£in(j Qf rusij; ao)| \lP.

No? thea Inst put it back again, my dear, and ~>n t disarrange your coiffure on my ■ count-’ The lady then said in a nnspmg kind of voice: -Ah—I was •*wt quick enough—but you shall not fsftj.pe me the next time.' Here “•c .words became unintelligi 8 and after that she •waled so hysterical. and Mr. ersuboyie spoke in such a low B*rnes oouj(j pot males fthtsig further that waa said. t>01* B quarter of an hoar later the came out.

Then he said in quick, irrita ble tones: “But if Lady Denham, oommitted the murder, which I cannot believe, why Should she have screamed as she did, and brought a whole crowd of people round her? And besides." he continued, with a sudden thought, •the doctors said life hrd been ox tlnct for half an hour when the bodv was discovered. Why did she wait all that time and then scream? The thing is preposterous." As he spoke he flung himself back in his chair, nnd knitted his brows in a heavy perplexed frown. "My theory is this." suid the do tectiye. quietly: •After she had committed the crime she fainted and when she came to herself agusn. and found herself alone with the dead body of her husband—then she screamed"— ••And how do you account for none of her guests finding her while she was in this hypothetical swoonP” put in Kennard sarcastically. •The fernery door. I understand was locked on the inside ” was the answer. -On that night neither it nor the library were thrown open to Lady Denham’s guests I think that when Lady L'eaham recovered from her faint (and just before or after she screamed she unlocked the door, and tried to get away from the dead body; but fear, or horror, or both, prevented her. In her confusion and. terror she turned to the door leading to the conservatory, instead of that leading into the library." ••And how did she conceal the weapon?" ••Ah. that is just the point that puzzles me—I don’t know. . One thing has occurred to me. How does Lady Denham wear her hair? ’ ••Wear her hair? I don't know. What has that to do with it?” said Kennard, testily-, •Have you ever seen her wear a dagger in her hair?” asked Sco*A significantly. Kennari started. ••I can’t tell you. I’ve no idea. Do you mean? Do you think-.? ’ ••£ mean that the doctors said the wound had evidently been inflicted by some three-cornered instrument Now I remember once being on a job in some foreign town where a woman murdered another woman with an ornamental dagger she wore in her hair. Why- not in this ease? Voraehoyle telling her to put it back, and telling her not to disarrange her coiffure, seems to point to the possibility.” ■•Good heavens!” exclaimed Ken nard, -rising and walking -excitedly about tbe room. •■Does Mr. Cormgham know what you have just told me?" be said, after a minute’s silence. "Does he know of this man Barnes’ statement, 1 mean?” •-No sir. Me is in Yorkshire. He said 1 was to bring any information I obtained to you. I have mentioned it to no one; .and I told Barnes he had •better ho d bis tongue in the mean time. in case he got into trouble. It's the-only argument likely tojiavq any •effect on ;a tool like him. As for the Frenchwoman, we must .get hold of .her." After a few more questions. Ken uiard bade the man a mechanical • Good-night." and enjoined him to .take :no further steps until he could see -him-on the -following day—-except -in tracing Klise Devorne. -if this be iproved.” Kenuard said to himself as-he sat thinking deeply, far into the Bmall hours—"If thii be pitoved. it will break Denham’s heart. Poor old-chap Poor .old-chap! It’s au •awful price to pay for his release. There is some .horrible mistake some where; for I could swear to that poor child’s innocence almost as I could to m.y>owu. .And yet—’’ * CHAPTER IX. .A Terrible Alternative. iBy 'the next day Simon Scott rfound itihat, in spite of his shrewd injunction .to Barnes matters ihad precipitated ,themselves.a good deal, for the lat ter. in a fever of excitement at hold ing such important evidence in such .an important <case; had reported all he had seen and heard .to .the author ities at Scotland Yard. The .consequence of his communica tion .was that a warrant .was immedi &.ely issued for Lady Denham's ap prehension. Leonard, thongh in .a manner .pre pared for .this, felt horribly shocked unA distressed when he realized that his friend's wife was actually charged with such .a hideous crime—revolting and awful enough in a .man. .but doubly so in a woman. He .could not Daring himself to ibeiieve in her guilt, nor couid hia wife who had hurst into (passionate indignant tears when Ken nar.d told her'Scott's news. A warm friendship had sprung up between the two women some years age end Gladys Leonard was the loyallest of friends. Nevertheless, aot oven to her had Olive Denham given any him, «F her first marriage; indeed, she was singu larly reticent regarding her life prev ious to her marriage with Sir Leith. And Gladys though frank to a fault herself, bad never dreamed of ques tioning her. it was late in the afternoon on the rday following Scott's visit to Ken paird. Gladys Leonard and Lady Den Ram were alone in the former's little morning-room, which had been given up to Olive since she was able to leave her bedroom. She (Olive) fas lying back- wearily in a chair near the win dow. Bar bands clasped in her lap., her beautiful face utterly expression less. her eyed gazing unseeingly across the dusty square. Gladys was walk ing slowly up and down the room; but she started and became very pale as the door opened av'd her husband en tered. A glance at his face told bar what hod happened. •Leave ua dear." he whispered to her. in agitated tones a* she crossed the room to meet him. "I—l roust speak to her. Scott and another de tective are down-stairs. ” _ "Ob. Haroourt" said Gladys fat at* ly. 'bit—is it what you feared?" "Yo&" ho answered. *<id dear.” When slid hud left the room, Ken nard advanced towards Oliva Sha , . had not seemed to be aware of his en trance; but she turned toward him ' now, and tried to sroilo. Her face was so whlta so still, so sweet! It was not the face of u murderess, he thought—forgetting how the soul may contradict the body sometimes. He took a chair near hers, and gently, very gently, broke his terrible tidings. Then her face changed—sud denly. awfully. ••You must not- think.” he added hurriedly, looking away from her, wide, terror-stricken eyes, • -that I. for one moment suspect you—the thing is impossible.” • I)o you not?" she said. "Ah! that is good of you." She spoke in u slow, deliberate kind of way; her hands were claspod lightly on her breast her breath oame in quick little gasps a rapidly-changing eombinatlon of expressions flitted across her white, rigid face. During the next two minutes there was an utter silence; for Kennardwas struggling with a troublesome lump in his throat which made speech dif ficult just then.. Suddenly Olive spoke. ■•You ure very good." she said putting up one hand to her throat with a convulsive uncertain move ment and speaking in a low. hoarse voice wh ch did not sound like her own. "very good—and very—k nd. But—it is of no—use.” • You must not say that” saidKen nard husk ly. os he took one of her cold little hands in his. She looked at him and withdrew her hand. Something in her expres sion struck him w.th an unpleasant chill; her qnnatural composure gave him a vague feeling of alarm. •Dear Lady Denham." he said, with deep concern, ••let mo assure you again that—" ••Wat!” she interrupted him. and a slow, terrible sm le that froze his blood settled around her Ups. "Wait! I—I do not deny the charge." For a moment or two Kennard maintained a petrified silence. Had he beard aright? Then a sudden thought struck him. and he said sooth ingly: ••You are excited and overwrought. You do not—” [TO BE CONTINUED. ] FORTY MILES HIGH. Auroras Have Reached That Height, It Is , Claimed* The scientists of the Royal Dan'sh academy nave recently made public the results of some interesting experi ments, which were conducted for the sole purpose of ascertaining the exact or, at any rate, the approximate, height of the aurora borealis. At Godthaabt M. Adorn Paulsen, with two theodolites situated only four miles apart . ound that the height of d.ffer ect auroral d'splays varied from one tQ forty miles! Near Cape Farewell w.th a base 1 ne o' three-fourths of a mile in length, the best calculations ob tainable placed different auroras at from one to ten miles in height; at Spitsbergen it was shown that they range from a height of one-third to eighteen miles. In this connection it will not prove uninteresting to mention some of the remarkable opinions en tertained by the early experimenters in this line. Flogel estimated the height of the various aurorae observed by him at from 90 to 310 miles above the earth; Reimaon found that one observed by him was at least 500 miles high, and Nordenskjold’s earlier deductions gave such phenomena an average height of 125 miles. Then Leemstrome came forward with the announcement that he had taken notes and observations on an auroral display that was not separated from the earth by more than 1.000 feet; while Hilderbrandson concurred to the extent of declaring that many of the displays were below the clouds. This latest experimenter on the au roral line infers that aurora; only ap pear at a considerable height in tem perate zones while in the auroral zone proper the phenomenon is gen erally produced in the lower atmos phere. The (Mem tl > ffsmp. The Dismal swamp in Virginia, one of the largest of the swampy tracts in America is also ooe of the mo3t prom ising areas for reclamation. It.con tains fully 1,500 square miles and is ;Ht present of little value, except for a supply of timber. It is an old sea bottom, and the western boundary of .the swamp is a sea cliff and beach. The chief animal population of th9 ihigber classes consists of water birds ;and snakes Of the larger animals, bears are abundant, and there is a pe culiar.and very ferocious species of wild -horned cattle. The lights of the ibears are said to bo very exciting. DM One Good Deed. .One of ithe most successful misers ion record .died recently at Charlotten -burg.

In America skelaton* are neither legal tender nor monuments of title, but It Is different at the antipodes—in that ns in many other things In New Zealand, for instance, a European can not acquire title to a new piece of land till the individual Maori title is extin guished, and that has to bo done before a native land court. In this court the ••thuongas" or judges of local law de clare that there is no valid title unless the last preceding owner’s thoracic skeleton be produced. It appears that among the Maoris, when the land of a descendant becomes the property of another man the new-comeir hangs np the skeleton of the descendant's body fashioued into a cage, with a parrot in side the ribs. This is fact before the eyes of all and no one would dare to dispute the claims of the holder of such paramount evidence. A Tonic That mulcts the Nerves.

The people of Manitou were enter tained the other day by the spectacle of a man carrying a stone around a triangular track, letting it drop and shouldering it again at every turn. The performer was a man who has a reputation for a disinclination to labor, and the incident was the outcome of a wail he was making about the hard times and his inability to get work. A citizen told him he would not work if he got the chance and offered him SO cents an hour as long as he would carry the stone. To the surprise of all he ac cepted the offer and held out for five hours. A large crowd gathered to watch the performance.—Denver Re publican.
