"I gathered from what she told me.” gaid Swain, his face flushing with ang er. "that she has been praetllly a pris oner ever since the yogi arrived. Be sides. even if she had succeeded in mailing the letter, it wouldn’t have reached me until too late.” “In what way too late?” “Her father seems to have had a. sudden turn for the worse yesterday: he became almost violent in insisting that she consent to his plan. Ho told her that the life of his own soul, as well as that of hers, depended upon it. He threatened—1 don’t know what. The yogi talked to her afterwards. He. or course, believed, or pretended to be lieve. as her father did; moreover, he told her that her father would certain ly suffer a serious mental shock if she refused, perhaps a fatal one. in de Bpair, she finally agreed, on the condi tion that she be given three days in which to prepare herself, if she did not hear from me in that time, she had made up her mhid to consent. Swain stopped again, and I lay back in my chair, wondering if such things were possible in this Twentieth cen tury. here within the boundaries of Greater New York! My brain reeled at the absurdity of it! “Vaughan was undoubtedly suffer ing from mania.” said Dr. Hlnman, in a low voice. “The symptoms, as Mr. Swain describes them, are unmistak Ub"It was that argument I used,” said Swain “I told her that, since he was clearly mad. she must, in self defense place herself beyond his reach. But she refused to leave him. Then. I ai gued, in kindness to him she must to SOITie lllStltU tion where he would be taken care ere, and where he might, in time, regain Ws sanity. I told her that it would be criminal folly to permit him to remain longer under the influence of the yogi. She had to agree with me; and she finally consented to sign an affidavit to the facts as I have told them, and a petition asking that a commission be appointed to examine her father. You were to have drawn up the papers to day, Mr. Hester, and I was to have taken them to her for signature tonight. "That would have settled the mat ter," said Godfrey, thoughtfully. ‘Its too bad it wasn’t settled in that way. What else happened, Mr. Swain? "Miss Vaughan had grown very nervous, with all this discussion, and at last she sprang to her feet and said she must go, or her father would dis cover her absence. We rose to leave the arbor, and at that instant, a white-robbed figure sprang to her side, seized her and tore her away from me. I was too startled for an Instant to resist; then, as I started toward them, Marjorie pushed me back. “‘Go! Go!’ she cried. ‘It is my fault!’ “But he stopped me. In a voice shak ing and husky with rage, he warned me that if I entered the place again, my life would be forfeit. I can’t re peat the horrible things he said. I could see his eyes gleaming like a wild beast’s. He cursed me. I had never been cursed before," and Swain smiled thinly, “and I confess it wasn’t pleas ant. Then lie led his daughter away. "I stood staring after them. I didn’t know what to do. I felt like a mad man myself. I sat down and tried to collect my thoughts. I saw that some new plan must be made—that there was no hope of meeting Marjorie again. I was sick with fear for her; 1 thought of following to the house and compell ing her to come with me at once. And then, suddenly, I saw two eyes gleam ing at me. They were not human eyes —they were too close together—and they were swaying gently back and forth in the air, about a foot from the ground. I gazed at them, fascinated, and then I heard a soft, low whistle, followed by a faint hissing as the eyes fell forward. “In a flash. I knew what it was—the cobra; I knew why it was there— Vaughan had said my life was forfeit. I sprang up with a shriek, dashed along the seat to the door and out into the darkness. I struck my head against something—a tree, I suppose; but I kept on, and reached the wall and got over it somehow—it is all confused, after that. I seem to remember hear ing Marjorie scream, and finding her lying beside he# father, who was dead —but I can’t put things together," and he rubbed his head helplessly. “i'll put them together for you.” said Godfrey. “When you ran into the tree, you suffered a partial concussion. It's lucky it wasn’t total, or Toto would have got you!” I OIU . "That, I believe. Is the cobra's name," explained Godfrey, with a smile: "unless, of course, there are two of them.” And lie told Swain in detail of the events which had followed. Swain listened with staring eyes. I did not blame him. Indeed, I felt that my own eyes were staring a little, though l already knew the story. But Godfrey, with a gift or narration horn of long newspaper experience, tokl it in a way that made its horror salient and left one gasping. "There is one question I want to ask you, Swain,” he said, in conclusion, ‘‘anrl I want you to think carefully be fore you answer it. During your alter cation with Mr. Vaughan, did you at any time touch him?” “Touch film? No, of course not," and Swain shook his head decidedly. “You are sure of that?” asked God frey earnestly. “Perfectly sure." said Swain, looking at him In astonishment. "I was never within three feet of him." Godfrey sprang to l.is feet with a gesture of relief "I seem to need a cocktail,” he said. In another tone. “Isn't that the pre scription for all of us. doctor'?” “Yes." assented Hlninan, smiling, “and, after that, complete change of subject!” CHAPTER XII. GUESSES AT THE RIDDI/E. We tried to follow Dr. Hinman's pre scription. but not witli any great suc cess. for it is difficult to talk about one thing and think about another. So the doctor took himself off, before long, and Swain announced that he himself would have to return to the city. He had come out without so much as a tooth brush, lie pointed out; his trous ers were in a lamentable condition, and, while Godfrey’s coat was welcome, it was far from a perfect fit. "Which reminds me,” he added, "that 9 I don’t know what has become of my own coat and shirt." I looked at Godfrey quickly. “No, I forgot them," he said. "They are over in the library at Elmhurst," he added to Swain. “You can get them tomorrow." "I shall have to be there tomorrow, then'?” “Yes, at the Inquest; I've promised to produce you there," I said. "At what time?" “You'd belter be there by 10." "Very well; that's all the more rea son for getting back to my base of supplies. If I went on the stand look 'JS ,ike this, the jury would probably think I was the murderer!” he added, laughing. My answering smile was decidedly thin. Godfrey did not even try to force one. "Wait a few minutes," he suggested, and I'll take you down in my car. 111 try to get back, Lester," he added apologetically. ‘Tm fur from an ideal host—but you’ll find some books on my desk that may Interest you—I got. them up today. Take a look at them after dinner." Ho went back to bring out his car, and Swain sat down again beside me. “Mr. Lester," he said, in a low voice, "I hope you haven’t forgotten your promise." “What promise?" “To put Miss Vaughan in a safe place and to look after her Interests." “No,” I Bald, “I haven’t forgotten. I am going to ask to see her after the inquest tomorrow. If she wishes us to represent her, we will." "And to protect her,” he added quickly. "She hasn’t even a mad fa ther now!" “She’s safe enough for the present,” I pointed out. “Dr. Ulema n has em ployed another nurse, so that one is with her all the time.” x won i uu satisfied," said swain, ‘until you get her out of that house and away from those damned Hindus. One nurse, or even two, wouldn’t stop them." “Step them from what?” "I don’t know," and he twisted his fingers helplessly. “Well, the police will stop them. There are three er four men on duty there, with orders to let no one in or out.” His face brightened. “Ah, that’s better.” he said. “I didn’t know that. How long will they be there?” "Till after the inquest, anyway.” “And you will see Miss Vaughan aft er the inquest?” “Yes.” "And urge her to go to Mr. and Mrs. Royce ?” “Yes—but I don’t think she’ll need much urging. I'll get a note from Mrs. Royce. I’ll telephone to Mr. Royce now, and you can stop and get the note as you come up In the mornimr." Godfrey’s car glided up the drive and stopped at the porch. Swain held out his hand and clasped mine warmly. "Thank you, Mr. Lester,” he said; and a moment later the car turned In to the highway and passed from sight. Then I went In, got Mr. Royce on the ’phone, and gave him a brief outline of the incidents of the night before. He listened with an eoctama- 1 tion of astonishment from time to time, and assented heartily when I suggested i that Miss Vaughan might be placed in ■ Mrs. Royce’s care temporarily. “She’s a beautiful grfrl," I concluded, i 'and very young. I agree with Swain that she mustn’t be left alone in that house.’’ i "Certainly she mustn’t,” said my : partner. "I’ll have Mrs. Royce write the note, and get a room ready for i her.” "Of course,” I said, “it’s possible she : won’t come—though I believe she’ll be '■ glad to. Or there may be a family lawyer who wHl want to look after her. Only she didn’t appear to know of any when she was talking to Swain.” “Well, bring her along if you can,” said Mr. Royce. “We’ll be glad to have her. And take your time about com ing back, if you’re needed up there. : We’re got ting along all right.” I thanked him, and hung up; and, presently, Mrs. Hargis came to sum mon me to dinner. That meal over, I I went In to Godfrey’s desk to see what the books were be had suggested that ' 1 look at. There was quite a pile of them, and I saw that I they all related to mysticism or < to the religions of India, There was i Sir Monier Williams’ “Brahmanism i and Hinduism,” Hopkins’ "The Relig ions of India,” a work on crystalloman- > cy, Mr. Lloyd Tuokey’s standard work '1 an “Hypnotism and Suggestion,” and some half dozen others whose titles I have forgotten. And, as I looked at them, I began to understand one rea- I son for Godfrey’s success as a solver it mysteries—no detail of a subject ever escaped him. i Lit my pipt:, uuwii, iuiu whs soon loep in tlie lore of the east. I must 1' confess that I did not make much of ' i It. In that maze of superstition, the ^' most I could do was to pick up a thread ! : here and there. The yogi had referred • to the White Night of Siva, and I soon Found out that Siva is one of the gods i if Hinduism—one of a great trilogy— i Hrahma the creator, Vishnu the pre server, and Siva the destroyer. He had ; llso spoken of the attributes of Kali, tnd, after a little further search, I dis covered that Kali was Siva’s wife—a , most unprepossessing and fiendish fe male. But when I passed on to Hinduism ; itself, and tried to understand its ten ets and its sects, I soon found myself j cut of my depth. They were so jum- , bled, so multitudinous, and so diverse i that I could get no clear idea of them. ; 1 read of the Vedas, the tlpanishads, ; the Brahmanas; of metaphysical ab- i ^tractions too tenuous to grasp; of j kurna or action, of mays or Illusion, i md I know not what “tangled Jumble , bf ghosts and demons, demi-gods, and ■ Jeifled saints, household gods, village ] gods, tribal gods, universal gods, with j their countless shrines and temples, tnd din of discordant rites.” At last, in despair, I gave it up, and turned to the book on crystallomancy. Here, at least, was something com prehcnsihle. If not altogether believ able. and 1 read with Interest of the antiquity of crystal gazing as a means bf inducing hallucination for the pur- 1 pose of seeking Information not to be ' gained by any normal means. I read bt Its use in China, in Assyria, in Egypt, In Arabia, in India, in Greece md Rome; of bow its practitioners in 1 the Middle Ages were looked upon as : heretics and burnt at the stake or 1 broken on the wheel; of the famous Dr. Dee, and so down to the present time, rhe scryers or seers sometimes used i mirrors, sometimes vessels filled with I water, but usually a polished stone, and beryl was especially esteemed. The effect of gazing at these intent ly I'or a time was to abstract the mind from uoianal r<’nsury impressions, and to induce a state of partial hypnosis, luring width the scryer claimed he rollld perceive in the crystal dream pictures of greut vividness, scenes at i distance, occurrences of the past, inrt of the future. 1 was still deep in this, when 1 heard a step outside, the door opened, ind Godfrey came in. He smiled when he saw what I was doing. "How have you been getting ulong?" he asked. "Not very well,” and 1 threw the hook back on the table. "The crystal ?azlng isn't so bad—one can under stand that; but the jumble of abstrac tions which the Hindus call religion is too much for me. 1 didn't know it was to lute" 1 added, and looked at my watch; but it was not yet 11 o’clock. "I'm earlier than usual,” said God frey. "I cut loose as soon as I could, because I thought we'd better talk things over. I saw Sitnmonds in town tonight." "Ah,” I said; "and what did he tell >'0U?" "Nothing I didn't know already. The police have discovered nothing new— hr, If they have, they're keeping it dark intU tomorrow. Simmonds did, how jver, regale me with his theory of the 3ase. He says the murder was done sither by one of the Hindus or by ,'oung Swain.” "What do you think?” I asked. "I'm inclined to agree with Slm nonds,” said Godfrey grimly. "With the emphasis on the Hindus,” be add 'd, seeing thelook on my face. "I hand in "Neither do 1,” I agreed, heartily. "In ’act such a theory 1b too absurd to iiscuss.” “Just the same,” said Godfrey, slow y, "I’m glad he didn’t touch Vaughan. If he had happened to selae him by the peck, while they were struggling to fether—in other words, if those finger prints Goldberger found had happened :o be Swain’s—tilings would have ooked bad for him. I'm hoping they'll turn out to belong to one of the Htn lus—but, as I said to Goldberger, I'm ifraid that’s too good to be true.” “Which one of the Hindus ?” I asked "Oh. the Thug, of course.” I sat bolt upright. "The Thug?” I echoed. "Didn’t you get that tar?" and God 'rey picked up one of the books and •an rapidly through the pages. "You 'emember we found him squatting an ;he floor with a rag and a tooth and i bone in front of him?" "Yes.” "And do you remember how the yogi lesertbed them, when Goldberger asked aim about them?" "Very distinctly—he called them the ittributes of Kail.” “Now listen to this: ‘The Thugs ire a religious fraternity, committing nurders In honor at Kali, the wife if Siva, who. they believe, assists them ind protects them. Legend asserts ;hat she presented her worshipers with three things, the hem of her lower gar ppent to use as a noose, a rib to use as i knife, and a tooth to use as a pick ix In burying the viotims.’ ” He glanoed it me, and then went on: “ 'But the snlfe was little used, foor the religious ;haracter of an assassination came to iepend more and more upon its blood ess character, and for this a nose was ised. The aversion to bloodshed be 3ame in time so great that many sects rf Thuggee consider It defiling to touch luiuan blood*" He closed the book ind threw It on the table. "Don't you :hink that proves the case?" "Yes,” I saKI, thoughtfully. "And the rogi—Is he also a Thug?” "Oh, no; a White Priest of Siva 3r less, aren’t they?” I questioned. "No,” was Godfrey's unexpected an swer; "the real yogln are no doubt ilneere; but a real yogi wouldn’t waste lis time on a soft brained old man, u»d fire skyrockets off at midnight to impress him. My own opinion Is that .his fellow Is a fakir—a juggler, a iteight of hand man—and, of course, i crook.” "Weil?” I asked, as Godfrey stopped ind fatted to continue. ‘Wejf that’s as far as I’ve got. Oh. les—there’s Tata. A cobra Is one of i faktr’s stook properties.” "But, Godfrey,” I protested, “he Is no gnorant roadside Juggler. He's a cul ivated man—an unusual man.” "Certainly he Is—most unusual. But :hat doesn’t disprove my guess; It only nakes the problem harder. Even a •oadslde Juggler doesn’t do his tricks ’or nothing—what reward Is it this ’ellow is working for? It must be a pig one, or It wouldn't tempt him.” "I suppose Vaughan paid him well,” I ventured. "Yes; but did you look at him, Les ;er? You’ve called him unusual, but hat word doesn't begin to express him. lie's extraordinary. Nb doubt Vaughan lid pay him well, but it would take lomethlng more than that to persuade such a man to spend six months In a place like that. And 1 think I can guess it the stake he’s playing for.” (Continued next week.) They Who Know. < 3y Eric Fisher Wood, In the December Century.
