"Both of you are weak , and have yielded up your wills to that woman. But the an nouncement of our engagement will give me some influence in the house , and do away with all that. It will be a fight between white and black magic , and I , as a civilized wizard , intend to win. " "Why do you particularly wish to announce our engagement to-day ? " "My dear child , " he said , slowly , "I kept our engagement secret on account of David. I have seen for a long time that he loves you , and , knowing his fiery temper , I did not wish to provoke a quarrel by telling him that you had promised to be my wife. But last night the truth was forced from me at din- ner , and David declared that he in- tended to ask you to marry him. " "But I don't love him. I love you ! " "I knew that , but he didn't. He knows now that we love one another , but he is ignorant that we are en- gaged. When the fact is publicly an- nounced , he may give up his idea of marrying you , and so a quarrel may be averted. " "Are you afraid of quarreling with " I him ? "Yes ! Not on my own account , but It distresses our good Major to see us at variance. We nearly quarreled over you last night , though , upon my word , " added the young man , half to himself , ' "I believe Etwald promoted the row. " "Etwald ! " repeated Isabella. "Dr. Etwald ? " . "Yes , he is in love with you. " "I know he is , " replied the girl , quietly. "But of course , I could never be his wife ; the more so , as I fear ! him. But Dido wishes me to marry him. " "Oh , hang Dido ! ' " , " cried Maurice , vig orously. "I wish she would mind her own business. " At this moment , as if summoned by his remark , Dido appeared round the bend of the path. She looked straight before her , turning neither to right nor left , and passed the pair like one in a sleeping fit. The negress seemed to be under the influence of some strange excitement , and ran stumbling down to the gate. "Voodoo ! Voodoo ! " she cried , hoarse- ly. "Oh , " said Isabella , nervously. "Dr. Etwald must be at hand. When Dido says 'Voodoo' he comes. " CHAPTER V. "When Dido says 'Voodoo' he comes , " repeated Maurice , greatly puzzled. "Are you talking of Dr. Etwald ? " "Yes ! He seems to possess some strange power over Dido , for she al - I ways knows when he is approaching. I See , Maurice , Dido is waiting at the gate ; in a few moments you will see Dr. Etwald enter it ! " The two young people looked stead- fastly at the brilliantly-colored figure of the negress , standing in a stat- uesque attitude near the great iron gate. All was bright and cheerful , but in that sinister red figure , with its black face and hands , there was a sug gestion of evil which seemed to domi nate and poison the whole beautiful scene. Maurice felt Isabella shudder with nervous dread as she pressed closely to his side. "Dearest , you must not be afraid ! " said he , glancing down anxiously at her face. "You must throw off the ter ror you : have of this woman. If the law- " lawAt this moment he broke off his speech with an ejaculation of surprise , for true to the prognostication of Isa- bella-in answer to the expectant at- titude of the . negress-Dr. Etwald turned in at- the gate. They continued to watch the pair , and saw Dido throw herself at the feet of Etwald , " who raised his hand over her in a threatening manner. He pointed into the wood with an imperi- ous gesture , and in a slinking attitude the usually stately Dido passed out of sight into the little path down which Isabella had come to meet Maurice. 1 When the gleam of her red dress dis appeared Etwald wiped his face , and I walked briskly up the avenue towards the young couple. "Shall we go on , or wait for him here ? " asked Isabella , in a whisper. "Wait ! " replied Maurice , in the same ' tone. "I shall not let him think that ' either of us is afraid of his charlatan trficks. " bewilder"I Dr. Etwald approached with what was meant for a smile on his usually somber face , and took off his hat to " Miss Dallas. But ti he did not speak as tiv he made his salutation v salutationso , -so the girl was forced , by reason of this uncomfortable silence , to make the first observation. "Good morning , doctor , " she said , as he replaced his hat. " "I suppose you have come to see my mother. " "Partly , Miss Dallas ; and partly to see you ; also this gentleman. " "To see me ! " said Maurice , looking at his rival. "Then why did you not ' ' " go to 'Ashantee' ? 1 "I never give myself unnecessary trouble , and , of course , I knew that I should find you here. " "By what right do you say that ? " demanded Maurice , sharply. to "By the right of ' our conversation last night , Mr. Aylmer. You have Sl forestalled me , I see. No matter , " addl ( ed Etwald , with a sneer. "To-day to b you ; to-morrow to me. " I All this was quite unintelligible to d Isabella , who looked from one to the other of her companions , in bewilder- b " ; " : f" . . . . . . . . . . . . . " . , . , , _ ! , . " ' / " : . . . ment , not guessing , for the moment , that she was the bone of contention between them. She saw the suppress- ed mockery on Etwald's face , and noted also that Maurice , roused by the quiet insistence of the doctor , had much difficulty in keeping his temper. She proposed that they should go up to the house. "What was the matter with my nurse , doctor ? " she asked. "What have you been doing to her ? " "She was agitated , my dear young lady and I have calmed th . .t agita- tion. " "After haying previously caused .it , " said Maurice , in a significant tone. "What possible reason have you to make such an accusation ? " "I think it is my fault , " said Isa- bella , hastily. "I remarked that Dido was always agitated when you came to this house. " "I can explain that in a measure , Miss Dallas. If you remember , I cured Dido of a bad nervous head- ache by hypnotic suggestion. Her mind , therefore , became habituated in responding to mind ; and doubtless she feels a kind of impression which tells her that I am near. " "In other words , " said Maurice : , pointedly , "you have obtained an in- influence over her. " "It is not improbable , " rejoined Et wald , in measured tones. "I'am one of those people , Mr. Aylmer , who can , by strength of will and power of arac- ter , obtain power over anyone ' I wish. " As he spoke , Etwald cast a sudden glance at Isabella. The girl was look- ing towards the house , out of which her mother had just emerged , and did not see the menace in his regard ; but Maurice noted the gaze , and felt en- raged at all it implied. In plain words , Etwald intimated , in a veiled manner , that Isabella was a nervous subject , over whom he could , obtain influence , if he so chose , by means . of hypnotism. "You have been in the West Indies , doctor , " asked : Maurice , bluntly. . "I have been all over the world , Mr. Aylmer , " parried Etwald , dextetously. "Do you know anything of Voodoo- worship ? " ' "I know something of most things , " assented the doctor. "But I confess I take but little interest in African bar- barities. " . "Oh ! what about Dido and her meet- ing you ? " "I have explained that to the best of my ability , " responded Etwald , cold- ly , "and now , Mr. : Etwald , as our hos- tess is approaching , you must excuse my replying to any further questions. If you want further insight into my character , call upon me at my home. " "That I shall certainly do , " said Maurice : , for he was resolved to learn all he could about this strange man , so that he could protect Isabella from his arts. "Ah ! " said the doctor , with irony , "we shall see if you will venture so far. " Before Maurice could take up the implied challenge , which threw doubts upon his moral courage , Mrs. Dallas advanced heavily to meet her visitors. Isabella had already flitted like a white butterfly into the drawing-room ; and her mother received the two young men alone. Her reception was , as us- ual , ponderous and vagus. "So pleased to see you , Mr. Aylmer. Dr. Etwald , I am charmed. It is a de- lightful day , is it not ? Reminds one of Barbadoes. " "I have never been in Barbadoes , " said Maurice , towards whom her lan- sS guid gaze was directed. "But Dt. Et wald may be able to answer your question , Mrs. Dallas ! " "I know the West Indian islands , " observed Etwald , as they walked into the house , "and this day does remind me a little of the climate there ; but it is scarcely hot enough. " "No , " murmured Mrs. Dallas , sinking into a large chair. "You are right. I have been in the sun all the morning , and only now am I beginning to feel warm. I shall certainly go back to Barbadoes. " Mrs. Dallas had made this threat so many times that nobody paid any at- tention to it , and , not expecting an an- swer , she began to fan herself slowly. Through her half-closed eyes she looked anxiously at the subtle face of Etwald. With an instinct of a woman , Qe guessed : ' that something important had ! brought the doctor to see her ; he was not a man to waste his time on visits of ceremony. , Now Mrs. Dallas was secretly afraid J of Etwald , as she had received hints 1 . from : Dido that the doctor knew more j about secret things than most people. 1 She : ; dreaded lest his visit should por- ( tend harm , and so , in some trepidation , ' waited ; for him to speak. But Etwald , guessing her frame of mind , took his time , and it was only when Isabella approached with some tea for her mother that he broke the silence. "Don't go away Miss : Dallas ! " he said , entreatingly. "I have something to say to your mother which concerns you. " Isabella turned pale , for she guess- ed what was coming. Etwald had. Vi raised his voice. Mrs. Dallas , with Vin n some curiosity , raised herself to look closer at Etwald , and he , seeing that fl his auditory was attentive , prepared ( ) launch his thunderbolt. j : "My dear Mrs. Dallas , " said he , in a c soft voice , "you must have been for a fi long time that my visits here have not a been made without an object. To-day come to ask you and your sweet daughter a question. " a "Pray don't ask it , " said Isabella , of : better Informed byBtwald'a glance as 01 . , , . . . . . . " . . , . ' - I , ' . . . .

"Mrs. ' Dallas , I love your daughter , and I wish to marry her ; Miss Isabella , will you be my wife ? " Here Maurice set down his cup with a crash , and strode across : the room where he faced Etwald in no very pleasant frame of mind. "I shall answer that question , Dr. Etwald ! " he said , loudly. "Miss Dal- las shall not and cannot carry you. She has promised to become my wife ? " "Isabella ! " said Mrs. Dallas , in an aggrieved tone. "Is this true ? " "Perfectly true , " assented Isabella. "I love Maurice. : I wish to marry him " And slipping her arm within that of her lover , she prepared face the storm. "You are a disobedient girl , " cried Mrs. Dallas , making no attempt to control her temper. "You shall not marry without my permission. Mr. Aylmer , I am astonished at you ; I am disappointed in you. It is not the act of a gentleman to steal away the af- fections of my daughter , without in- forming me of your intentions. " "I had my reasons for not doing 'so , Mrs. : Dallas , " replied Maurice , quickly. "But I was about to tell you of our engagement when Dr. Etwald fore- stalled me by making his unexpected offer. " "Unexpected , Mr. Aylmer ! " smiled Etwald. "After my statement last night ? " "Unexpected so far as time and place are concerned , " said Maurice , firmly. "But as you have asked Miss Dallas to marry you , take your refusal from her own lips. " "I love Maurice. I intend to marry him , " repeated Isabella. "In that case , ' said Etwald , rising , "I must take my leave , and shall be content with that answer until such time as you are free ; then , " he added , coolly , "I shall ask you again. " "I shall never be free ! " said Isabel la , proudly. "Oh , yes , you will ; when Mr. Ayl- mer is dead ! " "Dead ! " shrieked Mrs. Dallas , all her superstition roused by the word. "Come away from that man , Isabel- la ! " ' "Maurice ! dead ! " repeated the girl , with a pale cheek. , The young man shrugged his shoul- ders. "Pooh ! pooh ! some nonsense that Dr. Etwald was talking about last night , " he added , contemptuously. "He says if I marry , it will be a case ol life in death , whatever that means. " Etwald rose to his feet , and stretch- ed out a menacing hand. "I have warned you , Aylmer , " he said , sternly. "Your marriage , after or before it , means life in death. Take : care ! Ladies , " he added , with a bow , "I take my departure. " Outside , Etwald t found Dido waiting for him. He looked at her significant- ly. ly."I "I have failed , " he said. "There is nothing left but the devil-stick. " ( To be continued. ) SWINGING THE ARMS. The Habit a Kelic of the Time Whea Man Went on All Fours. Sir Victor Horsley , lecturing before the Medical : Society of London , exb plained our habit of swinging the arms when walking , which he stated was quite unnecessary as a relic of the days when unnecessary , as a relic of the days when we walked on all fours. Then we had to use arms as well as , legs. Although their use serves no purpose when walking upright , we still keep on moving all four limbs alter- nately or in progression. Sir Victor sets forth some new facts concerning the functions of the cerebellum , the mysterious and little understood hind part of the brain. "Primarily the cerebellum .must be regarded , " said the lecturer , "as a sen- sory organ which has an important part in the correct performance of many of our automatic actions. Walk ing , standing and running are good ex- amples of such actions , which cannot be accurately carried out without a normal , well balanced cerebellum. Newu born animals cannot stand. They sprawl and before they can stand , walk or run they must acquire this ; power. For conveniences in life this ] ability to stand must be secured with . out the animal having consciously to think what he is doing. The fully de , veloped cerebellum supplies this power unconsciously. " ' 1 In proof of this Sir Victor pointed , out that the cerebellum of a full-grown j cat showed fully developed cells and fibers , , whereas in new-born kittens the t brain in the cerebellar portion is. not t yet organized into active nerve tis g sues. - New York Times. 1 i Turks and Animals. . 1 In the matter of kindness to an ! ) mals it is said that the Turk cannot be surpassed. Thus at Stamboul the wandering dogs are treated wth great c gentleness , and when puppies come s into the world they are lodged with s their mother at the side of the street . : ] in improvised kennels made out of old boxes lined with straw and bits of carpet. And frequently when a young Turk happens to be flush of money he 1J : goes to the nearest baker's shop and t buys a quantity of bread , which he distributes among the dogs of the quar- t ter : , who testify their gratitude by t jumping up at him with muddy paws to . and sniffling muzzles. Fooled His Doctor. The late Rev. H. R. Haweis , wht to . was equally notable as preacher , jour. P nalist , lecturer and , musician , suffered y' ' from a dangerous hip disease when a YI boy of nine. The celebrated Sir Ben- amin Brodie who asked if jamin , was a ' 'k , change of scene would benefit the af " ] flicted youth , answered , "Take him dz nywhere-it does not matter.

William Henry Dallliiffer Fitted to Rank "With Grent Scientist Many men receive ! extended obituarj notice who deserve it far less than did a modest and unpretentious Meth odist minister who died la England a few days ago. The name of William Henry Dallinger has not been greatly trumpeted about , but it was borne by a man who is entitled to be ranked among ' those scientists of the past gen- eration who contributed materially and much 3 toward the ascertainment of truth , and especially of that truth which is of greatest fascination and Impor.tancQ-the origin and nature of life , the New York Tribune says. Dallinger became especially interest- ed In this subject about forty years Bgo , when the old controversy over s'pontaneousgeneration was revived , with Bastian and Tyndall as opposing protagonists. While he stood In the background his researches and observations were of inestimable advantage to Tyndall , and , indeed , to all scientists , both in i the direct result of his laboratory work and also in the great impetus which he gave to the improvement of xnicsftscopic lenses. His painstaking Investigations , which extended through maity years , confirmed in the most con- vincing manner the conclusions of Pas teur and Tyndall that spontaneous I generation was a myth and that all life must come from pre-existing life. It was Pasteur's demonstration of that fact which inspired and enabled Lister to establish antiseptic surgery. From the reaffirmation of it by Tyn- dall and equally by Dallinger , has pro- ceeded our whole system of antibac terial sanitation and therapeutics. And every triumph of mosquito netting over lyellow ' fever and malaria , of the water boiler and filter over cholera and , typhoid , and of the rat trap over bubonic plague proclaims the vast benefits ' to the human race which have accrued from the painstaking labors of these searchers after truth. II NOT TO BE MENDED. _ I Charles Dickens once wrote to a friend . , "I have distinguished myself in two respects lately. I took- a young lady , unknown , down to dinner , and talked to her about the Bishop of Dur- ham's nepotism in the matter of Mr. Cheese. I found she was Mrs. Cheese. And expatiated to the member for Marylebone , thinking him to be an Irish member , on the contemptible character of the Marylebone constitu tion , and the Marylebone representa tive. " Two such .mishaps in one evening were enough to reduce the most bril liant talker to the condition of the three inside passengers of a London- bound coach , who beguilea the tedium . of the journey from Southampton by discussing the demerits of William Cob- bett , until one of the party went so far as to assert that the object of their denunciation was a domestic tyrant , given to beating his wife. Much : to his dismay , the solitary woman passenger , who had hitherto sat a silent listener remarked : "Pardon me , sir , a kinder husband and father never breathed ; and I ought to know , for I am William jobbett's wife. " Mr. : Giles of Virginia and Judge Duval of Maryland members of Con gress during Washington's administra- - tion , boarded at the house of a Mrs. Gibbon , whose daughters were well on in years , and remarkable for talkative ness. ness.When When Jefferson became President , Duval was Comptroller of the Treas- ury , and Giles a Senator. Meeting ona day In Washington , they fell to chat ting over old times , and the Senator asked : the Comptroller if he knew what had become of "that cackling old maid , Jenny Gibbon. " "She is Mrs. Duval , sir , " was the un IE expected reply. a. Giles did not attempt to mend mata ters : , as a certain Mr. Tuberville un 0' wisely did. Happening to observe to a V fellow guest that the lady who had e : sat at his right hand at dinner was tE the : ugliest woman he had ever beheld , b' the : person addressed expressed his re ? gret that he should think his wife so lI-k > oking.

"About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It irritated me so that I began to scratch it and It began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid seal ' like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep , or my wife either , and It was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight ) and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no cnatter where the irritation came , at work , on the street or in the presence of company , I would have to scratch it until I had the blood running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffer- ing during those seven years. The pain mortification , loss of sleep , both to myself and wife is simply indescrib- - able on paper and one has to expe rience it to know what it is. \ "I tried all kinds of doctors and renv edies but I might as well have thrown my money down a sewer.
