CHAPTER IV.-Continued. )
"My mother is weak where Dido is
concerned , " said Isabella , .shaking ; : ; her
head.
"And so are you , my dear , " respond-
ed Maurice , kissing her. "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

other of her companions , in bewilder- b

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 :

-
to his purpose. "It will only give you
pain. "
"I must risk that , " said the doctor ,
slowly. "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. "

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

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.

AN OBSUuti ± L " 2F'ACTOR. : .
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. "

Knee to Ankle a Mass of Humor.
"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. They would\
dry up for a little while and fill ma '
with hope only to break out again just
as bad if not worse. I had given up 'T C
hope of ever being cured when I was
induced by my wife to give the Cuti
cura Remedies a trial. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for a littlo
while I began to see a change , and
after taking a dozen bottles of Cuti
cura Resolvent , in conjunction with
citl
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint
ment the trouble had entirely disap- -
peared ' and my leg was as fine as the
day ' I was born. Now after a lapse of
six months with no signs of a recur
rence Ifeel perfectly safe in extend
ing ( to you my heartfelt thanks for ilia ,
good the Cuticura Remedies have dons , , , . ; /
for me. I shall always recommend , .
them to my friends. W. H. Whlte . -

That was all
So the neighbors sadly said ,
As they gathered round his bed ,
When they heard that he was dead.
He caught a little cold-
That was all. ( Puck. )
Neglect of a cough or cold often
leads to serious trouble. To break up- '
cold in twenty-four hours and cure-
any cough that is curable mix two
ounces of Glycerine , a half-ounce of'
Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure and !
eight ounces of pure Whisky. Take a.
teaspoonful every four hours. You cart :
buy these at any good drug store and
easily mix them in a large bottle.
