CHAPTER VI.
Maurice returned home after a some-
what stormy interview with Mrs. Dal
las. For once the mother of Isabella
was roused out of her habitual indIf-
ference and she refused absolutely to
accept Aylmer , as her son-in-law.
"It is because tHat black woman dis-
trusts me that you object , " he said.
"I wonder that an educated person
should be dominated by that , uncivil-
ized creature. .
, "Dido has nothing to do with my
refusal ! " said the widow coldly ; "and
although I take her advice in'some'
things I do not in , this. I don't wish
Isabella to marry you and I request
you to leave my house. "
"As a gentleman I must accept your
dismissal but I decline to give up Isa-
" , ' '
bella.
"And I , " cried the girl "swear to re-
main true to Maurice ! "
"You'll ; . do nothing of the sort " said
her mother , violently. "I forbid you
even to think of that young mar. . You
shall marry whom I choose ! ' , ' " '
"Dr. Etwald- suppose ? " . '
"No ! Mr. : Sarby. " v -
"David ! " ejaculated/lIaurice. in an
astonished tone. , , 'You wish Isabella
to marry him ! " JX
"Yes ! He lov / > . 3 Isabella much more
than you do. " P. nd : he asked permission
-which Y.Q'G. . didn't-to pay his ad-
dresses to. her. I consented _ and so , "
Mrs. Dallas raised tier voice , ; "he shall
mar y ' her. "
' ! 1 refuse to marry Mr. Sarby , " said
Isabella'vehemently. "I hate him ! "
"That is no matter ! " replied her
toother , coldly. "You must marry
him ! "
"Must ! " _ repeated . Maurice with
great indignation.
"Yes Mr. Aylmer ! Must ! Must !
Must ! If you want an explanation of
that you can ask Major Jen ! "
"The Major ! My guardian ! " cried
Aj'lmer quite thunderstruck. "Is he
I
against me ! ? "
, "Ask him !
I want no further speech-
es from you. Go to your room Isa-
bella. "
Resigning himself to the inevitable ,
Maurice : gave one glance at Isabella ,
and went outside with a heavy heart.
Dido was standing upon the veranda ,
with her eyes glowing like two coals.
Yet there was an ill-concealed expres-
'
sion of triumph in her 'gaze which
' Maufice'/iri , : his'then ' , disturbed ' ind an-
Srered state of mind could ill brook.
(
He paused abruptly as he passed by
her , and asked a direct question :
"Why do you hate me Dido ? "
"Voodoo ! " said she in a harsh voice.
"Bah ! you black parrot ! " muttered
Maurice , scornfully and turned upon
his heel. As he vanislied down the
walk Dido clapped her hands together
with great satisfaction , and began to
sing in low tones. Her song was bar-
baric in words , and strange beyond all
telling in the music. It rose and fell ,
and moaned and drawled in a curious-
ly painful manner. In the drawing-
ro'om Mrs. Dallas had Tisen to her feet
at the first deep contralto note and
now stood rocking herself to and fro
with an expression , of alarm on her
face. Isabella was terrified in her
turn. She shrieked and ran out of the
room. Then Dido , still singing ap
peared at the window , and looked at
Mrs. Dallas with an expression of
triumph. . . .
"Why do you sing the , death song ? "
asked' Mrs. Dallas opening her eyes.
'Because de master hab doomed dat
yaller-h'ar ! " said Dido , and continued
her song.
In the meantime , Maurice walked
slowly homeward puzzling out his own
mind , as to what could be the meaning
of these strange things. He could not
understand why Mrs. Dallas objected
to him as a s6n-in-law ; nor could he
surmise the meaning of the mysterious
word "Voodoo , " pronounced so signifi-
antly by Dido. However he saw
plainly that the negress was the . dis-
turbing element in the Dallas house-
hold and by a half-hypnotic cbntrol
over the weak will of her mistress she
could act as she pleased.
Maurice simple and upright in con- !
duct and character was no match for .
the unscrupulous machinations of Di-
do. She hated the young man and
was determined that he should not
marry her nursling. ' But , whether she .
had like Mrs. Dallas a preference for !
David over Dr. Etwald , Maurice could
not determine. The more he. thought
over affairs the more incoherent and
complicated did they . become ' ; so Ayl
mer gave up the task in despair. Then
it occured to him that Mrs. Dallas had
referred him to Major Jen ; so to his
guardian Maurice went the moment he
arrived at the big house.
"Major gone out sir " explained
Jaggard to whom Maurice : applied for
information. 'He got a message from
Dr. Etwald and went to see him. Be
back to dinner sir I b'lieve. "
"Where is Mr. Sarby ? "
'Gone over to Branch Hall , sir. " ,
"Ho , ho ! " thought Maurice , as he .
turned away. "So David had gone to
see Meg. Now if he Is in lovk with
Isabellai , and Mrs. : Dallas favors his
suit I wonder why he acts in that
way. "
The question he could not answer ( , so
dismissing it from his memory he re-
tired to -smoking-room with a nov-
el. When Jen and Dayid returned he
intended , to "question both and , is' pos-
sible get to-the bottom of these sick-
ening mysteries.
"Hang it ! " soliloquized Maurice : over
his , book ; since yesterday everything
seems to have gone wrong. That ne
gress and Dr. Etwald are at the bot-
tom of . affairs. . But I can't see their .

reasons for 'mIxini : up things so. "
Then he laid aside his book to thInk.
and stared idly at the opposite wall.
It chanced to be that upon which the
barbaric "weapons before alluded to
were arranged , and conspicuous among
Jhem ! the golden handle of the devil-
stick. Recalling the mention of Voo-
doo , aqd Etwald's reference to African
witchcraft 'Maurice connected in his
own mind the devil-stick with those
barbarisms and on the impulse of the
moment he rose to examine the magic
wand. Handling carefully-for he
dreaded the poison although it was
said to be drie.fl up-he wondered if
Dido could 'make use of it were it in . .
her possession.
"I heard Mrs. Dallas say that Dido's
people came from Asharitee , " solilo-
quized Maurice ; "so I have no doubt
she can work the infernal thing. Per-
haps she knows enough to fill the bag
vitii fresh poison. If she did so , I
wouldn't trust myself near her. She
would be sure to experiment on me. "
At this moment Major Jen looking
slightly worried , entered the room and
seeing the devil-stick in the hand of
Maurice , he stopped short with an
ejaculation of surprise.
"You are looking at that thing Mau-
rice ? " said he , wonderingly. "Now
that is strange. I have just been talk-
ing about it with Dr. Etwald. "
;
"Oh ! " said Maurice his thoughts
flying back to thejnysterious influence
which he had seen Etwald exercise
over Dido. "And what was the doctor
saying ? "
"A great deal. He saw the devil-
stick the other night and to-day he
sent a note , asking if I would ride
over and see him this afternoon. ' 1
did so , then he "explained that he wish-
ed to buy that thing ! "
"The devil-stick ? Why ? "
"I can't say. He explained that he
had been in the Barbadoes ; iand I that
he took a great interest in the subject
of African fetish-worship. He had
heard of these 'wands of sleep , ' as they ,
are called and greatly wished to ob-
tain one but ' he was unable to do so.
Since seeing mine he has been seized
with a desire to possess it. :
"Why ? " said'lvfaurice. again. ,
, "As a curiosity I suppose. I've told
you all he " told me. But I refused to
sell it to him and he seemed greatly
vexed a display of irritation which in
its turn vexed me. I was quite an -
noyed when I left him. " ,
"Why don't you wish to sell it , Un-
cle Jen ? '
"Because it , is , a dangerous thing to
handle. Although the poison is dried ,
up yet there may be enough in it to ,
kill a man. If I parted with it and '
anyone was injured by it , I should I
never forgive myself. Pray put it up ,
Maurice ; I dislike to see you touch it.
To-night , after dinner I shall lock it
up in a safe place. David is right ; it
should not be on the wall there. "
"David has gone over to see Meg. "
"Yes. I don't think he will be back
until , after dinner , " said Jen rising.
"So you and I had better sit down as
soon as we are dressed. I am very
hungry. "
"Uncle Jen , I want to ask you some-
thing. Do you wish David to marry
Isabella Dallas ? "
"I really can't say. That is a matter
which lies in the hands of the girl her-
self. If she likes you better than Da
vid- "
vid"She
"She does ! "
"What ! Have you spoken to her ? "
"I have and to ' Mrs. Dallas who de-
clines to sanction our engagement. She
wants Isabella to marry David and
said- " I
f
"I can guess what she said " inter-
ruppted Jen hastily. "No more of this'
till after dinner my dear lad. Then
I'll explain all ! "
"Explain what ? "
"Why Mrs. Dallas wants Isabella to
marry David. " Not another word
would the Major : say on the sub :
ject at that moment so Maurice was
forced to seek his room in a very un
frame of mirtd.
satisfied However as
he thought here was one mystery
about to be explained , and that was a
comfort. As Jen prophesied , David
did not return to dinner and Maurice
had a tete-a-tete with his guardian.
But they talked of , indifferent things ,
and it was not until they were once
more in the smoking-room that the
Major consented to speak on the.sub
ject of Mrs. Dallas' strange conduct.
"Now : my boy I'm ready to tell
- " Here Jen stopped and looked
blankly at the wall.
"The stick ! " gasped Jen pointing a
shaking hand at the wall. "The death-
wand ! "
Maurice : looked-the devil-stick . was
gone !

CHAPTER VII.
For some moments the two men
looked at one another ; and then Ma
jor Jen seeing the necessity for
prompt action rang the bell. Jaggard
entered witji military swiftness , and
stared blankly at his master who was
pointing the wall.
"Where is the devil-stick ? " demand-
ed Jen wrathfully.
Jaggard advanced to the trophy of
weapons an.d examined them , with
some deliberation , after which : he
turned 'to face the irate Major.
. .
"It's gone , sure enough , sir , but I ,
. ,
don't know where. : " *
"Find out if any of the servants have

servants had been in the smoking-
room that evening. \
"Who lighted the lamp ? " demanded
Jen , sharply.
"We found the window open when
we came in , " said Maurice. "Did you
open it ? "
"Yes sir , The Major told me to al -
ways air the room during dinner. "
"Do you think , that someone has sto
len the stick Maurice ? " safd tho Ma
jor. " omoone from eutsido , I mean. "
"I am" sur of it , " replied Alymor
with decision. "Jaggard , did you no -

"Why no , Mr. Maurice I can't say

"The tramp than ; Battersea ! "
"No sir. Haven't set eyes on him

"Very J " tha

Major "you can go. Maurice ! " he
turned to the younr man when Jag-
gard had left the room "what do you
mean by all these questions and ex
aminations ? Do you suspect anyone ? "
. . . .
"Yes , " replied Maurice deliberate
ly. "I suspect Dido , the negress. "
"Why ? " asked Jen . with military
brevity. .
"It's a long story , " returned : Mau-
rice. f "Look here Uncle Jen I went tc

When we left the stick was in the
room on the wall. N " ' , . . we.are here
again at half-pa eight ; it Is gone.
In these twr bvmrs Dido has had time
to cross the lawn yonder and steal it. "
"But why do you suspect Dido ? She
was never in this room. "
"No but Dr. Etwald was. "
"Dft Etwald ! Do you think he haa
anything to'do with it ? " , queried Jen
perplexed , and a trifle startled. '
"I am certain of it , " replied Mau-
rice. "He employed Dido to steal it
from you as you refused to sell It
Listen , uncle and I'll give you my
reasons for this belief , " and then Mau-
rice told succinctly all that had taken
place at "The ? Wigwam" during the
afternoon.
Major Jen listened quietly and wait-
ed until Maurice ended his story be-
fore he spoke. The information aboift .
Mrs. Dallas and her reference to him- '
II'
self did not surprise him so much as
Aylmer expected it would do. In fact ,
he only made one brief remark upon
this point.
"I am sorry Mrs. : Dallas said that , "
he remarked when Maurice paused in I
his narrative. '
"But what does she mean by it ,
Uncle Jen ? Didn't you wish me to
marry Isabella ? "
"I am neither for nor against , " re-
-
? plied Jen enigmatically. "As I said
before , let the girl marry : whom she
loves best. " *
"She loves me best ! "
Major : Jen wriggled 'un asily in his
seat. He disliked telling what appear-
ed to him to be a silly story but as
such story bore strongly upon the
present position of things and as Mau
rice was impatiently waiting to be en-
lightened , ' Jen was forced to put his
scruples on one side and speak out.
"If what I relate appears impossible ,
don't blame me " he said abruptly
"and I feel certain that you will laugh
when I tell you about ; , Voodoo ! "
"That word again ! " cried Maurice
in a puzzled voice. "Dido used it when
we met Etwald ; she repeated it to me
before I left. Voodoo ! Voodoo ! What
does it mean Uncle Jon ? "
"African witchcraft ! Obi ! Fetish-
worship ! The adoration of the bad
spirit who catches mortals by the hair.
Any one of these things explains the
meaning of the term. "
"H'm ! " said Maurice. "It is a devil-
worship 'pure and simple. "
"Yes , and Mrs. Dallas knows more
about it than is good for her. My boy "
Jen laid his hand upon the arm of the
young man "when you reach my age
you will find that there is no limit to
the credulity and folly. of human be-
ings. When I was stationed in the
Barbadoes many years ago'I met Mrs.
Dallas. "
"Oh ! -so she is an old friend of
"
yours !
"Yes. I knew herv in the West In-
dies shortly before Isabella was born.
"it was through knowing me , " explain-
ed the Major "that she came to this
neighborhood : and rented ( The Wig-

SHIRT WAIST IS THREATENED.
.
I a
Garment That HOB Come to Star
Menaced by Manufacturer
Let no one take fright at the threat
of the New York shirt wa Ist barons to
put the shirt waist out , "fashion. The ,
barons have a strike on their hands
and wish to alarm the strikers. : The
latter are skilled in the makingof
shirt waists , hayIng devoted their lives
. to the art , and if shirt waists were
abolished their strike would become
purely academic and they would face
starvation. But they refuse to trem-
ble , because they know that the shirt
waist has , come to stay. Not all the
anathemas of all the fashion czars in
creation can move it an inch the Bal-
timore Sun says.
And no wonder. Was there ever a
garment more sightly and ingenious
than the shirt waist ? It gives a cer-
. tain dashing grace to the most obtuse
figure. Its collision with the dark
skirt beneath it gives the effect of an
, orthodox waist , even when there is
no waist there. It submits easily to
the customary processes of renovation.
It is cheap. It "goes well " as the
makers of robes et manteaux say w , th
any sort of skirt. It is cool. It , has
both dignity and a touch of coquetry. '
\Vhether \ peek-a-boo or airtight it sat-
isfies the. eye and soothes the mind. A
woman in a freshly laundered shirt
waist knows very well that she is do
ing deadly execution and the thought
elevates her. "
. For lovemaldng the shirt waist has
abundant advantages. Oldsters well re
member how difficult it was in the
days before the waist to encircle a
pretty girl with easy nonchalance. The
upper garments worn by the ' dear crea
tures at that time were full of pins
and easily soiled. The young man ,
bleeding from a hundred wounds ,
would mutter harsh words and tho
girl thinking of the dry-cleaner's bill ,
would faint. The shirt waist put an
end to all those horrors. To-day one
just grabs the girl and gives her a
hearty hug. It is not necessary to
put on chamois skin gloves for finger
prints on\.shirt waists yield readily
to household ammonia ; and it is not
necessary to have a surgeon waiting
outside , for shirt waists are held to-
gether by ropes rivets and belting
and have no pins. And so one may
now caress one's love in conafort. '
The shirt waist doomed and by the
simple ukase of a lot of New York
business men ? Pooh pooh ! Let them
first prove their power by attempting
a holy war upon chewing gum the
false frizz , or detachable cuffs.
MONARCH IN "THE CITY. "
London's Lord Mayor Is Only. Ne.xt :
to Ivingr Edward Himself. '
Within the limits of the city the
lord mayor is a little sovereign. His
only troops are 1,000 policemen , but
no royal , troops , may enter the city
without his permission. He receives
the password , of the Tower every three
months , under the sign-manual the
king. But other things are more pre-
cious to him than this for he is the
recognized fountain-head of hospitality
in the united kingdom. The city of
London is the only city in the world
which royalty officially recognizes.
The mayor of London recently receiv-
ed the Emperor of Germanthe Pres-
ident of France and many lesser poten-
tates. /The / city of Berlin attempted
to assume a similar distinction during
the recent visit of King Edward to
Germany.
Within the city' the lord mayor takes
precedence of all persons save the
king , Frederic C. Howes says in Scrib- -
ner's. Even the Prince of Wales falls
behind him on official occasions.
Prior to the creation of the Thames
conservancy board in 1857 for the
care and preservation of the shipping :
of London , the lord mayor rode to par-
liament immediately after his election
in a splendid medi val barge with
tapestried ' canopies and' banks of row-
ers , like an oriental prince. Since the
control of the Thames has been taken
away from the city the barge has nev-
er been used.
"The lord mayor's show" is the
greatest show o : London. Following
his election by the members of the
guilds , the lord mayor and the alder-
men proceed with great ceremony from
the Mansion ; house along Fleet street
and the Strand , to the counts of jus-
tice , where the lord mayor takes the

. Keep the Home Bright.
Fill your home with sunshine. Don't
keep all your brightness for strangers
abroad and sterness and dullness for
home consumption. No child can grow
up in rich development In an unhappy '
and gloomy home. Don't drive your
children to * seek their amusement
away from home. . .

"After you've been two weeks In the , /

men that ask their wives to be sure to /
wipe between the tines of the forks
, and that know just how much raising
bread ought to have and how to hang
out a wash so each piece will get the

the ordinary kind of man. Yes , 'tis "
so ! " Mrs. Gregg finished with much

SHE QUIT.
But It Wan a Hard Pnll.
It is hard to believe that coffee will ' /
put a person in such a conditio.n as it .
did an Ohio woman. She tells her
own story :
"I did not believe coffee caused my. . }
trouble , and frequently said I liked it '
BO well I would not , and could not ( "
quit drinking it , but I was a miserable '
sufferer from heart trouble and nerv-
ous prostration for four years. .
"I was scarcely able to be around ,
had no eaergy and did , not care for . . ) -
anything. Was emaciated and had a . , }
constant pain around my heart until _ '
I thought I cauld not endure it. For
months I never went to bed expect- .
ing to get up in the morning. I felt
as thcugh . I was liable' to die at any
time.
"Frequently I had nervous chills and ' }
the least excitement would drive sleep .
.away , and any' little noise would upset
me terribly was gradually getting
worse until finally one time it came
over me ' and I asked myself what's
the use of being sick all the time and
buying medicine so that - I could in-
dulge myself in coffee ?
- "So I thought I would see if I could
quit drinking coffee and got some ' .
Postum to help me quit. I made it - . '
strictly according to directions and I
want to tell you , that change was the
greatest step In my life. It was easy .
to quit coffee because I had the Post
um which I , now like better than the
old coffee.

pain all gone. Never have any more . , - . . °
