CHAPTER 'VIII. - ( Continued. )
"Perhaps I may settle affairs sooner
than you thing , " said Aylmer. "Uncle
Jen , I won't be back , to dinner to-night ,
as I have to go into Deanminster. "
"What about ? "
"Business connected with the devil-
stick and Isabella.
"H'm ! You are pleased to be mys-
terious. Why not tell me your busi
ness ? "
"Because I may fail , " said Maurice.
"Here , Uncle Jen , don't be cross ; I'll
tell you about it to-morrow , and then
you will see and approve of my silence
to-night.
"Well , " said Jen , with a shrug , "you
are old enough to guide your own ac
tions. But I must say that I don't like
to be shut out of the confidence of my
two boys In this way. "
"You'll know everything to-mor-
row. "
"About David also ? "
"Perhaps I can even promise you
that ! " said Maurice , with a smile.
" " "do know
"What ! cried Jen , you
why David has gone td town ? "
"Not for certain ; but I can guess.
Now , Uncle Jen , I shan't answer an-
other question just now , as I must go
into Deanminster. "
It was useless to ask further ques-
tions , as Jen saw that the young man
was getting irritated ; so , in no very
pleasant temper himself , the Major
went up to his dressing-room. He
was of a peace-loving and easygoing
nature , fond of quietness , so it annoy-
ed him not a little that all this dis
turbance should take place on account
of a woman. '
David and Maurice both being ab
sent , Major Jen was compelled to
dine alone. This he disliked doing , so
hurrying over his dinner with all
speed , Tie betook himself to the smok-
ing room with a book. Here he chose
a comfortable chair near the open win-
dow , and attempted to read ; but the
somnolent influence of the evening
was upon him , and before long the
good Major : was sound asleep.
Outside a warm wind was blowing ,
and the air was filled with the per-
fume of flowers. In the darkly blue
sky hardly a cloud could be seen , and
the moon , just showing her orb above
the tree tops , flooded the still loveli-
ness of the night with wave after wave
of cold light. All was full of charm ,
, spellbound as it ' were by the magic of
moonlight , when suddenly a long , wild
cry struck shudderingly through the
silence.
Accustomed as an old campaigner to
sleep lightly , Major : Jen was on his
feet in an instant , and again heard
that terrible shriek. It seemed to come
from the direction of the high-road ,
and thinking that some evil was being
done , Jen , without loss of time , raced
across the lawn and into the avenue.
In a Tew minutes he arrived at the
gate , and stepped out into tlie white
and dusty road ; a black mass was ly-
ing some distance down , and towards
this ran Jen with an undefinable sense
of evil clutching at his heartstrings.
The black mass proved to be the body
of a man , cold and still. Jen .turned
the corpse over and recoiled. The
dead man was Maurice Aylmer.
CHAPTER IX.
While the Major , hardly able to
credit his own eyes , was staring at the
dead body of his dear lad , Jaggard , at-
tracted also by the strange cry , came
running up.
"What is it , sir ? " he asked , saluting
Jen even in that moment of anxiety.
"I heard an awful cry , sir , and came
after you. "
Jen pointed to the corpse , but said
nothing. Jaggard , ignorant of the
the truth , bent down to place a hand
on the dead man's heart. . Then he
saw and recognized the face. .
"Mr. : Maurice ! What does it mean ? "
he cried , aghast witli sudden horror.
"It means murder , Jaggard ! " re-
plied Jen , in a hollow voice which he
hardly recognized as his own. "Mr. I

ed again to the remains. I
"Murder ! " echoed Jaggard , his rud- I

' 1 don't know-I can't say ! " inter-
rupted his master , impatiently. "Go
and get the men to bring down a
stretcher for the body , and send the
groom for Dr. Etwald. "
"Ain't it too late , sir ? "
"Do as I tell you , " said Jen so fierce-
ly that Jaggard did not dare to diso-
bey , but ran off , leaving the # Major
alone with. his dead.
The road which ran past "Ashan-
tee" towards The Wigwam was lonely
even in the daytime , and at this hour
of the night it was quite deserted. Not
'
a person was' in sight , although the
Major could see up and down the road
for a considerable distance , owing to
the bright moonlight. He raised Mau-
rice in his arms , ' and placed the body
on the. soft grass by the wayside.
, In the bright moonlight he carefully
examined the body , but could find no
trace of any wound until he came to
the right hand. Here ih the palm , he
saw a ragged rent clotted with blood ,
but it was a mere scratch not likely' '
to have caused death , unless poison
wereHere Major : Jen rose to his
feet with a new and terrible idea in
his brain.
"The devil-stick ! " he said , aloud.
Again he bent down and examined
the face and hands. Both were swol-
len and discolored ; he tore open the
hirt at the neck } , and saw that the
young man's breast was all distended
and bloat"- ! Undou ' : ; : r the cara ; ; "f

death was blood-poisoning , and the
devil-stick had been the instrument
used to effect the deed. But here the
problem proposed itself : Who had
killed Maurice ? The person who had
stolen the devil-stick ! " * Who had sto
len the devil-stick ? The person who
-Major Jen came to an abrupt pause.
He could think , for a moment , of no
answer to that question ; but it is only
fair to say that , dazed by the terrible
.
occurrence of his dear lad's death , Jen
had not his wits about him.
While he was still considering the
affair in a confused manner Jaggard
reappeared with the men from
"Ashantee" carrying a stretcher. While
they placed the body of Maurice there-
on , the groom bound for Deanminster
passed them driving the dog-cart , and
Major Jen stopped the man to tell him
that at all risks he was to bring back
Dr. Etwaldv with him. ; Jaggard won-
dered at this , for Maurice-poor lad-
was beyond all earthly aid-but Jen
was thinking of a certain person who
might have committed the crime , and
he wished for the aid of Dr. Etwald to
capture that person. In the mean-
time the necessities of the case called
for the immediate removal of the body
to "Ashantee. " It was a melancholy
procession which bore the body up to
the house , ' and behind came Major
Jen bowed to the ground with sorrow.
In due time Etwald arrived , for the
groom had been fortunate enough to
find him at home. On hearing of the
affair he expressed the deepest con-
cern , and , putting all other business on
one side , he came back to "Ashantee"
'in ' the dog-cart. Before seeing Jen , he
went up to Aylmer's room and exam-
ined the body of the unfortunate young
man. Having satisfied himself so far
as he was able he came down to the
library , where Jen awaited him.
"Well , Etwald , " cried the Major ,
when he saw the tall form of the doc-
tor at the door , "have you seen him ? "
"I have seen it , " corrected Etwald ,
with professional calmness , "the poor
fellow is dead Major-dead from
blood-poisoning. "
"I knew jt ; . I guessed it-the devil-
stick. "
"That may be , " rejoined Etwald , tak-
ing a seat , "but I cannot be sure. You
see neither you nor I know anything
of the poison which was in the han-
dle of that African instrument. It
,1
-
"But what are you talking of ? " broke
in Jen , impetuously. "You say that
my boy died from
poor blood-poison-
ing. How else could he have come by
that , save through being touched or
struck with the devil-stick ? No one
in the neighborhood was likely to pos-
sess any weapon likely to corrupt the
blood. If Maurice had been stabbed ,
or shot I could understand the crime ;
but as it is , the person who stole the
,
devil-stick must have killed him. "
"And who stole the devil-stick ? "
asked Etwald , coolly. "If I forget not.
Major , you asked me the other day if
I did. I was no friend of the dead
man ; I did not like him , nor he me.
We both loved the same woman-we
were rivals. What then so easy as for
you to say-for a jury to believe-that
I had stolen the devil-stick and killed
i \ fr. Aylmer , so as to get him out of
the way. "
"I never thought of such a thing , "
protested Jen. "I do not suspect you. "
"Then whom do you suspect ? " ask-
ed Etwald fixing his dark eyes on the
Major.
"Dido-the negress of Mrs. Dal-
las . ! "
"That is ridiculous. The commis-
sion of a crime presupposes a motive.
Now what motive had Dido to kill
your friend ? '
"She hated Maurice , and she did not
want him to marry Miss Dallas. "
"Neither did I , if I remember right-
ly , " said Etwald , dryly. By the way ,
I suppose you will have a detective to
sift the affair to the bottom ? Mr. Sar-
by is in the city. Why not wire him ? "
"If I thought thatBut , " added
Jen , breaking off , "how do you know
where David is ? "
"Oh ! " rejoined Etwald , quietly , "Mr. ,
Aylmer told me so tonight. "
"No-night ! " echoed Jen , starting up.
"You saw Maurice to-night ! "
"Certainly. About at hour and a half
before he was murdered. At my house , "
replied the doctor , with great deliber-
ation.
"So it was you whom he went to see
on business to-night ? '
"I don't know if you call it busi-
ness. I asked Mr. Aylmer to call and
see me , and sent the message by that
tramp named Battersea. "
"I remember his coming. 'Go on ,
please. " ,
"Mr. Aylmer called , as I said , " con-
tinued Etwald. "And then I told him
that Miss Dallas was ill from being
prevented by her mother from seeing
him. That I was sorry .for the poor
young lady , and that I gave up my po-
sition as a rival. In fact , " added the
doctor , "I advised Mr. Aylmer to see
Miss Dallas and marry her as soon : as
he could. " ,
"But why did you wish to act in this
generous manner ? "
"For the very simple reason that
Miss Dallas is of a delicate and ner-
vous constitution , " said Etwald. "If
she does not marry Mr. Aylmer , with
whom she is in love , she may die. I
quite forget that I should speak in the
past tense now , Major. : Mr. Aylmer is
dead , and Miss Dallas may pine away
of grief. It was to prevent such a ca -
tastrophe from occurring , that I sur-
rendered my claim to her hand. "
"Very : generous of you indeed , " said
Jen , ironically ; "but I-do not see . why

you should behave In such a noble
manner when you wers so much in
love with the girl. "
"It is for that reason that I changed
my mind. As you know , I have been
attending upon Mrs. Dallas this week
and I saw plainly enough that my
case was hopeless ; that the girl was
dying to marry Aylmer. Besides , " add-
ed Etwald , carelessly , "the mother wa
not on my side. "
' "She wants Isabella to marry Da
vid. "
"So I hear ; and he is in town , as
Mr. Aylmer told me to-night. But
what are you going to do about the
matter Major ? "
"Give notice to the police. " -
"There will be , a post-mortem , ol
course , " said Etwald , carelessly.
. "No , no ! I hope not , " cried Jen.
horrified at the idea.
"But there must" be , " insisted Et-
I .
wald , cruelly. "Aylmer died of poison ,
and it must be proved that such was
the case. Then we may learn if he
perished from the poison of the devil-
stick. Afterwards you must get a de
tective to search for the person who
stole it from your smoking-room. Once
he or she is found , and the assassin oi
your poor frierid Tvill be in custody. "
' 'He or she , ' " repeated Jen , slowly.
"Dido I mentioned ; but 'he ! ' : who is
' ' " .
'he' ?
"Ah , that is what we wish to find
out , " said the doctor , gravely. "But
how do I know ? . . Battersea may be the
thief. "
"The thief and the murderer ! "
"Well , no , Major. On second thoughts
I do not think it is wise to couple
those two words as yet. The thief may
not be the murderer-but what can I
say ! " broke off Etwald , suddenly. . "As
yet we know nothing. It is late now ,
Major , and I must get back. Shall I
give information to the police ? "
"If you will be so kind , " said the
Major , listlessly , and he let the doctor
go away without another word.
All through that long night he knelt
beside the bed upon which lay the
corpse of the man whom he had loved
as a son. The Major was broken-heart-
ed by the sorrow which had come up-
on him , and when he issued from the
chamber of death he looked years old-
ed than when he entered it.
Fortunately he was not forced to
sorrow alone ; towards midday David.
arrived from town filled with grief
and surprise at the untimely end of
Maurice. : He found the Major in the
library , and grasped him by the Hand
with genuine sorrow.
"My : poor uncle , " he said , in a low
voice. "I cannot tell you what I feel.
Etwald telegraphed to me the first
thing in the morning , and I came down
by the earliest train there was. Poor
Maurice-and ! we parted in anger. "
"More's the pity , " sighed Jen , lean-
ing upon the shoulder of Sarby ; "but
you cherish no anger in your heart
now ? "
"Heaven forbid , sir ! "
David spoke so fervidly that Jen
saw plainly' he meant what he said.
The massive face of the young man
looked worn and haggard in the
searching light of the morning , and
whatever enmity the love of the same
woman had sown between him and the
dead , it was not to be denied that he
was suffering cruelly from remorse !
at their unhappy difference. Jen was
sorry , but even in his own grief he
could not forbear a stab.
"You can marry Isabella now , " he
said , bitterly.
"No ! " said David , faintly , turning
his face away. "At least , not yet. "
The Major looked at him for a mo
ment or two , then , with a new idea in
his head , he took David by the hand
and led him into the chamber of death.
"Swear , " said he , "that you will not
marry Isabella Dallas until you have
discovered and punished the murderer
of Maurice. "

At one of the most important gro-

That people will eat elephant meat
with a relish has been proved by
butcher in Frankfort-on-the-Main , to
his own profit and without the knowl-
edge of his customers. This enter-
prising tradesman learned that a vi-
cious elephant was to be killed and
made a bargain for the carcass. With-
in a few days that elephant was trans-
formed into 3,800 pounds of sausage
meat and every pound was disposed of
at a good price.
It was a year ago that the London
post office directory contained for the
first time among the lisf of trades
"aeroplane manufacturers. " There was
only one then , but now six are enu-
merated under that heading. Subsid-
iary trades are springing up. Two
firms announce themselves as aero-
m
plane 'engine manufacturers , two are
aeroplane fabric makers and there is
one propeller maker , as well as a
provider of "aeroplane timber and
bends. "
Whitefield , one of the founders of
Methodism , who died in 1770 , was a
strenuous preacher. His usual pro-
gram was forty hours' solid speaking
each week , and this to congregations
measured in thousands , but he often
spoke sixty hours a week. This was
not all. For "after his labors , instead
of taking rest , he was engaged in of-
fering up prayers and intercessions or
in singing hymns , as his manner was ,
in every house to which he was in-
vited. " ,
Is a woman ever justified in poi-
soning her husband ? The question is
suggested by a recent incident in
Servia. Sara Chumitch seems to have
had an undesirable husband , for he
was a notorious and Implacable usurer.
At the moment when he was about to
ruin several families who were in
debt his wife intervened and poisoned
him. Next day she received a letter
of gratitude , signed by hundreds of
citizens. She was acquitted by the
jury and left the court amid cheering
crowds.
Says the Pekin and Tien-Tsin Times :
"A novel sort of crime was discov
ered by the Tien-Tsin police when a
portly native was arrested and asked
to explain his embonpoint. He had a
thieves' bag around his waist , filled
with dead cats to the number of seven ,
One of them , a very fine specimen of
the tortoise shell , was still quite warm.
In a smaller bag was found the lure ;
It consisted of bits of dried fish treated
with some deadly poison. The man
was sent up to the yamen , where he
received thirty blows and one month's
Imprisonment.
Ernesto Nathan , Mayor : of Rome ,
who declined on several occasions to
accept a decoration from King Victor
Emmanuel , was finally forced by a
clever ruse on the part of the king
to take the grand cross of the crown
of Italy. Nathan was making a call
at the Quirinal , and when about to
depart was asked to take from the
queen a little parcel to his wife. The
box contained the decoration , which
the mayor was compelled to accept ,
and by virtue of which he became a
member of the small fraternity of
which his sovereign is the head.
Although the use of telephones in
mines is not of recent origin , the ad-
vantages are , perhaps , hardly really
appreciated until they have once been
tried. Probably at no time in the his-
tory of mining has there been a great-
er demonstration of .the great need of
telephones in mines than at the Cher-
ry coal mine disaster. How many more
lives could have been saved had the
mine been fully equipped with tele-
phones is entirely problematical , but
it is certain that the number would
have been greater had opportunity
been afforded for communication be-
tween the rescuers and the entombed
men. - Philadelphia Record.

Military Hats.
An old military dictionary tells Hi
that rats were sometimes used In waJ
for the purpose of firing powder mnga
zines by means of lighted matches tie ( *
to their tails. We cannot offhand re
call any historical instance of this , but
presumably it did occur , seeing thai-
Marshal Vauban laid down special .
rules for counteracting it. Anyhow ,
the dodge Is as old as Samson , whe > .
,
you may recall , used foxes in a similar
way for a somewhat similar purpose.
As to the royal rat catcher , we may
add that he had a special official livery.
According to Pennant's "British Zoolo
gy , " it consisted of a scarlet costume . ,
embroidered with yellow worsted , lav
which were figures of mice destroying-
.
wheat sheaves. By the way , rats were-
not the only animals honored with ft- . "
special catcher. Liecester , for instanc , .
used to pay a yearly salary of 1 11 * ' ry
6d to its municipal mole catcher.--
