( CHAPTER XII. , ( Continued. ) When riding home after this inter- esting conversation , the Major could not but admit to himself that Arkel had brightened wonderfully in his intellects since first taking charge of the case. The man was not brilliant , not even clever ; yet in the present in- stance he displayed more readiness of resource than Jen would have given him credit for. The theory of the drug- ging was worthy of investigation and the Major determined to see if any- thing could be discovered likely to support this view of the matter. He still held to .his belief in Jaggard's hon- esty , for it was incredible that an old servant of thirty years' standing should turn traitor all at once ; but h § thought it probable that some one might have taken him by surprise and 'drugged him. But as the window was closed , the person in question must have been concealed in the room. Here Jen's train of thought became confused. Jaggard was far from the condition of connected thought , or coherent words. He turned and tossed upon his poor bed with bright eyes , burning skin , and babbling tongue. His head was swathed in bandages , and the housemaid who watched. beside him had frequently to replace the clothes he tossed off in his violent movements. This nurse was a sickly , dark-eyed creature , who was strongly attached to Jaggard ; and it was her love for him that made her proffer her services to look after him , and that chained to his bedside. She reported to her mas- ter that Dr. Etwald had been that morning and was coming again in the afternoon , but that there was nothing to be done until the delirium had ex- pended itself. "Ay , " thought Jen , as he stood by the bed , "or until the man dies. If he , dies without regaining his senses , we will never know the truth. " He bent down .to replace the bed- clothes which the sick man had thrown ) ff , and , as he did so , a faint perfume , sickly and rich , struck his nostrils. It seemed to come from the bandages at the back of the head , and on bending down for a closer inspection , Jen saw that one of these was of finer linen than the rest. The fabric , was cam- bric , and with a ' start which made the blood turn to ice in his veins , Jen real- ized that it was a woman's handker- , chief. - "How came this here ? " he asked the housemaid , " pointing to the scrap of linen. "Oh , that was on the first night , sir , " she hastened to explain. "It was put on his head when in the room where he fell , sir. The doctor , sir , says as it ain't safe to take it away yet. A curtain interposed between the head of the patient and the light of the window. This Jen drew aside , and lightly removed the outside wrappings of the wound. The housemaid looked on in horror , for she did not dare to prevent her master from meddling , yet she felt sure that he was doing wrong. But Jen was bent upon making the discovery as to whom the handkerchief belonged ; and in a few minutes he had the outside bandages removed , and saw the handkerchief discolored with dry blood lying over the wound. With deft fingers he lightly touched the four corners. In one of them was the ini- tials "M. D. " "M. D. ! " said the Major to himself. "Margaret Dallas , the mother of Isa- bella. How did her handkerchief come into the room on that night ? And the perfume ? " It struck his sense of smell with a belief that he had smelt it before. I : Nothing is so strong to waken mem- ory as odor , and in less than half a minute the mind of the Major leaped back to where he had smelt it before. It was the perfume of the dried poison , f the devil-stick. . CHAPTER XIII. That the handkerchief : of Mrs. Dal- las / should be bound round the head of Jaggard was strange , but that it should be perfumed with the deadly scent which impregnated the devil-stick was stranger still. Had Mrs. Dallas found the wand of sleep ? Had Mrs. Dallas perfumed the handkerchief with its cruel poison ? Had Mrs. : : Dallas drug- ged or stupefied Jaggard on that fatal night by means of that saturated hand- kerchief ? These were the vital ques- tions which presented themselves to the puzzled Major. And here the personality of Dr. Et- wald intruded itself into the affair. It was Etwald who had bound up the wound with the handkerchief : in ques- tion , and had forbidden its removal. The question was , had he received it from Mrs. : Dallas , or had he found it on that night by the side of the insen- sible man ? If the first , Mrs. Dallas must have perfumed it designedly with the poison , and Etwald , knowing that it was so impregnated , must have used it advisedly as a bandage. If the sec- ond , Mrs. Dallas must have been in the room on the night in question , and have used the handkerchief to render Jaggard insensible. And in either case , as the Major very sensibly concluded , 1\ [ .S. Dallas must be in possession of the devil-stick. Otherwise , how could ' she have obtained the deadly scent ? "And the plain conclusion of the whole affair , " soliloquized Jen , "is that i Mrs. Dallas must have stolen the dev- 1-stick , must have murdered Maurice , and must have drugged Jaggard for the purpose of completing her work by stealing my poor boy's body. But her reason ? " . - . . . r _ _ _ ' ' e , " " . " . - , - - - - - - - - - - - - - - < :10 -9 That she did not desire Maurice for a son-in-law was an insufficient mo- tive for the commission of a triple crime. She had declined to sanction the engagement ; she had forbidden Maurice the house ; she had ample power to prevent the . match which was distasteful to her. Why , then , with this power , should she jeopardize lib erty and life by thieving the devil- stick , and killing the man ? In his per- plexity , -Jen sought out David and asked his opinion. The young lawyer gave a very decided verdict in favor of 0 Mrs. Dallas. "I don't believe that Mrs. Dallas had anything to do with the matter , " he said , in a decisive voice. "She had no motive to commit these three crimes , each one of which is more terrible than the other , Nor , Major , do I think that she has nerve or brain enough to de- sign or accomplish assassination or theft. " "But I assure you , David , the hand- ' kerchief is hers. " "Granted ; but you forget that Isa- bella was in the room on that night. She might have dropped the handker- chief. " "Well , " said Jen , after a pause. "That is not improbable. But the perfume ? " "Oh , " said David , with a shrug , "we know : that the scent is an Ashantee preparation. Dido's grandmother came from Ashantee , so it is just probable that Dido herself , knowing the secret , might have prepared a dose of the poi- son. " "Even so. Why should she have per- fumed the handkerchief ? " "I can't say , Major. You had better ask her. " "I shall I" ! cried Jen , starting from his chair. "And also I'll find out why she needed to prepare the poison at all. In my opinion , David , that black Jezebel is at the bottom of the whole affair. She stole the devil-stick : , she prepared the poison , murdered Mau rice , and stole his body. " . David retired to his room , and Jen went off to interview Isabella at "The Wigwam. " . He walked meditatively down to the gates , and here , on the high-road , his thoughts led him to a sudden conclusion respecting the com ing conversation with Miss Dallas. Without much consideration he retrac- ed his steps rapidly , and sought out David in his room. Then and there he asked him a question which was of vi- tal importance. "David , " said he , abruptly , "owing to the coming of Etwald and Arkel on the night upon which the body was stolen , I forgot to ask you what reception Miss Dallas met with on her return home. Who received her ? " "Mrs. Dallas. She had missed her daughter , and had been seeking for her in a state of terror-surely natural un- der the circumstances. I found her pacing the veranda , wondering what had become of Isabella. " ' "Pacing the veranda , " echoed Jen , thoughtfully. "Was she fully dressed ? " "Well , yes , so far as my memory serves me I think she was. " I "And Dido ? " I . "I saw nothing , or heard nothing , of Dido. When I found Mrs. Dallas , I simply performed my mission , and de- livered Isabella into her hands. The poor girl was quite distraught with the horror of the night , and was led unresistingly to bed by her mother. " "Mrs. Dallas dressed ! Dido miss- ing i ! " said the Major. "Thank you , Da- vid , you have told me all I want to know , " and , with a nod , Major Jen set off for the ' second time to "The Wig wam. " Fortune favored him , for on arriv ing within the grounds of Mrs. Dallas the Major met with Isabella herself , in a light-colored ! dress , with sunshade and straw hat ; she was strolling down the walk which led to the gate. On coming up with Jen , he was surprised to see that her manner was calm and collected ; in all respects different from that displayed during the frenzy of the midnight visit. He could hardly be- lieve that she was the same girl. "I am glad to see you , Major , " said she , holding out her hand. "You have saved me the trouble of a journey , as I was on my ; way to your house. " "To see me , Miss Dallas ? " "It is my intention to aid you in your search for the assassin of Mau : : rice. Oh , yes , you may look rjotibtful as to my ability to help you , but I can and will. I am not the mad woman who burst into your library at 3 i in the morning. I am cool and calm , and Jient ; upon reve'nge.Iaurice is dead. f loved him. . And I intend to devote myself to avenging his death. Come , Major , sit upon this seat beside me and relate all you have heard , all you , lave disco'ered.Yith mv woman's I wit I may be able to help you in the way the mouse aided the 'lion. Begin ! " Jen was astonished , both at her : per- emptory tone and her quiet manner. Whatever iniluence had been at work. ! it was certainly wonderful how she had calmed down from the nervous , hyster- ical girl , into the reasonable and cool- headed woman. Isabella , noted the I amazement of the Major , and guessing its cause , she explained the reason of the change in her looks , manner , and . I lervous system. "Dr. Etwald cured me , Major , " she sa'id , quietly. "He has preserved my sanity , and I owe him a debt of grati- tude. " "You certainly do , " said Jen , dryly. 'Will you repay it by marrying him ? " "No. I shall marry no one ; not even Mr. Sarby , much as my mother vishes me to do so.

" Thus adjured , and feeling that he could not do without her assistance , Jen related all that he had heard from Arkel , and also his own personal ex perlence with regard to * the finding of I the handkerchief. Isabella heard him i to the end -silence , .her large" and shining eyes fixed upon his face. When he paused , she pondered , and finally spoke out. "It would seem that you suspect Di do or my mother of having something to do with the matter ? " she remarked , coldly. "No. I don't say that exactly ; : but you must admit that the finding of the handkerchief bound round Jaggard's head is strange. ' "Not at all. Dr. Etwald used it as a bandage. He picked it up in the bed- room. " " "Precisely , " assented Jen , eagerly. "Therefore , your mother- " "Had nothing to do with it , " int r- rupted Jen , "but the similarity thi kerchief in the room. Is there any- thing so very extraordinary in that ? " ' she added , impatiently. "The matter is very simple. I brought with me one of my mother's handkerchiefs instead of my own. In the agitation of finding the body gone I dropped it , and Dr. Etwald found it , to use as a bandage. That is quite plain , I think. " "Quite plain , " agreed the Major : , , "saving the presence of the perfume similar to that of the devil-stick. "I don't know anything about the devil-stick. I never saw it ; but with regard to the perfume I can explain. I was ill on that night , as you know , and Dido applied some of her negro remedies ; among them the perfume with which that handkerchief of my mother's was saturated. It was bound across my forehead to soothe the nerves. During my journey to your house I snatched it off , and - " "I can understand all that , " inter rupted Jen , 'but the similarity of the perfumes ? I must have that point cleared up. " "I dare say it can be , " said Isabella , quietly. 'Come up to the house , Ma jor , and speak to Dido. . I feel sure she can explain. " "Very good , " said Jen. "If her ex- planation is only as clear as your own , I shall have nothing to say. By the way , Miss Dallas , how did you escape from your room on that night ? " "So far as I can remember , I left by my bedroom window. I had only to slop out through it like a door , as it is a French window and opens on to the la wn. " "H'm ! " said Jen. "But , seeing that you were so ill , was no one watching beside you ? " \ "Yes , my mother was. So you see , Major , she could not have dropped the handkerchief in the bedroom of poor dear Maurice. " "No ; I understand. You have ex- plained clearly. All points have been elucidated save that dealing with the perfume. " "You will now be satisedfi on that point , " said Miss Dallas , rather dryly , , "for here is Dido. She prepared the drug and perfumed the handkerchief , and for all I know , " added the girl ironically , "she may have taken the hint from your wand of sleep. " .

If I had only $5 to spend on my gar den this year , I think I should put four of it into fertilizers and one into seeds and plants , says a writer in the Garden Magazine. : The reason why the general run of gardens in this country have only ordinary success is that a person commonly thinks first of the plants that he wants to eat , while the needs of the soil come afterward. Every single plant in a garden ought to be a success , and the only way * to have a successful garden is to have the soil rich. There is a . great deal more satisfaction in having a few stur- dy plants that are simply bursting with health and vigor than half- starved specimens of rarities and nov cIties. No one ought to be satisfied with a garden that is simply "good enough. " It ought to be a very good garden. , ?

The Southern Pacific Railway of Mexico has now extended its line to Acoponeta , ninety-five miles south of Mazatlan. The world's largest incubator is In Australia , where it is used to hatch 11,440 ducks' : eggs or 14,040 hens' eggs at a time. Between the whole press of Copen- hagen and all the , theatrical managers a curious contest has started because the managers want to compel the critics to write only favorable notices. The contest began when the board of theatrical managers forbade the ad- * mission of one critic representing a special theatrical paper. A report from Winsted , Conn. , states that while Ed Chaffee , who runs a stage coach between Winsted and Sandisfield , Mass. , was driving in a blinding snowstorm , a fox jumped on the seat beside him. The exhausted animal dropped to the bottom of the coach , and after about ten minutes' rest Jumped out and disappeared. Rey nard threw two hounds which had been chasing him off the scent wncn he jumped Into the coach. Mrs. Florence Kelly and Mrs. J. Borden Harriman of New York an' } Miss Grace F. Ward of Boston were the only women on the program as speakers at the recent annual confer ence on child labor which was held in Boston. There is no woman among the officers of the national child labor committee , only two on the board of fifteen trustees and only four among the thirty-one members of the commit- tee , in addition to the trustees. Miss Martha Berry , head of a school for poor white boys near Rome , Ga. , has just succeeded in raising the $50- 000 necessary to secure an equal sum from Mrs. Russell Sage and Andrew Carnegie. This school grew out of a little Sunday school that Miss Berry started in the mountains of Georgia about ten years ago. The school now owns a thousand acres of land , a large part of 'which is under cultivation , and several good buildings. It has 150 pupils and fifteen teachers. The $100- 000 will be used as an endowment fund. Soldiers have been used to provide artificial majorities In English elec- tions. In 1784 280 of the guards were sent to vote as householders against Fox In the Westminster election. Upon that occasion the device failed but it succeeded In an Irish election. The patron of a large Irish borough , finding that there was some uncertain- ty as to the return of his nominee , marched in a regiment of soldiers from their quarters at Loughrea and had them all elected freemen. Their vote put the victory of his candidate be- yond doubt. Apropos of W. H. S. Jones' applica- tion of his theories of malaria and decadence to Rome , R. T. Hewlett , . ; . u Englishman , suggests that malaria has played a part in the distribution of population in England. Parts of Nor- folk he says , were once much more populous than at present. The sa-mc is true of the region in Kent about Romney marslr. Both of these re gions are infested with anopheles and were at one time extremely malarious. "Has malaria been one of the factors causing the depopulation of these lo calities ? " asks Mr. Hewlett. At least two observers , Messrs. F. B. Loomis and J. A. Harrie , have , within the last two years , noted the curious fact that the prairie dog and bur-rowing owl sometimes Imitate , In a most realistic way , the rattle of tho rattlesnake , among whose dens they are often found. When the owls are : disturbed they utter this warning sound in such a manner that even ex perienced horses are startled and de- ceived by it. Mr. Harris suggests that this trick Is intended as a measure of self-protection. Even young bfrds , he says , make the same sound , when taken from the nests.-Nature. Marrying for votes was a device of old-time British 0 election agents. As the law stood before the reform act of 1832 , widows of freemen on marry ing again made their second husbands freemen and therefore voters. At election times widows were conse quently paid handsomely to go through a formal marriage . with a voteless bachelor , who for a consideration sim- ilarly agreed to support Smith or Jones , as the case might be. The pair I were married , the man voted accord- ! 1 Ing to Instructions , and then he and his wife , standing on either side of a tombstone , said "Death us do part. With this literal fulfillment of the mat- rimonial vow they regarded their mar riage dissolved. At the last election In Bristol before 1832 , a hundred wom- , en gave votes to men. . The fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Dr. Ludwig Zamenhof was the 'Ji > casion of many meetings at which the progress of esperanto was the chief topic. One speaker , before a large audience in London , quoted Professor Oswald , who declared in 1906 In a lec- ture delivered at Breslau that there were at that time more than 500,000 people who employed the language. Many improvements have suggested , but they have not Impressed the Es- peranto students favorably and , ac cording to Dr. Foerster , tended simply to confuse people and "to injure the foundation which has been firmly laid.

The kiss of the hand is undoubted Iy ancient and therefore is not derived from that of the lips , but probablj the converse Is true. The hand kiss is loosely asserted to be developed from servile obeisances in which the earth , the foot and the garments were kissed , the hand and cheek succeeding in jr- der of time and approach to equality of rank. But it is doubtful If that was the actual order , and it Is certain that at the time when hand kissing began there were less numerous gradation . , . . , o-.r of rank than at a later stage. " " Kissing of the hands between men Is mentioned In the Old Testament ; also by Homer , Pliny and Lucian. Tha kiss was applied reverentially to sac red objects , such as statues of the gods , as is shown by ancient works of art , and also among numerous etymologies by that of the Latin word "adoro , " and It was also metaphorically applied by the inferior or worshiper kissing his own hand and throwing the salute to the superior or statue.
