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 ? " . -

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

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. I live only to
avenge ! the death of Maurice , to recov

er his body from those who have sto
len it Come , Major , tell me what you
know ! "
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. "

Jllike : Ine Garden Rich.
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. , ? TTJ the only way to have a I
very ' gccd \ : : gai den is to enrich the soil
by fertilizers or manures.

Miss Martha Berry , head of a school

started in the mountains of Georgia
about ten years ago. The school now

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 >

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.
