CHAPTER XXI.
Great was the astonishment through-
out the neighborhood when it became
known that Dr. Etwald , the clever phy-
sician , of Deanminster , had been a.r-
rested on the doublt charge of murder
and theft of a dead body. Major Jen
worked hard/ to procure evidence
against the prisoner , and David Sarby
worked just as hard to obtain material
for the defence. The attitude taken
up by the youngr barrister astonished
everyone , and was universally con-
demned.
After that memorable interview in
the library ; when Etwald was accused
and arrested , Arkel took away his pris-
oner in custody by virtue of the war-
rant , and left Major Jen alone with the
counsel for the Sefence. When the
sound of Etwald's carriage had died
away in the distance : Jen , who had
hitherto kept silence , raised his head
and looked at David.
"Well , sir ! " he said , in an icy tone
to his adopted son. "I am waiting for
you to explain this very extraordinary I
"conduct. "
"Major Jen , I have no explanation
to give you. "
"What ! " cried his guardian , rising.
"Do you dare to sit there and tell me
that you are a traitor , a coward , an
ungrateful man ? What will every one
say , when they learn that you intend : .
to defend Etwald ? " I
"They will say almost as cruel things
as you have said , " returned David , still
composed. "But I do not care for the
opinion of the public. I act according
to the dictates of my own conscience.
I have an excellent excuse. "
"What is it , if I may be so bold as
to ask ? "
"I refuse to tell you at present. "
"Indeed : and am I ever to learn the
reason of your extraordinary beha-
" .
"
vior ?
"Yes , Major. You shall learn my
reason at-the trial. I shall explain
it when I make my speech for the de-
fence. "
"David , there is something very ex-
traordinar " 'in your gehavior , and you
refuse to give me your reasons there-
for. If I wait until the trial , will you
explain ? "
"Yes. I have already told you so.
In my speech for the defence you will
be fully satisfied that I have good cause
to act as I am doing. "
"Very good , " replied Jen , calmly.
"Then I shall say nothing to anyone
about your very curious behavior. I
shall work hard to secure the condem-
nation of this scoundrel. You can do
your best to save him. But against ;
you , or for you , I shall not open my
mouth. At the trial I shall expect an
explanation. "
"You shall have it. "
"But , " added Jen , "as until that ex-
planation we are enemies-although not
openly so-I shall require you to leave
my house. "
"I expected that you would do so , "
rejoined David , bowing his head. "In-
deed , you can act in no other way. To-
day I shall take lodgings in Deanmin-
ster ; and wait for the trial. I shall de-
fend Etwald to the best of my abil-
ty ; and then you can decide whether ;
: am fit to re-enter this house. "
Arkel had sought out as witnesses
against Etwald seven persons. Firstly ,
Mrs. Dallas , who was to prove that she
ivas hypnotized frequently by Dido.
Secondly ; , Isabella , who was to depose
hat before the murder her mother had
been sent by Dido to "Ashantee" to
steal the devil- % ticlc , which under the
nfluence of hypnotism. Thirdly , Bat- j
ersea , who was to give evidence that
le had found the devil-stick within the
grounds of Mrs. Dallas. Fourthly , Meg ,
tvho was to prove the offer of Batter- c
ea to sell her the stick. Fifthly , Major
Fen , who could explain the engagement
yf the dead man to Miss Dallas , and
he rivalry of his assassin. Sixthly ,
Niggard , whose evidence would , tend Jo !
how that Dido had drugged him for
he purpose of stealing the body. And _
eventhly , the most important witness ]
of all , Dido , who was to depose to the '
manufacture of the poison , the re-fill-
ng of the devil-stick , and the giving
f it to Dr. Etwald , so that he might : :
perpetrate the crime. With these seven ,
A-itnesses Jen did not see how Etwald
j
ould escape the gallows. r
"Aro you sure that all these people ,
vill speak , out ? " asked the Major of
\rkel when the list was submitted to I
ilm.
"I am certain of all save one , " rei
plied Arkel , in a dissatisfied tone , "and t
he worst of it is that Dido is the one. " c
/ "Does she refuse . to give evidence c
igainst Etwald ? " c
"I should think so. Simply because i
10 is the holder of the Vootloo Stone. 1 1)
FT.e only change of getting the negress I
1)r
o confess the whole truth is for either r
-oii or I to gain possession . of that c
tone. "
"Where is it ? " i
ic
"Etwald carries it on his watch c
hain. I saw him the other day in c
rison , and he showed it to me. A
ommon ' little black : stone it is , but
Dido would kill him with pleasure to
.
jet it. " C
"Kill Etwald ! " ejaculated Jen. Then , 1
fter a pause , he added : "I believe you
re right , Arkel , for it is not the man
imself she cares about , but the stone.
rlowever , I'll see Isabella and make her 'I
icrsuade Dido to speak against Et- .
vald. " .
The Major went 'at once to "The
iVigwam , " but , notwithstanding all his
loquence , in spite of the tears and im-
lorings of Isabella , the negress posi-
ively declined to say a word against
he Great Master. ,
"While dat big man hab de Voodoo t
tone , I do nothin'-nothin' , " she said. I
And from this obstinate position they t
ill failed to move her.
"Why don't you get the Voodoo t

® . . w"w
Stone yourelf , if you adore it , so
much ? " cried Mrs. Dallas , exasperated
by this obstinacy. - . '
"Ah , if I hab dat Voodoo Stone , I be
great ; great-de queen ob the debbes. :
But he no let it go ! "
"Go and see Dr. Etwald , and tell him
you will give evidence against him un-
less he gives you the stone. "
This suggestion came from Isabella ,
but of 'it Dido took : no notice. Without I
a word to mother or daughter , who
were both in tears , she left the room.
In the afternoon she was nowhere to
be found , and both Mrs. Dallas and Isa
bella came to the conclusion that she
had fled to avoid being forced into giv
ing incriminating evidence. They fell
into one another's arms , and were be-
side themselves with terror. All the
evil done by Dido and Etwald seemed
likely to fall upon their innocent heads.
"Still , there is hope , " said Isabella.
"We will speak to Major Jen , and ask
him to send the police after this
wreached woman. "
This opinion was at once acted upon ,
and a messenger was , sent to "Ashan-
tee ; " but Major Jen was from homo ,
and it was not till 6 o'clock that he
presented himself at "The Wigwam"
and heard the story of Dido's flight.
"But she can't be very far away , "
said Jen , hopefully. "I saw her in
Deanminster , , and thought she had
gone there with a message from you.
But even if we had forced her into
court , she would not have given evi
dence against the holder of the Voodoo
Stone. "
"Dat so ! " said a hoarse voice at the
door.
The three people turned , and saw
Dido , with an expression of triumph
on her dark face , enter the room.
"Dido ! " cried Isabella. "You did not
? * '
run a away ?
"No , missy , I tell de truth against
dat man. " * '
"But the Voodoo Stone , " said Jen ,
wondering what she meant.
Dido opened her clenched fist. The
Voodoo Stone lay in the palm of her
-
hand.
How she became possessed of the
Voodoo Stone , Dido refused to say.
Jen had learned from Inspector Arkel
that Etwald wore the talisman on his
watch-charm , and he wondered in what
fashion Dido had contrived to penetrate
into the prison and to obtain it from
the doctor. The whole result of the
trial depended upon the transfer of the
stone.If Etwald kept it , Dido would
not dare to give evidence against him ,
and so , in the' absence 'of incriminating
details , he would go ree. As it was ,
the stone ' was now in the possession of
Dido , and for some ' reason , which Jen
was unable to fathom , she' was quite
content to betray her share in the plot.
By changing hands the Voodoo Stone
had transformed Dido into a traitress.
However , as the advantage derived
from the transfer was all on the side
of the prosecuption , Jen did not think
it wise to inquire too closely into the
means which Dido had employed to re-
gain the talisman. He saw nothing of
David , who pointedly kept out of his
way. He made no Inquiries of Dido ,
and simply informed the Inspector that
the negress was ready to explain Et-
wald's secrets , without telling him why
she was willing to do so.
When the trial came on , and after
the ( evidence had been given , everyone ,
without exception , looked upon the
prisoner as guilty , and they considered
it i futile when David Sarby rose to de-
liver i [ his speech for the defence. Ths
young man was even paler than usual ,
and when he rose laid down the devil-
stick , at which he had been looking.
When on his feet he glanced round the
court and caught the gaze of Isabella ,
who was staring eagerly at him. Then
he turned to his client. Dr. Etwald
smiled coldly on his counsel. David
shuddered , and picking up the devil-
stick : , spoke sharply and to the point.
"My lord , and gentlemen of the jury
-You have heard the evidence , which
makes out that my client is guilty.
That evidence is wrong , as can be
proved by one witness. I am the wit-
ness. In my rooms there is lying a P
confession , signed and witnessed ,
which sets forth that I am the guilty
) erson. It was I , not Etwald , who
murdered Maurice : Aylmer. Yes. I
was in love with Miss Dallas and
therefore was jealous of Maurice. I
mew that Dido possessed the devil- .
tick-and I bribed her to give it to 1
me. I pretended to go to the city on
the night of the murder , but , instead t
of doing so , I remained in the grounds
of Mrs. Dallas , where I obtained thr > t
levil-stick from Dido. I saw Maurice : !
meet with Miss Dallas. I saw them
r
kiss ) : and part. -Inflamed by jealousy , j
: rushed' after hirn and mpt him on the
road. He turned : in surprise , and flung
out his arms to keep me off. The dev-
I-stick , with its poison-fang protrud-
ng , was in my grasp , and in throwing
out his arm I wounded him in the palm
of the hand , , thus - " t
, David took : the devil-stick firmly in
his grasp and compressed the handle f
At once the iron tongue , with its drop ft
of venom , appeared. With the sharp f
point he made an irregular wound on
the palm of his hand , and cast the
devil-stick on the table before him. A
moment afterwards , amid the silent c
horror of the crowded court , he fell
down - dead.

CHAPTER XXII.
Naturally , the tragic end of the o
counsel : for the defence created a great
sensation. : The trial was brought an
abrupt conclusion , the court was
cleared : , and the body of the dead man
taken to the residence of Major Jen.

In his rooms at Deanminster was found

once Dr. Etwald was set at liberty oa
the charge of murder.
Whereupon he returned to his house
as though nothing had happened. Mr3
Dallas and Isabella came back to "The
Wigwam , " but without Dido. On the
day when the trial terminated in so
tragic a manner the negress disappear
ed , and with her the famous Voodoo
Stone.
"I wish I could have caught her , "
said Arkel to Major Jen. "She com-
mitted perjury in order to get Dr. Et-
wald hanged , and she ought to have
been punished for Her wickedness. It
has been a terrible affair , Major. "
Jen , who was now looking old and
broken down , agreed with a sad shake
of his grey head.
"My poor lads , " said he , in a voice
full of pathos. "First one and then
the other-to lose them both in this
awful fashion. "
"What ! " cried Arkel , in surprise.
"Do you pity Mr. Sarby ? "
"Why not ? " answered the Major ,
quietly. "To my mind he needs more
pity that poor Maurice. The lad was
driven mad by jealousy and he was
worked on by Dido to commit the
crime. The cause of all these troubles ,
Mr. : Inspector , is not Dr. Etwald , ut
that black witch. I wish 2iie could be
caught.
Dido was never caught. She was
, too clever to give the police a chance
of laying hands on her. Like a stone
cast into a wide ocean she disappeared
from Deanminster , and , possessed > f
the Voodoo Stone , possibly took her
way to her native Ashantee , there to
become the high priestess iri the hor-
rible fetish-worship of Africa.
For the next two days Major Jen
stayed in the house and watched ovsr
the corpse of David. The whole scene
was but a repetition of that which had
taken place when Maurice had died.
Both young men had perished from the
effects of the infernal African poison.
Both had perished in the bloom of
youth ; and on the right hand of each
was the fatal wound which had cor-
rupted , the blood. But the corpse of
David was here. The corpse of Mau-
rice , where ? Only Dr. Etwald could
answer the question , and he , released
on the charge of murder , was now out
on bail for the theft of the corpse.
While the Major was wondering what
would be the outcome of all the terri-
ble events which had filled-the last few
weeks , Jaggard entered the library ,
and announced that Mrs. Dallas and
her daughter wishes to see him. Al -
though he was unwilling to speak : to
those who had cause"d these troubles ,
Jen had no reasonable grounds for re-
fusing an interview. Therefore he gave
orders that the ladies should be shown
into the drawing-room. When he re-
paired thither , however , he found to
his surprise that Mrs. Dallas only was
waiting for him. i
: "I could not get Isabella further than
the door of your house ? " exclaimed
Mrs. Dallas , who was in deep mourn-
ing , whether for Maurice or David , or
for the loss of Dido , it is impossible to
say.
say."Why
"Why did she not come in ? " asked
Jen , coldly , for he did not feel very
amiably disposed towards the widow.
"I don't know. She is a strange girl ,
Major , and the events of the last f : w
weeks have shaken her nerves. "
"They have shaken mine , " retorted
Jen , grimly. -"But we need not discuss
these things , Mrs. Dallas. May I ask
why you have paid me this visit ? "
"To tell you that we are going away.
Back to Barbadoes , " replied Mrs. Dal-
las , with a sigh. "Yes , Major , after
what has taken place here , I can stay
no-longer in America. I shall sell my
house and leave for the West Indies
with my daughter within the month.
"I think it is the best thing you can
do , " said Jen , brusquely.
