CHAPTER XXII. - ( Continued. )
The door opened to admit-Dr. Et
wald. Both the Major and the Creole
stared at him in surprise , as neither
for the moment could grasp the idea
that- he had been bold enough to pre
sent himself before those whom lie
had so deeply wronged.
"Ah , " said Etwald , as complacently
as ever , "I thought I should find you
here , Major : ; lut I hardly expected to
see Mrs. Dallas. "
"You villain ! " cried that lady , start-
ing from her seat. "Do you think I
want to see you after all the misery
you have caused' ! Why , I refuse even
to remain in the same room with you ! "
And with a furious gesture the Creole
swept past Etwaid and out of the door ,
which she banged loudly. Etwald look
ed at the door , shrugged his shoulders ,
and turned politely to the Major.
"It is just as well she is gone , " said
he , quietly. "It is better than our con-
versation should be private. "
"I wish to hold no conversation with
a scoundrel , sir ! " cried Jen , purple
" ' turned out
with rage. "I'll have . you .
of the house. " ,
"In that , case you'll never hear , what
I' have come to tell you. "
"What is that , sir ? " demanded Jen ,
in a'calmer tone.
"The truth ! My story is quite dif
ferent to that of Dido. "
" ' also. "
"David's was different
"I know it. But my story-the true
story-differs. from David's. Will
you hear it , Major , or shall I leave
your house before I suffer the disgrace
of being kicked out ? "
The Major considered for a tew mo-
ments before rfeplying. There was a
hinted mystery in. the manner of Et
wald which puzzle'd . him not a little.
Moreover , he wished to know the ic-
tual facts of the case , and now that .
Dido had fled , Etwald was he only one
who could tell them. Acting upon these
considerations , Jen sat down again in
his chair and sulkily gave Etwald per-
mission to remain and explain. This
the doctor proceeded to do at once.
"As you are aware , " said he , calml ,
"I escaped the charge of murder , and
very right , too , seeing that I was inno-
cent of the crime. But as to the steal-
ing of the body I am guilty. I am out
on bail , and must come up for trial !
soon , .on the charge that I spoke of.
However , I am not afraid , as I can de-
fend myself in a manner you little
dream of. But being out on bail , I
came to see you. "
"To tell me more lies. "
"To tell you the truth , my dear : Ma-
jor ; and I assure you that the truth
will surprise you not a little. But , by
the way , l\Iajor-Dido ? " ,
"She has fled. " '
"I know it. She was afraid of me. "
"Hardly , " replied Jen , a trifle spite
fully. . "You have lost \ the Voodoo
Stone , remember. "
"Yes. I was taken advantage of for
once in my life. A cunning woman ,
that Dido. Sho got permission to see
me in prison , and to talk to me alone ,
under the pretence of seeing me about
her evidence. Knowing that I could
compel her to do what I wished by
means of the Voodoo Stone , I saw her
with pleasure , as it was my intention
to put the words likely : to get me off-
to prove my innocence-into her
mouth. However , while I was talking
to her , she suddenly produced a phial
of the devil-stick poison , and threw it
in my face. Of course , I instantly be-
came unconscious , and it was then
that she wrenched the talisman off my :
watch-chain. "
"Is the poison so quick in its effects ,
then ? "
"I should think so , " said Etwald ,
coldly. "You saw how David fell in
court , after wounding his hand. I fell
in prison quite as quickly , but as my
skin was not scratched , and the .drug-
only took : effect through the nostrils , I
recovered. "
"And when you recovered ? " .
"The gaoler told ! me that Dido had.
called him in , saying that I had faint-
ed. Whilethey were getting me round
Dido went off with the : Voodoo Stone.
Those about the prison had no reason
to detain her , so she left. When I
found the Voodoo 'Stone gone , " added
Etwald , impressively , "I knew that the
black wretch would give evidence
against me , and that the game was at
.
an end. "
"You expected to be hanged ? " sug-
gested Jen.
"Well , no , " replied the doctor , with
wonderful coolness. "I did not expect
that. If the worst came to the worst ,
I knew that I could protect myself ;
but I must admit tha he confession of
my counsel Mr. Sarby , ook me some-
what by surprise. "
"Poor .Da , 'it- ! " 'sighed Jen , thinking
of the young man cut off : in the bloom
of his youth.
"Poor David ! " echoed Etwald , with
a sneer. "Foolish David , you might
say , to die for the sake of a woman. "
"Yet you risked death for the same
woman. " ,
"I risked danger for the woman's
fortune , " retorted Etwald , with revolt-
ing candor. "It was the money I want-
ed. But death , no , I did not risk that. "
"I am not so sure of that. Etwald.
How did you know that David would
confess in so dramatic a fashion ? " '
"I did not know it , Major. ; As I said
before , his confession took me by sur
prise. . Still as I was innocent , I knew '
that I could not be hanged.
"Well , " said Jen , growin \ieary of
this long - continued conversation ,
which seemed to lead to nothing , "at
all events , you'll : not escape a long
teim of imprisonment. "
"Why ; ? " said Etwald , with an agree-
able : smile. "There are two opinions
about that Mine is that I , shall go
freet Then , " he added , coolly. "I In-
tend to seek Barbadoes , and search ior

the Voodoo Stone. "
"I hope you'll get the change of go-
ing ; but I doubt it. However , if you
do get as far as the West Indies , you'jl }
find friends there. Mrs. Dallas and
her daughter go back to their estates
in Barbadoes within the month. "
"Really ! " said Etwald , again. "Then
I may marry her after all. "
"She won't have you. "
"Oh , I think so. I have a means of
compelling her to marry me. "
Jen jumped up with a scowl. (
"I'm tired of your enigmas , " he cried
angrily. "What is it you Wish to tell
me ? "
"The name of the person who com-
mitted the murder ! "
"I know it : David Sarby ! "
"Not at all ! He accused himself to
shield the real 'person ! "
"To shield the assassin ? " gasped
Jen , thunderstruck. "And who is the
.
assassin ? "
"Can't you guess from his self-accu-
sation ? Why , the woman he loved ! "
"Isabella ? "
"Exactly. Isabella Dallas , and none
other , killed your boy , Maurice. "
CHAPTER XXIIL
"Isabella killed Maurice ! " said Jen ,
pushing back his chair. "Impossible ,
Doctor. You must be mistaken. "
"I don't think : so ! " replied Etwald ,
dryly. "I saw her do it. So did Da
vid. "
"You must be mistaken ! " insisted
the Major once more. "David was in
New : York on the night when the crime
was committeed. "
A
"By his own confession In court ,
David was in the grounds of Mrs. Dal-
las.on that , night. "
.
"Yes , yes. You are right ! " said Jen , I
in a bewildered tone. "Still , I cannot I
believe that Isabella killed Maurico.
She loved him dearly , and had no rea-
son to murder him. "
"None in the world. Yet she cer-
tainly took his life. Come , Major , I
won't worry you any longer with : n-
quiries. Dido hypnotised the daugh-
ter to commit the crime , as she had
willed the mother to steal the devil-
sticks Isabella is absolutely ignorant
I
of what she did , and firmly believed
that I was the guilty person. Now , of
course , she thinks David-by his own
confession-is the assassin. "
"But David confessed himself guilty
to save her ? "
"Of course ; but Isabella does not
know that. She thinks-and , on the
face of it , with reason-that David
killed Maurice out of jealousy. "
"How was it David saw the crime
committed ? "
"I shall explain , " said Etwald. "Da-
vid found out that Maurice was going
to meet Isabella that night , secretly ,
in the grounds of Mrs. Dallas , near the
gate. Determined to see the meeting ,
and to learn if there was any hope for
him , he feigned a journey to New York
in order to lull any suspicions which
Maurice might have that he was be-
ing watched. Instead of going , how-
ever , he concealed himself at a spot
where he could see the gates , which
opened on to the highway. Now , " add-
ed Etwald , with a side glance at the
Major , "it so happened that I also
wished to see that meeting. "
"How did you know it was about to
take place ? "
"I learned the fact from Dido. ' Well ,
I saw David in his place of conceal-
ment , and guessed his reason for com-
ing. Maurice appeared at * the rendez-
vous , and shortly afterwards Isabella ,
under the hypnotic influence , came
down the avenue. In her hand she
held the devil-stick , and came swiftly
towards Maurice. : He , not understand- -
ing the deadly weapon with which she
was armed , came to meet her with
outstretched arms. She thrust the
devil-stick before her , and wounded
him in the palm of the hand. With a
cry he fell-dead. "
"Within the gates ? " asked the Ma-
jor , much agitated.
"Yes , within the gates , " responded
Etwald. "When Isabella had struck
the blow , she dropped the devil-stick in
the grass where , if you remember , it
found by Battersea. Then she '
was re -
turned to the house by the little path
which leads thereto through the sur-
rounding trees. The body lay in the
bright moonlight , full in the center of
the path , not a stone's-throw from the
high-road. David and I rushed sim-
ultaneously from our hiding-places ,
and I explained hurriedly that the body
must not be found in the grounds. Ho
understood , and we carried the body on
to the road. Before we * had time to
deliberate what was to be done , we
heard the noise of approaching foot-
steps , and afraid-both of us-of being
accused of the crime , we fled. Then
you came down the road and discover-
ed tlie corpse. "
"Yes. I heard the poor lad's cry , "
said Jen , simply , "and I ran down at
once. You must have been very quick
in your movements. I wish both of
you had been more opsn with me. "
"I am afraid : that would have been
impossible , Major , " said Etwald , rising.
"You were so distracted over the death
Maurice , ans so unjust in your ha
tred of me , that it would have been
dangerous to trust you. "
"Am I unjust in my hatred of you ? "
demanded Jen , getting on his feet. "I
think not , Dr. Etwald. Your desire to
marry Isabella , or , rather , her fortune ,
has been the cause of all these ills.
Dido was only your instrument , whom
you compelled ! to work : by means of the
Voodoo Stone. That she betrayed you
in the end was your punishment. I -io
not blame her so much as I do you.
YoU alone are responsible for the death
of those two poor lads of mine. "
"Well , have it your own wcy , " said
Etwald , carelessly. "I am a scoundrel

In your eyes , I dare say ; but If yoi :
I will permit me to see you to-morrov
at 11 o'clock , I shall be able to provi
. that r am not quite so black as yoi
I have painted me. " .
"I never v/ant to set eyes on yoi :
again , " said Jen , bluntly. .
"Nor will you-after mid-day to
morrow. But you will regret if you d ' . :
not grant me this interview. If yoi 1
are wise you will arrange to le . m ;
come here to-morrow at 11 , and met ; . :
Mrs. Dallas and her. daughter. "
"Both of them will refuse to mee !
you. You saw Mrs. Dallas to-day , how
she behaved. "
"Like the fool she is , " said the doc-
tor , putting on his hat. "Well , I art :
going. Will you see me to-morro\i
morning ? "
"Yes. I don't know what possibh
things you can find to say to me aftei
this interview ; but , as you make suet
' a point of it , I'll see you. "
"And ask Mrs. Dallas and her daugh
ter to be present. "
"Yes. I'll try and get them to come. '
. Later on in the day Jen sent a letta :
to "The Wigwam , " asking Mrs. Dalla :
to come with her daughter the nex
morning at 11 o'clock. He did not ex-
plain that Dr. Etwald would be pres.
ent , as he knew the temper of Mrs
Dallas. Whatever might be at stake
even if it were to her own interest , shi !
would refuse to meet the men towards
whom she bore so strong a hatred
Therefore Jen decided to be diplomat. ;
ic , and keep silent as to the visit 01
Etwald. . During the afternoon a not <
was brought to Jen , in which Mrs. Dal
las promised to come and to bring Isa
bella.
At 11 o'clock next morning Mrs. Dal.
las arrived with Isabella , the lattei
looking wan and ill. Even had tin
Major : not promised to be silent , he <
could not have brought himself to tel' '
the poor girl the truth at that moment
After all , she was perfectly innocent
and had committed the crime unwit-
tingly. Dido was the culprit , not Isa :
bella ; and the Major felt a profound
pity for the miserable girl , who had
been made a tool of by the unscrupu
lous negress and the evil-minded Et
wald.
"Well , Major , " said Mrs. Dallas , aftei
the first greetings were over , "what die
that wicked man say to you yester
day ? "
"He explained how .my poor Maurice
was killed. "
"Ah ! " said Isabella , clasping hei
hands , "I am sure that it was that ter
rible man who made David kill Mau
rice. Oh , if I had only met Maurice or
that night , I might have prevented the
quarrel. "
*
"Did you meet"l\Iaurice , my dear ? "
"Of course not , " replied Isabella , ir.
the most truthful manner. "I did no
leave the house , ' and Dido was witl
me all the time. I expe : Maurice was
waiting for me , and that David sa \ "
him. No : doubt they quarreled , anc ;
then the death took place. I had a
nervous headache , and Dido hypnotized
me. When I woke ! : up it was too late
to see Maurice. "
The Major had learned all that h !
I wished to know , and , not wishing tc
i . pursue the subject , turned the conver-
sation by explaining that Etwald was ! !
coming in a few minutes. Mrs. Dallas
rose up in a cold fury.
"Did you ask me here to insult me ,
Major ? "
"I asked you here at the particulai
request of Dr. Etwald. "
"Wh'y ? What can he have to say -'o ;
my mother ? " cried Isabella , in sur-
prise.
"Miss Dallas , I know no more than
you do ; but he evidently desires to
-nake : : a clean breast of this whole mis-
erable business. "
"I have heard quite enough about it , "
said Mrs. Dallas , marching towards the
door , "and I refuse to meet that mon-
tster . of iniquity ! "

GIRLS AS VETERINARIES.
They Have Established Free Dispen-
sarieSjWhere Animals Are Treated.
It hasn't taken long for the storj
of the free dispensary for animals to
get noised abroad. To the headquar-
ters recently opened in this city now
goes daily , according to the Philadel-
phia Record , a stream of visitors , some
with sick cats and dogs , others with
injured or ailing horses and seeking
professional aid for their family pet
or their four-footed fellow worker. At
the new dispensary , known as the ; :
Oaroline Earl White Free Dispensary ! !
for Animals , all the dumb invalids
are given a welcome and in their turn
ministered to by the veterinary sur-
geon who is in attendance.
But the most interesting feature of
this new work is that the services of
the regular veterinary who is in at-
tendance are not essential , for the wo-
men themselves are ready to play
doctor to the sick animals and some
of them are as well qualified to do
so as any diploma veterinary from
the halls of surgical learning. Mrs.
Caroline White , the founder of the dis-
pensary , has made a life study of the
ailments of animals and during her
attendance at . the dispensary she is
ready at any time to treat a horse or
dog or cat brought there sick or in-
jured.
"I don't know whether a woman
veterinary surgeon is a rarity or not , "
said one of the ladies in attendance
at the dispensary , 'but I can think
of few vocations that are more suit-
able to women than that of minister-
ing to the wants of dumb animals.
When we women see a horse brought
limping to the dispensary our hearts
go out to the poor thing and we are
ready to do any kindness in our pow-
er to help the wounded one. What
could be more appealing than the look
in ' the eyes of a horse or dog or cat
suffering agony and unable to help
itself ? If we have any : horror of blood
and -wounds : we soon overcome it when
those appealing eyes are turned upon
us. . "

Homes.
A wireless message from Grand Ma :
rais , Minn. : , received at Duluth , salt
dn
that forest fires were bearing down on
the village and that it seemed doomed
The operator said it was his last mei '
sage , as the fire was getting so close
that he would have to abandon his

is on the north shore of Lake Superior
and is an old trading post. So far as
is known , no lives have been lost. Wild
animals are being driven to the lake
shore by the fires. Reports received in-
dicate that the entire hortheastern 'part
of Slinnesota is smoldering , that hun-
dreds of men are out fighting the fires ,
and that many villages are threatened
with destruction.
A desperate battle is being waged
I by farmers and miners against forest
fires in four different districts within
a fifty mile radius of Houghton , Mich.
.
They are trying to save a number of
sma.ll settlements from destruction by
the fast spreading flames.
'The ' ' woods are dry and a brisk wind
is carrying the fire from tree to tree
with alarming rapidity. A change in
the direction of the wind saved the
town of Alston , which had been threat
ened. At L'Anse village several hun-
dred residents quit labor and business
and by nieans of trenches and back
fires worked to arrest the progress of
the fire toward the town. The Baraga
County infirmatory , a few miles from
: L'Anse , was threatened by the fire , and
| only valiant fire fighting saved the
: place from destruction. The inmates
; ; were taken to private residences. Fires
are raging in Ontonagon and Kewee-
naw Counties , and also near Allouez ,
j Ahmeek , and Gay. The loss of ties ,
: poles , and other cut timber is great ,
while much standing timber is fire
swept. Fires are reported between
Laurium and Torch Lake.
The entire country to the west of
Washburn , Wis. , is being swept by for-
est fires and damage running up into
thousands of dollars is reported from
the stricken district. The great blue-
I
berry fields west of that city have been '
destroyed. Hundreds of miles of coun-
try is fire swept. The smoke is so
thick that the view of the sun has
been shut out for days. Forest fires
have leveled the south half of the town
, of Mosinee , Marathon County. Ju = t
before wire communication was cut off
word came * that a number of buildings
had been destroyed : , including ten resi-
dences , four stores , two saloons , post-
office and a sawmill.
CHINESE SLAVES ARE FREED.
.
Compromise Measure Ultimately
Will Liberate Millions.
The Chinese government by impe
rial rescript has abolished slavery
throughout the empire and has pro-
hibited henceforth the purchase and
sale of human beings under any pre-
text. The reform , however , is not alto-
gether complete , as by the re-
script certain forms of slavery will
still be tolerated. In a report made
to the State Department in Washing
ton it is said that the retainers of the
Manchu princes are not emancipated ,
i but it is forbidden to call them slaves.
They have long enjoyed educational
and other privileges , although still
bound to their hereditary masters.
The household slaves of the Man-
chus are also refused emancipation ,
but their status under the law is im-
proved. They are to be regarded as
hired servants , but their services are
due for an unlimited term of years , so
that they are in reality perpetual
slaves. Under this rescript the prac-
tice of selling children in China in
times of famine is abolished , although
they may be bound for a specific term ,
but never beyond the age of 25 years.
Concubinage is still to be permitted
but there is to be no bargain and sale.
Such concubines are to be married
with proper legal formalities , and they
will enjoy the protection of the law
but in reality they will be no better
than perpetual slaves to the principal
wife.

The rescript is said to be a com-
promise measure , but it will eventu-
ally give : freedom to millions of human
beings , and is declared to mark a dis-
tince advance in civilization.

Country Picnic of To-Day.
Suppose you had been touring in an
airship and had been spinning over
Kansas In' a light summer breeze.
Suppose that you had noticed signs of
little
activity as you approached the
town called Frankfort. Picture your
astonishment , says J. George Freder-
ick in the Travel Magazine , on learn-
ing that there was an automobile fete
= n that day and that several hundred
farmers and their families were steam- a
ing their cars into town , until the
streets of the town were quite blocked
with autos !
Your ideas of a backwoods Kansas , ,
town and the farmers would have a
rude jar , for here was Mme. Farmer
in a becoming automobile veil and a
stylish tailormade suit taking tea at
an afternoon reception-instead of
working the butter churn , in a wrap- .
per , or staring open-mouthed/ of
the window in a scared way when you
steamed past in your auto.
And there was her daughter , draped .
in the sweetest of summer gowns , talk-
ing of college days with a dapper
youth with a fraternity hatband and
positively the latest thing .off Broad-
way in neckwear ! And that was ona
little unknown town in Kansas !
A Boy's Holiday
The ardent controversy which has
been waging in England and America
concerning the best way to dispose of
school boys in the long summer vaca-
tion has prompted the Grand Trunk ,
Railway System to issue a special pub-
lication giving suggestions and practi-
cal hints to parents , as to what to do
with the school boy during , the months
of July and August. The vacation camp-
Is one of the solutions and the publica-
tion entitled , "What shall a Boy do
with his Vacation ? " thoroughly covers
the ground.

Omaha folks are telling of the ar- , _
dent wooing of a belle of that town '
by an Italian count , whom the young
lady met last year while touring the
continent with her mother. The count
hastened to America soon after the
arrival home of the object of his at-
tention and , presenting himself at the
Omaha office of the father , unbur
dened himself of his sentiments.
"I lofe her ! I lofe her ! " he ex
claimed dramatically. "I desire ver *
mucha to marry her ! "
