CHAPTER XXIII. : ( Continued. )
But she was too late , for before she
could escape from the room , Dr. , Et-
wald - as- smiling and composed as
ever-entered the door. He placed
himself quietly before the enraged Mrs.
.
Dallas. '
"Do not go , madam , " said he , quiet-
ly. "I have something to show you. " '
"What is it ? " asked Mrs. Dallas , her
curiosity-like that of the Major - get -
ting the better of her rage.
"You will see in a few minutes. Miss
Dallas , you pale. I hope soon to bring
back the roses to your cheeks. Ma-
jor ) - "
"Don't. speak to me , you scoundrel ,
until you tell me what you have done
with the body of my boy. "
"You shall know In a few minutes ,
Major. Indeed , I think it is about time
that this comedy should end ! "
"Comedy ! " echoed Mrs. Dallas , in
scorn. "You mean tragedy ! "
"I mean no such thing ; " retorted Et-
wald , opening the door. "All true com-
edies end in the meeting of lovers.
There is my explanation. "
The three people gave a simultane-
ous cry of amazement and delight , for
there , - on the threshold of the room ,
alive and well , stood - Maurice - : ylmer.
CHAPTER XXIV.
"My Dear Major Jen-In the joy with
which you and Miss Dallas hailed the
appearance of the man whom yoa
thought dead , I was-for the time be-
ing-quite forgotten ; and very natur-
ally , too. Profiting by the occasion , I
left the room and went to the bedroom
where Mr. Sarby lay in a trance , simi-
lar to that into which Mr. Aylmer had
fallen , both trances being caused by :
the poison of the devil-stick. As you
have learned from his own lips , I re-
vived him , as I revived his friend ; so
now , my good Jen , you have your two
boys with you again , alive and well.
The comedy is finished ; and was I not
right in denying- : these past events
the misleading ! name of tragedy ?
"K ural1y , you will wish to know
how the dead came to bo alive , and for
what reason I behaved as I did. Well ,
here you shall find the whole explana-
tion so fully given that there will be l
no necessity 'Ar you to seek me. In-
deed , if you do so , you will not find
me , as by the time you receive this
letter I shall be well on my way to
New York. Thence it is my intention
to go abroad , and-as I told you at our
last meeting-you will never see me
again. When you finish this letter ,
you will , no doubt , be glad of this , and
it is just as well that I should remain
beyond your reach.
"I am-as you know-a physician ,
but I am also what you may not know
-a man of genius. I have brains , but
no money ; and for experiments in
chemistry , money , I regret to say , Is
extremely necessary. This being the
case , I have needed money , and that in
large quantities , all my life. As I could
not make it for myself-not having
the mercantile instinct-I resolved to
gain it by making a rich marriage. For
many years I have traveled the world.
Like Ulysses , I have known men and ,
cities , and some years ago , Chance - a :
deity at whose shrine I always pay my
devotions-led me to Barbadoes. Whil"
there I was attracted , as I always am
by the weird and mysterious , by the
superstitions of the African race. I
studied the cult of Obi the belief of
the Voodoo Stone , and by a strange
chain of circumstances , which I need
not relate , I gained possession of that
powerful talisman which is known to
all negroid America. With this stone
in my possession I was king so Lo
speak-of all the black race. This
power I determined to use to my own
advantage , and through it to make a
rich marriage.
"I discovered that Mrs. Dallas was
the richest women In the West Indies ,
that she had one fair-and marriageable
daughter , and that mother and daugh-
ter were under the influence of a ne-
gress called Dido , who was a profound
believer in the cult of Obi. I deter-
mined , therefore , to bend the negress
to my will by means of the Voodoo
Stone , and to marry the daughter. Un-
fortunately , Mrs. Dallas and her child
were in America. So thither I went in
order to prosecute my suit , and obtain
a rich wife in the person of Miss Isa-
bella Dallas. From information ob-
tained In Barbadoes I found where they
were living , so to their town I 'repair-
ed , and established myself as a physi-
cian. I made the acquaintance of your- .
self , of Mr. Aylmer , and Mr. Sarby , and
also of Mrs. Dallas and her daughter , i ,
the young and charming girl whom I
intended to make my wife.
"But here , as you may guess , I
found an unexpected obstacle. The
young lady was in love with Mr. Ayl-
mer , and would have nothing to do
with an elderly bachelor lite myself.
I determined to remove that obstacle ;
not by death , but by gentler means
which would do away with all risk ,
and place Miss Dallas in my power. :
Need I say that I allude to the devil-
stick ?
"I knew that you possessed it , my
dear Major , as I had been informed of
its existence , and of its owner by Dido.
Over this negress , by means of the
Voodoo Stone , I possessed complete
power. She was ready to do whatever
I wanted , and I employed her in for
warding my schemes. Her grandmoth-
er had come from Ashantee , the native
country of the wand of sleep , and knew
all about it ; also she knew how to pre-
pare the poison. These secrets she
transmitted to Dido , and I resolved to
obtain the devil-stick , to make Dido
prepare fresh poison , and to use the
stick against my rival , Mr. Aylmer.
"And now a word about his poison.
It does not kill : , but merely places its
victim in a trance state , which so
closely resembles death that , not even j
,
r- ' _ " I " " ' -
- _ . , i ; _ - ; {
.9
the most expert doctor can tell the dif
ference. If the trance continues the
victim dies-but there is an antidote
which , by the ' way , I obtained from
Dido-and this antidote , If used In :
time , can restore the victim from a
state of catalepsy to his pristine vigor.
I had made up my mind to use the
stick , and so , as I was anxious to give
Mr. Aylmer a chance of escape , I pro-
phesied to him ; a state of-life in death.
This phrase describes exactly the
trance state of those wounded by the
devil-stick - impregnated with its poi-
son.
"However , Mr. Aylmer did not take
my warning and leave off courting
Miss Dallas. On the contrary , he an-
nounced , his engagement , and carried
off the young lady in triumph. As you
may guess from what I have said be-
fore , I doomed him from that hour. I
made Dido hypnotize Mrs. Dallas in
order to have the devil-stick stolen. If
you remember , Major , I offered to buy
it , but as you refused , I had to have it
stolen. In order to compromise the
mother , I arranged that she should
steal it. She did , and without having
the slightest notion that she was com-
mitting the crime. When Dido obtained
the devil-stick she filled it with the
poison. Then she-by my directions
hypnotized Miss Dallas , put the devil-
stick into her hand , and sent her forth
to kill Mr. Aylmer. But I should not
say kill-as you know the devil-stick
cannot kill-let us say to cast Mr. Ayl-
mer into a trance. By this ingenious
plot-you must admit , Major , that it Js
ingenious-I got rid of the lover , and
obtained a hold over mother and
daughter.
"But to make a long story short , I
had the body of Mr. Aylmer stolen ,
with the aid of Dido , in order to revive
my rival. I did not wish him to die ,
so : I took away his body , and kept him
; . n the trance for some weeks ! , feeding
him in the meantime GO : : : ; as to preservo
life. While I was in prison , Dido at-
cended to him by my orders. Mr. Ayl-
mer was not concealed in my house ;
so that is why the police had a useless
search for the body. Where was he
concealed ? Ah , that is my secret.
"After the trial , seeing that 1Ir.Sar -
by had behaved so foolishly , I decided
to abandon the game. Evidently there
was no chance of my winning the hand
of Miss Dallas ; and also I did not wisn
Sarby to die. But if I revived him I
would have to revive Maurice also , the
more so as I did not want to stand my
trial for stealing his body. The rest : f
my story you know. I revived Mau
rice and brought him to you ; so I sup-
pose he will now marry Miss Dallas. I
also revived David to have the satis-
faction of seeing the women he loved
in the arms of another. In both cases
the antidote was efficacious. So now ,
my dear Major , as I said before you
have your two dear boys once more in
the flesh , and I hope you are satisfied.
Did I not tell you that the devil is not
so black as he is painted ? *
"Well , my plot has failed , and now I
am departing to look anew for a rich
wife. Also to find Dodo , and get back
the Voodoo Stone , of which she robbpcl
me. You will never meet me again ,
and I dare say you won't be sorry to
see the back of me. And now , my
dear Major , I fancy I have told you all ,
and you know the meaning of the
many mysteries which have puzzled :
you for so long. There remains only to
say adieu , and remain your evil genius ; ,

"Barbadoes.
"My \ Dear Major Jen-It is over a
year since I wrote you my explanatory
letter from Deanminster , and I little
thought that it would be necessary
for me to write you again , least of all
from this place. But here I came ; n
search of Dido ; ; and here I found Mrs.
Dallas , and to my profound astonish-
ment , her daughter-still Miss Dallas.
I sought an explanation. They wouid
not give me one. In despair - having
received the most uncivil reception-I
left them. Then , to my surprise , I ran
across Mr. David Sarby.
"He was glad to see me , and thanked
me for bringing him back from the
grave. I , on my side , complimented
him for saving my neck from the hang-
man's noose. The first greetings thus
being over , he told me the news whish
concerned those who were implicated
in our little comedy. I confess th.it
the news surprised me ; and I write you
for an explanation.
"In the first place , I learned from
Mr. Sarby that Isabella Dallas refused
to marry Mr. Aylmer , and that , far
from being offended , he appeared to be
be glad of the release from his engage-
ment. I also learned that he had sin e
married Meg Brance , who has always
been so deeply in love with him. Will
you be so kind , my dear Major , as to
explain this sudden misplacing of Mr. :
Aylmer's affections ? ,
"I learn also from Mr. Sarby that he
has prevailed upon Miss Dallas , the de-
serted Ariadne of Mr. Aylmer , to re-
ard his long devotion by giving him
her hand. I heard that they are to LI
married within the month , and that the
match is one which meets with the full
approbation of Mrs. Dallas. Under
these circumstances , I am afraid that
there is no chance of my marrying
Miss Dallas ; so I must content myself
with searching for another wife.
"I found in my brief interview with
Miss Dallas that she had learned how
she had tried to kill Mr. Aylmer while
undey the hypnotic influence of Dido.
Perhaps this knowledge broke off the :
match and the young couple took a
dislike to one another from the pecu-
liar circumstances of that nijbt Cer-
tainly-hypnotism or not - ono would
not care to marry a woman who had
attempted one's life ; so that , I conjec-
ture , is the reason for Mr. Aylmer's
withdrawal. Also , Miss Dallas must
. - f .
,
. . , - . - . . . . _ - _ . . . . . - _ e. _ _
have haf a horror of seeing constantly
before h tr the man whom-innocently
enough-she tried to kill. Hence her
refusal to marry your dear Maurice.
Am I wrong In these Ideas ? I think
not. Still , I should like an explanation
from you. As I shall be : here for some
months-searching for the Voodoo
Stone and DIdo-please send your let-
ter to Barbadoes , directed to your anx-
ious inquirer Max Etwald. "
* * * * a
"Barbadoes.
"My : Dear Major Jen - It is now somo
months since I wrote you , making' cer-
tain inquiries , but you have not been
courteous enough to gratify my curios-
ity. That is cruel of you ; Miss Dallas
is now Mrs. : Sarby , the other lady is
now Meg Aylmer ; yet you will not t2il
me how this strange transfer of wives
came about. Never ' mind , I am sure
the explanation I fancied in my last
letter is the correct one. But you are
a rude correspondent.
"I shall return good for ; evil , and tell
you that I have regained possession
of the Voodoo Stone. Dido is dead ;
killed by her own excitement : at an Obi
orgie. I am now the King- of the jtflack
Race throughout the world , by posses-
sion of the Stone , and to you I shall
remain , for the last time , my dear Ma
jor , Max Etwald. "

HOW SHE KNEW A NEW YORKER
. .
l'
An Easterner Jn.st Couldn't Tell How
.
a Western AVomaii "Guessed" It.
It was New Year's eve and no ex
traordinary gift of telepathy or intui-
tion was required to guess that he
was sighing for Rector's Martin's or
the Cafe de 1'Opera. Give him half a
a chance and he'd confide that there
was no place like Broadway on a
night like this. Yet here he was , far
from the luminous lane condemned
by fate to be taking a train out of
Kansas City for Denver and while
the revelers of the Rialto were hurry-
ing into their evening clothes for the
annual carnival he boarded a sleeping
car and threw his luggage into the
section which he had reserved. It
happened , however , to be already oc
cupied by a Kansas City girl who was
going out of town for a New Year's
house party , the Times of that city
says. When he of the Yiddish cast of
countenance , the ostentatiously silk-
lined top-coat , the showy little finger
ring , the exuberant hand luggage , and
the unmistakable air of proprietorship
appeared , the interloper murmured an
apologetic explanation that she was
only a local passenger getting off at
the second stop and started to find
another scat. But he politely insisted
upon her remaining and to make her
feel welcome launched into the usual
formula of questions as to her desti-
nation and place of residence with
which every chance traveling ac
quaintance opens.
The conversation might just as well
have stopped there as far as she was
concerned but it was not to be.
"This is an unusual New Year's eve
for me , " he went on. "I certainly
would like to be at home to-night. "
"Oh yes ! " she returned pleasantly.
"New York will of course be very
"
gay.
He stared at her in astonishment
"Why , how did you know I was
from New York ? " he demanded.
She hated to tell him all the rea-
I .
sons , so she merely laughed and ask
ed , "Who wouldn't ? " leaving him to
the inevitable conclusion that there is
something individual and differentiat-
ed about the New Yorker which even
an unsophisticated Kansas City girl
instinctively recognizes. And she said
not a word about the Hebraic physiog
nomy , the ostentatious silk : lining , the
conspicuous little finger ring , the ex
uberant luggage or the typically pro
prietary manner which betrayed him
as one of those favored of the gods
who know their Broadway as you
know your back yard.
TIic Inquisitive Antelope.
An antelope is as curious as a wom-
an. If the hunter will lie down in the
grass and wave a red handkerchief a
band of antelopes will keep circling
around until within reasonable ! dis-
tance for a safe shot. After complet-
ing a circle the antelopes halt sud-
denly and bring down one fore foot
with a vigorous stamp on the grour/4 : . ,
and at the same instant they make a
sort of snort that sounds like a half
whistle. That is the propitious mo-
ment for peppering them with rifle
bails.
The Last Straw.
An attendant at a Kansas institute
for the deaf and dumb was undergoing
a pointless rapid fire inquisition at
the hands of a female visitor.
"But how do you summon these
poor mutes to church ? " she asked
finally , with what was meant to be a
pitying glance at the inmates near
by. . ,
"By ringing the dumbbells , madam , "
retorted the exasperated attendant.
Judge.
A Curious Royal Custom.
When any Spanish sovereign dies
the body is at once submitted to the
process of fossilization , nor can it be
placed in the royal pantheon until the
body has been absolutely turned into
stone. Curiously enough the period
required for fossilization varies con-
siderably. Some royal bodies have
become solidified in a very short pe-
riod , while others have taken years be-
fore the fossilization took place.
t
She Had the Price.
In vain they told the heiress that
the duke was an impostor and worse.
"Why " said a friend "I have read
there is a price upon his head. " But
the heiress all serene only answered :
"I have the price-Young's ! Mag
azine.
Leisure will always be found by per
sons who know how to employ their
time ; those who want time are the
people who do nothicg. Mme. Ro

CURB WASTE OF WOOD
u. S. Experts Will Aid Work of
Forest Products Laboratory
at Madison , V/is.
0 :
HEADY' FOR OPEMNG JUNE 4
State Pays for Construction and
Maintenance and Government
Supplies the Equipment.
Completion of the forest products
laboratory at Madison , Wis. , which was
established for the purpose of lessen-
ing , through experiments and demon-
stration the waste in the manufacture
and use of wood , is an event of impor-
tance to the wood-using industries and
the engineers of the country. Accord-
ing to a Washington correspondent of
.
the Chicago News , the laboratory , a co-
operative undertaking between the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and the United
States Department of Agriculture , has
received the hearty approbation of the
lumber-manufacturing and wood-using
interests generaNy.
The new building at the university
has been erected by the State , which
also will furnish light , heat and power ,
while the United States Department of
Agriculture will supply the equipment
and apparatus and will maintain a
force of thirty-five or forty experts
to carry on the work. The laboratory
will b'e prepared to make tests on the
strength and other properties of wood ,
to investigate the processes of treating
timber to prevent destruction by de
cay'and other causes , to study the sav-
ing of wood refuses by distillation
processes , to examine the fiber of va -
rious woods for paper and other pur-
poses and to determine the influence
of the miscroscopic structure of wood
on its characteristics and properties.
RECREATION OF EOCKEFELLEK.
Invites His Neighbors and Friends
to Take Delightful Rides.
The numerous friends and neighbors
of John D. Rockefeller in the little
city of Tarrytown , N. Y. , are frequent
ly treated to carriage and auto rides
by the noted multi-millionaire. It is i
one of his favorite recreations to in
this way give pleasure to those about
him and he has thereby greatly popu
larized himself among the residents , 011
his home town. Not a pleasant day I
- I
goes by without the world's richest I
man inviting some of them men , wom I
en and children to ride with him , and
it is safe to say that the invitations
are seldom declined , for his vehicles
are the best to , be had and the drives
around Tarrytown are beautiful.
Before starting for a ride Mr. Rocke-
feller always dons a paper vest declar
ing it to be a great protection against
colds and he insists that his guests
do the same. After the ride he refuses
to take back the garment , and conse
quently in nearly every home in Tar
rytown may be found a paper vest pre-
served as a souvenir of a delightful
ride with the great oil king.
DR. HYDE CONVICTED.
,
Jury at Kansas City Finds Physic-
ian Guilty of Murder. .
.
Dr. B. C. Hyde was found guilty in
Kansas City of murder in first degree
and his punishment was fixed at life
imprisonment. That he poisoned his
wife's uncle , Col. Thomas H. Swope ,
the Kansas City millionaire , was the
verdict reached by the jury after three
nights and two days of deliberation. .
"I will file a motion for a new trial
and then take an appeal in the case , "
said Frank P. Walsh , chief counsel for
Dr. Hyde. The verdict came unex-
pectedly. Every attorney in the case
had given up hope that the jury , which
had been out for sixty hours , would
come to an agreement.
There was a gasp from the crowd in
the court room when the word "guilty"
fell from the lips of the foreman of
the jury , and Dr. Hyde , with clenched
fists , and his iips tightly pressed
against each other and his eyes ; star-
ing widly , rose from his seat. His wife
broke down instantly and sobbed.
Dr. Hyde's attorneys gathered around
him and comforted his wife while he
stood looking straight before him with
an utterly hopeless expression. He
turned to his wife , and seeing her face
buried in her arms , her body shaken
with sobs , he shook his sadly and whis-
pered mechanically : "Life imprison-
ment.
35 CONVICTS BURN : TO DEATH.
Attempt of One Prisoner to Escape
Costs Lives of 3Iany.
Thirty-six negro convicts lost their
lives when the stockade of the Red
Feather Coal Company at Lucile
mines Bibb County , about fifteen miles
north of Centerville , Ala. , was de
stroyed by a fire set by one of the pris-
oners in an effort to gain his freedom.
Thirty-five of the convicts including
the one who started the blaze were
burned to death and another was fa
tally shot by the guards while trying
lo escape. It was with much difficulty
that the remaining convicts in the
stockade were prevented from eluding
the guards. The financial loss will
reach several thousand dollars.

upon the stillness.
The tooting of fish horns , the beat- ,
ing : of tin pans and the ringing : of
cow bells could be distinguished clear-
ly , while agonizing screeches from un-
identified instruments and the diaboli
.
cal noise produced by drawing a scant-
ling across one edge of a dry goods
box contributed their share to the vol-
ume of sound.

Japanese Test of Jlndnca
On Monday at the Tokio Appeal
Court , before Judge Miyamoto , a far
r
mer named Gisei Haseba 26 years old
convicted of murdering his parents-in- / " .
law and severely injuring his wife at , /
Osato-gori , Saitama prefecture " 11
1908 , appealed from the judgment o
the Urama local court , where he was
sentenced to penal servitude for life.
Since Aipril last year during the
public trial of the accused , he has not
uttered a single word the Japan Ad-
vocate says. This attitude led the
judge and the public prosecutor to
conclude that he feigned madness as
a last resort hoping to get released.
He was medically examined by Dr.
Kure and Dr. : Miyake and in this ex-
amination Dr. Miyake : adopted a sin-
gular method.
There is a belief that the blood of
a venomous snake is soluble with that
of an ordinary man but not with that
of a madman. The doctor appied this
principle to the examination of the
suspected lunatic , and sure enough
the blood of a venomous snake did not
dissolve in the blood of the accused.
Thus the doctor concluded that he was
really mad.
The other doctor also gave evidence
about the lunacy of the defendant. The
judge ordered that the trial should be
postponed until the accused was recov-
ered from his abnormal condition.
