2 tfk': Mr. tLi, '3 if- 5 XT dial I The Trail of the Dead THE STRANGE EXPERIENCE OF DR. ROBERT HARLAND By B. FLETCHER ROBINSON and J. MALCOLM ERASER (Copyright, 1903, by Joseph B. Bowles) Oil AFTER III. In two strides my cousin was on the steep and narrow stairs. For a man of his age and alio be mounted them with a surprising activity. Indeed, when I gained the lauding ho was already standing at the door of tho room. lie held up his hand with a warning ges ture. I stepped up to him softly and peeped over his shoulder. By the side of an old sofa placed against the wall of a room, half bed chamber, half study, Professor Marnac crouched on his hands and knees. A lamp stood on the floor at his elbow. lie was working with feverish haste, yet with a certain method, niovlug the lamp onward as his examination of the section lit by Its immediate rays was completed. It was an odd sight, this silver-haired figure- that crept about, peeping and peering, like some species of elderly ape. So absorbed was he that it was nigh on a minute before, with a swift sideways turn of the head, he caught sight of our faces in tho doorway and rose to his feet. "I can find no trace of it." said he, smoothing back- his hair with aBigh. "It Is excessively annoying." "Of what, may I ask, sir?" I queried. "Of my signet ring. Mr. Harland. A valued possession which I would not lose for fifty ponnds." "Pray let me assist you," said I, step ping forward and raising the lamp, which the professor had replaced on the table. "Xo, no, Mr. Harland. Enough has been done; in the presence of death we must forget such trivialities. Besides, although it was on my finger when I entered the house, it may have been dropped in the hall or on tho stairs. I do not doubt that Hans will find it." The professor spoke in so resolute a fashion that politeness did not demand that I should press the matter. My cousin had already passed behind a great screen of stamped leather that cut off the bed from the rest of the apartment. Marnac had stepped after him, and I, though at a slower pace, followed them. To be honest, the events of the evening had disturbed me not a little. I had grown suspicious, uneasy; and this an noyed me in that I was without reason able cause for such a frame of mind. CJranted that the professor had dis played oddities of demeanor, yet he was notoriously an eccentric And if my cousin han become taciturn, if his po liteness rang insincerely, the death of his old friend "Stand back, Ilerr professor! stand back, I say!" It was Graden's voice, stern and de cisive. 1 sprang to the corner of the screen and peered into the darkened alcove beyond. Upon his death-bed pillows the calm and simple face of poor Von Stockmar gleamed like a mask carved in white marble. But neither of the two men who confronted each other across the body looked upon it. Graden, a grim and resolute figure, stood holding a common wooden match-box in his huge hands. He had opened it carelessly, for cheap sul phur matches were scattered on the sheet before him. Marnac'a face I could not see, but In the pose of his back and shoulders there was something feline something suggestive of an animal about to spring. For a second or two the three of us stood in silence. .y cousin was the first to break it. "Pray do cot let us detain you, Pro fessor Marnac," said he. "Should we chance upon your ring, believe me, it will be safe." The professor straightened himself with a little gesture of submission and stepped back Into the lamplight. HiB hand was on the latch, when be tnrned upon us for we had followed him with a face deformed with the most ma lignant fury. "Au revoir, my friende," he cried. "I wish you a pleasant evening." And then afit of laughter took him smothered, diaoolical merriment that broke out in oily chuckles like water gurgling from a bottle. Tho door closed upon it. We stood listening as it grew fainter, fainter, until it died away In Bllence on the lower stairs. "Turn the key, Cousin Robert. But no; after him, lad, and bolt him out of tho house, lieu be burning it down, else." Graden was inexplicable; but I ran to obey. As I reached the ball, I heard the clang of the street door, ana tne squeak' log of the bolts as Hans shot them be hind tho departing visitor. When I re-entered the room I found the screen pushed back against the wall, and my cousin, in bis snlrt-sleeves, lean ine over the bed. He barked at me over his shoulder to sit down and keep quiet, and I humbly obeyed him. Once or twice he turned to tho lamp wnlch be bad at his elbow, and I caught a glimpse of a magnifying glass. Presently he rose, and, carrying the lamp in his hand, rommenced a circuit oi me room, uu gerlng-now and again to examine some object. At tbo dressing-taoie no paused for several minutes, using the magnify ini? elass repeatedly. But shortly after wards he threw himself into a chair be side me with the air of a man whoso work is done. '.'It's no uisrespect to our little Her mann that I mean," said he, pulling out a big briar, "but smoke I must" He sat there pulling for a minute or two, bis head sunk forward, his eyes on tho floor. I watched him expectantly, "It's a great gift, Is observation," he began. "It makes just the difference between mediocrity and success in game liunters and novel-writers, In painters of picture and explorers of the unknown lands, where a man has never a map to help him. And this same trick of ob MrvatloB has given me some very re puirkabia results this evening; and how remarkable you will realize when I set thaw out la proper order. You're a logical head, Cousin Robert, and I want you to give me your fullest attention. Geatradlct we If I overstate the case. "Fact the first: That a certain cele brated scientist, Rudolf Marnac, had an 111 feeling a very ill and evil feeling towards a certain brother-professor, one Hermann Von otockmar. Fact the scv- ond: That Von Stockmar died sudden ly." "Of a natural cause, as certified by a competent, physician," I added quickly. "Exactly. Fact the third: Marnac, who considers you a deserter to the Stockmar camp as, indeed, I gather from your own story appears In your rooms to inform you of the sudden death of his enemy. Now, why should he do that?" "He Is an eccentric. A sudden whim, perhaps. We were very intimate once, you must remember." "Though hardly so now, from his man ner of regarding you when he first an nounced himself this evening." "He might have caught what we were saying. Listeners hear uo good of themselves, but that does not tend to im prove their tempers." "Well, let that pass. It brings us to fact number four: He tells a deliberate lie." "A Ho! But when?" "The man was worth studying. When I first saw him this evening, I ran my pye over him. I especially noticed his hands their suppleness, their delicate color, their lone Drehenslle fingers. I do' not doubt that he is very proud of them. Ho wore no ring It is not the custom of thoso who deal with germs to so adorn themselves. What was he looking for so anxiously in this room, if it were not a ring? A uy did ho leave us in the hail that he might conduct this search before our presence disturbed himr "I cannot suggest an explanation; bnt really, Cousin Graden, you seem to be weaving a most unnecessary tangle. I cannot imagine what result you expect to obtain." "A conviction for murder.' CHAPTER IV. ; I stared at him in the most pro found amazement. "Yes, murder. Cousin Robert; as de liberate and cold-blooded a doing to death of an innocent man as has ever befouled a corner oi God's fair world." He rose from s chair and plowed heavily up and down the room. The veins started in his forehead; his huge hands knotted tnemselves tensely. "Listen. This afternoon a man lay asleep on that conch in the corner. e know the manner of man a keen in vestigator, an indefatigable worker, an honest fighter; but one who had never done in ail bis life a mean or ignoble action. There comes a creak upon the stairs, the door Is opened softly, a head peers in. He the murderer enters tne room. He knew the custom of the bouse in this warm September weather: the doors open, the old servant asleep, the master taking his regular siesta, How far is he a criminal, how far a luna tic? Is this act premeditated, or the sudden tempting of opportunity? Who can say? It Is enongh that in bis dis eased imagination be has come to regard the sleeper as an enemy who maliciously set himself to destroy his theories and to bring ridicule on the laborious work of years. His desire for revenge is con centrated on the man before him. "How the 'things came Into bis pos session I cannot guess, though that should be a point easily discovered. He himself may have obtained it from Af rica, or it may have come into his hands by chance, as the chief of the Entomo logical Museum. But he has it safe enough shut up in the tin box which fell from his pocket In your rooms. Tho spring of the lid was defective, you may remember; it is that same defective spring that will hang him. "He stands over there, listening and watching. There is no sound; the sleeper will not wake. He opens the case upon the dressing-table and lifts the 'thing' with tweezers for every hair of It has its poison. With scissors he cuts off some score of hairs, catching them in the crease of a folded sheet of note paper. He replaces it in the case and closes the lid. Like an ugly shadow he flits across to the couch, kneels by its side, and one, two, three times blows the hairs from tho creased paper across the Intake of the sleeper's breath. He turns, snatches up the case from the table, and is gone. In five hours Profes sor Von Stockmar Is dead of inflamma tion of the lungs. There Is not a doc tor In all Germany who would chal lenge that diagnosis. In nine hours Pro fessor Rudolf Marnac Is accused by me, Henry Graden, of murder." "But this deadly 'thing'!" I cried, with a sinking horror at my heart. "This beast, reptile, insect what is It7 Where Is it now?" For answer ho thrust his fingers into his pocket and drew out the same wooden match-box that I had seen blm with by tbo bedside of tho dead man. He slid it half open and tapped It sideways on tho table under the lamp. A round, fluffy ball rolled out and lay motionless. Suddenly a little black head protruded, a score of tiny feet paddled into motion, and across the table thero crept a hairy caterpillar a loathsome, disreputable object, for across Its back lay a ragged scar, where tho hairs bad been shorn away. "Do you recognize the species?" In a faint-hearted way I leaned across to grasp it, but with a sudden motion be brushed my band aside. "I see you do not," said he grimly. "It is common enough in South Africa." With the end of a match ho carefully pushed tho Insect back Into the box, and replaced it in his pocket. "The luck was against Marnac," be continued, "Not for one moment do J suggest that otherwise I should liayo bus pected the truth. To begin with, the de fective spring of tho case allowed the caterpillar to escape while be was bend Ine over poor Hermann. After he had done his awfjl work he slipped it back .

One of the achievements of modern poultixkeeplng Is thnt of forcing n hen to doff her old coat, and grow a new one before the time when she would do so naturally. Many hens shed tliel feathers so late In the season, natural ly, that cold weather overtnkes them before they get now suits, consequently they seldom begin laying before spring If the moult can be hastened so that a new coat of feathers Is grown and tho laying can be started before cold weather, the prospect Is good for supply of eggs during fall nnd winter. The result Is usunlly accomplished by cutting off all meat and mash foods, putting the hens on short rations of grain for a week or so to stop tho lay Ing, then allow moro liberty and feed a full ration high In protein. This loosens the old feathers, which drop off quickly and starts a rapid growth of the now. A liberal allowance of beef scrap essential, nnd Unseed men! Is nn ndvun tnge.

Furthermore, lielng already equlpied with tho ma chlnery, they will, no doubt, bo nblo to manufacture the alcohol very cheaply.
