CHAPTER XVI. (Continued.)
One bit bt documentary evidence
ttiat materialized In the Hackleyo home
at Cairo was bruited about in all the
papers.
On the fly leaf of a French Bible, in
a woman's hand an odd hand with
peculiarly forcible strokes were these
entries:
"Married January 10, 1899, Cerlsse
Corella Wayne,, daughter of Deslree
and John Francis Wayne, and Ham
leye Hackleye, third son of Sir Walter
and Lady Evelyn Hackleye.
"Born, November 1st, 1900, to Ce
rlsse Corella Wayne Hackleye and
Hamleye Hackleye, a son, Walter
Hamleye Hackleye.
"Born, October 15, 1901, to Cerlsse
Corella Wayne Hackleye and Hamleye
Hackleye, a daughter, Paula Cerlsse
Hackleye."
Gradually thero became fixed more
securely the public idea that Hackleye
had murdered his wife. And the grow
ing Impression was that Hackleye and
Harcourt were one and the 'same, but
the most inexplicable of all was the
dual resemblance between the two
women, but at that the Man-Aperil-la
puzzled.
Mark Flanders, the old attorney from
whom Hackleye had rented the house
at 94 Brlarsweet place, was so upset
by the sensation in which the staid old
home was figuring that he nearly went
wild. As it was. he cut short his Eu
ropean trip, and came home in a Jiffy
to see that the beloved old homestead
was not whittled to bits by enterpris
ing sleuths who were seeking further
for secret passages and subterranean
ways.
Mrs. Oesterle died early in the fall
and her heart-broken husband took
their accumulated savings and went
home to Paris. Harold Harcourt was
still stifling behind the bars of the
jail. The British government did not
come and lead him out of captivity.
Harcourt's wife was slowly getting:
better in the hospital to which they
had removed her. There had been
shocking days of ravings so extraordi
nary that the nurses had stood abash
ed at the horrors revealed; there had
been times when Mrs. Harcourt's.
strength outranked that of even the
strongest attendants, and in her vio
lence she had essayed to kill herself,
but oftenest she was weak as a sick
kitten, and lay inert and helpless on
her narrow bed, moaning as if within
her slender frame fermented the an
guish of the world. Philip Hartley
came daily to see her. His quiet pres
ence always had a calming effect upon
the sick woman, and she seemed to
recognize him. Philip called first be
cause the paper sent him. and yet. as
the months drifted by and the Wayne
murder mystery was relegated grad
ually from a first to a second, and then
to a fourth and even to a fifth page
place in the paper, he went because
he wanted to. not confessing to him
self why. Ho couldn't have told. He
couldn't resist the emotion that drew
him to the sick woman.
The most expert doctors were called
in attendance. Mrs. Harcourt's condi
tion was most ba tiling. One day there
drifted In an aunt of the interne, a
gray-haired doctor who had done mis
sionary work in India for thirty-five
years. The interne discussed the case
with his aunt, and took her around to
see the patient. The old doctor Fo'th
ergill was her name examined the
young woman closely.
"I think. John," she said, after she
had looked at Mrs. Harcourt, accord
ing to the prescribed ritual for medici
nal Inspection, "that the poor little
thing has been drugged to death. They
do these things beneath the tropic suns
very frequently. There are weird drugs
put to queer purposes over there.
Where they stop at murder, even by
slow poison, death In life Is no more
than a convenience to them if they so
desire. I think she's drug-sick. Give
her light food, stimulants, and plenty
of morphine. It's the best reagent I've
found for those Indiscriminate drugs
that grow over there. Also a powder
I'll bring you."
The interne quoted his aunt to the
attending physicians. And because of
the fame of Dr. Fotherglll, which had
traveled even across the broad seas
and the line of sex. they listened to
what she said. They followed Dr.
Fothergill's advice and slowly but sure
ly Mrs. Harcourt began to Improve.
One day she roused from her stupor,
sat up and looked at her nurses.
"I do not remember," she stammer
ed. "I cannot remember, and I'm
glad, for the hurt has all gone from
here."
As she spoke she pressed one hand
to her heart, and the other to her head,
There Philip Hartley found her when
he came an hour later. He had a glow
ing bunch of asters for her lavenders,
whites, soft pinks and ashes of roses.
"Sweet flowers with their colors
burned away," she murmured as she
reached out for them. There was the
same Innocent friendliness between
these two pure-souled ones as there
might havo been between two sera
phlms. "Your flowers of fhe north coun
tries seem so pale and yet so pure,"
slip contlnuew, as she burled her face
within the shaggy petals. "But they
have no perfumes "
"Ah, yes, they have," denied Hart
ley. "We havo rose gnrdens here, too.
and violet beds In springtime, and car
nations in June, when the oaeB are
sweet; and mignonette, and flowering
lmond. syrlnga, and sweet alvssum
w have our perfumes, too, my lady,
But they're not musk-laden like your
feverish India."
"Feverish India," mused Mrs. Har
court "I wonder if it Is sol I am so
much better to-day. I can't remember
anything; it's all a dim, gray waste in
my head, but It doesn't hurt any more,
and I'm so glad. My husband where
is he?"
It was the first time she had asked
about Harcourt Hartley hesitated.
He did not know whether to break the
blessed peace that surrounded her. He
did not know what to tell her. Final
ly he-decided to telPthe truth a rash
thing always.
"Why, Miss Lancey disappeared, you
know; or do you remember the young
girl who went to your room that night.
And the police of course it's foolish of
them, but the police, you know, think
he may know something about her dis
appearance, and they're holding him
till they And her." '
"Is he In Jail?" asked Mrs. Har
court "Why. yes." admitted Philip, "but
they've made him very comfortable.
Tou can be comfortable even in Jail,
you know. He doesn't seem to be
minding It much.'
"Sometimes I have thought of late
I don't know, but theye seems to oe
a shadow between my husband and
me. What Is it? I know and yet I
cannot tell. Answer me, are there two
Me's? Else why have I seen myself
walking in the garden when I was
sick, so sick, and in my bed? Why
havo I seen myself beneath the trees
caressing my husband when I was In
the house with my baby on my knee?
What is it? And why? I cannot un
derstand at all!"
Philip tried to soothe her. He fear
ed she had overtaxed herself and
blamed himself. He rose to go, but she
detained him.
"No, don't!" she pleaded. "You rest
me. Just like the1 cool water does a
weary throat My throat doesn't burn
any more like it used to. I wonder
why. They don't give me so much
medicine here any more. Harold used
to give it to me all the time. My head
feels so much lighter than it did as If
It would blow away."
Dr. Fotherglll had come in the room
while Mrs. Harcourt was speaking. 'At
the last words a triumphant look
flashed across the physician's face, and
her Hps formed the words, "I told you
so."
"I don't believe I ever want to' go
back to India." continued Mrs. Har
court. absently following the patterns
in the celling. "I feel so different here.
As if it were another life. And you,
dear friend, you have been so kind. I
love your visits so. Yon must come
oftener."
Philip blushed under' her unconven
tionality. He was well aware that
even under the guise of newspaper de
mands that a penniless $30-a-week re
porter had no right to call too fre
quently upon the wife of an East In
dian magnate, herself possessed of a
large fortune. Partlculahly when this
said wife was a young, lovely and
seemingly unfortunate woman.
He made his adieux confusedly. Dr.
Fotherglll followed him out Into the
hall. "You must, as she says, come
oftener," the doctor Insisted, with the
emphasis of all gray-haired women.
"She never speaks of herself except
when you are here. It Is tho only way
to clear this thing up. Mind what I
say. And matters are muddled badly
enough now. .goodness knows. What
with two young Idiots Mr. Mor
ris and Mr. Johnson both heading for
Africa on a wild goose chase, Mrs.
Desterle's death, and the disappear
ance of Miss Lancey, there has been
far too much woe and ruin accumulat
ed at the feet df one murder. A fine
set of police they have here, I must
say. Come to-morrow, young man,
come to-morrow."
And Philip needed but little urging.
His sentiments for the woman who was
so slowly convalescing were far too
tender to suit his reason, when he
stopped to use It But Philip was
young, and youth Is evor irrational, so
he counted each hour with Mrs. Har
court as rarer than the gems that fas
tened her hair, or her soft lounging
robes of wonderful texture and color
ing. He read to her, he played that
old Indian game, parchcsl, with her.
and one day proposed a game of cards,
but the sight of the pasteboards turn
ed her faint, and she suffered a sink
ing spell that put her recovery back
for weeks.
CHAPTER XVII.
Meta and Benoni made ready the re
past Betty and Larry and Johnny
traded experiences.
"Think, Betty, think hard," urged
Larry, "what was It that stole you
that night, or who, and why?"
"Tell me tho whole story again,"
mused the perplexed Betty. "My brain
has slipped a revolution."
So the boys recounted to her the
night in tho Directory Hotel. As they
proceeded Betty'B eyes widened, her
face paled, and In her eagerness she
paced the floor excitedly.
"Oh, yea, yes, I remember now," she
said. "I went Into her room what do
you say her name Js Mrs. Harcourt?
Yes! Well, 1 went In there and I pre
tended I was 111. And then she tele
phoned to the clerk and begged him to
send up and get me, and then I ran,
ran as fast us I could, and at the cor
nerand then well, I bumped Into
something soft and furry, and and
don't laugh, but it smelt and felt the
same as that horrid, horrid beast the
Man-Aperllla, you know! And' I don't
know any moro except belnir stcX. m
I told you, and waking up on berd
that yacht, and getting horel"
"Now, who could that Lo Malhou
reux havo been?" asked Larry, "and
why did they wau to steal you?"
"Maybe it was Benoni," suggested
Johnny. Ho took us to her, maybo ho
brought her here."
"Oh, Benoni 1" called Larry, "did you
steal this girl?"
Benoni clinched his hands at the
suggestion. "I steal hor?" ho rased,
"And I with a wlfol"
"Nonsense," said Betty. "Ho docs
not talk llko Lo Malheureux, and well
I don't feel tho repulsion for him I
had for Le Malmourcux. 1 don't know
what it was, I can't explain it I shlv"
er still!
"Perhaps It was Man-Aperllla who
stolo you, Betty," volunteered Johnny.
"You remember you went out to tho
park for the Inquirer with a photo
grapher to get the brute's "picture.
Have you forgotten? Perhaps he fell
In lovo with your charniB, and stole
you to make you his bride, like Larry
hero is going to do."
"Ho might have stolon me," admit
ted Betty, "but Johnny, don't bo non
sensical!" "About what?" asked Johnny.
"About Larry marrying you? A man
doesn't risk his fool neck like Larry's
done for you if he Isn't going to marry
tho woman at tho end of tho risk."
"Well, but you did If retorted Bet
ty. "I know, but I had a wife to start
out with, and felt I ought to get Larry
tied up, too. Besides, I think it will
be a Joke to assist at the wedding. Oh,
I know Larry hasn't asked you yet, but
then he's afraid to. He's planning to
Just carry you off."
"I'm going to draw the line at be
ing abducted twice, till I get a prodi
gal's return on the strength of the
first kidnaping," laughed Betty. "Do
you supposo that tho Man-Aperllla
could have stolen mo? And If so, why?
I'd like to find Le Malheureux. perhaps
he'd tell me. Tho why of things as
they are Is troubling me."
"We're going to find Le Malheureux
right now," said Meta. "If we don't
we'll never And ourselves again. We
must make haste out of here. Miss
Lancey."
"Oh, call me Bettlsta, llko you havo
done," begged Betty, mimicking the
name Meta had given her In the days
of their broken dialect "I like It bet
ter." "Anything, only make haste." cau
tioned Benoni. "We cannot take you
women where we men have gone.
Time Is life Just now."
Meta aided Betty to don some heavy
wraps of panther skin, brought her
stockings and the dancing slippers, o
economically used because they were
the only shoes the American girl pos
sessed and her feet were not Inured to
the hard ground and cold stones like
Meta's. Benoni had stowed some pro
visions In a leather wallet and Meta
carried a similar bag heavy and hard.
"What have you there, my wife?"
questioned the black.
"A few of tho Jewels." she answered.
"I thought we might need them. No.
there are not many left"
They were an odd cavalcade. Be
noni was at the head of the proces
sion, then Johnny, close behind him.
Betty, with City Editor Burton tug
ging at a leash, then Larry, and last
of all Meta. Each of the -men carried
a pistol, and Metu had put a tiny re
volver Into Betty's hand. They went
down the steps, retracing their way
along the same corridors down which
Tyoga had brought Betty so many
weeks before. In the lower passage
three pigeons flew out and rested on
Betty's shoulder, hovering there an In
stant then darting away, up towarda
the rain-gray sky.
The boat that awaited them was c
smaller model of the yacht that had
borne Betty acrpsa seas, and of less
elaborate construction. Benoni dlsap
peared below deck to a location similar
to the one where Le Malheureux had
been wont to station himself. Betty,
looking backward through the arch
way. saw to her surprise hundreds f
stalwart negroes embarking from a
fleet of boats that had suddenly ap
peared upon the swollen bosom of tho
river. She started to cry out, but
Meta's hands closed over her mouth,
The yacht ducked Its nose to the water
and went spinning along the tunnel.
"Benoni, Benoni," called Meta, when
they had gone a distance of several
rods. "They have come! They are
thero! I must help him," she added to
the Americans, and followed her hus
band below stairs.

GRASSHOPPERS ON WAY.
Swarms of Black Insects are Devour
ing Crops in Manitoba.
Gretna, Manitoba The black grass
hopper, or black locust, the greatest
pest that has ever attacked the crops
of Manitoba and the Northern states,
has arrived in swarms, and the injur
ious insects are headed north, having
come from Dakota, where they have
already done great damage to the grain
crops and the gardens.
The black grasshoppers are to be
seen in great numbers and are attack
ing gardens, showing a special fond
ness for cabbage. Where they do not
find succulent garden forage, they at
tack the standing grain and strip the
straw bare In an incredibly short time.
"Tim" O'Brien, tho veteran customs
collector at Neche, N. D., recalls that
in the years 1871 to 1874 the black
grasshopper was a terrible pest, strip
ping the whole country bare, and
eating the bark off the poplar trees
when they had cleaned everything else
green off the face of the earth. They
came suddenly after a long dry spell in
1871 and at times were in bucIi swarms
that their flight obscured the light of
the sun.
In 1874, after doing tremendous
damage, they disappeared as suddenly
as they had come.
