    WILLAMETTE FARMER: SALEM, OREGON, APRIL IS, 1887
MISS BROWN.
By A AuUur of "Society's Verdict?
"My Marriage? etc
"When I dlo now, the noxt heir will
step In." Mr. Itertrand says tho words
with a Rtnile; beside him stands Ailcou.
with pale chcoks and parted lips, and
and on tho hearth amouldorB a sheet of
paper. "1'oor LMckl Well, ho will bo
rich without it, and my heart yearns
over Rowland's boy."
Tho destruction of her grandfather's
will Ailcou watches with inhiglod foel
Injra half pleasuro, half pain. Onco or
twice she is tempted to tell who slio is,
and then she thinks ncnln It will bo
wiser not. Dick well, alio nocd never
meet him agulnl ltowly will bo happy;
but slio sho will novor set foot in tho
Court again as long as sho lives. Let
Dick think of her always as Miss
Urown; ho need novcr know any more.
Old Mr. Itertrand however Is qulto
cheerful.
"It Is a load off my mind," ho says
ploasantly. "I often felt I had boon
liard on Rowland; but I never know' ho
had a son; and. my dear, I like to
think that one or tho old name, ono of
my own llesh and blood will reign hero
when I am gouo."
Alleeu Hays nothing, but starco
through heavy unshed tears at tho
smouldering embers that tell that Dick
JL'onsouby's heritage had been taken
uway from him.
"My dear, will you ploaso take my
keys and op.'ii that cupboard? You
will II ml a roll of notes there; hand
them to mo."
Alleeu ohoys, and the old man lays
tho money In her hands.
"That is out) hundred pounds. My
grandson n mother must not remain in
poverty any longer."
Tho blood rushes to Alleen's fore
hoad. For a moment sho Is tempted to
cry out that sho cannot tako tho money.
Thon, with n gasp, sho remembers her
part-that sho Is only Miss Urown, tho
Iiospltal'nurso. Tho little drama is not
qulto playod out yet.
"You aro very kind, Mr. Itertrand.
Shall I tako this money, anil glvo it
myself from you to Rowly's mother?"
'Yes, my dear, that will bo best. And
now leavo mo. "Good night. I havo
much to think over. Tell Dick not to
disturb mo ho need not know of this"
pointing to tho ashes on tho hearth
'and I will ring for Hartnell when I
want him."
"Good night, Mr. Rertrand." Alloon
answers quietly, and leaves tho room,
llttlo thinking tiiat this is tho last time
nho will over hear tho old man's volco.
It Is lato nearly eleven o'clock. Just
outsldo tho library door sho meets Dick.
In her .hands 'sho carries tho roll of
notes, and, with a sudden air of con
fusion, she smuggles them into her
"Her pay as mirso, I supposo," Dick
thinks. "The old man must havo paid
licr uncommonly well."
Homo of tho notes fall noon tho floor.
Dick picks thorn up and hands them
back to her. Alleeu Is In a panic; her
hands aro shaking, her faco Is very
palo and wild.
"Good-byo," sho says Hiiddonlv. "I
am going early tomorrow; and forglvo
mo if you can." ,
"I havo nothing to forglvo." Dick an
swots, now nearly as agitated as her
self. "You could not help loving him
best."
8ho looks at him blankly, and then
her faco grows cold and hard.
"Jlotter let him think so," sho says to
herself "bettor lot him think anything
than know I am nn Impostor."
"Is my grandfather awako still?"
Dick asks, after a brief pause
Miss Urown appoars to havo taken
loavo of her souses, for ho can only
mako out from her tremulous words
that Mr. Itertrand Is not to bo dis
turbed anv moro to-night, that ho told
her to toll him so, and that ho would
ring for Hartnell when ho wautod him.
"All rlghtl" Good night, Miss
Urowu."
Whothor Mr. Itertrand evor rings
for Hartnoll no ono over knows, In
tho early winter morning a woman's
shrieks echo through and through tho
house, feet lly hither and thither,
scream follows scream; whlto-faccd
Kervaiits gather round tho cold lifeless
body of tho master of tho house, who
lias neon murdered, they see, by tho
blood that Hows from his sitlu on to tho
floor.
Dick roiisouby, Hhocked and horri
fied, sends olT for doctors and iwllro,
and Haituell obeys his orders with
alacrity. , ,
"I)ok hero, slrl" ho says, jwlntlng to
tho open eserltolie. "It looks like rob
bery, Mr. Ponsonbyl"
And through them all comes Alleeu,
palo and horror-stricken, Dead mur
dered tho kind old man whom sho
had left alivo and well last nlghtl Slio
is inexpressibly grieved and shocked,
and looks with tears rolling down her
cheeks, at the dead faco. Who could
have done It? Who could havo commit
ted the base deed?
"He never rang for mo at all," do
olares Haituell solemnly. "I met Miss
Urown at eleven o'clock, and sho told
mo my master would ring when he re
quited me: and, us I had never heard
the bell, I thought Mr. l'onsonby hail
seen him to his loom."
It is evident that Miss Urown was
tho last person who saw the old man
alive. That tho murder was committed
for lohbeiy Is plain, tor, alter tho deed
was done, tho safe, writing-desk, and
various private draueis had been
opened with Mr. lteit rand's own keys,
uud money and valuables taken; and,
worse than all, the collection ot family
diamonds.
"It, must havo been tho work of n
professional," Dick I'onsonby declares,
In conclave with the imllco-otllccr.
Hut on further examination it looks
as If the murder w at committed by
some ouo in the house, for there Is no
mink of any one having gouu out
by door or window, And tho horrible
ni) story deepens; for all tho servants
aro old, tried, mid talthlul retainers.
Tho dead body of tho Into master Ij
laid In his own ied, grim and ghastly,
to await an liiquow When tney aio
lifting him, they Uud a torn morsel of
cambuo lu his clenched lingers a
shred of a pocktn-Wamlkrr hi if; there
aro two letters maiked on ll "A. H.,"
entwined in a monogram.
Miss Urown recognizes tho morsel of
cambrlo as a portion of one of her pocket-handkerchiefs,
but breaks down In u
lit of nervousness its she acknowledges
tho fact. How It could havo got Into
tho dond man 'a hand and what hap
iieued to tho rest of tho handkerchief is
a mvsterv; ami there Is also no traeo cJ
tno weapon Dy wmen tno muraor was
committed. It must have boon a sharp
pointed knife, and tho blow must havo
jiiorced tho heart directly, producing
instantaneous death.
Dick I'onsonby Is sitting by himself,
very grlovcd, troubled, and pcrploxod.
when a knock comes to tho door, and
Hartnoll enters softly.
"I bog your pardon, sir," ho begins,
standing just Insldo tho door.
"Oomo In. Hartnoll. Havo you any
thing to tell mo?"
"Yos, sir, .something you ought to
know. Mary tho houso-maid, has just
found this, sir." ,
He holds out a pocket-handkorchlef
stained with blood and with ono cor
ner off.
"Whcro did sho got it-, Hartnoll?"
Tho man looks cautiously ovor his
shoulder and then whispers
"In Miss Rrown's room, sir under
tho mattress."
"How on earth could it havo got
thero?" ejaculated Dick, In Burprlso.
"Not unless it was put there, sir, and
that perhaps Miss Rrown can say. And,
further, sir, It would seem as if Miss
Rrowu was not Miss Rrown at all."
"What tho deuco do you mean?" cries
Dick, staring at tho man's faco, utter
ly bowlldered.
Hartnoll bears tho scrutiny In an Im
movable manner.
"Would It surprlso you. Mr. I'onson
by, to know that Miss Rrown Is your
cousin Miss Rertrand, and that sho
camo hero on purposo to mako tho mas
ter alter his will?''
"Good Heaven! Is It posslblo?"
Dick is vory human. Into his mind
leaps only ono thought that in that
caso this Rowland ho had been so jeal
ous of Is only Alleen's brother. Ho
other idea has crossed his mind as yet.
Hartnell proceeds with a cool deliber
ate manner.
"Yes, sir; sho Is no moro Miss Rrown
than I am, and I can provo it" taking
sevoral strips of paper out of his pockot.
"I had my suspicions, Mr. I'onsonby,
from ouo or two words sho lot fall.
This, sir, is a lottcr from her brothor
bIio mado It Into spills, but I pieced
them and this Is tho copy of what is
wrltton thero" producing a sheet of
paper and laying it botoro tho as
tonished Dick.
"My dearest Allccn A lino to say how
(IoIIkIiUmI I nm to know Hint you think tho
king will soon have his own again. Onco
tho will Is Uono nwav with, the old gcntlo
man may depart ns tuiilrienly as ho chooses
for nil 1 caru tho sooner the better, llo has
never done anything fur mo.
Your loving urothcr, "Kowlv."
Dick raises rather a storn palo faco
after reading tho letter copied lu Mr.
llartuell's cramped hand.
"Well?"
"Well, sir, would you bo surprised to
hear that tho ashes in tho library grata
aro tho remains of tho master's will?
Como and soo for yourself I"
With a confusod dread of something
terrible impending, Dick follows tho
man to the library and unlocks tho
door. Ho shudders as ho sees tho blood
upon tho carpet.
"There, slrl"
Dick looks. Yes; tho lire has not
qulto douo Its work. Amongst tho heap
of ashes llo some small charred por
tions of tho paper.
Dick gathers them, makes a packet
of them, seals It and lays It in n
drawer.
"Rut this proves nothing," ho says,
with a sudden trembling or tho volco.
Haituell's face is gray as ho comes a
step nearer.
"Mr. I'onsonby, are you blind, sir?
Was not sho the bust person hero last
night? Did she not tell you. did sho
not tell me. not to disturb him? Listen,
slrl" as Dick gives an incredulous
gasp of horror. "Could she not havo
como up behind tho poor old master,
so, ami lie dozing, and then afterwards
havo taken the keys and burned tho
will and taken tho money?"
"I won't bellovo Itl" cried Dick I'on
soiiby, with blanched faco, "Why, I
met iter leaving the rooml"
"And was slio calm as usual?"
And then Dick lemcmbers, with a
sudden awful horror, Alleen's confu
sion and agitation of last night, and
tho roll of money In her hand.
"Say nothing of nil thlsl" ho gasps.
"It could not bo It Is not true!"
A light of triumph gleams in Hart
noil's eyes.
"It Is too Into to keep It secret, sir.
Tho jmllco know all; I had to tell. It is
very sad, sir so young a lady; but It is
of no uso concealing It."
Dick I'onsonby goes away like a man
suddenly bereft of his reason. He hur
ries to see tho police-Inspector and tho
magistrate. Rut facts aro stubborn
things; and before nightfall a warrant
is issued for tho arrest of Miss Ailcen
Rertrand, alias Drown.
With eyes wild with horror. Alleen
faces Dick 1'ousonby, her hands hold
ing his as In a vice.
"They say I murdered him!" alio
cries, fn a volco choked with horror.
"Why. you know 1 didn't I couldn't!
Oh, Mr. Ponsonbv. tell mo It Is a mis
take!" Sho is shaking and shivering
in a paroxysm of fear.
"It will bo all right; don't bo fright
ened," he says, trying to speak bravely.
"It is all some iionlblo mistake; it is
all because they have found out you
are not Miss Rrown, but Alleeu Rer
trand." Her scared eyes look up Into his.
"1 know," slio whispers "it was all
for ltowly. 1 thought I would ier
suado grandpapa to leave the place to
uowiy; ami nisi uigui caicnuig ner
breath and speaking very low "ho
burnt the will himself, and said ho
would do justice to his sou; and then
ho told mo to go away, as ho was tired;
and that Is all." Then, looking with
desperate earnestness into his faco, she
asks, "You bellovo ino?-
1'oor Dlckl Sho is tho only woman
ho has ever cared for; ami, without a
word, ho puts his strong young arms
around her, and holds her cio.se to his
heart.
"1 bellovo you, my darling, against
all the worldr ho whispers brokenly;
and for a moment they forget all the
trouble and sorrow In tho present mo
ment ot happiness. Rut Alleeu remem
bers, uud clings to him, sobbing.
"I am so frightened!" slio cries wild
ly. "1 did no harm; It was all half a
joke at llrst. How could I tell that
you that you "
"That 1 should bo so nice?" whispers
Dick, trying to bo cheerful; but a lump
Is in his throat and a feeling of anxie
ty at his heart. "And I thought, dear,"
he says, still struggling to speak light
ly, "that Rowland Rertrand was a
sweetheart of yours; and you cannot
imagine hww wretched 1 was, Alleeu"
uttering her uUmo lu a hushed, shy
voice.
Rut tho ulrl's faco is wild with fear.
rou wont lot mom taice mo to pris
on, Dick? You will save mo promise,
promlso to savo mot"
"I will do all I cant" he crios in an
agony, though even now ho hears tho
Bound of wheels outsldo and knows tho
hour Is como. "Trust all to mo," ho
says hastily. "Thero Is somo awful
mistake;" and his faco is as agitated as
hers.
"Savo mo-oh Dick, Dlckl" cries
Alleen convulsively, as tho door opens,
and tho resistless arm of the law ap
pears In tho form of a polico-serjeant
and two men.
"Trust mol" whispers Dick, holding
her trembling hand close, though woli
ho knows that ho can do but llttlo to
help her now.
It Is over. Palo as death, passlvo
now from sheor terror, Alleen is gone,
in spite of all Dick I'onsonby 's passion
ato protestations of there being somo
awful, horriblo mistake. Every link
seems complete tho torn handkerchlof ,
tho burnt will, and tho roll of notes
discovered in poor Alleen's box. Tho
diamonds aro missing still; but ovcry
hole and corner of tho Court is being
ransacked; whilo tho lato master lies
cold and still under a whlto sheet.
ltowly arrives In a passion of rago
and grief, Dick having telegraphed for
him, and ho finds ho can do nothing
but wait in an agony of impatience
"You aro master now, ltowly," Dick
I'onsonby says, with u sickly smile.
ltowly stares at him and Dick ex
plains. "Tho old man left no will, you know,
so of courso you aro tho holr.
All tho passion of tho Rertrand's
shakes ltowly like n frenzy.
"And they say, do thoy not," ho
gasps, "that Alleen murdered my
grandfather and destroyed tho will?
Why could not you havo done some
thinganything rathor than let my
sister llo under such a chargo aa that
Dick looks at his cousin with eyes
full of mlsory.
"It Is ns bad for mo." ho says very
gontly; and tho two young mon clasp
hands in sllonco.
Nothing is talked of but tho murder
at tho Court; at every tircsldo nothing
elso Is discussed; ft forms tho staplo
topic of conversation in ovory publlc
houso. In ouo a llttlo stir is suddenly
occasioned by a stranger a tall gray
haired woman stalking in. Sho breaks
in upon tho conversation with a
strnngo remark. ,
"Tho young lady novor harmed ahalr
of his head; but Justlco will bo dono
yet."
Sho is mad, thoy say, and pay no
heed to hor words; and tho tall woman
with tho gray hair stalks out again.
And before tho noxt ovcnlng tho wholo
county Is supping on a freshhorror.
Hartnell, tho lato Mr. Rertrand's own
man, has boon found In a grovo nearly
dead, stabbod in tho back.
"Ho can't live" so tho doctor says:
and Hartnoll turns his faco to tho wall
uud moans.
"That fiend!" ho mutters.
Dick I'onsonby and ltowly nro Bitting
in silence In tho dining-room, each
wrapped In his own thoughts, when a
messago Is brought to say that a wo
man wants to soo Mr. I'onsonby at
onco. . ,
"Who is sho?" ho asks; and tho man
says tho woman is a stranger, and de
clares her messago Is urgent.
Slio looks a strango creature enough,
tall and gaunt, with gray hair and wild
oyes.
"I want to seo tho wounded man."
sho says abruptly. "Ho will know woll
enough who 1 am."
"You mean Hartnoll?" Dick asks,
wondering if the woman Is nn escaped
lunatic. . ...
"Perhaps ho calls himself Hartnoll';
his name was 'Harper' whon I know
him. And so ho has boon hiding hero
all these years. Do you know, gentlo
mon, that ho Is an explred-tlckot-of-lenvo
man?" ......
"Good hoavens!" cried Dick, whilo a
groat hopo springs to life. "You know
him, you say?" turning eagerly to tho
woman.
"Tako mo to him," she says laconi
cally, "and you will see."
That ho knows her Is ovldont by tho
look of abject shrinking horror on his
faco, which Is drawn and palo with
palu. Sho stands looking down at him
with a cold smile of triumph.
"So, Richard Harpor. you havo mot
your doom!" slio says grimly; and ho
crios out wildly
"Iot mo dlo in poaco let mo dlo!"
Tho woman turns to Dick, and, with
hand upraised, says
"Sir, this man has been tho curso of
my llfo. Ho ruined my child, my only
daughter; then ho murdered her child
and let her sutler for It ten long
years imprisonment. Heaven only
knows what his llfu has been. Year by
year I havo sought for him, and at
last Ay, Richard Harpor, you may
well shrink and cow erl Aow deny If
you can. 1 and tho woman you de
ceived saw you; tho window was open,
the shutters were not closod." Her
voice grows lower and more Intense.
"Vuu, Richard Harper you know best
how, wnen tho old gentleman lay sleep
ing in his chair, you stabbed him to the
neatt! We saw you wo both saw youl
And you know best how voti took the
keys from his dead hand and opened
his desk and places; and you know best
too woero jour plunder is luditen. And
.j a.iw you tear u handkerchief, and
tii-don pait in Ills dead lingers, and- "
Sim stuns, tor with convulsed feat
ures, Haituell Is sitting up staring at
her.
"You saw pie?" bo gasps out.
"Yes; and to-day I watched you, und
saw you burv jour plunder In tho
g'ove; and ail at onco I only remem
bered that j on had destroyed my child's
happiness, and 1 drovo a knlfo Into
vour back. Cowanl. traitor, murderer,
1 avenged my e'uidl" ner words rising
to a shriek.
"Is tins true?" Dick I'onsonby asks,
his voice very stern.
Tho dying man looks at him for a
moment, like an animal at bay, with
glaring eyes, and then his head drops,
und he speaks sullenly.
-That she-ilend has dono for mo; tho
game la up; I am dylngl Yea, it la all
"And you laid the guilt at another'a
doorl" Dick says more aternly, think
ing of all Alleen had gone through, of
all tho anxiety and anguish alio is sur
ferlng now. H will write your confes
sion; you will sign it?" , ,
"I will do anything, if you will only
tako that woman away! I burled the
knlfo too," ho mutters. "Twaa bad
luck, Infernal ba I luckl"
Dick dares not leavo him; bo ho sends
down-stairs for ltowlv. and whlsoers
iiasuiy Truss no nas neara; ana in less
than an hoar tho man's dying confes
sion has been wrltton and signed, and
tho strange witnesses of tho murdor
aro in safekeeping. .... .
Before the morning Hartnoll is doad.
Tho inquest is over; tho diamonds
havo been found burled In tho grovo.
Tho wholo tragedy Is brought to light,
and all is as clear as noon-day to the
wholo world.
Rut Alleen cannot easily forgot those
terrible hours of darkness and solitude;
and tremblingly sho tcccItcs Itowly's
eager congratulations.
And mother novor know ono word
about it. Didn't I manago well?" ho
asks, trying to stop tho tears ho sees
coming. "I only told her poor grand
father was dead and I had como In for
everything. Ailcen, you llttlo gooso,
don't bo unset I"
Somebody comes out of tho twilight,
and ltowly slips discreetly away.
"Darling," whispers Dick passionate
ly, "I suffered as much as you; lot mo
comfort youl"
(THE END.)

How to Train Pet Dogo.
"Lots of people who own dogs do
slro to train their pets, but they don't
understand how," said a dog-fancier
to a Now York Mail and Express re
porter tho other day. Yes, there are
somo rules about It. For instance, tho
training should bo begun, if possible,
when tno dog is a puppy, and about 4
months old, and the lessons should al
ways bo given lu a quiet place, with
no ono present but tho teacher. In
tho training of your dog you should
remember that you must endeavor to
make him bend to your will by kind
ness, at tho same time being llrm and
decided In all thattyou do. Uso your
whip sparingly, and never uso it with
anger. To teach him to lead placo a
string of about six or eight feot in
length around his neck. The dog will
endeavor to release himself, nnd you
must stand still until ho has ceased his
struggles. This will teach htm that ho
cannot get away, and then you can
teach him to como to you. Stand oft'
tho length of tho string aril say Come,'
or 'Como hero,' using the same word.
When calling him at the same tlmo
pull on tho string gently or uso words
every time, so ns not to confuse htm.
Ho will soon comprehend tho meaning
and oboy whenever the words aro used.
Whon giving the lesson always pot and
caress tho dog whenever ho docs as
you wish. It Is nlsoadvtsablo to teach
htm at this time by somo word or ges
ture which will indicate that his study
hour is over. To teach him to go or
stop, placo yourself lu or near somo
place where you know ho desires to go,
and say 'Go,' urging him on by calling.
Whon ho has gone a part of tho dls
tanco call 'Stop,' at tno same tlmo pull
ing on the string nnd repeating tho
command. With patience nnd kind
ness you will very soon mako htm fully
understand and bo obedient. Tho tlmo
required in his training varies accord
ing to the sagacity of tho dog, usually
being from one to two weeks. Never
lot thu lesson occupy more than half
an hour, and when through have some
choleo morsel to give him. While
making him fear you by sternness,
teach film to attach himself to you by
kindness. To teach him to 'chargo'
or ilu down,' put your hand on his
back and command him to 'chargo,' at
the same time placing him in position,
with his head between Ids foropawx. A
few lessons will mako htm under
stand." I.ortl JefTVry unil I.lttlo Nell.
Mrs. Henry Stddous, a neighbor and
Intimate friend of Lord Jcftery, who
had license to enter his Iioumi at all
hours uuiiiiuoiiuced and eonie and go
as slio lltcil, opened his library door
ouo day very gently to look if he was
there, and saw enough at a glance to
convince her that her visit was Ill
timed. The hard critic of the Killu
burgh lleeiew was Mtting in his chair
with his head on the table In deep
grief. As Mrs. Slddons was delicately
retiring, in the hope that her entrance
had been unnoticed, Jefl'ery raised his
head and beckoned her back. Per
