CHAPTER X
Great was the dismay throughout
the country side when It became
known that Maurice Aylmer had been
murdered. There was hardly a person
of consequence in the county who
could not claim at least a bowing ac
qualntance with him. Moreover, Mau
Hce was one of those men who are al
ways popular, and much sympathy
was manifested for his untimely death
Also the mysterious way in which h
had come to his end, the absence of
any known motive, and the knowledge
that the deceased had no enemies all
these things combined to raise public
curiosity to the highest pitch.
Crowds of people came from all
parts of the country to view the scene
of the crime, and, if possible, to gain a
glimpse of Jen and David, who as rel
atlves of the deceased were notorious
for the time being; but thanks to the
presence of the police and the vigi
lance of Jaggard, the morbid crowd of
sightseers were unable to gratify their
curiosity. The two men remained In
seclusion, and saw no one save Dr. Et
wald. A sympathetic message arrived
from Mrs. Dallas, which, considering
the way she had behaved towards
Maurice, the Major regarded as
gratuitous insult
"Can't she let the poor man rest In
his grave?" said Jen, wrathfully. "It
is all through her opposition to the
match that this has come about!"
"Oh, you can't say that. Uncle Jen,"
remonstrated David.
"Yes, I can, sir. If Maurice had not
been prevented from seeing Isabella,
there would have been no necessity
for him to call on Etwald; and If he
had not done that, he would not have
been on the high-road In the night to
meet with his death. Mrs. Dallas and
her Infernal negress are at the bottom
of this whole accursed business."
Of course this was mere raving on
the part of Jen, but the poor man was
beside himself with grief at the loss of
Maurice, and hardly knew what he
was saying. Being In this frame of
mind, he was by no means pleased
when shortly after the delivery of Mrs.
Dallas' message Dido made her ap
pearance with a request for a person
al interview.
3 shan't see that black witch," cried
'the Door Major. "David Etwald, send
Jher away."
"I wouldn't if I were yon Major!
ald Etwald, judiciously; "she might
'e the bearer of valuable Information,
likely to lead to the detection of Ayl
mer's assassin."
David left the room and remained
absent for some time. On his return
he stated that Dido had come with a
message from Isabella, and that she
refused to deliver it to anyone save
the Major. Seeing that the negress
was thus insistent, and wondering
what Miss Dallas might want with
him at so painful a time, Jen yielded,
and Dido was admitted into the li
brary. . She looked taller, more mas
sive, and more sullen than ever, and
though she trembled at-, the sight of
Dr. Etwald who, by the way, kept -his
dark eyes studiously fixed on her she
was fairly composed when she ad
dressed the Major. .
"My HI missy want you, sar," said
Dldo, going straight to the point "She
weep! She ill! She make terrible
bobbery, dat poo' girl. ' Massa come an'
see my lil missy dis day!"
"I can't at present! The' police are
In the house; there is a lot to be at
tended to. Tell your mistress. Dido,
that I'll see her to-morrow.-"
"She wants you to-day!" Insisted
Dldo, obstinately. . . ..
"I have given you the message," said
Jen, sharply-. "Tell her I'll see her to
morrow. And now, Dido, I wajnt t6
know what you have to do withthis
crime?" '
' massa! Ole Dido she do nuffin.
Massa Maurice he die Voodoo! ' Oh,
yes!"
"By that devil-stick poison?"
"Me don't know what debble-stlck
la! I no touch him!"
It was clearly impossible to learn
anything from so obstinate a creature,
so Jen repeated that he would call up
on Isabella on the morrow, and dis
missed the negress. As she left the
room Dr. Etwald followed her, and on
his return mentioned casually that he
had been giving Dido some Instruc
tions as to what was to be done with
Isabella.
"The girl is nervously excited," he
explained; "and now that she has sus
tained this shock of Mr. Aylmer's
death there is no knowing what com
plications may ensue."
"You are a prophet of evil, Etwald!
First my poor Maurice, now Miss Dal
las!" "A to that," replied Etwald, with
deliberation, "I foretell that Miss Dal
las may get ill from perfectly natural
signs. She was in love with Aylmer;
she Is of a highly excitable and ner
vous character, so It is easy to know
that unless great care is exercised, her
brain may be affected."
"But with regard to Maurice?"
"Quite a different thing. I read In
his hand that he would be subject to
a state of Life In Death."
"Which, as we guessed, meant par
alysis or catelepsy," said David. "But
aa you see, poor Maurice Is dead. Your
prophesy was false."
"It would seem so. Mr. Aylmer Is
dead, as you say; so the term Life tn
Death cannot be applied to his pres
ent state of non-existence. But you
will admit that I foretold that evil
would happen to him If he decided to
marry Miss Dallas. It has turned out
as I thought1
Author of
Hansom Cab,
"True, doctor," remarked Jen, keep
ing his eyes fixed upon the swart face
of the other. "And Is that all you have
to say?"
"All? What else do you expect me
to say?" demanded Etwald, coldly.
"Say who you think killed Maurice?
Who stole the devil-stick?"
"I can't- answer," said the doctor,
taking up his hat. "A detective may be
able to assist you on these points. En
eace one!"
"No," said Jen, taking David by the
arm. "We don't need aid from the
law to learn who killed Maurice, and
avenge his death. David and myself
will find the guilty person?"
"Really. I hope you will succeed.
But a case like this requires a trained
intelligence such as you may find In
detective. Of course, you may com
mand my services. Major, but I'm
afraid you will not succeed."
When the doctor had taken himself
off, and was walking past the library
windows towards the curve of the ave
nue where it ran into the woods, Jen
looked after him with a lowering face,
and laid an inquiring finger on David
arm.
"Do you trust that man, my boy?'
he asked, gravely.
No, returned Sarby, after a pause.
I think he is a bad lot"
"I am sure of it; and what's more,"
added Jen, nodding, "it is my opinion
that he knows who killed Maurice, if
indeed he did not do it himself."
The hours dragged heavily along in
that house of mourning. The body of
the dead man lay In the little chamber
which looked out upon the laurel-en
circled lawn. It was covered with i
white sheet, the hands were folded up
on the breast, and flowers had been
laid thereon by' the Major. Over the
face a handkerchief had been thrown
as the once handsome features were so
discolored as to be absolutely repulsive
to the sight There was something
terrible in the rigidity of the long
form, stretched out so stiffly under the
sheet In the chamber, candles were
burning, and Jaggard was watching
near the corpse. He was to watch
throughout the night
David retired early to bed, as he was
quite wornout with the anxieties of
the day; but Jen was too grieved to
sleep. He remained in the library,
thinking over his great loss, and won
derlng what wretch could have taken
that young -life. Towards 12 o'clock he
went to the kitchen, and had ft short
conversation with the policeman, who
was a stupid bucolic, youth with no
more brains than a pumpkin. After
wards he sought the chamber of death
to see that Jaggard was not sleeping
at his -post Finally, like the old sol
dier he was, Jen went round the house,
to satisfy himself that the windows
and doors were bolted and barred. All
these things done, he returned to the
library.
At first he read and then paced up
and down, thinking of his dead lad,
and finally as the hands of the clock
rew to midnight he threw himself in
to a chair,'' and worn but In body and
in mind, the old man slept profoundly.
Hour after hour passed in silence; the
moon set, and the night grew darker,
as the mind rose and moaned through
the woods round the house. Save the
muttering of the breeze and the ticking
of the. clock, not a sound was 'to b
heard in that silent room wherein Jn
slept-heavily.
- Suddenly he woke with a fetart'
Someone was rapping gently on the
shutlers'of the middle window. Glanc-Ing-at
the -clock, Jen saw that It oat
in the morning, and wondering who
could be outside at' so untimely an
our, he. rose to open the wlndrw,-
Wtth care, begotten of old experience,
he'plcked up his? revolver, and held It
ready while unbolting the .window
shutters. When they were thrown
open, he saw a white figure with out-
tretohed hands standing before- the
window.
Miss Dallas! You here? At this
hour?'
"Yes, yes," whispered the girl, step
ping into the room. "I got out of my
bedroom window and escaped from my
mother and Dido. I want to see Mau
rice. Take me to the death -chamber."
Seeing from her looks that she was
too distraught to be argued with, Jen
led her out of the library and Into the
dead man's room. Then he uttered
cry, which was echoed by a wild
hriek from the girl.
The bed was empty the corpse was
gone.
CHAPTER XI.
Astounded and horrified, the Major,
with Isabella Dallas clinging to his
arm, stood staring at the empty bed.
The candles were still burning, but
Jaggard had fallen from his chair, and
was lying, a huddled heap upon the
floor. The one window of the room
as wide open, and the wind was
haking a loose shutter to and fro. The
shock of the discovery was so terrific
that Jen, for once In his life, loBt his
presence of mind. He was recalled to
his senses by the wild voice of Isa
bella. Maurice! Maurice! Where Is her
she cried, leaving the Major and rush
ing towards the empty bed. "You said
he was here my poor dead love; but I
can't see him. Where Is he? Where
Is her
Jen turned his horrified gaze on the
poor glrL He did not know what to
do. Isabella was In a dangerous state
of hysteria. She had little on but a
loose white dressing-gown, and her
presence in the house at a o'clock in
the morning was enough to overpower
Etc. J a
Jen's dense of the reasonable, inde
pendent of the crowning horror of the
missing corpse. At this Juncture the
much-needed aid came from without
David Sarby rushed into the room.
He was half -clothed, pale as the
white dress of Isabella Dallas, and evi
dently, from the wild look in his eyes
and quivering of his nether dip, badly
scared. Stopping short a few paces
from the door, he held up the lamp
which he carried, to survey the aston
ishing scene before' him. The sight of
Jen tongue-tied and immovable, of Is
abella weeping on her knees by the
bedside, of the' bed itself vacant of Its
dead occupant all these things were
calculated to shock even stronger
nerves than those of David Sarby
Nevertheless, after a pause of sheer
astonishment, he managed to stammer
out a question.
"Did did she cry out?" he asked,
nodding towards the girl. "I heard a
shriek."
His presence and question unlocked
the Major's tongue.
'Yes," he replied, In a hesitating
manner, as of one unused to speech.
"She came to the library window ten
minutes ago, having escaped from the
custody of her mother and Dido. Quite
hysterical,, as you see, and bent upon
seeing our poor dead lad. To pacify
her I brought her, here, but, as you
see "
"The body Is gone!" cried David,
hurrying towards the bed.
"Gone! gone?" moaned Isabella, rls
ing. "Oh, my dear dead lover!"
"Jaggard!"
"There!" said Jen, pointing to th.
inanimate form of his old servant
"We must alarm the house," cried
Sarby, in a horrilied tone, and there
upon walked swiftly towards the door.
Before he could reach it the Major,
having recovered his presence of mind,
seized him by the arm.
"No, no!" said Jen, hastily. "Do not
bring anyone here as yet. We must
think of this poor girl, David. Take
her home at once. When you are both
out of the house I shall give the alarm.
You understand; no one must know
that Miss Dallas has been in my house
at this hour."
"I quite agree with you," said Da
vid, simply; and turning to Isabella,
he took her gently by the hand. "Come,
Miss Dallas. This is no place for you."
"Maurice," muttered Isabella, looking
piteously at him.
"Maurice Is not here. Come, Miss
Dallas; let me take you back to your
mother."
"My mother is so cruel," said Isabel
la, in a low tone, "and I feel so ill,"
she continued, raising her hand to
her loose hair. "Yes, yes; I must go
home. But Maurice my dear Mau
rice." "I shall tell you all about It to-morrow,"
answered Jen, , soothingly, and
led her out of the room. "At the pres
ent moment you must go home with
Mr. Sarby. David, there Is a loose
cloak of mine In the ' hall. Wrap it
round her and come In the library. It
is best that she should leave in the
way she came."
David did as he was told, and
snatched up his old ulster after wrap
ping up Isabella. In the library they
found the Major reopening the shut
ters of the window, which he had
closed on the girl's entry. When he
flung them wide, a gust of mind blew
inward, sprinkling him with moisture,
Rain," said Jen, drawing back. "All
the better; there will be no spies
about, and you can take Miss Dallas
home without being observed."
Taking the girl by the hand, David
led her towards the window. ' She was
In a half-dazed condition, the result of
the strong excitement which had Im
pelled her to make this midnight visit
and her nerves being thus dulled, she
surrendered herself passively to' the
guidance of David. Only at the win
dow did she pause, and look stead
fastly at the.,Mjijori ;
You must find out what has become
of "my dear Maurice's body," she said,
quietly.

Experiments at Tragg Orchard, lo
cated at Rockford, la., have proven
that it pays to spray. In an orchard
of 2,900 trees two small plots were
sprayed. The average yield for the
orchard was less than one-fifth bushel
per tree, while In one of the plots un
der experiment the yield averaged two
bushels per tree. This is proof con
clusive that if the whole orchard had
been sprayed, and it could have been
done at but little more expense, the
result would have been 5,000 bushels
instead of 500, or even less.
The benefits of the treatment were
not confined to Increasing the yield
Not only was there more fruit and
finer fruit where the trees were
sprayed, but the fruit hung to the
trees better. The great superiority of
the sprayed fruit over corresponding
grades of unsprayed fruits was appar
ent to every one who examined the
crop. The treatments may be given
in this order: When the leaf buds
are opening. Just before the blooming,
Just after blooming, about two weeks
after the third treatment, the last of
July or first of August. In all this
work it Is best to use liquid Bordeaux
mixed with paris green or some other
effective poison. 3. A. Beach in Agri

Honp and Cholera.
Of tbe two diseases, says a poultry-
man, we fear roup more than we do
cholera. The best remedy for a bird
In the advanced stages of roup is the
hatchet. Upon the first appearance of
any disease, the ailing birds should be
isolated and the poultry house thor
oughly renovated and dtslnfected. It
U always well to have some good roup
remedy at hand, as the time lost In
sending for a remedy after the fowls
become affected only gives the disease
a chance to get firmly established.

on the date stamped on the seal. The
eggs are guaranteed sterile and to be
the product of hens in perfect health,

Benefit From Cowpeaa.
It IS interesting to note Just how
the cowpea crop benefits the soil upon
which it grpwg and increases its pro
ductive capacity. Itf the first place
it does so by increasing the supply of
nitrogen, which it transfers from the
air to the soil by means of the bacteria
which live on the roots of the plant.
This added supply of nitrogen serves
also to increase the growth of the
plant' as well as enriching the soil
during its growth.
Mllo for Feeding Poultry.
Many poltrymen prefer mllo to
corn for feeding poultry. The seeds
are of convenient size for feeding, and
the composition Is nearly the same
as that of corn. Dry-land farmers in
eastern Colorado state that in an aver
age season they can raise a ton or
more grain to the acre by planting
carefully selected seed and giving it
thorough cultivation. It is their
surest feed grain crop.
Growing Spanish Onions.
An experiment carried out by the

that Spanish onions may be grown
with good success in that region. A

the Chicago market. This does not
take into account about 5,500 pounds
of culls that would have brought at
least 1 cent a pound.

Wonderful Work of Cow.
According .to modern standards Ol
measurements of a dairy cow, one that
gives 6,000 pounds of milk a year, Is
but an ordinary milker. And yet to
elaborate this amount of milk, this
cow must manufacture not less than
780 pounds of milk solids. The cow
may weigh more than 800 ,or 900
pounds, and the dry matter of her body
is only the half of this amount, so we
see the cow may manufacture new
material annually amounting to more
than twice that contained in her own
body. To do this wonderful work she
must be In the best of physical con
d it ion and must have an abundance
of material containing the elements
she needs.
Alfalfa for Cows.
Where there is an abundant supply
of alfalfa, do not feed tbe dairy cows
any timothy hay, but let them have
all the alfalfa they can consume with
out waste. A mixture consisting of
400 pounds of ground corn, 300 pounds
of bran or oats supplements the al
falfa very well. Seven or eight pounds
of this combination Is sufficient to pro
duce one pound of fat when fed with
all the good alfalfa hay an animal
will consume. If the droppings of
the animal seem somewhat dry, do not
hesitate to recommend the use of one
pound of oil meal per. day. Farmers

Brief Farm Hints.
Celery Is getting to be the best pay
ing crop the garden grows.
It is a great mistake to feed pigs
sour milk when they are learning to
eat.
Milk the cows clean every time If
you would keep up a uniform flow of
milk.
The man, the cow, the feed, are
three essentials to successful dairy
ing. Choose for the breeding mare a
solid color dark bay, black or chest
nut. The disposition of a horse has a
great deal to do with bis value on a
farm.
A farmer's wife will not find it hard
to get private customers in town for
genuine fresh eggs.
Do not keep cows for a side Issue;
make it a business, like any other
branch of farm work.
The fac that a DS w111 eat almost
anything and turn it into meat does
not imply anything will do for the
hog.
Stick to the old stand-bys for the
main crop, and touch the novelties
lightly. Some of them are fine, how-
eer.
Put in an ornamental or other tree
in the front yard. They will double
the value of your property In a few

Preparatory to Big Oil Vaatna
Tbroagh Boring in Ita Bad.
A fight for title to 4,400 acres of Fer
ry Lake In Caddo parish, southwest
Louisiana, and said to be an oil field
valued at approximately 15,000,000, has
been begun before Commissioner Den
nett of the general land office. The
claimant Is John a King of Tezarkans,
Texas, who made entry over one year
ago under the placer mining act. He
claims that the area of the lake was
neyer turned over b"y the government
to the State of Louisiana, and as the
attorney general of that State did not
put in an appearance yesterday it is
believed that the State is content to let
the general government deal with the
proposition before it in any manner
It may deem advisable.
Former Representative John J. Lenti
of Columbus, Ohio; J. A Telller of
Little Rock, Ark., and J. D, Korner,
also of the capital of Ohio, made up
the legal array which presented Mr.
King's side of the case. At the close
of the argument Commissioner Den
nett took the matter under advisement
Me did not announce when a decision
will be rendered In the matter.
For several months past It has been
believed that the State officials of Lou
isiana were going to put up a vigorous
fight for the lake, which also has a
considerable area in the State of Tex
as. Several years ago, while prospect
ing over the general oil field In the
section where the lake Is located, Mr.
King discovered that while tbe Stand
ard Oil Company had located Us wells
on all sides of the property, no attempt
had been made to locate on the lake.
He then went to work,- and made a
close examination of the records bear
ing on the question of title to the land
on which the lake lies. This was for
merly government land before the back
water from the Red River overflowed
the section and left the lake. He ascer
tained, bo It was pointed out In the ar
gument of the attorneys before Com
missioner Dennett yesterday that the
lake was never turned over by the
general government to the State of
Louisiana, and he lost no time in mak
ing an entry on the 4,400 acres in ques
tion, which is believed to be the rich
est In the section in point of possible
oil fields.
With his entry he then made his
plans to bring the matter to the atten
tion of the commissioner of the gen
eral land office, so as to perfect the ti
tle before he begins operations for lo
cating oil wells. He talked at length
yesterday of the question and pointed
out that as the lake Is only about two
or three feet deep It will be a compara
tively easy matter to locate oil wells In
all parts of the area covered by the
4,400 acres In question. Mr. King Is
positive from the Investigations he has
made that the area Is of Immense value
and hopes as soon as he gets title to
begin operations.
The section In which the lake Is lo
cated in both Texas and Louisiana Is
looked upon by oil experts everywhere
as a particularly rich oil country, and
this fact has been singularly brought
out. It Is declared, by reason of the fact
that the Standard Oil Company has
come into the section and bought up
all the land bordering on the lake.
