"And what did you do?" asked Jen,
Wuch interested in this strange his
tory. "I went in later on, and found that
my mother had gone to bed. I said
nothing at the time, as I was afraid
of Dido. Afterwards, when Maurice
was killed, and you said that the devil
Btiok had killed him, I went to Dido
and accused her of the crime. She
was fearfully angry, and warned me
that if I said a word about the theft
of the devil-stick, I would be in dan
ger of hanging my own mother. Afraid
lest such an accusation should kill my
mother, who is not strong, I said noth
ing to her, or indeed to anyone. I told
a lie to you to save my mother; what
else could I do? But now I tell you
the truth, and I wish you to protect
us both against the evil of Dido and
Dr. Etwald."
"You believe that Dr. Etwald killed
Maurice?"
'I am sure of it. When I became
ill through the terror of the secret
which 1 possessed, Dido prepared that
poison under the pretence of curing
me, but I now know that she did so to
re-fill the devil-stick. She then sent
It to Etwald, and he killed Maurice.
Also he stole the body with the as
sistance of Dido."
Major Jen moved a step towards the
door of the summer-house. All at once
he paused and looked back.
"One moment. Miss Dallas!" he said,
quickly. "Does David know about the
theft of the devil-stick? That is." he
added, more precisely, "does he know
that your mother stole it .'
"I cannot be quite certain if he does
said Isabella, after a pause, "but
fannv hp has some idea of it. When
he has seen me of late he has always
hppn an nervous and silent. At our
last meeting, also, he told me that we
were to fear nothing."
"Wm" said .Ten. reflectively. "Un
doubtedly you are right. Miss Dallas.
David must have learned the trutn in
some way; but I cannot imagine how.
Well, good-by, good-by. I shall see
you later on, when we have this scoun
drel under lock and key."
On consideration, Jen thought !t
would he best to say nothing definite
to David about his discovery. If the
Swung man, from a feeling of honor
ttOTcards an unhappy woman, kept vi
olent, the Major was the last person in
: the world to tempt him to break It.
-Jen decided to merely hint to David
that he knew the truth, and to let the
sarffat of Etwald tell its own tale, and
Tiwseal the lad's lips, by showing that
Idrs. Dallas was Innocent As Jen
came to this conclusion, he entered his
own gates, and rather to his surprise
he met David, considerably agitated,
advancing to meet him.
'Inspector Arkel and Dr. Etwald are
waiting for you in the library," said
Sarby, rapidly.
"I know it. I sent for them. I wish
the first to arrest the second."
"Arrest Dr. Etwald! On what
grounds?"
"On the grounds of having murdered
Maurice," said Jen, coldly. "Yes, you
may look astonished, David, but it is
the truth. Without yojr assistance I
have discovered that Etwald is guilty.
Also," added the Major, in a kindly
tone, "I know the reason of your si
lence." "Who who told you?" stammered
the young man, as pale as death.
'Miss Dallas."
"Isabella'." David looked terrified.
CHAPTER XX.
Before Jen had time to inuiqre the
meaning of David's strange exclama
tion, the young man had turned on his
heel and was walking rapidly back to
the house. Surprised by this behavior,
and suspicious of its reason, the Ma
jor called out to him to stop; but,
without taking any notice, the young
man increased his pace, and was soon
lost to sight. Jen went after him, and
on entering the library found that only
Arkel was present.
"Where is Dr. Etwaid?" demanded
the Major, anxiously.
"He went up stairs a few minutes
ego to see your servant," replied the
Inspector, rising. "Mr. Sarby was with
him."
Jen started. Evidently David had
returned before him in order to ?e
Etwald, and, to gain private speech
with the doctor, had conducted him to
Jaggard's sick-room. For the moment
Jen still suspicious of Sarby's beha
vior had it In his mind to foiiow;
but a few minutes of reflection con
vinced him that this was un nee nary.
Ijavid did not know ail the ror, vena
tion which had taken place betweei
himself and Isabella, therefore h".
could Inform Etwald of no.;-,;.'? new.
Iiut, indeed, the Major pondered why
David wished to speak privately with
the doctor. It looked, to hi mind, as
though the two men w ere in l zz it.
"Well, never mind Dr. Etwald just
now," he said, aloud. "He had h!s du
ties to perform, and I have mine. Hit
down, Mr. Arkel. I suppose you won
der why I have sent for you."
"Well, no, Major. I presume It Is In
connection with the case."
"You are right. I wish to know If
you have discovered anything new."
"Yes. Your messenger, liatteraea,
was wandering about your grounds on
that night."
"Eattersea!" cried Jen, thunder
struck. "Did he see the body carried
off?"
"He did not see It taken out of the
house," explained Arkel, referring to
Mine notes which he held in his hand,
"but he saw It put Into the carriage,
which waa waiting In the winding lane
at the foot of your grounds. Two peo
ple carried the body between them a
of SSeei
OR
man and a woman but Battersea can
not give me their names."
"I can, however," said Jen, grimly.
I'll give you the names later on Mr.
Inspector. In the meantime, be good
enough to conclude your report of Bat
tersea s confession. It Interests me
deeply."
"I thought It would," replied Arkel,
with a look of satisfaction. "Weil, the
man and the woman put the body Into
the carriage a doctor's brougham,
When the body was placed in the car
riage and the door closed, the woman
went away. The man mounted the
carriage-box and drove off. It appears
tnat there was no coachman."
I don t wonder at that," rejoined the
Major. "This precious pair were afraid
to trust their secret to a third party.
Xo doubt, the horse, being quiet, was
left to stand in the deep shadow of
the lane while the robbers stole the
corpse. However, I understand. The
woman. went away, the man mounted
the box, and I suppose drove off with
the corpse."
"Also with Battersea," added Arkel,
with a significant smile. "It seems
that the tramp wished to see the end
of this singular adventure, or, no doubt,
he wished to make money out of It
Well, he was driven with the carriage
to Deanmlnster."
Quite so, and Into that gloomy
courtyard which surrounds the house
of Dr. Etwald," added Major Jen, with
a satisfied smile. "Battersea saw the
doctor take the body out of the car
riage and carry It into the house. Then,
on his return Etwald's, I mean he
unharnessed the horse and put it Into
the stable; also the carriage Into the
coach-house. Is that not so, Mr. Ar
kel?" 'Battersea told you so," stammered
Arkel, amazed at his insight.
"I assure you he told me nothing.
But I am as clever at Battersea, and
can put two and two together. Next
day Battersea went to Etwald, did he
not, and tried to blackmail him, but
this clever doctor compelled him to
keep silent? I know a great many
things, Mr. Inspector. For instance, I
know that the woman who assisted
Dr. Etwald to steal the body is Dido;
also that Dr. Etwald Is a murderer as
well as a thief."
"If I had only known that, I would
have had 'the warrant altered."
"What!" cried Jen, with an expres
sion of ferocious joy lighting up his
face, "you have a warrant for the ar
rest of Etwald?"
'Yes, but on the charge of stealing
the body only. I took It out after hear
ing the evidence of the tramp Batter
sea.
"Very good. Then you can take out
a warrant for his arrest as a murderer,
after hearing my evidence. I swear on
my sacred honor, that Maurice Aylmer
was killed by Max Etwald!"
At this moment the door of the li
brary opened slowly, and Dr. Etwald,
calm and composed, appeared on th
threshold. Behind him, over his shoul
der, peered the pale countenance of
David. From the ironical look on the
doctor's face it would appear that he
had overheard the accusation of the
Major, and was prepared to treat it
with contempt. That such was the
case appeared by the first words which
issued from his mouth as he faced his
accuser.
'I hear the name of Max Etwald
coupled with the crime of murder. Is
this the way you treat your guests,
Major?"
You are not my guest," retorted
Jen, furiously.
'Xo; rather your victim, seeing that
you have lured me into a trap. It i?
not to see Jaggard that you asked me
here; but rather to force me if you
can Into confessing that I am guilty of
a triple crime.
"You make one mistake, sir," said
Jen, coldly. "I accused you of two
crimes, not of three."
'Ah, you are lenient," replied Etwald,
a shade or surprise passing over nis
features, a surprise which was reflect
ed In the agitated face of David Sar
by. "Well, sir, let me hear of what I
am accused."
With the utmost coolness, he enter
ed the room and sat down In a chair
near Arkel. The Inspector, with his
hand in his breast-pocket, fingered the
warrant, but did not deem it wise to
execute it until he had heard what
proof the Major possessed against Et
waid for the murder of Maurice Ayl
mer. David sat down near the door.
ar.d followed every' movement of the
eer.e which ensued with keen eyes.
ThJS, three of the occupants of the
spartmerit were seated Sarby, Arkel,
ti' Etwald. Only one man stood up
Major Jen and he stood as the accus
er. "Dr. Etwald," said the Major, with
great calmness and deliberation, "you
are a clever and ambitious man, who
wishes to make his way in the world,
but has hitherto failed to do so for
lack of money. To procure money for
your experiments in chemistry, you
would do anything ven marry a rich
woman!"
"Or murder the man formerly en
gaged to her," retorted Etwald, with a
pale smile. "Go on, Major Jen, I see
the marK you are aiming at"
"You found this rich match here,"
resumed Jen, without noticing the In
terruption, "In the person of Miss Dal
las, already engaged to the late Mr.
Aylmer. You loved her, and wanted
your rival out of the way. To do so
you had the devil-stick stolen."
"Ho, ho! and by whom?"
"Mrs. Pallas stole the devil-stick,
and gave It to Dido, who, by your di
rections, filled it with fresh poison.
Dido helped you to do so, and drugged
of death to you, and with It vou killed
mjr poor noy at tne very gaiea or in
girl he loved. Afterwards you stole
the body of the man you murdered
Dido helped you to do so ,and drugged
my servant, Jaggard, with the perfume
of the devil-stick poison, In order that
the theft might be carried out with
safety."
"It would seem that Dido has a great
deal to do with these matters," said
Etwald, looking up to the roof.
"She has everything to do with them,
&ne win be brought against you as a
witness."
"Indeed. Then it appears that 1 am
to be arrested."
'I can answer that," broke lp Arkol,
amazed at the self-possession of the
man. "I have here a warrant to arrest
you for stealing the body of Maurice
Aylmer."
"How can you prove that I did so?"
he demanded.
"By the evidence of the tramp Bat
tersea."
"Battersea!" repeated the doctor, and
for the first time he frowned.
"Y'es. He saw you place the body In
the brougham, with the assistance of
Dido. He followed you to Deanmln
ster, and saw you take the body Into
your house."
"Oh, then," said Etwald, turning to
wards Jen. "I am not to be accused of
the murder."
"Later on, my friend Cain," said the
Major, grimly. "You will have quite
enough to do to save your neck from
the halter."
"I am afraid so, Indeed, Major;
therefore, I must have assistance.
There is nothing like being provided
in time with counsel for the defence;
therefore, I must ask Mr. David Sarby
to defend me from these absurd
charges."
"I!" cried David, starting up with
pale cheeks. "I defend you!" '
"Assuredly," replied Etwald, fixing
a piercing glance on the young man.
Do you refuse?"
"Of course he does," cried Jen,
wrathfully.
David raised his head and looked at
the Major, at the doctor, at the In
spector.
'No," said he, In a firm voice to all
three, "I accept I shall defend Maj
Etwald."

LUNCHES AT ONE CENT EACH.
They Are Fed to Halt-Fed Chil
dren Who Would Iteaent. Charity.
A heaping portion of Indian pudding
with milk and two crackers waa the
menu for thel-cent lunch served at the
Wlnthrop School yesterday, and as
long as the service proves as success
ful as It has in the past the lunches
will be continued at 10:30 each morn
ing, so that none of the little children
who come to school with appetites
half-satisfied need go home famished.
The high cost of living which has
shaved down the breakfasts at home
almost to a minimum operates to send
seme children to school with insuffi
cient nourishment to do justice to
themselves in their work, the Boston
Post says.
At the Wlnthrop School It was de
cided that any plan that seemed to In
clude charity would prove a failure, as
children are the quickest persons to
form class barriers and look down on
their playmates who may not be able
to have food enough at home.
Miss Emmeline F. Torrey, teacher
of domestic science, believes that she
has solved the problem in the 1-cent
lunches served each morning. If cost
of preparation and service were added
it would be impossible to make the
meal otherwise than charitable, so
Miss Torrey has a class of eighteen
girls, ranging in age from 10 to 13,
prepare the dishes and serve them.
Thus the cent that the children pay
covers the entire cost.
The cup of pudding and crackers,
together with the milk, which was
served yesterday to each hungry pu
pil had enough nutriment in it to
equal nearly three large slices of bread,
with butter. The quality. Miss Torrey
said, was well suited for the needs of
the children.
All the teachers in the school say
that the tentative working of the plan
thus far has been to provide much
mora wideawake children after the
lunch hour and to do away with the
eagerness to have school dismissed.

ODD GEOGRAPHICAL FACTS.
tnlqae Point About the United
State Worth Kemembtrlng,
Among the many geographical pe
culiarities In the United States there
are some especially Interesting.
The two largest counties in the
United States are Custer County, Mon
tana, and San Bernardino County, Cal
ifornia. Each of these is a little move
than 20,000 square miles In extent, and
the States of Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Delaware and New Jersey
could be put inside the boundaries of
either of them. The smallest county
In the Union la Bristol County, Rhode
Island, which has only 25 square
miles.
The county In the United States hav
ing the largest population la New
York, which has 2,000,000 people in it
At the time of the last census Bailey
County, Texas, which Is about the size
of the State of Rhode Island, had only
four inhabitants.
About 60 miles from Durango, Colo
rado, there Is a point where four
States meet. Here by stepping a, few
feet in either direction one can walk
In four different commonwealths In as
many seconds. These commonwealths
are the States of Colorado, Utah and
the Territories of New Mexico and
Arizona. A nearly parallel case Is at
Harper's Ferry, where the train stops
a few minutes to allow the passengers
to alight and enjoy a view which per
mits them' to look into three States
Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia,
The highest and lowest elevations In
this country are In California, within
100 miles of each other. The loftiest
Is Mt. Whitney, 14,499 feet high, and
the lowest is Death Valley, about 450
feet below the level of the sea.
Two Oceans Pass, in Yellowstone
Park, is so na.med because whenever
there is a shower in the vicinity and a
certain small creek overflows. Its
waters spread over the edge of the
continental divide and pass Into trib
utaries of rivers which flow to the At
lantic and to the Pacific.
The longest city street in the United
States Is Western avenue, Chicago,
which is exactly 22 miles long. Its
nearest rival Is Halsted street, also
in Chicago, which Is two-thirds of a
mile shorter. Halsted street is so
much more closely built up that It Is
usually spoken of as the longest street
In the world. Interspersed with the
native Americans on this one street
are Germans, Italians, Russians, Jews,
Bohemians, Poles and Greeks. Hal
sted street Is crossed over and under
by 20 railroads.
A novel way to demonstrate the size
of the State of Texas is to spread out
a map of the Union and stretch a
string across Texas the longest way.
Then placing one end of the measure
at Chicago, one will find that the other
end will extend into either the Atlan
tic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico.

The kinnikinic is a plant pioneer,
Often it is the first plant to make a
settlement or establish a colony on a
barren or burned-over area. It is
hardy, and is able to make a start
and thrive in places so inhospitable as
to afford most plants not the slightest
foothold. Enos A. Mills, In "Wild Life
on the Rockies," tells of the beneficial
work which this plant does; it often
opens the way for the growth of a
flourishing forest.
The kinnikinic, or Arctostaphylos
Uva-ursl, as the botanists name it.
may be called a ground-loving vine.
Although always attractive, it is in
winter that it is at its best. Then its
bright green leaves and red berries
shine among tne snow-flowers in a
quiet way that Is strikingly beauti
ful.
Once kinnikinic has made a start it
is constantly assisted to succeed by
its own growing success. Its arms
catch and hold snow and this gives a
supply of much needed water. This
water is snugly stored beneath the
plant, where but little can be reached
or taken by the sun or the thirsty
winds. The winds, too, bring some
thing to it dust, powdered earth.
trash, the remains of dead insects
some of this material is carried , for
miles. All goes to form new soil, or
to fertllie or mulch the old. The soil-
bed grows deeper and richer, and Is
also constantly outbuilding and enlarg
ing.
In a few years a small oasis 13 form
ed in. or rather on, the barren. This
becomes a place of refuge for seed-
wanderers, in fact, a nursery. There
are millions of acres now almost des
ert that may some time be .changed
and beautified by this cheerful plant.
Some time many bald and barren
places in the Rockies will be
plumed with pines, bannered with
flowers, have brooks, butterflies and
singing birds, all of these because of
the reclaiming work which will be
done by charming kinnikinic.
Filipino Justice.
Justice tempered by mercy Is a
praiseworthy thing. But this story, re
lated by an ex-supervisor of education
in the Philippines, goes to prove that
common sense is quite as desirable an
accompaniment of the Justice dis
pensed by the local magistrate of our
island possessions. This is the tale:
I came home one day Just in time to
see a thief climbing out the. window
with the better part of my wardrobe.
I gave chase so earnestly that the thief
finally dropped the clothes in the street
and disappeared. As I gathered up my
belongings a native policeman came
along and insisted on arresting me. He
took me before a Filipino Judge, where
I told my story very plainly and em
phatically. When I had finished, the Judge said,
"You are dismissed, but you may leave
the clothes here."
"But why?" I Insisted, angrily.
"Because," said he, with sage delib
eration, "how can I tell that you speak
the truth? When the thief conies back
to Identify these clothes as the ones he
stole, you may have them."
