The Trail of
THE STRANGE EXPERIENCE
OF DR. ROBERT HARLAND

By D. FLETCHER ROBINSON
(Copvrbtht. 1905, by
ClIAPTKH VIU.
I wa not favorably Impressed with
till breeder of pig. He was an elderly
limn, full bodied, with white hair, thai
tuck out stltlly from under hit fur cap.
n red. bulbous no, and shifty, eitspl

of hl wp In military fashion.
"And what is your business, gentle
men?" he asked.
"It li less business than gratitude,
raid Graden courteously. "We dave
made IhU little pilgrimage to thank the
producer of the LcmsJorf hams."
"You are not dealer, then?"
"No, but I "
Then take yourself off!"
Herr Drobln!"
"Go! clear out! to I net make mysell
plain?" ho cried, his limned face nod
ding In time to his violent gesticulations.
"I will have no spies about the place!"
Graden sprang out of the sleigh and
Mrede up to the angry farmer. For a
moment 1 thought there would be a
scrimmage; but the huge bulk of his an
lagonlst was not without It effect upoii
the German. I bow often noticed that
-reat Mature ha. a curiously soothing in
tliienec on the bad temper of au oppo-
ttAnt.
"Why did you call me a spy?" demand
ed my cousin.
"The peple auHt here gossip of wai
Mcret I !. he answered sulkily.
"iVhlps'they speak true: perhaps false
Who can axy? At least. I nc uo longer
ei fool: my eyes hare been opened. 'You
hare a good thing here. Herr Drobln.
There Is a great future before you, If
only you keep yonr knowledge to your
self.' said the Englishman to me. 'If
stranger come asking questions, they
will be spies: tnd them away.' It was
line advice he gave me; anyone can ee
that So bo off with you!"
"I am an Englishman myself. Herr
Drobln. May I ask my compatriot
name?"
"I do not rtmember."
"What. then, was be like?"
"I cantmt describe Mm."
"You are discreet, lierr Drobln. Come,
tinw, let us strike a bargain. I will
make a guess at your secret; If I am
right, you will tell me what you know
of this Knglishman."
The German started hack, staring at
Graden with little, bloodshot eyes. In
which surprise ami fury were oddly min
gled. Then, aide by side, they stepped
Into the shadow of the plues, whispering
"They are all liars. the Germans,"
Mid our driver confidentially, turning to
ine. "For myself, I am a VtAe."
"Yon beard what was Mid. Do you
know anything of thU English visitor to
Herr Drwblnr
"Most certainly, wine Herr. He was
of the name of Waketietd. He ha stay-
cd several night at the 'Golden Adler.'
For the rest, he ha been the guest of
111 hi who lived out there," and he made
a gesture down the road that we had
come.
A nameless fear took me by the throat
a fear of unknown possibilities. I
would have questioned thj- man more, but
nt that moment Groden and the farmer
emerged from the shadow of the pines.
The latter had abandoned lib truculent
manner. luderi, he seemed oddly ab
serv.eut A Graden teperi Into the
delicti, the man bowed low a curtsy,
which my cousin answered with a eurt
nod of dlsmkvsal.
"Drive oh!" he cried, and once more
we were ploughing oHr way back to the
l.enisdorf road.
"Did you ever study the properties of
the rout called madder, commonly known
a u dye?" asked my cousin suddenly.
"No."
"Then I must explaiu from the ttegin
ulne. It hi right that you should hear."
He pulled the flaps his deerstalker
cap aver hi oars Indeed, it was bitter
cwkl and settled himself amongst the
rng. I enugbt the outline of bis faee
a jaw net. the cheek drawn, the eye
bard ami keen, the whole purposemi ami
remorse!.
"When I was slicing the ham to-day,"
lie continued, "au odd thing happened
My knife struck the boue ami pa!
through It a If It had been putty. At
n second glance I noticed that the inte
rior of the sectlou so divided wn of a
hrounUh red. It set me thinking. I
began to remember certain facts. The
talk of the old servant concerning a
teoret held by the owner of the pig farm
nt Gran concentrated my suspicion, the
proximity of the dye-work confirmed
them. I wa almost certain of Herr
Drobln's secret before he charged me
with coming to steal It.
"Let mo explain. Madder Is a dye,
ag you know. Hut administered to man
.or benBt, It ha the curlou effect of
coloring aud pulping the bone to a grl
tie. It Is used sparingly on a few South
German pig farm, that the ham may
appear attractive when carved. lUrr
Drobln Introduced It into German IV
laud. He obtained tho root a he requir
ed It by arrangement with the dyo works.
'Perhaps their presenco suggested the
Idea to him.
"Whether or no Marnuc knew of tho
use of madder before be camo to Leras
dorf, I cannot tell. From my talk with
Drobln it would seem that hi visit to his
farm" was inoro or less of an accident.
Uut.welther way, the visit gave him the
weapon by which, ho 'might make a toad'
of bli enemy. That bitter criticism, you
jrtmfha sure, was for ever running In

lis diseased brain. The- practical details
'ie learned at the farm would help him In
what ho had undertaken. Ills advice
to that old German was it sound move,
leslgucd to cover his visits to the farm
And tho suspicions they might afterward
hive excited.
"HI method of getting Into touch with
Ms victim was simple. He Introduced
himself as an Knglishman by a letter
which be himself wrote In his capacity
of Heidelberg professor, well knowing
that the police had not made public their
suspicions of him. He assumed the name
of Wakefield the first that suggested
tself to him and the nationality of an
Kugllshman, for. as we know, he spoke
the language to perfection. He adminis
tered madder In some form until Mecher
sky grew 111; after which, In his position
.if medical attendant, the rest was easy.
He fled when he knew that the end of
the tragedy was at hand, thut every Inine
.if uls victim was fragile as thin glass.
Probably he caught n momentary gllmi"e

I hnve no hatred towards him. I feel to
hint as a man might feel towards a mad

men. women and children uf his village.
It Is the duty or the cttixen to run nis

"Where do we go now?' I asked.
"To the railway. We must gather
what news we can."
The winter night was falling drear

up to the station door. I scrambled out.

The station was empty at the moment
save for a distant corner where a man

advanced nt once upon him. When we
were a doxen feet away, he started up
ami faced ns.
It was Mossel. the lieutenant of the
HeideHurs police.
"Any luck, meln Herr?" M he to
Graden.
"What In the worhl are yon doing
here?" wa the atoUbl answer.
"Well, meln Herr. I thought you
knew something, and followed you. WhH

Tho great white English ferret will be
at work to-day searching for the rai.

Gradn skipped up to him and shook
him warmly by the bum!.
"Capital, Mossel. capital! Ami you

I have already told you ot me miiruy

Henry Graden, tho well-known scientist
and explorer, who wa then my guent nt
that uuiverslty. I have described the
steps that led to our following the mur
derer to Lemsdorf, In German Poland,
ami the mean by which he compassed
the death of the unfortunate Mechersky.
I have, nmreover, laid before you the evi
dence that led my cousin to neneve iimv
Maniac wa suffering from delusion,
ami that his extraordinary crime were
In revenge for certalu narsu criticism
of h book on which he had spent many
year of labor. In my last tntement I
traced the pursuit down to the tatlou

from the scene of hi revenge upon the
Husslau profesor, hail ueeu turneu one
from the railway by Mossel, the Heuten
unt of tho Heidelberg police, w hJ
followed tl to render usslsluuce. Mossel,
indeed, had waited by Manioc's luggage
for six hours, but the man himself had
failed to appear.
Tho winter's sun, chilled to a dusky
ball, was dipping buhiud the snow-clad
ridges to the eastward whou wo scrum
bled back Into the sleigh. As our tired
horses stumbled through the outskirts of
the straggling wooden town, me suauows
rushed across the sky as If flying tho pur
suit of the galo that shrieked amongst
the houses. Night had fallen.
Surely we bad him In our bands.

We hrtd decided to drive straight to our

Little had we thought that the being we
pursued, fresh from the murder of thn

be news of him nt the "Goldner Adler.
HesKi, the tall, handsome Pole, who had
about him mow of the feudal knight than

"You have had a bad drive, gentle

then, meln Herr, wa our surprise wheti
a little after 12 he reappeared, having
ridden Uek upon the sUHgh that had
taken his baggage to tho station! The

Graden glanced at Moel, who grin
ned luminously.
"Proceed, Mr. landlord," In mM.
"He had only peeped Into the station

demanded of me a sloigh u..o Kd
horses, but the lt I bad ere with
you, and It was necessary to send for
others from a neighbor. He wa very
Impatient of delay, using angry words.
At last he drove away, ami he has not
returned."
"Who went with him?"
"Ivan, my eldest son."
"Did be say wbre he wa going?"
- "No, meln Herr; only I heard him ery
to Ivan to follow the eastern road which
Is towards the IIumhih frontier."
"And while he walled for the horses,
what did he do
""A I have said, at first he abused me
roundly for the delay. Indeed, meln
Herr, I was surprised at bis knowledge,
of Geriimu. for before he had wkrn

himself, reading, In the best room."
"Please to show us there."
We trampl In single tile nfter the
landlord through the Ill-lit passages to
the "best room." a arbir rt nsble for
important guests. It w-iine.1 a pwullarly

purple aiitlmaiars. On the central
table stood a lamp, and beside It lay a
number of llio.e dingy IxHiks that seem
common to inn of all nations. Graded
made for them at once, and as he sorted
through the pile of time tables, cata
logue, ami trade Wers, we stood watch

In hi search with a little grunt of satis

sat down. I looked over hi shoulder.
He wa actually reading a German
ISswdeker!
"DoubilwH yon are planning n picnic

"I know you are tired and hungry, my
