HEllR' STEINHARDT'S NEMESIS
BY h MACLAREN COBBAN.
CHAPTER XIV Continued.
I had much ado to keep quiet, but I
did manage to hold my tongue. I had
my eyes fixed on him, however; as he
again turned to go, his eyes encountered
mine, and, I thought, fell before them.
In a moment we heard the door slam
behind him, and Louise sank sobbing
into a chair. It took all Eirley's ettoru
and mine to calm her. I think I must
have become very much engrossed with
my own efforts, for when at length
Louise sat composed and I turned to
Blrley, Birley was gone.
"You will not leave me," she said,
laying her hand -on mine, "till he
comes back?"
That touch precipitated feeling in
j me, and the confession which I had not
intended I should mass lor some iidio
yet. Considering the highly wrought
condition of the nerves of both of as, I
do not think it is surprising that we
should then have opened our hearts to
each other.
"I wish," I said, "that I need never
leave your side again.
On an impulse of shyness she tried
to withdraw her hand, tutl kept it and
she let it stay.
"Louise," I said, "do you know
what that roan meant when he accused
me of seeking to marry an heiress?"
"Yes," raid she, with hanging head
(the beautiful head), "I think I do.
He said something of the same to me
at Blackpool."
"And do you think," l nrgeu, "mat
if I told that heiress how I loved her,
how I had loved her and thought of her
from the first moment I bad seen her,
before I miessed that she might be an
heiress do you think if I said that, it
vnnld onlT be because I expected she
would be rich one day?"
"Oh, I do not think that at all!
But." she said, looking up with a
bright, uncertain smile (which was so
slnnine? so ravishing!) but I am
not an heiress."
"You mess. then, it is you I would
say this to? that it is yoa I love and

for him shall we not?"
We were thus talking when "dear

suspected the understanding we had
come to, but, like a kind and discreet

then.

fn the course of an intimate talk
with Louise which I hadJhat Sunday
I learned how near 1 had been to losing
ber while she was at Blackpool, where
her vigilant duenna had been a hard,
faithful old German servant of Stein
hardt's. It was only gradually that I
got to know all the anxiety, and even
terror, of those days of detention and
surveillance, but that day I heard to
my horror that the poor girl nad been
to wrought npon by Steinhardt's repre
sentations of her duty to her fathei,
of the heniougness of refusing to fulfil
what (Steinbardt declared) had been
his frequently expressed wish, that she
was on the point of accepting Frank for
a husband, when he and his father were
called away, the one home and the
other to London.
CHAPTER XV.
As I recall the final episodes oi my
story so far as they concern the arch-
villain Steinbardt, I am so affected
with a shuddering horror that I scarce
write legibly. Yet they have such a
fascination that I am drawn to the de
scription of them, to the risk of omit-
ting one or two matters of quieter inter
est, which are yet vital to my story,
These 1 must dispose of. Wednesday
and Thursday passed away, and the
Friday arrived, which to think of even
now makes me tremble. It was a dar
ins; experiment we were about to at'
tempt, and so very little would make
t
:
ridiculous! I bad taken partly to my
confidence the big son of the landlady
(a staunch Lancashire lad of the old
breed). With him I went through the
slides of my tory several times, and
showed him how to manage them with
effect.
The evening came and I was almost
sinking under excitement. The place
cvf entertainment was that public hall
in which Freeman had de'ivered his
famous lecture. The kind of thing wa
rather new in the village, and there
was a crowded attendance of work peo
ple, especially of Steinhardt's own.
Steinhardt, with his wife and son, sat
right In front, where the refiectioon
from the sheet fell full upon him.
When the light, were turned, some out
and others low, Freeman and I crept up
behind the sheet, where I waited with
trembling pulse and sudden creeping
chills till the, to me, uninteresting
part of the entertainment came to an
end. The curate acted as lecturer, and
explained with fluency what the views
meant, or told 'something about the
places represented. I cannot tell what
it was about. At length his series of
view and his lecture were finished.
There was a moment's pause to me a
wild throb of anxiety and then the bass
voice ot the manager of the lantern
boomed forth the annoucement; "A
Lacashire Mystery." Without another
word the first picture tame upon the
sheet (I crept to its corner to watch
Steinhardt). It was two men in an
attitude of quarrel, surrounded by col
ored vapors. The second followed
quickly without a word of explanation;
the same two men the one half suffo
cated, struggling to get out of a vat or
bath of vapors, while the other, with
mouth muffled, held him down. Still
no word of explanation. Rapidly
came the third picture the man one
Iving dead and dyed before the other,
and beside an open box. Awful whis
pers began to stir among the spectators,
who were the more impressed no doubt
by the silence amid which the pictures
appeared. I ventured to peep at Stem-
hard; he was gazing fixedly, w ith part
ed lips. The fourth picture called
forth an instantaneous cry of horror; it
was, perhaps, too realistic. The dead
body lay stripped and quartered before
the living man, w ho stooped over it. I
fancied that at this sight I heard a low
moan from the front bench, but on
glancing at Steinhardt I saw bim sit
ting as before, as if lixed as much by
utter astonishment as by horror. The
next picture rapidly blotted out the
gruesomenesj of the other; the portions
of the body lay wrapped in three can
vas packages, and the man stood by as
if pondering. Quickly came the next;
the man digging near a ruined build
ing, with the three packages by bini
"Th' owd spinning mull" some one
exclaimed aloud ; I had not thought the
resemblance was so recognizable. That
was almost immediately succeeded by
the same view of the mill, with the
packages gone, the bole covered in, and
the man standing as if pulling a rope
which passed over the top of the wall
"The devil!" exclaimed Steinhardt,
starting suddenly to his feet. But he
recollected himself, and sat down again
At once the last picture of all flashed
upon the sheet; the wall lay flat on the
ground, and the man ctood by with the
loose rope in his hand!
Dp started Steinhardt, and strode
down the room, amid an ominous
silence, to where the big Dick stood by
his apparatus.
"Where the devil," I heard him ex
claim, dd those horrible pictures
come from? They were not among the
lot I bought! Come, nod d nonsense!
You must tell me where you got them.
Who gave them to you?
There was now a wild hubbub of
talk. Dick, I was sure, had refused to
tell him anything about them. In the
midst of this the lights flashed forth
again, and the people began tlowly to
disperse, with hushed but earnest
speech. Freeman and I slipped out by
a side door.
I went straight to Jaques s cottage
There I found Birley. In low, anxious
voices we began to discuss what would
he (meaning Steinhardt) do now.
Louise wished she had been there, and
Birley had just said it was as well she
had not, when a heavy foot rapidly ap
proached, the latch was noisily raided,
the door was dashed open, and Stein
hard stood before us.
"Soh!" he exclaimed, glaring at Bir
ley and me, "I have found you, sneaks
and cowards! You think with your
fool's tricks and your pictures you will
annoy me, and spoil me! fin! lou
aie nothing! you are beggars! you
are dirt! I will have you, Sir Parson,
arrested for making calumnious charges
against me! How in his fary bad he
committed himself 1
"Herr btemhardt, said I, at once,
' the pictures, so far as I heard, were
unaccompanied by a single word of
comment, except what they drew from
the people, and no one could say that
the figures represented were likenesses.
But your guilty, black heart has charged
you. As ii says, I say: - "You are the
murderer of your partner, Mr. Lacroix,
and his remains will now be found se
curely locked, whence you can't remove
them, under that fallen wall!"
His jaw dropped, and bis great body
trembled for a moment, then as with a
sudden impulse of fury he made as if
he would crunch me with a bearish
hug, when Birley came between ns
Come, Manuel, none of that. As
I told you, you'e not yet done with law
and Lancashire. You d better go
home, or go to our experiments."
"Fool!" he cried, still glaringat me
"Idiot! What scrap of proof have you
of the ridiculous charge yoa make?"
"For one thing I have proof that Mr
Lacroix, before he went to you at the
works, called here to see his old
uncle."
"Soh! Has the old idiot found his
tongue at last then?"
We we all amazed, bteinnarat as
much as any, at the electrical effect of
this npon the old man. I had casually
noticed tbronghont the scene that he

This be eeuli sot do, but with light'

stood and stared open-eyed, when 1

him to go.
Go, "Manual; go. man!" urged
Birley, holding th door open.
Steinhardt went without a word, and
the old ran fell back In his chair and
was soon rigid ia death.
CIUriER XVI.
Birley remained that night tt the
cottage. When I left to return to my
lodgings I was surprised, even for the
moment territled, to see lights across
the stream, hovering about th spot
which I knew was the temporary grave
of Mr, Lacroix. Ia the moving light
I presently saw figures; I heard sounds,
too the sound ot a pickaxe.
"They are breaking Into the, gravel"
I exclaimed to myself, and resolved I
would go and
I hurriedly picked my way round to'
the place. About the fallen wall the
gigantic tomb-slab of Lacroix, which a
brawny pu-kman, naked to the waist,
was hewing at there stood, la silent,
stolid expectation, a crowd of thirty or
forty men and lads, with two or three
women with shawls over their head.
Many ot the men were in the colored
garb of the chemical works.

nees as my lad raved about.
So my connection with the pictures
bad been discovered.
In silence the hewer picked the
bricks loose, pausing now and then to
let a comrade throw the debris aside.
Soon a space was cleared, and he began
carefully to pick into and loosen the
toil. A shovel was brought into requi
sition, and the earth and rubbish were
