1IERR STEINIIARDT'S NEMESIS !
BY I. MACLAREN COBBAN.
CHAPTER XIII Continued.
"What is it?" he demanded; his
tone was not loud, but hip, eyca seemed
standing out as with suppressed rage
"what is it you two are together for?
What can you do? You have nothing!
money, influence, nothing!"
"No, 'Manuel," said Birleyj "you've
grabbed thorn all."
"Is it," said he, glaring at me,
"that you you a beggarly curate!
want, expect to marry an heiress, the
heiress of an old family? I have said
before that she is not an heiress that
she has no money, and that she is not
for you, sir!" i
"I have reason," I said, "to believe
that lierr Steinhardt does nt always
speak the truth."
"Pouf! You are insolent as well!
An insolent beggar is not to be borne!
And so you have got, too, this reckless
old man to abet you in your tricks and
schemes! What for is it," he de
manded of Birley, "that you have set
yourself to go agiiinst me in this?"
"Partly, 'Manuel," answered Birley,
"because I have gradually got con
vinced you are the biggest villain un
hung, and partly because I like this
lad Unwin. As for tricks and
schemes " '
"Pifft You are foolish as well as
reckless."
"I fay, as for tricks and schemes I
may have an account to settle with you
of that eort, before I have done, but
not tonight." .
"Not tonight! After tonight you
will be more completely nothing than
you have been yet! I will destroy you
both! You shall be beggars both,
without hope, without reputation!"
"These are brave words, 'Manuel,
and I know you will carry them out, if
you can ; I know you can make me a
beggai, but I think Unwin is pretty fit
tc give an account of himself yet, and
nf vnn. too. 'Manuel, if it comes to
that. But, see, you'd better go horned
for it's Sunday morning, ana you re
frightening the poor girl there."
This careless dismissal must have
been especially exasperating to a man
like Steinhardt. He was almost beside
himself, yet he still held his fury down.
"You are beggars, sneaks and cow
ards both!" be exclaimed.
"Nay, but," said Birley, now roused,
and approaching to urge the necessity
of a speedy departure, "if we begin
calling names we may have the better
of it, but not tonight. Come, 'Manuel,
yon must gol"
reluctantly withdrawing,
when he and we also were startled, by
Louise exclaiming with " outstretched
hands . ,
"Wlmre is mv father, you wicked
man? What have you done with him?
Wliarn have vou Dut him?
He paused a moment to set his face,
and then turned again to look at her.
ri oirl is crone mad!" he said.
"Does she think I am her father's
keeper? Where have I put him! Have
I got him in my pocket do you think?'
Th knnwledee of this, it may be
guessed, did not make me feel any
the less bitterly wwara ow'"""""1
CHAPTER XIV.
n Mnnrtnv morning the whole
-ikt.nrhnnii wu alive with the
.... that Mr. Birley wag "to be
sold up." An execution had been put
Into his house under a bill of sale, and
an agent or auctioneer person (acting
of course by instruction) had stuck
notices announcing a sale of "furni
ture and effects" on boards in the
front-earden. Steinhardt knew there
would be no redemption of the hill,
but In his haste to be as peremptory
with his old friend as possible he had
overlooked the fact that by an act
which had come in force in the be
ginning of that year, he was bound
to give Birley five days' opportunity
to cay off the bill. Birley, therefore,
TiiiifkBrt tin the notice boards ana
threw them into the lane, and then
went and talked to the man in pos
session. But that afternoon I had business
of my own on hand: 1 naa aeier
mined to settle to my own satisfac-
tlon the exact spot Indicated by
Frauleln Haas's vision as that where
Lacroix's remains were interred. I
mentioned the ruined mill in the be
ginning of this story, which occupied
part of a dreadfully littered little pe
ninsula formed by a curve of the
stream. More than one of Its walls
had fallen, but I had particularly no
ticed frequently in passing, and had
wondered at one wall which lay as
tint as the walls of Jericho; It seemed
from the public side of the stream to
cohere as completely as when it naa
been standing, except at Its outer
erleeg where the bricks were Broken
and dislocated. This I suspected was
the wall; and I was resolved to visit
it to see whether I could make sure
my suspicion wag correct.
To get to the mill I had to pass
round to the head of the peninsula (I
wondered whether Steinhardt had
tnken that route on his journey with
his horrible burden, or whether he
had boldly forded the stream opposite
one of the side gates to the grounds
of his works). This led me between
two old rattling mills of some sort
past piles of lumber broken wagons
and fragments of old machinery rust
ing away past some flourishing pig
sties, constructed of old boards and
old sacks. I had to pick my way very
carefully, for it was beset with gul
lies and holes worn out by rain tor
rents, and with entrenchments of cin
ders and "clinkers." At length I
came out upon the open space round
the mill. I approached the wall with
a shuddering but fascinated sense. In
the middle of it. toward the .edge
which had been the top, was a bolted
iron plate, answering exactly to the
requirements of Frauleln Haas's vis
Ion. My eye was at once attracted to a
part of the wall, near Its base, which
was altoeother unlike the rest. Most
of the wall was as bare of anything
like vegetation as a mill-wall com
monly is, but this part was covered
with a fine yellowish-green fungus on
the bricks, and grass in the mortar of
the interstices. This, I was satisfied,
was the Bpot. Under these bricks
had lain, for eighteen months, the
mutilated remains of the unfortunate
Lacrolx, probably at no great depth;
hence the eagerness of Steinhardt to
cover them with so wldespreadlng a
tomb-slab as this fallen wall, and
hence, also, probably, this traitorous
growth of green. As I looked, I won
dered how ni :ch Steinhardt would
give now to be able to move his Ti
tanic tombstone and remove his dead!
The wall was too secure a covering!
It was the grand mistake of a strong,
resolute and origlnl criminal! the
enormous blunder of the bold, uncom
promising villain, entirely confident
In his security against every risk of
discovery!
I hurriedly withdrew to consider
my course of action. I began to find
that I was in an awkward dilemma.
My promise to Fraukln Haas forbade
a public examination of that spot, yet
how could my promise to Ixnilse, that
her father's remain should be prop
erly Interred how could that be ful
filled without the discovery becoming
nubile? There was another point
which gave me pause: suppose this U
rude grave broken into, and Its con
tents identified as the remains of Mr.
Lacrolx, how could I show that Stein
hardt had burlod them? How, then,
could I bring the crime home so as to
move him as I desired?
I resolved to go to Freeman, and
talk the difficulty over with him. I
had seen little of my friend since his
return from London; he had been
much from home on some business
of his denomination. He did not even
know yet of the successful result of
our inquiry upon old Jaques.
I found him in his study, in wnicn
he was always most at ease. In ac
cordance with his request I posted
him "up to date" in my doings and
discoveries from the finding or tne
French papers in Jacque's cottage,
through the revelations at Basel, to
the discovery I had made a few min
utes before. He was most impressed
with my account of the visions of
Frauleln Haas. He was something of
a mystic, of the pseudo-scientific kind
well known in these latter days, and
he would turn his attention to no oth
er point till he had found an explana
tion of the Franleln's eTDerlences.
His explanation at least satisfied him
self, and it certainly was very plaus
ible. He described the phenomena
as "magnetic clairvoyance.' Here,
said he, were two people who had at
one time been deeply Interested' In
each other, one of whom (the more
sympathetic subject) still thought
much of the other: the one was high
ly nervous, the other was strong
willed. The strong-willed person was
In an extraordinary difficulty, in
which he had to put a resolute strain
upon all his resources of mind and
body and memory. In his casting
about In his excited mood for aid to
remove his difficulty, he might well
have thought, "If she were here!
she "who has been of all bplnss the
most devoted to me! Or. if I were
only with her. rid of this horrible
business!" This Btrong wishing, this
"reaching out of spirit" for her,
would sink to a mere nothing when
the difficulty of the time was once
settled, and the bond of attraction
would sink loose and lifeless, till It
was drawn tense again, and thrilled
again with vigor when his need of her
returned upon him with a new diffi
culty. Thlg would account for Frau
leln Haas's feeling of beinst drawn as
if away from herself at those times
when she had her visions.
This explanation made, he was
ready to turn with me to more press
ing points. He could not see, how
ever, any more than I could, that I
was at present likely to effect any
thing with Steinhardt by private
threats of the disclosure of my knowl
edge, by anything, Indeed, but a pub
lic investigation and even that might
do little more than create a public
scandal. '
"You see," said Freeman, "you have
absolutely nothing yet of a reliable
kind that can point even circumstan
tially to Steinhardt as the murderer."
I could not but agree with him, ana
assent to his advice to "wait." In
the meantime Steinhardt must he per
mitted to pursue his vindictive con
duct toward our dear old friend Bir
ley, and his chances of causing fur
ther annoyance and anxiety to Miss
Lacrolx. Our helplessness in the .mat
ter chafed severely both Freeman and
myself.
"Is there no way at all,"I exclaim
ed, "but the way of evidence to bring
the crime home to him? to really
satisfy ourselves that the crime Is
his, and to make him feel that we
know it is?"
"Have you any objection," said he,
rising as if anticipating I would have
none, to take my wife into counsel.
She sometimes has a clear idea in
her head.".
I said I certainly would like Mrs.
Freeman to consult with us, and in a
few moments she was sitting oppo
site .me. I told her the whole mat
ter, and pointed out the difficulty of
the situation.
"So," said she, "you want to get at
some way of bringing it home to
him, as you say. If, now, you could
only hit upon something like Ham
let's play to catch the King."
"Ah, yes, Hamlet!" we both ex
claimed. This was our first formative hint,
and I need not describe in detail how
from that, through aimless-seeming
discussion, and wild suggestion of one
sort and another, a plan was at
length developed. I shall but state
the result.
Friday and Saturday of that very
week were the days of what are
known as Tlmperley Wakes. They
had in the past, I understood, been
celebrated with wild oreles of drink
ing, "mumming," and dancing round
and through bonfires. But this "pass
ing through the fire to Moloch" was
no longer a -pastime of the people; it
had become the dull dally occupation
of their lives. The only orgies now
known . were drinking and fighting,
and spending small sums at tne
booths of the fair. The church had
for some years exerted Itself to pro
vide other recreation for some at
least of the people. In accordance
with this usage there was advertised
for Friday evening a mild tea enter
tainment, to be followed by "Grand
Dissolving Views," which last Free

ORIGIN OF RAG TIME.
Ben Harney Sold to Have Invented
it and Its Name at Louisville.
"The approuchlug end of rag time
suggests the true story of the origin of
the name," said a music publisher, "It
bus never been printed. About teu
years ago a young fellow named Ben
Harney went to a party given by color
ed folks In a suburb of Louisville.
While he was there two darkles, who
were experts on the banjo, began play
ing. "While they were playing Harney no
ticed that the rliytlitn produced by the
two banjos was peculiar, but very"
catchy. So after a while, when called
upon to play something, Harney ran
his angers carelessly over the keys of
the piauo and tried to Imitate the time
made by the two bunjos.
"At first he failed, but before the
night had passed he had acquired the
time and kept the crowd entertained
with snatches from populur songs play
ed 111 this fashion. One of the darkles
who had performed on the banjo be
came suddenly interested iu Harney's
playing. Approaching Haruey be in
quired: " 'Marsa Ben, wha' am yo' playln'
dnr? Dat am de funniest klu' ob tuue
1'se ebber heerd.'
"'I don't know what It is myself,"
replied Harney, in an offhand way. 'I
suppose If I bad a dress 'suit on, like
some of these actors at the show, I
might give it a nice, fashionable name.
But as it is I can't think of any name
In these nigs and you will have to let
It go at tbnt.
"The durkey sized Harney from head
to foot. Harney's clothes were ueat
and fitted him well. The negro
thought the argument a poor one and
said:
" 'What's the dlffruuce wha' kin' ob
rags yo' plays in, Marsa Ben? Yo' kin
alius git er name fo' It. I'se tells yer
Marsa Ben, dat Ah alu' very much lu
lobe wld dat tune."
"About a wek later there was an
other party in the neighborhood. Har
ney was present and had to play. The
two banjo players were also there and
they thumped away together, playing
all sorts of tunes. The same darkey
who a week previous wanted to know
the name of the measure Ben was play
ing abruptly arose and, turning to the
guests with a merry laugh, said:
" 'Ladles an' ge'man, Marsa Ben
Harney has got some ob de most pe
cullarlst kin' ob music dat I cber heerd
afo'. Ah' I'se begs yo' kin' 'dulgence
fo' t' hyar It. I'se don' know de name
ob de tune, but It am de lobllest I'se
ebber heerd.'
"Ben thought the remark very funny
and replied: 'What do you mean, Jas
per? That music I played In those
rags last week?'
" 'Yes,' returned Jasper enthusiastic
ally, 'dat "rag-time" music
"Well, after that rag-time became the
real thing In the town, and when Har
ney came east he Introduced It In New
York, and It soon was the rage all over
the country. And the name rag-time
has clung to it ever since." New York

"By George," said a man who was
riding to the city In an early train. "I
detest people who are so positive about
tverytblng."
"It Is a disagreeable habit." the pas
senger who sat next to bin) admitted,
"and it always pleases me to see such
people confronted with proofs that tbey
are In the wrong."
"Yea, It doea me, too. My wife's cou
sin has been vlsitlug us for several
days, and he's one of those know-it all
fellows. You can't tell blm suylliln.

"No; be aat there right at my own
table, and argued with me for twenty

know what I was talking about Such
peuple make me weary."
"Why didn't you get a French dic
tionary and prove to blm tbat be was
wrong?"
"Oh, I looked It up yesterday and
found that t was mistaken myself; but
what make me mad la the fact that b
was so positive about It
