HER STEINIIARDrS NEMESIS
BY J. MAOAREN COBBAN,
CHAPTER XVI Continued.
There wi no suspicion, then, that
the retnaini were those of their own
master! What could I doT Had I
broken my promise to raulein Hubs?
Wai I helping even now to make pub
lic Steinhardt' crime? Was I not
standing assenting by while terrible
vengeance was threatened on the for
eigner in the deep, slow Lancashire
speech? I felt helpless in the crisis; I
permitted myself to be borne along
whither it might carry me.
In a Tory few minutes the canvas
packages, dropping almost to pieces,
were out of the ground and laid in
silence on a band barrow. In silence
the improvised bier was taken up be
tween two men, and as it was carried
away attended by the lanterns the
crowd, as by instinct, formed in proces
sion behind. I was surprised to find
myself in front of this strange funeral
procession and tlose to the bier. Thus
in silence we marched away from the'
rained mill through the tortuous and
treacherous ways which led to the vil
lage. "He's got an experiment on hand to
night, they say," remarked one in a
low voice.
"Ay," said another; "and there's a
night shift on of five or six."
As we entered upon the paved main
street of the village, the regular clank
of the clogs of our procession was suffi
cient of itself to attract attention.
But though it was very late, the streets
were alive with people, not noit-y, a
might have been expected on a wake
night, but earnest and occcupied. It
was a novel, but true, "Timperley
Wakes," for the whole population
teemed astir. Our procession created
little or no surprise; 'it appeared to
have been expected. We were greeted
with no speech or cries. I but heard
now and then fearful whispers of "Who
is it?" and "They cannot tell yet."
Many of the crowd fell into the proces
sion as it slowly panted up the street.
There was no tavern open at that late
hour to which the bier could be taken
for examination, so it was carried to
the door of the public hall which was
soon opened, lit up, and full of people,
as it had been earlier in the evening.
I have no clear recollection of what
followed. I appealed to them not to
open the packages', I knew who it was,
' But I got only the obstinate, hut re
spectful answer, "Yea, parson, but we
raun." The package! were opened;
but I know only I had a horrible vision
of a ghastly head with black hair and
beard.
"Good L d!" I heard more than one
exclaim. "It's th' mister!?"
His men had recognized Mr. Lacroix.
Hurried and fierce consultations were
held, to which I was not invited, and
upon which I did not force myself. In
few minutes the whole crowd, except
few who remained to watch over the
ghastly reins ins, marched out of the
hall as if with settled purpose. I ac
companied them with no purpose at all
of my own; my will seemed absorbed
in that of the crowd. We were on our
way down the village street, when I
was startled by the church bell begin
ning to toll: some venturesome spirit
had forced his way into the tower.
To explain what followed I must
mention here that for some weeks many
of the work people, the younger folk
especially, had been under the influ
ence of those hysterical, revivalintic
teachings which have always taken
such hold of the ignorant and the half
educated. A contingent of the f-ulva-tion
Army had held the village foi
some time, preaching fire and sword,
the terrible justice of God, and the
pains of everlasting torment to the un
believing. This kind of doctrine accord
ed well with the grim, tenacious Lanca
shire character, and the army had won
a good many recruits among the vil
lagers. . These were well represented in
the crowd I accompanied
Before I quite knew where we were
we had halted at the gates of the chem
ical works. Without a word the fore
most of the crowd knocked. There
was, of course, no answer, and they
knocked again. While we waited I lis
tened mechanically to the talk which
those about me began in their slow
fashion to indulge in.
"God Almighty," said one, "is ter
rible to a wicked man like him!"
"Yea," said another, "and wicked
lie isl You mind what Muster Free
man told us that time; it's the likes
of Steenhardt has made us such sinnen
as we are, and has made our place what
it is! An' he connot do wi'out mur
dering his partner, poor man!"
"He'll ha' his proper death for it,
sure as God's true!" raid a third.
"Yea,"eaul the first, "and God's
wrath will not wait for a terrible sin
ner like him!"
In a little while there was the sound
of bolts being drawn, and the watch
man appeared at the side gate. When
he saw the crowd he would have shut
it again, but he was prevented, Sev
eral entered that way and 0ned wide
the great gates. The crowd entered
without commotion, and marched ahead
as if it knew its destination. From a
shed filled with glowing vapors, came
half a dozen workmen the night shift,
I supposed. They met their comrades
and demanded what was to do. They
were answered by the man who had
insisted to me that the packages must
be examined.
"What's to do?" he said. "Yo" dp
not know? We mun ha that murder
ing villain, Steenhardt, out; yea, but
we mun What's he done? He's been
and murdered horribly poor Master
Larroiks vo' shall hear a' about it.
And now, by the vengeance of God
Almighty on the wicked which cannot
wait, he mun be done for this night as
he did for his partner!"
"For God's sake!" I exclaimed.
"Don't think of such a, thing! It will
be murder, aa certainly as his crime
was!"
But my remonstrance was not heed
ed; I was put aside respectfully, but
firmly. The crowd pressed on toward
the laboratory. They had not advanced
far in that direction, when an explosion
burst upon the air, stunned ns all, and
threw the foremost to the ground.
Many ran away, others went forward
I with thet last. It did not take long
to discover that the explosion had come
from the laboratory, from the broken
roof of which rose strange vapors. A
little work, and removal of debris, and
Steinhardt was 'discovered st etched on
the floor, a discolored and blasted
wreck! It was an anful siht! Here,
in bis own cherished sanctuary, had
the vengeance of God leaped forth at
him from beneath his own hands; for
a smashed iron retort, which he had
been manipulating, Ky close by him!
His strong nerves hod been shaken by
th approach of the crowd. I
"I came to tell him." said the wntch
man in hushed voice, ''that th' crowd
was in. He said, 'Go-to th' devil, and
leave me alone!' and I was just gone
away when th' explosion came."
My story is in effect finished. But
for the satisfaction of those who would
like to see the loose ends of its web
taken up and tied I must add a page or
two.
After legal process of identification
and inquest, the ghastly remains of the
two partners, Lacroix and BteWihardt,
the victim and his murderer, were
buried, the one with his jincle in the
family tomb, the other in the obscure
unconsecrated ground of the church
yard. This done, the affairs of the
firm were wound up.
In the necessary examination of all
rapers some letters and documents were
found in a small safe in Bteinhardt's
"study" at Timperley Hall, which mf
ficientlv explain what still needs ex
planation in the Lacroix mystery the
substantial ground of offense on which
the partners met on that fatal night,
and the unwavering resolution of Stein
hardt to get Louise married to his son.
The letter which came first in order of
date made clear one side at least of the
quarrel. It was from Lacroix to' Stein
hardt, and was dated "Paris, March
3rd, 1882." It was evidently in reply
to one from Steinha'dt, containing a
proposal affecting Louise what pro
posal will readily be guessed. This
Mr. Lacroix warmly declined to enter
tain, and begged it would not again be
.mentioned.
"My'daughter," he wrote, "is prom
ised to her cousin, the Count De La
croix. As for the 20,000 pounds dam
ages, that must be reckoned a joint bus
iness loss; there can surely be no doubt
about that. I hope we have done for
the future with playing tricks with that
patent."
The next letter, of date several days
later, was of great interest, at least to
Louie and me. It was stained and
blurred as with some liquid dye; it bad
douhtless been taken by Steinhardt
from Lacroix's person after death. It
was addressed to "Mmlle De Lacroix;"
it was wiitten on fine "foreign" paper
with crest and motto, and contained
many gallant and polite, expressions of
the Count De Lacroix s devotion to hi
lovely cousin whom, he said, he hoped
to come and see in the summer. How
was it he had never come? never even
been heard of?
These questions were answered by a
second letter from the count, dated in
May, 1882, and addressed to Mr. La
croix, and by the postscript of a letter
of about the same date, written in Gor
man though from Paris, and addressed
to Steinhardt. The count's letter ex
cused him to his "dear uncle" from
paying his proposed visit; he was tco
ill to think of leaving France. The
letter to Steinhardt was evidently from
a compatriot. It was mainly about
business affairs; its matter of interest
for us was squeezed into a corner:
"You ask me about the Count De La
croix. I learn he is still busy killing
himself with absinthe.
Lastly came the astonishing commu
nication of all. It was dated several
months later, in the November, I think,
of 1882. It was from a Paris lawyer,
who evidently had the management of
the De Lacroix affairs. In a few w.ords,
'it informed Mr. Lacroix that the young
Count-Honore was dead, and saluted
Count Paul, his successor! ("Le roi
est mort; vive lo roi." And the con
gratulated count was dead too! With
this letter were tied up two or three
legal documents, of wh.:h I cannot at
tempt much account, though they are
now in my possession. They were a
copy of certificate of the death of Hon
ore Marie Antoinette, Count De La
croix, and certain papers showing of
what the De Lacroix property consisted
chateau, estates and rents and with
them, finally, a later note from the
lawyer to Steinhardt, who had evi
dently apprised him of Mr. Lacroix's
"disappearance," and of the half-fact
that in the meanwhile he was guardian
of Paul's heiress.
"By George!" exclamed Birley, when
we had made this discovery, "hut
'Manuel was a tough schemer! He was
determined to set his lad up as a
French count, with a chateau and all
the rest o't!"
I ventured to doubt whether Louise's
husband would be Count De Lacroix,
though Louise certainly was the inher
itrix of the chateau and the rest.
"Do you mean to tell me, then, the
lass is not a countess?" he exclaimed.
that I could not declare, though I
was certain no handsomer or sweeter
countess could be found in the whole
wide world.
"True for you, my lad," said he;
"and you're in the luck of it."
Birley was eager to go home at once
to tell Louise all about it (she was
again established in his house, with
Mrs. Steinhardt). He wished me to
go with him to assist in the explana
tion ; I endeavored to excuse myself,
but in vain.
"Come, lad," said he, "I can see
what you're thinking. Keep a stiffer
back, man; do not you be so shy your
self. See tha I saw a duke once a
great Scotch duke and he was the
crahbedest-looking tailor-body ever you
saw in all your life. If you cannot
mak' a better count, once you get nsed
to it, than he made a duke, I'll eat my
hat. lad!"
"Ah, ha!" cried Birley, in his cheery
voice, "I have a word to say unto thee,
my lady!"
"Which of ns do you mean, Mr.
Birley?" she atked.
"Which of you? Well, Sglly might
have had to do with it, but aa it hap
pens she hasn't. I mean thee, my lady
countess."
"Countess?" she exlaimed. "Why,
what has amused you, Mr. Birley?"
"I do not quite know," said I, wish
ing to get the explanation over, "that
Mr. Birley is right tocall you countess,
but we have found evidence that your
cousin the count is dead, and that you,
being next in succession, inherit the De
Laroix chateau and other property.
You are a great French heiress, Louise,
whether you are countess or not."
"Me?" she cried. "Oh, what
strange thing is this?"
Birley sat down and entered into ex
planation, while I withdrew to the
window.
"So, my lady," concluded Birley,
"there you are, and we are all thy
humble, obedient servants."
I was astonished to see her hide her
face in her han Is, and burst into tears.
"I do not wish at all," she cried,
"to be countess, or to be anything but
what I am! And yon want all to put
me far away from you! I do not wish
to have their chateau and their rents''
"Louise," I said, "let tu confess to
you that I have been thinking I ought
to give yon up to give you back the
promise you gave me, belore either yon
or I guessed you were the great lady we
now know you are! It was terrible,
terrible to think I ouglft to do it, but
but-, ah, Louite, what must I do?"
"You still love me, then, at much as
yon did? But why should ' you not?
Am I not the same Louise? I do not
fe.-l that chateau and rents make it
unnece sary that you should love me!'
" Then you do not " J '
'Ah, hush!" she cried, stopping y
mouth with her hand. "You must
not say such things! It is wicked!
B it, I know you did not doubt me! I
know! I know!"
Shall I go on? What need is there?
Surely every reader may guess the rest
that Louise De Lacroix is now known
to the world as Mrs. Gerald Unwin
to me as the dear partner of all life's
joys, and cares, and duties, the tender
and faithful heart who has put away
vh the terrors and shadows of the past
and cherishes only the lessons of hu
mility, faith, patience and duty which
it has taught.
"What," some may ask in conclusion
"about Frank Steinhardt, and hie little
sweet-voiced school-mistress?"
Frank was more of a musician than
a chemical dye manufacturer. The
chemical works were, therefore, sold,
and Fiank and Mrs. Frank are now
known in musical circles, he as a
pianist, and she as a Binger of repute.
I cannot end without a word con
cerning the strange woman whose vis
ions played so great a part in the eluci
dation of the Lacroix mystery poor
Fraulein Haas. I put off as long as I
could the unwelcome task of informing
hrr of Steinhardt's death. When at
length I did write I told her in few
words that a retort had burst upon him
while he wa engaged upon an experi
ment, and had killed him at once.
Soon after I had written I was surprised
to receive a note from her, containing
only these words:
."I knew it. It x Coi's doing."
THE EOT.
A PLEA FOR THE HOME.
It Is Necs earT for Character-Bnlld
- tng, Bare BUhop Potter.
In an article In the Woman's Horn
Companion Bishop Potter discusses the
passing of the home lu our large cities,
and dwells on the fact that In many
cases children are brought up by ser
vants rather than by parents. Here la
his conclusion:
"If there Is no longer to be nuy home
life, any home circle and home sacri
fices for the dear home's sake, then we
need not be In any uncertainty as to
what we shall have to anticipate. You
cannot make character by means of a
governess, a tutor and a groom.
"And meantime let the young found
ers of homes make a resolute beginning.
You are looking forward to marriage
and the fouudlng of a family, my young
brother, or you, my dear girl, whom
may God bless and guide always! Re
solve to have some law for the home,
and to give Bonie regular und sufficient
time. In It to your children. If we are
'to recover out of Its well-nigh ist ej.
tate the beautiful and gracious Insti
tution of the home, we must make the
business of doing so something of set
purpose and of definite plan. All the
way from the top to the bottom of our
vast and complex social structure
In the life of the wage-earner and In
that of the capitalist, the clerk, the pro
fessional man, the mechanic that an
cient and divine Institution must be
lifted to Its true place and held In Its
rightful honor. Schools, gymnasia,
bathing-houses, recreation-piers, li
braries, model tenements, better food,
ventilation, Impreved saultary condi
tions, and the like, are all of value In
their place; but that which makes men
and women for God oud huuinulty, and
tha better service of their lund and age,
la first of all the personal touch of some
strong and tender haud In tlie home.
'God setteth the solitary in families,'
wrote the Psalmist long ago. Let us
respect His order and follow His way,
'Home, Sweet Home' Is said to have
been written by a lifelong wanderer
who never had one. It is an Immortal
witness to the deep and Inextinguisha
ble hunger of the human heart."
A Green Blackboard.
A "blackboard" of green artificial
slate, which, it is claimed, is more
restful to the eye than the old boards,
has been invented by A. W. Parshall
and was first adopted by the public
schools in Little Hock, Ark. In fuct,
many large cities have utilized this
new invention and oculi-ts give it the
highest recommendation. It is believed
that children with weak eyes ore often
subjected to serious personal injury
through the constant use of black
boards, which are known to he injurious
to the eyes. Green is nature's color
tnd is naturally restful to the eye'.
So far the invention has met with
favor among those who have experi
mented with it.
The Scepter.
The scepter was the emblem of pow
er. As the silver wand, so familiar in
caihedrals, was once hollow, containing
the "virge," or rod with which chas
tisement was inflicted upon the choris
ters and younger n:emlers of the foun
dation, so the royal scepter represented
the right to inflict punishment. Hence
the ixpn'ssion, "to sway the scepter,"
implied the holding of regal dignity.
The scepter with the dove possessed the
additional signification of the Holy
Ghost, as controlling the actions of the
sovereign. The same idea was con
veyed by Rheims by the benitiful cere
mony of letting loose a nnmlier of doves
at the coronation of the French kings.
Good Words.
Precedent Established.
A beginner in newspaper work in a
southern town who occasionally "sent
stuff" to one of the New York dailies,
picked up last summer what seemed to
him' a "big story." Hurrying to the
telegraph ottice he "queried" the tele
graph edit r: "Column story so and
so. Shall I tend?" The reply was
brief and prompt, but to the enthusiast
unsati-fsi tory. "Send tiOO words" was
all it said. "Can't tie told in lest
than 1,200," he wired ba k. Before
long the reply came: "Story of crea
tion of world told in 600. Try it."
Sew York Post.
A Cjve at Tortures.
An interesting discovery has been
made at the island of Capri, in the
shape of an underground vault in
which the Kmperor Tiberius used to
confine the victims of his displeasure
prior to their being thrown into the
sea. The walls are covered with in
scriptions, some of w hich go to snow
that among those immured subsequent
