"I will teli you everything, and help fan to bring the murderer of my poor mistress to justice, but I dont know any one who would have killed her. She lived a very quiet BBs and had few friends. Lord Calliston came here very frequently, and she was very mueh in love with him.

CaUPXKat XT. ths nccAniLi.T nooxs. Calliston oeeupied a suite of rooms in a aide street leading off Piccadilly; and very comfortable apartments they were, being lnxnrionsty furnished in the prevailing fashion of the day. His sittingroom was hung with dark-red ourtams and carpet to match, and the furniture being of the kind designed to promote ease and oomfort, it looked very snog, particularly at night. There was a desk in on corner of the room piled up with a disorderly heap of papers. Over this were fencing-foils and boxing gloves, arranged against the wall, and the piotnras mostly consisted of photographs of pretty woman and paintings of celebrated horaea. There was a small table near lha fireplace est which lay pipes, cigarbesea, sod tobacco jars, and on a sideboard a spirit stand, which was much in tavoi with Calliston's friends. A small

ft!

book-ease oontained an assortment of Freneh novels, principally of the Zola

and Mendes school, and, judging from the shabby appearance of the cooks, must have been pretty well read. The whole apartment had a dissipated air, and the atmosphere was still impregnated wttn a xaint odor or stale toDsooo-smoke. Opening off this anartment were a dress ing-room and bedroom, and, thongh the whole menage was somewhat limited, yet it made up in quality what it lacked in quantity. When Calliston was away his Lares and Penates were looked after by worthy lady, who rejoiced in the name of airs, rovy, generally Known oy tne name of Totty. She was elderly, very stout, with a round red face, the tint of which was due to health and not drink, as she seldom imbibed anything stronger than tea. Totty was addioted to a kind of regulation uniform, consisting of a block dress, a huge white apron, and a muslin. cap, set eoquettishly on the side of her eiaeriy neaa. sne was one or wees quaint old motherly creatures who never ottended, no mutter- what they say, and she frequently lectured Calliston on the irregularity of his life, whioh that noble lord accepted with an amused laugh. The late Mr. Fovy had long since departed this life, and having been what is vulgarly known as a warm man, nod left Tottv comfortably off. so that lady occu pied her present position more from choice than neeessitv. She had a gruff voice. and her casual remarks had the sound of positive commands, which she found of great use with refractory servants. Totty learned from the papers that Lord Calliston had gone off to the Azores with Lady Balscombe, and expressed hex disapproval of hut action in the most em phatie manner to Mrs. Swizzle (a friend of her youth) as they sat over their four o oiook tea. "Ah," said Totty, fixing her eyes pen sively on the little black teapot, "it ain't no good being s. reformatory. The way i ve taikea to mm a no tit niH goings on, and now look at his mlnm off." "Perhaps he couldn't help himself, saia Mrs. tswizzie, wno was tau ana mm, and spoke in a kind of subdued wnistle, At tnis moment there came a ring at the door, and Totty hurrying away to a tend to it. Mrs. Swizzle made the best use of her time by eating up the buttered toast as rapiaiy as site oouia. When Mrs. Fovey opened the door she was confronted by a lank figure in gray, which was none outer than Dowker, come to prosecute his inquiries concerning Miss tsarscnine. "Well," inquired Totty, gruffly, an noyedat being disturbed, "and what do you want?" Dowker gaced on the substantial figure before him aad sighed. "A few words with you about Lord Calliston. be said, softly. "What's up?" she gasped. "Has Lord Calliston bin doing anything wrong?" "No, no," replied Dowker, soothingly, "I only want to obtain some information about Miss Sarschine. "I don't know that kind of pusson," said Totty, angrily. "Never mind if you know her or not," retorted ilowker, sternly, but answer my questions." Mrs. Povy sniffed and would have rexused. but there was something in tne de tective's eye whioh quelled her, so she yielded an ungracious assent. "When did Lord Calliston leave town for his yacht?" "About a week ago on Monday last." "Where was his vacht lying?" "At Shoreham. He went to London Bridge Station to catch the fen minutes past nine train. His yotsh was to leave next morning. "Did he go alone?" "As far as I know," retorted Totty. "If Lady Balscombe went with him you can see u in tne papers. xnow no more than that?" "How often did Miss Sarschine call on Monday?" "Once, in the afternoon, to see Lord Calliston." "Did she see him?" "No; he was out, so she said she'd call again m the evening. "And did she?" "Ifes; bnt Lord Calliston bad gone about eight o'clock to catch his train. I suppose she thought he wouldn't go till next morning. "Did she know he was going to elope with Lady Balscombe?" "Not that I know of." "Did she see any one when she oame the second time?" "Yes; Mr. Desmond, my Lord's cousin." "What time was that?" About twelve between eleven and twelve." Dowker pondered a little. So she called here to see Cnlllston just beforo she was murdered, and saw Desmond. Now, the question was, what had Desmond to do with the affair? "Was Mr. Desmond here on (hat evening by accident?" "No; he told me he had come to give Miss Sarschine a message from Lord Calliston." "Ton did not overhear their conversation?" "Mel" growled Totty, indignantly, "I never listen but. wluen she was leaving they were haying a row." "About what time?" "I think at ten minutes after twelve." "Did she go out alone?" "Tes; Mr. -Desmond followed shortly afterward." "Did he say anything?" "No; not a word." Dowker felt puzzled. It was evident Desmond had given her a message from Calliston that made her angry, and she left the house in a rage, but then this did not connect any one with a design to murder her. Suddenly he remembered that Ellersby had mentioned that he had met Desmond coming up St. James street a short time before the body was found. Was it possible that he had killed Miss Sarschine and was then coming away from the scene of his crime? Impossible, because the dootor said the woman must have been dead some hours. And yet he might have killed her. and gone down St. James street to avert suspicion; and then come up again when he thought the coast would be clear. Unfortunately, he had met Ellersby, and then well, Dowker made up his mind he would g and see Ellersby, find out what he eouli about the meeting, and afterward call on Mylas Desmond. He perhaps might give some satisfactory explanation of his interview with Miss Sarschine, and account for his presence after the interview. If he did not, well, it would appear suspicions. While these thoughts were rapidly passing through his mind, Totty had her eyes fastened eagerly on him. "Well, now I've answered all your questions, she said, "perhaps you'll tell me what it all means?" "Murderl" Mrs. Povy became quite excited, for she had a keen relish for horrors. "Lor! Who's dead not Lord Oalliijton?" . "No; Miss Sarschine." "Miss Sarschine! "Tes; she was murdered shortly after she left these rooms and after her interview with Mr. Desmond. " "Oh, he is innocent, I'm sure," said Mrs. Povy, eagerly. "What on earth should he want to kill her for? Besides, he's in love with Miss Penfold." "Oh, and she, I understand, was going to marry Lord Calliston." "I don't believe she'd ever have married him," said Totty, disbelievingly; "she's that fond of Mr. Desmond, as never was. Where are you going?" "To attend to business," replied Dowker, "and, by the way, where does Mr. Desmond live?" "Ton ain't going to arrest him for this murder?" shrieked Totty. "No no there's no evidenoe," retorted Dowker, lightly. "Wham does he live?" "Primrose Crescent; in Bloomsbury," replied Mrs. Povy. The detective took the address and went down stairs,' followed by Mrs. Povy, "Ton don't think Mr. Desmond did it, sir?" began Totty, "for a more " "I don't think anything," said Dowker. putting on his hat. "You'll hear soon enough what is done." As he hurried away Mrs. Povy shut the door and returned to her room, where she implored Mrs. Swizzle to mix her a glass of brandy. "I've 'ad such a turn," she walled, "as never was. Oh, it's a blessing Povy died afore ha saw his wife mixed up with than nasty police." CHAPTER V. A SOCOSSSrUL EXPZUMIN?. Dowker walked along PiooadUly think.

ing deeply about the curious aspect ths ease was now assuming. As far as ha oould make out, Myles Desmond was the last person who saw Miss Saraohiae alive, and he having gone out a few minutes after the interview, it seemed as though ha had followed her. '-'he only thing to be done was to see Ellersby, and as he was stopping at the Guelph Hotel, Dowker went along in that direction. He followed the same path as he surmised the dead woman must have taken, but what puzzled him was the reason she had for going into Jermyn street. "After she found out Calliston had gone off with Lr.dy Balscombe," he muttered, "the most obvious course would be for her to go home, but she ovidently did not intend to do so. I wonder if she walked or took a cab? Walked, I suppose. Let me see; it was a foggy night, and she got lost, that is the explanation. But then this man or woman she met; it must have been a friend, as she would hardly have stopped talking to a stranger, unless, indeed, she asked the way. Lord," ejaculated Mr. Dowker, suddenly stopping short, "fanoy if this murder turns out to be the work of some tramp; but no, that's bosh; tramps wouldn't use a poisoned dagger unless they took the one she carried. Hang it! it's the most perplexing ease I was ever in." He had by this time arrived at the Guelph Hotel and sent up his card to Mr. Ellersby. The waiter sofra returned with the information that Mr. Ellersby was in and would see him, bo he went upstairs and was shown into a sitting-room. At one end near the window sat Spencer Ellersby in a comfortable armchair, smoking a pipe and reading a Frenoh noTgl. A remarkably unpromising bulldog lay at his feet and arose with an ominous growl as Dowker entered the room. "Lie down, Piokles," said Ellersby to this amiable animal, who obeyed the command in a sulky manner. "Well, Mr. Dowker, what do you want to see me about?" "That ease, sir," said Dowker, taking a seat "Oh, of course," replied Ellersby, shrugging his shoulders; "I guessed as much. I thought I'd done with the whole affair at the inaueat." "As far as it 'then went, sir," said the detective, quickly; "but I've found out a lot more sinoe that time." "Ah, indeed! The name of the assassin?" "Not yet, sir I'll do that later on but the name of the viotim. " "Yes? And it is "Lena Sarschine." "Hum! And what was she doing ia Jermyn street that night?" "I dont know, sir. That's one of the things I've got to discover." "Well, what else have you found out, and how did you manage to acquire your information? "That was easy enough," said Dowker, confidentially. "I'll just tell you all, sir, for I want you to give me some information." "Delighted if lean." "As to the finding out, sir. The hat worn by the dead 'on had a tioket inside, showing it was made by Mme. Bene, of Begent street. I went there and found out it had been sold to a woman called Lydia Penny, of Cleopatra Villa, St. John's Wood. I, thinking Lydia Penny was the victim, wont there and found that she was alive, and had lent the hat to her mistress last Monday night." "Curious thing for a maid to lead her mistress clothes, "said Ellersby, smiling. "It's generally the reverse." "I thing she did it for a disguise, sir," exolsined Dowker. "because Miss Sars

chine went to Lord Calliston's chambers in Piccadilly." "What for?" "To get information concerning bis elopement with Lady Balsoombe." "The deuce!" said Ellersby, in astonishment. This is becoming interesting," TO BB COJiTINUXD.J Gardening In China. The following description of the manner in wliioh floating fields and gardens are formed in China was condensed from an article by .Br. Macgo wan, whioh originally appeared in the China Revittvi "In the month of April a bamboo raftrtefi or twelve feet Ipng and about haH as broad, in prepared. The poles are lashed together with interstices of an inch between each. Over this a layer of straw an inch thick is spread, and then a coating two inches thick of adhesive mud taken from the bottom of a canal or pond, which receives the seed. The raft is moored to the bank in still water, and requires no farther attention. The straw soon gives way and the soil also, the roots drawing snpport from the water alone. In about twenty days the raft becomes covered with the oreeper (Ipomoee replant), and its stems and roots are gathered for cooking. In autumn its small, white petals and yellow stamens, nestling among the round leaves, present a very pretty appearance. In some places marshy land is profitably cultivated in this manner. Besides these floating vegetable gardens, there are also floating rice fields. Upon rafts constructed as above, weeds and adherent mud were placed as a flooring, and when the rice shoots were ready for transplanting they were placed in the floating soil, which, being adhesive and held in place by weed roots, the plants were maintained in position throughout the season. The rice thus planted ripened in from sixty to seventy, in place of 100, days. The rafts are cabled to the shore, floating on lakes, pools, or sluggish streams. These floating fields served to avert famines, whether by drought or flood. "When other fields were submerged and their crops rotten, these floated and flourished; and when a drought prevailed they subsided with the falling water, and while the soil around was arid, advanced to ma turity. " Wanted Inducements. An old fellow, after standing about the corridor of the Grand Pacific Hotel nearly all day, at last found an opportunity to speak to the clerk. "I reckon yon have noticed me around here." "I don't know that I have," the clerk answered. "Why, I've been here all day ; bnt no matter. I have been wanting to speak to you on business, but you have been so busy that I couldn't get a obanoe. I am from Michigan, and expect to stay in this town nearly a whole week, and I'd like to know what inducements you offer for folks stoppin' at your hotel." "No inducements except that we do onr best to please." "No discount for cash in advance?" "None." "Don't make a man a little present when he leaves, I reckon f . "No." "Just let him go on away as a matter of course?" "Yes." "Well, I don't reckon we can trade. I have lived too long and 1'arned too mnoh to throw away money without any inducement.

Many Times Killed.

fhe blow of a bullet will ordinarily paralyze so waay nerves and muscles of a white man as to knock him down, evext though no vital part be hit. The Indian gives little heed to such wounds, and to "drop him in his tracks" the ballet must reach the brain, the heart or the spine. "I have seen an Indian bo off with two bullets through his body," writes Ool, Dodge, "within an inch or two of the spine, the only offeet of whioh was to cause nun to onange his gait from a ran to a dignified walk." A cavalry force of some twenty-flve men surprised a small party of Indians in a thick chaparral, through whioh, however, there were numerous glades and openings. The Indians scattered at once, and the soldiers separated in pursuit. After some time, when the cessation of firing indicated that the affair was over, the commander had the recall sounded. Soon one and then another came in, until the whole command was assembled, when, to the gratification of the officer, almost every man claimed to have killed an Indian. They went to collect the bodies. On reaching the first one it was fonnd that nearly every soldier olaimed to have killed him. A sergeant dismounted and approached the body. The prostrate Indian rose up and dealt a vicious blow with his knife, which the sergeant barely escaped. When the Indian was finally killed, it was discovered that he had not less than twenty wounds. One ballet, probably the first one, had broken his hip and thrown '.Aim from his horse. After that he had shot at every soldier that passed near him, attracting attention and being "killed again and again, only to rise up and nght tne next soldier wno oame along, Instead of twenty Indians, the soldiers found one. Where the Old Ships Go. A man stepped into one of the ship ping offices on front street the other day to nave a iook at tne maritime Register. An old sea captain who had been reading it remarked, as the visitor laid the sheet aside, after an apparently fruitless inspection, "Dont find what von were looking for, eh?" "No," was the answer. "I was looking for the B , but she isn't in this number," Old ship?" Tea. I sailed ia her twenty years ago." "Ob, well, then she belongs to the uermans by this time. "How's that? "Well, the Germans don't build ships, leastwise not wooden ones, so mnoh as some other people. They buy second-hand ships, and they do moat of tneif buying in America. The Uerman merchants operate on smaller capital than oars, and they can't or won't pnt as mnch money into timber as they do here. They have a sharp eye for bargains, too, let me tell yon, and when they find a tnb that's somewise alow or leaky, but presentable and cheap, they bny her, copper-bottom her, and start her on her travels again. Lord I There's lofo of American-built ships flaying the Dutchman's flag atonr wharves. Some Norwegians buy 'em, too, but it's mostly Germans that get em," This throws a light on old ships, but pins, piano, and sewing machines are still to be accounted for. The Too Flnent Convener.

Now, 'as no well-bred man will ever make himself the subject oi convorsanoe-ao neuner will ne seek to engross the whole. As every man had rather please others by what he says, than be himself pleased by what they say or, in other words, as every man ia best pleased with the consciousness of pleasing, so should all havo an -equal opportunity of aiming at it A polite man, therefore, will not take more of a general discussion than falls to his snare- xhe information or tne company is his iipparent aim, not the indulgence of his own pride, or an ambitious desire ror vtotory. rexaa t"i7"Wherever atalarla Exists Ths bilious are Its certain pray.
