TEE mil OF A TERRIBLE EPISODF 11 he ute of mum I0BLEIM. By F. W. HUMS. CHAJPTKK T Continued. B will be still more ao before it's done. I found out from Lydia Fenny that Saraohine diacoTered her lover was about to elope with Lady Balsoombe, so went to his chamber to prevent it. She arrived too late, as Lord Calliaton had gone down to Shoxeham by the ten minutes past 9 train from London Bridge 'Station. Instead of Lord Calliaton she found Mr. Desmond, his cousin, and I suppose ho told her she was too late, for there was a row royal, and she left the chambers at 12 o'cloek or thereabouts. Desmond followed shortly afterward, and that was the last seen of her alive, as far as I taow." "Why? Didn't Hiss Sarsohine return home when she discovered Calliaton had sone off with Lady Balscombe?" 'I can't tell you, six; nor what took her to Jermyn street, unless she got lost in tne leg, or mere was another man in tee "Kit? Nonsense! what other man could there have been? "Well," said Dowker slowly, there was Mr. Desmond." "Pshaw!" said EHornby, springing to hit feat, "What rubbisa! I've known Myles Desmond all my life, and he's not we 1 enow to commit suoii a pnmei"Yet I understand before you found the body yon met Mr. Desmond coming up St. Jamas street?" Spenser Euonby swung rouna lu a rage. Confound your he said, in an angry tone, "do you want me to give evidence implicating my friend?" Dowker did not lose hu temper. "No; but X want to know what took place between yon on thut night. " "Simply nothing. He was in a hurry and seemed annoyed at my stopping him, but that was only natural on such a beastly night. I asked him to call on me here, and also asked where Calliston was; he told mo yachting, and then went off. Nothing more took place." Humph!" said Dowker, thoughtfully. "It was curious he should have been there at the time." "I don't see it at all. If you ask him Pre no doubt he'll give you a good account of himself. Besides, ha had no motive in murdering Miss Sarsohine he is in love with Miss Penfold." "I dont say he deliberately murdered her," said Dowker, quietly, "but there might have been an accident. You see this? taking the Malay kriss out of his pocket and unwrapping the papers. "Yes a dagger. Is that the " said EUereby, recoiling. "No; out I shrewdly suspect it's the neighbor to it. Down at Cleopatra Villa there were e lot of these sort of things hanging against the wall, arranged in a kind of pattern. .One side of the pattern was incomplete, and I found out from Miss fanny that Miss Sarsohine had taken one of the daggers with a view to trying it on Calliston if he did not give up his design of eloping. She was mad with rage or she would never have thought of such an idea. 'Well cannot you guess what follows? she has the dasrgei with her doubtless shows it to Myles Desmond during her stormy interview with him, and leaves the house in a rage. He follows her to try and take such a dangerous weapon from her meets her in Jermyn street struggles to get it, and in the seufie wounds herself; consequently she dies, and Myles Desmond keeps quiet, last ho should be accused of murder." "Seams possible enough, " said Ellersby, resuming his seat, "but I doubt its troth. However, the only thing to be done is see Desmond, and find out what took place at Calliston's rooms. But tell me, what are you going to ao with mat other dagger?" "Twant to find out if it's poisoned," said Dowker, handling it gingerly. If it is it will show that the other weapon was the one with which the crime wag committed." "Will you allow me to look at it?" said Ellersby, stretching out his hand, "Certainly," replied the detective, and rising to his feet he walked across to Ellersby to give him the dagger. Unluckily, however, just as he was handing it to him he stepped on Piekles, who with a growl ox rage raaue a one at his leg. in the sudden start Dowker let go the dagger, which fell upon Pickles' back, inflicting a slight wound. The detective pave a yell as the bulldog gripped him, but Ellersby pulled Piekloa off, and Dowker, hobbling to a chair, sat down to nurse his wounded leg. It was not-much hurt, however, as Pickles had a mouthful of trousers instead of Alarmed as Dowker had been bv Inn accident, he was not more alarmed 'than Ellersby, who sprang to his feet with an oath and rang the bell sharply. "Confound it!" he said, furiously; "if that dagger is poisoned the dog will die. How could you be such a fool?" "You'd be the same. sir. if a devil of a dog bit you," said Dowker, sulkily, notat aU displeased at having the question of the dagger tested at onee. 'I'm very sorry be hanged!" said E'Jprsbv sav agely. "I wouldn't lose that dog for a nundvaa pounas. iiere, to the waiter that entered, "send for a doctor at onoe dont lose time, confound you!" At whieh the astonished waiter vanished promptly. Meanwhile all this time Pickles was tying down trying to lick his wound, and evidently wondering what all the fuss .was about. Dowker watched him intently, and in a short time saw the dog was becoming drowsy. Ellersby picked up the dagger and was about to hurl it furiously back to Dowker, when the detective jumped up in alarm. "for God's sake, don't!" he cried; "-I believe it is poisoned look Ellersby looked and saw Piekles trying to rise to his feet. He evidently knew something was wrong with him, for he eommenoed to whine and a glaze came over bis eyes. His master knelt down beside him and dried the blood off the wound with his handkerchief, but it was too late. The dog opened his jaws once or twice, tried to rise to his feet, staggered and fell, over on his side, to all appearances dead. On seeing this Ellersby jtunped to his feet and began to rage, "The devil take vou and your ease!" he said furiously. "You've killed my dog." "I'm very sorry, sir,-" said Dowker.erossing and picking up the dagger; "it was an accident." "An expensive accident for me," said Ellersby, bitterly; at all events, it proves she dagger was poisoned." "Yes said Dowker, in a delighted tone: "so the erime must have been committed with the other weapon, for if one was poisoned, it's only common sense to assume the other was."' Ho had apparently quite forgotten the loss sustained by Ellersby, for there was so ooudc tne ouuaog was quite oead. That gentleman looked at him is digasTIMa "Oh, go to the devil," he said irritably, "and thank you stars I don't make' yon pay for this." Dowker murmured something about an accident, the, slipping the fatal dseoer. onee more covered in paper, into his pocket, he tosh his departure. On his

way down he met the doctor coming up, and onoo outside, he was beside himself

with joy at having proved the kriss to be poisonous. "And now," hs said, "I'll call and see mr. uesmona. CHAPTER Tt. A MMRAKY ASl'ISAKtt Primrose Crescent lies just off Tottenham Court Bond, and though a short distance awav ibe thoroughfare is full of nose and bustle, everything is comparatively silent in this cresoant. Mtlk-cnrtu are the moat frequent vehioles, and occasionally a rakish-looking hamtoni makes its appearance, w bile rugged mendicants sometimes pay the neighborhood a visit and troll out lively ditties in ginger-cracked voices. The organ-grinder is not an Unknown porionage oithiir, and his infornal machine may frequently be heard playing the latest music-hall melodios as he glances round in searou of the humble brown. There are a good many boarding-houses to be found in Primrose Crescent, where city clerks, literary aspirants, and coming actors are to be found. A touch of Bohemianism pervades the whole street, and perhaps in the future neat tablets let into the walls of the houses will inform posterity that Horatio Muggins, the celebrated poet, and Simon Mephison, the famous actor, resided there. But fame is as yet far from the quiet street, and the dwellers therein aid still struggling upward or downward, as their inclinations may lead them. Mrs. Mulgy was the landlady of one of these boarding-bouses, and by dint of hard work and "incessant watchfulness managed to keep the wolf from the door; but, alas, the wolf was'nevor far off, and it took all Mrs. Mulgy's 'time to keop him at his distance. The basement of her mansion was devoted to the kitchen, the presiding deity of which was a pale, thinlooking servant, with a hungry eye and a deprecating manner, who answered to the "name of Rondalinn, which sounded well and cost nothing. It was about 11 o'clock and Myles Desmond sat in his sitting-room scribbling an article for a society journal, called A&modeua, published for the express purpose of unroofing people's houses and exposing to the world their private life. Not that Desmond did such a thing, he would have scorned to violate the sanotity of private life, but he wrote for all kinds of magazines and papers, and as Amnodeut paid well, he now and then wrote them a smart essay on existing evils, or a eynieal social story. He was a tall young man, with reddish hair and mustaohe, a olever, intellectual face, perhaps no't actually good-looking, but a face that attracted attention, and when ho ohose to exert himself he could talk excellently on the current topics of the day. His breakfast lay on the table, untouched, he having only swallowed a cup of coffee and then pushed the tablecloth aside to make room for his papers. Myles looked worn a:ad haggard, as if he had been up all niglit, and every now and titer bis swift pen would stop as he pondered over some thought. There was a ring at the bell below, but he tbok no notice. This was followed shortly afterward by a knock at the door, and Hondalina glided in, saying a gentleman wished to see him. "Show him in," said Myles, sot looking up, "Wonder who it can be?" he muttered, as Bondolina wont out; "hang those fellows, they won't even let me have the morning to myself." When the door opened he glanced up and saw that the new coiner was not a friend, but a tall, gray man whom he did not know. Myles paused with his pen in his hand, and waited for his visitor to speak, looking at hint interrogatively meanwhile. Mr. Dowker for of course it was heclosed the door carefully, and advancing to the table introduced himself in two words: "Dowker detective1" If Myles looked haggard before, he looked still more so now. His face grew Sale, and he shot an inquiring glance at is visitor, who stood leaking mournfully at him. Then, throwing down his pen in an irritable manner, he arose to his feet "Well, Mr. Dowker," he said a little nervously, "you want to see me?" "I do very particularly," replied Dowker, coolly taking a scat, "and believe you can guess what it's about." Myles drew his brows together and shook his head. "No. I'm afraid I can't," he said coldly. "The .Termyn street murder." ' Myles gave a kind of gasp, and turned away toward the man to! piece, ostensibly to fill his pipe, but in ireality to conceal his agitation. "Well," he said, in an unsteady voice, "r id what have I to do with it?" 'That's what I want to know," said Dowker, imperturbably. Myles Desmond glanced keenly at him, lighted his pipe, resumed his seat at the table, and leaning his elbows thereon, stared coolly at the detective. "You speak in riddles," he said quietly. unmpni answerea nowcer, mean ly; "perhaps you oan guess them. bt till you explain them more fully," o, retortea uesmona. It was evidently a duel between the men, and they both felt it to be so. Dowker wanted to find out something which Desmond knew, and Desmond on his side was equally determined to hold his tongue. The cleverest man would win in theend, so Dowker began the battle at onee. "The woman who was murdered was Lena Sarsohine. " "Indeed!" said Desmond, with a store of surprise. "May I ask how you know?" "That is not the point," retorted Dowker quiekly. "I have satisfied myself as to the identity of the murdered woman you wore the last person who saw her alive." "Is that so?" "Yes, at Lord Cnllislon's chambers, between 11 and 12 o'clock on Monday night." "Who says I saw her?" Mrs. Povy." Mylos Desmond's lips curled, "You seem to have obtained all your information, beforehand," he said with a sneer, "pern ps you'll tell me what you want to know from me?" "First -did you see Miss Sarsohine on Monday?" "Yes! I did, but in the afternoon, notat night." "But Mrs. Povy said she called on you there on Monday night." "Mrs. Povy is mistaken, I did not see her." "Did you sea anyone at that time?" "That's my business." 'Pardon me," said Dowker ironically, "but it's mine also. You had better answer my questions or you may find yourself in an uncommonly awkward fix. "Oh! So you mean to acouse me of Lena Sarschine's murder?" "That depends," replied Dowker, ambiguously; "tell me what yon did on Monday niRht?" Myles thought a moment, and seeing his perilous position resolved to answer. "I went to the frivolity Theater, then to the office of the newspaper Hash and afterward " "Well?" "I went along to Lord Calliston's rooms, about half-past ten." "I thought so; and why did you go there?" "Not to commit a crime," retorted Desmond, coolly, "but only to arrange some papers for my cousin he had gone down to Shoreham by the 9:10 train." "Did you see him otf?" No." "Then how do you know he went?" "Because he said he was going." "With Lady Balsoombe?" "I know nothing about that," said Desmond, coldly, he went aa far as I know by himself. I was at his chambers to arrange his papers, and after I had done so I left." "Did no one oall while you were there? "Yes," reluctantly. "A lady?" "Well, a woman," evasively. "Miss Sarsohine?" "No, it was not Miss Sarsohine; that I can swear to." "Then who was it?" "No one having anything to do with this case a friend of my own. "I must know the name." "I refuse to tell you." Both men looked steadily at one another, and then Dowker changed the subject. "Why did you quarrel with your friend?" "That is my business." . "Oh! And what tinw did your friend leave?"

"Shortly after 12." "And you?" . "Went a few minute afterward," "You oame home?" "After a time yes."

"Where did you go in the meantime?" "I refuse to answer." "Then I oan tell you down 8t Jamei street." Myles Desmond uttored an oath, asked, sharply: "Who told you that?" "No ono; out Mr. EHorsby met and you oommg up suortty alter ss o clock. "Yes, laid meet him there." " Why did you not go straight home?" Desmond seemed to be trying to think of something at lost, with an effort, he said: "I was afraid my friend might get lost in the fog, and followed her down St. James street, then I lost sight of ber, and after a time oame up St. James street, where I met Ellersby. I did not see my friend again, so I came home. " "You did not see your friend after she left Lord Calliston's chambers?" "No, I did not!" said Desmond, with a sudden flush. "That's a lie," thought Dowker, eying mm snarpiy; men ne saw aloud: "You have answered all my questions' except the most important ones. "I have answered all I intend to answer." "Then you refuse to give me the name of the womaa whom you saw on Monday night?" 8Yes!" "Mrs, Povy is certain it was Miss Sarsohine." "As I said before, Mrs. Povy is mistaken." ' "Do you know I oan arrest you on suspicion?" "You have no grounds to go upon." 'You were the person who last saw the deceased alive," "Pardon me, I deny that I saw the deceased at all on that night." "Mrs. Povy can prove it." "Then let Mrs. Povy do so." Dowker grow angry the self-possession and coolness of this young man annoyed him so ho resolved for the present to temporize. "Well, well, Mr. Desmond, I supposo you can give a good account of yourself on that night? "Certainly, to the proper authorities." "Good morning," said Dowker, and walked out of the room. When he got into the street he strolled along a littlo way, thinking deeply. ' "Confound him! Heknows something," he said to himself, "and refuses to tell. I won't lose sight of him, so I must get that little devil, Flip, to look after him. I'll look him up now, and start him at once." Just as he was'ahout to put this resolution into exeeution he saw the door of the house he had just left open, and tho servant oame out with a piece of paper in ner hand, whieh the keen-eyed detective saw was a telegraph form, "Hullo!" said Dowker to himself. "I wonder if Mr. Desmond's sending that. I'll just find out." Rondalina went along to the little postoffice at tho end of the street, and turned in. Shortly afterward Dowker followed, and, going to the counter, took a telegraph form as if to send a telegram. The girl was attending to someone else, and Rondalina, with the telefr am opened out beforo her, was waiting er turn. Dowker dexterously leaned across her to get a pen, and glanced rapidly at the telegram, which he read in a moment: Tenfold, caro of Balscomtie, Park Lane: "Meet me Marble Arch throe o'clock, "MyiiHS." Dowker sent a fiotltious telegram, and then strolled leisurely out. "Hum!" he said, thoughtfully. "That's the girl he wants to marry. I wonder what are his reasons for seeing her today. I'd like to overhear their conversation. Can't go myself, aa he knows me, so Flip will be the very person." And Dowker departed to find Flip. iTO BB COSTtMUBP.1 Writing Famous Poems. Bryant -wrote "Thanatopsis" in the shade of a grand old forest a fitting spot for such a theme. Ella Wheeler Wilcox composed her beautiful little poem, "The Land of Nod," while rooking her baby brother to sleep in a cradle.. Cowper wrote one of the drollest and quaintest Englinh ballads, "John Gilpin's Bide," when ho was under one of those terrible fit 1 of depression so common to him. Gen. Lytle wvote his beautiful composition, "Antony and Cleopatra," which' begins, "I am dying, Egypt, dying," on the night beforo his death. He had a premonition that he was going to die the next day. Poe first thought of "The Bells" when walking the streets of Baltimore on a winter night. He rang the bell of a lawyer's house a stranger to him walked into the gentleman's library, shut himself up, and the next morning presented the lawyer with a copy of his celebrated poem. Thomas Moore, while writing "Lallan Rookh," spent so many months in reading up Greek and Persian works that he became an accomplished Oriental scholar, and people found it difficult to believe that its scenes were not penned on tho spot instead of a retired dwelling in Devonshire. "The Old Oaken Bucket"' was first suggested to the author, Hamuol Woodworth, in a bar-room. A friend with whom he was drinking said that when they were boys the old oaken bucket that hung in his father's well was good enough for them to drink from. "Woodworth immediately went home and wrote the famous poem. "Old Grimes," that familiar "little felicity in verso," which caught tho popular fancy as far back as 1823, was a sudden inspiration of the lato Judge Albert G. Greone, of Providonce, 11. L, who found the first verse in a collection of old English ballads, and en joying its humor, bunt up tne remainder of the poem in the some oonceit. The Est-urial. One of the most remarkable struoturesin the world is the Esourial Palace? in Spain. It is an immense pile pf buildings situated near Madrid, and lifts sonjetimes been called the eighth wonder of the world. It was built by Philip II., as a mausoleum, in accordance with the will of his father, and jbrved At once many purposes, as a palace, convent, treasury, tomb-honse, and museum. It was begun by Juan Baufcista do Toledo in 15Gi, and finished in 1581. Its name, according to some, is derived from EHOoriiu, the dros of iron mines which still exist here. The building was begun on tho anniversary of St. Lawrence, and, according to the tradition, was made to assume the shape of a gridiron, the instrument on which that saint is recorded to have suffered martyrdom. This story, however, is now believed to be an invention of later date. The huge and somber structure, standing on an elevation of 2,700 feet above the level of the sea, is part and parcel of the mountain out oi which it has been constructed. It is built of granite in tho Doric order, and was till lately tho country palace and mausoleum of the Spanish sovereigns, a part of the edifice being used for educational purposes. It is now, however, but a mere wreck, and being deprived of its monks and revenues, and exposed to the mountain storms, is constantly subject to injury. Wooden Wedding.

Why Envelopes nro Redeemed and Stamps are Not. Some people have an idea that the Government redeems postage stamps when from any oanso they become unfit for use or are difficult to use. Fre quently sheets of stamps are tuck together, or are torn or injured. ' The loss, if any, falls upon the owner, as the Government refuses to assume any responsibility of stamps when onoe sold. The agents of the Government, the Postmasters, can redeem stamps which they havl for sale, If through any accident they become unfit for use. But when the citizen buys a stamp he either uses it in tho legitimate ay or else he is out tho value of the stamp. Tho Government, however, redeems stamped envelopes. If ono should happen to be misdirected or should becomo blotted, or for any reason a person should wish to tear open a stomped envelope after he has sealed it for mailing, he can' bring it to the Post Office and get a brand new envelope in its place. Tho reason for this difference in the treatment of the adhesive stamp and the stamped envelope ia that tho adhesive stamp can be used and then washed and passed as good, unless a careful scrutiny is made. If the Government should begin the practice of redeeming adhesive stamp;, the opportunities for fraud would be increased. Then the adhesive stamps are manufactured at a cost to the Government, which the stamped envelop is not. Tbe stamps are furnished to the public at the fare value, and out of this has to oome the cost of manufacture, but in the case of stamped envelopes they are sold at their face value, plus the cost of manufacture. Washington Star, Mo Fanning for Him. "Yes," remarked Sam Sample, musingly, "the lot of a traveling man is hard, I admit, bnt there are many occupations that are infinitely worse." "Yes," was tho response, 'take for instance the free and easy existence of the farmer. He rises with the birds and enjoys nature's beauty when she is at her loveliest" "Very true, but I wouldn't baa farmer if-somo one would present me with the best farm in the country." "Why not?" "Because, as you probably know, a farmer's dnty is sometimes simply har rowing." Deal Gently with tho Stomach.

Kick headache, nervousness, sallowness of tbe complexion, fur upon the tongue, vortigo, and those many indescribable and disagreeable sensations caused by indig03tlou, are too often porpotuated by injudicious dosing.
