ClIAITKIl IV.

A XlYSTKUIOfS WOMAN. I

This pentietiKin has some infermatiou to ^ive. As he was returning home from the bedside tt' a sick parish- I ioner some little time before he had been run auuinst on this very corner by man nisl'.ius out of the aatoway in a state of jxreat itLrilalioii. This man held soinetbins in his band that clittereil, iind, though the enctumler near-: lj upset them both, he had not" stopped! to utter tin apology, but stumbled! away into the darkness in a da/.ed and feeble way. showing that ho was: neither young nor active. The minister had not been able to see his face, but noticed the ends of a lout: beard blow-1 Ing over his shoulder as he hurried away.

Philemon was a clean shaved man. Asked if he could give the time of his encounter, lie replied that it was after' 11 ami before 12, for lie was in liis own house by 12. "Iid you look up at these windows before leaving'.'" asked .Mr. IVnton, for this interview had taken place in the presence of the dead. "1 must have, l'or I now remember tliey were both lighted." "Were the shades up?" "I think not. or 1 should have noticcd the ceiling of the room. I remember seeing nothing." "How were the shades when you broke into the house this morning'.'" Inquired Mr. Sutherland of the constable. "Just as they are now we have moved nothing. The shades were both down-one of them over an open window." "Well, we may find this encounter of Mr. Crane's of decided importance." "1 wish I had seen the man's face," remarked the hitter. "What did the object look like you saw glittering in his hand':" "1 should not like to venture an opinion. 1 siiw it but an instant." "Could it have been a knife or tin old fashioned dagger?" "It might have been." "Alas, poor Agatha! That money, something she so despised, should cause the death of a creature so grand and simple! l'iihappy life, unhappy death! I'enton. 1 shall always mourn for Agatha Webb "Yet she seems to have found peace at last." said the minister. "I have never seen her look so contented." Then leading Mr. Sutherland aside he whispered "What is it yon say about moneyV Had she any considerable amount of it'.' 1 ask because in spite of their humble means of living she always put it generous donation on the plate, and 1 have received more than once during my pastorate an unexpectedly large and anonymous contribution for certain charities. As it was always for sick or suffering children 1" "Yes. yes. 1 have no doubt it etime from her. She was by no means poor, though I myself never knew the extent of her means till lately. Philemon was a good business man once, but they evidently preferred to live simply, having no children living"— "They have lost six, I have been told." "So the Porchester folks say. They probably had no heart for display or for even the simplest luxuries. At all events tliey did not indulge in them." "Philemon has long been past indulging in anything." "Oh. he likes his comfort, and he has had it too. Agatha never stinted him." "But why do you think her death was due to her having money?" "She had a large sum in the house, and there are some who knew this." "And is it gone?" "That we shall know later."

As the coroner arrived at tills moment the minister's curiosity had to wait. Fortunately for his equanimity no one had the presumption to ask hiiu to leave the room.

The coroner was a man of but few words and but little given to emotiou. Yet they were surprised at his first question. "Who Is the young, woman who is standing outside there, the only one In the yard?"

Mr. Sutherland, moving rapidly to the window, drew aside the shade. "It is Miss Page, my housekeeper's niece." he explained. "1 do uot understand ber interest in this affair. She followed me here from the house and could hardly be got to leave this room, Into which she lutruded herself against my express command." "But look at her attitude." It was Mr. Kenton who spoke. "She's crazier than Philemon, it seems to me."

There was some reason for this remark. Guarded by the high fence from the gaze of the.pushing crowd without, she stood upright and immovable in the middle of the yard, like one on watch. The hood which she had dropped from her head when she thought her eyes and smile might be of use to her in the furtherance of ber plans had been drawn over it again, so that she looked more like a statue In gray than a living. breathing woman. Yet there was menace In her attitude and a purpose in the solitary stand she took In that circle of board girded grasa which caused a thrill in the breast of thoso who looked at her from that chamber of death. "A mysterious young woman," muttered the minister. "And one that I neither countenanco nor understand," Interpolated Mr.

Sutherland. "1 have just shown her the displeasure I feel at her actions by dismissing her from my house."

The coroner gave quick look, seemed about to speak, hut changed his mind and turned toward the dead won.sn.

TUK CKAWrORDSYlLLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.

Tiie inquiries which followed elicited one or two new facts. First, that all tbe doors of the house were found unlocked, and. secondly, that the coilstable bad been among the tirst to come in, so that be could vouch that no disarrangement had been made in the roomp with the exception of Haisy's removal to the bed.

Then, bis attention being drawn to the dead woman, he discovered the key in her tightly closed hand. "Where does this, key belong?" he aske-i.

They sboweil liiui the drawers in tho cupboard. ""One is empty," said Mr. Sutherland,! "If the other is found to be In tlio same condition, then her money lias been taken. That key she holds should open both these drawers." "Then let it be made use of at once. It is important that we should know whether theft lias been committed hero as well as murder." And drawing the key out he handed it to Mr. Fenton.

The constable immediately unlocked the drawer and brought it and its contents to the table. "No money here," said lie. '•Hut papers as good as money," announced the doctor. "See, here are deeds and more than one valuable bond. I judge that siie was a richer woman than any of us knew."

Mr. Sutherland meantime was looking with :ui air of disappointment into the now empty drawer. "Just as I feared," said he. "She has boon robbed of ber ready money. It was doubtless in the other drawer.". "IIow came she by the key. then?" "That is one of the mysteries of the affair. This murder is by no means a simple one. I begin to think we shall find it full of mysteries." "Patsy's death, for instance?" "Oh, yes, I'.atsy! 1 had forgotten thiit she was found dead too." "Without a wound, doctor." "She had heart disease. I doctored her for it. The fright has killed h'-r." "The look of her face confirmed, that." "Let me see. So it does. But wo must have an autopsy to prove it." "I would like to explain before any .further measures are taken how 1 came to know that Agatha Webb had money in her house." said Mr. Sutherland as they stepped back into the other room. "Two days ago I was sitting with my family at dinner. Old gossip

Judy came in. Had Mrs. Sutherland

She. pointing to the gruss at her feet, scrid jxicllu, "See 11118/" been living she would not have presumed to intrude upon us at mealtime, but as we have no one now to uphold our dignity this woman rushed into our presence panting with news ami told us all in one breath how she bad just conic from Mrs. Webb, who had a pile of money in her house that she had just seen it with her own eyes that going ui stairs, as usual, without knocking. she bad seen Mrs. Webb through the crack of the sitting room door j' walking toward the fireplace cupboard with ii huge roll of bills in her hand:

that listening she heard her say: Must fifteen hundred! Too much money by far to have in the house.' After which she heard tirst one lock turned and then another, and. satisfied that the money had been put into some rcceptaele in the cupboard, she crept out as quietly as she had come in and ran away to tell the neighbors. Happily I was the lirst one she told, but I have I no doubt that in spite of all my injunctions she has related the news to every j'one who would listen." "Was the young woman I see down I yonder at the table with you when

Judy told this story?" asked the coroner, pointing toward the yard. Mr. Sutherland pondered. "No I do not think she was. Frederick was seated at the table with me. and my housekeeper was pouring the tea, but Miss Page had uot yet come down, I think. She has been putting on great airs of late." "Can it be possible that he does not know that his son Frederick wants to marry this girl?" muttered the clergyman Into the constable's ear.

The constable shook, his he.id. Mr. Sutherland was one of those debonair men whose very mildness makes them impenetrable.

The coroner on leaving the house was followed by Mr. Sutherland. As the fine figures of the two men appeared on the doorstep a faint cheer was heard from the two or three favored persons who were allowed to look through the gate. But to this token of welcome neither gentleman responded by so much as a look, all their attention being engrossed by the sight of the solitary figure of Miss Page, who still held her stand upon the lawn. Motionless as a statue, but with her eyes fixed upon their facest she awaited their ap-

proach. When they were near her, she thrust one hand from under her cloak and, pointing to the grass at her feet, said quietly: "See this?"

Tliey hastened toward her and bent down to examine the spot she indicated. "What do you tind there?" cried Mr. Sutherland, whose eyesight was not good. "Rlood responded the coroner, pluekim,' up it blade of grass and surveying it closely. "Blood," echoed Miss Page, with so suggestive it glance that Mr. Sutherland stared :it her in amazement, not understanding his own emotion. "How arc you able to discern a stain so nearly imperceptible'.'" asked the coroner. ,'"•. "Imperceptible? It is the only tiling I see in the whole yard," she retorted, and with a slight bow which was not \. .iiiintt its clement of mockery she turned toward the gate. ".'i most unaccountable girl," com-i mcnt.'-d the doctor. "Put she is right about, those stains. Abel.", lie called to] the man at the gate, "bring it box or barrel here and cover up this spot. Ij don't, want: it disturbed by trampling feet till the jury 1 shall soon call shall! have had an opportunity to look at it."

Abel started to obey just, as the young girl laid ber hand on the gate to open it. "Won't you help me?" she asked. I "The crowd is so groat they won't let me through." "Won't, tliey?" 'Hie words came from without. "Just slip out as 1 slip in, and you'll lind a place made for you."

Not recognizing tlie^voice, she liesitated for a moment, but seeing the gate swaying, she pushed against it just as a young man stepped through the gap. Necessarily they came face to face. I "Ah, it is you," he muttered, giving I her a sharp glance. "I do not know you," she haughtily .declared, and slipping by hint with such dexterity she was out of the gate before he could respond.

But he only snapped his linger and thumb mockingly at ber and smiled j. knowingly at Abel, who had lingered I to watch the end of this encounter. "Supple as a willow twig, eh," he I laughed.. "Well, 1 have made whistles I out of willows before now and—halloo! where did you get that?" lie was pointing to a rare flower that hung limp and faded from Abel's buttonhole. "This? Oh, 1 found it in tin? house yonder. I: was lying on the floor of the inner room, almost under Patsy's skirts. Curious sort of flower. I wonder where she got it?"

The intruder betrayed at once an un1 accountable emotion. There was a strange glitter in his light green eyes that made Abel shift rather uneasily on his feet. "Was that before the pretty minx you here with Mr

hear from me again in regard to it write me out a fool and forget we were ever chums when little shavers."

The man called Abel smiled, took out the flower nnd went to cover up the glass as Dr. Talbot had requested. The stranger took his place at the gate toward which the coroner and Mr. Sutherland were now advancing with an air which showed his great anxiety to speak with them. He was that one of the (i\c musicians whom we saw secretly entering the hist mentioned gentleman's house after the departure of the last servant.

As the coroner paused before him he spoke. "Dr. Talbot." said he, dropping his eyes, which wore apt to betray his thoughts too plainly, "you have often promised that you would give me a job if any matter came up where nice detective work was wanted. Don't you think the time has come to remember me?" "You, Sweetwater? I'm afraid the affair is too deep for an inexperienced man's lirst effort. I shall have to send to Boston for an expert. Another time, Sweetwater, when the complications are less serious."

The young fellow, Willi a face white as milk, was turning away. "But you'll let me stay around here?" he pleaded, paush.g and giving the other an imploring look. "Oh, yes." answered the good natured coroner. "Fenton will have work enough for you and half a dozen others. Go and tell him I sent you." "Thank you." returned the other, his face suddenly losing its aspect of acute disappointment. "Now 1 shall see where that (lower fell," he murmured.

CHAPTER VI. RENUNCIATION.

Mr. Sutherland returned home. As he entered the broad hall he met his son Frederick. There was a look on the young man's face such as he had not seen there In years. "Father," faltered the youth, "may I have a few words with you?"

The father nodded kindly, though It is likely he would have mach preferred his breakfast, and the young man led him into a little sitting room littered with the faded garlands and other tokens of the preceding ulgbt's festivities. "I have an apology to make," Frederick began, "or rather I have your forgiveness to ask. For years," he went on, stumbling over his words, though he gave no evidence of a wish to restrain them, "for years 1 have gone contrariwise to your wishes and caused my mother's heart to ache and you to wish I had never been bopn to be a curse to you and her."

He had emphasized the word mother and spoke altogether with l'orce and

deep intensity. Mr. Sutherland stood petritied. lie had long ago given up this lad is lost. I "l 1 wish to change. 1 wish to be as great a pride to you as 1 have been a shame and a dishonor. I may not sueceed it once, but I am in earnest, and I if you will give me your hand"— I The old man's sinus were around the young man's shoulders at once." "Frederick!" he cried, "my Frcderiek!"

"With no excuse for niv past, 1 suffer intolera Lle apprehension in regard to my fulure, lost my good intentions should f:nl or my self control not hold out. P.us the knowledge that you are acquainted with niv resolve and regard it with an undeserved sympathy may RUtiiee 1O sustain me. and I should cer:.iiuly.be a base poltroon if I should ul.-appoint you or her twice." lie paused, drew himself from Ills father's arms and glanced almost solemnly out of the window. "I swear that I will henceforth act its if she were still alive and watching me."

There was strange intensity in Ilia niiinner. Mr. Sutherland regarded him with amazement, lie bad seen him in every mood natural to a reckless man, but never in .so serious a one, never with a look of awe or purpose in his face. It gave him quite a new idea of Frederick. "Yes," the young man wont on, raising his right hand, but not removing his eves Irom the distant prospect on which tliey were lixod: "I swear that. I will henceforth do nothing to discredit her memory. Outwardly and inwardly I will act. as though her eye was still upon me and she could again suffer grief at my failure or thrill at my success."-

A portrait of Mrs. Sutherland painted when Frederick was a lad of 10 hung within a few feet of him as he spoke, lie did not glance at it. but Mr. Sutherland did ami with a look as if he expected to behold a responsive light beam from those pathetic features. "She loved you very dearly," was the slow and earnest comment. "We have both loved you much more deeply than you have ever seemed to realize, Fredcrick." "I believe it," responded the young man, turning with an expression of calm f'-solve to meet his father's eye. "As proof that I am no longer Insensible to your afl'eol ion 1 have made np my mind to forego for your sake one of the dearest wishes of my heart. Fnther" —he besitati .1 before lie spoke the word, but spoke it lirmly at last am 1 right in thinking you would uot like Misf. P.ige for a daughter?" "I.ike my housekeeper's niece to take tiie place In this house once occupied bv Marietta Sutherland? Frederick. I

have always thought too well of you

"I have already intimated to ber the advisability of her quitting it home where she is no longer respected." the old geutleman declared. "She leaves on the 10:1.") train. Her conduct this morning itt the house of Mrs. Wobli—who, perhaps, you do not know was most cruelly and foully murdered hist night —wiis such as to cause comment and make her an undesirable adjunct to any gentleman's family."

Frederick paled. Something In these words had* caused him a great shock. Mr. Sutherland was fond enough to believe that it was the news of this cxtiiioi(iinary woman's death. But bis son's words, as soon as lie could find any. showed that his mind was naming on Amabel, whom he perhaps had found it difficult to connect even in the remotest way with crime. "She at litis place of death? How could that be? Who would take a young girl there?"

The father, experiencing perhaps more compassion for tills soou to be disillusionized lover than he thought it Incumbent upon him to show, answered shortly, but without any compromise of the unhappy truth: "She went. She wan not taken. No olio, not even myself, could keep ber back after she had heard that a murder had been committed in the town. She even intruded into the house and when ordered out of the room of death took up her stand in the yard in front, where she remained until she had the opportunity of pointing out to us stain of blood on the grass which might otherwise hit ve oscnt»-| our attention."
