[CONTINUED FROM SIXTH PAGE I was in the presence of the man Kators, who had betrayed the whole of bis friends to the police. A sick feeling of repalsion came ovei me as I looked—I have always had a peculiar horror of treachery in any shape or form—and I turned away my eyes in loathing from the mean, leering countenanoe, wondering how it happened that Philip Calder could ever have brought himself to trust a man with a face like that but then I knew that he was false, and Calder had not known it, which makes all the difference. "Can you give us any information which will lead to this man's capture, miss? Is he still on the house boat?" asked one of the policemen. "We understood from this man that you were to be detained until Thursday—that is to-mor-row—so, seeing you now, makes us fear that he has had some warning of our coming, and has made tracks is that soT" 4tIt is," was my answer, as I cast about in my mind how I could best throw them off the scent without exciting their suspicions. "A message was sent quite two hours ago, warning this—Wellman —that the Society had been betrayed, and be— Wellman—went off. An old womtKiW&ho acted as servant, conducted me out of the park." "was the reply "then the bird has flown—the most important of the whole gang. Two hours ago, you say, MIBS Trevor? What have you been doing since then, may I ask?" "I waited to have some breakfast, as it was so early," I replied, coolJy, and without thinking it necessary to inform them that Philip Calder had remained also—I allowed them to infer that he had gone off at once on receiving the news. "Our best plan will be to go on and question the old woman. She may be able to tell us something definite we might even arrest her." "Oh, that's no good," said Kators, "she knows nothing at all she's only a woman Wellman got there to clean up and wait on him and the young lady. She is probably off to her own home by now."

Kators, clever as be thought himself, was evidently unaware of the tie existing between Norah and •'Wellman," and it was no part of my business to enlighten them. "Well» then, the caretaker of the mansion, or whoever it was who allowed Wellman to stop In the park during the absence of the owner he must surely know something about this precious Society and its plots."

Kators burst into aloud guffitw. "Oh, no, be don't, precious Innocent. I managed all that. I went there last week and gammoned my gentleman about a friend of mine as wanted to have a few days' fishing for the benefit of his health, and told him he might earn a •fiver' without any trouble to himself beyond holding his tongue, the boat being there all handy and fitted up. He fell into the trap at once, and took the bait, and will most likely get the sack from his master for his pains—he'll find that fiver rather a dear one before he's done." "Our best plan, then," said the Inspector, "will be to go on to the nearest railway station without losing any more time, and make enquiries there. Wellman will probably have left by the early train, and we may be able to trace him, as there are so few passengers in the morning—at that time, at least. But two hourB is a longlsh start. To the station as fast as you can, driver. Miss Trevor, I am sorry, we are not going your way, to give you a lift." "Thank you, I prefer to walk it is such a lovely morning," '•Good-day, then. I am glad to see you have not suffered by your temporary imprisonment. I must warn you that you will be required as a witness for the Crown if Wellman is captured "Which I most sincerely hope he will not be," was my inward oomment as I walked on. "Though why I take suoh an interest In him I know not, for by his own oonfession he was probably planning a blaok crime. That was a narrow shave for him had they mpt him inside the park they would have stopped to subjeot him to a most rigid examination, and perhaps arrested him. I do not fancy they will catch him now be knew better than to go to the station."

After this Interlude I put my best foot foremost, for time was passing, and I was anxious to get home. I was sorely tempted to linger once or twice, when he beauty of the hedgerows invited me stay and gather their blossoms, or me grassy bank invited a rest out of hot sun. But very soon even these .lid temptations were removed out of av path as the outskirts of the great Overgrown city were reaobed, and that typical London insitution, the suburban villa, appeared on the scene, followed up in quick succession by its sisters and its aunts and its cousins, all of them bearing a most remarkable family likeness the one to the other. Our own particular suburb was situated in the Northwest district, so it did not take me long, when onoe the foot of Hlgbgate Hill was passed, to reach our own doorstep. Just before I turned oft the main road into our street, the carriage containing the police and the informer overtook me, on its homeward way, and I held up my hand for the driver to stop. "Have you heard of the runaway?" I asked. "Nothing definite," was the answer. "But, from information we have gathered, we hope to arrest him before night." [TO BR CONTINTTKD.]

A CASE OF POISON.

Dispatoh, doctor 1" I opened the envelope and read: My daughter is very ill. Disease unknown. Come at once. HELKN TREVOR.

I had never met Mrs. Trevor, though her name was familiar to me as that of a widow of largo fortune and high social position, residing with her daughter upon a handsome estate a few miles from town. I found Mrs. Trevor in a state of tho deepest anxiety and distress. Her daughter had been ill for soino weeks already and was growing slowly and stoadily worse every day. The disease, which seemed to be a strange, painless decline of strength, without visible cause, had baffled the utmost skill and experience of the physicians. None of them could even give it a name, and one after another they had retired, confessing their defeat. She had heard of me, she said, in connection with some remarkable ourea. I promised to do my best.

I was shown to. Miss Trevor's room. She was about 18, and despite her languor and paleness one of the most beautiful beings I had ever seen. After a long and anxious examination I, too, was compelled to acknowledge my complete ignorance of the nature of the malady from which she was suffering. I could detect no fever, no organic lesion, nothing but a slow, fatal sapping of the vital forces. While I was questioning the girl there was a cautious rap at the door, and a voice inquired, "May I come in, dear HelenP"

What was there in the voice that affected me disagreeably? I am not given to fancies, but something in those smooth, persuasive tones chilled me like a note of warning. I saw the person who had spoken—the impression was deepened. She was a woman of 26 or 28, tall and slender of figure, pale of complexion, with very light hair and prominent features. Her eyes! I had never seen such eyes in a human countenanoe. They were of a dull blue, so faint as to be lmrdly discerniblo from the surrounding whites, and when her fac^was in shadow? they seemed to disappear in a sort of greenish haze. The effect was not pleasant.

This person was introduced to me as Miss Misane, a cousin of Mrs. Trevor's deceased husband. As she leaned over the siok girl's couch, touching the la'oes about her neck with her long, gaunt fingers, I had an ugly idea that those fingers would gladly clasp the soft, white throat and press the frail young life out of the body. It was an absurd fancy, and I could not help it—I had taken a strong dislike to tho woman, and I-was relieved when Mrs. Trevor invited me into her boudoir. Perplexod and ill at ease, I sat listening to the poor lady's gossip without heeding her words, until I was suddenly aroused from my reverie by an Important sentence, "If my poor girl dies, Martha Misane will inherit tho Whole of Mr. Trevor's fortune."

I started and looked at her with a strange thought taking shape in my mind. "The whole of ypur hv\sband's fortune?" I repeated mechanioally. "Yes. She is his only blood relation. Aside from my dower, the estate would go to her, nearly a million."

I rose to my feet and moved restlessly about the room. Turning abruptly to Mrs. Trevor, I said: "I do not profess at present to understand the malady w'ltn whioh your daughter is affeoted. With your permission, I will send drd to my assistant in town and remain hertwwhere I oan give my whole attentlong|||pbfiss Trevor." Mrs. Trevor clasped lip®' nnd in the fullness of her gratitude ana departed to give the neoessary direotion9 for my installation in the house. I watohed Martha Misane's face furtively as my intention was announoed. Was it imagination, or did I catch a qulok, malignant gleam in the glance eto.rast at me?

For tho next two weL^o gavo my whole time to studying my p?*^ut and watoh ing Miss Misane. Wild had coigfy believe firmly eventuffe/to overcome th was sui draining the yf^ng girl's life it niuif bo through disc%gring Martha Misane'# seoret. One moifflbig, after a night disturbed by harassing anxiety, I rose early and went down Sitirs to walk In the extensive grounds surrounding the dwelling. I had supposed that all of the inmates besides myself were still asleep, but on turning into a path in a distant oorner of the garden I came suddenly upon MissMisano, bending over a flower bod, whioh she seemed to bo weeding. She woro thick gloves and carried a small box in her hand. She seemed strangely agitated at sight of me. Shev dropped the box and stood gazing at mo in positive terror. I asked myself what It was she (eared I had discovered. "You are a devoted gardener," I remarked, at tho same time casting my eyes about to catch, if possible, some sign of what she had been engaged in.

it seemed, I hat if I were disease whioh

Yes," she stammered confusedly, "I love flowers." '•That is a very peculiar plant,' I said, pointing to a low, odd looking shrub over whioh sho had been bending. "What Is its name? I have never seen anything like it before." Her agitation increased as I approached tho plant. "I—yea—it is very peculiar, as you say -. It is a native of Java, I believe. The was given me by a friend, who brought it from the cast. It is called coluber, the snake plant."

Whllo she had leen speaking, I had bent over the plant in turn and stretched out my hand to couch it. She uttered a suppressed exclamation and seemed about ip restrain my arm. "It is unsafe to handle it without gloves," she said in an almost inaudible voice. "It Is said to irritate the skin." "Polsoribusf" I queried, drawing hack and looking at her. "Oh, no," she replied quickly, "not poisonous I Ob, dear, no! Only irritating."

With my mind fuLLof a new suspicion, Mr r&thor with a new direction of the old

suspicion, I bowed politely aud resumed my stroll. But, as soon as I saw her enter the house I returned to the spot and examined the coluber closoly. It was an evil looking thing, Tho loaves were thick and fleshy, shaped somewhat like a serpent's head and ooverfid wiiJi venomous looking brown spots. Hero and there, between opposite pairs of tho leaves, were small green globes, about the size of a pea—no doubt the fruit of the shrub. I struck one of them off with my oane, and I crushed it upon the ground. A black, visoid fluid escaped, while a strango, suffocating odor diffused itself through the air. It was an odor not to be forgotten, and so oppressive that I was glad to leave the spots, but I did so fully determined to keop an eye upon Miss Misane's gardening operationSpjLxsr dawn on the following morn-

before the coluber, she glanoed cautiously around. Apparently satisfied that she was nob observed, she plucked one of the green berries I have described and put it in the box, keeping it, as I saw, at the utmost distance from her face. Then she hurried away. As soon as she was out of sight, I stepped from my place of conoealment and likewise cut off one of the berries, whioh I secured in a small vial I had about me. Then I, too, returned to the house. Going to my room, I sat down to examine my specimen of the coluber. With the means of analysis which I had at hand I was unable to discover anything as to the properties of the'berry and was about to give up the task for a time, when I happened to observe on a plate apiece of bread from my last night's supper, which had been served in my apartment. Breaking off a small fragment, I squeezed a drop of the juioe upon it.

I went to the window and looked out. Just bolow me a stray fowl was scratching in the edge of a garden bod. I tossed the morsel within reach of the bird, who swalJ lowed it promptly. I awaited the result with breathless anxiety. For some moments longer the creature continued its search for food. Then it appeared to grow uneasy. Its eyes closed, its wings drooped, and its hAd fell upon its breast. Suddenly it dropped in a heap and lay motionless. I had discovered the properties of the coluber. I had deteoted Martha Misane's secret. I now know the disease from whioh Edna Trevor was slowly dying. With a reeling brain and quickly beating heart I fell into, a chair and re| mained a long time motionless, utterly overcome with my hideous discovery. Then, with my resolution formed, I arose and went down stairs. Edna was awake by this time, and I entered her room to inquire how she felt. With a sad, patient smile she informed me that she was even worse than tho day before. "No matter," I replied confidently, "from this day forth you will get better." "Thank heaven," said the eager voice of Mrs. Trevor, Vho had entered the room behind me. "But are you quite sure, doctor?" "I am," I answered firmly. "I have discovered the nature of the disease^ and I can cure it."

At that moment Martha Misane came in, bearing in her hands the breakfast, which, as usual", she had prepared for Edna. She placed the tray beside the girl's bed and assisted her to sit up. As Edna was about to take the soup whioh the woman offered her I checked her, and lifting the plate to my face smelled at it. As I had expeoted, the faint odor of the coluber was plainly evident. "We will begin the cure by rejecting Miss Misane's soup, whioh is not good for you."

With a ghastly face the woman leaned helphw^y against the bed, returning my gaze with a stare of abjeot fear. "Will you allow me a fow moments' conversation with you?" I said to her politely, but with a look which she understood.

She followed me silently into tho adjoining room and sank into a chair, while I olosed the door. "You see," said I, faoing her, "that your seoret is discovered. For the sake of gaining your cousin's inheritance you have been slowly poisoning his child with small doses of coluber, whose infernal properties you have learned, I know not BoW.

VMercy! mercy!" wailed the woman, oovering her face with her hands. I replied sternly: "What meroy have you shown this innocent girl and loving mother? But, for their sakes, there shall be no soandal. Leave this house within one hour, and, mark, if hereafter you dare show a sign of *your existence, you shall receive the punishment I now withhold. Go!" Trembling, she crawled out of the room, and within the stipulated time she had departed and was never heard of again. From that day Edna gained rapidly In strength and in a month had recovered her full health and beauty.—London TitBits.

His Papers Hai-ded Up.

She was the daughter of a judge, and she listened with languid interest to his pleas. "I love you devotedly," he declared passionately. "I am prepared to devote my life to you." "Be speciflo in your pleading," she cautioned. "Do not stray too far from the point at issue."

He hesitated, and then asked earnestly: "Will you be my wife?" "Ah," she said, "now I see the point you wish to make!" "I am not rioh," he urged, "but I have tnough to give you a comfortable home, And my prospects are bright. I offer you the love of an honest man, who will do all in his power to make you happy. I"—

She stopped him by a gesture. "It is useless to continue at present," she said filnnly, but kindly. "There are several cases ahead of yours on the docket.'' "But," he protested VI want"—

She stopped him ag&rii. "I must- insist that these matters be taken up in their regular order," she said sharply. "Put your proposition in writing and file it with my maid, and it will receive due attention when it is reached in the regular course of business. I haven't to listen to oral arguments in a case can as well be presented In briefs."

He went and put in his time until late that night.preparing a petition for a rehearing.—Chicago Post.

She was obliged to punish liffcr., after which she administered a solemn sermon for the youngster's benefit.

"I s'poee I'd ought to respect you on account of your age."

Her First Speech on Woman's Bights. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the pioneer suffragist, has this to say of her maiden 5 \M ,: :X

When I returned home from my wedding trip, I decided to hold a convention and disouss woman's rights, for I considered the condition of woman atfout as degraded as that of the slaves on the southern plantation. I wrote to my two friends in the legislature to know if I could have a hearing on the married woman's property bill, and they replied 'Yes.' From 1840 to 1848 Ernestine h. Rose, Paulina Wright and myself, had circulated petitions in the state of Now York. "I used to go tip in the garret every day and read over my speech, thinking I could slip to Albany and buck without the knowledge of anybody but the legislature, and one day, when I was thinking of all this, my father entered with the old Albany Evening Journal, edited by Thurlow Weed. He laid the paper down in front of me and said, 'What does this mean?' and there I read, 'Elizabeth Cady Stanton is to address the legislature on Monday afternoon at 2 o'olook on the married woman's property bill.' "I answered, 'I suppose it means what it says.' He was perfeotly confounded, and so was "Then he said, 'When my clients have gone, I wish you would read it to me.' I was in the depths of despair. I had never seen my name in print before and thought it was the most awful disgrace that could befall a woman. "When I read my speech to my father, he suggested several improvements and found worse laws for illustration than I had, working with me until 1 o'clock in the morniug. Yet for a conservative old judge to have his daugh Jer the subject of ridicule was a deep blow. I spoke two hours, and this my first speech was published in The Evening Journal. That same year, 1848, the married woman's property law passed and gave married women their rights to their property." ...

Robin Redbreast.

The country people of England, as well as of several other countries, have an'idea that the red of the robin's breast was caused by a drop of blood which fell upon it at the crucifixion. According to the story, the robin, commiserating the condition of Christ, tried to pluck the crown of thorns from his brow, and, in doing so, got its breast wet with the blood flowing from the wounds. The color became permanent, being transmitted from generation to generation, and thus, according to the legend, the robin is a perpetual reminder of the sufferings of Christ.

Tlie Staff of The Times-Herald. t'y- National Hotel Reporter. The Times-Herald, as conducted by Mr. Kohlsaat, is in many respects the greatest newspaper in the United States. Its new owner and publisher is expending money with a liberal hand, and it is probably true that the payroll of The Times-Herald is to-day considerably larger than that of any other American newspaper. Mr. Kohlsaat has, in fact, secured the services of nearly ail the great newspaper writers of the day. Cornelius McAulift, the managing editor, is a man of pronounced ability. Moses P. Handy, who is in charge of the editorial page, and who contributes, twice a week, some enter, taining matter over his own signature, is known from one end of the country to the other as a ready writer and brilliant journalist. Mrs. Margaret Sullivan, who is regarded as one of the best writers in this country, retains her position on the editorial staff. E. V. Smalley, who has recently returned to America from a lengthy sojourn in London, has been added to' the. corps of writers on Chicago's great newspaper. Frank Jj. Stanton, whose poems appeal so strongly to the human heart, has a column of verses twice a week on the editorial page, and they are being widely copied. Hamlin Garland has recently become a contributor to this paper. Lyman B. Glover, so long the accomplished dramatic editor of The Herald, now contributes well written articles on various topics over his own signature. Walter Wellman, the well known Washington correspondent, is retained in the same capacity. Elwyn A. Barron, who was for so many years the dramatic critic of the Inter Ocean, is now attached to The Times-Herald, with a residence in London, and is writing some very scholarly and delightful letters from the metropolis of Great Britain. Charles Lederer, who as a cartoonist has no superior, has recently been sent to Europe by Mr. Kohlsaat, and some illustrated articles from his pen are now appearing. Joseph Howard, Jr., a brilliant and caustic writer, long connected with the New York press, is now a regular contributor to The Times-Herald. George* Alfred Townsend, the talented "Gath" of the Cincinnati Enquirer and other papers, is writing for Mr. Kohlsaat, and has recently sent some very delightful letters from eastern summer resorts. Mary Abbott Is the literary critic, and also contributes entertainingly to the editorial page. Kate Field, the brilliant journalist and lecturer, has been engaged, and will shortly viBit Hawaii under commission from the enterprising proprietor of this great Chicago newspaper. Other men and women of almost equal renown in the newspaper world have been secured by Mr. Kohlsaat, and it Is undoubtedly true that no other journal in this country has upon its staff so many brilliant, able and highpriced writers.
