CHAPTER XI.

THE SIX POINTED STAB.

It was on the stroke of half-past eight as I at last ascended our own doorsteps »nd knocked for admittance. Jane gave a scream of mingled fear and delight 'when she saw me—I think she was not quite certain, until I spoke, if I were not my own ghost. "Oh, Miss Minnie!"shesaid,in answer to my greeting. "They 'ave not mar •dered you, then! We all thought as 'ow they 'ad murdered you, and 'idden away your pore body." "Nonsense, Jane don't let your invagination run away with you so fast. Is your mistress down yet, and the others?" "The missus? Lor no, Miss Minrild, your pore ma was took ill the very day as you was carried off, and shg 'asn't been downstairs since. Miss Lesbia, she's been a nursing of her, and as for Mr. Dymooke "Yes, what of Mr. Dymocke?" I 'paused to ask, for I was already half|i way up the stairs. "Well, Mr. Dymocke, he were like one

An increased pressure against his ^breast was the only answer I received, tf^jLbut it satisfied me. Looking up, I saw 3' vf'^the dear blue eyes filled with tears. fjfci r-i "Did you care so much?" I whispered, -igi§^|jiiy own eyes overflowing in sympathy. |^i§|§ "What a question!" he said, trying to ffyj^smile. "I wonder, child, if you will sever quite realize how muoh."

We were silent again, then but presently remorse smote me, and I raised myself resolutely out of his arms. "Oh, poor mother!" I cried. "We are

!f|quite

forgetting her!"

"G°i then, but return quickly, my ^darling. I have not half looked at you, N^yet, and there is muoh to tell mp." "There is Indeed!" I began.

don't beiieve you got nay letter at all," I said, drawing Lesbia aside as we left mother's bedroom. I would not stay longer in there, for I quickly saw that the exoitement and joy of re union was becoming too great a strain for the Invalid so I sternly refused all explanations, getting out presently under the plea of hunger. Dear mother deolared the sight of me had made her well already, and she announced her intention of getting up later on and ooming downstairs to hear my story, in company with •the rest of the family. "No," said Lesbia, in answer to my question. "We never beard a single word, nood or bad." fjjj "Ah, I was afraid you would not get it in any case it could not have arrived r^vntll this morning by the first post, but '^1 quite expected, under the circumstances, to hear that the messenger for1 'got altogether to post It." 5' "What olrcumstances—I am dying to ^thear all about everything," said my sister, "Do be quick and begin." fl§ "Not now the others must hear it also, and it is far too long to be told twloe. But I want to know what happened after I left on Monday morning when did Jack return?" j&V'. "About half an hour after ybu Started ^'^with the detective." & "Don't call him the detective he was an impostor, sent on purpose to decoy mo on a false errand." "Ah! so John seemed to know at once, when we told him where you had gone. must say John puzzled me rather—I have not mentioned It to anyone else,

I don't mind you—he was,so very

ipnneasy from the very first moment, be||lifore any of us even suspected that there be something wrong He rushed ^Nout of the house Immediately, saying he should go to Scotland Yard to make enquiries, but at ten o'clock at night, and not till then, he returned, saying he had been prevented going after all! You should have seen his face, Minnie, when he heard you wert» not here—he was white enough before, goodness knows— but I never did see anyone go so white as he did then—It was perfectly ghastly.

Without another word, as though struok 'dumb, he went out at the front door, almost like a person walking in sleep, and we saw no more of him until the following morning—that was yesterday, you know. I was up all night with mother,

baok at any hour. You see by this time we were quits sure that you had not run away your Lesbia. "Thank you," I answered drily. "I

My sister meanwhile stared at me blankly, uncertain whether I were joking or not. "We were In a fever of anxiety *11 yesterday morning," she continued. "John being away, and no news of you either. Just about dinner time John oame in.

'j"[ "Oh, no, a very different kind of person. I did not see the first one, as you know, but Jane told me afterwards how different he was. If nothing else had warned us that some trick had been practiced upon you, that fact alone would have done it. Well, John went forward eagerly to meet the detective. 'Mr. Coy len,' he exclaimed,

As for Jane, she rupting the story. "Do you know what

was just about to

start for Scotland Yard to give some very important information, which I trust may have the result of bringing Miss Trevor back to us. This paper dontains the names and lull description of the men wanted in connection with the tragedy at Wayborough, and it is my firm belief that where they are found, there will also Miss Trevor be. You will see by this, what kind of men you have to deal with.' The detective took the olose

and there. May I ask, sir, why this Information was not given earlier?' And he looked at John in a suspicions kind of way." "Gave their names!" I broke in, inter-

you are saying, Lesbia? Are you sure he said names?" "Perfectly certain," was the answer. "Why not? DiI yoju not tell him those yourself?" "No, I most certainly did not and for a good reason—I never knew them. They called each other nicknames in my dream." "Oh! then I wonder how—oh, Minnie, do you mean "I mean nothing," I interposed hastily, but with dry lips, startled to find my, half-formed suspicions shared by my stolid,slow-thinking sister. "Goon with your story what did Jack answer?"

No, I meant nothing, I would mean nothing I must have time to think. 'There were reasons, weighty reasons,' Jack said," continued my sister, 'and my hands were tied I only got that information written down late last night.' And then he whispered something which I could not oatch, but which seemed to satisfy the detective, who gave a start and glanced at the signature to the document in his hand, and then he whispered something back. 'Nothing could have happened better, now come to think,' continued Coy len aloud. 'For, as it ohances, I think I know where these men are to be found 1 have had my eye lately on the hou§0—r a respectable-lookingplabe enough, down in the city. I thought, unleBs I was very muoh mistaken, that there was something queer going on there. I shall surround the place seoretly to-night, and we ought to lime our birds quite easily.' •For God's sake be careful how you go to work,' said Juhn, turning quite pale. 'Remember that one false step might ruin everything, and then I shudder to think what would become of Misa Trevor. I wish I could go with your party, but I am most unavoidably detained here.' "The whole of the afternoon and evening," oontlnued Lesbia, "we were longing and hoping to see you return. John was out all night again. He muat only have come in before you did this morning did you ever see anyone look so ill? But now you are oome at last, so he will be happy again. Tell me, were you at that house in the city, kept prisoner by those horrid men?" "No, I was at some distance from there, and the police with all their oleverness, would have searched for me In yain, had not one of the gang turned traitor and given information which led to my being sent home."

Why, Minnie," said my wondering sister, peering into my face "If the idea was not too absurd for words, I should say that you spoke almost as though you were sorry to oome." "Rubbish!" I answered, flushing uncomfortably. "As if I should be sorry to get safely baok to you all what nonsense you do talk, Lesbia! Come, let us go to breakfast Jack will be wondering what has become of us."

I went downstairs like one in a maze. The names given, and by my own lover! My God! Who, then, was he?

At breakfast time we were all rather dilent, with the exception of the boys. I avoided Jaok's eyes, and tried to oover my not eating by a seemingly attentive listening to Dick's graphlo account of their last orlcket match. But the effort was very great, and I felt all the time that Jaok's eyes were upon me in wonder. I was bitterly angry with myself for my ausplolons of my lover, while knowing all the time that something had oome between us—something that

Now that the moment .had oome, my heart failed me, and I wished to put off the evil hour. Best to remain for ever

the feeling of hesitation^ must, know the truth!

He looked at me in tt curiously startled way, attraoted by the suspiolous sound in my voice, which unoonsolously reflected my thoughts. "It is along story," he answered. "I have no desire for oonoealment, but, do you not think I might be allowed to hear about your adventures first? Remember, I am at present quite in the dark as to where you have spent the last two days, and how you have been treated."

My suspicions returned upon me with two-fold force—this was an evasion, I thought, miserably. "Are you sure you are so Ignorant?" I asked, pointedly. "Why, what do you mean?" he retorted, looking very surprised^,. Was the surprise real? iv "Only that I have been putting two and two together, and I find one or two oiroumstanoes hard to explain. "Is your boasted faith in me.indeed so short lived?" he began, in a regretful tone, and with a sad smile, which made me all at onoe feel myself a mean-spirit-ed wretch, and long to put my arms round his neck, and sue for pardon. But while I was hesitating between my desire to know the truth and my wish for peace at any, price, almost, indeed, as Jack spoke, there came a ring at the front dpor which resounded loudly through the house, and In another moment thd parlor door was thrown open, and "Miss Stanhope" was announced. 'I must apologize for calling at this early hour," she began, ooming to meet me with outstretched hand. "But—oh, have you heard the news?" she went on*, too exolted for ceremony. "Those men who murdered my Susie are taken, and with them most of the members of the secret society to whioh Edmond Dal ton belonged." "Is Edmond Dalton a prisoner?" I asked, eagerly. "He is not, I am sorry to say. But we shall at least obtain some clue to his whereabouts, and have him brought to Justice." 'You are as bitter against him as ever?" "I see no reason for being otherwise my opinion of him has not changed." -j 'Is it not possible that he might be dead?" observed Jack, quietly, and speaking for the first time.

Miss Stanhope looked at him in a won dering kind of way, as if questioning who he might be, and by what right he interfered. I introduced them to each other, explaining Jaok's connection with me. "Ah," Miss Stanhope said then, not unkindly. "Then, of course, Mr. Dymooke, you know everything, Miss Trevor will have told you. No, I really see no reason why Edmond Dalton should be, dead—if by dead you mean that those men murdered him. It seems to me clear that he trembled for his share in the conspiracy, whatever it was, and so kept silence."

Jaok did not oontradict her, but I could not help fancying that I heard a stifled sigh escape from him as he walked again to the window, as though he had lost an interest in the conversation. "I should have set the detectives to work long ago," Miss Stanhope explained, turning again to me. "But I was ill the day after I arrived at Wayboroughs You were right—the journey, [OONTINUBD ON THIRD PAGE.]

Against the New Woman.

ANew York minister took occasion to make these remarks about the new woman at a charity event given reoently there. He said: "This higher education of "women has had one bad effect—it makes the men shake in their shoes and lose that supreme consciousness of superior intelligence which used to carry them oyer difficult places. In the good old days a man could make an innocent, original remark, like 'A thing of beauty is a joy forever,' to a young woman with the hope of being appreciated. Now he would be floored by the answer, 'Well, perhaps, sometimes but, indeed, there are timeu when science proves it otherwise.' "The new woman mows everything. She can even support herself. The clinging vine f-peoies is gradually beooming extinct. The combinations and arrangements for the costumes of a modern society belle require as muoh brain effort as the mind of a Solon or Aristotle oould supply."

Wife Moat Support Her Husband. Aocording to a decision rendered in Justice Brown 'a court, wives are legally responsible for the support of their hutsbands and their families, providing the husbands are unable to support themselves or their families. This decision of Justice Brown's created great surprise to the legar fraternity and was the cause of much comment and speculation. The attorneys appear to be divided in their opinions as to whether the decision will hold in a highter court.

A number of business men and brewery owners have been awaiting the outcome of the trial in Justioe Brown's court, and they said after they had heard of the decision that they would at once begin suits against the wives of their to any debtors who had contracted debts ind refused to pay them.—Cleveland

Bodtou Womaa'r BwIdoh LEASAC. The influenoe whioh rooh an association As the Boston Woman's Business league must exert on the relations of the sexes cannot be passed by without some notice.-*

Common justice, practical good sense, and the determination to enlighten women iu regard to their legal rights were the chief motives for this organization, whioh has already reaped a signal success among a large class of interested persons. There is no nonsense about the league. It has been reared on the strictest business principles, and sentiment and society, or any of the frivolous jealousies of olub life are absolutely foreign to it.

Legal, information, a olear exposition of woman's status, are the incentives which have brought together many of t^e leading women in this oity and banded them in all seriousness,for the study of their rights as maintained by law. Married women, while quite willing to shirk their responsibilities in times of peace, have discovered too lata their ignorance, and have lost both time and money in trying to grapple with the red tape of the law when necessity obliged them to aot independently of their lords and masters. Much that is foolish or totally impracticable actuates half informed women to claim "rights" that by no law could possibly be theirs. They jump at conclusions, having no knowledge of the gulf lying between them, and t'^en they are greatly astonished if tbey come to grief, particularly in this present day, when women believ^ they are "emancipated."

It is the ajtn of the Boston Woman's Business league to so instruct its members that no blunders which may end in the divorce courts, no mistakes in the handling of property, no ideas in regard to the infallibility of "trusts," can possibly be made or overlooked by an up to date woman with money or a husband. —Boston Herald.
