"Certainly the money Is left to 'my daughter,' but as the marriage favith your mother unfortunately is ie vold I fear you would not %nb;eritl. However," he said grimly, "there ,would be a certain pleasure in taking the money from that woman. Maud is a mere puppet in her bands," he laugh- ed. "And then Stay would. marry a poor bride," he ended maliciously. Sylvia could not quite understand all this and gave up trying to solve the problem with a pretty gesture of India. f, r'nee. "What will yon do, Paul?" she asked. "I'll see Kurd and tell him what you .and Deborah say about the age of Maud ICrI1l " "Why net see Mr. Pash?" `e"Because he is a traitor," replied $ascot darkly, "and, knowing he has lost your confidence, be will certainly try and give Maud Brill possession of the money. No, T'1l speak to Hurd, who is m'y friend and yours. He is clever and will be able to unravel this tan- gle." "Tell him about the goor also, Paul;" "Yes. I'll explain everything I can, and then I'll get bim to go down to Christchurch and see what happened there . when your father lived with Mand's mother." "What did happen, Paul?" asked Syl- via anxiously. "Nothing," be replied with an as- , sumption of carelessness, for he did not want to tell the girl about the fate of Lady Rachel Sandal, "but we may find in your father's past life what led to his murder." "Do you think Mrs. Brill had any- thing to do with it?" "My own, you asked that question before. No, I don't. Still, one never knows. I should think Mrs. Krill is a dangerous woman, although, I fancy, too clever to risk being hanged. How- ever, Hurd can find out if she was in town on the night your father was killed." "That was on the 6th of July," said Sylvia. "Yes. And he was murdered at 12." "After 12," said Sylvia. "I heard the policeman on his beat at a quarter past, and then I came down. Poor fa- ther was strangled before our very eyes," she said, shuddering. "Hush, dear. Don't speak of it," said Paul, rising. "Let us talk of more in- ' teresting subjects." "Paul, I can think of nothing till I learn who killed my poor father and 'why he was killed so'crueny." "Then we must wait patiently, Syl- via. Hurd is looking after the matter, and I have every confidence in Hurd. And, by Jove," added Beecot, with an afterthought, "Mrs. Krill doubled the 'reward. Were she concerned in the matter she would not risk sharpening the wits of so clover a man as. Hurd. No, Sylvia, whosoever strangled your father it was not Mrs. Krill." "It was this Indian," insisted Syivllat "and he's a thug." Paul laughed, although he was far from thinking she might be wrong Of course It seemed, ridiculous that a thug should strangle the old man. In the first place, the thugs have been blotted out. In the second, if any sar-': vived, they certainly world not even -i else their devilish religion in England,' and"in the thlrrl, Hokar, putting sudden his offering strangled victims to Rho -I ;wane, the goddess of the sect, had no reason for slaying an unoffendtng man.

"Very glad," he an-' swered, ¶that is, if you have dere auything about Mrs, Krill?" "WeIl," drawled the detective, smll• ing, "I have been investigating tbat murder case," "Lady Rachel Sandal'a?" said Bee - cot ohgerly, "/s it really murder?" "I think so, though some folks think it suicide. Curious you should have stumbled across that young lord," went on Hurd musingly. "and more Curious still that he should have been in the room with Mrs. gill without recollecting the name. There was a great fuss made about it at the date," "Oh, 1 eats understand Lord George," said Beecot promptly. "The murder, if it is cue, took place before he was born, and, as there seems to have been some scandal in the matter, the family bushed it up. Thta young fellow proba- bly gathered scraps of information from old servants, but from what he said to me in the cab I think he knows very little." "Quite enough to put me .on the track of Lemuel Krill's reason for leaving Ch ristchurclt." • "Is that the reason?' "Yes. Twenty-one years ago he left Christchurch, at the very time Lady Rachel was murdered in his public house. Then he disappeared for a time and turned up a year later in Gwynne street, with a young wife whom he lad married in the mean- time." "Sylvia's mother?' "Exactly. And Miss Norman ores born a year later. She's nearly twenty- one, isn't she?" "Yes. She will be twenty-one in three months." Hurd nodded gravely. "Tee time cor- responds," said he. "As the crime was. committed twenty-three years back and Lord George is only twenty, I can understand how he knows so little about it, But didn't he eonnect Mrs. Krill with the man who died in Gwynne street?' "No, She explained that. The name of Krill appeared only a few times in the papers and was principally set forth, with the portrait, in the hand- bills. I shouldn't think Lord George was the kind of young man to bother about handbills." "All the _same, he might have beard talk at his club. Every one isn't ao stupid." "No; . but; at all events, he did not seem to connect lifrs. Krill with the dead man, and, even with regard to the death of his sant, he fancied she might not be the same woman." "What an ass be must ben' said Hurd contemptuously. "I don't think he has much brain," confessed ,Paul, shrugging his Shoul- ders, "bpt he asked me if I thought Mrs. Krill was the same as the land- lady of the Red Pig, and I denied that she was. I don't like telling Iies, but in this case I hope the departure from truth will be par'doned." "You did very right," said the detee- tive. "The fewer people know about these matters the better, especially a chatterbox like this young fool" "Do you know him?" "Yes, under the name of the Count de la 'tour. tut I know of him in ant other way, which I'll reveal later. Hay is still fleecing him?" "He is. But Lord George seems to be growing suspicious of Hay," and Paul related the conversation he had with the young man. Had grunted. "I'm sorry," he said. "I want to catch Hay redhanded, and if Lord George grows too clever I may not be able to do so," "Well," said Paul, rather impatient- ly, mpatiently, "never mind about that fenaw just now, but tell me what you bave dis- covered."

Ill marry her and take her abroad sooner than she should learn of this previous murder. But how did it happen?" "I'll tell you in a few minutes:" Hurd rose and began to pace the nen. row limits of the attic. "By the way, do you know that Norman was a se- cret drinker of brandy?" Paul nodded, and told the detective what be clad learned from Airs. Krill. tIurd was much struck with the intent- genee. "I see," said be; "what Mrs. Krill says Is quite true. Drink does ihan;e the ordinary nature Into the apposite. Krill sober was a timid rub- pit; Krill drunk was a murderer and a thief. Good Lord, and how be drank," "flow do you know?" "Well," confessed Hurd, nursing bis chin, "rash and T went to search the Gwynne street house to find if possible the story alluded to In the scrap of paper Deborah Junk found. We couldn't drop across anything of that sort, but in Norman's bedroom, which nobody ever entered, we found brandy bottles by the score -under the bed, ranged along the walls, filling cup- boards, stowed away in boxes, I had the curiosity to count them. Those we found • ran up to 500, and Lord knows now many more he must have got rid of when he found the bottles crowding him inconveniently." "I expect he got drunk every night," said Paul, thinking, "When he locked up Sylvia and Deborah in the upper room -I can understand now why be did so -he could go to the cellar and take possession of the shop key lett on the nail by Bart. Then, free from all intrusion, he could drink till reeling. Not that I think he ever did reel," went on Beecot, mindful of what Mrs. Krill had said; "he could stand a lot, and I expect the brandy only converted him into a demon." "And a clever business man," said Hurd. "You know Aaron Norman was not clever over the books. Bart sold those, but from all accounts he was a Shylock when dealing, after 7 o'clock, in the pawnbroking way. I ' under- stand now. Sober, he was a timid fool; drunk, be was a bold, clever villain." "My poor Sylvia, what a father," sighed Paul. "But this crime"-- "I'li tell you about it. Lemuel Krill and his wife kept the Red P'J. at Christchurch, a little public house it is, on the outskirts of the town, frequent- ed by farm laborers and such like. The business was pretty good, but the cou- ple didn't look to making their fortune. airs. Krill was a farmer's daughter." "A Buckinghamshire farmer," said Paul. "How do you know? Oh (on receiv- ing information), Mrs. Brill told ma so? Well, considering the murder of Lady Rachel, she would have done bet- tor to hold her tongue and have com- menced life with her dead husband's money under a new name. She's a clever woman, too," mused Hurd. "I can't understand her being so unneces- sarily frank." "Never mind. Go on," said Paul im- patiently. Hurd returned to his seat and refill- ed his pipe. "Well, then," he contin- ued, "Krill got drunk and gave his wife great trouble. Sometimes he thrashed her and blacked her eyes, and he treated their daughter badly too." "How old was the daughter?" "I can't say. Wby do you ask?' "I'll tell you later. Go on, please." "Well, then, Mrs. Krill always re- venged herself on her husband when he was sober ,and timid, se the couple were evenly matched.

"Where does Lady Rachel come to?' "What an impatient chap you are," remonstrated Hurd in a friendly tone. "I'm coming to that now. 'Lady Rachel err i quarreled w e th ber father over some young artist she wanted to marry. He would not allow the lover to come to the hall, so Lady Rachet said she would kill herself rather than give him up." "And she did," said Patti, thinking of the suicide theory. "There you go again. How am I to tell you alt when yon interrupt?" "I beg your pardon. I won't do so again." Hurd nodded smilingly and contin- ued. "One night -it was dark and stormy -Lady Rachel had a row royal with her father. Then she ran out of the hall saying her father would never see her alive again, She may have in. tended to commit suicide certainly or she may have intended to join her lover in London. But whatever she intended to do, the rain cooled her, She staggered into Christchurch and fell down insensible at the door of the Red Pig. Mrs. Krill brought her in- doors and laid ber on n bed." "Did she know who the lady was?" Hurd shook his head. "She said in her evidence that she did not, but liv- ing in the neighborhood she certainly must have seen Lady Rachel some- times. ICrill was drunk as usual. Re had been boozing all the day with a skipper of some craft at Southampton. He was good for nothing, so Mrs. Krill did everything. She declares that she went to bed at 11, leaving Lady Rachel sleeping." "Did Lady Rachel recover her senses?" "Yes -according to Mrs. Krill -but she refused to say' who she was and merely stated that she would sleep at the Red Pig that night and would go on to London next morning. Mrs. Krill swore that Lady Rachel had no Idea of cemnritting suicide. Well, about midnight Mrs. gill, who slept in one room with her daughter, was awak- ened by loud shouts. She sprang to her feet and hurried out; her daughter came also, as she had been awakened find was terrified. Mrs. Krill found that her husband was raving mad with drink and smashing the furniture in the room below. The skipper" -- "What was the skipper's name?" "Jessop-Jarvey Jessop. Well, he also, rather drunk, was retiring to bed and stumbled by chance into Lady Rachel's room. He found her quite dead and shouted for assistance. The poor lady had a silk handkerchief she wore tied tightly round her throat and fastened to the bedpost, When Jessop saw this, he ran out of the inn in dismay. Mrs. Krill descended to give the alarm to her neighbors, but Krill struck her down and struck his daughter also, making her mouth bleed. An opal brooch that Lady Ra- chel wore was missing, but Mrs. Krill only knew of that the next day. She 'was insensible from the blow given by ICrill, and tbe daughter ran out to get assistance. When the neighbors entered, Krill was gone, and, notwith- Standing all the search made for him, he could not be found," "And a'essop3" -"He turned up and explained that he had been frightened on finding the woman dead.

RHEUMATISM RECIPE, Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet Remarkable Home Mixture. A well-known authority on Rheuma- tism gives the following valuable, though simple and harmless, presorip- tion, which any one can easily prepare at home. Fluid Extrant Dandelion, one-half entice; Compound Kargon, one ounee; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces, Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescription pharmaoy at small Dost, and, being of vegetable extraction, are harmless to take. This pleasant mixture, if taken reg. ularly for a few days, is said to over- come almost any case of Rheumatism. The pain and swelling, if any, dimin- ishes with each dose, until permanent results are obtained, and without in- juring the stomach. While there are many so'ealled Rheumatism remedies, patent medioines, eto., some of which do give relief, few really give perma• tient results, and the above will, no doubt, be greatly appreciated by men9 sufferers here at this time. - Inquiry at the drug stores of this neighborhood elioits the information that these drags are harmless and can he bought separately, or the drnggtste bore will mix the preeaription far our readers if asked to.
