"Ah!" Mr Gorby drew a long
•:breath, fur '•huraday week welt tire
night when the mueder was com-
mitted.
"Bain' troubled with my 'earl,"
said Mrs Sampson,, "t1u'o' 'aviu'
been out in the sten all day a-wastiiu',
I did not feel so partial to my bed
that night as in general, so went
down to the kitchen with the intent
of getting a linseed poultice to put
at the back of my 'ead, it being cal-
culated to remove pain, as was told
to me, when a noes, by a doctor in
the horspital, '5 now being in busi-
ness for hisself, at Geelong, with u
huge family, 'aviu' married early.
Just as I was leavin' the .kitchen T

turnin' round, Iooked at the clock,
_that 'avin' been my custom when
my late 'usband came in the

meal."
"And the time was?" asked Mr
Corby, breathlessly.
"Five minutes to 2 o'clock," re-
plied Nits Sampson. •
Mr Gorby thought for a moment.

ed -for St. Kilda about ten minutes

it would take anothee twenty min-
utes to get to East Melbourne—and
five minutes to walk up here—that
makes it five minutes past 2 instead
of before—confound it! "Was your
dock in the kitchen right?" he asked,
aloud.
'"Well, I think so," answered Mrs
Sampson. "It does get a little
slow sometimes, not'avin' bin clean-
ed for some time, which my nevy
bein' a wattebmaker I inlays 'ands
it over to 'im."
"Of course it was slow on that
night," said Gorby, triumphantly.
"He must liaye come in at five min-
utes past 2—which makes it right"
"Makes what right?" asked the
• landlady, sharply. "And 'ow do
you know my clock was ten minuted
wrong?"
".Oh, it was,uas it?" askediGerby,
eagerly.
"I'In net denyiu' that it wasn't,"
• replied Alts Sampson; "clocks ain't

"Oh, all that will be quite safe,"
answered the detective, delighted,
delighted at having obtained the re-
quired information. "Is this Mr
Fitzger'ald's room?" .
"Yes, it is," replied the landlady;

llere a ring at the front door bell
called Mrs Sampson away, so witha
hurried word to Gorby she crackled
down stairs. Left to himself, -Mr
Corby arose and lookedaround the
room. • it was excellently furnished,
and the pictures on the wall were
alt in good taste. There was a
writing table at one end of the loons
under the window, which was cov-
ered with paper's.
e'It's no good looking for the
l)apel•a lid took out of Whyte's
pocket, 1 suppose," 'aid the detec-
tive to himself, as he turned over
sonic lettere, "as I don't know what
they are, and couldn't tell them if
k saw them; but I'd like to' find. that
missing glove and the bottle that
held the chloroform --unless he's
done away with them. There doesn't
seem any sign of them here, s0 I'll
have a look in his bedroom."
- There was no time to lose, as
Mrs Sampson might return at any
moments() Mr Gorby walked quick-
ly into the bedroom, which opened
,g
oil the sittn D loom. The first thing
that caught the detective's eye was
a large photograph of Madge Frettl-
by in a plush frame, which stood
on the dressing table. It was the
same kind he had already seen in
11 'hyte's album, and he took it up
with a laugh.
"You're a pretty girl," 110 said,
apostrophizing the picture, "but you
give your photograph to two young
men, both in love with you, and
both hot tempered. The r auib is
that one is dead,and the other won't
survive hire long. Thar,'" what
you've done."
He put it down again,and looking
round the room, caught sight of a
light covert coat hanging behind
the door, and also a soft hat,,
"Ab," said the detective, going
up to the door, "here is the very
coat you e'oro when you killed that
poor fellow. 1 wonder what you
have in the pockets," and lie plung•
fid his hand into them in turn.
There was an o.id theatre programme
and a pair of brown gloves in one,
but in the second pocket Ma.•Gotby
made a discovery—none enter than
that of the missing glove. There it
was-- a soiled white giove for the
right hand, with black Windt down
the back; and the detective smiled
in a gratified manner as he lett it
carefully in his pocket.

The door opened and Mrs Samp-

"Did l understand yeti to say,

Mr Fitzgerald would be at home
this afternoon?"
• "Oh, yes, sir, 'o will," answered
Mss Sampson, "a drinkin' tea with

by, and 'as got no' end of "money—

She shut the door and went up
stairs to take away the breakfast
'things, while Gorby was being
driven along at a good pace to the
police office, in order to get a war-
rant for Brian's arrest on a charge of
wilful murder.

CHAPTER X.
• IN THE QUEEN'S NAME.
It a broiling hot day—one of
those cloudless days, with the blaz-
ing, sun beating down on the arid
streets, and casting deep black
shadows. By rights it was a De-
cember day, but the clerk of the
weather had evidently got a little
mixed, and popped it into tho mid-
dle of August by mistake. The
previous week, however, had been
a little chilly, and this delightfully
hot day had come as a pleasant sur-
prise and as a forecast of sum -mer.
It was Saturday afternoon, and, of
course, all fashionable Melbourne
was doing the Block. With regard
to its "Block," Collins street cor-
responds to New York's Broadway,
London's Regent street and Rotten
Row, and to the Boulevards of
Paris. It is on ilia Block that peo-
ple show ell' their new dresses, bow
to their friends, cut their enemies
and chatter small talk.
Carriages were bowling smoothly
along, their occupants smiling and
bowing as they recognized their
friends en the sidewalk; lawyers,
their legal quibble finished for the
week, were strolling leisurely along,
with their black bags in their hands;
portly merclaant,foi•getting Flinders
lane and incoming ships, were walk-
ing beside their pretty daughters;
and the representatives of swelldom
were stalking along in their custom-
ary apparel of curly hats, high
collars, and masher suits. Alto-
gether it was a verypleasant and
animated scene, and would have
delighted the heart of anyone who
was not dyspeptic, nor in leve—
dyspeptic people end lovers (disap-
pointed ones, of course,) being ac-
customed to sln'vey the world in a
cynical vein.
Madge 'Frettlby was engaged in
that pleasant occupation so dear to
every female ,heart, of shopping.
She was in Mowbray, Rowan &
Hicks', turning over ribbons and
laces, while the faithful Brian wait-
ed for her outside, and amused him-
self by looking
at the human stream
which flowed 'along the pave-
ment. Brian disliked shopping
quite as much as the rest of Iris "sex,
but, being a lover, of course. it was
his duty to be martyrized, though
he could not help thinking of his
pleasant club, where he could Neve
'been reading and smoking, with
something cool in a glass beside him.
After Madge bad purchased a dozen
articles she did not want, and had
interviewed her dressmaker oa th
momentous subject of a new dress,
she remembered that Brian was
waiting for her, and hurried quickly
to the door.
"I haven't been many minutes,
have 1, dear?" she said,touohing him
lightly on the arm,
"Oh, dear, no," answered Brian,
looking at his watch, "only thirty—
a Biero nothing considering a new
dress was being discussed."
"I thought,' had been longer'
said Madge, her brow gathering,
"but still I am sure you feel a
martyr."
"Not at all," replied Fitzgerald,
handing her into the carriage; "I
enjoyed myself very much."
"Nonsense," she laugbed,opening,
her sunshade, While Brian took his
seat beside her; "that's one of those
social stoma which everyone eon -
eiders thealselvesbound to tell from
a sense of Baty. I'm afraid I did
keep you waiting --though after all,"
sire went on, With a true feminine
idea as to the flight of time, "I was
only a few minutes."
"And the rest," said Brian, quiz-
zically looking at her pretty thce, so
charmingly flashed under her great
white hat.

pare. I deft ,feeklike, !yob, and
papa eats so little in the middle of
the day, and you-----"
"Eat a great deal at sll times,"
.filtisl,Ied Brian, with a laugh. Madge
went on chattering in her usual
lively manner,and Brian listened to
her with delight. It was very
pleasant, he thought, lying hack
' among the soft cushions of the ear•
ridge, with a pretty girl talking so
gayly. He felt like Saul must
have done when he heard the harp
of David,and Madge,with her pleas -
1 ant tally, drove away the evil spirit
which had been with him for the
last t eree weeks. • Suddenly Madge
made an observation as they were
passing the Burke and Wills monu-
ment, which startled him.
"Isn't that the place where Mr
Whyte got into the cab?" she asked,
looking at the corner near the
Scotch church, where a vagrant of
musical tendencies. was playing,
"Just Before the Battle, Mother,"
on a battered old- concertina, in a
most dismal manner.
"So the papers say," answered
Brian, listlessly, without turning
bis head.
"I wonder who the gentleman in
the light coat could have been,"
said Madge, as sire settled herself
again.
"No one seems to know," he re-
plied, evasively.
"Ah, but they've got a clew," she
said. "Do you know, Brian," she
went on, "that he was dressed just
like you, in a light overcoat . and
soft hat?"
"How remarkable," said Fitz-
gerald, speaking in a slightly sar-
castic tone, and as calmly as he was
able. "He was dressed- in the same
manner as nine out of every ten
young fellows in Melbourne."
Madge looked at him in surprise
at the tone in which he spoke, so
different from his usual nonchalant
way of speaking, and was about to
answer, when the carriage stopped
at the door of' the Melbourne club.
Brian, anxious to escape any more
remarks about the murder, sprang
quickly out, and ran up the steps
into the building. Ile found Mr
Frettlby smoking complacently, and
reading The Age. As Fitzgerald
entered he looked up, and putting
down the paper Bela out his
which the other took.
"All!" Fitzgerald," he said, "have
you leftthe attractions of Collins
street for the still greater ones of
clubland?'
' "Not 1," answered Brian. "I've
come to carry you off to afternoon
tea with Madge and myself."
Madge Y
don't mind," answered 'Mr
Frettlby; "but isn't afternoon tea at
half -past 1 rather an anomaly?"
"What's in a name?" said Fitz-
gerald, absently, as they left . the"
room. "What have you been doing
all morning?"
"I've been in here for the last
half hour reading," answered the
other, carelessly.
"Wool markets, I suppose?"
"No the hansom cab murder."
, d---- that thing!" slid
Brian, hastily; then, seeing his com-
panion looking at .him in surprise,
be apologized. "But, indeed,' ho
went on, "I'm nearly worried to
death by people asking all about
Whyte, as if .1 knew all about him,
whereas I know nothing."
"Just as well you didn't," an-
swered Mr Frettlby, as they de-
scended the steps together; "he was
not a very desirable companion."
.Mrs Sampson was ,very much as-
tonished at the early arrival of her
lodger's guests, and expressed her
surprise in shrill tones.
"Bern' taken by surprise," she
said, with an apologetic crackle, "it
ain't to be supposed as miraculs can
be pereltned with regard to cookin',
the fire havin' gone out, not bein'
kept alight on account of the 'eat of
the day, which was that 'ot as never
was, tho', to bo sure, bein' a child in
the early days, I remember it were
that 'ot as my sister's aunt was in
the 'abit of roastin' her jints.in the
sun."
After telling this last romance,
and leaving her visitors in doubt
whether the joints referred to be-
longed to an animal or to her sister's
tunt or herself,Mrs Sampson crackl-
ed away down stairs to get things
ready.
hat a curious thing that Land-
lady of youra is,Brian," said Madge,
from the depths of a huge arm chair.
"I believe she's a grasshopper from
the Fitzroy gardens."
"Oh, no, she's a yeoman," sad Mr
Frettlby, cynically. "Yon can tell
that by the length of her tongue."
"A popular error, papa," retorted
Madge, sharply. "I knew plenty
of mon who talk far more than any
women."
"I hope I'll never meet them,
then," said Mr Frettlby, "for if I
did I would be inclined to agree
with I)o Quincy's essay on murder
as one of the fine arts." '
Brian shivered at this,and Tooke 1
apprehensively at Madge, and saw
with relief that she was not paying
attention to her father, but was
listening intently.
"There she is," as a faint rustle
at the door announced the arrival
of Mrs Sampson and the tea tray.
"I wonder, Brian, you don't think
the house is on fire with that queer

Mrs Sampson's shrill apologies
for the absence of cake having been
received, elle hopped out of the
room, and Madge made the tea.
The service was a quaint Chinese
one, which Brian bad picked up in
his wanderings, and used for gather-
ings like these. As be watched
her he could not help thinking how
pretty she looked, with her hands
moving.deftly among the cups and
saucers, so bizarre looking with
their sprawling dragons of yellow
and green. He half smiled to him-
self as ha thought, "If they knew
all, I wonder would they sit with
me as cool and unconcerned?" Mr
Frettlby, too, as he looked at his
daughter, thought of his dead wife,
and sighed.
They chatted for a considerable
time, till at last Madge arose and
said they moat go. Brian proposed
to dine with them At St. Kilda, and
then they would all go to the the-
atre. Madge consented to this, and
she was just pulling on her gloves
when suddenly they beard a ring at
the front door, and presently heard
Mrs Sampson talking in an excited
manner at the pitch of her voice.
"You shan't come in, I tell you,"
they heard her say, shrilly, "and
it's no good trying, which I've
allaya 'eard as an Englishman's
'ouse is 'is castle, an' your a-broakin'
the law, as well as a-spilin' the car-
pets,which 'as bin newly put down."
Some one made a reply; then the
door of Brian's rooin was thrown
open and Gorby walked in, followed
by another man. Fitzgerald turned
as whiteasa sheet, for be felt in-
stinctively that they bad comp for
him. However; pulling himself to
gather, he demanded, in a haughty
tone, the reason of the intrusion,
Mr Gorby walked straight over to
where Briar was standinp1 'anti
placed his hand on the }Dung mar's
shoulder.
"Brian Fitzgerald," be said in a
clear voice, "1 arrest you in Ilse
queen's name."
"For wbat?" asked Ibinn,steadily.
"Tho murder of Oliver Whyte."
Al this Madge gava a cry.
"It is not true!" site said, wildly.
"My God, it's not true."
Brian did not answer, but,ghastly
pale, held out •his hands. - Gorby
slipped the ba dcuffs 'en to- his
11
wrists with a feeling of compunction,
in spite of his joy at running his
man down. This done, Fitzgerald
turned round to where Madge was
standing pale and still, as if she had
turned into stone.
"Madge," he said, in a clear, low
voice, " I am going to prison—per-
haps to death; but I swear to you,
by all that I hold most sacred, that
I am innocent of this murder."
"My darling!" She made a step
forward, but her father stepped be-
fore hen
"Keep back," he said, in a hard
voice; "there is nothing between
you and that man now."
She turned around with an ashen
face, but with a proud look in her
clear eyes.
"You are wrong," she answered,
with a touch of scorn in her voice.
"I •love• ..hire more now. than I did
before." Tnen, before her father
could stop her, she placed Ler arms
around her lover's neck, and kissed
him wildly oh the cheek.
"My darling," she said, with the
tears streaming clown her white
cheeks, "whatever the world may..
say, you are always dearest of all to
me."
Brian kissed her . passionately,
and then moved away, while Madge
downrfathe•'s'
fell ow at h o t feetin a'
dead faint.
CHAPTER XI.
COUNSEL FOR THE PRISONER.
Brian Fitzgerald was arrested a
few minutes past 3 o'clock, and by
5 all Melbout•neewas ringing with
the news that the perpetrator of the
now famous hansom cab murder
had been caught. The evening
papers were full of the affair,' and
The Herald went through several
editions, the demand being far in
the excess of the supply, Sucli a
crime had not been committed in
Melbourne since the Greer shooting
ease in the opera house, and the
mystery which surrounded it made
it even more sensational. The
committal of the crime in such an
extraordinary place es a hansom cab
bad been startling enough, but the
discovery that the assassin was one
of the most fashionable young men
in Melbourne was still mere so.
Brian Fitzgerald being well known
in society as a wealthy squattor,and
the future husband of ono of' the
richest and prettiest girls in Vic-
toria, it was no wander that his ar-
rest caused quite a wonsation: The
Herald, which was fortunate enough
to obtain the earliest information
about the arrest, made the best use
of it, and published a flaming article
in most sensational type, somewhat
after this fashion:---
HANSO1I CAR TRAGEDY,
Ali REST OF THE SUPPOSED
LONGFb:LLOW'h MAIDS �,
who is—
"Standing, with reluctant feet,
Where the brook and river meet,
Womanhood and childhood fleet" !
is a type of thousands of young girls
who are emerging from the chrysalis of
their existence, as they enter upon their
"teens." Nervous, excitable, irritable,
stirred by strange, unknowable forces
within them, each a mystery unto her-
self, our girls need the tenderest care,
the most loving, patient oversight, and
thel aid of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription, to safely carry they the ough
this critical period, during which, in too
many lives, alas, are sown the seees of
distressing forms of diseases peouliar
to the female sex. But this boon to
womanhood will prevent all such dis-
eases, or cure them if they have already
seized a victim. Woman owes it to her-
self, to her family, and to her social
station, to be strong. Let her then not
neglect the sure means of cure. Fav-
orite Prescription is a legitimate med-
ecine, carefully compounded by an ex-
perienced and skillful physician, It is.
purely vegetable in its composition and
perfectly harmless in its effects in any
condition of the system.
