"Wait a monuit," said Mr, Merrick, as the boy turned to leave the room. "Can you tell how many, orwhatkind of looking men were with Brown un Wednesday evening?" "There was three of 'ens. One was a big feller with kinder squint eyes, the other two was orney lookin' fellers; one of 'eni was dark like a furriner, an' Pother one had sorter yeller half." "How long were they there?" "About halfn hour, 1 guess. They was all gone 'fore nine o'clock." "Did you hear anything that was said?" "I hearn 'em talkin' sonlethin' about the boss." "Mr. Mainwaring?" "Vas, He'd made a kick about some - thin' or 'nether that afternoon, an' Brown ke was cussin' mad, an' then rr hen they went away I hearn one of 'ern say smnethin' about 'tnakin' a good job of it.' " "How was this, Hardy?" inquired Mr. Whitney, "Had there been any words Wednesday between Mr. Main- waring and the coachman?" "Yes, sir; I had forgotten it; but now 1 remembeer that when he came back that afternoon, he found some fault with the coachman, and Brown was very insolent, and then Mr, Main- waring threatened to discharge hits." "Pon m Y soul 1 should say here something worth looking into," said Mr. Thorton, as the boy left the room accompanied Hardy by Aea gr t pity that we could not have histestimony t len 1 the inquest," v ,t h n nest" c q om- mented the attorney. ""We might then have cornered Brown; but I was not a- ware that there was such a person em- ployed on the place." Meanwhile, a carriage ordered by telephone frons the Arlington had' al ready arrived at Fair Oaks. "Well' said Ralph Mainwaring, "the carriage is waiting. We had better pro- ceed to the depot; we can talk of this latest development on our way." "You will excuse me, gentlemen," said Mr. Merrick, quietly, "1 have changed 'fay mind, and will postpone my, trip to the city," 'Struck a new trail, eh?" quieted Ralph Mainwaring, With a peculiar ex - pre' -'on, as he paused to light' a cigar, the contrary, sir, only following up ;,.,,014 one," and, with a somewhat ambiguous senile, the detective with- drew. The coachman's sudden disappear- ance, together with the facts learned from the stable -boy, formed the sub- ject of discussion for the next half- hour between Ralph Mainwaring and the attorney, Scott listening w ith a thoughtful face, although taking little part in the conversation.' Upon their, arrival at the offices of Mainwaring & 'Co, they were given a cordial greeting by Mr. Elliott and Mr, Chittenden, af- ter which they passed on to the elegant private offices ' of Hugh Mainwaring.

W ERA, entered the familiar rooms, and to each one was forcibly recalled the memory of their meeting a few days before. A brief silence followed, and then in sub- dued tones they began to discuss the business which had now brought them there. At about two o'clock that afternoon, Stott found himself entering an ;indent and dilapidated 'looking block in a ra- ther disreputable part of the city, He had fulfilled his appointment with Mr; Sutherland, and after an hour's con- versation both gentletnen appeared very sanguine regarding the g g case under con- sidearti on. A Scott As t was taking 1eav e ,ie produced Hobs 's card andrelated the particulars of their incidental meet. ing at Fair Oaks, and Fiobson's urgent invitation to call upon him at his office, letters that passed on both sides?" Mr. Sutherland laughed. "About what I expected," he said. "It was evident from his remarks at the inquest that some one—probably Mrs. La- Grange—had posted him concerning you, and lie is afraid you are onto his secre" I hat.d questioned if it were that, or whether possibly he might be onto urine." "Not at all probable," said the at- torney, after a moment's reflection, "If he really undestood your position, he would be far too cunning to allow you to get sight of him. You have the scoundrel completely in your power.' "Yes, as much as he in in anybody's power; but it is doubtful if any one can mold so slippery ,t rascal as he. I be- lieve I will give him a call, however," "ft would do no harm, taking care, of course, that you give hint no in- formation," "Oh, certainly," said Scott, with a smile, as he paused for an instant in the doorway; "sly object will be to bet, not give, information." "His object will probably be the same," was Mr. Sutherland's parting shot, as he turned with a laugh to his desk. Scott, having ascended a narrow, crooked stairway, found himself in a long, dark hall, poorly ventilated, and whose filthy condition was only too ap- parent even in the dim light. Far in the rear he saw, a door bearing the words, "R. llobson, Attorney." As he pushed open •the door, a boy of about seventeen, who. with a cigarette in his Mouth and his feet on a table, sat read - ug iat novel, instantly assumed t heP per- pendicular and, wheeling about, faced Scottwith lel h on e of the most villainous a s countenances the -latter had ever seen. Something in Scott's appearance seem- ed to surprise him, for he stared im- pudently without speaking. After sii- ently studying the face before him for an instant, Scott inquired for Mr. Hob- son. "He is in, sir, but he is engaged ak present with a client," said the boy, in tones which closely resembled Hob - son's. "1 will take in your card, sir." The boy disappeared with the card into an adjoining room, returning a moment later with the most opsequious manners and the announcement that Mr Hobson ti wool d be at liberty in a few moments, Scott rightly judged that this ceremony was merely enacted for effect, and contented himself with look- ing about the small, poorly furnished room, while the office boy opposite regarded Ibis with an undisguised cur- iosity, which betrayed that this client —if such he could be regarded—diff- ered greatly from the usually class. Young and untaught though he were, Ile had learned to read the faces about him and that ofi h 1 s employer was to him as an open. book, and the expres- sion which flashed into•Hobson's eyes as they fell upon Scott's card indicated plainly to the office boy that in this instance the usual conditions Were re- versed, and the attorney stood in fear of his visitor. A few moment's later tate door: of the next room opened noiselessly and Hobson, dressed in a red dressing -gown and wearing itis most ingratiating smile, silently beckoned Scott to enter With a quick glance the latter took in eyery detail of the second apartment. It was somewhat larger than the first, but the furnishing was meagre and shabby in tate extreme, and, with the exception of a small set of shelves containing a few dilapidated volmes, there were no visible signs of• an attorney's office, Hobson did not speak until` he liad carefully closed the door, then he said, in low tones,--- "As ones,—"As our conversation is likely to be• of a conffdental nature, yen pencil per- haps desire greater privacy .than can be secured here. Step this way." He opened the door into a room so dark and so thick with stale tobacco smoke that at first Scott could diadem nothing clearly. "My dell" said.

The imperial authorities act- ed with wisdom le accepting a'repre- septative •force of Maoris for •tctive service, For it only representative, tin consgeistints.ng, as it does, of but two eon - ,'A very much larger army than this, consisting exclusively of natives and ,led by white officers, could have been raked, and still can be raised in New ,Zealand. The Maoris have been greatly gratified by the call made on them to assist in defending the empire, In New Zealand the Maoris number something more than 50,000. Butthey have many near kinsmen in the Pac- ific islands, They are .peaceful and law-abiding, giving trouble neither to their white neighbors nor to the law- fully constituted authorities, Alread the Maoris are in the British navy New Zealand's unit=arid, excellen naval men though they be, it wil probably be found that the branch 0 arms they prefer is the infantry. This isnot the first aeoccasSion in divide 1 a Maorishave a n their lac p i the fighting n r•nk a s of the British . rrtash Most of the ten contingents that lef New Zeeland for the '.South African war included in their numbers not few full-blooded Maoris and many half- castes The Maori contingent consists entirely of natives, the majority of full Maori descent some of the .rank and 111e descendants of chiefs high and famous to days of old. 'rhe Maori, in spite of long years of tranquil peace under the British flag, has by no means lost the warrior in- stinct of his race, One has only to witness the zest with which Maori boys play at soldiers, or the extraor- dinary pitch of excitement their elders can reach while indulging in the` an- cient Hake or' war dance, to dscover how strong is the martial spirit in thls, at one time, war -loving people. When white men'' first arrived in New Zealand, the Maoris devoted much of their time to war. With them fight- ing was a life long passion. They were trained to do battle from their earliest days and until they became old and In- firm they. were seldom without a pre- text for shire, Vocations of a peaceful order were frequently interrupted. War was their business of life. Blood -feuds were com- mon, and were handed down from fath- er to son. One of their old proverbs is that "land and women are the roof of war." But many reasons other than these were always available when chiefs desired to make a sudden raid or me- ditated some hostile expedition. .As fighting men they possessed customs far ' from agreeable to contemplate. Before engaging in combat each side indulged ed in t the 'r ar g v dance With heribl grimaces rt mace g sand yells they work- ed themselves into a frenzy of passion, and rushed upon each other in mortal Conflict In thesavagery r Yeat cruel- ties b tie s were inflicted n cted o the vanquished. u the victors drank the blood of he slain while it was warns; they cooked the bodies of the slaughtered and ate them, they preserved the heads. of the fallen as trophies of the carnage, The great- est degradation which a Maori could in - New Zealand's M'i pris now, for the ;diet upon hie enemy was to eat him, A warrior, • after the battle, would back off a portion of arm or leg bone from a dead foeman ,end out of It fashion a kind of flat wherewith to beguile his hours of leisure,: The Maoris are not of the highly inusioai' section of humanity, and those early Strains of theirs must have been ex- tremely weird and wild.
