The jury brought in a verdict of murder
againtet some person or persons un-
known, and tri a atthat uas ailcotild be
done toward the elucidation of the
Amelia equare crime.
'There's only ono tiling that wasn't
spoken of," Enid Quex wben be saw ,
the boarders in the drawing room for
the last time; "It seems that 'Mrs. Jer-
sey always put out the light above
the door at 11, or when the guests de- I
parted. On this occnsion it burned all
night, and as it sbines behind crimson
glass such a red window might be a
guide to any one who did not know
the house, but who had been given that
sign whereby to distinguish it"
"I can explain that," said Granger,
who was present. "When madame was
bidding farewell to Ler guests she
thought that some of them might be
lost in the fog. Therefore she called
out after them tbat she would let 'the ,
light burn later, so that any might bo
able to retrace their steps;."
"In that case," sale Lines, rising to
take Ms leave, "there is nothing more
to be discussed. Who killed errs. Jer- ,
sey or why she was kilIe'd will probe- ,
bly never be known, Ladies and gen-
tlemen, good day," and the inspector
bowed himself stiffly out of the room '
with the air of a Tuan who washed
his hands of the wbole concern.
"When are you going back to Duke
street?" asked Breudon as be took his
leave of Train,
" This very day." replied the young
man gloomily, "I don't want to stop
a moment longer than I can help in
this awful house."
"I expect many of the others are of
your way of thinking, Train. But, so
far as I can see, there is no hope of
learning who killed the woman."
"If you had only allowed Ice to tell
Quex about the door being opened ho
might have traced the assassin."
"I don't think so." Brendon shook
his head. "It was a foggy alight, and
whosoever entered would be able to
slink away without being seen."
"All the same I wish I had told
Quex."
"Well. then, tell him if you Iike,"
lip—"I do not think it 'will bo wise for
you to tell the inspector tbis."
"Why not? You and I are innocent."
"That goes without the saying," an-
swe"ed George sharply. "But the less
we have to do with this unpleasant
matter the better, I suppose we, in
common with every one else here, will
be called to give evidence at the in-
quest. Once that is done and Mrs.
Jersey is safely buried 1 wash my
hands 0f the whole affair:"
Train shuddered. "So do I," said be.
"I• am the last pian in the world to
swish to pursue tbe subject But who
can be guilty? It must be some one
In the house!"
"I suppose so," replied Brendon, "un.
less Mrs. Jersey bed a visitor last
night"
"She might have had," said Leonard.
"When I locked the sitting room door,
wind that was about half past 11, I
think, I heard the closing of the front
door."
"The deuce you deli"
"Yes. I put my hedd out and listened
to see if all was quiet. I distinctly
heard the front door close."
"She must have had a visitor," saki
Brendon thoughtfully. "Yet as she
.alone could have let that visitor out,
and as she must have been alive to
do so, the visitor cannot be the as-
sassin."
'Tim visitor rnigbt have killed her
and then have closed the door himself,"
"Himself? How do you know the
visitor was a man? It might have
been a woman. Besides. Miss (lull turd
me that the door was locked as usual,
and that she took the key this morn-
ing to open it from Mrs. Jersey's pock-
et. No, Train, the person who kilieti
Mrs. Jersey is in the house. But were
I you I should say as tittle as possil,:e
to the inspector about this."
Leonard took this advice and when
questioned simply stated Oct lie had
retired to bed at 11 and bad beard
nothing. Brendan inade n similar
statement, and Quex saw no reason to
i]oubt their evidence.
He questioned all the boarders and
ail the servants, but could learn noth-
ing likely to throw any light on the
darkness which concealed the crime.
No one had heard a noise in the uight.
no one had heard a scream, and it was
conclusively proved that every one in
the house was in bed by 11 o'clock,
the majority, indeed, before that hour.
Margery, who saw madame at the
striking of that hour, was the hist per-
son to see her alive. Mrs. Jersey went
to her otvn sitting room and there bad
been struck down.
"It was about 12 o'clock that she
was stabbed," said the doctor after
be had made his examination, "but I
can go only by the condition of the
body. 1 should say a little before or
after 12. She was stabbed in the neck
with a sharp instrument"
"'With a knife?" said the inspector.
"No," rejoined the doctor decisive-
ly, "it was with a dagger—lly a kind
,,of stiletto. It was not by an ordinary
knife that the wound was inflicted."

son was dull and there was
nothing of interest in the newspapers,
therefore the mysterious crime was a
godsend to the reporters. From being
a peaceful neighborhood Amelia square
became quite Iively.
The boarders found all this most un-
pleasant. This rude awakening from
-their sleepy life was too much for them,
.and the majority made preparations to
leave as soon as the inquest was over.
lentil then they were under surveil-
Iance and could not leate the neighbor-

nacity. •
"But you nsked me not to."
"Only because I fear, with your weak
nature, that one question will lead to
another until the whole of ray private
atrairs will come to light. I don't want
those to be known at Scotland Yard,
let alone the cbance that I migbt be
accused of the crime,"
"08, that's ridiculous! You could
not bave left the sitting room unless
1 bad let you out, and there is no door
from your bedroom."
"That is true enough," answered
Brendon, with an ironical smile, the sig•
nifieanee of which was lost on Train,
"But if the whole of my story came to
light you might be accused of helping
me to get rid of tbe woman"
"I?" Leonard's hair almost rose on
end. "How could I be mixed up in it?"
"Well, sce here," argued Brendon,
who thought it just as well to make
Train's own safety depend upon the
discretion of too free a tongue• "I tell
you about this house, and on my rec-
ommendation you come here. I come
to stop with you and reveal my reasons
for coming. These have to do with
the possession of a secret by the mur-
dered waiter]. Alt that to a policeman
Would be suspicious. What would be
easier than for me to go down the
stairs and, when the woman refused
to confess as to my legitimacy, to stab
her? Then I could return to my bed,
and you could prove an alibi on my
behalf by your tale of having locked
the sitting roots door."
Train shuddered. "I see how easily
we can get into trouble. I shall say
nothing. I wish T had not come here.
I shall go abroad until all blows. over."
"I am going to see Dorothy," said
Brendon, "and tell her that there is no
chance of our marriage. Nor is there,
for I cannot -see my way to prove my
legitimacy: We must part, and 1 shall
probably go down the country for six
months or so to 1]nish my novel and
to get rid of my heartache."
Train remained silent, looking at the
ground. "Then he glanced at his friend
in a doubtful way. "What has become
of your yellow belly?'
Breeden produced It from his pocket.
"It withered, so I took it out of my
coat and put It into this envelope."
"Do you know if Miss Ward gave
tiny one else a piece of yellow holly?"
Brendon stared at this strange quer•
tion. "Not to my knowledge. Wbq do
yeti ask?"
'Frain shuffled his feet and looked
down again. "It its an a ceeptionally
rare sort of thing," lie told uneasily,
"and its effect on Mrs. Jersey Was so
Strange that 1 Wondered it she eon-
neeted It with any trouble or disaster."
"Yon made the same remark before;"
(said Brendon dryly, "and we could ar-
rive at no conclusion. But, in ally case,
1 don't see that Miss Ward giving mo
the holly has anything to do With ails

"In a word, Train, you fancy that au

' "I don't go so far as that. But I
' should not be surprised if something of
that sort did eventuate."
"Then you do go so far as that," said
Brendon, with a shrug. "However,
there is nothing more to be said. My
advice to you is to hold your tongue
lest we should both get into trouble."
The two parted, Leonard to pack up
and Brendon to journey with his bag
for Kensington. Both men were con-
scious of a relief when they took leave
of each other.
Of course the economy of the man-
sion was disordered when the crime
was committed. But, thanks to the flrrt
bendling of ?viiia Bull, who now took

suffer from backache, 'sleeplessuess,
taervaustiess, irritabili'v, and a dragging -

the rents which had fallen from tele
hands of Madame, a few days put a
different complexion on Affairs. Mar-
gery knew where her aunt kept the
money, and Miss Bull made several of
the Weeders beltiedband pay up. Thus
there was enough money to go on with,
and Miss Bull decided to wait until
after the funeral before deciding what
she Intended to do herself. When Mrs.
Jersey was buried her lawyer spade his
appearance with the will. It was read
to Margery, end Miss Bull stopped be-
side the poor girl as the only friend she
had in the world. The will was short
anal concise, as it seemed that there
Was very little to leave. The lawyer
read it and then looked at Margery to
hear what she lead to say.
"Voll do exltley what you like, dear
Miss Bull." said Margery, rising, and
then tunnel to the lawyer, "Let Miss
Bull do exactly as she likes. I leave
all in her bands."
"The most sensible tbiug you can '
do," stud the legal adviser under his
breath, ; oil when :Margery had left
the room he turned to the old maid.
'•Is she au Idiot?"
"13y no cleans, But she is not very
clever. I have taken a great interest
in her, as, to tell you the truth, Mr.
James, she was badly treated by leer
aunt."
"It is Micky she has such a friend."
said :\Ir. James.
"About this will," said Miss Bull, lay-
ing one thin finger on the document.
"Madame leaves to Margery Watson,
her niece, the money in the green box
in her sitting room and also her jew-
els."
"Yes. Also, if you will recollect, the
clothes of the deceased lady."
"Is there nothing else?" asked Miss
Bull, raising her black eyes inquiring-
ly. "What of the lease of this Louse?"
t "That is the property of Lord Der-
rington, and he only let the house to
Mrs, Jersey by the year."
1
"Is not that rather strange?"
"Very strange. But the whole con-
nection of Lord Derrington with my
late client Is strange. I know that she
received from him an annuity of £5500
. a year and the lease of this house—by
the year, remember—frown December to
December. Now she is dead the an-
nuity lapses. The lease ends on the
31st of December and it will not be
' renewed. Lord Derrington, so far as
I know, has no interest in bliss Mar-
gery Wateon."
, "What interest had he in eIrs. Jer-
sey?" asked Miss Bull, scenting a scan-
dal, and her eyes brightening.
"1 cruet tell you that, and if I could
' I would not."
"Quite right. I beg your pardon for
asking, but you see, in the interest of
that poor girl, I wish to know exactly
how matters stand."
"They staud ns I tell you," said
James, and he rose to go. "I have notb-
ing more to do in the matter, and my
connection with the late Mrs. Jersey
ceases here."
"One moment," said Miss Bull quiet-
ly. "What of the furniture?"
"That is also the property of Lord
Derrington. He bought the house as it
stood from the executor of the last
owner, Mr. Anthony Lockwood, fifteen
years ago. Mrs. Jersey wished to set
up a boarding house, so Lord Derring-
ton placed her in here. Every stick in
the place belongs to him. Should Miss
Watson leave, she goes with the jew-
els, the money in the green box and
with her deceased aunt's clothes."
"A very poor outfit to start life on
at her age," said Miss Bun, rising in
her prim manner. "By the way, Mr.
,James, what is the name of the late
Mr. Lockwood's executor?"
"Roger Ireland," replied the lawyer,
looking rather surprised. "Wby do you
ask?"
"For my own satisfaction, Mr. fames.
If no one else will assist tbis poor girl
I shall do so. Good day."
So far as James was personally con.
caned, he heard no more of the Iittle
woman. Miss Bull collected the board-
ers in the drawing room after dinner
and made a speech. She said that it
was Margery Watson's intention to
keep on the house and that the terms
would be as before. If any chose to
stop they would be Welcome, but those
who decided to go could have their bills
Made out at once. Having thus acted
as the mouthpiece of Margery, Miss
13ui1 took the girl away to the sitting
room of the late efts. Jersey, the very
one in which the tragedy had taken
place.
"Good child," said Miss Dull, "Lord
Derrington is the owner of this house,
and be leased it to your aunt by the
year --a very strange arrangement, for
which there ought to 80 some explana-
tion. I tet going 16 seek it from Lord

"You are my friend," said Miss Bull,
ber thin lips relaxing. "I am a lonely
woman, Margery, though I still have a
surviving sister"—her lips tightened
again as she said this—"and I love
you, per dear, for your goodness. Well,
we shall keep on the boarding house."
From that moment Miss I3u11 was in
charge of the Amelia square estab-
lishment. Whatever means she used
to induce Lord Derrington to consent,
she Certainly managed to get the lease

CHAPTER V. .
VERY one who was any one

Ward. She -was a fluffy hair-
ed kitten of a woman, more
like a Dresden china shepherdess than
a mere human being. Nothing could
be prettier than Ler face and figure
and nothing more engaging than her
Inaliners, With her yellow hair, her
ebarming face and her melting blue
eyes site managed to hold her own
against younger women. The late Mr.
Ward, Lord Ransom's son, had been
a fast young man, devoted to the turf
and to his pretty wife. But lie was
killed when riding in a steeplechase
two years after his marriage and left
his widow alone in the world with one
daughter for consolation in her aC-
fiictton. Mrs. Ward, being in want of
looney—for her deceased father bad
been a general with nothing but his
pay—played her cards so well with re-
gard to her father-in-law that he al-
, lowed her a good income and thought
she was the most perfect of women.
But Lord Ransome was the only one
of the family who thought so, for the
other relatives fought rather sby of
the pretty, pleading widow.
Not that Mrs. Ward. minded. She
characterized the women as frumps
and the men as fools, and, having
enough to live on comfortably, set up a
house in eurzon street. It was thought
that she would marry again, and probe
ably she would have done so had a suf-
fieieiitly deb husband with a title been
forthcoming. But somehow no one
, worth capturing ever came airs.
Ward's way, and as time went on she
chose to assume the role of a devoted
mother and, as she pbrased it, to live
again in her daughter. This was quite
iwrong, as Dorothy Ward was a scum,
serious minded girl of nineteen, not
given to gayety, and was one who was
anxious to marry a husband with mind
rather than with money. How friv-
olous little Mrs. Ward came
to have
such a Puritan daughter no ono ever
could make out. She resembled her
• mother neither in face nor in manner
nor in tastes. Mrs, Ward openly lit•
mented that Dorothy was such a dial -
cult girl to manage, wbich meant that
Dorothy had refused several good
matches and had declined to be guided
entirely by her mother's opinion. Were
the Earl of Summerslea proposed and
was not accepted Mrs. Ward was fu-
rious, but Dorothy said steadily that
she would never marry a brute with
a title.
"You'd marry any one I choose,"
said Mrs. Ward when the two were
discussing the matter.
"Certainly not Lord Summerslea," re-
joined Dorothy steadily. •
"And certainly not that penniless
George Brendon." retorted her mother.
"You shall not throw yourself away on
him."
"He is a good man Anda clever man,
and a man whom any woman might be
proud of twinning, mother."
"And a man with no money and no
position. \F fro Is he? What is Itis
family? No one ever heard of him."

APPLES FOR Ml1,01 COWS.iABs
Mr. J. II. riedate, agriculturist, to
the Farmers' .Advocate, gives details of
of a series of experiareuts in the feeding
of witch cows, the purpose being to
show that refuse apples are valuable as
teed. He shows that cows fed on a
combination of apples 2.; lbs., ensilage
uud'roots 20 lbs., hay 4 lbs., and meal _
7 I.2 lbs. each per day, gaiued 23 lbs.
in weight in two weeks. The cows ate
the apples with a relish, and thrived ou
them. For the following two weeks the
cows were deprived of the apples and
fed on ensilage and roots 50 lbs., bay 4
lbs., and meal 7 1.2 lbs, each animal.
00 this feeding they lost 16 lbs. per cow
iu 14 days. Calves were also found to
da well on apples. On the apple diet the
tour cows iu the group yielded 1,353 lbs.
on the other diet 1,353 lbs..
The figures speak for themselves.
The experiments were made at the
Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa,
and the results reported are authentic.
There is something iu this natter for

What Bad Roads Mean.
Beyond the question of a doubt the
people of our country are beginning to
fully realize and appreciate the fact that
bad roads mean empty benches in the'
schoolhouse, a light attendance at
ehuroi, assists in keeping friends apart,
robs the social hour of many a pleasant
evening, depletes the town treasury and
the individual purse, and always raises
taxes, while good roads mean a full and
punctual attendance at school and a
happy and prosperous church. with
pastor and people in close relationship in
the ahucclr and in the home; and in.
spiration to neatness, with more lawn
and less moving band near .the house,
and the farmer's tools removed from the
cowshed to a proper covering; the brush
hook is made to sing a merry lay on the
margins of the road, the well aro made

all nature presents a new face. With
good roads the artisan in every line of
home buildings finds employment; every
town's grand list will be appreciated
when the state has established its MI-
' proved highways, and the tex bill will
1c thereby lessened. Thus the individual
is benefitted and with the benefit that
comes to the individual will comp the
prosperity of the town, the county, the
State and the Nation.
Reflections of a Bachelor.
(rout the New York Press.
Either people are thinking about get-
tiug married or wondering why they did.
Anyway, a farmer doesn't have to sub-,
scribes to leagues to reform anything,
A bachelor Wray not save any money,
but he has a thundering lot more to
spend.

her friends would peek frotu behind the
curtains at her its her Carriage to see if
she was coming 10 call When site Wasn't.
It's very clever the way a girl bas of
kissing every roan With a different way
for each.
A man can get every accurate estitua-
tlon of lits own iwportauca by having
three children in his family.
It makes a woman feel very prond to
have you find fault with the cook's bread
When it came from the baker's.
A woman has an idea she could be an
,even better mother than she is if it
Weren't for the fact that it would appear
ainglorious.

CURE SICK HEADACHE.
The Blues,
S, E. Kiser J
I do not fret bemuse it's wet,
I do not sigh hecnuse
Through foolish waste or reckless haste
I'tn poorer than I was;
Bat oil, I'm very, very blue;
I can't tell why—I wish I knew.
Life seems a hollow mockery,
A useless thiug, tat best;
There does not chance, just now to be
A knife•thrtist its my breast;
I've lost no friend nor made a foe.
And why I'm sed 1 do not know.
I do not tnourn becanse l've worn
My clothes to shabbiness;
I'm big and strong, and nothing's wrong,
4'11 eaudidly confess—
But I am weary in my soul,
Tho world is such a dismal hole.
The sun is shining in the sky.
The robin's on the wing
But oh, to just lie down and die,
Aud not know auvthing;
My heart is heavy, I ani sad -
4t seems se foolish to be glad.
The sonth wind blows through scented
rows
Of apple tree in bloom,
But every man I turn to scan
Is ?oiuit to Itis tomb;
I whistled yesterday—aleck !
i3 air yesterday will neer conte back
The thtnga that charmed me once appear
Unworthy, or are gone:
My goal has fallen. and I hear
No voice cry, "l p and nu"
You Dail pre foolish—so are you.
Confoundit, when you're feeling bine!
