It is more wise to be prepared. If you will pardon me for a short time I will return flirectly, and in the mean- time I dare say you can amuse your- self with one of those venerable books," concluding with a glance to- ward the shelves which occupied the alcoves of the dining room. When ho had gone I obeyed him me- chanically, taking down several of the musty volumes, though my mind at that moment was very far from their contents. Indeed, I could make no long pretense of interest in them and shortly afterward pushed open the casement and looked out on the park The dusk had settled on the forest at last. All lay very still. Suddenly a sound rose on the si- lence, indefinite, but perturbing. For a second I kept my post, with my head hanging from the window, uncer- tain as to the direction of the cry. Thea I grew aware that it came from within the house, and, hurriedly withdrawing myseif, I stood up still within the room and Iistened. Again it rose, Some. %vnat shrill and ghastly, echoing from the floor above. Now, the dini]tg room, as I have explained, was upon the ground floor, and afr. Kesteven's room, as well as my roots and most of the living chambers, was above it on the northern wing of the castle. I rau quickly therefore through the doorway and bounded up the stone staircase three steps at a time., When I reached the corridor I made straight for my host's room without any reason, but under the guidance of mere impulse. The door stood ajar, and I flung it open. A single lamp streamed faintly upon the room and its contents, illumining with a silver radiance the old man's body where it lay stretched upon the carpet. I knelt swiftly and raised his head, 1 loosening his coat and waistcoat. But as I did so the movement brought the tion affil breeding and birth, these you may buy or feign, but observation is the measure of a man's character." ;With that he sank into silence once :more, nor, No far as I con recall, did we exchange one sentence till we ar- rived in Ilaymond, We drew up in the main street, off a large and formless building, upon the door of which was emblazoner the name of a solicitor and public notary, .And here, begging me to await him, -the old gentleman alighted and entered Atte house. It was not very long after - •ward that he reappeared with a pleas - ;ant little lawyer behind him, and I no - teed that he himself seemed very well pleased. IIe talked as if a load was •off iris mind; but, to tell the truth, I felt that it was time I had some ex - .planation. It was not that I grudged the pld gentleman my fellowship, such as it was, and it certainly was not that .I was tired of the experience. Quite the contrary. •I was tantalized by these strange tastes of adventure. My nose took up the scent of mystery as a Lound sniffs the air, and when I spoke :so abruptly it was only in the wish to let him understand that I thought my ;fidelity had earned its wages. "It is well to be armed at all points, :my friend," he had remarked compla- cently. "I find a complete equipment is a solace against possible evils." "That's very true," I said, "and I .am delighted if my small services this :afternoon have, as it would seem, been the happy occasion of suggesting to jou this comfortable reflection. But .now, If you will excuse me, Mr. Kes- •teven, I will put my thanks in your ;hands for a very agreeable hospitality —and"— He was visibly disconcerted, as I had :hoped he would be. "You are not thinking of your inn?" .he demanded after a pause in which be recovered. "My dear sir," I replied, "I have been ;thrust upon you, a complete stranger, for a day and a night" • His face suffused with amusement. "I don't think we are strangers to each other, Mr. Greatorex," he observed quietly. "I dare say we understand one another better than appears. If, :however, it be any relief to your con- -science, I assure you that I am much better for your company. But," he added dryly, "I should be the last to hold you If your duty claims you else- where." We looked at each other for a mo- ment, in which time I noted a twinkle gleaming in his eyes, and then simul- taneously, I think, we burst forth into :laughter. "Come, come, I think I understand, Mr. Greatorex," said he, "and the un- derstanding notches another score to you in my stick. I admit that you have a right to something further. I freely .confess it, only I am an old man and must take my time. Are we agreed?" "My dear sir," said I )Mistily, "I would not press you for the world, and I am no more inquisitive than any hon- - -est man who hopes that he might be of some service to a friend In trouble." "You are very, good," he returned gently. "You can be silent, and you •can proffer a question at the right tune. I think all the better of you. And for what you say of friendship, why, I am sincerely obliged to you, and I think ,you can render me an invaluable aid." "I have no warmer wish," I answer- ed, and I turned the horse's head forth- with upon the road to the Gwent. We reached the castle In the twilight, but it Was not until after dinner that Mr, Kesteven reverted to the subject •of our conversation. He was very bright during tate 'nal and talked with more wit and philosophy than I had yet seen in him. But when he had finished .he drew away from the table and said .more soberly: "I have had important news today, Mr. Greatorex, or, rather, I have gath• ,rred from several signs that there is important news for myself.

The old man's body lay stretched upon the carpet. face auto the glow of the lamp, and I saw' it was struck with a deadly pal- lor. I lifted -him upon the bed and rang a peal of bells for the housekeep- er. While she was coming, which was not a matter of more than a minute, my glance ran around the bedroom. Could it be possible that there was foul play? I could see no signs of vio- lence upon the body—for that it was but a poor corpse I had uo doubt, since the horrible color of the face lad been, revealed to me. The window stood open, but there was nothing significant in that. I glanced out, but if any one had escaped that may the falling night had long since swallowed hint up. When I turned again to the 'body I no- r iced that one of the hands was clutch- ing a paper. This I gently withdrew, and as I did so the housekeeper knock- ed at the door and called upon her mas- ter in an agitated voice. "Come in," I said in low toues. "Your master is very i11. Where is the near- est doctor?" "At Llanellau, sir," said she tremu- lously. "Send the man posthaste," I ordered. "Let him gallop all the way," "Is he"— she asked, and stared at me fearfully. "Yes, I fear so," I answered. CHAPTER IV. THE events of that day, together with the two surprisink se- quels, to which I shall come presently, set me for the whole of a week upon the horns of doubt and perplexity. I was embarrassed by so strange a sequence of accidents. Sonto- where behind and still aloof, but self confessed, as It were, by the condUct and deportment of my unfortunate host, hung the shadows of a mystery to which I had no clew, It was plain that he had a secret which he kept very' private and to whlch I tshottld have been admitted on the very eve of his unhappy death. Tinct death, so to say, had robbed me of my opportunity, and I could see no means to regain it. My dim lusplelen that ho had come by his end through violence was dissipat- ed soon enough, The doctor certified to heart disease, from whirrs he told rt WtNGILAM TIMES, NAIUJII ?2. me that Mr, Kesteven had long out, feted, "Ifo 'light have gone off any mo- ment, air. Greatorex," he explained, "A shock, a violent exertion, even a ' Strong emotion—this 'would suffice to determine the climax of the disease," A shock! The word lingered some- how in my thoughts without particular reason. The cries I had heard might 1 well enough have been drawn from the old man in his last pains, and yet I had the impression that such deaths were usually instant, if not painless. Those shrieks had been prolonged and reiterated. And here it was that I. had my first surprise. Under the stress of the pain- ful emotions of that time I had for- gotten the leaf of paper 'which I had taken from the dead fingers. But while I was revolving the circum- stances of the mystery the recollection of it flashed suddenly upon tile, and feeling in my pockets I discovered it where It had remained since the en- trance of the housekeeper. It was broad daylight, and the doctbi from Llanellan bad just gone • from the house. I laid the paper upon my bed- room table and studied it carefully. It was of stiff parchment and stained yellow with the dust and dirt of years, much worn in parts and its margin t gnawed as if by mice or rats. The characters were faded and well nigh illegible, but I made out, with some difficulty, the faint and ancient letters, 1 This was how the document ran: "Turning ibis corner, it is necessary to proceed upon the passage for the space of some thirty footsteps and at the close thereof to pause and survey the walls. If ye will then duly deter- mine a height of five feet from the footway thereupon will be disclosed a small knobbe, the which revolving will give access to a large cupboard within ye wall. Observe carefully upon the back of the cupboard and where the o kou panuells adjoin the stone. dere }•e will perceive a spring, the which hushing a doorway shall open behind, giving entry to an interior chamber. A flight of stairway teacloth thence"— Ilere the parchment had suffered so grosiy at the hands of tine or from the assaults of its natural enemies that the characters became unreadabltand finally ceased. It was plain that this sheet had some connection with the disclosure Mr. Kes- teven had intended to 'take to me, but beyond this conclusion I could not go. And so after a desultory study of the ancient characters I put it aside, Lock- ing it more by habit than of intentional prudence In my private letter case. I now stood honorably charged with the last offices to my dead friend. An inquest •was inevitable in the circum- stances, but It was no more than a for- mality, andm evidence with that of my „evidence, housekeeper, , , Mrs. Main, and the doctor from Llanellan, was sufficient to close the investigation. It. was not un- til these ceremonies were over that I' experienced my second surprise, a sur- prise which, although I had become somewhat acquaiuted with the eccen- tricities of the man, fell upon me like a thunderbolt. "Upon the morning after the funeral I rode into Raymund to pay a visit to the lawyer, Greenstreet by name, who, I understood, acted on Mr. Kesteven's behalf.. I regarded this Rs the last of my melaneholy duties, which discharged, I was free once more to re- sume the tour which had been so strangely interrupted.' Mr. Greenstreet, the little fat, bowing solicitor whom I had already seen, received me with po- lite ceremony. His face wore a min- gled expression of solicitude and satis- faction as he fussed in a nervous man- ner with his papers. "A most melancholy end. 31r. Greato- rex," said he, shaking his head; "so sudden, and a sterling, honorable Iran, sir. Well, we lutist all go some day." I put the question for which I had conte and in response was saluted with • a stare of astonishment. "Any assistance. Mr. Great'irex?" he echoed, surveying rte, with his mouth open. "Any assistance? Well, I sup- pose you can be of sone assistance." And he chuckled heartily, as if invit- ing nue to join in'his joke. 1 told him that I was leaving the dis- trict that same day and would like to know iu what way I might aid ithn, i:eeiag that it was improbable that 1 -•ito;rld revisit the neighborhood. • WELL KNOWN IN JARVlS, ONT.

"Why in the name of fortune 811eu111 I? sly only urea was, for Mr. Kesteven's sake, to smooth ills allairs for his sucee's- • ors," The little man started to his feet, and his mouth widened in a broader smile than ever. "Then is it possible that you are ignorant, air. Greatorex?" said he. And looking at my interrogating face he positively beamed. "Why, yes, it must be so," be said excitedly. ' "Mr. Kesteven, sir, by a will under date of Aug. 16, has made you his sole heir." It was now my turn for amazement. The unexpectedness of the news left me agape, and then, after the first moment of silence, I felt my ears slow- ly growing warm, and I knew that I was blushing red as a peony in my confusion and astonishment. The greedy little .lawyer enjoyed the effects of his surprise. "But the natural iloirs"— • I began, stammering. "There are none," mid he promptly. "The late Mr. Kesteven had no near relatives." "The will"— I protested feebly. • "Was made three days ago. I, of course, assumed that. •you were well acquainted with its contents—a few legacies to his housekeeper and the servants, and yourself the residuary legatee. In order, however, not to raise your expectations too high, Mr. Greatorex," be proceeded, now more coolly and quite officially, "I may say that there is little beyond the castle itself—a bare competence and no more." I waved my hand, "Good heavens!" said I. "But what right have I"— "It is scarcely a question that re- quires an answer," he replied dryly, "so lohg as Mr. Kesteven had the right.

That hurried drive which Mr. Iie'ten en and I had undertaken, three days previously had obviously been for the purpose of exeruting the will. I now asked myself the motive which lad iuduced hhn so to favor it casual acquaintance, but I could find no,an- swer save in the general` eecentrieity of his conduct. IIe had died without a relative, even without a friend, as it appeared, and to that fact the there ad- dition of a passing whim; generated possibly under a stress of unknown emotion, 'rust suffice to explain.his_ be- havior. At that phrase of my own, unknown emotion,"I I wi is pu led up sharply once mere. What was there at the back of all these Incongruous and , Incomprehensible incidents? In the i current of these reflections I almost rode over the innkeeper Hood by the entrance of the park. He saluted me deferentially, stepping aside to let me pass and gliding noiselessly to open the iron gates. At the sight of hint the lawyer's statement as to the contents of the will recurred to me, and I reined in, giving hint good day. "This has been a sad business, sir," ho ventured in his even tones. I nodded, replying with some com- monplace. "Especially, sir, for poor Mr. Kes- 1 teven, who was, in a manner of speak- ' Ing, quite alone in the world." "Yes," said I, though the remark was , perhaps irrelevant. ''So Mr. Green- street, his lawyer, tells me." I Hood's glance met mine, as though ' he would inquire of me; but feeling, no doubt, that this would be too great a liberty, his eyes reverted to the gate, ' which he still held open respectfully. i "Mr. Greenstreet tells me," I went on, "and I suppose I am free to repeat it, that your old master has left you a small legacy." . I The man started visibly, and for a second his dark eyes shone on mine. He seemed almost as surprised as I had been, but he recovered his aston- ishment next minute and dropped his gaze. .''Thank you, sir. It is very Lind of him—Mr._ Kesteven, T mean. I served him three years, and a better master I no man need want." "He paid you a similar compliment," said I, sniffling. "He was always very good to me, sir." He stood silent, as though for me to enter, but as I did o be said respect- fully: "I suppose we shall be losing you, sir? ' It's a great thing for Mr. Kes- teven to have had you with him in his trouble." "Well," said I, with a little laugh, which I really could not restrain its my excited condition, "not just yet, Rood, I think.. I'm afraid you'll have to put up with my company for a little longer. You see, Mr. Greenstreet informs me that I-,ntn, quite unexpectedly, left heir to the castle." If Hood were as much astonished at l this statement as at his own good for- tune, he certainly did not show it. I caught one glance of his extraordinary eyes, and then be had turned and was 1 closing the gate.„ • "I'm sure I congratulate you, sir, if you'll pardon the liberty. The castle wants an owner, and I hope you'll be living here, sir." I told him I did not yet know and rode up the park, leaving him to fix the Iocks. I had said no less than the truth when I had answered Hood's ques- tions, but circumstances soon made my resolution for me. The rumor of my inheritance was spread about the coun- try, and I found myself suddenly ele- vated to new dignity' in the eyes of the neighborhood And the first fruits of this celebrity appeared in au unexpect- ed visit from my young acquaintance, 'Montgomery. Itis farm, it seemed, was a mile or two from the castle, lying in :he next valley, and he rode over to offer me his congratulations.

Ah, here it isi" He handed me the letter, which was directed from the offices of a firm in Pardo street, Lincoln's Inn fields. "Quick work," I commented. The little solicitor assented. "It is a beautiful neighborhood," he replied, rather proudly, "and the castle is n fine building.

And when there's liquor about— Well, you know what it is." I didn't quite follow out his mean- ing, but, on the whole, he struck me as s. very amiable fellow, honest accord- ing to his lights, and bearing a certain distinction of person which, derived from a long and gentle race, could not wholly be concealed in the dull and uneducated individuality of its last representative. He certainly knew a great deal about horses, and as a re- sult we grew very friendly ere he left. When he slid so, it was with a frank hope, boyishly expressed, that I intend- ed to live at the castle. But it was not due to the arguments of Montgomery that I finally decided to stay at the castle, but to an incident very different, which fell out in the following way on the next evening: I had dined early, and as the light was still very full across the valley I saun- tered out through the park and wan- dered clown the road toward the Woodman. When I reached the inn I noticed in the twilight the figure of a stranger leaning against the stone coping before the doorway smoking a cigar. At this moment Hood emerged from the taproom, and I nodded to him, asking if he had heard yet from tate solicitor. "Yes, sir; thank you, sir," he replied. (To be continued,) Ventilation of House Drains Bouse drainage is a most important and imperfectly understood subject. So long as the water runs away. that seems to be about the only matter with which the householder is concerned. Old drains should, as far as possible, be sluiced with disinfecting solutions at least once a week in cold weather, and every day in hot weather, or any season of the year if there is any epidemic disease in the vicinity. The importance of proper attention to drains has rarely been more aptly illu- strated than by an accident which oc- curred within the past few weeks. About a year ago a child died of malignant diphtheria. No other cases developed, and it was supposed that the disease was stamped out. A few weeks ago the drain in a neighboring house became clogged, and it was necessary to search for place of stoppage. As several drains ran into a oommou outlet, it so happened that in digging the drain from the infected house was opened. A boy wno was standing by, looking with boyish curiosity at the digging, re- marked to his mother that night that when they struck that drain the most awful smell came from it that he had :ver experienced, mad mid that his month was full of it, and he could not get it out of his throat. Forty-eiglit honrs later a clearly defined case of diphtheria developed itself, and it took a week of the moat unremitting struggle to bring the boy through safely. If that drain had been thoroughly disinfected, it 15 scarcely likely that the disease would have broken out again in the tame locality. Certainly the boy, by inhaling the poisonous odor from the drain, eeneed the presence o$; something unusually disagreeable, as he never ceased to complain of the -ill taide in his igeotath end throat.
