.... Not Obvious.
Black beetles (cockroaches) are
everywhere, multitudinous in all their
habits and trop cal in their obliquities.
No one likes them-except hedgehogs:
but it is difficult to establish intimate
relations between cockroaches and
hedgehogs. The latter can not creep
into the chinks in which the former
hide: besides. hedgehOgs are not suita-
BILE creatures for having loose in the
house at night. Various powders and
m Xtures have been connected with Ia
boriOus ingenuity on purpose to destroy
them. but the insects do not seem to
suffer very acutely from such prepara-
tons. There are traps also patented to
catch them. but it would seem that the
inventors have omitted to patent the
kind OF cockroaches which are to be
caught in them. In the kitchen. there
fore, they are serious enough. but on
board ship they are far worse. No

The creatures, too. can fly, the males

in the lamp-except where they
they should. Nor is the purpose
of their existence obvious. No
useful end appears to be served by the
nibbl nc of shoes, books, clothes and
property generally. There seems no
very wise provis on of nature in the ex-
istence of an insect that preys upon the
furniture of house and the contents

therefore. has grown to dislike them.

CHAPTER III.

CHAPTER Ill.
Never before or since have | seen such
excitement in town. 1t was useless
to deny that the note had been written
10y the curious scribe, but the old man
could not have entirely severed his own
head from his body. and. even could he
have done so, he could not have placed
it on the stone. Why any man should
have murdered him no one could con-
ceive. Expert detectives came and
spent days il looking for clue, but
went away puzzled. Squire Duval de-
clared that the old man had been aided
by bad spirits in the execution of the
bloody design, yet this, while it may
have found ready supporters among
people who believed in supernatural
agencies was rid!culed by the Coroner
and laughed at by tie jury.
Some time previous to the arrival of
the old man l had incurred the mortal
enmity of fellow named Givens. This
souiless wretch, biding his time, swore

me with the murder of the curious
scribe. OF course was indignant. but
