Mysterious Distcmper Among the
Animals in Kent County, Md.
Iorsemen in Kept county, Md are puz-
zlei over the app 'arance OF a fatal aud pecu-
liar disease among horses. The animals
while apparently well, droop. and in some
cases are dead almost instantly. a horse be-
longing to Josiah Massey, q farmer living
near Chestertown, while being bridled few
days ago for the purpose Of being used on the
farm fell dead, and so did another belonging
t. Mr. Henry Massey.
The latter horse was quietly grazing in the
pasture, whom Mr. Massey passed near him
and waved his hand to make him move. The
animal raised his bead and started to walk
OF, and fell deal in his tracks A third one,
belonging to Bradley Thompson. which had
h. en- put out to pasture, was found dead in
tho held lying near II stream OF water, A
fourth, belonging to L. II. Cooper, die sud
denly without n moments warning, never
having drooped or refused its food.
The appetite OF the animals is good up to
the last moment, and in some cases thcy have
died with food in their mouths. In the three
cases first mentioned the horses were appar-
emily we'll up to the moment Of death, eating
heartily and showing no signs OF sickness.
Whether or not the disease is contagious 1t is
impossible to say, as all Investigation has
failed to furnish any satisfactory knowledge
Of the nature of the trouble.

CHAPTER TX.

DEED OF DARKNESS.
Meanwhile, and in blissful ignorance
of tho passing espionage of Rupert Ar
MIN, Mr.. Max Boyden made his why
over to tho extreme east side of the city.
Having more than an hour to spare be-
fore his appointment with Nicholas
Garland, he proceeded to saunter leis-
urely down Second avenue, the gloom
of the sparsely settled thoroughfare in
that district according agreeably with
his present frame of mind and affording
him uninterrupted opportunity for
thought.
"All goes we'll" he said to himself,
with smile so complacent yet mirth-
less that the grimness of his yiciously
handsome face was increased hundred
fold; "in my widest. dreams never
thought to light upon the girl so sud-
denly. OF course she's q dcuced white
elephant on my hands, but still she
must be disposed of in some way, now
that have her. While she is at large
she is an obstacle in my pathway"
He paused beneath u lamppost, pro-
duced cigar, and struck light. Then,
leaving the odor of fragrant smoke in
his wake, he walked on.
"The very existence of tho girl is q
menace at my future welfare" he con-
tinued in thought; but how to be rid
of her-that's the question: J don't
want to soil my hands with her blood
she's a harmless brat enough, and I
care no moro for her death than do
for her life. Fool if she knew what
was good for herself, slo would marry
me and put herself out of danger. Lord
knows would never trouble her.
Well, she has either got to consent to
become Mrs. Max Boyden, or get out
of the way for good and all. I'll talk
the matter over with Garland and see
what no has to propose. He's sharp-
witted rascal"
Sunken in intent thought, he scarcely
needed distant bell that tolled tho
half-hour and ten. Indeed he was only
made mindful of his proximity to tho
place of rendezvous by being recalled
from his reverie by the grating of foot
steps upon the sidewalk of one of the
cross streets leading into the avenue.
Boyden glanced up casually and saw
the figure of man whom he did not
recognize; what he did not see, how.
ever, was that this same man paused
sharply at sight of him. and then
quickly slipped into the shadow of q
tree-trunk, to watch.
From that instant Boyden became o
marked man; though utterly uncon-
scious of the significant fact, he was
shadowed by the stranger, whose figure
fitted after him with the silent persist
ience of his own shade.
At the appointed corner, Boyden
deserted the ungainly figure Of Nicholas
Garland awaiting him. The man was
leaning against the wall Of the great
tenement that marks this corner OF the
avenue, with the most innocent air
imaginable, and pulling away at little
black stub Of pipe.
As Boyden approached, Garland
touched his slouched hat, more from
force OF habit than from any amount
of respect felt for his visitor, as he re-
marked:
You're ahead of time
II know it, replied Boyden, "but as
you are here, il makes no difference,

And starting or into the gloom OF an
adjoining STREET, the two contreres bent
their steps an the direction of the
river, the mysterious shadow fitting
after them, ever and anon pausing i'm
dark spots, and again following with q
pertinaciOus spirit.
Far down among the lonely lots,
moaned about by the wind that in un-
lmpcded course sweeps over from low
lying Long Island, stood an old brick
building.
How this sad remnant of an edifice
had escaped the march of improve
ment was a mystery; possibly Satan
himself had leased the property and
scared honest folk away, since the
house had bad name and was Stunned
by reputable people. Some averred

Oracle was first to break the oppres-

Well, she said, and her low tense
tone betrayed the desperate frame Of
her mind, II may as well give mp; it is

do you want of me?"
"Of yon2"

He led the way into the studio and
she followed him mechanically. He
