CHAPTER VI.

Hendricks went hack to his chair be-
side Mr.. Meynell. WI see--~L to be
waiting for him.
The coroner glanced at sheet of pa
per on which he had w..tten tie names
of the witnesses.
Il think have called them all ex-
cept the son of the old man," said he.
Just then they heard groan from
Ralph Benton and saw him clutching
at the mantelpiece. A china cup and
saucer fell to the hearth with crash.
and the young man sank L.owly to the
floor, face downward.
"Oh, he has faintedi'' cried his sis
ter, and she ran to him and tried in
vain to raise him up. Montcastle Sc
cured pillow from the sofa and put it
under the young mans head. Hendricks
sprang up to get some water, and find
ing the jug on the table empty he ran
into the next room. There he filled a
glass from a water cooler and brought
it back. AS he entered Ralph was re-
viving. The young man opened his
eyes, smiled family. drank little of
the water held to his lips by his excited
sister and then drowsily closed his eyes.
''Is he subject to fainting attacks?"
asked Hendricks. ..'t. :....
"He used to have them when he was
a child" answered Miss Benton. "Oh,
don't know what to do! 1t is all so
awful! My poor father is dead. and if
brother were to die don't know what
/ should do. Call Wilson and Jarnagin. +"
She looked up at Montcastle. ''He
must be removed to his room. It has
all hee-c, too much for him: / hope it
will SCH be over" She was looking at
Hendricks. "Surely you won't keep US
here much longer?'
"Will his testimony be necessary"
asked the coroner, touching the detect
i've on the arm.
why, not at ALL" said Hendricks.
"You won't find out anything else
from the family and household. We
must look outside, my friend. outside "
"Thank you." said Miss Benton,

brothers. nostrils and rubbing his fore.

approached. They raised the young
man between them and bore him from
the room. They were followed by the
other witnesses, and Hendricks, the
coroner and the jury were left alone in
the library. A verdict was soon rem
dered It read as follows:
Eve find that Jacob Benton met his
death from shot fred by an unknown
person. =

disown somebody the next day."
Can you recall the exact words?"
asked Hendricks, his eyes twinkling.
II think he said: 'You are no child
of mine. l shall disown you tomor-
row."
Ralph Benton was idly examining a
pipe which he had taken from the
mantelpiece. He did not seem to be
listening to what the witness was say
ing
You say the door was opened" said
Hendricks. did any one pass out?"
II think so, sir, " replied Miss Has
tings Il heard some one descending the
front stairs near my door,
And after that?" went ON Hen
bricks After that
Il heard Mr. Jacob Benton walking
about in his room for perhaps 25 min
utes Then he went into his laboratory
and then descended the rear steps,
which lead to the garden"
How long was it after he descended
the stairs before you heard the report?'
asked Hendricks.
"Only two or three minutes" was
the reply
II believe that is all l wish to ask
the Witness" said Hendricks to the
coroner.
Mr. Meynell told Miss Hastings that
she might sit down, and then he asked
Mary and Jane, the two housemaids,
some questions. Neither of them had
been walked by the report of the re-
volver, nor had either heard the bell
when Miss Hastings rang They did
not know she had wanted them till
after the police had been called in.
Early in the evening they had been
told by Miss Benton that they need not
stay up; that she and Mr. Montcastlc
were going to finish a game of chess.
Miss Benton had promised to see to the
lights and close the house.
The coroner called for the testimony
of Wilson, the gardener. and Edward
Jarnagin, the coachman. They confess
ed to having drunk good deal of beer
the previous night, which perhaps had
made them sleep more soundly than
usual and caused them not to hear the
revolver, though the room they occu-
pied over the stable, in the lower part
of the grounds, was near enough fol
the report to have reached them.
The coroner was asking them some
unimportant questions when Hendricks
rose and tiptoed across the room to
Lampkin.
Twill you do something for me?' he
asked.
"Gladlv," replied the doctor.
Hendricks lowered his voice to a
whisper:
$50 to the nearest office and tele-
graph johnson to bring the best blood
hound I have. Then meet me here.
"All right" Lampkin picked up his
hat and rose.
Stay" said Hendricks, following
him to the door "While you are out

BURNS AND SCALDS.

Remedies That Should Be Used Before the
Doctor Arrives.
A burn may result from excessive
heat applied in any way-hot air or hot
water, steam, fame or electricity-or
even from extreme cold. The injury re-
sulting from contact with hot water or
steam is usually called scald, but is
practically the same in its results as
burn.
Surgeons speak of different degrees
of burn, according to the amount of
tissue destroyed by it. Thus burn OF
the first degree is one that simply red
dens and irritates the skin; burn of
the second degree is one that causes
actual inflammation of the skin with
the formation of blisters, while burn
of the third degree destroys the skin
and more or less of the flesh beneath it,
or even chars and kills all the tissues,
including the bone itself.
The effects of burn depend partly
upon it's degree, but not entirely, for
burn even of the first degree may cause
death if it involves very large portion
of the surface of the body. This it does
by interfering with the necessary ex-
erection of waste matter which is con-
stantly taking place through the skin.
A curious effect of a severe burn in
any part Of the body is liberation of
the bowels following very intense con-
gestion of the entire digestive canal.
The bronchial tubes and the lungs are
sometimes injured by the inhalation of
steam or very hot air, but even apart
from such an accident person who has
been burned about the chest or back is
very liable to have an attack OF bron-
chitis or pneumonia in consequence.
The first thing to be done in the case
OF q burn of any degree is to stop the
pain. This should be done not only from
The natural impulse to relieve suffering,
but because the shock resulting from
the injury may be so greatly increased
by the asony as to cause the death OF
the patient, even when the BURNS in
themselves would not do so.
Covering the part with any blafa
substance, such as olive oil, vaseline,
sweet butter or -four paste, to keep off
the air will often afford great relief,
and in burns of the first degree nothing
more may be needed. Carron oil, the
name given to a mixture Of equal guam
titles of linseed oil and limewater, was
formerly and is still in many workshops
the favorite application for burn.
Better still is bicarbonat of soda (cook-
ing soda) or calcined magnesia. made
into an ointment with vaselinesor lard
or busted thickly over the skin.
Another application which is often
exceedingly grateful is 8 solutn5A ct
