Synopsis of Preceding Chapters

DR GEORGE LESTER, an eminent young
- English toxicolOgst, was trespassing on the
rendered a slight service to Miss Edith Holt,
secretary to the Earl of Arncliffe, owner of the
estate. He also encountered Harry Warren, a
domineering individual, who was Arncliffe' S
agent
Lester was subsequently called to the castle,
the regular physician being absent, and found
Arncliffe dead. He announced that the Earl
had been poisoned with arsenic
Lester learned from Edith that Arncliffe had
been his heSter'S) former patron, and made
hobby of collecting and studying posons
Ainger, Arncliffe's solicitor, arrived at the Hall,
and announced that the Earl had feared he was
being poisoned and left ten thousand pounds to
go to the person chiefly responsible for the con-
vction of his murderer.
Warren credited with trifing with the
affections of numerous village girls, notably one
named May Mannering.
Arnclffe's will left the bulk of his property
to Edith.
Lester was impudent1y confronted by Warren
and promptly knocked the latter down. He
Oestec )realized that he was becoming IN love
with Edith.
The Coroner's inquest to inquire into the cause
of Arncliffe's death opened at the Hall. Much
interest manifested in the testimony that
Edith had secured three hundred pounds from
the Earl shortly before his death: The Coroner
announced that witness from New-York had
just arrived. This was William Lincoln Brad
shaw, nephew of Lord Arncliffe's, who had
written letters to the latter that evidently had
been intercepted
The three hundred pounds that Edith had been
given were for her brother, but as the latter
Scapegrace she feared that II the purpose OF
the gift was known it would ruin his future.
Edith insisted that she would give the Arm
clife fortune to Bradshaw.
Warren had been embezzling thousands of
pounds from Lord Arnclife, and in getting pos
session of the telltale books struck Angler a
murderous blow on the head. without the lawyer
seeing him. The latter was not killed. In rush
ing from the scene Warren fell and became uncon-
scious- Leigh, a poacher, Warren's enemy, had
seen the deed and secured possession OF the books
Lester caught Brading stealing Edth's letters
from poSt-box and made him return one, think
ing it was all he had. However, the detective
had taken two and kept one, which was to Miss
Holts brother in reference to the three hundred
pounds This tended to allay Brading's suSpi-
cions against the young woman.

capable of caring for it while he was in

occurred.
The stranger had flung himself again
into the chair beside the table, motioning

Glancing quickly about him, Colonel
Morgan saw, besides the rifle from over
Mona's shoulder, at least four more,

Throwing up his hands he called:
-" All right, Captain. The jokes old, but

hundred pounds handed over as a mere
private matter between gentlemen was
a sum of money not to be thrust aside
with lofty Indifference.
Bradshaw did not offer any further
opinions, so Brading resumed the con-
versation.
There is another point he said,
which requires good deal of explain
alton. This DR.. Lester, who headed the
scientific expedition sent to West Africa
by Lord Arnc1iffe, arrives here on fish
ing excursion. By some extraordinary
coincidence he did not know that his
patron lived in the neighborhood. We
may note in passing that DR.. Lester is a
very eminent authority on poisons. Now,
on the very day of Lord Arncliffe's death,
DR.. Lester and Miss Holt are admittedly

cock-and-bull story about an otter and
a trout"
Did you say you were Irish?, asked
Bradshaw lazily.
We'll, sir, you know what l mean.
Who is to say that Miss Holt and the
doctor were really strangers-that they
were not, as matter of fact, old lovers?
l have had my eyes open pretty wide, as
you may imagine, and if those two are
not sweet on each other, l will eat my
hat"
That may or may not be true" said
the American shortly. Somehow, the
suggestion that there was an understand
ing between Edith and George Lester
was not particularly pleasing to him.
Anyway, DR.. Lester is a sure-enough
white man, and everybody knows that
he has only just returned from the
Ashanti swamps. Go and place your
head under the pump in the yard, my
good Brading"
All very well," returned Brading,
somewhat ruffled by the repeated as
PERSONS on his intellectual capacity.
" 1t is not impossible, nevertheless, that
the meeting down by the trout-stream
was not the first one. If it was, all |
can say is that they have got on with
remarkable rapidity. Young Warren

is something very queer about that in

"Oh, nonsense, sir!" cried Brading.

stable about him But he is not of the
type which makes a cunning murderer"

the lint short; in the south-central
counties and in the extreme north
eastern portion the bolls are opening
prematurely, owing to rust; army

where some of it is badly burnt and
specked; it is curing well, color and
texture are good, but the leaf is light.
In the western portion slight dam
age by worms is reported.
Corn improved during the past
week, but late corn in some places
suffered from drought, and some cor
respondents report that it will not
mature; a poor crop is expected in
the eastern, while the prospects are
for good crops in the western and
central portions. Fodder is about
all secured in the eastern and central
districts; cutting is in progress in
the western. The saving of peavine
hay is under way and good yields
are being secured. Glover was bene-
flied by the rains and is looking good.
White potatoes have improved and
digging is in progress in the west

Peanuts, turnips and beans are gen

The sorghum crop is in good condi-
