Synopsis of Preceding Chapters

DR. GEORGE LESTER, an eminent young
- English toxicologist, was trespassing on the
fishing preserves of British peer, when he
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 Arnclffes
agent.
Lester 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 Arncl1ffe had
been his nesters) former patron and made a
hobby of collecting and studying poisons.
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-
viction of his murderer.
Warren was credited with trif1ing with the
affections of numerous village girls, notably one
named May Mannerng.
Arncliffe's will left the bulk of his property
to Edith.
+ Lester impudent1y confronted by Warren
and promptly knocked the latter down. He
Uester 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
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 Arnc1iffe'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 the latter
a Scapegrace she feared that if the purpose of
the gift was known it would ruin his future.
Edith insisted that she would give the Arm
cliffe fortune to Bradshaw.

maid in the minor straits of life, but
in her veins flowed the bluest blood
of France, and this blow from the
hand of a friend was not to be en-
dured.
Had Mrs. Angler been gifted with
greater acumen than that 1ue to the semi
legal training she boosted Of, she could not
have failed to see and wonder at the
cool courage which sparkled in this
girls eyes and gave unwonted frmness
to her lips.
You have told me what 1 wanted to
know. Now you may go!"
The young marquise pointed imperi-
ously to the door, and the woman of a
lower order found naught to say. Indeed,
she was fit to choke with rage, and her
passion was famed by the knowledge
that she had met her mistress. She went
out, quivering yet abashed.
Edith did not weep nor wiring her hands
impotently. She walked slowly to the
window and looked out across the smiling
park, all radiant in sunshine what
is this horror that has come into my
1ife?" she asked herself WHO did kill
Lord Arncliffe, and who was the person
to gain by the manning of my poor old
friend, that mistaken woman's hus-
band?"
These two questions were occupying
others in Arncliffe Hall, and the common
belief was that to answer one would be
to answer both. Was it so? That was
the puzzle.

though she had borrowed some of Mrs.
Warren's austerity.
You wish to see me, Miss Holt?" she
said stiffiy.
YES" returned Edith quietly, Il

Il think my husbands condition should

Mrs Angler scornfully.
Il am trying to make every allowance
for your terrible anxiety. But we really
need not fence with each other, Mrs.
Angler. l suggest that you have deli

What am l to suppose from such an
answer?" cried Edith, losing all patience.

YOU think me capable of committing SO
wicked a crime or infiicting SO terrible
an injury, you must surely remember
that | was actually in your company
at the time of the assault upon Mr..
Aingier?"
Mrs Angler pursed her lips into some
thing approaching sheer. She had all
the nulish obstinacy of the exemplary
matron. "It is possible to be morally
guilty of crime, without having actually
committed it, she retorted. "You must
not think people are all fools, Miss Holt.
Young girls who have everything pro-
vided for them, even their dress accounts
paid, and who never leave their homes,
do not require three hundred pounds
for nothing. And in view of the sup
pressed letters, your fainting fit, when the
arrival of Lord Arncliffe's nephew was
announced, did not appear to be very
creditable toward you
so that is what my one-time friends
think of mel" said Edith bitterly. Il

ashamed of herself. "Oh, we'll, she
answered, the more harshly because of an
uneasy consciousness that her behavior
had not been altogether generous, after
all, you have only yourself to blame.
People see nothing strange in Lord Arm
cliffe giving three hundred pounds to his
intended heiress, but, in view of your
professed ignorance of the contents of his
will, they think it strange that you should
ask for such a sum. tell you frankly
there are very strong hints that you did
not obtain that money from Lord Arm

There are more unlikely things!'
snapped Mrs. Angler. The mention of
murder had brought back to mind the
attack upon her husband and with it all
her bitter suspicious. Il know well
enough that you did not strike the actual
blow at my husband; but it simply comes

Months Is Small Sum

How many American women of the

badly battered head. bruised eye and
broken nose. Mrs. Kenna appeared be-
fore Police Judge Austin yesterday
and told of the cruelties inflicted on her
by her husband. 1t was practically the
same old story told to the officers who
arrested her husband the night before.
After breaking down several times
with weeping, Mrs. Kenna began:
Judge, my husband has not lived with
me for nearly three years I have made
no complaint but have struggled along
as best I could with our three little
ones. A week ago my husband re-
turned to me and asked forgiveness and
gladly granted it.
Next he gave me s1e 30 and told me
to use it. 1t was the first money that
he had given me since he left me- but in
little while he came to me and told
me he had to have some clothes. II
told him where the money was and he
took $40. Wednesday night he came
home and began to abuse me.
when we were living in Riverside in
March, 1908, he was arrested and sent
to the county Jail for cruelty to our
children. That time he served six
months. Just as soon as he was re-
leased he came to our home and beat
me for testifying against him. He was
agian committed to Jail. Since have
not seen him until he came home"
Judge Austin frowned and announced
that he would sentence Kenna at IL
o'clock this morning.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Sept. IL
Two hundred veterans from camp D.
E. Sickles, Huntington Beach, visited
the Sawtelle Soldiers Home. Five cleo
trio cars were filled with old soldiers
and their wives. Many took baskets
and spent the day at the home. Nearly
all of them returned late this evening.
The congested condition at the camp
have been overcome and tonight there
is no complaint of the scarcity of hunks.
All day the veterans and their
families have been pouring in. Com
mander Paul was seen this afternoon
and he said that by Sunday or Monday
the attendance would eclipse any pre-
vious gathering in the history of the
encampment. One thing the veterans
seem to appreciate fully is their car
riage drives to and from the tent city,
which are free. The board of trade has
placed about a dozen carriages at their
disposal, and they are driven about
continuously without money and with
out price.
All day the women have been plan
ming for tonights entertainment, the
day having been set apart especially
for them. Past President Mrs. C. A.
Spence arrived yesterday and aided ma
terially in preparing and carrying out
the program. Mrs. r. E. Wands, past
deputy president from Oregon also
arrived
When the meeting was called to order
tonight there was scarcely standing
room in the large tent and the pretty
decorations showed to advantage under
the glow of scores of incandescent
lamps attached to the frame work of
the tent.
Evening Program
The meeting was raped to order at
7:3O o'clock and the following program
was rendered:
Selection, drum corps; song, Mrs.

GOVERNOR cARTER's LATEST

Governor Carter is himself again.
This is very positively established by
his quoted remarks after his CONVERSE
tion with the President

element in Hawaii" he was asked
George r. Carter" he replied
promptly. with laugh.
When Carter feels In good trim he
is willing to shoulder all the burdens
and the troubles OF the whole category.
And when he does not. he is as touchy
and explosive as the next man in
Hawaii
This one expression Is all that Ha
wall requires, to be informed that the
Governor has taken off his blue Cog
giles and sees different light fitting
through the shadows that beset the
official path Of an Executive leader in
the Territory of Hawaii.
No one believes that Carter thinks
he is the source Of all the trouble. II
is merely the signal thrown out by
him that II there is any source Of trou-
BILE he is willing to shoulder II and
call 1t quits-until the next time. Very
few in Hawaii believe that there is
any serious trouble anyway. It was all

on the receipts OF this island for the

revenue OF this county for the, next
six months will. however, be largely in
excess of last years revenue, so the
pro rata of s4G90 for the next six
months is safe. The Board of Super

also carries with 1t one Of his good
natured, characteristic Acknowledge
ments of the corn
The newspaper report is more re-
assuring than otherwise to the people
Of Hawaii, provided the Governor does
not get excited after he gets in harness
again and the collar begin to chafe
and the load drag.
One feature. other than the return of
the Governors old time good nature,
that will attract attention Is the state
ment that he intends to return to the
islands determined to continue his
fight for what he believes to be the
best for them and for the people gen.
orally" This of course may mean a
beautiful generality or II may mean
that the Governor has a special theory
he wants to work out and intends to
give a new start.
Naturally IL It indicates that the
Governor intends to take sort of a
fatherly direction of the people OF the
Territory, and II they don't accept ev-
erything he wants. fight, why that OF
course means that the Governor Is
heading back to Hawaii with the pros
pect of loads of trouble before him.
II there Is one thing more than another
of which the citizens of the Territory
/ of Hawaii have shown themselves ca
pable, Il is their readiness to be led
but never driven.
Having decided to return. 1t Is to be
presumed that the Governor intends to
carry on the work of the Chief Exec
utive's office and not. as has been fire.
auently suggested, devote his time to
the political side play of merely using
his office to gain the position Of Dele
gate or anything else. This appears az
the only digni6ed solution Of his move'
ments. To make the most of his efforts
for the Territory and for the Nation
any Governor must work with the peo'
pie. Otherwise he is butting stone.
walls ali the time and no one profits
Consequently the statement given
out by the Governor at Oyster Bay in
terpreted in natural and sensible terms
is reassurlng TO the people Of the Ter
ritory, In that 1t indicates the Gov
errors readiness to take up his worh
again in the same spirit that he APP
preached II originally.
Should his fight for his ideas Of wha'
lis best for the islands and the peo'
pie" mean a renewal of the colonial
scheme, there Is much more lack o.
harmony ahead for Governor Carter.
The people will not take kindly to that
proposition regardless of whether II
has the support of the President.
1t is to be presumed however that
the remark means what such state
ments usually mean when the Gov
ernor is in good spirits. ready to tackle
anything from precinct primary t
a Legislature in the utmost good ma
ture.
