My golden week OF happiness is gone,

after my marriage my uncle had been

his name to some document, together
with the hired nurse.

to have against marriage. He growls

"Ah!' said; she was never married"
NO" she laughed Il should not say

He had called her at this moment, and
l was left alone to overhear converse
ton between old Jenkins and Betty,
who both being deaf, were talking over
the same matter in the kitchen.

Well" | returned, they were both

the spooks, and | don't believe they

Nonsense" cried MacArdel. you

jerks was scared almost to death and
you may take my word for it that his
terror was genuine, and that he believ-
ed the things to be supernatural. But
it wasn't SO with the widow. She knew
all about them, you may be sure, and
when they came so close to us she was
only afraid that we would capture
them or shoot them or do something
of that sort. OF course this jerks
knows about the bundle of cloths be-
cause he had them last night when
you shot him in the hand, but l don't
believe he has any idea of what they
had been used for. l tell you, Ware,
the widow is at the head of this whole
job and jerks is nothing but her
tool"
Well | replied, "it may be as you
say, but l wish we were out of it.
You may be right in your deductions,
but they've got perfect case against
us if they choose to take it into court,

ready for the night, said:

anything, eff yen only let us git aouten
this place an go home."
There was a small Bible on the Ii
brary table and MacArdel caused
jerks and the widow to place a hand
upon it as they successfully took upon
themselves a solemn obligation to pre-
serve absolute secrecy concerning the
affair of the evening This done, Mac
Ardel addressed them briefly but i'm
pressively:
DO not think for a moment" he
said, that have changed my opinion
as to your knowledge of the things
that are going on here. I'll admit that
there is more to it than | thought at
first and that more people are mixed
up in it than | had supposed But
that only makes it the easier for us,
because, in affairs of this kind, there
is danger in numbers, and, while
am convinced that you two are the
ringleaders in the whole business, the
more confederates you have the soon
er will we be able to make one of
them confess.

member the oath you have taken to-
night or it will go hard with you both
AS long as you keep this thing to your
selves you won't get into trouble, but
the moment you start any fuss about
it you will hear from us in a way
that will make your hair stand on
end! And whatever you do, don't
forget that I'm a doctor, and that
know, just as well as you do, what
those old rags have been used for!"
With this significant remark, Mac
Ardel opened the door of the room
and we followed them out of the
house and watched them as they clam
bered into the wagon and drove rapid
ly away.
When they were out of earshot
said abruptly:
This is pretty mess that you've
made of things, Mac! Do you realize
that these people can have us up for

how many other crimes into the bar.

were before!"

piled. he again fell forward in a
swoon.
Get him a drink, Ware said Mac
Ardel. There's whisky in my bag,
you know"
jerks coughed and sputtered over
the stuff in a manner nowise compli
mentary to the quality of liquor affect
ed by MacArdel, and then, bursting
into a cold perspiration, he began to
tremble violently and beg piteously to
be allowed to go home; while Mrs.
Bruce, with pale, CHASTITY face, pre-
served the silence that she had main
tanned from the first.
You may both go on one condl-
tion. said MacArdel, sternly, "and on
one condition only. You must swear
that you will never reveal a word Of
this nights doings without the consent
of Mr. Ware or myself"
Swear nuthin'," muttered Jenks,
feebly. I'll have the law on ye fur
this, ye varmint."
Like flash MacArdel grasped his
arm in vice-like grip and said cold
ly:
You remember how l handled you
before, jerks? Well, you know I'm
your master when it comes to fight,
and unless you do as | tell you and do
it at once, back you go to the path
where the ghosts are."
Il hain't afeered of em eff you

hearted attempt at bravado. Il reckon

His very manner showed that he

Ardel was quick to note it and make
the most of it.
You won't have me with you,

there alone, unless you do as l say.
Do you understand"
That jerks understood there could
be no doubt, for his terror was obvi-

1t is surely a sensible move in the right

CHAPTER XII.
A Second Note.

Half leading and half carrying the
unfortunate jerks and followed by
Mrs. Bruce who walked as one in a
dream, we returned to the house.
Once on the veranda, MacArdel un-
bound the fellows arms and, noticing
bloodstains on his face and shirt front,
examined him closely to see if he had
sustained any severe injury in his
helpless fall. Nothing more serious
than badly cut lip was discovered,
and we took the pair into the library,
where a light was burning dimly.
Turning up the lamp so that he could
see distinctly, MacArdel sent me for
d basin of water and a towel and
stitched up the wound with material
from his pocket instrument case.

then exclaimed in triumph:

just as | said. The widow knew what

house and she wrote this note so as

The chief difference between her
and her grandmother-and it Is a
very curious difference-is that the
older woman regarded herself sim
ply as part of the human race. The
man was it's head, it's spokesman.
She thought of herself as his child,
his wife or his mother.
The woman of to-day is not only
his equal but his antagonist. She
talks not of humanity but womanity.
Every village has it's club of women
who urge each other into new profess
sions, work or studies which have
hitherto been considered the business
of men only.
Every newspaper has a woman's de-
partment in which the successes of
the sex in wrestling trades and handi-
crafts from their brothers and hus-
bands are daily noted.
| saw to-day the announcement that
a woman was now filling a place as
brakeman on a western railway. This
fact is told with a hysterical sob of
triumph, as though when this ener-
getic young person laid her hand on
the brake she had dealt fatal blow
at the foe of her sex and had made
for herself a long stride upward in
the scale of being.
In our national exhibitions, too,
there is always woman's department
where statues, pictures, soaps, confec-
tionery, etc, made by our sex are ex-
hibited apart to prove that women
are as skillful with their fingers as
men,
