CHAPTER x.

1t was an awful sight. There was
an expression of pain upon the gray,
upturned face, and it is the sacred
truth that my feelings were those OF
nan upon whom had fallen most
terrible and overwhelming blow. For
few moments, supporting in my arms
the insensible form Of my dear wife,
this. and no other, was the impression
produced upon me by the awful incl
dent. But it Is the sacred truth as
we'll that my agitation presently as
sumed another phase. My uncle was
dead-he had died before he could
carry into execution the stern and
ruthless design which would have shat
tered the happiness Of my beloved ones.
They had escaped the sentence he
would have pronounced upon them.
"Is 1t true, Richard?" whispered my
wife. my God! Is 1t true?'
"It is as true that lie is dead" said
Mr.. Mortlock, between his teeth, "as
that he has been murdered"
An exclamation of horror burst from
my lips, and from the lips of my wife.
Mile. Rosalie was silent.

Look here" said Mr.. Mortlock.
He turned down the bedclothes, and
pointed to thin circle round the dead
mans neck.
He has been strangled," said Mr..
Mortlock, "in his sleep"
Heaven have mercy upon him!
murmured my wife, in low, shudder-
ing voice.
ut will have" said Mr.. Mortlock,
mo mercy upon his murderer"
ut is strange" said Mile. Rosalie,
finding her voice, that nothing has
been seen of Mr.. Samuel Fleetwood"

the suggestion.
"But," said Mile. Rosalie, with per-
sistence, ut is strange, is it not, sirT'

"Meanwhile," said Mr.. Mortlock,
"this is a matter for the police"

"For the police" repeated Mr.. Mort
lock. "a wicked murder has been COM
mitted in your house. Do you propose
to hush 1t up?"
mo-" replied, II do not. Your in
sinuation is injurious and offensive"
Perhaps" he retorted, with bitter
emphasis, "as injurious and offensive
as you have considered my presence in
your house to have BEEN"
"Ah," I said, "you have observed
that"

His Apology.

Rather thoughtlessly, writes cor
respondent, had placed my hat on
the seat in a somewhat dim corner
of q city cafe, with the result that a
stout middle-aged man of prosperous
appearance, who entered with a
friend, sat upon 1t in decisive man
ner and crushed 1t beyond recogni-
ton. He rose hastily, and held the
broken article up in the air, with a
look of surprise. 1 awaited his pro-
found apologies, only to hear him
cry, in a .oud, combative voice: mo

that. sir!" He said no more.-Man-

Snakes Kill $4,000 Yearly.

An inexpensive instrument called
the "snake-bite lancet" the inven-
tion of Sir Lander Brunton, has been
introduced in India with splendid re-
suits. 1t is being introduced by the
Government in an effort to reduce
the fearful loss of life which amounts
to $4,000 persons each year.
A report by one person Is to the
effect that he had saved the lives Of
twenty persons bitten by cobras and
karaits within the last year by the
use of one lancet.

II am sure, SIR. I noticed that his
room was not as tidy as I've seen 1t
generally. Things seemed to be in con-
fusion"
returned to Fleetwood's apartments,
between which and my uncle's, as l
have mentioned, was a communicating
door. I placed my ear to this door
and listened. I heard no sound.
softly tried the door. 1t was locked;
but whether it had been locked from
the inside or the outside I could not
tell. BY this time it was o'clock, and
I began to feel uneasy. 1 went to my
wife and consulted her. She hardly
knew what to advise, having gathered
from me how peremptory were my
uncle's instructions that he should not
be disturbed. But when another hour
had passed we decided that, in the
strange and unaccountable absence Of
Samuel Fleetwood, we would make a
gentle effort to arouse him.
We stood together at the communicat.
ing door, and softly called to him, and
presently called in a louder tone, with.
out receiving an answer. My wife
tapped at the door, with no better re.
suit, and then l shook it, and called in
a clear, loud tone, "Uncle! Uncle"
And still there was no response from
him.
Richard" said my wife, II am
alarmed. He is an old man, and"
She could not proceed. Speechless,
she gazed at me, and I at her, and l
felt that, in her mind, as In mine, were
recalled the words I had uttered on
the previous night.
Something must be DONE" said.
How it came about l know not, but
now there were other persons In the
room beside oursclvcs-Mr. Mortlock
and Mile. Rosalic.
"The door should be forced" said Mr..
Mortlock.
II will call again first" said, and I
cried, at the top Of my voice, Uncle!
Uncle"
There was dread portent in the
silence that ensued. Feeling now that
there was not n moment to lose, l put
nv shoulder to the door and tried to
force 1t, but my strength was not
great enough.
"Let me try It," said Mr.. Mortlock.
He put forth all his strength, and
literally smashed the door in. Even ut
this dread juncture I noticed that Mile.
Rosalle looked at him in admiration Of
his strength.
We stepped into the room, expecting
and hoping that my uncle would leap
from his bed at the unsecmly intrusion
and confront us. The form Of my
uncle was upon the bed, encompassed
by an awful stiffness. We softly
moved toward 1t, and, bending for
ward, saw that he was cold and dead!
Horror struck, we retrcated; then in
stantly stepped forward again, my wife
only keeping in the background. l
lowered my ear to my uncle's mouth;
1t was rigid and fixed. / placed my
hand upon his heart; it was rigid and
fixed. I placed my hand upon his
heart; 1t was pulseless.
"He is dead" said.
Mr.. Mortlock cast infuriated glanccs
at me. My wife was falling to the
ground as caught her.
"Poor gentleman" said Mile. Rosalic.
"Poor old gentleman"
