CHAPTER XXVIII.-ICentinued.)
Kitty M7rchurst heard all this evidence
In dumb horror. She now knew that after
running her life this man wanted her to
die a felon's death. She arose to her feet
and stretched out her hands in protest
against him, but before she could speak a
word the place seemed to whirl round her,
and she fell down in a dead faint. This
event caused great excitement in court,
and many began to assert positively that
she must be guilty. else why did she faint?
Kitty was taken out OF court, and the ex-
animation was proceeded with, while Mad
anne Midas sat pale nad horror-struck Mt
the revelations which were nov being
made.
Vandeloup further deposed that the
bottle Kitty ook from his desk was quite
full and, moreover, when the other bottle
which had been found in her room was
shown to him, he declared that it was as
nearly as possible the same size as the
missing bottle. so the inference Drawn
from this was that the bottle produced
being three-qunrters empty, some of the
Roixon had been used.
The question now arose that, as the
guilt of Mics Marchurst seemed so GER
tain, how was It that Selma Sprouts was
poisoned instead of her mistress? But
this was settled by Madame Midas who,
being recalled, deposed that Kitty did not
know Selma slept with her on that night,
and the curtains being drawn, could not
possibly tell two people were in the bed.
This was all the evidence obtainable,
and the coroner now proceeded to sum up.
The jury retired, and the court was
very much excited. Every one was quite
certain that Kitty was guilty, but there
was a strong feeling against NJ. Nande-
loup as having been in some measure the
cause, though indirectly, of the crime.
But hat young gentleman, in accordance
with his usual foresight, had left the
court and gone straight home, as he had
no wish to face n crowd of sullen faces.
and perhaps worse. Madame Midas sat
still in court awaiting the return of the
jury, with the calm face of a marble
sphinx. But, though she suffered no APP
pearanccs of suffering We're seen on her
face. She never had believed in
human nature, and now the girl whom she
had rescued from comparative poverty
placed in opulence had wanted to
kill her. With clasped hands, aching
heart, but passive face, she sat waiting
for the end.
The jury returned in about half an
and there was a dead silence as the
stood up to deliver the verdict.
The jury found as follows:
That the deceased, Selma Jane Sprouts,
died on the 21st day of November, from
the effects of poison, namely, COMA, felo-
administered by one Katherine
and the jury, on their oaths,
say that the said Katherine Marchurst
willfully and maliciousiy did
the said deceased.
That evening Kitty was arrested and
lodged in the Melbourne jail, to await her
trial on a charge of willful murder.

In a paper recently published by the
American Philosophical Society, Prof. T.
J.. j. See of the naval observatory at
Mare Island dissents from the theory
guile common among scientists that earth
quakes are caused by the subsistence of
rock faults in the earth's strata. Prof.
Sees opinion is that these disturbances
are caused by the explosive power of
steam from within or just beneath the
earth's crust, the generation of this steam
being chiefly due to leakage from the
ocean beds. AS proof of this theory he
cites the fact that most violent earth
quakes occur in lands bordering on deep
seas.
