CHAPTER TX.

| Hardly had NJ Alfred Cassagne swal-
! lowed the last mouthful of his breakfast,
| than his active mind reverted again to
| the mystery which yet surrounded the
death of Nine. Roupell.
Who was the man. at present unknown.
who had crept like a thief in the night
| into the chateau. and as quietly stolen
away when his foul work had been &C
complished? And what was his motive in
committing the crime? Was he in any
way connected with NJ Chabot? Could
il be possible that the project of police
lad stumbled on the real instigator Of
the murder in the person Of Chabot, and
that this unknown person was his CON
federate? Most likely at that moment.
some officer from the prefecture was en-
ga ged in closely watching Chabot's slight
est movements. There might be some
thing in the projects theory. after all
Mature reflection convinced NJ. Cassagne
that it would not do to dismiss it with
mere shrug Of the shoulders. Chabot's
accomplice might be the man they were
looking for. Anyhow. 1t would not do TO
leave the point uncovered.
Il must write az once" he said. pres
entity, Ito Cliquot. Cliquot is my assist
ant. We must have him keep watch of
this Monsieur Chabot's movements"
NJ. Cassagne wrote out series Of in
structions. particularly cautioning his as
sistant to keep track of VI. Chabot, and
under no circumstances, if he ran across
any of the people from the prefecture, TO
let them really know who he was. Then
he appeared to be engroSsed In thought.
He rubbed his hands violently together.
as If he would impart activity to his
brain BY the friction. He arose. thrust
back his chair. and began to walk rapidly
up and down the room. stopping occasion
ally to examine the pictures on the walls,
with the eye Of a critic.
"Madame's husband left her very well
of. I should judge" he remarked at last.

The name OF the old time castle and
town has added a noun. a verb. an
adjective and a participe to the Ian
guage. The most comprehensive def
milton of the noun "blarney" is ''ex-
ce-iingly complimentary language;
fiattery; smooth. wheedling talk; pleas
ing cajolery." As TO the origin of the
word, one photographer quotes Grote
as crediting the derivation of it from
the phrase licking the barney
stone" applied to incredible stories
told of climbing TO stone very diff
cult of access in a castle Of that name
in the county of Cork. Ireland" But
he added that DR.. Jameson derives it
from the French "balwerne." "a lie;
frivolous talk and defines IL gross
fiattery; unmeaning or vexatious dis
course Uow)." But the word seems
to have outGrown this restricted mean
ing since the latter part of the eight
zenith century. Every Irishman south
of the Liffey is popularity supposed to
have kissed the blarney stone, and If.
moreover, he has had a dip in the
Shannon he is reputed TO have the req
uisite amount of impudence. or what
the natives call civil courage."-New

A MoHAMMEDAN FUNERAL.
Ceremonies With Which n Body IL
Consigned TO the Grave.

When the life of a Mohammedan is
ebbing away a distinguished reader of
the Koran is summoned to recite aloud
its chapter on the resurrection, so thai
the spirit of the person, on hearing It.
may have an easy death. The Mo
hammedan believes that the vital prin-
ciples of the whole system are concen-
trated in the head, when death is the
result. The watchers at the bedside
also read some passages, and then
drink of sherbet is given to the pa
tient to lessen the pangs Of death. AS
soon as the spark of life has fled, the
two great toes are tied together with
thin strip of cloth, the mouth is
closed, and incense is burned near the
body
The interment follows a few hours
after death. The washers are men
and women who wash and shroud the
body and dig a hole in the earth to
hold the water, so that it cannot spread
very much, as it is considered unlucky
to tread on this water. The washing is
great ceremony, and when finished
the body is shrouded with even more
deceased, she returns the dowry her
husband had given her. Ii the deceas-
eds mother is present, she says, THE
milk with which / sucked thee / freely
bestow upon thee" Thus she resigns
the debt of the deceased to her. When
flowers have been placed on the body
it is carried to the grave on a bier or,
if the relatives can afford it, in a cof-
fin At the grave four creeds are re-
ci,ed, and the body, with the head to
| the north and the face looking toward
Mecca, is laid on its back in its tomb.
The grave is about seven feet long for
| both sexes, but the depth for a man is
| measured by the distance between his
feet and chest; for a woman. between
her feet and waist. If the body is too
long for the grave, it is believed that
| the deceased must have been a great
| sinner
Before the body is covered the Mo-
| hammedan takes a little earth and
throwing it into the grave. says. I'VE
| created you of earth, and we return
| you TO the earth. and we shall raise
you out of the earth on the day Of resur-
| rection." Then a mound is built II
| keep the earth in the grave from crush
| ing the body. and water is sprinkled
| on it in three lines. Special prayers for
the safe voyage of the deceased are Of
| fered after the burial. AS in the case
of a Hindoo funeral. the poor are not
| forgotten. both remem berinC the needy
| by distributing money. salt. rice and
| wheat among them after the funeral.
