Answer to Query,

The act of uplifting the hand during
the taking of an oath is SO ancient
that it would be futile to even attempt
to say when it started. Homer at
tempts to say when it started. Homer
mentions it as common among the
Greeks of his time. and it is also found
in the earliest biblical time. For in
stance, Abraham. the father of the
Jewish people, says: II have lifted
up my hand to Jehovah" showing that
even at that remote period the prac-
tice was existent. 1t was from the
Jews, of course, that the practice
found its way into christendom, where
it has ever since held its place in ju-
dicial trials.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Tho spIrI. Of tho Ancient Wood.

The Spirit Of tho Ancient Wood.
Agatha's first thought on awakening
late in the forenoon. was the memory
Of Sallie Kingsbury coaxing her to
bed and tucking her in. in the purple
light of the early morning. She re-
membered the attention with pleasure
nnd gratitude. as another blessing
added to the greater one of James
Hambleton's turn toward recovery
Sallie's act was mute testimony that
Agatha was. in truth, heir to Hercu-
les Thayer's estate. spiritual and mate
rial.
She summoned Lizzie, and while she
was dressing. laid out directions for
the day. During her short stay in
Ilion. Lizzie had been diligent enough
In gathering items of information, but
nevertheless she had remained oblivi-
GUS of any impending crisis during the
night. Her pompadour was marcelled
as accurately as II she were expect
ing a morning call from Mr.. Straker.
No rustlings OF the wings of the
Angel of Death had disturbed her
sleep. In fact. Lizzie would have

been announced to her. Her sophlsti-
cation had banished such supersti-
tions. She noticed, however, that
Agatha's candles had burned to their
sockets, and inquired II Miss Red
mond had been wakeful.
"Mr. Hambleton was very Ill. Every.
body in the house was up till near
morning." replied Agatha rather
tartly.
"Oh, what pity! Could have
done anything? I never heard a
sound" cried Lizzie effusively. h
mo. there was nothing you could
have DONE" said Agatha.
ITS very bad for your voice, Miss
Redmond. staying up all night" went
On Lizzie solicitously. You're quite
pale this morning. And with your
western tour ahead of youi"
Agatha let these adjurations go un-
answered. 1t occurred to Lizzie that
possibly she had allied herself with a
mistress who was foolish enough to
ruin her public career by private fol-
lies. such as worrying about sick peo-
pie. Heaven. in Lizzie's eyes, was the
glare of publicity; and since she was
unable to shine in 1t herself, she loved
to be attached to somebody who could.
Her fidelity was based on Agatha's g
celebrity as singer. She would have
preferred serving an actress who was
all the rage. but considered popular
singer, who paid literally. as the next
best thing.
There was always enough common
sense in Lizzie's remarks to make
some impression. even on a person
capable of the folly of mourning at q
death-bed. Agathe's spirits. freshened
by hope and the sleep of health, rose
to a buoyancy which was well able to
deal with practical questions. She
quickly formed a plan for the day
though she was wise enough to with.
hold the scheme from the maid.

Didn't Get Coal Scuttle.

Deciding that the rights of John
Wesley Amos were not sufficiently
clear in his suit for the appointment
of a receiver for the Crescent Club,
of Lambertville Vice Chancellor
Backes, in the Court of Chancery
Tuesday, dismissed the application
and denied the motion for an in
junction to restrain the club MEM
bers from disposing of any property
or the club,
Amos was formerly president of
the club and was dismissed upon the
ground that he circulated scandal
and attempted to disrupt the organi-
zation.
Dayton Oliphant appeared for the
club before the Vice Chancellor and
he pointed out that it was within
the jurisdiction Of the other mem
bers to dismiss Amos because of his
actions.
Amos asked an injunction to pre-
vent the disposing of the property
and when Vice Chancellor Backes in
quired as to what it consisted of, it
was detailed as pool table, a few
lamps, coal scuttle and a cuspidor.
After hearing the afidavits in the
case the Vice Chancellor denied the
motion for the injunction.
Counsellors L. H. Sergeant, E. w.
Hunt and w. F. Hayhurst looked
after Amos interests in the case.
