CHAPTER VII.
Contains a Surprise.


 The first object brought to light, about two feet beneath the surface, was a piece of dark gray woolen stuff which, when the mold was removed, proved to be part of woman's skirt.
 With frantic eagerness got into the hole we had made and removed the soil with my hands, until l suddenly touched something hard.
 A body lay there, doubled up and crushed into the well-like hole the mon had dug.
 Together we pulled it out, when, to my surprise, on wiping away the dirt from the hard, waXen features, l rec ognized 1t as the body of Armida, the woman who had been my servant in Leghorn and who had afterwards mar ried Olinto. Both had been assassi- mated!
 When Muriel gazed upon the dead womans face she gave vent to an ex pression of surprise. The body was evidently not that of the person she had expected to find.
 Who is she, I wonder?" my con- panion calculated. Not a lady, evi- dently, by her dress and hands,"
 Evidently not" was my response.

Destructive Starfish.

Clearing Narragansett bay of that voracious enemy of the oyster. clam and scallop, the starfish. Is one of the principal recommendations of the commissioners of shell fisheries in the annual report just presented to the general assembly. Many acres of free ground-17,000 acres are exempt by law-are described as only breeding places for the starfish, which during the past year destroyed million bush- els of oysters besides ravaging the beds of clans and scallops. So seri. ous a menace to the shellfish indus. try is the starfish that the revenue of the state from leased oyster grounds is being affected The starfish set during June and July. Immense mum. bers are found upon seaweed. It is estimated that the starfish in one cart load of seaweed are capable of de- stroying over six million clans in one week. Raking the seaweed ashore is one way of killing the stars by the million.-Providence Bulletin.

 At half-past nine that night l pulled up the dogcart before the chief police station at Dumfries, and alighting al once sought the big fair Highlander Mackenzie, with whom 1 had had the consultation on the previous day.
 When we were seated in his room beneath the hissing gas Jet, related my adventure and the result of my in vestigation.
 "What?" he cried, jumping up "You've unearthed another body-a woman's"
 'T have And what is more, l can identify her." I replied. Her name is Armida, and she was wife of the murdered man Olinto Santini."
 "Then both husband and wife were killed?"
 "Without a doubt-a double trag- edy."
 But the two men who concealed the body! Will you describe them?"
 I did so, and he wrote at my dicta- tion, and calling in one of his sub inspectors, gave him instructions for the immediate circulation of the de- scription to all the police stations in the county, saying the two men were wanted on a. charge of willful murder

Only Changed One Shoe.

While an East side matron was bus. fly preparing to go to the theater the other afternoon. gossipy neighbor came to the front door. The woman stopped in the middle of the process of putting on her best shoes aud talked to the neighbor for some tipae. When the neighbor left she looked at the clock and saw she would have h hurry. So she hastily finished dress- ing and made dash for the car.
 She noticed a young man watched her all the way downtown. She searched her coat thoroughly for a stray raveling, but found none.
 After attending the theater she boarded car and still noticed that she attracted attention. She followed one girls eye and saw that 1t centered on the bottom of her dress. Looking to discover the cause she found that in her haste she had only changed one of her shoes and on her left she wore a patent kid shoe, while on the other there was a gunmetal calf shoe!-In- dianapolis News.

 Armlda had been particularly good nousemaid, black-haired, black-eyed uscan, quick, cleanly and full of keen sense of humor It was a great SHOCK to me to find her lying dead. me breast of her dress was stained wlth dried blood, which, on examina- 'lon' found had issued from a deen ana tatal wound beneath the ear where sne nad been struck an unerring blow 'hat mad severed the artery.

 Then, leaving the exhumed body be- heath tree, 1 caught Muriel by the waist and waded across the deep chan nel worn by the stream at that point. alter which we both ascended the steep bank, where the pair had dis appeared in the darkness of the wood.
 We went on through the gloomy fer est, for the light had faded and eve. ming was now creeping on. From time to time We halted and listened. But there was dead silence, broken only by the shrill cry of night bird and the low rustling of the leaves in the autumn wind. The men knew their way, it seemed, even though the wood was trackless. Yet they had nearly twenty minutes start of us, and in that time they might be already out in the open country. Would they succeed in evading us? Yet even if they did, could describe the dress of one o1 them. while that of his companion was as far as 1 made out, dark blue, of a somewhat nautical cut. He wore also fiat cap, with a peak.

DIET FOR THE BRAlN-W WORKER
Should Be That Nourshina to the Whole Body, With Special Refer
 ence to Nervous System.

A great deal has been said about the value of certain articles as brain food, and one of the pet theories cf popular physiology has been that fish and other substances composed large ly of phosphorus are the most appro- priate diet for brain-workers. But modern science is emphasizing that the best food for the brain Is that which nourishes the whole body. with special reference to the nervous sys- tenn.
 Brain power is largely an expres- sion through the nerves of bodily vt- tality. In discussing this point in a says that the diet of braAn-workers should be of large variety, delicately served, abundantly nutritious, of which fresh meat should be prominent con stituent.

 1 called on Muriel and explained how the body had so suddenly disap- peared, whereupon she stared at me pale faced. saying:
 "The assassins must have watched us! They are aware, then, that we have knowledge of their crime?"
 "Of course," said.
 "Ah!" she cried hoarsely. Then we are both in deadly peril-peril of our own lives! These people will hesitate at nothing Both you and are marked down by them, without a doubt. We must both be wary not to fall into any trap they may lay for us" Her very words seemed an admis- of the conspirators, and yet she would give me no clue to them. Next day I accompanied the party l over to Glenlea, about five miles dis tant, and at noon at a spot previously arranged we found the ladies awaiting us with luncheon spread under the trees. AS soon as we approached Muriel came forward quickly, handing me telegram, saying that it had been sent over by one of my uncle's grooms at the moment they were leaving the castle.

SOME LIVES REPORTED LOST
Fields Recently Laden With Bumper Crops Observation-Disclosures Break and Flood Towns, Forcing h.
 habitants to Flee.

Newport.-Five lives have Seen lost, 1t is reported, from Elmo, in the worst flood that has swept the White river valley since 1891. Scores of fam flies in the Oil Trough bottoms that are flooded for miles, are being re- moved from housetops, trees and other places of vantage by the crews of the steamers Mary c. Lucas and Musko- gee. These boats and men work ed for many hours and have steamed without trouble over miles of territory where, many feet beneath the water, corn that only a few days since neared harvest, now is ruined and will be lost. Captain Inman of the Muskogee said he has driven his boat miles from the river. He reach ed Elmo, eight miles inland, with diff hculty.
 Jacksonport was inundated. Tho levee parted there and wall of water swept into stores and homes, whence occupants had fled few hours before. The property loss there will be large.
 Direct railroad communication to Little Rock was stopped because of washouts on the Iron Mountain:
 Mines on the bank of the Buffalo river district have been extensively damaged and expensive machinery has been washed away. The rise on this river is estimated at 50 feet Rush. the principal mining camp of the dis trict, was covered by the flood for a day. The residents escaped to the hills. The White river division of the 1 Iron Mountain railroad has suffered from one end to the other. | Heavy damage to crops and loss of live stock has been caused by the un- usual rise of the Ouachita river. One farmer near Philadelphia lost cotton, corn and cattle valued at between S6,000 and $7,000.
 A break in the levee on Indian creek, near Success, let the flood de- rude many acres of crops and many cattle were drowned. Wind and floods have damaged the corn crop in the .sJJttfe Missouri valley. Spring river e3egbFs, higher than ever before, and s,. 4a.te:a. aBedg ze5 ss.a v aF5is ciSpS, n 'the ba,ess- - berry and Eleven Point rivers hay been destroyed.
 Damage estimated at s2O0,0OO ha! been done in Fulton county Report! from Salem say that the South Forb was up 25 feet, and that three bridges have been washed out. Havana reports that the Petit Jean bottoms are flood ed with a loss of thousands of acres of corn. Families in this district will be destitute as this is the second crop destroyed this year.
 The upper White river valley along the White and it's tributaries presents a scene of devastation down on the low lands. Fourteen inches of rain fell in 60 hours, and this rainfall was general all over the White river wa ter shed.
 The bottoms along the White are all submerged, and the river is running bankfull from bluff to bluff The esti- mated damage in Boone, Baxter and Marion counties, Arkansas, and Fancy county, Missouri, is placed at one mil- lion dollars.
