32 THE PITTSBUKG DISPATCH. SATURDAY, APRIL 9.- 1892L SCENES FROM LlfE'S STAGE, TEN ORIGINAL STORIES, ttT.ITTEX FOH TIIE DISPATCH BY SIR GILBERT E. CAMPBELL, 'BART., Author of "Detective Stories From Real Life," "The Avenging Hand," "The Mystery of Mandeville Square," Etc. 3fO. L A BLACK PIN. Mr. and Mrs. Bywater had been married for nearly seven years, and it cannot lie paid that their wedded life had been a par ticularly happy one. Xot that they ever came to open dissention or vulsar quarrels, but they seemed to have agreed, to differ on almost every point upon which it was pos sible for man and wife to take opposing tides. The fact was that the marriage was a jiatched-up affair, in which the element ot love was conspicuous by its absence. Mr. Jiywater had a remote chance of succeeding to a baronetcy, and there was a chance that his wife misht be left the heiress of a rich bachelor uncle, with hom she was reported to be au especial favorite. Neither of these possible contingencies came to pass.Mr. Bywater's uncle, the bar onet, look it into his" head to marry, and the birth ol an heir knocked Mr. Bywater's hopes on the head, while Mrs. Bywater's uncle died, leaving the whole of his large property to the founders of a new religion, ttho hail managed to get hold ot the old gentleman during the lat year of his life. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Bywater were de ficient either in money or "connection, but these two failures appeared to na e soured thcni, and embittered them terribly toward each other. Mr. Bywater was a medical jnan, in good practice, therefore he took up with the doctrine of homeopathy. Mrs. By water was fond of theaters, ball and even ing amusements of all kinds, and therefore' her husband suddenly betrayed a strong iiredilection for spending his evenings at lome, insisting, of course, that his wife prefix of 'doctor) had not visited any of his patients, but had jumped into a hansom and told the driver to take him to the Mega therium Club, Pall Mall, where he asked the hall porter if there were any letters for him. Upon this occasion there was only one, a delicate little missive, with an elaborate green and silver mongram, the envelope ad dressed in an unmistakably feminine hand writing. Mr. Bywater thrust it into his pocket, and, walking into St. James Park, selected a seat which had no other occu pant, broke open the envelope, and perused the contents of the missive. A dark frown passed over his face, and for some time he sat pluuged in the most profound meditation. The sudden appear ance of a guardsman in charge of a nurse maid, witli the cliikhen in a pernmbulatsr, and a lubberly-looking boy with a hoop, who were evhlcntij- mucins lor the scat he occu pied, made him vacate it with the utmost celerity, tin listing the letter into his breast pocket as he did tt. Upon his retuR homo, Mr. Bywater dis played the same charming temper, which he had nronilsed to endeavor to exhibit for the future at the compact made during the morning meal, ana his wife, who was all smiles, told him thit she had set her heait upon going to the Polynesian Exhibition. "I know, John, dear," said she, "that you hate going out at night, but if you will let mo go with Jenny to-morrow evening, I will promise to be back in good time." "I will tnke you there to-night, if you like," answered Mr. Bywater, as it he had come to a sudden resolve. "Really one grows quite rusty staying at homo so much, and as 1 don't think I am likely to be sent for, I will Just chance it this evening." "Oh, that will be bonnyl" exclaimed his wile: "and, John, why can't wo dine there? So you know there is only cold meat and salad for dinner, and " "Very well, just as you like, my dear," an swered Mr. Bywater, pleasantly. "Go and get ready at once. I have Just half au fir If mmif'mih THE DETECTIVE SPOKE TO HER. t-liould bear him company, and so on to the end of the chapter. One dav, as thev were seated together at the breakfast table, the morning alter ais Egreement or a more serious nature than usual, Mrs. Bywater suddenly broke the tilence which bad reigned from the com mencement of tiie meal. "Mr. Bvwater," said she. Mr. Bywater was busily engaged in per illing the Daily SigTial. "the broa'd sheet of which entirely concealed his face from view, and paid no attention to his wife's words. "John," aid she, in a higher kev; "Will you listen to me for a few minutes?" Mr. Bywater cave a sudden start, as if his Thoughts had been far away, and laying aside the paper, presented to his wife a face which made her utter a littls shriek of sur prise, and exclaim: "Gracious me, John, what if the matter with you, are you ill?" The wife might well ask the question, for the husband's countenance was perfectly livid, and all the muscles were twitching as if he was enduring great physical or mental agony. "It is nothing," answered he, hoarsely, "only a sharp tinge ot that confounded neuralgia. What do you want to say?" "Do j on not think that we are a pair ot fools to" go on spending all our lives in jangling," aid she, "when by a little mutual yielding we might jog along well enough?" She paused, half expecting a snub in re turn lor the advances for a reconciliation phe had made; but to her surprise alter a fhort pans'", as if he had been considering ., ? ' i l I .1 i:.l. .r .1- ine question, ner uusuauu rcpmrn. i uu 3iot know, but what vou are right, Mattie; at any rate. I am w illing to do mv best, but we have both so got much into the habit of" saying harp tilings to each other, that I am afraid we shall find it somewhat difficult to drop it" His voice quivered a good deal as he spoke, but Mis. Bvwater ascribed this to the emotion her sudden proposal had caused him. "There's a dear," said she, rising from her chair, and kissing him on the forehead, " and now let me ask you if you will be in to lunch?" "Xo," replied Mr. Bywater, "why?" "Because Jenny is coining. I know you dislike her, and to tell yon the truth, I had asked her here to aggravate you," answcied Mrs. Bywater, "but now that we have come to an uuderstandimr she shall not be here half so much, lor I am sure she makes mis chief between us." Jenny was Miss Polton, the elder sister of Mrs. Bywater, now a confirmed old maid, but who, so rumor asserted, had once set her cap at the young doctor, and had never forgiven him for preferring her younger sister. "Xo, I shall be out, thank goodness," re plied her husband. "And now be quiet for a moment as I wish to see if Ultra Moutauos are going up." "What are they, balloons?" asked 3Irs. Bywater, innocently. "Balloons! pshaw," answered her hus band. "Shares in a gold mine, of which I am hall inclined to purchase a few." Alter haiing perused thi paper for some time with considerable attention, Mr. Bywater laid it down, and tts'ling his wi:e he should be back about 4, he lett the house, as was his usual cutjTS. When Jcnuy crivcd, her sister flew to ward her, audat once iulormed ner of the new arrangement between herself aud her husband. "And do you know, my dear," said she, "I am sure that we shall get on all right now, lor all that snapping and snarl ing was wearing out my life completely. But, do you know, I am half afraid that John is not well, lor he looked ghastly this morning, and at first I thought that he had teen something nnpleasant iu the paper, but itwasn't so,for he was only looking to tee it Ultra Montanos were gaing up." "Ultra Montanos?" repeated Miss Pol ton. "Yes, shares in a gold mine," replied her sister, triumphantly. "Why, I thought you dabbled a little in stocks aud shares; but, there, don't worry me about the horrid things. You can take the paper if you like; but come upstairs and see my lovely bonnet, tl.e sweetest thing you ever saw, and cost a mere nothing." The mere nothing was C guineas, and was the cause of the dispute between the hus band and wife the night before. Miss Polton did dabble a little in stocks and shares, nnd as she had never heard of a gold mine named the "Ultra Montanos," the look the newspaper with her when she terminated her visit to see what informa tion she would gain respecting it. Meanwhile Mr. Bywater (he hated the. hour's work to do in the surgery, but I know that vou will not have got jourselt upby that time." Mrs. Bvwater now was on her good be havior, "and when her husband emerged from his dressing loom, whither he had gono after completing his work, he found his wire waiting for him. "Why, vou have made yourself look qnito smart, Jblin," said she. "I am quite piond of my escort. I w omlcr how long my newly lound happiness will last." "As long as your life, I hope," answered Mr Bvwater, gallantly; and then his wife, calling him "an old dear," began to examine him to discern whether his toilet lequired any finishing touches. "tVhv, what 1-ave vou got that ugly black pin in vonr coat for?" said she. Mr. Bywater made a little gesture of an noyance. "Do not touch It, my dear." an swered he. "I have set my heart on having one of those beautiful Polynesian flowers, and the young ladies who sell them never have anything hut tl e usual pin, which looks o had on black cloth, and so I have supplied myself with one of the same hue as the coat itself." "You vain thing!" exclaimed Mrs. By water. "Shall we start now, for I am begin ning to feel quite hungry ?" Mr. Bvwater assented, and, leaving the house, they made their way to the nearest district station. Upon nervorum Home, Miss Polton began to look through the paper to discover what sort ot a position in tbeinaiket the shares of the "Ultra Montauos" held, for though sho now hated her uiothcr-in-law with all the energy of a slighted woman, yet she was not above taking a hint from him. To her ex treme surprise she could find no uch name, nnd thinking that sho must have missed it by some accident, she seal died through all the columns agaiu with the utmost care. She did not find what she wanted, bat she dis covered something else, which mide her utter an exclamation of the utmost surprise. It was simply an announcement in the deaths which had attracted Miss I'olton's attention. "O'l the 17th instant, at'Villa St. Elmo, Cannes, Josiah Bigg, in the CSth year of his age." "No wonder he turned pale when he read this" murmured Miss Polton. "The 17th in stant, moro than a week ago; there is mis chief biewing, or my name is not Mary Polton." There was quite a sensation on the plat form at South Kensington as the train diew up, and a hntle-s and excited gentleman leaped ont of a first-class caniage.and called loudly Tor help. "My wile "is dead, or dy ing!" ciied he. "Will no one help me to get her out of the train?" The porter and station master were at once on the spot, and the unhappy lady was at oneo conveyed upstairs iu a perfectly in sensible condition. A short slight man, whose face would have not been remaikable for the intelligence of its expression had it not been for a pair of keen flashing eyes, had been a passenger in the train, and luul formed one ot the little crowd which had gathered round the carri age door when the announcement of the sad occurrence was made. He appeared to be well known to the railway officers, lor one of them remarked, "Xow, WeTilock, are you going on? the train will be off in another minute." '1 may as well go on," remarked tlio man, addressed as Weulock, "and this compart ment will suit me as well as any other," and, suiting the action to the word, he Jumped into the cairiago from which the insensible form of Alia. By water had just been removed. "Mgiat nerves these private 'tecs' have," obsPved the official, addressing one of his subordinates. "Now, I confess, I shouldn't have cared to travel in that cairiagc, tor the poor lady is evidently as dead a a herring." Wenlock, us soon us the train started, hud commenced to catetully examine the car riage, but lound little to reward his efforts. "Of course," muttered he, "it may be all on the square: but I have got into a habit of looking with suspicion on all mankind, a hasty, uncharitablo habit, Matthew Wen lock, but a piecious sale one lor all that." "Ilullo! what is this?" he added, as he pounced on a small object lying in the cush ion. " 'If you see a pin, and let it lie, You'll want another befoio you die,' as my poor, old mother used say. Now, there may be nothing in this, but it may mean a good deal, though I can't see now it can: At any rate I'll Just put this little me mento ol the tragedy with u piece of paper, and stow it awaviu my pocketbook. Tnen I'll Just get bac to bouth Kensington and And out what I can." Mrs. Bywater was dead beyond all donbt, and the body had been removed to her home to await the inquebt, which would have to decide the cause of her death. At the inquest her husband deposed that on the day oi her death, his wile had ap peared to be in her usual health and spirits, aud had herself proposed the visit to the Polynesian Exhibition. Just before arriv ing at Sloane Squaie, she had complained of Midden faintness, but this he attributed, to the closeness ot the carriage, aud opened the window. While he was doing so the train moved on again, and ho saw that his w ife had tallen forward. It was impossible to stop the train; besides theic would bono means, of getting uuy assistance beloio reaching South Kensington. Dr. Killane, ot Hathoway Terrace, South Kensington, deposed that ho saw the de ceased at the station, and that in his opinion she had died from syncope. . By the coroner to Mr. Bywater: "Had you any idea that deceased was suf fering from weakaotion of the heart?" Witness No, but for some months past she bad had been taking homeopathio remedies, and I noticed a bottle which had contained aconite globules, but nearly empty, which may have tended to affect the heart. Some excltemcnnt was at this moment produced in court by the sister of the de ceased exclaiming that tli witness was a murderer, and that she would provo it; but upon examination by the Coroner, she only mado a rambling statement with regatd to n love affair in which her sister's husband had been concerned previous to his mar riage. Alter an address by tho Coroner, the jury returned a verdict of "death nom natural causes." As Miss Polton was leaving the court, bit terly regretting her indiscreetness in Hav ing so openly shown her hand, sho was touched gently on tho arm, und looking rouud, was confronted by a small slight looking man, who said: "Beg .pardon, miss, but Coroner or no Coroner, you were right; the husband did the tiick sure enough. I can load laces, and that man is guilty." Scenes. Miss Polton had an idea that some trap was being laid for her. "I don't know who you aie," she said, turning awav. "Beg pardon again, miss, it's all on tho squaie, I'm Mat Wenlock, ot the Mandeville Square Mystery, and the Great Gryle Street Conspiracy, but I don't like to Intrude, only you may take your 'davey that he did tho tiick." Miss Tolton had heard of Matthew Wen lock, whose name had achieved so great u celebrity in the tracking down of criminals, and at once saw what a valuable all' he would be. ''Come and talk the matter over at my house," said she. As soon as they w ere in privacy, Matthew begged her to tell him all sue knew, and she narrated the ieconci)iution between ' hus band and wile. "A pietended one on his part," she added, ;for he had Just leceived intelligence which made him more anxious to get nd of the tie by which he was bound." "Why, miss," exclaimed Wenlock, with a groan oi delight, "you are going to give us a motive wliicn was the leal difficult point in the case. Prove that, and we'll put a rope round his neck, as sure as my name is Mat Wenlock." "In the paper in which he pretended he was reading about a mine whicu only exist ed in his imagination," continued the lady, "was the announcement of the death of a certain Jonn Bigg, at Cannes. Befoie the villain mairied my sister be had won the al tections of u young gill ot gieat beauty and large lortune, oue whom he had attenued in his medical capacity. The love affair was discovered and the girl taken away. She af terward marrieu an enormously wealthy man much older than herself, u Mr. Bigg, the announcement of whose death I have just lead. Doubtless John Bywater's old love has been left a very wealthy widow, lie had great influence over her, and it he could only get J ice, lclt suie that she would consent to become his wile." "Ho wouldn't start in a business like that on spec," broke iu Wenlock, "depend on it the lady has written to him, and to his club, oi comae; which is it now?" "The Megatherium," answerod Miss ol ton. "I know, in Pall Mall, I'm off there to make inquiries," exclaimed Wenlock. "And don't you stir trom here, if you please, until VSU U1WICI SCO JJIO VI ,,'' .-.w .-. Miss Polton promised, and M enlock sped away on his mission. Miss Polton awaited his return with the utmost impatience, but it was fully an hour. and-a-hall befpre the detective againput hi an appearance. "Sorry to have kept you waiting, miss," said he, "but I had a little difficulty In mak ing the hall porter talk, a man like that is what the novelists call 'a tomb of secrets,' so yon see pur friend rides rather rough shod over the flunkeys, so they don't like him. Well, to make a long tale short, he did get a letter with a foreign stamp on the very day the event took place, and precious glad 1 should be to get a sight ot that same note. I'm going into the house with Graves, the undertaker's man, und I'll hnve'a good look round. Crimuvils aie sometimes awtul fools, when they think themselves most clever. The envelope had a small monogram on it. in -rreen and" silver. F. B., the porter said, as he thought it was " "It is fiom her," exclaimed Mrs. Polton, "Flo Bigg; oh, my poor sister has been mur dei ed beyond a doubt." It was nearly 8 o'clock before Wenlock again made his appearance at Miss Polton's lesidence, and this time his countenance was lighted up with an air of complete tri umph. "Bo left it in his overcoat pocket, hanging up in the hall," exclaimed he, "just as if it wasn't a compromising document. People ai e asses; the house was all sixes and sevens, and the servants running about, scatteied like rabbits. Here, miss, read it." Miss Polton took the note, which exhaled a delicate pel fume, and read: "DEAr.EST The jailer is dead, and the pris oner free. I have been left everything, and if you have waited for me as you piomised, we can bo wealthy, and consequently happy for the lest of our lives. As soon as I hear fiom you I shall start. lam in u dream of love. Yours ever, F." Sho shall have a rough awaking," said Miss Polton, clenching her teeth. "Is this sufficient to fix It on him, Mr. Wenlock?" "Well, hardly," answered the detective, "it is certainly strong corroborative, evi dence, and shows a motive; still, if it were not for one other little link, he could slip through our fingers." "And w hat is that?" demanded Miss Pol ton, eagerly. In reply, Wenlock handed her a paper signed with the name oi one of the first ana lytical chemists of tho day, to the effect that he had received from Matthew Wenlock a common black pin, that with it he had in flicted a slight puncturo on the nose of a dog, nnd that ten minutes after the cieature had died fiom syncope. The symptoms were those of poisoning by aconitia. "And what is aconitia?" asked Miss Pol ton, with a shudder; "and what has all this to do with my poor sister's death?" "Aconitia!" answered the detective, with the air of a schdblby -who had learned his lesson, "is the iictive principle of aconite. As for tho black pin with which the experi ment was tried, I found it in the compart ment in which your sister was murdered. You see," he added with ghastly simplicity, "the poor thing had absorbed most of the fioison. and so the dog had a longer spell or ife than she. It was the fellow's talk about aconite at the inquest that put me on the right scent." Miss Polton's solicitor a-epresented the mysterious facts in the proper quarter, and a warrant was issued for the arrtst of Mr. Bvwater. He submitted quietly enough, strongly protesting his Innocence, but on the way'to the police station in a cab he suddenly fell forward, and on examination by the doctor it was discovered that life was extinct. "Tnere's Scotland Yard all over," mut tered Wenlock. as he read an account or the occniretice in the newspaper. ',I put it on the light track and they take all the. credit of it, and muddle up the whole affair in the end. Why, the fellow must have had a whole store of those murderous bits of wire, and I'll lay a dollar that if they had looked In the straw at the bottom of the cab they w ould have found a Black Pin."

Nobleatown Producers Seem to Lack Stay ing Qualities Fire No. a Drilling In an Inferior Band, and Looks Like a Failure Another Well on the Mccarty. The reports from the McDonald field yes terday wore rather cheering for the bulls. The production dropped off from 2,900 to 28,000 barrels, notwithstanding that one 20 barrel an hour well was added to the list of big ones. It is Isman & Co.'s No. 1 on the Short 8c Wade lot and was reported in The Dispatch yesterday. Thirty barrels an hour was its estimated capacity, but deeper drilling did not im prove it, and like the other Noblestown fifth sanders, it fell off gradnally to 20 barrels an hour. It seems to have as much oil as any of tho others, but It lacks the gas to bring out the petroleum. They intend to shoot it to-day. Nearlv all of the Noblestown fifth sanders were off yesterday morning. J. M. Guffoy, Russell & McMullen's No. 1 Wcttengel dropped from 40 to SO barrels an hour: Green lee & Forst's No. 1 National Coal Company's No. 1 was down from 40 to 25; their No. 1 Mc Murmy, from 0 to 70; the Lumber Yard Oil Company's No. 1 fell off from 45 to 25. and the Bear Creek Refining Company's. No. 3 Campbell dropped from 45 to 30. The only well scheduled to get the fifth sand yesterday was the New York Oil Com- Sinv No. 2 on tho Fife farm, northwest of oblestown a conplo of miles. It was re ported last evening tp be thiee bits in a very inferior sand, and the chances are it will bo a dry hole, or at most very small. The New'Yoik Oil Company's No. 1 on the Ulrich is still doing 90 barrels a day was the cause of drilling half a dozen wells in this locality. Dry holes have now been drilled all around the original well except on the west and southwest. North of west from it Fitzgibbons & Co. recently finished up a 200 barrel well on the Walker farm, but north west of it Schlegel, Lenz & Co. got a dry hole on the same farm. The Trio OH Company's No. 1 on tho A. Bell farm is due to icacli the fifth sand this morning. It is located east of the Fife No. 1, but between the latter and the Bell w ell is a dry hole on tho Fife which was drilled by Schlegel, Lcnz Co. Millison. Fried & Co.'s No. 2, on the nenry Shatter farm, in the western Dart of the McCurdy field, is show ing lor about 40 bar rels a day. Thoywero21 feet in an excel lent sand last night. It is located 1,800 feet west of their No. 1, on the same farm, which nover made over SO barrels a day and did not tnnkc a barrel until it was shot. Bailey & Roland's No. 1 on the school house lot is down 1,400 feet. The boiler ex ploded yesterday, but fortunately no one was injuied. Brown & Co.'s well, located Just below the school house, was on top of the Gordon sand last night. , Mellon & Wilson's No. 2 on the McCarty farm near Midway was in the Gordon sand yesterday and showing for a good well in that formation. It Is located west of their No. 1 on this tarm, which for months pro duced 90 barrels a day. The McDonald Gauges.
