THE SCBANTOl. TMBT3JTE TUESDAT MORNING, AUGUST 21, 1S94. THC MYCTFttVcP -r APM ETC. COPYRlQHltP CHAPTER' IIL Alto in tiio iiftenioon I tramped into MarsbminstcT. It was by no niians my flvBt visit to that sleepy provincial town. Under tho shadow of the cathedral tower dwolt relatives with whom I had afore thno spent school and collrgo holidays. Their houso waj tho goal of my pilgrim age, and a weok's rest was to recoup mo for the toils of tho walking tour. Tho tragic occurrence at the Feu inu altured all my plans. With an assassin to bu tracked thero was no time for com fortably idleness. Francis Criarficld had biieii my friend, and I owed it to his memory to uvciigo his death. It was ng my task I liad set myself. 1 recognized that from tho first. la place, therefore, of seeking the cen ter of tho town and my maiden aunt's I tun;t d oil' at tho outskirts and nmde for LVllin Hall. According to tho story of Franei.-!, his brother wait Btuyiug with the UMiii'M, and it was necessary that 1 should t:eo him at oneo about tho matter, lly acquaintance with Mrs. Bel lin and her daughter was confined to casual ennvtr.-ation at crowded "at home:;" during the season. I had hardly the ri.ht to thrust myself on them un united, but my business brooked no delay. Tho sooner Felix knew tho truth tho better it would bo for him. If ho were guilty, I could punish him for his crime by denouncing him at once to the authorities; if innocent, ho need lose no tinio iu hunting down thoso who bad slain his brother. Beside I wished to put Olivia on her guard agaii;st tho man masquerading as Francis Briar field. That I intended to do in any case, whether ho was innocent or gui Ity. Belliu Hall vns a groterquo specimen cf architecture, built by Jeremiah Eol lin, who l ad made his money out of blacking. It was uncommonly liko a factory, but prhapj tho deceased Jere miah liked something to remind him of the origin of his fortune and keep him from thinking his aucistors ea:wo ever with William tho Conqueror, lie mar ried t; daiv;ht"rof a baronet and then took bin departure to the next world, leaving U widow well provided for and his daughter an heiress in her own right. Mrs. Belliu was a pretty woman, with no brains and a gi,,'i4-'.i:ig lauyh. Her daughter had tho beauty of her motiior and tin, brains of her father, so sho was e.l together a charming girl. How sho could tolerate her silly dolly of a mother I conjd never understand. Perhaps iZ years of constant forbearance had inured her to the trial, On aniving at the front door I learned that Mr. Briariluld was within and sent np my card, requesting a private inter view. For the present I did not wish to bco Olivia, as it was ray intention to warn Felix that I was cognizant of his trickery. My theory was proved correct by the following dialogue: ' Myself Is Mr. Briarflold within? Footman Yes, sir. Mr. Francis Briarfield has just returned from town. After which question and answer I was shown into a room. Observe that I had said "Mr. Briarfleld, " and the foot man answered "Mr. Francis Brinrfiold. " Now, as I well know that the man bearing that name was lying dead at the Fen inn, it was oonolusive proof that Felix, to gain the hand of Olivia, was masquerading as his brother. I had just argued tl.'is out to mycomplote satisfac tion when Felix made his appearance. Tho resemblance between the brothers was extraordinary. I had some difficul ty in persuading myself that the man before me was not he whom I had seen dead that morning, tho same pale face, dark hair and jaunty mnstaoho, the samo gestures, tho same gravity of de meanor and actually tho samo tones in tho voice. Thore was not the slightest difference botweou Felix and Francis. Tho ono duplicated the othor. I no longer wondered that Olivia was deceived. Dospite my aequaintanoo with tho brothers, I should have been tricked myself. As it was, I stared open mouth ed at the young man. "This is a ploasant surprise, Den ham," ho said, looking anxiously at me. "I did not know yon were in this part of the world. " "Nor was I until yesterday. I am on a walking tour and last night slept at tho Fen inn." "The Fen inn," ho repeated, with a Blight start. "What took you to that out of the way place?" "I oamo by tho marshes, and as I was belated had to tako the shelter that offored." "But, man alive," said Folix, rais ing his eyobrows, "tho inn is empty I" This timo it was my turn to be as tonished. If Felix thought the inn was empty, why did be appoint it as a meet ing place for his brother? Ho eithor knew too muoh or too little, so it be hooved me to oonduct the conversation with the utmost dexterity. "It was not empty last night at all evonta," I retortod, keeping my eyes fixed on his face. "Indeodl Aro gypsios enoamped hero?" ho said coolly. "Well, not exactly," I answered, emulating his oalm. "It was in charge of a man called Strent and his daugh ter." "This is news to me. I was always under the impression that the Fen inn was quite dosorted. " !'5fou havo not been near it lately?" " "No. Nobody goes near it They say it is haunted." "Pshaw," I answered "angrily, "an old wife's talol And yet, " I added after a moment's thought, "it may well bo haunted after what took place there last night." ' "This begins to grow interesting," taid Felix. "Had you an adventure?" " Yos. I met with your brother. " "Impossible I My brother Felix is in Paris." "I am talking of Franoia " "Francis," ho repeated, with a dis agreeable smile, "Francis? Well Den ham, I am Franoia." "I think you wo waking a mistake, i 1 ib04 BT TMC AJTHOP Briarfield," saidlcoldly. "Yonrbroth er Francis slopt at tse Fon inn last night" "I Clept in this ho i.se." "I quito believe that. But yen aro Folix!" "Oh." said Eri-.rfield, bursting into a harsh laugh, "I see you aro making tho inevitable mistake of mixing mo up with my brother. It is pardonable un der tho circumstances; otherwise I might resent your plain speaking." Tho nsmranee of the man was so com plete that I wondered if ho knew that his secret was safe by the death of his brother. Such knowledge would account for his complacency. Yet it was quito impossible that ho could know of tho death, as he certainly had not boon to tho inn. I knew that from my own knowledge. "If you are Francis," said I slowly, "yuu are engaged to Miss Eullin. " "I am," ho answered haughtily, "but by what r;-l:t you" "Ono moment, Mr. Briarfield. Miss Bell iu gave her lover Francis a p-arl riii'i. I do rut e it on yrr fin"' r. " lo glaii''. .1 f'.v.vn at his hand and grew coi:fiiM::l. "I u t it," 1; . j.:iittertd "I lo: t it some li; e two. " "That is not V: !" "Do you dare t i ' "I (i.-.re iinyti what I know to passing yourself '. in connection with i"i a fr.iud. Yon are off as your brother Francis. "By what riIit do you m; l:o th; mad suHrtioii?" ' "From what Frauds tuld mo last uitilit." "But I tell said savagely. you I am Francis," he "Dua't I know mvown name? "If you are the man you aswrt your self to be, where is the pearl ring?" "I Ut it." "Yui did net. You never had it. I saw it on the tinker of Francis no later than last night. " "I think you aro mad, Dcnhani!" er.id Felix, white with passion, "or else yon must bo talking of Felix, who is in Paris. " "That untruth will not serve," I said coldly. "Felix is before me, and Fran cis is lying do-id ut the Fen inn." "What! Fnuicis dead?" he cried uu guardedly. "Ah, you admit it is Francis?" "No, I don't, " ho rotorted quickly. "I only re-echoed your words. What do ycu mean by Faying such a thing?" For answer I rose from my seat and made for the door. The farce wearied me. "Where aro you going, Deiiham?" he asked, following mo up. "For the police," I answered, facing bini. "Yes, I am determined to find out tho mystery of Francis Briarflold's death. You, his brother, docline to help me, so I shall place the matter in tho hands of the authorities." "Upon my soul, Denharu, "said Fe lix, detaining me, "you are either mad or drunk. I declare most solemnly that I am Francis Briarfield. From this story of yours I should think it was my broth er Felix who is dead, did I not know he is in Paris?" "A flue story, but it does not impose on me," I answered scofflugly. "Listen to mo, -Briarfield. Your brother Francis went out to South America some six months ago. Before he went he was en gaged to Miss Belliu. Tho mother would not hoar of the marriage, tho engagement was kept quiet. You alone know of it and took advantage of such kuowlcdge to suppress tho letters sent to Miss Belliu through you by Francis and represent yourself to Olivia as her lover returned three months before his time. You, I quito believe, are sup posed to be in Paris, bo that you may the moro easily carry out tho gamo. " "This is mero raving." "It is tho truth, and you know it As Miss Bellin did not answer his let ters, Francis thought something was wrong and returned homo. Afraid lest he should And out your plot, yon asked him to meet yon at the Feu inn, and thore either intouded to throw yourself on his mercy or to murder him. " "Murdor him I" ho repeated fiercely. "It is false!" "That will be for the police to deter mina" "But surely, Denham, you don't in tend to inform the police?" "I am going to do bo now. " Felix seized me by the arm and drag god me back to my seat He was now much agitated, but made every effort to restrain his emotion. "Sit down," ho said in a hoarse tone. "You dt me wrong, Denham on my eonl yon do mo wrong'. I was engaged, I am engaged, to Olivia Bellin. Her mother consented to our engagement after I returned to England three months ago, Felix, I believe, is in Paris. I "Sit cfotun," he laid in a hoarse tone. don't know whom you met at the inn last night It was not I it could not have boon Felix. Thero was no appointment between us. I am not masquerading as Frauds bocauso I am Francis." "I don't believo you." "Yon must! I can bring forward Witnesses to prove my identity!" "They may be miBled by the resem blance. Remember, you and Franoia are twu& " "I said before, and 1 say it again, yon are mad!" ho cried, roughly casting mo off. "Whoever heard of an appoint ment being made at a ruined inn? No ono has livod theuj for months. Ask any ono in Marshininster, and thoy will toll you so." . "Stront and his daughter Rose"-1 began, when he cut mo short "Who are they? I never heard of them. They are figments of some dream. You went into that ruinsd inu last night and dreamed all this." "You don't believo my story?" "Not one word, " said Felix coolly, looking me straight in tho face. "Then I don't believe ono word of yours," I cried, jumping np. "Let us place tho matter in the hands of tho authorities aud see who will be beliov ed." "What are you going to say, Den ham?" "Say? That Francis Briarf.eld has died iu tho Feu inn." "You won't believo that I am Fran cis?" ho said, evidently making some re solve. "No. You aro Felix!" "Ono moment," ho said, goiug to tho door. "I shall provo my identity and in a manner that will admit of uo denial " With that he vanished, and I waited to see what further evidenco ho would bring forward to back up his imposture. CHAPTER IV. Thero was no doubt that Felix in tended to continuo passing himself off j as Francis. For how long I was uncer tain; perhaps for the rest of his natural life or until ho mado Olivia his wife. In this latter event he could reveal the fraud with impunity and revert to his own identity. I could not help thinking that ho hail been informed beforehand of tho death of his brother, else ho would not have dared to keep up his impo. turo with a possible revolution to lio.ir at baud. Even assue in. such ignorance, 1 had now told him of t ho death myself and fo r.tret.js-t'iencd Ws position. 1 r'g''t ted that I hud rut been more cautious. ' I was curious to see whom lie vuild bring forward as a witness to his iden tity. Scarcely Olivia, as if sho once had suspicion of tho truth she would never 1 rest until all war cleared up to her satis- ' faction. I hardly thought Felix would run such risk, the more so as his story of losing the pearl ring could not stand u'ainst my assertion that it was on the finger of the dead man. If he still per sisted in declaring himself to be Fran cis, I determined that ho should ride with mo to the Fen inn aud thero see the corpse of tho man whoso name he had so shamelesrly assumed. That would surely settle the matter. j Felix was bolder than. J gavo him credit for, as his witness proved to be none other than Olivia Bellin. She en tered tho room with assumed lightness, but her face was anxious, and she glanc ed every now and then at Felix as though to seek his aid and countenance. Ho, as was natural, wore a haggard ex pression. His nerves were tensioncd up to tho highest pitch, u matter of small wonderment, seeing that his life's hap piness depended upon this interview. "What is this strango story you bring, Mr. Denham?" asked Olivia, greeting mo coldly. In our best days we were never ovorfrieudly. "lias not Mr. Briarfleld told you?" "I have not had tho time, "inter posed Felix quickly. "Beyond a few hints of the truth she knows nothing." "Not even that you aro Felix Briar field?" "Felix?" repoatcd Miss Bellin in sur prise. "But you are making a mistake, Mr. Denham. This is Francis. " "So ho says. " "You see, Olivia, "said Briarfield, addressing Miss Bellin, "Denham in sists upon taking mo for my brother F e lix." "How absurd! I assuro you, Mrs Denham, that Felix is in Paris. I re ceived a letter from him only this morn ing." "Impossible," said I, taken aback by the authority of her touo. "It is quito true, " sho continued hur riedly. "Excuse me for a moment, and I shall fotch tho letter. You must bo lieve the evidence of your own eyes. " When she left the room, Felix turned toward me with a gleam of triumph in his eyes. "Aro you convinced?" ho asked mock ingly. , "No. I am puzzled." "Iu what way?" "To think how you managed to get that letter sent on from Paris without being thero yoursolf. " "Against stupidity tho gods them selves fight in vain, " quot li Felix, shrug ging his shoulders. "I assure yon that my brother Felix is in Paris. Miss Bel lin is about to produce a lotter received from him only this morning, and yet you insist that I am not myself and that he whom I protend to be is dead. You aro mad. " "Hero is tho letter," said Miss Bel liu, entering at this moment "You see, it bears tho date of yesterday. Ho is at present staying at tho Hotel des Etraii gors, Rue do St. Honore, but talks of going to Italy. "... I examined tho letter closely. It was gonuino ouongh. Of that thore was no doubt, as it bore tho Frenoh and Eng lish postmarks. I quite believed that it was written by Felix, but also that it had been forwarded from Paris by an emissary of the young man iu order to keop np the needful deception. Cortain ly Felix had a marked talent for in trigue. "If Felix Briarflold is in Paris," said L handing back the lotter to Olivia, "who was it I met at the Fen inn last night?" "The Fen inn?" replied Olivia, with For Severe, Lingorine Coughs, Weak Lungs, Bleeding from Lungs, Bronchitis, Asthma, and Consumption, in its early stages, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery is a sovereign remedy. It not only cures the cough but also builds up the strength and flush of those reduced below a healthy Btandard by " Wasting Diseases." Will not make fat folks more corpulent B. V. Wiur, of Hot Elder, Convent Co., Wyo., writes i "I hud bronchitis for twenty yeurs and over, and I could not work with out coughing so hard us to take all my strength away. I took five bot tles of lr. Pierre's Golden Medical Dl8Cv ery, and give you my word ana honor that I can do any work that thro Is to do on my 'much ' without cough ing. I have not UUea anv o." the 'Golden Medical Discovery ' tut Ma. WlLIT. a year." I ft a puzzlod look. "Why, no one lives mere now, Mr. Denham. It is in ruins and has been empty for over two years. " "Nevertheless it was tenanted last night, and I slept tVero; also I met Francis Briarflold at tho same place. " "Francis was not out of the house last night," declared Olivia decisively. "Ojuite true," he repliod. "I went to bod early with a bad headache." "It was not you I met at the inn last night, but your brother Francis." "How eun you persist in ho foolish a story?" said Olivia angrily. "This is Francis, and Felix is iu Paris. ' You could not have met either of thom at tho Fen inn last night, nnd indeed I can't believe that you slept thero at all. " "1 did, Miss Bellin, aud there I met Francis." "If you did, where is ho now? Why not clear up tho mystery by bringing him hero with you?" "Because he is dead. " "Dead!" she echoed, catching the arm of Franois. "Dead! Who is dead?" "Francis Briarfield." "Ho is mad," sho said to Felix in a low tone, her faco white with fear. "Upon my word, I am beginning to think so myself," I said, losing my temper, "but I dcclaro on my oath that I speak the truth. Thero is only one way of solving tho riddlo. Como out with mo to tho Fen inn and look on tho faco of tho dead man I say is Francis Briar field. A single glanco will givo tho lie to tho assertion of this mau who pre tends to bo your lover!" Felix looked at Olivia, t'ho at him. It seemed to me that they grew a shade paler. I wondered whether any guilty bond existed between them, as certain ly they seemed to understand ono an other very well. Olivia appeared anx ious to protect Felix from harm. Either she really believed him to bo Francis or had taken her In ail Lo:ii onebiollu r and pveu it to the other. It was she who spoke first, and throughout tho in terview the woman played a more c!ar in pamo than did the man. Her atti tude puzzlod me, ami for tiio moment 1 was quite in tho dark a3 to what were her real thoughts regarding my story and that of tiio pseudo Franois. "We cannot go tonight," she said, with some hesitation, "but tomorrow morning, if you like, wewillrido out to the inn. " 1 glanced at my watch. ' "It is now 5 o'clock, " said I, "and will bo light up to 9 or thereabout. There is plenty of time for us to rido to tho Fen inn, aud I think it advisable to do so at once. " "Why not tomorrow morning?" ob jected Felix. "Great heavens, Briarfleld, have you no natural affection? Don't I tell you that your brother is lying dead there? Can't you understand tho necessity of attending to so serious a matter without delay? If you havo no affection, you might at least have decency." "I decline to believo that my brother is dead, " said Briarfield coolly. "That letter shown to you by Olivia proves that ho was in Paris yesterday. Ho could not havo come over so quickly, and besides wonld have no reason to go to the Fen inn." "Of course if you insist upon assum ing your brother's name I can say noth ing, but I know tho truth nnd had it from the lips of Francis." "What do yon mean?" asked Olivia. "I mean that Francis returned from Chile a few days ago and went to the Fen inn by appointment in order to hear tho explanation of "What explanation?" "Tho reason of Felix passing himself off as Francis." "Yon aro utterly mistaken, Mr. Den ham. I swear that this is Francis, the man to whom I am engaged. " "Can you wish for stronger proof?" asked Felix, with the marked intention of insulting me. I paid no attention to his sneer, but turned round to Miss Belliu and asked a pertinent question. "Where is tho pearl ring you gavo Francis, Miss EjIHu?" "The pearl ring?" she said, much ag itated. "Yes, I did give Franois a pearl ring, but ho lost it. Did you not lose it, Francis?" she added, turning toward her lover: "Two months ago." "Well, Miss Bellin," said I deliber ately, "if you come out with mo to tho Feu inn, I will show you the pearl ring ou the (ingcr of tho dead man." "It cannot be it is impossible," sho murmured, clasping her hands together in great distress. "I am utterly bewil dered by your talk. Francis returned from Chilo tlirie months ago, and my mother consented to our engagement " "It was not FrancisWho returned," I asserted doggedly, "but Folix Felix, who pretends to be in Paris. " "lint this letter?" "Bah I That was written hereby Bri arflold and forwarded to a friend in Paris, to bo posted back to you. " "Liar!" cried Felix, dashing forward with clinched fists. "If you don't re' tract that statement, I'll" "For pity's sake, be quiet" entreated Olivia, throwing herself between us. "Do not bring my mother here. Fran cis, you do not know tho harm you aro doing. Mr. Denham," sho added, turn ing to mo as ho suddenly stepped back, "do you say this gentleman is Felix?" "I do most decidedly." "I tell you, sir, it is not so. This is my affianced lovor, Francis. Great heaV' ens, could a woman make a mistake in so serious a matter?" "I believe the rosomblance between tho brothers would deoeive any one. " "Let us scttlo the question by going to the Fen inn," said Felix sharply. "I'll wager that thero we find neither landlord nor any one. " "You don't believe mo?" said I quickly. "I do not, sir. I believe you have dreamed all this rubbish. I am here I, Frauds Briarfield. Felix, my brother, is in Paris, and as to your cock and bull story of a murder at the Fen inn I don't believo a word of it " "Very well, Briarflold," I said, pick ing up my hat "You have chosen your course. I will now ohoose niino. Hither to I have kopt the affair quiet for your sake and for that of Miss Bellin. Now I will place the matter in the hands of the authorities and wash my hands of tho whole affair." "Do what you think fit," retorted Briarfield fiercely and turned his back on me. Stung by his contemptuous man nor, I walked smartly toward the door, but was stopped ou the threshold by Miss Belliu. "It is no use, your going to bco the Dolice. Mr. Denham. she said anxious ly. "I assnre it will ouly get you into trouble. Your story is too wild to be liove, They will Bay you are tua& " "111 take the risk of that I am not yet so mad as not to believe the evi dence of my own eyes. Lot me pass, Miss Bellin." ''Stayl" sho said in a peremptory tone. "Lot me speak a moment with Francis. " I bowed my head in token of acquies cence, and sho glided back to where Fe lix was looking out of tho window. For a few minutes they spoke together in low, hurried voices. She Boomed to be Brat For a few vtlnules they tpoke tutjether in ww, nurriea rotccs. entreating and he refusing. At lougth ho evidently yielded to her prayers, fot ho sank into a chair with a gesturo ot despair, and sho returned to my side, j "I don't wish you to get into trouble, Mr. Denham," sho said coldly, "nor dc I wish yon to use my name, as you as-1 snredly will do in making your rep-rt 1 to tho police. I believo this story of yours to bo a hallucination, and in or der to convince you of it am willing to rido out to the Fen inn tomorrow with you aud Francis. When we arrive there, : I assure you wo shall see nothing. "I am certain you'll see more than you bargain for," said I dryly. "I would rather yon went thero tonight." "I cannot. My mother would not al low mo to go. Be a littlo considerate, Mr. Denham." I saw tho justico of this reasouiug and forboro to press tho point. Alter all, so long as they went the timo did not much matter. "Then let it be tomorrow morning," I said coldly, "at 10 o'clock. I will be at your park gates. If you and Briar field are not there. I go at once to tho polico office and gi-ro information con cerning tho murder of Francis. " to be continued.
