(CHAPTER V.
After that moiueutons interview I
presuuttxl mywilf to my ustouiehed rela
tives. Tlitst w ere two lovable old maids,
sinters of my mother, who hud passed
the beat purt of their existence in the
Cathedral square of Marshminiter. They
knew everybody iuj ' I about everybody
and potterod t ft life with the ai
Bietauce of a coiuiOituie income whioh
they shored in common, a trifle of gos
sip and a serieH of afternoon teas. At
the daily services of the cuthedral they
were always to be seen and were inti
mately acquainted with the dean and
chapti-r. Even the bishop condescended
to take tea with them on occaaions, and
they held their hoods high in conse
quence. Moreover, they loved me great
ly, though was but a graceless nephew
to the good souls.
When I made my appearance, the
Misses Durrant received me with open
arms. They bad Hot expected me till
much later in the mouth, but had al

moal. Whui 1 w.tsliul iul clothed my
self anew, 1 made uu excellent meal,
for the long tramp from the Fen inn
made me hungry. I then sat down for a
chat and a smoke.
"1 think he may, Jane," hinted So
phia gently.
"If he sits near the open window,
Bophia, " was the firm reply, whereupon,
this little comedy having boon gone
through, ni usual, I produced my pipe
and took my appointed station. Thus
settled, I made inquiries about Bellin
Hall and its inmates.
"I see you have the London beauty
down here, aunt. "
. "Olivia Bellin," said they both in a
breath and thon sighed.
"Is thore anything to mourn about,
Aunt Jane?" I asked, pricking up my
ears for useful information which I
knew these gossips could supply.
"Ah," sighed Aunt Jane, folding her
withered hands, "who knows the wick
edness of the heart?"
"Olivia's heart."
"Dear me, no, Lionel," said Aunt
Sophia scandalized. "She is a good girl
-as good as she is lovely and not so
silly as her mother," conoluded the old
lady, with fominine spite.
"Then to whose heart do you allude?"
This question started a duet between
the two old ladies.
"Eraucis Driarfiold! You remember,
Jane?"
"Yes, Sophia. That hussy with the
feather boa"
"Was seen speaking to him in the
cathedral by Bishop Jevon's tomb."
"And he seemed very intimate with
her." "
"Still, Jane, he was glad when she
left Marshminster."
"Rather relieved, I think, Sophia."
"And poor Olivia Bellin knew noth
ing about his wickedness," they con
cluded together.
My heart beat rapidly. In this idle
talk I saw a link which would bind Fe
lix Briarficld to the girl at the Fen inn.
"Was she a pretty girl?" I asked with
well simulated carelessness."
"Handsome is as handsome does,"
snorted Aunt Jane, who was remarka
bly plain herselt
"Sure, sister, she was not ill look
ing," said the gentler Sophia, who had
been a toast in her youth. "She had a
good figure and dark hair and eyes. I
admired her complexion, Jane. It was
like cream and a dimplo here, " finished
Sophia, touching her chin. "A pretty,
pretty dimple."
"Sophial"
"Well, it was a pretty dimple, Jane.
No one can deny that "
In this description I espied Rose
Stront, especially as regards the dimple.
I had noticed it myself. Evidently there
was an nnderstauding between this wo
man and Felix which had led her to
taking up her quarters in the Fen inn
with her father, if indeed the landlord
was her father a fact I was beginning
to doubt I set the garrulous ladies off
on another tack.
"Do you know anything about the
Fen inn, Aunt June?"
"The lone inn, child? Never name
ltt In my youth it was the scene of a
terrible murder, and since that time
no one has lived in it save one man. "
"It is now in ruins," said Sophia,
with bated breath, "and is said to be
haunted."
"Does any one go near it?"
"Ko one. I don't think there is a
man in the country who would venture
near the lone inn after dark. Two years
ago a stranger refurnished and repaired
It, but he did not stay longer than a
week."
"What became of him?"
"He disappeared," said Aunt Sophia,
nodding her hoad solemnly, "vanished
altogether. It was supposed that he
was drowned in the marches. The house
is still furnished, I believe, but no one
goes near it. "
"What about the landlord?"
"It's in chancery, " said Aunt Jane
wisely. "It has no landlord. "
After this discussion I went to bed
with plenty to think about I saw well
enough that Strent and his daughter
had token np their abodo in the ruined
house for a certain purpose. That pur
pose was, I verily bolieved, to encompass
the death of Francis Briarficld, and now
that it was accomplished they disap
peared. As Aunt Sophia said, the fur
niture of the former proprietor was still
there, so a touoh or two had rendered
the house habitable. This accounted for
their unwillingness to receive me as a
guest and for the mildewed aspect of
the rooms whioh bad struck me so forci
bly. A second tragedy had accentuated
the evil reputation of the house. But,
while the first tragedy was known to
all, the second was known only to my
self and toFelix Briarfield.
I felt certain that he was connected
k 1 II mil

In some way with the unexpected death
of bis brother. Francis had been lnred '
to that lonely inn for the purpose of be-;
ing murdered, and the crime had been I
noouipliEhed by Street and his daugh
ter. So far as I knew, Felix had not been
near the houne on the night in question,
yet he was without donbt morally guilty
of the urirae. Olivia, belioving him to j
be her lover Francis, did not place much j
faith in my story, but surely, when she
was convinced by the sight of the dead
body and I had torn the mask from the
face of Felix, she would let me deal
with him as he deserved. '
Next morning I was up betimes, and
telling my aunts I would not be back
till late went round to the sole livery sta
bles possessed by Marshminster. These
were kept by Bob Fnndy, a bow legged
little man, who had been a jockey in
his youthful days and who was a great
friend of mine. Ho expressed great joy
at my reaipeiraiice in Marshminster
and mounted me ou the best of his
steeds. I w. ( i too I Mit a hurry to ex-chfKKi-

At 10 uV I v, uj fit the park gates,
but Fulls i.i.U Olivia hud not yet put in
an appearance. I intended to denounce
Felix as a murderer in the prteenoe of
his brother's dead body and to tell Mies
Bellin of his friendship with Rose
St rent. Jealousy, if nothing else, might
make her guess the truth and prevent
Felix carrying on the shameless impos
ture in which he now indulged so inso
lently. Once I proved the identity of
the dead man by means of the poorl
ring, which Olivia would recognize, I
hopod to make s ort work of tho preten
sions of Felix. It was a difficult task,
but I was now sciaed with what is
known as detective fover and determin
ed to run the assaxsin to earth. His
name, I firmly believed, was Edward
Strent and that Felix was an accom
plica It was questionable whether Rose
Btrent had taken any active part in the
commission of the crime.
In a few minutes I saw them riding

some couple, and I sighed to think how
the outward appearance of Felix bolied
his foul pirit Olivia looked remarka
bly beautiful and managed her horse to
perfection As they drew near I noticed
their haggard looks, as though they had
passed the night without sleep, and
again the thought flashed through my
mind that there might be an understand
hit; between them.
But, however mnuh Olivia knew, I
felt sure sho was Ignorant that Francis
had been done to death by bis brother,
else even she would have recoiled from
so base a scoundrel.
"Here we are, you see," said Felix
defiantly as I raisod my hat to Miss
Bellin, "quite ready to set out on this
wild goose obese."
"I am afraid you will find it more se
rious than you think, Briarfield."
"At all evonts, we won't find that
body you speik of, "
"I am oorUin yon will, Mr. Felix Bri
arfield." "You still insist that Francis is Fe
lix?" said Olivia as we rode on together.
"I am absolutely certain of it "
"What about this?" interposed Felix
reining up lis horse and handing in a
telegram. "Oliviareceiveditthis mo. ..
lug."
I glanced at the telegram. It
from Felix in Paris to Olivia at .
minster and stated that he was goi.ig
to Italy in a few days, but hoped to re
turn for the wedding. I handed it back
without remark, but it struck mo as
strango that such matter should have
been sent by wire instead of by post.
The telegram, to my mind, was another
move in the game Felix was playing so
boldly. ,
"Well, Denham," he said, restoring
it to his pocket, "you see by that tele
gram that Felix is in Paris, and, if so, I
must be Francis. "
"In that case," said I, looking at him
keenly, "who is the dead man at the
Fen inn." . .
"There is none there, " he answered
jestingly, yet with a lurking anxiety
which I was quick to note. "I have n)
third brother. We are twins, not trip
lets." I vouchsafed no reply to this witti
cism, which I judged to be in bad taste,
but rode on rapidly. By this time we
had left the town far behind and were
some way on the winding road whioh
crossed tho marshes. Miss Bellin evi
dently did not desire to talk, for she
pushed forward well in front nd M
Felix also relapsed into silence we rode
on smartly without uttering a word. A
more dismal riding party I never saw.
The keen wind brought a touch of oolor
Into the pale cheeks of Olivia, but she
had dark olroles under her eyes and
looked considerably worried. Felix rode
by her side anil addressed her every now
and then," but I was too far in the rear
to know what they said. I felt anything
but comfortable while in their oomna-
ily, as they regarded me with great dis
favor. "Never mind," I thought, touching
my horse with the whip. "Once I bring
Felix face to faee with his dead brother,
and he will be forced to abandon these
airs. At whatever cost, I must tear the
mask off him, if only for the sako of that
poor girl, who believes so firmly in suoh
a villain." There was no change in
the appearance of the Fen inn as we
rode up to it save that it looked more
ruinous than ever. The solitary build
ing bad a sinister aspect, and even in
the bright sunshine hinted at secret
murder. I noticed how thick grew the
grass around the house, thereby marking
more strongly its desertion and desola
tion. Sure enough, it bad not been in
habited for a considerable period, and
this foot alone roused my suspicions as
to the motives of Strent and his daugh
ter. They could have no good design in
staying in so haggard dwelling.
"You see, the inn is a ruin," said
Olivia, pointing toward it with her rid
ing whip. "No one could find shelter
there even for one night"
"I did, Miss Bellin."
"It was a dream, " she answered "an
idle dream. You may have slept there,
bnt yon never met Francis within its
walls."
"We are on a fool's errand, "said Fe
lix derisively. "I thought so all along. "
"Come and see," I said, dismounting
at the door of the Inn. "He laughs best
who laughs last"
It seemed to me that Olivia made as
though to turn her horse's head away
ttpm the house, but by this time tho
hand of Felix was already on the bridlo
rein, and h suppressed the momentary
inclination to tee. The action revived
my suspicion With a half sigh she
dismounted with the aid of Felix, and
we entered e house.
All was as I had left it The blinds
worn d iwn, tho room mildewed onddw
olato, the fireplace filled with heaps of
gray ashos. Olivia drew her riding
skirts closely round her and shuddered.
I led up stairs to the room of Francis.
Here the door hud fallen down, and we
walked on it into the room. To my sur
prise, the bed was empty.
"Well, Denhum," said Felix after a
pause, "where is the dead body to whom
you have given my name?"
"Someone has been here and taken it
away."
"I don't think so. Tho absence of the
body only proves the truth of what I
said from the first You dreamed your
adventure."
Before I could reply Olivia burst into
hysterical tears. Tho strain on her
nerves was very great and now that tho
olimax was reached she broke down ut
terly. Felix took her in his arms and
soothed her as he best could, while I,
utterly bewildered by the turn events
had taken, carefully searched the room.
All was in vain. I could find neither
body nor clothes nor aught pertaining
to Francis Briarfield. I began to think
to myself that I must be dreaming. But
that was out of the question. The only
conclusion I could come to was that
Strent had watched me leave the house
and then returned to moke away with
the body. Without doubt it was Strent
who had slain my unfortunate friend
and now had hidden the corpse in some
quaking bog.
When Olivia broke down, Felix led
her from the room, and I went to the
front door, there to find them mounted
on their horses.
"We ore going back to Marshmin
ster, " said Felix, gathering up his reins.
"Thanks to this wild goose chase, Miss
Bellin is quite ilL I trust now, sir, that
you are convinced. "
"I am not convinced that you are
Francis," I answered doggedly.
"You still think I am Felix?" he
asked, with a sneer.
"I do, notwithstanding tho disappear
ance of the body, which hus been made
away with by Strent I firmly believe
that Francis is dead and that you are
Felix Briarfield."
"As we have seen nothing, Mr. Den
ham," said Miss Bellin coldly, "I must
decline to believe your statement This
gentleman is Franois, and Felix is in
Paris."
' 'Very good, " said I quietly. "Then
I leave for Paris tomorrow."
"For what reason?"
"I go to seek Felix. You say he is in
Paris. I say he is now before me on that
horse. You came to the Fen inn and
found nobody, Miss Bellin. I go to
Paris to the Hotel des Strangers and
I'll wagur that I shall find no Felix."
They looked at one another in silence
for a few moments. My remark evi
dently soared them.
"Are you going to put this matter in
the hands of the polioo?" asked Felix,
' 'It is useless to do so now, as the
body of your brother has disappeared. I
shall go to Paris, and if I do not find
Felix there"
"Well?" she sid, seeing I hesitated.
"I will tell the polioo all and have
this ueiglibnr'ioo.'! searched," I said,
concluding my A.ntcuce.
Olivia lsiusthod scornfully and rode
away, while Felix, preparing to follow,
utterf d a last word:
"Consult a doctor, Denham, at once.
Yon are mad or subject to hallucina
tions. "
And with that he set off at a smart
trot and I was left alone at the door of
the inu.
Aft-.r ts erfrordin:ry experiences 1
had undergone I began to think there
migb' bo something in whut he said.
Neveiiheloss I determiuod for my own
satisfaction to go to Paris and see if Fe
lix Briarfield wus at the Hotel dos St
rangers. If be were not, tl: t my sus
picious might prove to be correct, but
if he were then I might believe that
my adventure nt the inu was a dream.
