CHAPTER VI.
Having made up my mind what course
pursue, I returned to Marshruinster,
look leave of my relatives and left that
(veiling for London. There I remained
two days reviewing the strange eveutt)
lu which I had lately been an actor. At
one moment it was in my mind to aban
don what certainly seemed to be a
hopoless search, for I could but see it
-as a matter of great diffloulty to lay
Biy baud ou the assassin of Francis. It
would be better, I thought, to place the
matter in the bauds of the police and
let them thrash it out for themselves.
Two reasons prevented my taking this
Ignoble course.
One was that Francis Brafrfleld had
been a college friend, and I was unwill
ing that his death should go unaveug
ed. The story of his love for Olivia,
whieh he had told me at the inn, con
tained the elements of a strange ro
mance fitly capped by his tragic end. I
felt certain that Felix, through his hired
bravo for I could call Streut by no
other name had eucoinpassod the death
of his brother. Felix was passionately
lu love with Olivia, and the unexpected
return of Francis not only threatened to
take her away from him, but also to re
veal the scoundrelly fashion in which
he had behaved. At one blow Felix
would lose her love and respect. There
fore his motive for averting such a ca
tastrophe was a strong one. That he
herald determine on fratricide was a
terrible thought, but there was no other
course left to him by which to secure
the woman he loved and the respect he
valued. It was the mad action of a
weak, passionate man, such as I know
Felix to be. Too cowardly himself to
strike the fatal blow, he had hired
Etrent to carry out his plans, and the
death had been duly accomplished,
though in what way I was quite unable
to say. 'It was sufficient for me to
know that Francis was dead, and I felt
myself called upon to avenge his death.
The other motive was perhaps the
stronger one of detective fover. I was a
bachelor. I had a good income aud
nothing to do. Therefore this qnest was
one of great interest to me. I had often
hunted beasts, but thin man hunt was a
much more powerful inoentive to ex
citement. I could hardly sleep for think
ing of the case and was constantly en
gagod In piecing together the puzzle.
As yet I had no clear clew to follow,
but tho first thing to be settled was the
identity of Felix at Marshminster with
Felix at Paris. Onco I established that
point and proved conclusively that Fe
lix had never left England, I would be
In a position to prosecute the search in
the neighborhood of Marshminster.
I own that there was an additional
reason in the piquo I felt at tho scornful
disbelief of Olivia. She evidently con
sidered my story pure fiction, and the
strange disappearance of the corpse from
the inn confirmed her in this belief. Ir
ritated by such contempt, I was resolved
to bring home the crime to Felix and
to prove conclusively to her that he was
masquerading as her lover, the dead
Francis. It would be a cruol blow when
assured of tho truth, but it was better
that she should enffor temporary pain
than drag out a lifelong agony chained
to a man whom I knew to be a profli
gate, a liar and a murderer.
At the end of two days I confirmed
myself in the resolution to hunt down
the criminal and decided as the first step
to go to Paris. Leaving Victoria by the
night mail, I arrived in the Frenoh cap
ital next morning. Anxious to lose no
further time, I hastened at once to the
Botel due Etrangora, in the Bue do St.
Honore, and there took up my quarters.
Recovered from the fatigues of tho jour
ney, I partook of luncheon and then
made inquiries about Felix Briarflold.
To my surprise, I not only discovered
that he was in Paris, but that he was
In the hotel at that moment
"Has he been staying here for any
length of time?" I asked the manager.
"For six weeks, monsieur, and now
talks of going to Italy," was the aston
ishing reply.
To say that I was surprised would
give but a faint idea of what I felt.
That the assertion of Olivia should thus
prove true was almost impossible of be
lief. If Felix was hore and had been
bore for the past six weeks, it could
not possibly be he whom I had mot at
Marshminster. Assuming this to be the
case, who was the man of the Fen inn
Who called himself Francis? My head
Was whirling with the endeavor to
rrapple with these thoughts. Suddenly
ta idoa flashed into my brain whiuh
i light possibly account for the mystery.
"Can it be," thought I, "that it was
Felix whom I met at the inn Felix,
who tried to pass himself off as Francis
and then invented that lying story? Per
haps he was not dead, as I thought, but
merely plunged into a trance. When he
revived, seeing the nseiessness of fight
ing with Franois, ho fled book to Paris. "
All this time I stared hard at the
manager. In reality I was puzzling out
the mystery and not paying any atten
tion to the man before me. He, howev
er, grew weary under my regard and
moved uneasily.
"Mr. Briarfleld is now in bis room,
monsieur. Shall I take to him your
card?"
"If you please," I answered meohan
ioally and handed it to him. In a few
moments a waiter oame with a message
stating that Mr. Briarflold would be
glad to see me. I followed the man in
a state of the utmost bewilderment and
found myself in the presence of Felix
before I knew what to say or da He
was so like Franois, whom I thought
was lying dead at the Fen inn so like
the man who passed as Olivia's lover
that for the moment I could do nothing
but stare at him. Yet he oould be
neither of the two, for one was dead,
and the other I had left behind at
Marshminster.
"How are yon, Denham?" he said,
somewhat surprised at my strange con
duct. "And why do yon stare so steadi
ly at me?"

" "Are yon Felix Briarfield?" I gasped.
"As you see," he answered, raising
his eyebrows; "Surely you know me
well enough to dispense with so foolish
a question."
"Aud your brother?"
"Ho is at Marshminster, I believe,
with Miss Bellin, to whom he is engag
ed Why do you ask so strange a ques
tion?" I sat down on the sofa and buriod my
face in my hands. Either I was out of
my mind or the victim of some terrible
hallucination. I certainly had met
Francis at the inn and beheld him dead
uudur its roof. As surely had I seen the
man I believod to be Felix at Marsh
minster. Yet here in Paris I beheld an
Individual who was noither the dead
friend nor the living lover, and he called
himself Felix Briarfield.
"I must bemadl I must be mad!"
was all I could say for the momont.
"What is the matter, Denham?" ask
ed Briarfield, touohiag my shouldor.
"Are you ill?"
For answer I seized first one hand and
then the other. On neither appeared the
least scratch. Yet the man whom I be
lieved to be Franois had a ragged wound
ou the right hand. My theory of a
trance vanished into thin air at this
proof that the men were distinct As
toundod by my action, Folix drew back
in some alarm.
"How strangely you act, Denham!"
he said uneasily. "Is there anything
wrong?"
"Do you think I am mad?" I asked
Irritably.
"Your action just now was scarcely
the act of a sane person. Why did you
examine my hands?"
"To see if they were cut in any way. "
Ho turned the palms of his hands to
ward me and shook his head with a
light laugh.
"You see, "he said, smiling, "they
are absolutely free from cut or wound.
Why do you expect them to be marred?"
I niado no reply, but passed my hand
across my brow. The situation in which
I found myself was so strange and em
barrassing that I did not know how to
proceed. In the presence of facts I could
Sot but admit that my .story would
lound but a wild invention.
"Come, Denham," said Briarfield
"Isicear that the man I met at the Fen
inn was vow brother FrancUt."
soothingly. "You are doubtless in some
trouble and havo come to mo for help
and advice. I'll give both to the best of
my ability. "
I want neitner, 1 muttered in a
low voice, "but if you will answer some
questions I wish to ask you will oblige
me greatly. "
iiriartield drow back with a queer
look in his eyes, as if he thought my
madness was increasing. However, he
overcamo the dread my actions nppar
ently caused him and answered civilly
enough:
"Certainly, if it will do you any good.
What is it you wish to know?"
"Were you in England within the
lost 6evon days?"
"No; I have not been in England for
at least six weeks."
"Do you know tho Fen iun?"
"Never heard of it in all my life. "
"Are yon acquainted with a girl
named Rose Strent?"
"I don't even know her name. "
"When did your brother Francis r&
turn to England from South America?'
' 'Throe months aga "
Have yon seen him since his re
turn?"
"Frequently in London, but ho is
now, I believe, at Marshminster."
"Do you know ho is engaged to Miss
Bellin?"
"Of course I do," said Briarfield.
"Tho marriage takos place shortly, aud
I am to be the best mun that is, if
return in time. " 1
"What do you moan?"
"Well, I'm going to Italy tomorrow,'
said the young man, shrugging his
shoulders, "and it is just possible that
I may prolong my tour to the east. In
that case I may be absent from England
for at least six months or more. During
that time Francis will doubtless marry
Olivia, and I shall not be able to be at
thewodding. "
"You have not been in England with
in the last Bix weeks. You don't know
the Fen inn nor of the existence of
Rose Strent," I summed up. "Then
am the viotira of some extraordinary
hallucination. "
"You are very extraordinary alto
gether," retorted Briarfield. "Now
have answered your questions, pray an
swer mine. Why do yon ask all these
things?"
"It Is a strange story and one which
you will scarcely believe. "
"Let me hear it"
Thus adjured, I told him the story of
my adventure at the inn, but suppressed
all mention of the belief I then enter
tained that the brothers had changed
names. He listened attentively and eyed
me with some oonoern. At the conolu
si on of the narrative he considered for
few moments before making any reply.
"I hardly know what to say," he said
at lengtn. " xonr story n very drown
stantiaL yet yon must have been do
ceived by the chance resemblance. "
"I swear that the man ll met at the
Fen inn was your brother Franois. "
"How can that be when Franois was
at Bellin Hall, and Oliviaj said he had
not been out of the house. I Besides, yon
say the man whom yon Relieved to be
Franois was1 murdered, jot you left
Franrils alive "ana well at Marsnmln
ster." "I thought Francis was you. " -
"Ah I Deceived by our resemblance,
no doubt."
"Yes, I think so," I replied, not
wishing to toll hir. my suspicions.
"Wey, yon see yon made a mistake.
Franois is at Marsluninstor, and I am
hore, I suppose," ho added jokingly.
"You are quite convinced that I am
Felix?"
"I was quite convinced the other
man was Francis."
"Great heavens, man, you surely
don't doubt that Iain Felix Briarfield?"
he cried irritably, rising to his feet.
"I don't! I can't!"
"Perhaps you thought it was I whom
yon met at tho inn?"
"No, beoanso tho man I met at tho
iun is dead. Besides ho had a wonnd
on his right hand, and you havo not. "
It s a queer business altogether,"
said Briarfield, walking to ami fro. "I
annot but agree with your idea 01 hal
lucination. "
"I tell you it is too real for halluci
nation. "
Then how can yon explain it?" ho
demanded sharply, passing beforo mo.
"I can't explain it, ' I replied help
lessly.
If you had discovered the corpse
when you returned to the inn, there
might bo some chanoo of solving the
mystery. But you admit there was no
corpse there. "
"Not the vestige of one. "
"Then that proves the thing to bo
hallucination," he said triumphantly.
If the man was murdorod, who would
tako the trouble to remove tho corpse?"
Strent might have dono so to con
ceal tho evidenco of his crime."
"Ho fled tho previous night by your
own acknowledgment. Tho whole thing
is ridiculous. If I wcro you, Denham,
would see a doctor. That brain of
yours is in a dangerous state. "
"In spite of all you say, I am certain
it was Francis I met at tho inn. "
How can that bo when ho whom
you met is dead and Francis is alive?
It oould not bo Francis, and as I have
not been out of Paris it could not have
been mo. "
'Then who was it?"
'Some stranger, no doubt, in whom
pxi saw a facial resemblance to us."
'Impossible!
'Su I thvaV said Briarfield signifi
cantly. "For my part, I think you aro
subject to dolusions. Do not pursue this
case, my friend, or you may find your
self in a lunatic asylum. "
"Will you come over to Marshmin
ster and help mo to solvo the mystery?"
"Certainly not, Denham. My plans
aro all made for Italy, nnd I go thero
tomorrow. I certainly doiA intend
put them off for such a wild gooso chaso
as you wish me to indulge in.
I took np my hat and prepared to go.
Tho matter was beyond my comprehen
sion. "There is nothing for mo but to re
turn to England."
"Do," said Briarfield in a pitying
tone, "and give up following this will-
the-wisp."
"It seems hopeless enough."
"Well, so far as I can see, it seems
madness nothing more nor less. My
brothor Francis is at Marshminster.
Yon see me hore, so it is absolutely im
possible you could havo met either of
us at that inn, the more so as the man
you met is dei, ana we aro uotn
alive."
"Yes. Facts aro too strong for mo, "
I said, holding out my hand. "Goodby,
Briarfield. Many thanks for your kind
ness; but, oh, man, "I added, with a
burst of bitterness, "what dots it all
mean?"
"It's hallucination," said Briarfield.
"Place yourself at once in the hands of
a doctor. "

Sweet and Sour Apple.
Jnst why some should be sweet and some
sour is a pu.zle. The malic acid which
gives it the sour taste seems to be in about
the same proportion in the unripe as in the
ripe apples; the difference iu Bweetness
seems to arise from the change of feculent
or starchy matter into sugar as the ripen
ing process proceeds. l)ut, though the
chemist can tell us the exact elements
that go to mako sugar, he cannot make
sugar for us. No power but that of tho
living plant can do it, and we are absolute
ly in the dark as to bow the plant gets it
done.

generally attributed to some ono in the
past having split u branch through a bud,
then fitting tho sweet apple half to the half
of the sour apple bud, aud grafting tho
spliced graft. This is regarded as an in
genious afterthought. Those who have
directly gone and repeated the experiment
have had do such result. Thomas Meehan

for the poison of snake bites is a solution
of nitrate of strychnine in 240 parts of

twenty minutes, depending upon the con
dition of tho patient. In 100 cases thus
treated only one failure has occurred. Ex
