CITAPTER XIV.
Wo vero 110 nearer the truth than
fceforo. Roso Gernon had told us notk
iu; now, comparatively raking. Ccr
taiuly sho dechirud herself to bo iuno
oent of tho rriuiH nurl . accused Btrent,
but if we found Streut he might dcclnro
himself innocent and anr-use her. One
or, tho other of them must necessarily
bo guilty, as thoy nhmo had seen Felix
on that; fatal nifjit. Roso was being
closely watched by a detective, so that
wo could obtain her evidence at any mo
ment. It now rwnainod for ns to rind
Strait and boar his ptory. Francis be
lieved Strent had killed his brother. I
had my donbts, a I could sco no motivo
for his committing tho crime, where
as Roso, iu a fit , of blind imer, might
have done so. Merrick's thoory as to her
guilt was more in accordance with my
belief.
Hitherto wo kept tho case from being
meddled with by tho police, but now
they began to handle tho matter. In
formed by Francis as to the wherea
bouts of tho body, they dragged the
pool near tho Fen inn and recovered
tho corpse of the unhappy young man.
Then the inspector wroto a peremptory
letter to Francis, requesting him to
como down tmd attend tho inquest.
Thcro was a note of suspicion in tho
letter, and Francis could not very well
help .obeying tho snunnons.
Hti requested me to como with him,
which I had every intention of doing.
Wo-settled the time of our departure
Mid before going saw Olivia and Dr.
Merrick. Mrs. Bellin had not been in
formed of the death of Felix, nor did
ehe suspect that anything wrong was
(join? on under her very noso. Thanks
to tho wonderful resemblance between
tns twins, she accepted Felix as Francis
nnd Francis as himself without the
slightest suspicion. At first she had ob
jected to the engagement, but afterward,
learning that Brairfiuld possessed a good
income, consented. To be sure, she would
have been better pleased had Olivia
married a title, but as her daughter de
clared she would marry no one but
Francis Mrs. Bellin gave way with a
good grace.
As to Olivia, she was terribly dismay
ed when she heard Francis was going to
Marshminster, and sho dreaded lest ho
. should be accused of his brother's mur
der. The actions of Francis had been
go very peculiar that I was afraid to tell
them to the inspector lest he should
think the young man guilty. At tho
eamo time it was impossible to keep
them secret, as Francis had thrown the
body of his brother into the pool and
would havo to explain to the inspector
how it got there. Our only chance of
proving him to bo innocent lay in find
ing Strent, and whero he was to be dis
covered nono of us knew. Merrick's
clover brain discovered a clew to the
destination of tho fugitive.
, "Did yon rido to the Fen inn from,
Marshniiunter?" he asked Francis. j
"No. Had I come by train to Marsh-.
niiusitcr I would have gone to Bellin
Hall, where my brother was staying,
find seen him before Olivia. "
"It's a pity you did not go there," i
said Merrick thoughtfully. "All this
trouble might have then been avoided. !
Well, how did you get to tho Fen inn?"
"I took the train from London to
Btarby, hired a horse there and rodo to ':
Hie Fon ian."
' . "How far is it from Starby to the
Fen inn?"
"About 13 miles."
"And from tho Fen inn to Marshrnin
Bter?" "Ten miles."
"Much about a muchnoss, " said Mer
rick. "Did you tell Strent you had rid
deu from Btarby?"
"Yos. I had no reason to conceal my
' movements. "
"Quite so. ' Well, according to Rose
Gcrniiii, it was your horso Strent took
to escape?"
"It was. I wonder he did not take
tho horse of Felix."
"For a very simple reason. Ho knew
when tho alarm was given that you
and Denham would go to Marshmiu
eter. Therefore, to hide his trail the
better, he went back with your horse to
Btarby." . '
"Do you think so?"
"I am sure of it. Go to the livery
stable at Starby where you hired your
horse, and I am certain you will find
it tlieTe, restored by Strent."
"Well," said I, in nowise satisfied,
"supposo wo trace him to Btarby. That
will bo of no use. No doubt he took the
train thoro for London. "
' "Very probably," said Merrick cool
ly, "aiid waited there for Koso Ger
iion." "But she has not seen him since he
fled from the inn. "
"So sho says, but it is not true, for
all that When ho killed Felix, and
the evidence seems to point to him as
tho lnnrdereT, he told Rose to take tho
gig and go to .Marelimiiister. Then he
rodo off to Starby and rejoined her in
London. '
"But why should sho conceal his
movements?"
' 'Bocauso ho knows too much about
tho crinio," said Merrick decisively.
"Either she did it herself and. is afraid
of Lis speaking, or he did it, and she
wishes to screen him. "
. ."Why should she wish to scrocn a
man who killeu her lover?"
"I can't answi : all questions," said
Merrick irritably, finding himself at a
luss. "All tins is pure theory, but I
think it is so. I am certain there is an
understanding between Rose and Strent
If that detective watching Rose only
know Strent, I am certain ho would
oatoh him paying her a visit " - .
"Why not give the detective a pic
ture of tl man?" suggested Francis.
"Why not indeed?" I retorted deri
lively. "Because we haven't got a pic
ture.1 "I have one at my rooms, ". said Fran
Bis. "Where did you get it?"
'I drew it wbi.lo waiting for Felix at

have some skill in catching expressions
and watching faces. Tho follow struck
mo as such a smug sconndrol that I
penciled a caricature of him whilo he
moved about tho dining room. It is not
a photograph certainly. Still I think it
is sufficiently like him. "
"Capital, " said tho doctor, rubbing
his hands. "It's a good thing yon em
ployed your leisure in that way, Mr.
Briarfield. It may do yon a great serv
ice. "
"You think I am in danger?"
"I think you stand in uperilous posi
tion," replied the doctor gravely. "Your
very efforts to preserve your secret and
bafllo Denham will score against you
with tho police, Aud you must tell
them all, seeing yon know where the
body was to lie found. ' '
"I'll toll them all and do tho best
lean," said Francis, turning pale,
"but Roso can prove I was never out of
my room."
"No, she can't. Roso went to bed,
and for aught she knows you might
have come down and quarreled with
your brother afterward. Your only
chance, Mr. Briarfield, of proving your
innocence is to find Strent If you give
that portrait to the detective watching
Rose Gernon, I believe you'll lay hands
on him, but it's a mere chance. "
"There is another means of identifi
cation, " said L "Strent is lamo, so if
a lamo man calls on Miss Gernon my
detective, aided by tho picture, will
know it, is Strent."
"Well, go and try my plan," said
Merrick, shaking Francis by the hand.
"I hopo for your sake, Mr. Briarfield,
it will be successful. "
When wo left the doctor, Francis
looked pale and upset. He was just be
ginning to realize the predicament in
which ho stood. I was afraid myself
that when all was known he would be
arrested. His own actions looked black,
though I knew they were done out of
pure foolishness. Had he only trusted
me at tho time, all tho trouble would
have been averted As it was, I dotcr
mined to stand by him to tho ond.
"Cheer up, Briarllold, " said I, clap
ping him on his back. "If Merrick and
I solved so much of tho mystery, you
may be snre wo 11 find out the rest
"It's the newpauers I'm thinking
of," he said ruefully. "If all this
foolishness gets into tho press, Mrs,
Bellin will never let me marry Olivia."
"I don't think Mrs. Bellin will have
much say in the matter," I answer
ed dryly. "Olivia is not the kind of
woman to givo up her lover so easily,
particularly when she knows the truth.
She'll stick to you, as I intend to da

quest 1b at Marshmiuster, whioh only
possesses a weekly papor. I know tho
editor and can keep all details out of it.
Cheer up. "
"Thank you, Denham," said the
poor fellow gratefully. "You aro the
best friend I hava"
"Faith, you didn't think 80 at Paris,
Briarfield. I've no doubt that there you
cursed mo by all your gods for a med
dlesome fool.
At this he laughed and began to pick
up his spirits. We saw tho detective
who was wutching Roso Gernon and
gave him the picture drawn by Fran,
cis, with a full description of the man
he wanted. Esiiecially did we lay
stress on tho lameness, and in the end
our detective promised that ho would
nail any man answering to our descrip
tion. I Rave him my address at Marsh-
minster and told him to wire whou he
found oat tho whereabouts of Strent.
also told him to wire to Merrick, as
the doctor was anxious to know if his
theory would prove correct
Next day we went down to Marsh
minster. By permission Francis staid
with me at Aunt Jane's house, and
learning that he was in tronblo the two
old ladies mado much of him. We saw
tho inspector of police, who was a
friend of mine, and learned that the
body of Felix Briarfield was at tho
morgue of Marshminster The inquest

was to bo held next morning, and all
arrangements had teen mado. When
tho inspector had supplied us with this
information, we sat down and told him
the wholo story as has been here set
forth. Ho listened with much astonish
ment and expressed himself to that end.
"I never read a novel to touch this,'
he said, staring at Franois. "Truth is
stranger than fiction, after alL You
greatly resemble your unhappy brother,
Air. Briarfield." .
"Is tho body much decomposed?" ask
ed I, seeing that Francis remained si
lent
"It's recognizable only," replied the
inspector. "You acted very foolishly in
this matter, both of you. Why did you
not come and tell me about it all at
once?"
"I wan afraid of being accused of
killing my brother," said Francis
faintly.
xou ve maae u ten times worse
now," said the inspector dryly. "Had
you wished to damn yourself, you oould
not have gone to work in a more pig
Headed fashion. "
m fR
Are you going t arrest me?"
No. There is not sufficient cvidonce
against you. Besides I quito believe
your story. Still, " added his with some I
hesitation, "yon hav to face tho coro
nor tomorrow. Ho may not beliove you
BO easily as I. "
"What do you think is best, to be
done?" I asked dlsmallv. .
"Well, judging from what you have
told mo, I should think the best thing
would bo to find Stront, " paid tho in
spector. "Ho is tho only man to solve
tho mystery. Failing him, you'd bettor
got Rose Gernon clown. Her evidence
may go to prove that Mr. Briarfield was
in bed at tho time Felix was in tho
house."
"I'll wire fpr her to como down at
once," l said, jumping un.
"It will bo as well. I'll send a man
over to Starby and find out if Strent
delivered tho horse to tho livery stable
keeper. I wish to heaven, Denham,"
said tho inspector, raging at me, "that
you had told me all about this at first."
"I acted for tho best."
"I've no doubt you 'did," he replied
ill tempertdly, "but I hate your ama
teur detectives. Thev simply muddlo
things. I'd have straightened out this
coil long ago had I taken it in hand."
Ihavo my doubts of that," said I
dryly and went off to tho telegraph of
fice. There I sent a telegram to Rose
Gernon asking her to como down by
the early train next morning and also
informed tho detective that I wished
her to come. I knew quito well sho
would not dare to refuse, and, more
over, that my detectivo would semi a
mail to watch her, while ho waited
round her houso for the possible ap
pearanco of Strent.
When I got back to tho inspector's
room, I found that his ill temper had
vanished, and ho was doing his best to
console Francis.
"I'vo ljou a man in a worse plight
than is yours, Mr. Briarfield," ho was
aying when I entered, "ajid yet ho
camo out all right in the end. Tho
cause of his predicament was similar."
"What's that?" said Francis, looking
up.
"Lack of moral courage. Had you
told Denham at tho time and then both
of yon had told mo, wo might have laid
our hands on Roso Gernon and Strent.
As it was, you gavo thorn time to mako
up their plans and get away."
"Roso hasn't got away," saidlgrim
" She's safe enough and will be hero
tomorrow. "
I wish we could say the same about
Strent," said the inspector.
Do you think he is guilty?" asked
Francis.
Upon my word, sir, aftor all my ex
perience of the law, I am afraid to say
who is guilty and who isn't That the
ory of Dr. Merrick's regarding Rose
Gernon is feasible enough. She certain
ly seems to havo had more motive for
killing your brother than had Stront"
It's my opinion, "said I, "that there
is a relationship between Strent and
Roso. In such relationship lies the se
cret, of tho crinio and her silence. "
Humph t There's something in
that, " said tho inspector. "They might
bo man and wife."
'Or brother and sister, " suggested
Francis.
'Or even lovers," I said, nodding
my head. "Jealousy on the part of
Strent might havo spurred him on to
killiug Felix."
These, however, were all theories,
and we parted for tho night without
coming to any decision as to who was
the guilty party. In tho morning I re
ceived a telegram from Merrick and
went off with it at once to the inspect
or. It ran thus:
"Have secured Strent. Am bringing
him down with Roso. Arrive at noon.
Hold over inquest if possible."
"By Jove, sir," said the inspector,
"that man is lost as a doctor. Ho ought
to bo a detectivo."

Long Sleepers.
When tho heat of a tropical or semi
tropical summer dries up every pool and
parches tho ground to such an extout
that it is difficult for animals not tu
dowed with great powers of locomotion
to obtain water, they compromise with
nature by sleeping off tho season of heat
and scarcity. The winter sleepers are
all pretty well known: but. owing to
tho Bummer sleepers being for the most
part inhabitants of tropical countries,
far romoved from tho path of trained
observers, we are loss acquainted with
tho species practicing that means of es.
caping tho heat and drought of summer.
Indeed at present only one mammal, tho
teneo, a hodgehoglike beast of Mada,
gascar, is known to do so. In South
America and Africa various reptiles
activate. In tho plains of Venezuela

But, although the 18U0 costume hascome
into fashion again, tho corresponding eti
quette finds no place In tho modern code
of manners. Then If a woman appeared
on tho stn-et with a man ho Invariably
gavo her his arm, n custom which has now
so fallen out of use that it, seems ridicu

such occasions would lw laughed at, and
so would he.
As for bicycling nnd tennis playing,
they go on quite as actively as If tho Vic

though the traditions of tlie.so modes are
contrary to all such vigorous amusements.
An illustration is given of a costume of
beigo drop d'eto and whito embroidered
voile. The skirt Is trimmed with u llounco
of the latter, which is set almost Its width
above the hem and headed by a black satin
fold. Tho full round bodice Is of black
satin, confined at the waist by a whito
belt. Tho beigo flgaro jacket is In one

WOMAN'S DEFT HAND.
It SHU Loves to Linger Over Fancy Work

However many women devote their lei
suro hours to philanthropy, intellectual
improvement or physical culture, there
will always bo a fair proportion who cling
to ancient traditions und spend their spare
tlmo In doing somo sort of fancy work.
Tho wisdom of bending over a needle for
hours when It is not necessity which urges
the labor may he questioned, but women
will do it and are always anxious to learn
some new way of exercising their deftness
of hand. No doubt if these same women
had been bom men they would have been
cabinet makers, goldsmiths or followers
of some other trade In which there is equal
scope for manual dexterity. Being wonv
en, they make paper flowers and embroid
or couch cushions.
A pretty ideulizatlon of a country custom
Is the knitting of silk stockings. Not ev

a husband whom sho wishes to please very
much will certainly succeed In doing so if
she knits hlin a pair of black silk socks
for evening wear.
A variation on the Into popular fancy of
following out hii embroidery pattern on

the Idea of trimming summer gowns with
fratl.cr odire braid applied in tho anmn
way. A pown of light bliio duck had tlie

similarly decorated.
