CHAPTER II.
lr. Maxwell Goes to Investigate.
T)r. Robert Haxw M stood before the
Mjf fireplace In Rev. Mr. Warren's par
lor. He had just returned with Anna
from the funeral of Ned Ames. The
plrl had gone to Rive instructions about
supper, with Hpeclal reference to the
tastes of her future lord and master
who was to share that meal with her
pelf an l nor father. When ehe re-entered
the parlor, Maxwell was pi-loved
to observe that there were tears In her
yes. Indeed she had not ceased to
weep since she had set foot in the
Ames house.
"You should not let the memory of
your sifter's crror.prey upon you In this
way," said Maxwell. You must calm
yourself before your father conies, for
lie will have all itliat he can bear with
out the sight of your grief."
"I will not lt him see it," replied the
fori; "hut all ithe old sorrow has come
back today. If we could only find
Jier!"
"That Is Impossible nofc."
"You believe that she Is dead?"
"Yes; and I could almost say I hope
eo."
"That Is heartless! And you used to
le such good friends. Why, you were
Jnuch more fond of her than of me!"
"I looked upon you as a little girl In
ilhose days. You are right In saying I
wus fond of Charlotte. I always ad
mired her, and I would believe no evil
of her until doubt was Impossible. You
must not think me heartless because of
what I said. Life must be worthless
for her. - Suppose we did find her; sup
pose, even, that she came Imck "
"I would welcome her, and be a sis
ter tc her just as In the old days!" cried
the girl, and the words came from her
heart.
"She will Hot come," said Maxwell.
He shivered a little, and glanced be
hind him at the fire, which was blazing
lirightly,.
Anna did not reply. She sat a long
time In silence; and the young man.
also, seemed to be abundantly occupied
with his own thoughts. It was not a
Rood augury for their future happiness
that, with the wedding so near, they
nhould make no better success of bear
lug one another's burdens.
. Suddenly a murmur of voices arose In
the street.
"Ka titer Is coming," said Anna, and
uhe walked to the window. "Oh Kober!
h't can this mean? The hearse Is
here. It has p.topped before the house."
Maxwell ,1-eaohed her side with a
bound. Ills face paled at the Hlght.
CThure were a hundred people In the
street, surrounding the black-draped
vehicle.
Mr Warren was already at the door.
"Anna, my child!" ihe cried, "have
you heard?"
She could not speak. What news the
father had to tell, the render already
knows. He broke the direct shock of
tt as best he might, and the girl heard
the astounding story without losing her
self-command. At the first 9lght of her
father's agon'.zed face, she hud resolved
' ' z.
"Oh. Iiobertl! What Can This Mean?
with all the firmness of her strong na
ture that she would not yield to any
horror, for he would need her help.
The collln was borne Into the house.
Anna saw her dead sister for a single
moment. Then shei led her father away,
until with lier love, and the strength
that came In answer to their mutual
prayers, he was himself again.
An hour later, the pastor and his
daughter, wlthi Maxwell and Frank
Ames, sat In Mr. Warren's study and
spoke of the awful mystery with rea
sonable calmness.
"1 have sent for Mr. Harris," said
Maxwell, narfiiing a deputy sheriff who
was the only officer of the law residing
In Wllllstoti.
"There is no doubt, then.", murmured
the clergyman, "that my poor child died
a violent death."
"None) whatever," rtlsponded Max
well. "Irt me assure you, for. what
little consolation Is possible, that her
death wus painless. There Is an In
cised wound In the 'head, upon the left
side of the head, about un Inch behind
the ear. She waa struck down with a
weapon, the nature of which I cannot
determine further .than to say that It
was pointed and really sharp. It pene
trated the skull and undoubtedly caused
Instant unconsciousness, ,nnd speedy
death. That I know from other Indica
tions than the wound Itself. I have
know it Jrreater Injuries not to kill, but
the effect of shock In such cases varies
greatly with different Individuals." I
Mr. Warren pressed his hand upon his
forehead.
"I trust," he said, "that the feelings
of my heart at this moment are not
simply revengeful, but I would not be
a human creature If I did not desire to
see Justice done upon tho murderer of
my ohild."
"We all desire thaB," said Ames.
"Everything possible must be done, and
done at once."
"Frank." said Maxwell, "were you
with your brother when he died?"
"I was not. The- truth must be told
now, of course. 1 Intended to deceive
my parents in this matter, because 1
thought that they would suffer less If
they believed that N'ed had some one
who knew and loved him by his side at
ithe last. The fact Is that I received a
note by post from him which. said:
"Come to see me at once If you care 'to
see me at all. I am (lying, und I want
to say something to you for father and
mother, if you don't come, or If you
come too late, beg them to forgive me.'
The (note was wrongly addressed,
and was delayed. The instant I re
ceived it I went to the house where he
lay sick. He had already been put Into
his coffin, and it was sealed."
There was an anxious silence after
these words.
"I know what you all think," said
Ames. "Hut I can't believe It of Ned."
"Is any other conclusion possible?"
demanded Mr. Warren, becoming great
ly excited. "I have always suspected
him of being tho cause of Charlotte's
flight. He wearied of her; murdered
her, und took this means to hide her
body from all eyes. It was a deep and
villainous plot." '
"There are grave dffllcultles," said
Maxwell. "How was the death certi
ficate obtained?"
"By bribery!" cried the clergyman.
"Money win buy anything In cities. A
doittor was bribed. It would not have
been necessary for him to be privy to
the murder. The plot might have been
presented to him In various ways as a
fraud upon n insurance company per
haps." "It Is barely possible," Maxwell ad
mitted. "What sort of a house was It
In which your brother wus supposed to
have died?"
"A South Boston tenement house of
an unsavory reputation in short a re
sort for criminals. However, I found
one honest woman In It, nnd she seems
to have been the only one who did any
thing to help my brother when he was
slek. What she said satisfied me. It
was she who got the doctor for him; it
was she who brought him food. She
did nut actually see 111 in die, but file
was In his room on the evening of the
night W'hen he passed away. What was
done with his body? the sealing of it
In a metal-lined coftln was by his re
quepit, und he left ithe money to pay for
It. I have the address of the physlclnn
who attended hliivaJid who secured the
necessary permits." '
"Will you give me that address?" said
Maxwell. ,
VWbut do you mean to do?"
"Some one must go to Boston and In
vestigate that story. For my own part
and I'm sorry to say It 1 believe, your
brother to be the criminal. The plot
looks simple. He pretended to die;
Charlotte, wlm wudjubtless In Boston,
was lured to the house aud killed."
"What's that?" cried Anna. 'There
at the window." ' '
All sprang to their feet at this Inter
ruption. Ames wus the first' to" reach
the window. .
. "There Is no one here," he said.
"I am sure I saw a man's face," said
Anna In ai 'frightened 'whisper. "It
looked like" v
"Edward Ames," said the clergyman,
as the girl hesitated.
"Yes; but I must have been mistaken.
He was upon my mind, and I Imagined
that I saw him. Yet I am sure that
some one was there. Oh, 1 am so
frightened! This has been such a
dreadful day!"
She sobbed hysterically. The three
men stood with blanched faces.
"I see nothing Impossible In It," snid
Mr. Warren. "Edward Ames was seen
in Willlston by Horace Riddle."
"Let me go out under the window,"
said Maxwell. "There muy bo tracks
In the snow."
He turned toward the door; and then
his Impatience overcame him. He
rushed to the window. Hung it open
und leaped out.
"A man has been here!" he cried.
"These footprints In the light snow
have been made recently. 1 can see
nothing of him."
He climbed back Into the room.
"Anna, dearest," he said, "your
strength will bear no more of 'this . You
must go to bed, and Mrs. Norton wldl
sit by you till you go to sleep."
Mrs. Norton was the housekeeper.
She was summoned, und, in spite of
Anna's protest, she was made to resign
herself tm rest nnd the good old woman's
care. But before they parted Maxwell
bade her good-by, as for a considerable
absence; Indeed, he could not have spo
ken more tenderly If they were never to
meet ana In.
"It is best for me to go to Boston and
Investigate the case there," said he.
"As a physician, I shall be able to judge
of the reality of Ned Ames" death, and,
knowing both him and Charlotte, I can
be of assistance to the Uoston police,
who will, of course. Investigate the case.
I shall drive to llolman Junction to
night, In the hope of cutohlng the ex
press. 1 can do it If I sturt ut once."
Anna strove to detain him, until she
Baw that her father was anxious that
he should go. Then she bade him a ten
der farewell, and the young man went
out Into the winter night.
Ames remained but a few minutes
nfter Maxwell's departure. The cler
gyman remained alone In his study. He
had thought upon this mystery until
"llo Don't Need to Go to Huston.'
his brain would think no more. . He
wheeled his great study-chair before
the open fire and sat there, vainly
dreaming that nil these sorrows hud
never come upon him; that the child
whoso cohl form lay In the room above
his head was slot ping In her sister's
arms that night, as pure ns she.
There wns a knock at the donr.
Thinking It was Mrs. Norton, the cler
gyman said: "Come In," alfid Instantly
tehtCd Instead of the white-haired
housekeeper the sturdy form of the
stranger, at whose word the grave had
given up Its secrwt.
"Sit still, Mr. Warren," said ho.
Don't be disturbed by my coming now
or by anything 1 may say. Who am I?
Well, my name is John Mulligan, and
I'm a detective from Boston. You'd
like to know what I'm doing here, no
dcubt. I'll tell you: I'm after Eddie
Ames. Now I believe him to be in this
town."
"You know him to be here; 'that boy
told you."
"As for that boy, his story don't help
me much. You see the fact about that
is Just this: 1 Inquired quietly for the
biggest liar In town one that would
lie easily for small pay and young
Riddle was recommended. So I gave
him a dollar to tell that story, and he
earned the money. By Jupiter, hie more
than earned It. He gave me an experi
ence, the equal of which I never had had
before. For, though I suspected that
Eddie Ames (alias Eddie Barttur, alias
good many other names and everyone
a thief's name) wasn't In that rofiln. I
had no more Idea than you had who was
in it."
"You Bre from Boston," said Mr. War
ren. "You suspected that Edward
Ames was not dead. Then you must
have much Important Information. Ir.
Maxwell should see you before he
gees."
"Before he goes where?"
"To Boston, to find out how my child
was brutally murdered In thut wicked
city, and thrust into a thief's cofiln."
"We don't need to go to Boston for
that," said the detective, earnestly. "It
wasn't done in any wicked city; it wus
done right here In this town!"
