ILK IWlUTTBN FOK TlIK CHAPTER XVIII. /f^?H !" exclaimed Her, address inp; Mrs. Edrones, "Mary Etta is to arrive on this evening's train, and we must certainly make her enjoy her stay. Mama, sho ?B undoubtedly tho most-affable girl I ever know, and I am sure you will love her." Just at this moment a vehicle rolled in front of tho gate of "Sunny Side." A girl quickly bounded from it, and as Her glanced out of tho window sho found it to bo her bolovcd friend, Mary Etta. She ran nt full speed to meet her, md when sho roached thc girl sho throw both arms around her nock and said : "1 am so glad to soe you. How have you been sinco wo were last together? Now, Mary Etta, come right in and tell me all about your dear Belf." And Her ushered her friend into thc lovely dwelling. They immediately ascended tho carpeted stairway and cntored tho guest-chamber, where Mary Etta's wraps were removed and her hair rearranged. "Now, Mary Etta, if you are reidy, I will find mama and make you acquainted with her." They then descended the stairway and at once observed Mrs. Edrones in the hall. "Mama, allow me to present to you my dear friend, Mary Etta." "I um delighted to meet you, and have heard Her speak of you so fre quently that it appears as though you arc au old acquaintance. I trust you wiN make yourself at home and enjoy your visit, for I assure you that you are t?nico welcome." "Thank you very much, Mrs. Edrones ; I am sure I will havo a pleasant stay," replied Mary Etta. "Here is father," cried lier, as an elderly gentleman appeared in the hall-way. "Welcome, welcome to our home, Miss Jackson. Wo are always glad to have lier's friends visit us," ejac ulated the old man, in his most jovial manner. . "You arc very kind, I am sure," murmured Mary Etta. "Now we will enter the drawing room and enjoy a long chat, for you must bc quite weary'after your jour ney," said lier, as she at once led tho way into that apartment. "By the way, Mary Etta, Prof. Irby Wal lace has just gone from Bonnets btirg OU this evening's car, tho same one that you arrived on. I Io bade me adieu this afternoon, intending returning to Windervillo this even ing, and I suppose he left." "Indeed!" cried Mary Etta, "I haven't seen him in quite a while. Has he changed any ?" "No, he is just the same as ever." They were chatting merrily ns Arnold entered the room quite slowly. Ile remained still, appar ently astonished when he observed lier's guest. "Oh, Arnold ! you surely haven't forgotten that I was expecting Mary Etta, and she has arrived, so you must come and join us in our conver sation. You .have heard me speak of her frequently. Come and meet her." Not a syllable did tho boy utter as Her presented him to (he girl. He only gave one stiff bow, as he occu pied a portion of tho tete-a-tete be side Miss Jaekson. She chatted merrily with him, but he merely answered her questions. lier was unable to imagine w1 . possessed tho boy to act thus, for HIIC could not recall tho time when he had appeared as quiet as now. He was evidently nervous and restless, and his eyes were constantly gazing downward. "Her, I did not give Irby the package, but will see that ho gets it all right. I shall certainly post it to him to-morrow." "Poor man ! he does not care foi it, so it is useless to trouble to mail it now," cried Her. "It shall not remain herc as a re minder," angrily stammered Arnold Ho retired quito early, declaring he Buffered with a severo headache, and the girls remained in the draw ing room alone for some time. After chatting pleasantly for awhile lier and her companion retired and wore soon lost in peaceful repose. On the following morning the two girls were alone in tho drawing room nnd wore happily engaged in con vorsation, their merry laughter ring ing through thc elegant home. They were delighted to ho in each other's presence once again and had a great deal to relate. Mr. Frank Edrones entered witl tho morning paper. "Had news, he muttered, as he handed tho l?en netsburgh Daily Nows to Her, point ing to the following : A Mysterious Occurrence. On tho night of Dor-ember 24th, at 10 o'clock, tho body of a man was found near tho railroad track, about ono hundred yards from tho Honnota borgh depot. His clothing denotes that ho is a gentleman of distinction and woalth. In his pockets wero found a number of business cards and letters, proving him to be Prof. Irby Wallaco, of Windervillo. His KKOWBB COURIBR.] brother ha? been telegraphed for, and an inquisition will be held, be hind dosed doors, by the Coroner and his jurors, immediately aftor his arrival. There is a suspicion of foul play, but it is evideut that robbery waa not the purpose of the murder, for a purse, containing two hundred and sixty dollars, a handsome gold watch and chain, an opal scarf pin, a diamond and emerald ring, wei? found on his person. It is thought that he was murdered and placed upon tho track for the purpose of misleading tho public Some suspi cions as to the guilty one have boen rumored, hut none havo arrived at a definite conclusion. Tho town is wrought up to the highest pitch with excitement and evory possible means will bo devised to find the guilty party and inflict upon him bis just punishment. Aftor finishing the announcement Her handed the paper to heroompan ion and her face became very pallid as she burst into tears. She could not speak for sonio moments. Ero long Mary Etta also wept. She throw her arms around the neok of Her and offered her all her girlish sympathy. . "It is awful, so horrible ! but no doubt tho murderer will be punished as he deserves," cried Mary Etta. "Oh, dear!" muttered Her, "it ap pears as though my friends must bo ] snatched from me, one by one, until all aro taken. Irby has always been kind and truo to me and I cannot realize that I shall never behold his happy face again. Ho was a man that considered tho pleasures of | others, rather than his own, and pos sessed such an affable disposition that none could refrain from respect ing him highly and admiring his many good qualities. Ile lins always proved himself my sincere friend and was willing to render me any possiblo service I have most assuredly lost] a true friend. I trust that the hor rid wretch who murdered him may be brought to justice." "No doubt you aro grieved to hear thin-HO am I ; but, dear, you must remember that everything is done for good, though it is often difficult for us to realizo the fact. I am aware that ho was even moro than a friend to you, and that you loved him very much ; so, of course, it grieves you greatly to hear of this] horrible altair ; but, nevertheless, you must try to become reconciled to your fate." "O, darling ! your words aro in deed comforting, but you do not] know what sorrows I havo under gone. My troubles appear greater than those falling to tho lot of others, and you can never reali/.o what trials are placed upon Die." ? At this period a sudden clang of | the bell was audible to thom and their conversation for the moment ceased. Mr. Frank Edrones went to answer the call, lt was a strango man who asked, -'Is Miss Stephens in ?" "Ves," replied tho old gentleman, "hut she is at present greatly grieved over the death of a sincero friend, and, therefore, will see no one." "Hut I must see her ; business de mands it, and if you will not tell bel I will he compelled to search until I find her, though I would regret to | do this." "Her, a gentleman wishes to see yon," cried the old man, as he slowly opened the drawing room door. "Fathor, please tell them I will see no one at present ; I prefer quietude." "Come, dear, bo a good girl and obey at once, for he wishes to see you on business." "Of course, if it is your desire, I will go." And she quickly loft tho] room. "This is Miss Stephens, I bolieve,' began tho visitor. "I have a warrant | for you." "A warrant for roe ? What can this mean ? It is surely a mistake. "It is a witness warrant, summon ing you before tho Coroner's jury this afternoon at 4 o'clock," said th( Sheriff." "I know nothing of this affair, and absolutely refuse to go." "I regret to spoak thus to yoi madam. Although this is a painful duty, I must perform it, and if you will not go without, I must compol you to go." "She will go. I will soo that she is present at tho inquest at 3.30," said Mr. Edrones. The largo clock in the hall tolled throe. "Como, Her," called Mr. Frank Edrones, ns the girl appeared on the threshold. "I promised tho Shoriff your presenco this afternoon, so bo tho obedient daughter that you al ways aro and accompany me to the station." Hor silently followed him as ho departed from "Sunny Sido." She was always delighted to oboy Mr. Edroncs's evory request, and now, al though a diflioult task lay before her, sho detorminod not to flinch from hor duty. Sho felt confident that ho, as her fathor, would never ask her to act wrongly under nny con sideration. She knew nothing of tho awful tragedy, and why ?honld they demand her to apper before this horrible suene ? She could not imagine why they desired her to be present. At last Her and her father reaohed the scene. It was a small hut, much blackened by age and almost top pling over. This spot ' was about oue hundred yards from the Bennets burgh depot. Immediately after arriving at the place, Her was ushered into the house and the doors closed behind her. Mr. Frank ?droues remained outside, for only Her was allowed to enter the small apartment. Crowds assembled about tho spot cager to bear the least sound 'that might cs oapo. Men, women and children gathered, each endeavoring to push his or her way through the excited and chattering mob and approach tho scene. Great excitement pre vailed and interest could bo observed in the countenances of all present. Some few romaiued together con versing in low tones, but tho greater portion wore silent and motionless, alert and ready to catch the least sound that might escape. Tho clock tolled 4, and still the inquisition contined, but at length the door of the apartment opened and Ber came forth, her countenance no longer bright and happy as of old, but sad and melancholy. "Well, father, you must be quite weary after this hour's waiting, so I Bupposo you desire returning to 'Sunny Side?' " "Yes, Ilor, we will go," replied the old gontleman. Her was apparently rapt in medi tation, and suddenly exclaimed "Father, why do you suppose those mon forced mo to relato my ex peri enees of love with Arnold and Irby ? It appears to .me that these sacred feelings do not concern them." "Don't mention the horrid affair and suppose we endeavor to forget it," replied Mr. Edroncs ; and he shuddered for a moment, as ho real ized what would evidently follow. Her and Arnold wore alono in tho hallway, he endeavoring to soothe her wearied spirits, and chatting merrily with lier, when they were suddenly aroused by a loud peal of the bell. Her answered the call and there before her she observed the Sheriff, "What will you have?" she asked. "I wish to see Mr. Arnold Kdrones," replied the Sheriff. "Is he at home ?" Her remained silent, not uttering a syllable. "If you will not tell mo where to find him I will be compelled to search the house and premises, for I must see him at once." Still Her was speechless, and the man went in quest of Arnold and found him in the drawing roora. Ile tapped the boy on tho shoulder, say ing, "Consider yourself arrested." "What can this mean ? I have done nothing and you have no right to thus enter a gentleman's private dwelling and offend him." "But here is my warrant. Evi dence is against you ; and you know you are guilty, so come with mo wil lingly or I will force you to accom pany me. You will spend to-night in the Bennetsburgh jail." And the Sheriff carried the poor boy from his homo and loved ones to lodge him in that awful cell.
