CHAPTER III.
▲ MENTAL WRECK.
As they re-entered the larger room
they were astonished to come upon
Miss Page standing In the doorway.
She was gazing nt the recumbent figure
of the dead woman, and for a moment
seemed unconscious of their preseuce.
“How did you get lu? Which of my
men were weak enough to let you pass
against my express Instructions?’'
asked the constable, who was of an
Irritable and suspicious nature.
Fhe let the hood drop from her bead
and, turning, surveyed him with a slow
smile. There was witchery In that
smile sufficient to affect a much more
cultivated and callous nature than his,
aud though he had been proof against
it once he could not quite resist the
effect of Its repetition.
“I insisted upon entering,” said she.
“Do not blame the men. They did not
want to use force against a woman.”
She had not a good voice and she knew
it, but she covered up this defect by a
choice of Intonations that carried her
lightest speech to the heart. Hard
visaged Amos Fenton gave a grunt,
which was as near an expression of
approval as he ever gave to any one.
“Well, well!” he growled, but not 111
naturedly. “It’s a morbid curiosity
that brings you here. Better drop It,
girl. It won’t do you any good in the
eyes of sensible people.”
“Thank you,” was her demure reply,
her lips dimpling at the corners In a
way to shock the sensitive Mr. Suther
land.
Glancing from her to the still out
lines of the noble figure on the conch,
he remarked with an air of mild re
proof:
“I do not understand you, Miss Page.
If this solemn sight has no power to
stop your coquetries nothing can. As
for your curiosity, It Is both 111 timed
aud unwomanly. Let me see you leave
this bouse at once, Miss Page, and It
in the few hours which must elapse
before breakfast you can find time to
pack your trunks, you will still further
oblige me.”
“Oh, don’t send me away, I entreat
you.”
It was a cry from her Inner heart,
which she probably regretted, for she
instantly sought to cover up the anxi
ety It showed by a submissive bend of
the bead and a step backward. Neither
Mr. Fenton nor Mr. Sutherland seemed
to hear the one or see the other, their
attention having returned to the more
serious matter in hand.
“The dress which our poor friend
wears shows her to have been struck
before retiring,” commented Mr. Suth
erland, after another short survey of
Mrs. Webb’s figure. “If Philemon”—
“Excuse me, sir,” luterrupted a voice,
“but the young woman Is listening to
what you say. She is still In the hall.”
It was the young man speaking, who
had been left In the hall.
“She Is, is she!” exclaimed Fenton
sharply, his admiration for the fascin
ating stranger having oozed out at his
companion’s rebuff. "I will soon show
her”— But the words melted Into thin
air as be reached the door. The young
girl bad disappeared, and only a faint
perfume remained in the place where
she bad stood.
“A most extraordinary person,"
grumbled the constable, turning back,
but stopping again as a faint murmur
came up from below.
“The gentleman is waking,” called
up a voice whose lack of music was
quite perceptible at a distance.
With a bound Mr. Fenton descended
the stairs, followed by Mr. Sutherland*.
Miss Page stood before the door of
the room In which sat Philemon Webb.
As they reached her side she made o
little bow that was half mocking, half
deprecatory, and slipped* from thei
house. An almost unbearable sensa-j
tkm of incongruity vanished with her,!
and Mr. Sutherland, for one, breathed!
like a man relieved.
“1 wish the doctor would come,”'
Fenton said, as they watched the slow
lifting of Philemon Webb's head. “Our
fastest rider has gone for him, but he*8'
out Porcbester way, and It may be an
hour yet before he can get beret”
“Philemon r*
Mr. Sutherland had advanced and
was standing by bis old friend's side.
“Philemon, what lias become of your
guests? You’ve waited for them here
till morning.”
The old man with a dazed look sur
veyed the two plates set on either side
of him and shook his head.
“James aud John are getting proud.’I
said he, “or they forget, they forget” ’
James and John. He must mean the
Zables, yet there were many others
answering to these names in town. Mr.
Sutherland made another effort.
“Philemon, where Is your wife? I do
not see any place set here for her?”
"Agatha’s sick, Agatha’s cross; she
don’t care for poor old man like me."
“Agatha’s dead aud you know It,”
thundered back the constable with Ill-
judged severity. “Who killed her? Tell
me that. Who killed her?”
A sudden quenching of the last spark
of Intelligence In the old man’s eye
was the dreadful effect of these words.
Laughing with that strange gurgle
which proclaims an utterly Irresponsi
ble mind, he cried:
"The pussy cat! It was the pussy
cat. Who’s killed? I’m not killed.
Lot's go to Jericho.”
Mr. Butherland took him by the arm
and led him upstalis. Perhaps the
sight of his dead wife would restore
him. But he looked at her with the
same Indifference he showed to every
thing else.
“1 don't like her calico dresses,” said
he. “She might have worn silk, but
she wouldn’t. Agatha, will you wear
silk to my funeral?”
The experiment was too painful, and
they drew him away. But the consta
ble's curiosity had been rout
after they had fouud some onj
care of him he drew Mr.
aside and eft Id;
“WUftt did the old IBM
Ing she might have worn silk? Are
they better off than they seem?”
Mr. Sutherland closed the door before
replying.
“They are rich,” he declared to the
utter amazement of the other. “That
Is, they were, but they may have been
robbed; If so, Philemon was not the
wretch who killed her. 1 have been
told that she kept her money In an old
fashioned cupboard. Do you suppose
they alluded to that one?”
He pointed to a door set In the wall
over the fireplace, and Mr. Fenton, per
ceiving a key sticking In the lock, step
ped quickly across the floor and open
ed It. A row of books mot his eyes,
but on taking them down a couple of
drawers were seen at their back.
"Are they locked?” asked Mr. Suther
land.
"One Is and one is not.”
‘‘Open the one that is unlocked.”
Mr. Fenton did so.
"It Is empty.” said be.
Mr. Sutherland cast a look toward
the dead woman, and again the per
fect serenity of her countenance struck
him.
“I do not know whether to regard her
as the victim of her husband's Imbecil
ity or of some vile robber’s cupidity.
Can you find the key to the other
drawer?” ♦
"I will try.”
"Suppose you begin, then, by looking
on her person. It should be in her

pocket. If no marauder has been here.”
“It Is not in her pocket.”
"Hanging to her neck, then, by a
string.”
"No; there Is a locket here, but no
key. A very handsome locket, Mr.
Sutherland, with”—
’‘Never mind, we will see that later;
Itlls the key we want just now.”
'“Good heavens!”
f“\Vbat Is it?”
"It is in her band; the one that lies
Underneath.”
i - ‘Ah! A point, Fenton.” *.
I "A great point.”
"Stand by her, Fenton. Don’t let any
one rob her of that key till the coroner
comes aud we are at liberty to take
It”
“I will not leave her . r an instant.”
"Meanwhile, I will put back these
books.”
He had scarcely done so when a
fresh arrival occurred. It was one of
the village clergymen.
CHAPTER IV.
A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN.
This gentleman has some Infor
mation to give. As he was returning
home from the bedside of a sick parish
ioner some little time before he had
been run against on this very corner
by a man rushing out of the gateway
In a state of great agitation. This man
held something In his band that glit
tered, and, though the encounter near
ly upset them both, he had not stopped
to utter an apology, but stumbled
away into the darkness In a dazed and
feeble way, showing that be was
neither young nor active. The minister
had not been able to see his face, but
noticed the ends of a long beard blow
ing over his shoulder us he hurried
»way.
Philemon was a clean shaved man.
Asked If he could give the time of bis
encounter, he replied that It was after
11 and before 12, for he was In bis own
bouse by 12.
1 “Did you look up at these windows
1 before leaving?” asked Mr. Fenton,
K tor this Interview had taken place In
the presence of the dead.
‘T must have, for I now remember
they were both lighted.”
"Were the shades up?”
"I think not, or I shouldlhave noticed
the ceiling of the room. I remember
seeing nothing.”
"How were the shades fwben yon
broke into the house this (morning?”
Inquired Mr. Sutherland of) the con
stable.
“Just as they are now; wethave mov
ed nothing. The shades twerp both
down—one of them over an)open win
dow.”
“Well, we may find this) encounter
of Mr. Crane’s of decided Importance.”
"I wish I had seen thefinan’s face,"
remarked the latter.
“What did the object Itook like you
saw glittering in his handT?”
"I should not like to venture au
•pinion. 1 saw It but an Instant"
"Could It have been aiknlfetor an old
fashioned dagger?"
"It might have been."’
"Alas, poor AgathaJ That) money,
something she so despised,, should
cause the death of a creaturefso grand
and simple! Unhappy life, unhappy
death! Fenton, 1 shall aiwetys mourn
for Agatha Webb."
"Yet she seems to have fouud,peace
at last,” said the minister. "I lu»Whe
never seen her look so contend
Then leading Mr. Sutherland ar*
whispered; "What Is It yon
money? Had she any c' jB *1'
amount of U? 1 ask bec' OQ
of their bumble tueaos/4r9
ways put a generous
date, md 1 have
once during my pastorate an unexpect
edly large and anonymous contribution
for certain charities. As It was always
for sick or suffering children I”—
“Yes, yes. I have no doubt It came
from her. She was by no means poor,
though I myself never knew the extent
of her means till lately. Philemon was
a good business man once, but they ev
idently preferred to live simply, having
no children living”—
“They have lost six, I have been
told.” *
“So the Porcbester folks say. They
probably had no heart for display or
for even the simplest luxuries. At all
events they did not Indulge In them.”
“Philemon has long been past Indulg
ing In anything.”
“Oh, he likes his comfort, and he has
had It too. Agatha never stinted him.”
“But why do you think her death
was due to her having money?”
“She had a large sum In the house,
and there are some who knew thla.”
“And Is It gone?”
"That we shall know later.”
As the coroner arrived at this mo
ment the minister’s curiosity had to
wait. Fortunately for his equanimity
no one had the presumption to ask him
to leave the room.
The coroner was a man of but few
words and but little given to emotion.
Yet they were surprised at his first
questiou.
“Who Is the young woman who Is
standing outside there, the only one In
the yard?”
Mr. Sutherland, moving rapidly to
the window, drew aside the shade.
“It Is Miss Page, my housekeeper’s
niece,” he explained. “I do not under
stand her Interest in this affair. She
followed me here from the house and
could hardly be got to leave this room,
Into which she intruded herself against
my express command.”
“But look at her attitude.” It was
Mr. Fenton who spoke. “She’s crazier
than Philemon, It seems to me.”
There was some reason for this re
mark. Guarded by the high fence from
the gaze of the pushing crowd without,
she stood upright and Immovable in the
middle of the yard, like one on watch.
The hood which she bad dropped from
her head when she thought her eyes
and smile might be of use to her lu the
furtheranoe of her plans had been
drawn over It again, so that she looked
more like a statue In gray than a liv
ing, breathing woman. Yet there was
menace In her attitude and a purpose
in the solitary stand she took In that
circle of boftrd girded grass which
caused a thrill In the breast of those
who looked at her from that chamber
of death.
"A mysterious young woman," mut
tered the minister.
“Aud oue that 1 neither countenance
nor understand," Interpolated Mr.
Sutherland. "I have Just shown her
the displeasure 1 feel at her actions by
dismissing her from my bouse.”
The coroner gave him a quick look,
seemed about to speak, but changed
bis mind and turned toward the dead
woman.
This story will be printed in the
Friday’s issue until completed.

Com* m hi a , July 23.—The average
temperature for the week ending 8
a. m., Monday, July 223, was 80 de
grees, or practically normal, with a
maximum of 07 at Bateshurg, and a
minimum of 06 at Greenville. The
average sunshine was below normal,
and more sunshine would have been
beneficial in the north border coun
ties. High winds broke down much
corn in a few counties, on the 14th.
The rainfall ranged from less than
half an inch to over five inches, the
former in the central portions of the
State, and central Savannah valley.
The larger amount fell in Marlboro
and Newberry counties, while over
the eastern, northeastern, northern,
and extreme western counties the
rainfall was generally excessive, and
damaging to crops by flooding bot
toms and lowlands, and by prevent
ing much needed cultivation. A few
points had insuflicient rainfall, and
there crops are suffering and did not
improve, but over the larger portion
of the State the weather was favor
able on growing crops, causing a
general, and in places, a marked im
provement in their condition.
Cotton improved throughout the
State, and, while still very small, is
growing fast and in most places is
fruiting satisfactorily. In a few
sections it is heavily fruited, while
some young cotton has not begun to
bloom. The outlook for this crop is
decidedly better than heretofore,
although some fields remain grassy,
and all of it needs more cultivation,
but over the eastern, northeastern,
and portions of the nothern counties
the ground was too wet for cultiva-
thn. Sea-island continues to blight
in spots.
Early corn is a failure in many
places, and, although somewhat
improved, is very poor generally. It
is maturing rapidly in the eastern
portions of the State. Young corn,
especially that planted on stubble
lands, looks quite promising. On
river bottoms, where usually the
finest corn is raised, the crop will
amount to practically nothing.
Tobacco shared in the general im
provement, and in places has started
new growth that will delay cutting,
but cutting and curing made fair
grogress, and some has been market
ed.
Sweet potatoes look promising,
some slips still being set out, while
in Charleston county some fields are
ready to dig and to market. Rice is
excellent, but caterpillars are destroy
ing upland rice in Hampton county.
Peas came up to good stands; some
sections report more than the usual
acreage sown to peas, others less
Sugar cane and pastures are good.
Melons are generally poor. There is
widespread complaint of peach* s and
grapes rotting.
Htar Farm Statement**.
(Correspondenca of The Leader-)
Star Farm, July 22.—I will give
you a few dots from Star Farm. Peo
ple are about done laying by. Wa
termelons and fruit are all the go
now, with a little cider occasionally.
We are having some very warm
weather now. Cotton is looking well
considering the cool and late spring.
Corn will be a failure if the bottoms
fail.
The Sunday school at Elbethel
was reorganized today. Mr. T. M.
Littlejohn was elected superintendent
Hal E. Jefferies, assistant superinten-
dent,{and E. G. McCollough secretary
and treasurer. The school elected Mr.
P. S. Webber lecturer and Miss A.
Webber, daughter of Mr. P. S. Web
ber organist. The prospects are that
we will have a good Sunday school.
Since the outcome in crops there
are a good many weddings talked of.
Mr. Andrew Childers and Miss
Dora McAffee accomplished their aim
by getting Mr. Hal E. Jefferies to
pronounce them man and wife.
Mr. John Jefferies is spending a
few days at bis oid homo with his
brother Hal.
The community at large and all
interested are invited to clean off
the graveyard at Elbethel on the 1st

Death of Mrs. Kherhert—A Marriage ami
Ollier Items of Interest.
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Willis, July 23—We were driving
along on the public highway the
other day and meeting a man who,
after having passed us, stopped his
vehicle and ran back towards us hal-
I- o ng, “Hello, Kill-goro.” Well,
of course we were somewhat non
plussed, thinking that some one had
been killed by the name of “Gore”
and that he was taking us for the
one who did it, therefore wo were
very quick to tell him that he was
mistaken, that we were not the one,
that we had not killed Mr. Gore, nor
any one else. “Oh ! beg your pardon,
says he. I thought your name was
Killgoie. Excuse me for stopping
you.” We excused hirn, of course,
but very gently informed him that
our name was not Killgore, but that
we were generally known by the
name of Octavus. The fact is, there
is not a bit of danger of us ever kill
ing, or even hurling anyone, because
we are so timid that it almost breaks
our heart to have to kill even a
bunch of crab grass.
Not long ago one of Victor’s fac
tory lads gave two dollars for a horse
and buggy to drive eight miles into
tbe country to enjoy the company of
a country lass. When he got there
he could only have the pleasure of
gazing upon her beautiful features
while one of our country gents en
joyed her company.
This young lady says that the fac
tory boys—dudes, she calls them—
have all the brass about them you
are looking for, but that country
lasses are looking for something
more substantial in young men than
brass.
W. W. Whelcbol lost his mule
some time ago and as a result has
about lost his crop, not being able,
either frr love or money, to get one
to take its place.
Both cotton and corn in this sec
tion are tolerably fair where they
have been well cultivated. How
ever, there are but few farms that
have been so fortunate as to have
been well cultivated. In fact, if
this section is a fair sample of the
cotton crop at large, farmers may
very reasonably expect a good prb e
for their cottou this fall.
Mr. Richard Morgan, of Andover,
and Miss Bessie Miles, of Clarence,
were married last Sunday at the resi
dence of Mrs. Davis, near Greers.
Mrs. Corry Sherbert, wife of Krvin
Sherbert, died on the 7th and was
buried at Mt. Lebanon on the 8th
Mrs. Sherbert leaves a husband and
two small children, the oldest one
being only two years old and the
youngest only one month old. Mrs
Sherbert was ill for several weeks
and her physician was unaole to di
agnose the disease with which she
was suffering, which seemed to be al
together of the stomach. She was
urfable to retain anything on her
stomach, even in tbe minutest quan
tity.
Judging from the actions of the
young folks of this immediate section,
