THE MYSTERY OF AGATHA WEBB. By Anna Katharine Green, Auihor nf “Ihe Leareuwinth Ccue," "Lost Man'ii Lane," "liaiul and Hlng," Lie., Etc. TV OOPYHIGHT, 1S0Q, J J BY ANNA KAVHAK1NR UUKIH. 9 “VvpII. K«*mlfman. we uave gut more Shan we expected when we came here /.'fji* m(*rning There remains, however. point reyardiiiK which we have re- .vived no explanation Miss Page, how ratue that orchid, which. I am told, you wore in your hair at the dance, to be ound lying near the hem of Patsy’S ■skirts'; You distinctly told us that you did not go up stairs wbeu you were in \frs Webb's house." "Ah. that's so!” acquiesced the Bos tvmi detective dr>ly. "How came that tjmver on the scene of the murder?” She smiled and seemed equal to the tiiuergency “That is a mystery for us all to 'solve." she said quietly, looking iuto tiic* eyes of her questioner. “A mystery it is your business to solve." corrected the district attorney “Nothing that you have told us in sup jort ot your innocence would in the -.res of the law weigh for one instant ■Against the complicity shown by tliat '>«e piece of circumstantial evidence •v.gainst you.” Her smile carried a certain high liandcd denial of this to one heart there at least. But her words were filimble enough. “I am aware of that." said she. Then. Turning like lightning to where Sweet water stood lowering upon her from out liis half closed eyes, she impctti •amsly cried: "You. sir. you who with ■!>ut call to do so have presumed to ar nogate the office of detective from those whose rigid it was to act in this matter prove yourself equal to your V»resmnption b\ finding out the ex jibination of this mystery yourself It c*an be found out. for. mark. I did not »*nrry that (lower into the room where \ was found This 1 am ready to swear t) before <lod and before man!" Her hand was raised, her whole at ritude spoke defiance and hard as it was for Sweetwater to acknowledge it -truth He felt that he had received .v challenge, and with a quick glam-e At Knapp, who barely responded by a ihrug. he shifted over to the side of (Jr Talbot. Amabel at once dropped her hand “May I go?" she no*v cried appeal rng!y to Mr Courtney "I really have gto more to say. and I am tired." “Ilid you see the figure of the man who brushed by you in the wood? Was that of the old man you saw on the . Joorstep?" At tins direct question Pred'rlck quivered in spite of his dogged self control But she', with her face up turned to meet the scrutiny of the speaker, showed only a childish kind «->f wonder. "Why do you ask that* there anj ioubt about Its being the uame?" What an actress! Frederick stood jr-j'alli'd. He ha<l been amazed at the -.Jiill with which she had manipulated !’»er story so as to keep her promise to kiim and yet leave the way open for hat further confession which wor.hl A! ,, 'r tin* v ..oie into a dcuunchition of 7 Jut self which lit* would Hud it dilli < *uit if not impossible to meet. But Uhls extreme dissimulation made him oki‘ heart. It showed her to be :.n an r.-igonist t'f almost Illimitable resource and secret dett'rmiiiatiou. *T did uot suppose tin re could be any Ioubt." siie added, in such a natural one of surprise that Mr. Courtney iropped tin* siibjeet and Dr Talbot “Aimed to Sweetuaier. who for the mo- •iieut stH'med to have robbed Knapp of 's rightful place as tin* coroner's eon rSdunt. ' Shall we let her go for the present?" /.He \vh ^pered. "Siie does look tired, fxtor girl!" The public challenge which Swe**t- viater had received made him wary, •jutd Ins reply was a guarded one. 1 do not trust her. yet there is much /xi eoniiiin her story. Those sand wiches. now! She says she dropped them in Mrs. Webb’s yard under the T'veur tree and that the bag that held Jjem burst open. Gentlemen, the birds •atere so busy there on the tuo-.ning aft the murder that 1 could not but no £ jce them, notwithstanding my absorp 'oion in greater matters. I remember wondering what they were all peeking •fit so eagerly. Then the length of time ? hat elapsed between the moment Za .k*I was seen rushing from Mrs. Webb's .gate and the hour in which he bought Aiie bread has never been quite ac *• turn ted for. Though I doubt that so rid a man would find strength for that journey to the woods, 1 can hut ac knowledge that it would account for Dose very minutes we have hail some ♦ iilliculty in filling up. But the flower «rbose presence on the scene of guilt -“die challenges me to explain! How • ♦bout that, sirs? And then the money " ■o deftly reburied by her—can any ex la nation make her other than aeees ory to a crime on whose fruits she . -»ys her hand in a way tending solely v *» concealment? No, sirs, and so 1 '•hall not relax my vigilance over her lotions even if. in order to be faithful ' > ft. I have to suggest that a warrant >«e made out for her imprisonment." "You are right." acquiesced the corn v*r. and. turning to Knapp, he sug jested that .Miss Page was such an im t ’»ortant witness In this matter that **rbnp* it would he better to have her n lown in the town where she could l>c »ore easily under his eye. Nothing could have pleased Mr. Sufh land betiit Glancing >•* FredeiM*'; > d seeing Fiat he was r le r ph ased '.Jin (listui'i.ed by tills suggestion, le- r;i ve his umiualil'ed approval, and vliss Page y\ iis notified of the coroner's •A'ishes. tdie made no objection, cm me con trary, her cheeks dimpled, and she turned away with alacrity to prepare herself for departure. But before go ing she approached the coroner and said persuasively: “1 have told you all that came to my mind this moment But after thinking it over I may remember some little de tails that have escaped me today." •Tall her back." cried Mr. Courtney "She has kept back something; let us hear it all." But Mr Sutherland, with a side look at Frederick, whispered: “Walt! She Is a subtle creature and under the ex citement of the moment will contrive to elude you. Catch her alone. Mr. Courtney: catch her alone, and If she has a secret, you of all meu will suc ceed In surprising It.” .He had noted that the rest were too preoccupied to observe that Frederick had reached the limit of his strength and could not !>e trusted to preserve his composure any longer under this searching examination iuto the con duct of a woman from whom he had so lately detached himself. CHAPTER XIX. A SYMPATHETIC FRIEND. The next day was the day of Aga tha's funeral. She was to be buried In Porehester. by the side of her six children, and. as the day was fine, the whole town, as by common consent, assembled In the road along which the humble cortege was to make its way to the spot indi cated. . From the windows of farmhouses, from between the trees of the few scattered thickets along the way. sad dened and curious faces looked forth, till Sweetwater, who walked as near as he dared to the immediate friends of the deceased, felt the Impossibility of remembering them all and gave up the task in despair. Before one house, abou*. a mile out of town, the procession paused, and at a gesture from the minister every one within sight took ofT their hats, amid a hush which made almost painfully ap parent the twittering of birds and the other sounds of animate and inani mate nature which are inseparable from a country road. They had readi ed Widow Jones cottage, in which Philemon was then staying. The from door was closed and so were the lower windows, but in one of the upper casements a movement was perceptible, and In another instant there came iuto view a woman and a man. supporting between them the Im passible form of Agatha’s husband. Holding him up In plain sight of the almost breathless throng below, the woman pointed to where bis darling lay and apjieared to say something to him. Then there was to be seen a strange sight. The old man. with bis thin white locks fluttering in the breeze, leaned forward, with a smile, and, holding out his arms, cried In a faint hut joyful tone. “Agatha!" Then, as if j realizing for th<* first time that it was death he looked upon and that the crowd below was a funeral procession, his face altered, and he fell back, with a low. heartbroken moan, into the arms of those who supported him. As his white head disappeared from | sigiit the procession moved on. and i from only one pap. >f lips went up that groan of sorrow with which every l heart seemed surcharged--«>ne groan. : From whose lips did it come? Sweet water endeavored to find out. but was i not able, nor could any one inform him unless It was Mr. Sutherland. ; whom he dared not approach. This gentleman was on foot like the rest, with his arm fast linked in that of his son Frederick. He had meant to ride, for the distance was long for 1 men past <»:>; but. finding the latter re- j solved to walk, he had consented to do j the same rather than be separated from his son. He had fears for Frederick—he could hardly have told why and as the cer emony proceeded and Agatha was sol emnly laid away in the place prepared for her his sympathies grew upon him to such an extent that he found it dif ficult to quit the young man for a mo incut or even to turn his eyes away from the face he had never seemed to know till now. But as a friend and stranger were now rapidly leaving the yard he controlled himself and. assum ing a more natural demeanor, asked his son if he were now ready to ride hack. But. to Ids astonishment. Frederick re plied that he did uot intend to return to Sulheilandtown at present, that he had business in Porehester and that he was doubtful as to when he would be ready to go home. As the old gen tleman did not wish to raise a contro versy. he said nothing, but as soon as he saw Frederick disappear up the road he sent back the carriage he had ordered, saying that he would return In a Porehester gig as soon as he had settled some affairs of his own, which might and might not detain him there till evening. Then he proceeded to a little Inn. where he hired a room with windows that looked out on the highroad. In one of these windows he sat all day. watching for Frederick, who had gone further up the road. But no Frederick appeared, and with vague misgivings, for which as yet he had no name, he left tin* window and set out on foot for home. It was now dark, but a silvery gleam on the horizon gave promise of the speedy rising of a full moon Other wise he would not have attempted to walk over a road proverbially dark and dismal. The churchyard. In which they had Just laid away Agatha, lay in his course. As he approached he felt his hcari fa’I oitil stopping a moment at the ■e<iw<* wall that separated it from the highroad he leam d against tin* trunk of a huge elm that guarded tin* gate of entrance. An In* did so In* Ivan! a sound of repressed sobbing from -oinc spo; not very far away, and moved by some uiidefinalde impul-e <st!-ong.*i iban his will, he pushed open the gate and entered tin* sacred pre einets. Instantly tin* wlcrdness and desola tiou of the spot struck him. He w ish ed. yet dreaded, to advance. Some tiling in tin* grief of the mourner whose sobs he had heard had seized upon his heartstrings, and yet ns he hesitated, the sounds came again, and. forgetting that liis intrusion might not prove altogether welcome, he pressed forward till lie came within a few feet from the spot from which the sobs Is sued He had moved quietly, feeling the awe of the place, and when he paused it was with a sensation of dread not to be entirely explained by the sad and dismal surroundings. Dark ns It was. he discerned the outline of a form ly ing stretched in speechless misery across a grave, hut when impelled by an almost irresistible compassion he strove to speak, his tongue clove to the roof of his mouth and he only drew back further into the shadow. He had recognized the mourner and the grave. The mourner was Fred eriek and the grave that of Agatha Webb. A few minutes later Mr. Sutherland reappeared at the door of the Inn and asked for a gig and driver to take him Q„ H !l I f 1 ; 11 km Bow Are Your Itldneya V , b*'fc pie free Add DlNnp)trai;.nce «»f the Toper.

He said in excuse for his indecision that he had undertaken to walk, hut had found his strength inadequate to the exertion. He was looking very pale and trembled so that the landlord, who took his or der. asked him if he were ill. But Mr Sutherland insisted that he was quite well, only in a hurry, and showed the greatest impatience till lie was again start(*d upon the road.
