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

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

< *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

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

r;i ve his umiualil'ed approval, and

•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

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

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.

Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble
and Don’t Know it.
How To Find Oat.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or set
tling indicates an
unhealthy condi
tion of the kid
neys; if it stains
your linen it is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain in
the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swa np-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills e/cry
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and e\ ery part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
ouring the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes.
