THE MYSTERY OF AGATHA WEBB. By Anna Katharine Green, Author of “The Leavenworth C’twe.' “Lout Man'* I,<ute“ “Hand and liinV’" Etc., Etc. OOPTRIGHT, 1900, . BY ANNA KATHARINE OREIK. For the first half mile be sat perfect- iy silent The moon was now up nixl road stretched before them flooded with light As long as no one was to the seen on this road or on the path I running beside It Mr. Sutherland held himself erect, his eyes fixed before him in an attitude of anxious inquiry. / but as soon as any sound came to break the silence or there appeared in the distance ahead of them the least appearance of a plodding wayfarer he drew back and hid himself in the re cesses of the vehicle. This happened several times. Then his whole man ner changed.* They had just passed Frederick, walking, with bowed head, toward Sutherlandtown. But he was not the only person on the road at this time. A few minutes previously they had passed another man walking in the same direction. As Mr. Sutherland mused over this he found himself peering through the small window at the hack of Hie bug gy. striving to catch another glimpse of the two men plodding behind him lie could see them both, his son's form throwing its long shadow over the moonlit road, followed only too closely by that other, whose ungainly step he feared to acknowledge to himself was growing only too familiar in his eyes Falling into a troubled reverie, he be held the well known houses and the great trees tinder whose shadow he hail grown from youth to manh »od (lit by him like phantoms m a divjm But suddenly one house and one place drew his attention with a force that started him again into an ereet utti tude. and seizing witli one hand the nrm of the driver, he pointed with the other at the door of the eottage they were passing, saying in ehoked tones “See. see! Something dreadful lias happened since we passed by here this morning That is erape. Samuel, erape. hanging front the doorpost yonder!” “Yes. it is crape.” answered the driv er. jumping out and running up the patli to look “Philemon must be d. ad. the good Philemon.” Here was a fresh blow. Mr Suther land bowed before it for a moment. Then he rose hurriedly and stepped down Into the road beside the driver. “(let in again.” said he. "and drive on Hide a half mile, then come back for me. 1 must see the Widow Jones.” The driver, awed both by tin* ocea fdon and the feeling it had called up in Mr. Sutherland, did as he was bid and drove away Mr. Sutherland, with a glance hack at the road he had just traversed, walked painfully up the path to Mrs. Jones' door. A moment's conversation with the ‘woman who answered his- summons proved the driver's supposition to he correct. Philemon had passed away. He bad never rallied from the shock lie bad received He had Joined his bclov ed Agatha on the day of her burial, and the long tragedy of their mutual life was over. “It is a mercy that uo inheritor of their misfortune remains,” quoth the good woman as site sa\y the ntfiiction -ber tidings caused in this much rever ed friend. The assent Mr. Sutherland gave was mechanical. He was anxiously study ing the road leading toward Porches- ter Suddenly he stepped hastily in. “Will yon be so good as to let me sit dowm in your parlor for a few min utes?” he asked "I would like to rest there for an instant alone. This final blow has upset me.” The good woman bowed. Mr. Suther laud's word was law in that town She - did not even dare jto protest against the “alone” which he had so poiulcdly empbusized. hut left him after making bini. as she said, comfortable, and went back to her duties in the room above. • It was fortunate she was so a me liable to Ids wishes, for no sooner tiad her steps ceased to be heard than Mr Sutherland rose from the easy chair in Which he had been seated and. putting out tlie lamp Widow Jones had insist ed on lighting, passed directly to the window, through which he began to peer witb looks of the deepest anxiety A man was coming up the road, a young man Frederick As Mr Suth crlaml recognized him he leaned for ward with increased anxiety till at the appe arnucc of ins sou in front his sent- tiny grew so strained and penetrating that it seemed to exercise a magnetic Influence upon the passerby, for when directly opposite the window Frederick Involuntarily roused from his abstrac tion and looked up. The glance be gave the house was but niumentary, hut in that glance the fulber saw all that he hud secretly dreaded. As his son’s eye fell on that tlutteriug bit of crape, tes tifying to another death In this already much bereaved community, he stagger ed wildly, then in a pause of doubt drew nearer and-nearer till Ids lingers grasped this symbol of mourning mid c'ung there. Next moment as far down the road, plunging toward home In a state of great mental disorder With sinking heart Mr. Sutherland let his eyes drop from this flying figure to Benrch for the man whom a little while before he bad seen following im mediately behind Ids son He was Col lowing him still and hastened by the house Just as Mr Sntliei land’s glance fell on 111111. so that whatever was otrange or pitiful in the foregoing scene must have hud (ids man for a witness. A hall hour afterward Mr Suther land rcjiclufd home. He had not uvet taken Frederick again or even Ids ne companying shadow Ascertaining at his own door that ids son had not yet come in. but had been seen going far ther up the hill, be turned back again Into the road and proceeded after him on foot. The next place to his own was occu pied by Mr. Hnlliduy. As tie approach ed it he caught sight of a man stand ing half in and half out of the honey suckle porch, whom he at first thought to he Frederick. But he soon saw that It was the fellow who had beei) follow ing his son ail the way from Porchcs- ter. and. controlling his first movement of dislike, he stepped up to him and quietly said: “Sweetwater, is this you?” Tlie young man fell back and showed a most extraordinary agitation, quickly suppressed, however. “Yes. sir: it is no one else. Do you know what I am doing here?” “I fear 1 do. You have been to Dor chester You have seen my son”— , Sweet water made a hurried, almost bu entreating, gesture. “Never mind that. Mr. Sutherland. I had rather you wouldn't say anything about that. I am as much broken up by what I have seen as you arc. I nev er suspected him. sir; only the girl to whom he lias so unfortunately attach ed himself. But after seeing him abandoned to grief in that place, over that grave, what am I to think? What am I to do? I honor you; I would not grieve you. but—but—oh. sir, perhaps you can help me out of the maze into which 1 have stumbled! Perhaps you can assure me that Mr. Frederick did not leave the hali at the time she did I missed him from among the dancers 1 did not see him between l‘J and 3. but perhaps you did. and—and” — His voice broke. He was almost as profoundly agitated as Mr. Sutherland As for the latter, who found himself unable to reassure the other on this very vital point, having uo remem brance himself of having scon Fred prick among Ids guests during those fatal hours, he stood speechless. !'>s< in abysses, the depth and horror <>• which only a father can nppm-iaie Sweetwater respected his anguish and for a moment was silent himself Then he burst out: “1 had rather never have lived to see this day than he the cause of shame or suffering to you. Tel! me what to do Shall I be deaf, dumb" — Here Mr Sutherland found voice, i “You make too much of what you saw,” said be. “My boy has faults and > \ cs lies under any suspicion. least of all your own." Mr Sutherland made an indefinable gesture, and Sweetwater again disap peared. tills time not to return. As lor Mr Sutherland, he remained standing before Mr. ilallidny’s door. What bad tlie young man meant by this emphatic repetition of his former suggestion? That he would lie quiet also and not speak of what he had that night seen? Why. then— But to the hope thus giv en this honest hearted gentleman would yield no quarter, and. seeing a duty be fore him. a duty he dare not shirk, he brought his emotions, violent as they were, into complete and absolute sub jection and, opening Mr. Halliday’s door, entered the house. They were old neighbors, and ceremony was Ig nored between them. Finding the hall empty and the par lor door open, he walked immediately into the latter room. The sight that juet his eyes never left his memory. Agnes, his little Agnes, whom he had always loved and whom he had vainly longed to call by the endearing name of daughter, sat witli her face toward him. looking up at Frederick. That young gentleman had just spoken to her. or she had just received something from his hand, for her own was held out. and her expression was one of gratitude and acceptance. She was not a beautiful girl, but she had a beautiful look, and at this moment it was exalted by a feeling tlie old gen tleman bad once longed, but now dreaded inexpressibly, to see there. What could it mean? Why did she show interest, devotion, passion al most. at this especial moment of her life, when in all the years that had gone by. and when it was tlie dearest wisli of his heart to see these two united, she bad never betrayed in all their intercourse anything but distrust, if not an ut easy dislike? It was one of the contradictions of our mysterious human mture. and at this crisis and in tins moment of secret heartbreak and miserable doubt it made the okigontle- man shrink, with his first feeling of actual despair. The next moment Agnes had risen, and they were botli facing him. "Good evening. Agnes.” Mr Sutherland forced himself to speak lightly. "Ah. Frederick, do I find you here?” The latter question had more of con straint in it. Frederick, with a slight flush suf fusing his chock, which had been only too pale until now. acknowledged his father's greeting with a smile in which that father was surprised to see a faint shade of relief if not of joy.

According to the latest returns, there are in Great Brit ain connected with Wesleyan Metho dism 19,bod lay njoachers as against ministers. Many of these, so far as this world’s goods are concerned, are very poor, and in order to help them, especially in old age, the Local Preachers’ Mutual Aid association was founded about half a century ago. The members of this association are drawn especially from the Wesleyan Metho dists, the Methodist Free churches and the New’ Connection. There are now 10,990 members.—Public Opinion. The Tw* Minute Trotter. When it is considered that the differ ence In distance required to matte the change is but 97 feet, or less than four strides of a horse in full trotting ac tion. or that a horse would have to gain but nine inches in every second in order to reach the coveted mark, it would seem that tlie rate of progress would be greater, but such is not the cose. To trot a mile in two minutes a horse would have to travel 44 feet a second. Cresceus at Columbus trotted 43.197 feet a second, striding 2G feet. It would seem a comparatively easy task to wipe out this difference, but it is almost a superhuman one.—Cincin nati Enquirer. Russia.
