CHATTEH XXII.
HOW HE WAS FOU.ED.
Impossible! Incredible!
Like a wave suddenly lifted the
whole assemblage rose in surprise if
tun in protest. But there was no out-
Tiursh The very depth of the feelings
evoked aiade all ebullition impossible,
iaad as one sees the billow pause ere it
breaks and gradually subside, so this
••.'rowd yielded to the awe within them
.and one by one sank back into their
seats till quiet was again restored and
»nly a circle of listening faces con
fronted the man who had just stirred
at whole roomful to its depths. Seeing
•'f ills and realizing his opportunity, Fred
erick at once entered Into the explana
tions for which each heart there paut-
»*«1.
"This will be overwhelming news to
’aim who has cared for me since in
fancy. You have heard him call me
son. With what words shall I over-
T.hrow his confidence in the truth and
rectitude of his long buried wife and
make him know in his old age that be
<m.s wasted years of patience upon one
who was not of his blood or lineage?
The wonder, the incredulity, you mani
fest are my best excuse for my long
delay in revealing the secret intrusted
u> me by this dying woman.”
An awed silence greeted these words.
Never was the interest of a crowd
more intense or its passions held in
jgret *r restraint. Yet Agues’ tears
'.Sowed lively and Amabel's smiles—
.veil, their expression had changed,
and to Sweetwater, who alone had eyes
for her now. they were surcharged
ovitli a tragic meaning strange to see
tu one of her callous nature.
Frederick's voice broke as he pro
ceeded in his self Imposed task:
"The astounding fact which l have
just communicated to you was made
known to me by my mother, with the
logger still plunged in her breast. She
would not let me draw it out She
anew that death would follow that act.
and site prized every moment remain
ing to her because of the bliss she en
joyed of seeing and having near her
lier only living child. The love, the
-oassion. the boundless devotion, site
allowed In those last few minutes
transformed me in au instant from a
nidlish brute into a deeply repentant
man. 1 knelt before her In anguish. I
nade her feel that, wicked as I had
;>eon. 1 was not the conscienceless
wretch she bad imagined and that she
was mistaken as to the motives which
led me into her presence And when
*aw by her clearing brow and peaceful
look that 1 bad fully persuaded her if
A
i 'i
ml
V
✓
*•7 gaw it to be the ebler of the two, John
Zahel.”
#bis I let her speak what words she
would, and tell, as she was able, the se
cret tragedy of her life.
"It is a sacred story to me, and If
jou must know It let it be from her
own words in the letters she left be
hind her. She only told me that to
.-save me from the fate of the children
•who had preceded me—the live little
v'.rls and boys who bad perished almost
.nt birth in her arms—she bad parted
from me in early infancy to Mrs. Suth
erland, then mourning the sudden
♦■death of her only child; that this had
5*een done secretly and under circum-
'^dances calculated to deceive Mr. Suth
erland, so that he had never known
tt was not his own child, and she en-
.fcoined me never to enlighten him if by
any sacrifice on my part I could right
fully avoid It; that she was happy in
having me hear the truth before she
died; that the Joy which this gave her
was so great that she did not regret
T**»r fatal act, violent and uncalled for
.fts It was, for It had showed her my
gkeart and allowed me to read hers.
Then she talked of my father, by whom
.1 mean be whom you call Philemon.
v*nd she made me promise 1 would care
"^or him to the last with tenderness,
saying that I would be aide to do this
without seeming impropriety, pince she
•Sad willed me all her fortune under
this proviso. Finally she gave me a
hry and. pointing out where the rest of
Aer money lay hidden, bade me carry it
i »\vay as her last gift, together with
the package of letters I would find
■rltb it. And when 1 had taken these
'n<1 given her back the key she told
.ne that hut for one thing she would
We happy, and, though her strength
»nd breath were fast falling her. sh<
Made me understand that she was wor
ded about the Znbels, who had not
*«mo. according to n sacred custom l»c-
ween them, to celebrate the annivei
vjiry of her wedding, and prayed me to
.'■see the two old gentlemen before I
.-‘lept, since nothing but death or dlr»
•distress would have kept them from
f^ratifvlne the one whim of mv father's
falling mind. I promised, h/id with
perfect peace In her face she pointed to
the dagger In her breast.
"Itiif before I could lay my hand upon
It she called for Patsy. 'I want her to
hear me declare before 1 go.' said she.
•that this stroke was delivered by my
self upon myself.’ But when 1 rose to
look for Patsy I found that the shock
of her mistress' fatal act had killed
her and that only her dead body was
lying across the window sill of the ad
joining room It was a chance that rob-
l»ed me of the only witness who could
testify to my innocence, in case my
presence in this bouse of death should
become known, and. realizing all the
danger in which it threw me, 1 did not
dare to tell my mother for fear It
would make her last moments miser
able. So I told her that the poor wom
an had understood what she wished,
but was too terrified to move or speak,
and this satisfied my mother and made
her last breath one of trust and con
tented love. She died as I drew the
dagger from her breast, and. seeing
this, 1 was seized with horror of the
Instrument which bad cost me such a
dear and valuable life and flung it
wildly from the window. Then I lifted
her and laid her where you found her,
on the sofa. That the dagger was
an old time gift of her former lover,
James Zabel. 1 did not know, much
less that it bore his initials on the
handle.”
He paused, and the awe occasioned
by the scene he had described was so
deep and the silence so prolonged that
a shudder passed over the whole as
semblnge when from some unknown
quarter a single, cutting voice arose In
il.is otie short, mocking comment;
“Oh. the fairy tale!”
Was it Amabel who ha 1 spoken?
Some yet thought so and looked her
way. but they only beheld a sweet, j
tear stained face turned with an air of
moving appeal upon Frederick as if
begging pardon for the wicked doubts
which had driven him to this defense.
Frederick met that look with one so
t 'vcre it partook of harshness. Then,
resuming his testimony, he said;
"it is of the Zabel brothers I must
now speak, and of how one of them,
.lames by name, came to be involved in
this affair
"When 1 left my new found mother.
I was in such a state of mind that !
j passed the toot'i in which my new
oinid f:;i!iet sat sleeping, with scarcely
o much as a glance But as 1 hasten-
1 on toward the quarter where the
Ztthels lived some compi'iietions of p!ty
or his desolate state caused me to tal
ler in my rapid flight, so that 1 did not
each the house quite as quickly as I
might otherwise have done. When i
did, I found it dark, as l might reason-
bly have expected; hut. remembering
he extreme anxiety which my mother
had shown in their regard, even in her
dying moments. I approached the front
door and was about to knock when !
found it open Greatly astonished, I at
once passed In and. seeing my way
perfectly In the moonlight, entered the
room on the left, the door of which also
stood open. It was the second house I
had entered unannounced that night,
and in this, as in the other, I encoun
tered a man sitting asleep by the table.
“Going up to him. 1 saw It to be the
elder of * two, John Zalrel, and. per
ceiving Ui<n. be was suffering for food
and in it condition of extreme misery, 1
took out the first bill my band eneoin.-
tered in my overfull pockets and mid it
on the table by bis side. As 1 did so be
gave a sigh, but did not wake; and. sat
isfied that 1 had done all that was wise
and all that even my mother would ex
pect of me under the circumstances,
and fearing to encounter the other
brother if I lingered. I hastened away
and took the shortest path home. Had
I been more of a man, or If my visit to
Mrs. Webb had been actuated by a
more communicable motive. L would
have gone at once to the good man
who believed me to be of bis own flesh
and blood and told him of the strange
and heartrending adventure which had
changed the whole tenor of my
thoughts and life and begged bis ad
vice as to what I had better do under
the difficult circumstances In which I
found myself placed. But the memory
of a thousand past Ingratitudes, to
gether with the knowledge of the shock
which lie could not fail to receive on
learning at tills late day and under con
ditions at once so tragic and full of
menace that the child which his long
buried wife had once placed In his
arms as ills own was neither of her
blood or bis, rose up between us and
caused me not only to attempt silence,
but to secrete In the adjoining woods
the money I had received In the vain
hope that all visible connection be
tween myself and my mother’s tragic
death would thus be lost. You see, l
had not calculated on Miss Amabel
I’age.”
The flash he here received from that
Indy’s eyes startled the crowd and gave
Sweetwater, already suffering under
shock after shock of mingled surprise
and wonder, bis first definite Idea that
he had never rightly understood the re
lations between these two and that
something liesides Justice had actuated
Amabel In her treatment of this young
man. This feeling was shared by oth
ers, and a reaction set in In his favor
which even affected the officials who
were conducting the Inquiry. This was
shown by the difference of manner now
assumed by the coroner and by the
more easily Impressed Sweetwater,
who had not yet learned the Indispen
sable art of hiding his feelings. Fred
erick himself felt the change and show
ed It by the look of relief and growing
confidence be cast at Agnes.
Of the questions and answers which
now passed between him and the vari
ous members of the Jury I need give no
account. They but emphasized facts
already known and produced but little
change in the general feeling, which
was one now of suppressed pity for all
who had been drawn Into the meshes
of this tiagi - mystery. # \Vlien he was
allowed to resume his seat, the uuue*
of Ml s Ania' il I’aire was n"a!n called
She rose with a ImhumI. Naught that
site bad ante Ipnted h:|d occurred: facts
of which s'lc could know iintldug luul
changed the aspect of a .''.'airs and made
the position of Frederick something so
remote from any she could have imag
Ined that she was still In the maze of
the numberless contlieting emotions
which these rcvelath ns were caleulat
ed to call out in one who had risked all
on the hazard of a die and lost. She
did not even know at this moment
whether she was glad or sorry he could
explain so cleverly Ids anomalous posi
tion She had caught the look be bad
cast at Agnes, and. while this angered
her, it did not greatly modify her opiu
ion that be was destined for herself,
for. however other people might feel,
she did not for a moment believe bis
story. She bad not a pure enough heart
to do so. To her all self sacrifice was
an anomaly.
No woman of the mental or physical
strength of Agatha Webb would plant
a dagger in her own breast just to pre
vent another person from committing
a crime, were be lover, husband or son.
So she believed and so would these
others also when once relieved of his
magnetic personality. Yet how thrill
ing it had been to boar him plead bis
cause so well, so thrilling it was al
most worth the loss of her revenge to
meet Ids look of bate and dream of the
possibility of turning it later into the
old look of love. Yes. yes. she loved
him now, not for Ids position, for that
was gone; not even for Ids money, for
she could contemplate its loss, but for
himself who had so boldly shown that
be was stronger than she and could
triumph over her by the sheer force of
his masculine daring.
With such feelings, what should she
say to these men? How conduct her
self under questions which would be
much more searching now than before?
She could not even decide In her own
mind. She must let impulse La/e its
way.
Happily she took the right stand at
first. She did not endeavor to make
any corrections in her former testi
mony. only acknowledged that the
flower whose presence on the scene of
death had been such a mystery had
fallen from her hair at tin* ball and
that she had seen Frederick pick it up
and put it in his buttonhole. Beyond
this and the inferences it afterward
a wakened in her mind she would not
go. though many present, and among
them Frederick, felt confident that her
attitude hud been one of suspicion from
*he first and that it was to follow him
rather than to supply the wants of the
old men. the Zahels. she had left the
ball and found her way to Agatha
Webb’s cottage.

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition: beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that It is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when It should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble Is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold
by druggists, In fifty-
cent and one dollar
sizes. You may have a
sample bottle by mail
free, also pamphlet tell- Hom« of Swamp-Root,

thousands ~ of testimonial letters received
from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer
