By ANNA KATHARINE GREEN. [Copyright, 1897, by Anna K. Kohtfa.] CHAPTER XXXL RELIEF. The plan succeeded. Mr. Gryce’s plans usually do. William went imme diately to his room, and in a little while came down and hastened into the cellar. ‘ ‘ I want to see what mischief they have done,” said he. When he came back, his face was beaming. ‘‘All right,” he shouted to his sis ters, who had come into the hall to meet him. “Your secret’s oat, but”— “There, there!” interposed Loreeu, ‘‘you had better go up stairs and pre pare for supper. We must eat, Wil liam, or rather, Miss Butterworth must eat, whatever our sorrows or disappoint ments. ” He took the rebuke with a grunt and relieved us of his company. Little did he think us ho went whistling up the stairs that ho had just shown Mr. Gryco where to search for whatever might be lying under the broad sweep of that cel lar bottom. That night—it was after supper, which I did not eat for all my natural stoicism — Hannah came rushing in where we all sat silent, for the girls showed no disposition to enlarge their confidences in regard to their mother, and no other topic seemed possible, and, closing the door behind her, said quick ly and with evident chagrin: “Those men are here again. They say they forgot something. What do you think it means, MissLoreen? They have spades and lanterns and”— “They are the police, Hannah. If they forgot something, they have the right to return. Don’t work yourself up about that. The secret they have already found out was our worst. There is noth ing to fear after that.” And she dis missed Hannah, merely bidding her let us know when the house was quite clear. Was she right? Was there nothing worse for them to fear? I longed to leave these trembling sisters, longed to join the party below and follow with them the tiny impressions made by the tacks I had driven into William’s soles. If there was anything hidden under the cellar bottom, natural anxiety would have carried him to the spot he had to fear; so they would only have to dig at the places where those impressions took a sharp turn. But was there anything hidden there! From the sisters’ words and actions 1 judged there was nothing serious, but would they know? William was quite capable of deceiving them if he had the wit. Had he done so? It was a question. It was solved for us by Mr. Gryce’s reappearance in the room an hour or so later. From the moment the light fell upon his kindly features in the doorway I knew that I might breathe again free ly. It was not the face he showed in the house of a criminal, nor did his bow have any of that false deference in it with which ho sometimes tries to hide his secret doubt or contempt. ‘ ‘ I have come to trouble you for the last time, ladies. We have made a dou ble search through this house and through the stables and feel perfectly justified in saying that our duty hence forth will lead us elsewhere. The se crets we have surprised are your own, and if possi)4e shall remain so. Your brother’s propensity for vivisection and the return and death of your mother bear so little on the real question which interests this community that we may be able to prevent their spread as gossip through the town. That this may be done conscientiously, however, I ought to know something more of the latter circumstance. If Miss Butterworth will then be good enough to grant me a few’ minutes’ conference with these ladies, I may be able to satisfy myself so far as to let this matter rest where it is.” I rose with right good will. A«nouu- tain weight had been lifted from me, proof positive that I had really come to love these girls. What they told him, w’hother it was less or more than they told me, I cannot say, and for the moment did not know. That it had not shaken his faith in them was evident, for when he came out to where I was waiting in the hall his as pect was even more encouraging than it had been before. “No guile in those girls.” he whis pered, as he passed me. “The clew giv en by what seemed mysterious in this house has come to naught. Tomorrow we take up another. The trinkets found in Mother Jane’s cottage are something real. You may sleep soundly tonight, Miss Butterworth. Your part has been well done, but I know you are glad that it has failed. ” And I knew that I was glad, too, which is the best proof that there is something in me besides the detective instinct. The front door had scarcely closed be hind him when William came storming in. He had been gossiping over the fence with Mr. Trohm and had be6u beguiled into taking a glass of wine in his house. He showed it. “Those sneaks!” cried he. “I hear they’ve been back again, digging and stirring up our cellar bottom like mad. That’s because you’re so dreadful shy, you girls. You’re afraid of this, you’re afraid of that. You don’t want folks to know your mother once— Well, well, there it is now I If you had been willing that should be known, I would have been let alone and my affairs left un touched, but now every fool will cry out at me in this staid, puritanical old town, and all because a few bones have been found of animals which have died in the cause of science. Isay it’s all your fault I Not that I have anything to be ashamed of, because I haven’t, but be cause this other thing, this d——d wick ed series of disappearances, taking place for aught wokuow a dozen rods from our gates (though I think—but no matter what I think—you all like, or say you like, old Deacon Spear), has made every one so touchy in this Pharisaical town that to kill a fly has become a crime even if it is to save oneself from poi son. I’m going to see if I cannot make folks look askance at some other man than me. I’m going to find who or what causes these disappearances. ” This was a declaration to make us all stare and look a little bit foolish. Wil liam playing the detective! Well, what might I not live to see next! But the next moment an overpowering thought struck me. Might this Deacon Spear by any chance be the rich man whose ani mosity Althea Knollys had awakened? Thi« story will he contidOKfi in next Friday’s of The L g* r. TO CURE CORNS. A Few Remedien, Clieup mill Simple. iiiiiI InvolvinK •'*<» Dnnuer. When the feet are pressed Into tight fitting shoes—high heels make the pressure greater—by adding friction we have a needlelike point formed In the skin, and the greater the pressure the deeper the point will grow. The best preventive remedy known is real ly to go barefooted, but since this is not considered ethical In civilized life l will give a few simple remedies which may be of some value for the afflicted: First.—Place on the corn a piece of cold, moist linen folded several times, wrap it up in dry linen, then go to bed. With this treatment the' hard epider mis swells up, and after six or eight hours the outer covering of the corn can be removed with a dull knife. When this treatment has been followed for three or four days, a small needle like growth (the corn) can be extracted without pain or bleeding. By washing the feet often in cold water the tender place will heal rapidly. After getting rid of this corn it is well to wear shoes which are neither too large nor too small so as to avoid excessive pressure or friction. Second.—In place of the linen a crust of bread soaked in vinegar may be ap plied. Third.—The best application Is to soak a whole onion twenty-four hours In vinegar, tnen apply one of the layers of the onion to the corn and keep It in place by a bandage through the night. After repeating this procedure a few times the corn can be removed without any trouble. By either of these simple applications this troublesome agent can be removed without any danger of blood poison and “free of charge.”—St Louis Republic. Refractive Power of the Ruby. The primitive form of the spinel ruby is like that of the diamond, eight sided, which distinguishes it at once from the oriental stone. The color of the genuine ruby is that of the arte rial blood, or pigeon’s blood, as it is called. It is extremely hard and after the sapphire is the hardest of the corundums, which renders it difficult to understand why the earth so rarely gives it up. Its tint Is as beautiful by artificial light as by day, and its pow ers of reflection are so great that an cient belief credited it with power of emitting light. The ancients even sup posed that it would shine through clothing with undiminished power. Clerk’s Sale. Stats, os South Cahomna, » CHEHOKEE County. f Bank of Blacksburg vs W. A.
