CHAPTER I.
“miHDER!”
T IE dance was over. From ths
great house on the bill the
guests had all departed, and
ouly the musicians remained.
As they Died out through the ample
doorway, with their lustruments under
their arms, the first faint streak of
early dawn became visible In the east.
Oue of them, a lank, plain featured
youug man of uugalnly aspect, but
penetrating eye, called the attention of
the others to It.
‘ Look!” said he. “There Is the day
light! This has been a gay night for
Sutherlaudtowu.”
“Too gay,” muttered another, start
ing aside as the slight figure of a young
umu coming from the house behind
them rushed hastily by. “Why, who’s
that?” '
As they one and all had recognized
the person thus alluded to, no one an
swered till he had dashed out of the
gate and disappeared in the woods on
the other side of the road. Then they
all spoke at once.
“It’s Mr. Frederick!”
“He seems in a desperate hurry.”
“He trod on my toes.”
“Did you hear the words he was
muttering as he went by?”
As only the last question was calcu
lated to rouse au interest. It alone re
ceived attention.
“No; what were they? I heard him
say something, but I did not catch the
words.”
“He wasn’t talking to you or me,
either, but 1 have ears that can hear an
eye wluk. He said, ‘Thank God, this
terrible night is over!’ Think of that!
After such a dance and such a spread,
he calls this night terrible and thanks
God that It Is over. I thought he was
oue to eujoy this kind of thing more
than most folks.”
“So did I.”
“And so did I.”
The five musicians exchanged looks,
then huddled iu a group at the gate.
“He has quarreled with his sweet
heart,” suggested one.
“I’m not surprised at that,” declared
another. “I never thought it would be
u match."
“Shame If it were!” muttered the
uugalnly youth who had spoken first.
As the subject of this comment was
the sou of the gentleman whose house
they were Just leaving they necessarily
spoke low, but their toues were rife
with curiosity aud it was evident that
the topic deeply interested them. One
of the five who had not previously
spoken now put iu a word.
I saw him when he first led out
Miss Page to dance, and I saw him
again when he stood up opposite her
in the last quadrille, and I tell you,
boys, there was a mighty deal of dif
ference in the way he looked at her
the last time from what he did the
first. You wouldn't have thought him
the same muu. Reckless young fel
lows like hlu are not to be caught by
dimples only. They waut cash.”
Or family, at least, and she hasn’t
either. But what a pretty girl she Is!
Some fellow as rich as be aud os well
connected would be satisfied with her
good looks alone.”
“Good looks!” High scorn was ob
servable In this exclamation, which
was made by the young man who I
have before characterized as ungainly.
I refuse to acknowledge that she has
any good looks. On the contrary, I
consider her plain.”
Oh, oh!” burst In protest from more
than one mouth. “And why does she
have every fellow In the room dangling
after her, then?” asked the player on
the yellow flageolet ^
“But she hasn’t a regular feature.
“What difference does that make
when It isn’t her features you notice,
but herself.”
“I don’t like her.”
A laugh followed this.
“That won’t trouble her, Sweetwater.
Sutherland does, if you don’t, and
that’s much more to the point And
he’ll marry her yet He can’t help It
Why, she’d witch the devil Into lead
ing her to the altar If she took a no
tion to hare him for her bridegroom."
“There would be consistency In
that,” muttered the fellow Just ad
dressed. “But, Mr. Frederick”—
“Hush l There’s some one on the
doorstep. Why, It’s she!”
They all glanced back. The grace
ful figure of a young girl dressed in
white was to be seen leaning toward
them from the open doorway. Behind
her shone a blaze of light—tbe candles
not having been yet extinguished In the
hall—and against this brilliant back
ground her slight form, with all Its be
witching outlines, stood out In plain
relief. There was an anxious bend
to It, however, which noue of them had
ever observed In It before.
“Who was that?” she began In a
high, almost strident voice, totally ont
of keeping with the sensuous carves of
her strange, sweet face. But the ques
tion remained Incomplete, as well as
unanswered, tor at that moment her
attention, as well as that of the men
lingering at the gate, was attracted
by the sound of hurrying feet and con
fused cries coming up the bill.
“Murder, murder!” was the word
panted out by more than one harsh
voice, and In another Instant a dozen
men and boys came rushing Into Sight
in a state of such excitement that the
five musicians recoiled from tne gate,
and one of them went so far as to start
buck toward the house. As he did so
he noticed a curious thing. The young
woman whom they had all perceived
standing lu the door a moment before
had vanished, yet she was known to
profess the keenest curiosity of any
oue In town.
“Murder, murder!” A terrible aud
unprecedented ery lu this old, God
fearing town. Then came In bourse
explanation from the Jostling group
as they stopped at the gate: “Mrs.
Webb has been killed! Stabbed with
a knife! Tell Mi. Sutherland!”
¥Ob Wfbfei” -.
At the musicians beard this name, so
honored and so universally beloved,
they to a man uttered a cry, Mrs.
Webb! Why, It was Impossible.
Shouting In their turn for Mr. Suther
land, they all crowded forward.
“Not Mrs. Webb!” they protested.
“Who could have the darlug or the
heart to kill her?” “God knows,” an
swered a voice from the highway. “But
she’s dead—we’ve Just seen her!”
“Then It’s the old man’s work,” qua
vered a piping voice well known as
that of the village shoemaker’s. “I’ve
always said he would turn on his best
friend some day. ’Sylum’s the best
place for folks as has lost their wits.
I”-
But here a hand was put over his
mouth, and the rest of the words be
came an inarticulate gurgle. Mr. Suth
erland had just appeared ou the porch,
and these were not men to let their
voices be beard in his presence.
He was a superb looking man, with
an expression of mingled kindness and
dignity that Invariably awakened both
awe aud admiration In the spectator.
No man In the country—1 was going to
say no woman—was more beloved, nor
was any held in higher esteem. Yet he
could not control his ouly son, as every
one within ten miles of the hill well
knew.
At this moment his face showed both
pain and shock.
“What name are you shouting out
there?” be brokenly demanded. “Ag
atha Webb.”
“Is Agatha Webb hurt?”
"Yes, sir; killed,” repeated a half
dozen voices at once. “We’ve Just
eorue from the bouse. All the town Is
up. Some say her husband did it.”
“No, no!” was Mr. Sutherland’s de
cisive, though half inaudible response.
“Philemon Webb might end his own
life, but not Agatha’s. It was the
money”—
Here he caught himself up, and, rais
ing his voice, addressed the crowd of
villagers more directly.
“Wait,” said he, “and I will go back
with you. Where Is Frederick?” he
demanded of such members of his own
household as stood about him.
No one knew.
“1 wish some one would find my
son. I w ant him to go Into town with
me.”
“He’s over In the woods there,” vol-
-unteered a voice from without
“In the woods 1” repeated the father
In a surprised tone.
“Yes, sir; we all saw him go. Shall
we sing out to him?”
“No, no; I will manage very well
without him.” And taking up his bat
Mr. Sutherland stepped out again upon
the porch.
Suddenly he stopped. ▲ hand had
been laid on bis arm and on Insinuat
ing voice was murmuring In his ear:
“Do you mind if I go with you? 1
will not make any trouble.”
It was the same young lady we have
seen before.
The old gentleman frowned, he who
never frowned, and remarked shortly:
“A scene of murder Is no place for
women.”
The face upturned to his remained
unmoved.
“I think 1 will go,” she quickly per
sisted. “I can easily mingle with the
crowd.”
He said not another word against It

but for tba last few weeks no one bad
undertaken to contradict her. In the
Interval since her first appearance on
the porch she bad exchanged the light
dress In wbiph she had danced at the
ball for a darker and much more serv
iceable one, and perhaps this token of
her determination may have bad Its
Influence in silencing him. He Joined
the crowd, and together they moved
down bill. This-was too much for the
servants of the house. One by one
they, too, left the house till It stood ab
solutely empty. Jerry snuffed out the
candles and shut the front door, but
the side entrance stood wide open, and
Into this entrance, as the last footstep
died out on tha hillside, passed a slight
and resolute figure. It was that of*tbe
musician who had questioned Miss
Page's attractions.
/ CHAPTER II.
ft BLOOJDT SLEET*.
Sutherland town Was a seaport. The
village, which waa a small oue, con
sisted of one long street running par
allel with the coast and numerous
cross streets running down from the
hillside and ending on the wharfs.
On oue of the corners thus made stood
the Webb house, with Its front door
on the main street and Ra side door
on one of the hillside laues. As the
group of mftn and boys who had been
lu search of Mr. Sutherland entered
this last mentioned lane they could
pick out this J^nae from all the others,
as It was the only one In which i) light
was still burning. Mr. Sutherland lost
no time In entering upon the seene of
ttio JMuh MMb (Wur«
emerged from the darkness and paused
on the outskirts of the crowd blooklug
up every entrance to the house, a mur
mur of welcome went up. after which
a way was made for him to the front
door.
But before he could enter some one
plucked him'by the sleeve.
"Look up!” whispered a voice Into
bis ear.
He did so and saw a woman's body
hanging half out of an upper window.
It hung limp, and the sight made him
sick notwithstanding his threescore
years of experience.
“Who’s that?” he cried. “That’s not
Agatha Webb’s head aud shoulders.”
“No, It’s Batsy, the cook. She’s dead
too. We left her where we found
her for the coroner to see.”
“But this Is horrible!” murmured Mr.
Sutherland. “Has there been a butch
er here?"
As he uttered these words he felt an
other quick pressure on his arm. Look
ing down, he saw leaning against him
the form of a young woman, but l>efore
he could address her she had started
upright again and was moving on with
the throng. It was Miss I’age.
“It was the sight of this woman
hanging from the window which first
drew attention to the house,” volun
teered a man who was standing as a
sort of guardian at the main gateway.
“Some of the sailors’ wives who had
been to the wharfs to see their hus
bands off on the ship that sailed at day
break saw it ns they came up the lane
ou their way home aud gave the alarm.
Without that we might not yet have
known what had happened.”
“But Mrs. Webb?”
“Come in and see.”
There wap a board fence about the
simple yard within which stood the
humble house forever after to be point
ed out as the scene of Sutherland-
town’s most heartrending tragedy. In
this fence was a gate, aud through this
gate now passed Mr. Sutherland and
his would be companion, Miss Page.
A path bordered by lilac bushes led the
way to the house, the door of which
stood xvlde open. As soon as Mr.
Sutherland entered upon this path a
man appeared from the house and
came directly toward him. It waa
Amos Fenton, the constable.
“Ah, Mr. Sutherland,” said he, “sad
business, a very Bad business! But
what little girl have you there?”
“This is Miss Page, my housekeeper's
niece. She would come. Inquisitive
ness, the cause. I do not approve of
It.”
“Miss Page must remain on the door
step. We allow no one Inside except
ing yourself,” be said respectfully, iu
recognition of the fact that nothing of
Importance was ever undertaken in
Sutherlandtown without the presence
of Mr. Sutherland.
Miss Page courtesied, looking so be
witching In the fresh morning light
that the tough old constable scratched
his chin in grudging admiration. But
he did not reconsider his determination.
Seeing this, she accepted her defeat
gracefully and moved aside to where
the bushes offered her more or less pro
tection from the curiosity of those
about her. Meanwhile Mr. Sutherland
had stepped into the bouse.
He found himself In a small hall
with a staircase,iu front and an open
door at the left On the threshold of
this open door a man stood, who-at
sight of him doffed his hat Passing
by this man, Mr. Sutherland entered
the room beyond. A table spread with
eatables met bis view, beside which, in
an attitude which struck him at the
moment as peculiar, sat Philemon
Webb, the well known master of the
house.
Astonished at seeing bis old friend In
this room and In such a position, be
was about to address him when Mr.
Fenton stopped him.
“Walt!” said he. “Take a look at
poor Philemon before you disturb him.
He was sitting Just as you see him
when we broke into the house a half

hour ago, and we have let him be for
reasons you can easily appreciate. Ex
amine him closely, Mr. Sutherland; he
won’t notice It.”
"But what alls him? Why does he
sit crouched against the table? Is be
hurt, too?"
“No; look at his eyes.”
Mr. Sutherland stopped and pushed
aside the long gray locks that half con
cealed the countenance of his aged
friend.
“Why,” he cried startled, "they are
closed! He isn’t dead?”
“No; he is asleep.”
“Asleep?”
“Yes. He was asleep when we came
In and he is asleep yet. Some of the
neighbors wanted to awakfe him, but 1
would not let them. Ills wits are not
Strong enough to (tear a sudden shock."
“No, no, poor Philemon! But that he
should sit sleeping here while she—but
what do these bottles mean and this
parade of supper in the room they were
not accustomed to eat lu?”
“We don’t know-. It has not been
eaten, you aee. He has swallowed a

glass of port, but that Is all. The other
glasses bnvc,kud no wine In them, nor
have the victuals been touched?’ *
“Seats for three and only one occu
pied." murmured Mr. Htffihertaud.
"Strange! Could he -have exfiectCd
guests?" ' .*•
“It looks like It. 1 don’t know that
his wife allowed him such privileges.
But she was always too good to him
and I fear lurs paid for It with her
life.”
“Nonsense! He never killed her.
Had his love been anythftig short of
the worship it was, he stood In too
much awe of her to lift Lis baud
against her, even iu his most demented
moments.”
“I don’t trust men of uncertain wits,”
returned the other. “You have not no
ticed everything that Is to be seen In
this room.”
Mr. Sutherland, recalled to his duty
by these words, looked quickly about
him. With the exception of the table
aud what was on and by It there was
nothing else in the room. Naturally
his glance returned to Philemon Webb.
“1 don’t see anything but this poor
sleeping man,” he began.
“Look at his sleeve.”
Mr. Sutherland, with a start, again
bent down. The arm of his old friend
lay crooked upon the table, and on Its
blue cotton sleeve there was a smear
which might have been wine but whleb
was—blood.
As Mr. Sutherland became assured of
this, he turned slightly pale and looked
Inquiringly at the two men who were
Intently watching him.
“This is bad,” said he. “Any other
marks of blood below stairs?”
“No. That one smear Is all.”
“Oh, Philemon!” burst from Mr.
Sutherland iu deep emotion. Then as
he looked long and shudderlngly at his
friend he added slowly:
“He lias been In the room where she
was killed, so much is evident. But
that he understood what was done
there 1 cannot believe or he would not
be sleeping here like a log. Come, let
us go upstairs.”
Fenton, with an admonitory gesture
toward his subordinate, turned directly
toward the staircase. Mr. Sutherland
followed him, and they at once pro
ceeded to the upper hall and Into the
large front room, which had been the
scene of the tragedy.
It was the pui'lor or sitting room of
this small and unpretentious house. A
rag carpet covered the floor, and the
furniture was of the plainest kind, but
the woman who lay outstretched ou the
stiff old fashioned lounge opposite the
door was far from being in accord with
the homely type of her surroundings.
Though the victim of a violent death,
her face and form, both of a beauty
seldom to be found among women of
any station, were so majestic In their
calm repose that Mr. Sutherland, as-
customed as he was to her noble ap
pearance, experienced a shock of sur
prise that found vent in these words:
"Murdered! She? You have made
some mistake, my friends. Look at
her face!”
But even in the act of saying this his
eyes fell on the blood which had dyed
her cotton dress, and he cried:
“Where was she struck and where is
the weapon which made this ghastly
wound?"
“She waa struck w’blle standing or
sitting at tliis table,” returned the con
stable, pointing to two or three drops
of blood ou Its smooth surface. “The
weapon we have not found, but the
wound shows that it was inflicted by a
three sided dagger.”
“A three sided dagger?”
“Yes.”
“I didn't know there was such a
thing in town. Philemon could hav«
had no dagger.”
“It does not seem so, but one can
never tell. Simple cottages like these
often contain the most unlooked for ar
ticles.”
Mr. Sutherland thought of what this
cottage did contain and scrutinized thr
constable closely. But the latter show
ed no discomposure.
“I cannot Imagine a dagger being
among Its effects,” he pursued. “Where
was the body of Mrs. Webb lying when
you came in?”
“Where you see It now. Nothing has
been moved or changed.”
"She was found here, on this lounge,
In the same position in which we see
her now?”
“Yes, sir.”
“But that Is Incredible.' Look at the
way she lies! Hands crossed, eyes
closed, us though made ready for her
burial. Ouly loving hands could have
done this. What does It mean?”
“It means Philemon; that Is what It
means, Philemon.”
Mr. Sutherland shuddered, blit said
nothing. He was dumfouuded by these
evidences of a carzy man’s york.
Philemon Webb always seemed so
harmless, though he had been fulling
in mind for the last ten years.
“But,” cried Mr. Sutherland suddenly
rousing, “there is another victim. I
saw old woman Batsy hanging from a
window ledge, dead.”
“Yes; she Is In this other room; but
there is no wound on Batsy.”
“How was she killed, then?"
“That the doctors must tell us.”
Mr. Sutherland, gtihUed by Mr. Fen
ton’s gesture, entered a small room
opening Into the one In which they
stood. His attention was at once at
tracted by the body of the woman he
had seen from below, lying half In and
half out of the open window. That she
was dead was evident; but, as Mr.
Fenton had said, no wound was to be
seen upon her, nor were there any
marks of blood ou or about the place
where she lay.
"This Is a dreadful business,” groan
ed Mr. Sutherland, “tho worst I have
ever bad anything to do with. Help
me to lift the woman In; she has been
long enough a show for the people out
side.”
There was a bed in this room; Indeed,
It was Mrs. Webb’s Itedrooin, and
Upon this poor Batsy was laid. As the
face came uppermost both gentlemen
started and looked at each other in
amazement The expression of terror
and alarm which It showed was In
striking contrast to the look of exal
tation to be aeen ou the face of her
dead mistress.
