Descending to trie ca DID, almost me
first individual whcin he met was Mar?
vel, and Mr. Barnes, approaching him,
addressed him as follows:
"Mr. Marvel, I believe?"
"That is my name, bnt yon are a
stranger to me, "
"Mr. Marve], I have a very unpleas?
ant duty to perform and hope you will
pardon me if I proceed at once to ex?
plain, as I fear that the captain may
sail at any minute. "
"You cannot explain too quickly to
suit me, " replied Marvel
"Mr. Marvel, how long is it since
you left Wadley*s Falls?"
"Why do you ask?"
4 'Please answer me firsi, and I prom?
ise full explanation afterward. "
"That arrangement does not suit me.
You are a stranger to me-I do not even
know how it is that you are acquainted
with my name--and I therefore deny
that you have any right to question
me."
"Mr. Marvel, I am a detective."
"Well?"
"A murder has been committed at
Wadley's Falls, and"-Mr. Barnes
paused to note the effect jof his words,
but Marvel seemed turned to stone, he
was so impassive-"will you venture to
guess who the victim is?"
"John Lewis!" said Marvel in a
hoarse whisper. He dropped into a
chair and buried his face in his hands.
His trouble seemed so poignant that for
some minutes Mr. Barnes could not find
it in his heart to disturb him. Finally,
however, realizing that time was pre?
cious, he said:
'. "Mr. Marvel, will you return with
me to Lee?"
"Why should I?" answered Marvel,
looking up suddenly, aroused by the
question.
"Because it may be necessary for you
to prove your whereabouts on that night
in order to disarm suspicion, and"
"Do you mean to accuse me of this
crime?" said Marvel vebemently
"I never make an accusation till I
have positive proof," returned Mr.'
Barnes, "and that 1 have not in this
case-at least not yet I advise you to
keep your temper and be guarded in
what you say, for your words may be
used against you. "
"You are insolent! How dare you
speak to me in that way?" ,
"Come, Mr. Marvel; time presses.
Will you accompany me peaceably?"
"Do you mean as your prisoner?"
**No. Let us say as a witness." But
at that word Marvel recoiled and seem?
ed alarmed. All the anger departed
from his voice as Lo said:
"Have you a warrant fer my arrest?
Can you force me to go?"
Mr. Barnes shook his head negatively,
and Marvel heaved a sigh of relief as
he muttered: "Thea I will not go. I
cannot. I cannot"
Mr. Barnes was nonplused. He had
counted on finding Marvel willing-nay,
anxious-to return as scon as he should
know that there was any possibility of
his beingjimplicated in the crime. But
what was he to do now that he refused
to go back? He could not compel him
without a ?warrant, and that he not on?
ly did not have, but could not procure
before the vessel would sail. He deter?
mined to try to induce the captain to
delay starting, though with little hope
cf success, remembering how surly he
had just shown himself. As he antici?
pated, the master declared that he
would not change his plans.
Seeing that nothing was to be accom?
plished in this way, Mr. Barnes sought
the cabin, hoping even yet to persuade
Marvel that his bes? course was to ac?
company him, since if he were guilty
he could not hope to escape extradition,
which would be very simple, his desti?
nation being known, while if innocent
it was hi3 duty to return and assist in
clearing up the matter, thus removing
all doubt
He found Marvel sitting where he
had left him, staring vacantly before
bira. He was so absorbed in thought
that the detective was obliged to touch
He icent aboard a schooner lying there.
him to attract attention, and then, be?
fore Mr. Barnes could say a word, Mar?
vel exclaimed:
"Is it you? I am glad. I will go back
with you."
"You will go back with me?" Mr.
Barnes was much surprised at this sud?
den change.
" Yes. I am sorry now that I refused
at first I see that it is the best course
to pursue. Yet I had reasons that
seemed to me at the first moment of my
sri mri se to be unanswerable and which
H--p----- I wanta--B
led to my decision. 1 am now ready ana
anxious to accompany you."
Mr. Barnes scrutinized Marvel close?
ly to determine whether this were a
genuine or an assumed manner, fie was
puzzled.
"I am glad," said he, "that you will
go peaceably. You save mo a great deal
of trouble. I would ha-.e taken you
back, even though it had been neces?
sary to get a warrant and follow you to
sea in a tug. Then you would have been
under arrest. Now, since you offer no
resistance, you shall receive every con?
sideration. I will take you back as a
fitness."
|*I will non go with you as a witness,
.'will submit to arrest, though you
have no warrant, but if I go with you
it must be as your prisoner."
"As you please. It matters not, so
long as you return."
Dir. Barnes and Marvel left Ports?
mouth on the first train available and
reached Wadley's Falls the next morn?
ing. While on the train ?Mr. Barnes
found an opportunity to be alone in the
smoking car long enough to piece to?
gether the fragments of the letter which
he had picked up when thrown away
by Marvel- With mucilage which he
had procured at Porstmouth he pasted
each piece to another sheet so that
finally the lettsr was once more legible.
It read as follows:
After thc events of last night it is best that
you leave the country. Do so without delay.
It would be madness to think of marriage now.
Farewell! VIRGIE.
After studying this for a long time
Mr. Barnes was forced io admit that
the whole affair was as great a mystery
as ever.
CHAPTER V.
THE TWO GIRLS.
Virginia Lewis, though living in
New England, would never be mistaken
for a native of that section. She lacked
the phlegmatic temperament of the peo?
ple about her, notwithstanding the fact
that she had been reared among them.
Her environment had undoubtedly af?
fected her character to the extent that
outwardly she moved, spoke and acted
like her neighbors. But there was a cer?
tain suppressed emotion, always distin?
guishable, however well controlled,
that bespoke a birthplace in a warmer
clime. However mildly she might ad?
dress her friends.- and there were few
of gentler speech, the slightest antago?
nism betrayed by any one .present would
be met with an instantaneous answer?
ing flash of her lustrous dark eyes,
which betokened danger if the subject
were pursued. Not one, not even those
most dear to her, had the courage to
take liberties of conversation or of act
with Virginia Lewis. Nevertheless, she
was the best beloved and most popular
young woman in the township. Half
the young men the country round were
her admirers, ready to become obedient
servitors in exchange for a friendly nod.
Barer still, she had no enemies among
the women folk.
She was not beautiful, yet by many
called sa I thin}: this was because of
tba marvel of her eyes, which, aharays
brilliant and eyer restlessly moving, as
though to absorb all about her, attract?
ed with a fascination or magnetism
which none resisted. It was no wonder
that the rays cf genuine intelligence
shed by those orbs should have been mis?
taken for beauty, for, after all, it is ex?
pressiveness rather than symmetry of
lineament which men most admire in a
woman.
When at rest, there wera hard, set
lines about tho mouth wh;ch, to thc
physiognomist, unmistakable prcclaim
ed^her possession cf that excessive will
power and dogged persistence which
Squire Olney &d truly mentioned as
characteristic traits. Mr. Barnes had said
that he would not expect to surprise her
again into a betrayal of herself or her
purposes, and in this he shewed a keen
percepci?n.
She had been very much startled by
the abrupt entrance of the two men and
their subsequent announcement that
they were detectives. She noticed that
Mr. Barnes had kept the empty car?
tridge shell which had dropped from her
lap, but; in the moment of her surprise
she had not time to decide upon the
best course consistent with whatever
purpose she was benn upon accomplish?
ing. When they left her, she sat down
and meditated for some time. Present?
ly she arose, and it waseviden : that her
plan had been formulated. She took the
pistol from the cabinet, where Mr.
Barnes shrewdly guessed that it was.
Whatever had been her reason for re?
moving the shell which Mr. Barnes had
taken it was plain that she now consid?
ered her purpose unattainable. Opening
tho drawer cf her bureau, she took
therefrom a small mahogany bcx, which
she unlocked. In it were seveial paste?
board packages cf bail cartridges. One,
however, contained shells which had
been exploded. She next withdrew a
cartridge from the pistol, and in its
stead inserted an empty shell, being
careful to sec that the hammer exactly
rested upon the indentation in the rim.
Thus it is evident that if she had re?
moved from this pistol the empty shell
which Mr. Barnes had picked up she
must have reloaded the weapon prior to
his entrance. Now she was restoring it
to its original condition. She threw tho
pistol on the bed, as though desirous
that it should te readily found.
Next she opened a drawer of the cab?
inet and took out two pieces c.: folded
paper. Ono of these was a duplicate of
that found by the detectives, bearing
the words, "If I am dead in the morn?
ing, my murderer is -," except
that, as Mr. Barnes had guessed, this
one bore a name, the sentence being
completed. Virginia scrutinize d this
for some moments, sighed deeply and
refolded it. The other was also a half
sheet and bore a few lines addressed to
herself. She read this several times and
then folded it also, placing both papers
in her dress.
Approaching tho dcor which commu?
nicated with the parlor, she listened at?
tentively for a few moments and then
entered tn at apartment, which was
empty, tho detectives, by this time, hav?
ing gone out upon the lawn. Peeping
from the window, careful that she her?
self should be hidden from sight by the
curtains, she saw Mr. Barnes and Bur
?
rows near the summer house. She
watched them until they were again
approaching the house, whereupon she
returned to her own room. Here she re?
mained till the detectives had made the
map of the grounds and again sallied
! forth toward the river. This time she
! watched them from the window of her
J own room and realized from their ac
! tions that they were studying the foot
j prints between the house and the river.
! She also^saw them get in the boat and
' cross thcrriver.
j Once more she entered the parlor,
i One would think from her repeated vis
I its to tho place where lay thc dead body
; that it had some fascination for her. As
! though, indeed, this were the case, she
j went straight to where it lay and, bend
I ing down, gazed at ^intently. Especial
! ly did she lock upon the disfigured face.
! Finally she turned her attention to th&
j hand and examined a ring on one fin
! ger. This seemed to satisfy her. In ris
! ing sho stepped cn the hem cf her dreo
j and fell to her knees, striking against
j the corpse, which was thus slightly
! turned over. This action brought into
j view the other hand, which before had
j been under the body. She shuddered as
i ehe jumped up, and then, noticing that
j the fist was doubled up tight, her curi
! osity was aroused, and she determined
j to investigate further. She endeavored
i to open the fingers, and, though they
! were tightly clinched, she at length
' succeeded in relaxing two. This enabled
j her not only to see that there was some
: thing within the dead man's grasp, but
; also to withdraw it. This done, she evi
I dently had enough of the company of
j the corpse, for sho hurried to the next
I room and hastily closed the door after
i her.
j She then examined the article which
j she had just obtained and found it to be
j a small gold locket. Opening it, she saw
I that it contained a miniature of herself
j which had been made when she was yet
j a child.
She was evidently disturbed at the
! discovery, for she gazed at it long and
; earnestly. Perhaps her conscience
j troubled her, and the thought came to
her that even at the moment when he
was killed her uncle had just been look?
ing at this picture of herself, thinking
of the time when, a young and attract?
ive child, she ?had been his idol, and
then of the past week, when, before all
their friends, they had antagonized
j their wills. She threw herself on the
I bed, buried her face in her hands, and
j for some minutes she sobbed like one in
I dire distress. Presently, rising from her
recumbent position, controlling her
emotions by an effort of will, she first
! hid the locket in her dress, as she had
done with the letters, and then bathed
her face and went to the window. She
looked toward the summer house, but
saw nothing of the detectives. Turning,
she hurriedly put on her bat, arranged
her toilet and started out from the house
in the direction of the postorfice.
She thought that she had avoided tho
observation of the detectives, but in
this, as she herself subsequently sus?
pected, she was mistaken.4 Beaching
the bridge, she noticed the beat, and as
she had last seen the two men entering
it she concluded that they were now in
the vicinity, though she did not yet
guess that they had followed her. As
she passed the saloon, however, she
caught a glimpse of Burrows, and as ho
immediately withdrew, so as to hide
himself from her view, she at once de?
cided that he was there to watch her
movements. Thus she was compelled to
abandon her project of mailing the let?
ter herself, which had been her object
in coming out. She went on to the
house of the Marvels.
Being on terms cf closest intimacy
with the inmates, she unceremoniously
entered without knocking and went in?
to the parlor. Here, seated in front cf a
rousing log fire, she found Mrs. Mar?
vel, busily engaged with some knitting
and evidently ignorant "f tho fact that j
at that very time grave suspicions were j
entertained against her son. The cid
lady politely rose and welcomed her
visitor, but Virginia, without accept?
ing her invitation to be seated, at once
inquired for her daughter Alice.
"Alice .is net out cf bed yet," said
the mother. "She sent me a message at
breakfast time that she had a headache
and preferred to sleep. But you can go
up to her room if you wish. I guess she
is not seriously ill." She smiled, well
knowing that her daughter was fond of j
her morning nap, and that 4'a head?
ache" was often a convenient excuse.
Virginia at once went in search cf her
friend. Ascending one flight of stairs,
she entered Alice Marvel's bedroom.
Alice was in bed, but not asleep. On
the contrary, she seemed very wide
awake, although completely absorbed
with her thoughts.
A moment's description cf this young
lady may not be amiss. Though, like
Virginia, a brunette, she was neverthe?
less totally different in appearance.
Her friends called her pretty, and the
ss?ti ?rn-fi v>
"Murdered! My God, this is frightful!"
term was applicable, fr.r though she I
possessed a charming face she could be i
called neither handsome nor beautiful. ;
Small, well chiseled features, a rosy, ,
pert little mouth, piercing black eye?,
chestnut brown hair and a clear com?
plexion with considerable color, these
were the salient points in her favor. Jn ;
stature she was petite. But it was h<r
manner more than her ohysical charms
that was ber chief attraction. Viva?
cious, impetuous, with powerful emo?
tions, loving and hating with a degree
of intensity foiinga to the American
born, it was easy tc detect that Alice
Marvel had French blcod in her veins.
Her father had chosen his bride in
Paris and continued his residence in
that city until Alice was 15. Then he
returned to America with his family,
which included Walter, who was two
years older than his sister, and immedi?
ately thereafter settled in Lee. Thus
Alice was nov?* in her twenty-fifth year.
Startled from her meditations by thc
abrupt entrance of her friend, Alice
stared at her a moment in silence and
then suddenly exclaimed:
"Ls he dead?"
"Is who dead?" asked Virginia,
amazed at the question.
"Your uncle, Mr. Lewis," replied
Alice, at which Virginia was so bewil?
dered that she stood speechless. Know?
ing that the fact cf her uncle's death
had been so recently discovered and also
that Alice had not left her own room,
Virginia was at a loss to understand
how she "had become aware cf the true
state of affairs. It occurred to her that
perhaps, after all, the maidservant had
informed Alice, but . in that case it
should have been known also by Mrs.
Marvel, whereas that lady had acted in
a way which precluded the supposition
that the news had reached her ears.
Recovering somewhat from the first ef?
fects of her surprise, she asked:
"How did you know that he is dead?"
Alice started at this question, and
then, as though awakening from a
dream, replied:
"I don't know what I have been
saying. I think I was dreaming when
you came in and-and-and I must
have continued aloud what was passing
through my mind. "
"Your dream, then, is wonderfully
near the truth, for my uncle was found
dead this morning, and he has undoubt?
edly been murdered."
"Murdered! My God. this is fright?
ful!" With a convulsive tremor, which
passed over her whole frame, Alice lay
back and buried her face in her pillow.
Virginia gazed at her, not knowing how
to construe her agitation. A moment
later Alice, with one bound, leaped
from tho bed and, rushing up to Vir?
ginia, exclaimed excitedly:
1 'You say he was murdered. How do
50U know it? Who can prove it? Did
any one see it? Who did it? Who did it,
I say? Tell me"
"Hush! Do you know what you are
saying? If any one heard you, it would
be suspected"
" What would be suspected? What is
suspected? Tell me! I must know! I
will know! I"
"Silence! Are you still in a dream?
You must stop this wild language. Stop
itl Stop it instantly!" Taking Alice t(J
the shoulders, she shook her, and by
her words and manner Virginia at
length subdued somewhat the intensity
of her friend's excitement. Then occur?
red the inevitable reaction. Alice threw
herself on the bed and abandoned her?
self to a wild paroxysm cf tears. Vir?
ginia endeavored to calm and soothe
her, but for a long time her attentions
only aggravated the hysterical sobbing.
After awhile, however, she became
more quiet, and Virginia sought an ex?
planation.
"Iscw, Alice,"said she, "you must
tell me how you knew that my uncle is
dead." v
"Hush! I cannot tell you. I camiot.
I cannot. "
"But you must. Evidently you know
something about ibis, and you must
tell me."
"It is impossible."
"Can you not trust me? Come, Alice,
you must be reasonable. We arc wast?
ing time that is most precious. Do you
know who is cr will bc suspected cf
this crime?"
"Do you know? Then tell me!" said
Alice in feverish anxiety.
"Listen. There are two detectives"
"What! Already?" interrupted A3ice
in a terrified voice. "And yea say they
suspect some one?"
"Alice, you, too, suspect some ono.
Who is it? If you and thc; detectives sus?
pect the same man, I will help to skieid
him. You know that. "
"Him? ^hom do you mean?" Now
it se* raer sat Alice was puzzled.
*' .. do I mean? Who was it that
quarreled with my uncle? Who was it
that threatened to kill him?"
"My God, you mean my brother!T'
Alice sank in a chair and sa*" staring j
like cue in a trance. Finally, .y a great j
effort, she aroused herself and scented
to regain her self possession.
"Virginia, you must think me. cut of
my mind to have acted as ? have, but I
have had a terrible night. In my dreams
I have seen your Uncle murdered in a
thousand fantastic ways. Therefore it
is net strange that when you startled
mc I should have addressed you as I
did. It was a tremendous shock to have
you announce that all which my imag?
ination had pictured was really true."
"Undoubtedly, Alice, but it is a j
strange coincidence that you should
bave had such dreams. What were you
thinking of when you retired that my
uncle should have been so conspicuously
in your thoughts?"
"I was thinking of him. But I will
tell you the truth at once."
"??top a moment. I will listen to your j
story after awhile. It is of vital impor?
tance that no more time should be lost
in warning Walter of the danger which
threatens him. "
"Yrs, but how will you do it? Do
you know where he is?"
"He is in Portsmouth by this time, I
hope. Ile will expect a lotter from mo
tomorrow morning. I cana' out to post
it, but I am certain that I am watched
by thc detectives. I did net flare ti) ?0 :
to our office for fear that they would !
discover just what I do not want them j
to know. The only way kit is to si nd I
thc letti r to Kew Market and mail it
there. How caji we (io that?"
Alice ha?l cntir< ly composed herself
and while her friend spoko was rapidly
dressing. .She replied:
"I know the very one to trust, for of i
course it must be a tried friend, as the
bearer of the letter will discover the ad?
dress. Will Everly is the man for this
emercencv. Walter, .you remember,
been mentioned in the Madrid cables
as likely to take the foreign portfolio
in a Sagasta cabinet, but this is be
lieved to be erroneous, as Gamazo
has never been prominent in state af
fairs, but is noted as a financier, and
was a financial minister in a
former liberal cabinet. He
has a strong following, and it is
believed by officials that he would
take the treasury portfolio in a liberal
cabinet
It is stated with positiveness that
American affairs did not bring on the
crisis, bot that it was doe entirely
to internal policies, of which the
excommunication of Senor Navarro
Reveter, minister of gnance in the
fallen cabnet, formed a par? This
fact has been briefly mentioned in
the cable dispatches, bnt the circum
stances of the excommunication are
more fully explained here It ap j
pears that the minister of finance in i
sisted that the church property in an j
interior diocese should pay taxes as
other property. *This was opposed I
by the bishop, who claimed a church j
exemption The minister therupon
resorted to the usual legal procedure,
levying on the church property for
default in tax payments. The bishop
responded by a decree of excommuni?
cation against the minister of finance
The latter appealed to the metropoli?
tan of the see. who ruled against the
bishop The latter was insistent on
his prerogatives, claiming that a
; bishop was supreme ni matters af
i fectiog an excommunication The
case has now been appealed to Rome
for final determination In the mean
time., the excommunication of the
minister stands, and to some extent
has hs influence 3gainet the entire
cabinet, owing to the strong church j
sentiment in Spain and the official
union between church and state It
? is not doubted that the queen regent
j would be guided in such a question
j affecting the cabinet by the wishes of
Rome
