It has sustained thousands: it will sustain you. See that you get it." Then in the house, on every available wall, he came across other mysterious placards, iu more and more pathetic appeal, "Why die when a little breakfast prolongs life?" Larger and larger grew the type, "it is late; it is still later," leading at last into the little breakfast room, where he found Kipling reading his paper in peaceful innocence, but very hungry. It did not need much ingenuity to guess the author of these broadsides. A Heroic Pliynlcinn. _ A deadly plague was raging in the city of Marseilles.

AfeClure 4 When the iiowo wns brought to me, Jasper Mathieson, that I bad Inherited a goodly sum from Miss Itebeccn Ainsworth, I could not help breathing n slgli of relief. Death had at last loosed my tongue, enabling me to make public the facts concerning a mystery of years long ago. One May morning some thirty years ago Henry Ainsworth, the wealthy antiquary, was' found foully done to death in his bed. There were living In the house at the time three persons besides the victim?Rebecca Ainsworth, the antiquary's maiden sister, a spinster of fifty years; an old butler and a maid servant. As a professional detective inj* tlrst care was to fnterrogate these carefully. Neither of the servants had heard a sound on the night of the murder. Roth had retired at 11 o'clock, about an hour after the master of the house bad sought his couch, and both hod slept peacefully until 0 o'clock, when they bad been awakened by a shriek from Miss Ainsworth. That lady testified that she and het brother had remained In the library Until 10 o'clock. At that hour her brother bade her good night, and they went to their rooms. Miss Ainsworth further Informed me that she bad slept until nearly (I o'elock, when, as was her custom, she dressed and went to knock on her brother's door, for he also was fin early riser. Rapping two or three tunes nnd receiving no reply, she opened the door nnd wns so alarmed nt what she saw that she uttered the cry which startled the servants. Mr. Alnsworth hud been stabbed by a dagger, one of a set of oriental weapons he had collected while on a tour of the east. The murderer must have be< u In the library to have obtained It. and to the library we accordingly went. It was a high, oak paneled chamber, only called a library by courtesy. There were n few liooks In evidence, but most of the space was filled with wonderful nnd curious objects. On ? sn ail table In an alcove were several skulls labeled nnd ticketed, marking every stage In evolution, from the cranium of a Pntngonlnn to that of a famous scholar.

Aztec, Burmese and Cliinese temples weyp scattered about the room. What especially Impressed me w?* an imnge about four feet and a t)Alf high, apparently of somo dull bronze marble. Its hands were folded placid* ly on its breast, but the features formed a terrible eontrast to the repose of the flgure. The eyes were wide open and bore an expression of Intense hate. The upper Up was raised in a snarling fashion, disclosing fnngllke teeth. The nostrils were dftntcd. One could not repress a shudder while gazing on this sUent statue. Miss Alnswortli informed me that it was. not really h statue, as I had suppoled, hut n petrified man, the body of an old Hindoo fakir unearthed by her brother while engaged on some excavations in India. The antiquary had told iier that he had smuggled it out of the country, as the natives venerated it as a god and had threatened hla life If he disturbed it. Wllkio Collins* story of "The Moonatone" flashed into my mind as I heard this.* At once I formed the theory that possibly some superstitious Hindoo had murdered the antiquary, the object being to recover the petrified man and take him hack to India. i An Interesting piece of Information was volunteered )>y Miss Alnswortft, jjpfore me stood the shriveled, form i qf the petrified Hindoo, quick with the ; breath of life, his eyes ablaze and a J Knuo in urn upraised hand. In tbnt moment I hold tlio solution of the Alnsworth mystery.

I enme out of this hwooii to And rayaolf fn bod, with tho village doctor nnd Miss Alnsworth by my aide. I then learned that I hnd sustained n fteah wound only. Concerning the manner of my Injury I maintained n discreet silence, for I felt tbnt my atory would not bo believed. When able to dreaa I descended to the I'.brnry, where the domestics were settl lg things to right nnder the supervlsloi of Miss Ainaworth. Not n sign of life could I detect In the. Hindoo fakir, though thfre was a smear of blood on his hideous mouth. I tapped him gently, nnd a metallic ring was the reDir.

When I assured her that with the passing of the petrified man all danger would be at an cud and showad her how the murderer of her brother was beyond the pale of the law she gave her .consent to snmmary vengeance. That night the petrified man, carefully packed In a lead weighted box, reposed at the bottom of the lake on the sliotV* of which stood the Alnsworth home, and I must confess that not one scruple did I have in thus act4ng ns the Judge, Jury and executioner of the antiquary'# slayer.
