writers out of speeches was the
late Lord Derby, of whom the story
went that the manuscript of one of his
most statesmanlike discourses, being
picked up from tSie tloor, where It had
fallen, was found not only to be freely
sprinkled with "Hear, hear!" "Laughter,"
and "Applause," but also to contain
a passage beginning, "But 1 atn

morning Rhodes went round ids farm

and In n sUort while ho was very busy
on liis own account. As Rhodes returned
he found his trees bearing a
now kind of fruit in the shape of
placards inscribed in huge black letters
with "Famine!" "We ore starving!"
"Feed us!" etc. On reaching
the front door be was confronted with
the following, in still larger type: "For
the human race?Breakfast tones the
mind, invigorates the body. 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. The doctors could
" do nothing, for very little was known
of the disease, owing to the danger surrounding
any inquiry into it In a
~ council among themselves they came to
the conclusion that the corpse of n vic^
tim must be dissected, but it would be
death to the operator. Upon tlds being
!? decided a celebrated physician, one of
D their number, arose and declared that
j for the safety of his country he would
\ give himself up to the task. lie then
"j immediately left the room, made his
a will and arranged his affairs. At day^

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. The oaken walls were
covered with weapon*, primitive, jma

lofty mantel stood four caekcts containing
mummies from Egypt. Images
from Hindoo. 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

mystery. Self hypnotised, iho
fakir lind outdone the mar vols of bin
occult brothron of tho enst nnd had
boon nnleep for fcenturios only to nvake

Tlila camo to mo in n flash of intuition,
for ore I could rlao to defend myaelf
I felt a keen stinging In my shonlder
nnd fell to the floor unconacioua.
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.

A a noon as tlio servants left the room
I tokl Miss Alnsworth my experiences
during the nlghfP As I bad .expected,
she was at first Incredulous, but I no
cecded at length In convincing her of
the truth of my statements. 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
