" But," repllod those to whom this incredu lous story was rolated, " it is proved beyond doubt that Col, Mansfield only returned to England on the morning of the 10th of August, and it is therefore; entirely out of the question that he could have had a hand iu the previous murders."

This will probably account for his unwillingness to take the lifo of tho daughter of the woman be loved." This theory was not, howover, generally accepted. Col. Mansfield was known to bo a humane man and one not at all likely to as sociate himself with a band of murderers. Besides, it was argued, what object v. as thero to bo gained by such an alhanca ? To which his detractors would roply that, having joined tho Urothorhood, ha was bound, undor penalty of death, to carry out auy mlbsion, no matter how murderous, that might be intrusted to htm. It was further nllerred that bis Brotherhood waa far more exacting than the Nihilists, and that no one who had broken his vow hai been known to escapo their vengeance. ' ' But what proof havo you that such a Brotherhood exists? And if it does exist, where aro its headquarters?" somo people would ask, "Of the ex'steuce of such a Brotherhood thero is no nutation," would roply those who professed to know all about it, "and its headquarters aro somewhere in India, where it is not exuolly known. " But, granting this, what proof havo you that Col. Mansfield belongs or has over be longed to such a secret society ?" This direct question was not so easy to answer, and refuge was taken iu general as sertions. It was well kuown in India, it nas said, that thero wus tomelhlng uncanny about Mans, field ; that he periodically disappeared, no one knew where or haw, and that he was quite ah adept in the art of magic. It v as not the first time, moreover, that ho bad been in a trance, which state, it was as serted, he could asiunie at will. Indeed, was there not a brother officer of his who sworo that ho had on one occasion actually seen the spiritual double of tho Colonel, ac companied by other speotral forms, enter the very room where his (Mansfield's) body lay stiff and motionless on a rus? It was an un doubted faot that the officer in question was perfectly sober at the time, and the I averse of superstitious. Mossrs. THEODORE A.
