THE FARMER: JUNE 2, 1911 15 The House of the ! By ANNA JCATHARINE GREEN Copyright. 1910. By Anna Kithtrine Rohlfs u (Continued.) "She does ui uuuw yet what is in store for her," were his words, and I could only lie still and look at him helplessly. "When she comes to her self she will hare to be told, but you will be on your feet then and will be allowed, no doubt, to soften the blow for her by your comfort and counsel. The fact that it must have been yo. If not he Hel" Did I shout it, or was .the shout simply in my own mind? "Yes Arthur. His guilt has not been proved; he has not even been remand ed; the sister's case is too pitiful and Coroner Perry too soft hearted where any of that family is involved. But do one doubts his guilt, and he does not deny it himself. You know prob ably no one better that he cannot very consistently do this in face of the evidence accumulated against him, ev idence stronger in many regards than that accumulated against yourself." Arthur! A booby and a boor, but cer tainly not the slayer of his sister, un less I had been woefully mistaken in all . that had taken place in that clubhouse previous to my entrance into it on that fatal night- As I caught Clifton's eye fixed upon me I said: "Don't speak of me. I'm not thinking of myself. You speak of evidence. What evidence? Give me details. Don't you see that I am burning with curiosity? I shant be myself tin I h.ear." "It all came about through you," he went on. "You told me o( the fellow you saw riding away from the Whis pering Pines at the time you entered the grounds. I passed the story on to the coroner and he to a New York de tective they had put on this case. He and Arthur's own surly nature did the rest" I cringed where I lay. This was my work. The person who drove out of the clubhouse grounds while I stood In the clubhouse hall was Carmel, and the clew I had given, instead of baf fling and confusing them, had led di rectly to Arthur. Seeing nothing peculiar or, at all vents, giving no evidence of having noted anything peculiar in my move ment Clifton went evenly on, pouring Into my astonished ears the whole long story of the detective's investigations. Instinctively I did not feel as cer tain of Arthur's guilt as Clifton did. I knew Arthur even better than I did his sisters. lie wis as full of faults and as lacking in axal&ble and reliable traits as any fellow of my acquaint ance. But lie uaa not the ninerent snap which makes for crime. ' He lacked the vigor which God forgive me the thought lay back of Carmel's softer characteristics. The episode of the ring confused me. I could make nothing out of It, could not connect it with what I myself knew of the confused experiences of that night f But I could recall the din ner and the sullen aspect not unmixed with awe, with which this boy con templated his sister when his own glass fell from his nerveless fingers. My own heart was not in the business it was on the elopement I had planned but I could not help seeing what I have just mentioned, and it recurred to me now with fatal distinctness. The awe was as great as the sullenness. Did that offer a good foundation for crime? I disliked Arthur. I had no use for the boy, and I wished with all my heart to detect guilt In his actions rather than In those of the woman 1 loved, but I could not forget that tinge of awe on features too heavy to mir ror very readily the nicer feelings of the human soul. It would come up, and under the influence of this impres sion I said: "Are you sure that he made no de nial of this crime? That does not seem like Arthur, guilty or innocent" "He made none in my presence, and I was In the coroner's office when the ring was produced from its secret hid ing place and set down before him There was no if I llil Pen accusation I I M made, but he S tT PI must have un derstood the si lence of all pres ent. He ac- kno wledged some days ago, when confront ed with the bot tle found in Cuthbert road, that he had tak en both it and another from the clubhouse Just before the storm began to rage that night." "The hour; the very hour!" I muttered. "He entered and left by that ABE TOI7 6UHE HE MADE 0 DENIAL?" upper hall window, or so he says, but he Is not to be believed in all his state ments. Some of his declarations we know to be false." "Which ones? Give me a specimen, Charlie. Mention something he has said that you know to be false." "Well, it is hard to accuse a man of a direct lie. But he cannot be telling the truth when he says that he crossed the links immediately to Cuthbert road, thus cutting out the ride home of which we have such extraordinary proof." Under the fear of betraying my thoughts I hurriedly closed my eyes. I was in an extraordinary position my self. What seemed falsehood to them struck me as the absolute truth. Car mel had been the one to go home; he, without doubt, had crossed the links es he said. As this conviction pene- lAn wmspering .Pines J my mind I shrank inexpressibly from the renewed mental struggle into which It plunged me. To have suf fered myself to have fallen under the ban of suspicion and the disgrace of arrest had certainly been hard, but Jt was. nothing to beholding another in the same plight through my own rash and ill advised attempt to better my position and Carmel's by what I had considered a totally harmless subter fuge. Forced by doubt to open my eyes, I met Clifton's full look turned watch fully on me. The result was calm ing. Even to my apprehensive gaze It betrayed no new enlightenment My struggle had been all within. No to ken of it had reached him. This he showed still more plainly when he spoke. "There will be a close sifting of evi dence at the inquest You will not enjoy this, but the situation, hard as it may prove, has certainly Improved so far as you are concerned. That should hasten your convalescence." "Poor Arthur!" burst from my lips, and the cry was echoed in my heart "What sort of, man would you 'make him out to be when ,you accuse him of robbing the wine vault on top of a murderous assault on his sister?" "I know. - It argues a brute, but he" "Arthur Cumberland Is selfish, unre sponsive and hard, but he is not a brute. I'm disposed to give him the benefit of my good opinion to this ex tent, Charlie. I cannot believe he first poisoned and then choked that noble woman." Clifton drew himself up in his turn, astonishment battling with; renewed distrust "Either he or you, Ranelagh!" he ex claimed firmly. "There is no third person. This you must realize." Was Arthur in the clubhouse when I first stepped into it ? It was just pos slble. I had been led to prevaricate as to the moment I entered the lower gate way, and he may have done the same as to the hour he left by the upper hall window. Whatever his denials on this or any subject, I was convinced that he knew as well as I that Carmel had been in the building with her sister and was involved more or less person ally In the crime committed there. Might it not be simply as his acces sory after the fact? If only I could be lieve this! " But she had gone in disguise to" the Whispering Pines, and she had re turned home in the same suspicious fashion. The wearing of her brother Arthur's hat. and coat over her own womanly garments was no freak. There had been purpose in It a purpose which demanded secrecy. That Adelaide should have accompanied her under these circumstances was a mystery. But them the . whole affair was a mys tery, totally out of keeping in all its details with the characters of these women, save and what a fearful ex ception I here make the awful end, which, alas, bespoke the fiery rush and impulse to destroy which marked Car mel's unbridled rages. Of a less emotional attack she would be as incapable as any other good woman. Poison she would never use. It's presence there was due to anoth er's forethought, another's determina tion. But the poison had not killed. Both glasses had been emptied, but ah, those glasses! What explanation had the police now for those two emptied glasses? They had hitherto supposed me to be the second person who had joined Adelaide in this totally uncharacteristic drinking. Knowing nothing of Carmel having been on the scene, they must ascribe this act either to Arthur or to me, and when they came to dwell upon this point more particularly they must see the improbability of her drinking with him under any circumstances. Then their thoughts would recur to me, and. I should find myself again a sus pect The monstrous suggestion that Arthur had brought the liquor there himself, had poured it out and forced her to drink it, poison and all, out of revenge for her action at the dinner table a short time before, did not oc cur to me then, but if it had there were the three glasses he would not bring three, nor would Adelaide, nor, as I saw it, would Qarmel. Chaos however one looked at it, chaos! Only one fact was clear that Carmel knew the whole story and might communicate the same if ever her brain cleared and she could be brought to reveal the mysteries of that hour. Did I really desire such a consum mation? Only God could tell. I only know that the fear and expectation of such an outcome made my anguish for the next two weeks. Would she live? Would Bhe die? The question was on every tongue. The crisis of her disease was approaching, and the next twenty-four hours would decide her fate, and in consequence my own, if not her brother Arthur's. As I contemplated the suspense of these twenty-four hours I revolted madly for the first time against the restrictions of my prison. I wanted air, movement, the rush into danger, which my horse or my automobile might afford anything which would drag my thoughts from that sick room and the anticipated stir of that lovely form into conscious life and suffering. Clifton told me no one was allowed in the sick room but the nurse and the doctor. Even Arthur was denied admission and was wearing himself out in his own room, as I was wearing myself oftt here, in restless inactivity. recover consciousness ana wua ioua in his expressions of rebellion against the men who dared to keep him from her bedside when her life was trem bling in the balance. But the nusee had hopes, and so had the doctor. As for Carmel's looks, they were greatly changed, but beautiful still in spite of the cruel scar left by her fall against the burning bars of her sis ter's grate. No delirium disturbed the rigid immobility in which she now lay. I could await her awakening with quiet confidence In the justice of God Thus Clifton, in his ignorance. The day was a bleak one, and the evening hours were no better. The hands on my watch crawled. When the door finally opened it came as a shock. I knew that it was Clifton who entered, but I could not meet his eye. I dug my nails Into both my palms and waited for his first word. When it came I felt my spirits go down, down. I had thought them attheir lowest ebb before. He hesitated and I started up: "Tell me," I cried "Carmel Is dead!" "Not dead," said he, "but silly. Her testimony is no more to be relied upon than that of any other wandering mind." CHAPTER XV. "BREAK IX THE GXASS!" TFT was some time before I learn- II ed the particulars of Carmel's II awakening. It had occurred at sunset. With the exception of the doctor and possibly the nurse, only those interested in her as a wit ness in the most perplexing case on the police annals were grouped In si lent watchfulness about the room of mystery. It came suddenly, as all great changes come. One moment her lids were down, her face calm, her whole figure quiot in its statue-like repose; the next her big violet eyes had flash ed open upon the world, and lips and limbs were moving feebly but cer tainly in their suddenly recovered freedom. She murmured, half petu lantly: "Why do you look at me so? Oh, I remember, I remember! What's the matter? I cannot move as I used to do. I feel I feel" ' "You have been ill," came soothingly from the doctor. "You have been in bed many days. Now you are better and will soon be well. This is your nurse." He said nothing of the others, who were so placed behind screens as to be Invisible to her. She continued to gaze first at one then at the other. As she did so tn fflush faded and gave way to an anxious, troubled expression not just ithe expression anticipated by those (Who believed that with returning con sciousness would come returning mem ory of the mysterious scene which had taken place between herself and her sister or between her sister and her brother prior to Adelaide's departure lor the Whispering Pines. "You have the same kind look for me as always," were her next words as her. glance finally settled on the )doctor. "But hec bring me the mir ror!" she cried. "Let me see with my own eyes what I have now to ex pect from every one who looks at me. I want to know before Lila comes In. Why, isn't she here? Is she .with with" Then In th shrill tones iWhich will not be denied she demand ed again, "The mirror!" Nurse Unwin brought it Carmel was still for a long time, during which the nurse carried off the glass. "I I don't like it," Carmel acknowl edged quaintly to the doctor as he leaned over her with compassionate ,words. "I shall have to get acquaint ed with myself all over again. And so I have been ill! . I shouldn't have thought a little burn like that would make me I1L How Adelaide must have worried!" "Adelaide is is not well herself. It distressed her to have been out when you fell. Don't you remember that she went out that night?" "Pid she? She was right. Adelaide must have every pleasure. She has "why isn't she iieue? " earned her good times I must be the one to stay home now and look after things and learn to be useful. I don't expect anything different. Call Ade laide and let me tell her how how satisfied I am." "But she's ill. She cannot come. Wait till tomorrow, dear child. Rest Is what you need now. Take these few drops and go to sleep again." "I can't take it." she protested. "I forget now why, but I can't take any thing more from a glass. I've prom ised not to, I think. Take it away. It makes me feel queer. Where is Adelaide?" Her memory was defective. She could not seem to take in what the doctor told her. But he tried her again. Once more he spoke of illness as the cause of Adelaide's absence. Her attention wandered while he spoke of it. "How it did hurt!" she cried. "But I didn't think much about it. I thought only of" Next moment her voice rose in a shriek, thin, but impetuous, and imbued with a note of excited feeling which made every person there start "There should be two!" she cried. "Two! Why is there only one?" This sounded like raving. The doc tor's face took on a look of concern, and the nurse stirred uneasily. , "One is not enough! ' That is why Adelaide is not satisfied. Why does she not come and love and comfort me, as I expected her to? Tell her it 1; not too late yet, not too late yet, nei too late" .The doctor's hand was on her fore bead. "Rest" came in Dr. Carpenter's mos; soothing tones "rest, my little Car mel; forget everything and rest" He thought he knew the significance of PERFECT cleanses, preserves and beauti fies the teeth, prevents tooth decay and imparts purity and fragrance to the breath fered her. Jsuo lV-iUiiuueietl iho sees at the Cumberland dinner table on that fatal night and shrank from anything that reminded her of it Ordering the medicine put in a cup, he offered it to her again, and she drank it without question. As she quieted under its in fluence the disappointed listeners, now tiptoeing carefully from the room, heard her murmur in final appeal : "Cannot Adelaide spare one minute from from her company downstairs to wish me health and kiss me good night ?" Was it weakness or a settled inabil ity to " remember anything but that which filled her own mind? It proved to be a settled inability to take in any new ideas or even to re member much beyond the completion of that dinner. As the days passed and news of her condition came to me from time to time I found that she had not only forgotten what had passed be tween herself and the rest of the fam ily previous to their departure for the clubhouse, but all that had afterward occurred at the Whispering Pines, even to her own presence there and the ride home. She could not even re tain in her mind for any appreciable length of time the idea of Adelaide's death. Even after Dr. Carpenter, with Infinite precautions, revealed to her the truth not that Adelaide had been mur dered, but that Adelaide had passed away during the period of her own Ill ness Carmel gave but one cry of grief, then immediately burst forth In her old complaint that Adelaide neglected her. She had lost her happiness and hope and Adelaide would not spare her an hour. This expression when I heard of it convinced me. as I believe it did some ethers, that her act of self denial in not humoring my whim and flying from "tome and duty that night had made a stronger impression on her mind than all that came after. She never asked for Arthur. This may have grieved him; but, according to mv fnithful friend and attorney, it appeared to have the contrary effect and to bring him positive relief. When it was borne in on him, as it was soon to be borne in on all, that her mind was not what it was he grew notice ably more cheerful and less suspicious in his manner. With this new shock of Carmel's in ability to explain her own part in the tragedy and thus release my testimony and make me a man again in my own eyes I lost the sustaining power which had previously held me up. I became apathetic, no longer counting the hours and thankful when they passed. Ar thur had not been arrested, but he un derstood or allowed others to see that he understood the reason for the sur veillance under which he was now strictly kept. Of the inquest which was held in due course, I shall not say much. Only one new fact was elicited by its means, and that of interest solely as making clear how there came to be evidences of poison in Adelaide's stom ach without the quantity being great enough for more than a temporary dis turbance. Maggie, the second girl, had some thing to say about this when the vial which had heldhe poison was handed about for inspection. She had handled that vial many times on the shelf where it was kept. Once she had dropped it, and, the cork coming out. some o$ the contents had escaped. Frightened at the mishap, she had filled the vial up with water and put it, thus diluted, back on the shelf. No one had noticed the difference, and she had forgotten all about the matter until now. From her description, there must have been very little of the dangerous drug left in the vial and the jury rendered the noncommit tal verdict: "Death by strangulation at the hands of some person unknown." I had expected this. The evidence, pointing as it did in two opposing directions, presented a problem which a coroner's jury could hardly be ex pected to solve. I was allowed one weet half hour of freedom; then 1 was detained to await the action of the grand Jury, and so was Arthur. When I was informed of this latter fact I made a solemn vow to myself. It was this: If it falls to my lot to be indicted for this murderous offense 1 will continue to keep my own counsel. But if I escape and a true bill should be found against Arthur then will I follow my better instinct and reveal what I have hitherto kept concealed, even if the torment of the betrayal drives me to self destruction afterward. for I no longer cherished the smallest doubt that to Carmel's sudden rage. and to that alone, tb death of Ade laide was due. My reason for this change from troubled to absolute conviction can be easily explained. It dated from the inquest and will best appear in the relation of an interview I held with my attorney, Charles Clifton, very soon after my second incarceration. We had discussed the situation till there seemed to be nothing left to dis cuss. I understand him, and he thought he understood me. He be lieved Arthur guilty and credited me with the same convictions. Thus only could he explain my inconceivable reticence on certain points be was very well assured I could make clear if I would. That he was not the only man who had drawn these same conclusions from my attitude both before and dur ing the inquest troubled me greatly and deeply disturbed my conscience.
