Tlirro had once been door between the. two apartments, but it had either boon carried off when 'lie last tenants left tlio house, or had been, annexed siiice tiio.n by some casu al passerby for firewood. So that by sitting up in bed, 1 was able to see enough of a hvgo flreplacc in which •stood a rastio grate, to know that tfeat room had formerly been a kitchen. I heard tho Hottentot giving his an swers in the curious lingo used by the natives. Then I heard the sound of a door beins opened and shut, dnd the voices ceased. I lay down again and listened. Then became aware that one or the other only of the two men had gone out, and I wondered whether it was Mullion or the native who was now in sole charge of me. If it should prove to be Mullion, then I felt that I must prepare fur the worst if, on the other hand, it was tho Hottentot who was left I might perhaps buy him over to my own service. I had already ascer tained, when finding my pocketbook, that both it and my purse were un touched and contained the consider able sum of money I carried about with me. A small revolver, too, and some cartridges, had not been taken out and those I secreted under the bundle of dried- grass wrapt round with a rug. which served as a pillow. Then a dark face peeped at me through the doorway, nnd I beckoned to the follow to come to me. At first he shook his head, and glanced behind him as if to intimate that this was against the orders of his master. So, keeping my hands well under cover that he might not be tempted to use violence to a helpless man on finding out the extent of my wealth, I held up a sovereign tempt ingly before his eyes. The man grinned and looked behind him again. He was evidently doubtful. I nodded encouragingly. "If you'll do something for me, June," I said, persuasively, keeping my ears on the alert to find out wheth er anybody was with him or not, "you shall have this all to yourself." He nodded rapturously and, with a last timid look behind him, came for ward over the rough fUior intp the room. "Has your master gone- out, Juno?" was my first question. "Yes, basis," replied the Tluttfnt.ot, quickly, and he then informed me that lie had been ordered to t«ke great care of me, and to give me everything 1 wanted, but not to let me try to get out of the house. I next asked him if he was alone, and he said that he was, and, moreover, he volunteered the information that it would be some time before his mas ter came back. "Do you know where he's gone?" I then asked. Hut to this June shook his head, and I settled in my own mind that Mill lion's absence was connected with the safe dispatch of my letter to Jennie Atkinson. My next question was rath er a delicate one I feared that the man would have been provided by Dick, with some cautious answer on the subject. "Do you know where the wagon is thcit belongs to me?" I asked at last. No. June neither knew that, nor appeared to receive my question with any mistrust. "Were you with your master when he found me?" I next asked. Oh, yes, June had been with him and had helped to put me into the mule cart, which brought me to my present resting place* "Do you think," I went on quiokly, encouraged by this, "that yon oould find your way back to the place where you found me, and then on to where my wagon is waiting, not far from there? You may know it by the man in charge, who is called Tom—a tall, thin Englishman, with a soar under the right eye. I think you will find a gen tleman there, too, an Englishman, with white hair and a short white beard. If I give you a letter for the Englishman with the white beard, will you take it and try to find him?" Having made it clear between us that the gold piece was to be his re ward if he found the gentleman and brought me back an answer, June, not without some evident qualms as to what would become of him if his mas ter should return before he did, con sented to fulfill the mission. But, as a precautionary measure, to insure my remaining where I was, he took away my clothes and hid them. I protested strongly against this and pointed out to hiiri that I was too weak to make any attempt to escape. But he only shook his head and grinned, and I had to submit. So finished the sliort hote I had written to the doctor, and gave it to the Hottentot, who then went oft on his errand without further delay. It was in a strange plight that I found myself left, and when I heard the outer door shut behind the native I felt half inclined to crawl across the floor and to bid him return to me, The silence seemed awful, worse than my captivity, worse tliiin the presence of Dick. I thought I should die there, all alone, before the good doctor could learn where I was, be fore his mysterious and moody nephew could come back to his strange charge. I pictured to myself how the sun would go down, and the shadows grow long as I lay and my fears and fancies caused me at last to start »p with the Intention of getting outside into the open air, at all events. But I had not taken into account my intense weakness, and after stag* gering and crawling as far as the doorway between the two rooms, I fell, with a deadly sicknesa at my heart, onto the floor. And there, ignomintoualy enough, lay until Edolt MulUoa *~'rmlt ub( ||1i 1 1 1 and of Ice TRANSCRIBED BY FLORENCE WARDEN, Author of "The House on (ho Marsh," "Ralph Ryder, of Brent."

"Thank you," no-id I. And I cask about for a reason to give fos my ooiv duot. "I wanted- a drink of water—" ''Confound those natives!" said hfe, kindly enough, as he smoothed th'e rugs for me and made the rough bed as oomfortable as he oould. "I told that fellow not to leave you on an$ ac oount." I began to wonder what would hap pen when Juno came hack whether be would have the sense to^oake some excuse for his obsonofc, ou whethea he would expose me- to the full £ono» of his master's displeasure by confessing his errand. I thought it best on the whole to say nothing, and to leave matters to chance. The day was sinking, and. the shad ows were getting long, Diok lighted a couple of candles, which gave out a dim light in the big room. He sat at a rough-hewn table which looked as if it had been hastily made by the na tive, and sitting down by it, leaned his head thoughtfully in his hands. I was afraid to disturb him, ao I lay watching him in silence, until he threw back his head abruptly and ap peared to listen with great intentness. Then he turned his eyes again toward me, and I saw in them the old look of aoowling, restless uneasiness which I was so well used to. "Did you hear anything?" a«ked he sharply, but unfler his breath. I l-ooked at him curiously and did not answer. I thought, indeed, that one of the hallucinations to which I believed him to be subject had seized him again, for no sound had reachefl my ears. The next moment, without any warning, he started up and approached me in a threatening manner. "I see what you've been up to, you little idiotf" he said angrily, but atiU without raising hi* Toioe. "You sent the man away, you sent him to—" He did not finish his speech, for at that moment we both heard heavy footsteps outside the door. Dick turned away from the bed and ran hastily into the outer apartment. I could hear him turning the key in the lock of the door, en4 then there was silence again. I was seized with fear and -when I heard Mullion moving stealthily about, my curiosity increased so much as to the reason of hia thus locknn^r himself in with me that I even attempted to get out of bed, wish thi intention of getting to the doorway^ where J.coi\Jd see what took place. A sharp knook at the outejr d£or startled and checked me. I waited a moment. But Dick Mul lion made no answer to the summons. The knock was repeated, with the same result. Excited and alarmed, I made a second attempt to reach the doorway, when again my movement was checked, this time by the sound of a well-known voice. "Dick, Dick, you're here, aren't you? Let me in," cried Dr. Mullion in hie clear, genial tones. Then Dick, instead of opening the door, spoke from the inside, probably from a window. "Hallo! Uncle!" cried he, as if in surprise, "What are you doing here?" "Let me in and I'll tell you." Dick answered at once, to my infinite amazement and. horror. "Not now. I want you to go anoth er mile to th'e next outspian. Poor Blair's there tend he wants you." "Not here* eh?" exclaimed the doc tor. "Oh, ail right, all right. I'll go to him. This way, eh?" I heard Ms voice fading away in the distance, as he took the direction in dicated by his nephew, and then I Jell back in a state of dumb stupefaction. CHAPTER .against I innupja— xvm. It seemed to me, lying there alone in the inner room, that it was a long time before June, the Hottentot "boy," returned to the farmhouse./ It was quite dark, indeed, when. Dick Mullion, with an angry exclamation, unfastened the door to let him in. I w-a* delighted to hear ttteir voices, though Mullion was angry and though I feared that June might betray me. For all that time, since thie old doc tor's coming and ffoing awagr again, I had been left by myself. Mhsllion had not once crossed tihe threshold of the room where I lajp, and I confess that I had not had werve enough to call him. 'At once mastir and servant began a long wrangle, wltfch was carried on in en undertake, /that it miglxt not reach my eaju. \Mullion was up braiding, tl* Hottentot sullenly ex postulating^ protesting thus much I oould gather from their respective tones. Then there was' .silence again, though^ I could judge Vby the sounds they made as they moved about, out' of my sight, that 'both .were stilt in the 'worst of tempers. And still neither of thorn oame in to me. The candles hadJ long ainee -been lighted in the kitchen, where also the flame of the fire Uielped to &*ive light. But the little stream of brightness which came in through the jdooxway and made one "yellow patch on the rough, dirty flo«r and disoolot ed -wall of the room where I lay, was* all the illumination vutuchsafeid to me.\ And my room, whiah had onbfy one window and was not tolo well lighted in the broadest sunshine* became more of a dungeon, than ever in these' cir oumstances. Tor there was little glv.ss left in the panes^ which had! been mended for my benefit witH brown pa per and a -tangle of tTees and btushe* grew outsifle, so close that the light est breeae 7nade their branches srtofrike, with' an in itating tap-tap-tap, against such glass, as was left. At last thei dreadful silence wsts broken by Mfillion, who gave some or der, sullenly 1 and! in a low voice, to June.

I asked for a light, but before obey ing mv request, tjio. man slipped a lot Yer into my liand. In return I hur riedly j?ave him the promised piece pf gold, and then ho wont away soft ly across the patch of li&ht into the adjoining room. When he came back, it was without the oandlo I had asked for, "Can't have light, baas,"1 said the man, shaking his hen4 and pointing at the roam where his master was. "No light in here.. Baas not allajv light in here." I was enraged at thla spiteful de nial, as 14 seemed to me, of such a sim ple request. I could not even read the precious letter I held in my hand, which I guessed to be from the old doctor. I beckoned June to my side. "What's your master doing in there?" I asked in a low voice. "He reading, baas, alvta^s reading," answered the man. "Beading what?" asked' I, wath curj osit*. "Oh, book-wtjooi,—atovajf6, always," I was interested. What could it be that engaged Dick Mullion so deeply? I, remembering the book I had found in his possession on board ship, was The man shook his head. "He keep book, papers close, vecy close, baas." 1 By a vigorous nod the man assent- 1 ed. He heardi. be would try to do as S I wished. But it was hard, very hard, His master kept the books so close. And before I oould say any more fco him a dark shadow blocked out tho candle light, and Dick Mullion himself stood in tho doorway. I oould not see JUs faco, but there was, to my eyes, something threaten ing in his very attitudo. However, I was ill, weary, reckless. Without car ing much what the oonsequenoes might be of my indiscretion I ques tioned him at once. "Wasn't that the doctor I heard at the door some time ago?" "Yes, I dare say you heard him. He was there," answered Dick, surlily. "Why didn't you let him come in?" I went on, querulously. Thecc was a pause. Then he said shortly "Well, that's my affair. You shouldn't have sent for him.' Aren't you satisfied with the care you get herj?»l "Yes, yes," said I, "I suppose it's the best you can give me. But it's' not as good as tht care 1 should get if I could have the doctor- and my own servants about me, You won't even let me have a light." "Better for your eyes that, you shouldn't," said he, shortly. And then he advanced into, the room, and passing by my bed, went up to the one poor Window, and pressed his face agaiaat a spot where a bit of the glass was left. "Does the tapping of the branches disturb you?" he asked, shortly. "Sometimes," said I. "Ah, well, if you are disturbed by it again, call out, and I'll come in and see to it, have 'em pushed away or something. Do you hear?" He spoke with anxious peremptori ness which surprised me. But I was tired out with surprises in connection with this man. I assented sullenly and he went out. It was some time after this when I heard the big door, of the kitchen open, and it was only a few minutes later that June came softly and quickly into my room, bent double, and carrying something close to his chest. He ran up to my bed, put the precious thing he carried down beside me, and whispering "Quick, quick, baas, he not gone very far," he went baek again and brought me a candle. "Quick, quick!" he repeated. "I go watch, baas. And when I oame back, you give me books." He disappeared into the kitchen to vratch and I, much agitated by this crudden and unexpected fulfillment of my wish, tore the envelope of the let ter June had brought me. It was, as I had supposed, an answer to my note to the land old doctor. "My Dear Mr. Blair: I am rejoiced to hear from you, as I had bean in a state of the sraatast anxiety as to what had become ot you. I thank Heaven you are wth Disk, who will take the b»st care of you.

Delighted as I was to see the desff old boy's handwriting again, I only read it' through once, so anxious was I to examine these books and papers of young Mullio&'s be-fore their own ers should come back. As I had half expected, the first one I took up was that same book on -poi sons which I had taken from youngi Mullion'a pocket on board ship. oould read a little ef it, though it was in a sort of deg-datin for the most part, and I soon discovered that it was nof a work on poisons pur ind simple, as I had at first supposed, that it con sisted for the most paxtx a rambling, and fantastic account of some system) of philosophy, whioU by the words used I knew must be connected with! the medieval sludgr of alchemy. Here and there throughout the book were papers inserted, bearing copious notes in a neat, small harnd. These notes were in English, and the feln lowing is a sample of them "The five entities, or causes ot dis eases. 1—(Ens artrorum. 2—(Ens ve neni. 3—Baa naturale. 4—Ens spirit* uale. 5—Ens deal*." There followed a strange rhapsody about "stars," and then oame a curious passage, arguing that the "sidereal body of man," whatever that might? mean, outlived his material body, and that at the moment of dissolution for the materia) body, there was el point of time in which 4he "stars be.

These words were? "Aati motiyl opium: mercury." I shut the book with a shiver. Sure* I ly these were the lucubrations of amad I man. Even as a horrible thought came into my mind, June came in and, snatching the book from me, told me in a hoarse whisper that hie master was coming back. 1 In another moment I was again slope in the darkness. 1 very anxious to know. "Do you think you could bring me 1 the books to see, when he's out?" asked I. Bui this answer made me only the more determined that I would oontrive to see what this literature was that 1 absorbed my jailer so deeply. "If you can bring them to mc, these books and papers that he reads so constantly," whispered I close to June's ear, "1*11 try and find another gold pieoe tot you. Do you hear?"
