lila table looked over the bottles- he bad ben using in the mixture let an unearthly cry and fell over In the swoon in which you find him Thats a very strange story young man replied the doctor

spoke the physician passed a poothing over brew the mans eyelids fluttered- In a moment the lids went up and Ebens stared out at the little group around him strange that look is whispered- Bob edging closer to his cousin with wonder in his face Feel better inquired the doctor Eben looked at him but at tempted no reply Then Ids eyes and he glanced from one to the other of the tee In front of Suddenly his eyes met of Bob The young man gaze and stirred on the bad His mouth and Jie made a frantic effort to say something but his tongue seemed dumb and all that was was a shrill shriek that caused Bob to take a step backward Cant you say what you want to the physician asked taking up one of Ebens hands and smoothing it CHugglusslug The sounds Is- suing from Ebens mouth were unintel- ligible but the trio bent low to listen However nothing could be learned from his unintelligible cries- It is as I feared said the physi- cian The dent he received from his fall hae broken down his mind He re- members something that he wants to tell but can find no way to express it Phil looked steadily Bob as the physician said this and he noticed a strange in hie cousins face He could not exactly interpret It but It left him with a chilled feeling There was a certain about the whole affalr Dr Lyoas to below announced a servant entering the doom Dr Lyons was John Stevens family doctor

him with an evident question in his voles Yes replied the doctor vaguely Then he with much Why do you ask that Because uncle took a peculiar looking cough drop Just before What do mean Doctor Lyons seeing the veins on Phils fare swell and noting Jhw crafty look in Bobs eyes At that moment there came a wail from the next room I 1 the plaintive voice drawled down to noth ing Why that sounds like old Eben family physician It is Phil Come we must CHAPTER V THE BOX OF COUGH DROPS listened to the gurgle of old voice for some time but nothing could be learned Doctor Lyons seamed to think that the blow on the paralyzed his tongue l ut came to believe in the insanity idea for Eben could not even write what he wanted to explain There was however a leek of pain in his OreS that showed plainly he had- a story ho wished to tell and that if he could but tell it the mystery would he cleared up Bob excused himself shortly and went downstairs Phil heard him slam the outer door after him and wondered vaguely it his cousin were going to run- away from it all Somehow ho could the affair in but one light Bob had poisoned uncle and was trying to jrake it appear that Phil had done the deed For an hour after Bob left Phil sat in consultation with the doctor They advanced and rejected a hundred the- ories finally coming back to the only plausible one that John Stevens had such a thing Was there for Bob There was no motive for Eben to do such a thinng Was there for Bob It was late when the doctor left the coroner had been notified and a sitting arranged for the first thing in the morning We will see what the coroners Jury thinks of the case said Doctor Lyons as he bade Phil good night Phil Daring sat for some time with his uncles corpse Then with a sMver he passed into tne room where lay servant had fallen Into a slum- ber and his breathing was regular The doctor left one of to nurse him through the night There being to do and hav ing had a strenuous night of it Phil went to his room down Suddenly ho thought of the courfc he to his uncle It couldnt he possible tta th con- tained poison to ms dinnercoat he took ottt the hex and put one of the drops in his mouth It tasted sWbet and he sucked- it to the end with no IHertects The poison idea was absurd He dropped the halffull box into a pocket of the coat he had anti smoked a thoughtfully hour Then Tie bok off his cqat and threw JilmoalC on the bed j j He must have fallen asleep easily for it was almost dawn he attracted by a peculiar sound But he was too sleepy to just what had bothered and dozedoff again with out any trouble- In the morning he slept on as though loss of rest A maid awakened him at S3 advising him that the coroners jury would sit at the house at 10 oclock Phil jumped from bed threw or his clothes went to the den where preparations were already being made assistants were work ing about helping Dr Lyons who was making a preliminary examination of the body order to live his opinion- to the Jury How i Eben this asked Phil after he had expressed surprise at the physicians early return He is easily but is still un able to say anything coherently re plied ide other Ga and with him ht may be able to find exprovjlon for his thoughts and we dont want to miss a Phil started for the room and met Bob Just out Good morning- A black look w6 the only reply he but suddenly Bob turned and called after him genially Good morn- ing What had caused the sudden change Phil could not imagine but he did not worry about it Suddenly the thought flashed through his mind that old managed o impart some- thing to Bob or else the young fellow was pleased over the certainty that Eben would never be able to ell his story Phil went in and sat beside old abe The man did not seem to recognise hhr He looked at him with a ex pre in his dazed pitiful that hurt Phil Bab IMIM struggled ESben stra iiur hte mouth wide open and staring at- Phil Daring could not understand that word the old fellow was

stfetned that the man was more con fused in his efforts at explanation and Phil feared that nothing would ever be learned from him If Eben couU only then the true story of tie tragedy would come outPhil could not help but compare the situation two days before with that of the Then everything had been running along had been happy Alice Arlington his uncle was alive and and now how completely everything had changed Phil suddenly heard the tramp of footsteps coming tip the stairs and vaguely realized that It was the coro ndrH jury assembling for their sitting What would they find Dr Lyons came to the door a few minutes later and told Phil that his presence was needed at the inquest young fellow followed him into the den and looked around slowly On table in the center of the room rest ed his uncles body and around it sal a group of men including Bob and the footman who had been dispatched for Phil the night before At the head of tho table sat an aus- tere cold looking man Phil understood- at a glance that ho was the coroner- It was not quite time for the Jury to convene They sat talking in hushed voices looking around with that air of mystery that pervades such a group of m n- One of the coughed The others looked ua in a startled manner The was repeated Give hint one of those cough drops- of yours Phil drawled Bob fumbled in his pocket Yes well want tho e in evidence too broke in the covoner Phil had mechanically remoVed the box from his pocket where he had placed it the night before He handed it over to Bob who sat near him wed better look at these first to be sure said Pob Quickly opening the box he took out one of the drops and pressed it with hl3 thumb It was reduced to a sticky mass at hie touch Nitric acid cried Lyons examin- ing the brown paste In Bobs hand reached over like a flash picked up the box that had fallen Holding It up after a quick look at it he cried This is not the same box Its a new one Iy initials were penciled on the ether and It wa

been carrying He had noticed in an Instant that the box wajB new one and nqt the medicine had changed he did not kno v r IN lw ViCiwi V ii But suddenly he thought of how ae had been awakened by a noise that morning and figured that It would have been possible for a person to slip into his zoom and change tIme boxes The coroner took possession of this new evidence and tho jury was called- at once Bob toW his story in the same way that he had repeated It to the doctor- It made an Impression on the jury for he toM also of time cough drop that Phil had handed to his uncle after dnner that night Then Phil told his story of what he had seen when he entered the boom but he did not accuse Bob for he had no facts with which to back up his belief in his cousins guilt Dr Lyons next the stand and told of his examination of the dead mans stomach Without a doubt death had been by nitric acid Having given his simple statement- of facts launched forth into a dls cuaaton of theory of the nitric acid having been administered In a cough drop He supported Phil and that it would almost be impossible for a lo live as long as Stevens did if had been poisoned right after dinner He also stated that

interested but not convinced The of Eben then introduced by Dr Lyons He explain- ed that there was a very peculiar cir Involved in tilt old nuns Evidently Eben lad witnessed a trag edy There was more to he assured them than the sliglit theory that Phil had given his uncle poIson in a cough drop The doctor pointed te the lack of mo- tive on part and though hIS re marks were umioco ary the coroner allowed him to contiriue as he himself scouted accepted theory of the pol onod cough drops All possible details were entered and discussed and it was only aftor a long and heated argumentthat the jury brought in its verdict Neither Phil nor Ebb had realized the full Importance of this preliminary protested innocence and were but little concerned with the jury that was to decide the cause of their uncles death But when the verdict arrived both cousins sat up with a surprise and alarm that they had not dreamed of before- It lied all come so suddenly The cold hard voice of the coroner was nouncing the decision while a clerk wrote it down We find John Stevens was mur- dered between the hours of 9 and 10 oclock last night in his room on the third floor of lila home The murder was committed through the agency of nitric acid and the jury Is undecided ens nephews of the deceased commit- ted the crime It Is believed however that one or the other is guilty and on that belief the jury recommends that warrants be issued for the arrest of both Bob huddled down in a shapeless limp The verdict had been so unex that he lost all control of him selfPhil too had not considered arrest as a possible outcome The young fel- low had been so wrought up over the death of his uncle Betas susplciin of him that he had thought of little else Now It all eame to him with a sud- denness that took his breath away He was to be arrested charged with the nu rder of his uncle whom he hail rev ere need and loved above everything in the world Even as this thought came to him two bluecoated

Yes replied the doctor vaguelyThen he with muchWhy do you ask that

Because uncle took a peculiarlooking cough drop Just before

What do mean DoctorLyons seeing the veins on Phils fareswell and noting Jhw crafty look inBobs eyes

At that moment there came a wailfrom the next room

I 1 theplaintive voice drawled down to nothing

Why that sounds like old Ebenfamily physician

It is Phil

Come we must

CHAPTER VTHE BOX OF COUGH DROPS

listened to the gurgle of oldvoice for some time but

nothing could be learned DoctorLyons seamed to think that the blowon the paralyzed his tonguel ut came to believe in the insanityidea for Eben could not even writewhat he wanted to explain

There was however a leek of painin his OreS that showed plainly he had-a story ho wished to tell and that ifhe could but tell it the mystery wouldhe cleared up

Bob excused himself shortly and wentdownstairs Phil heard him slam theouter door after him and wonderedvaguely it his cousin were going to run-away from it all

Somehow ho could the affair inbut one light Bob had poisoneduncle and was trying to jrake it appearthat Phil had done the deed

For an hour after Bob left Phil satin consultation with the doctor Theyadvanced and rejected a hundred the-ories finally coming back to the onlyplausible one that John Stevens hadsuch a thing Was there for Bob

There was no motive for Eben to dosuch a thinng Was there for Bob

It was late when the doctor left thecoroner had been notified and a sittingarranged for the first thing in themorning

We will see what the coroners Jurythinks of the case said Doctor Lyonsas he bade Phil good night

Phil Daring sat for some time withhis uncles corpse Then with a sMverhe passed into tne room wherelay

servant had fallen Into a slum-ber and his breathing was regularThe doctor left one ofto nurse him through the night

There being to do and having had a strenuous night of it Philwent to his room down

Suddenly ho thought of the courfche to his uncle

It couldnt he possible tta th con-tained poison

to ms dinnercoat he took otttthe hex and put one of the drops in hismouth It tasted sWbet and he sucked-it to the end with no IHertects Thepoison idea was absurd

He dropped the halffull box into apocket of the coat he had antismoked a thoughtfullyhour Then Tie bokoff his cqat and threw JilmoalC on thebed j j

He must have fallen asleep easilyfor it was almost dawn heattracted by a peculiar sound But hewas too sleepy to just what hadbothered and dozedoff again without any trouble-

In the morning he slept on as thoughloss of rest A maid awakened him atS3 advising him that the coronersjury would sit at the house at 10oclock

Phil jumped from bed threw or hisclothes went to the den wherepreparations were already being made

assistants were working about helping Dr Lyons who wasmaking a preliminary examination ofthe body order to live his opinion-to the Jury

How i Eben this askedPhil after he had expressed surpriseat the physicians early return

He is easily but is still unable to say anything coherently replied ide other Ga and withhim ht may be able to find exprovjlonfor his thoughts and we dont want tomiss a

Phil started for the room and metBob Just out

Good morning-A black look w 6 the only reply he

but suddenly Bob turned andcalled after him genially Good morn-ing

What had caused the sudden changePhil could not imagine but he did notworry about it

Suddenly the thought flashedthrough his mind that old

managed o impart some-thing to Bob or else the young fellowwas pleased over the certainty thatEben would never be able to ell hisstory

Phil went in and sat beside old abeThe man did not seem to recognise hhrHe looked at him with a expre in his dazed pitiful

Di dl di went on the old fellowbut Phil could make nothing out ofthat

Half an hour he sat beside Eben bilearned absolutely nothing It stfetnedthat the man was more confused in his efforts at explanation andPhil feared that nothing would ever belearned from him

If Eben couU only then thetrue story of tie tragedy would comeoutPhil could not help but compare thesituation two days before with that ofthe Then everything hadbeen running along hadbeen happy Alice Arlington hisuncle was alive and and nowhow completely everything hadchanged

Phil suddenly heard the tramp offootsteps coming tip the stairs andvaguely realized that It was the corondrH jury assembling for their sittingWhat would they find

Dr Lyons came to the door a fewminutes later and told Phil that hispresence was needed at the inquest

young fellow followed him intothe den and looked around slowly On

table in the center of the room rested his uncles body and around it sala group of men including Bob and thefootman who had been dispatched forPhil the night before

At the head of tho table sat an aus-tere cold looking man Phil understood-at a glance that ho was the coroner-

It was not quite time for the Juryto convene They sat talking in hushedvoices looking around with that air ofmystery that pervades such a group ofm n-

One of the coughed The otherslooked ua in a startled manner The

was repeatedGive hint one of those cough drops-

Yes well want tho e in evidencetoo broke in the covoner

Phil had mechanically remoVed thebox from his pocket where he hadplaced it the night before

He handed it over to Bob who satnear him

wed better look at thesefirst to be sure said Pob

Quickly opening the box he took outone of the drops and pressed it with hl3thumb It was reduced to a stickymass at hie touch

Nitric acid cried Lyons examin-ing the brown paste In Bobs hand

reached over like a flashpicked up the box that had fallen

Holding It up after a quick look atit he cried

This is not the same box Its a newone Iy initials were penciled on theether and It wa from rubbingin pocket

The Jurors looked at him curiouslyThere was doubt expressed in the eyesof every man present

He had noticed in an Instant that thebox wajB new one and nqt the

medicine had changed he did notkno v r IN lw ViCiwi V ii

But suddenly he thought of how aehad been awakened by a noisethat morning and figured that It wouldhave been possible for a person to slipinto his zoom and change tIme boxes

The coroner took possession of thisnew evidence and tho jury was called-at once

Bob toW his story in the same waythat he had repeated It to the doctor-It made an Impression on the juryfor he toM also of time cough dropthat Phil had handed to his uncle afterdnner that night

Then Phil told his story of what hehad seen when he entered the boombut he did not accuse Bob for he hadno facts with which to back up hisbelief in his cousins guilt

Dr Lyons next the stand andtold of his examination of the deadmans stomach Without a doubt deathhad been by nitric acid

Having given his simple statement-of facts launched forth into a dlscuaaton of theory of the nitric acidhaving been administered In a coughdrop

He supported Phil and thatit would almost be impossible for alo live as long as Stevens did if

had been poisoned right after dinnerHe also stated that there was evidence
