"Quite a different thing. I read in his hand that he would be subject to a state of life in death." When the major had seen her carriage drive away he returned to look after the devil-stick, and examined it long and carefully.

Jen was more certain than ever that Etwald and the negress had stolen the devil-stick and had slain Maurice with it. But the theft of the body! It was that which puzzled him. He could understand why Etwald wanted Maurice removed from his path. He could explain, on those grounds, why the devil-stick had been stolen.

"Then down through the bushes to that winding lane, I suppose?" said Jen. "I know all that; but afterward?" "Because I guess the name." "Oh, Doris!" was all she found to say, as she stretched eager hands toward her. Disturbed by the unexpected appearance of David, and seeing from his expression that he was bent upon making himself disagreeable, Jen hastily interposed to prevent a quarrel between the two young men..
