"There can be only one explanation," he muttered. "David is mad." For the moment Major Jen did not ask any more questions, for the very simple reason that he did not exactly know what course to take.

That so feeble and elderly a creature, debauched by intemperance, weak from insufficient food, should attack a vigorous young athlete like Maurice, was out of the question, even though he had the advantage of possessing the devil-stick. But here the question of the dried-up poison occurred to Jen. If the poison had evaporated by the lapse of time, the devil-stick must have been innocuous and incapable of inflicting death.

"I know to what you allude," she said, after a pause. "Dido does manufacture the drug, but only for the cure of nervous headaches."

"I must say, Elinor," she began, in response to a question, "that it's very different from what you girls led me to expect."
