CHAPTER I.
One might truly say that never was
witnessed snch a scene of tumnlt and
confusion within the walls of the old
parliament house ip Edinburgh as upon
the second day of the Cruikshank poi-
so'.iiugease. Of the passages converging
to the high court of justiciary not a
hand's breadth of pavement was to be
seen, nothing save the heads of an eager,
panting, struggliug multitude. Here
and there in a common epidemic of bnd
temper, fashionable bonnets fluttered
and tossed and jostled each other; in tho
outskirts of tlio crush anxious youug
wii<s hovered about iu vaiu attempts to
save tho fashicuablo bonnets from ill
treatment, while aliove till rose tho
clamor of mingled shouts, imprecations,
trampling* and pushing*.
"It's jiositively illegal—a shocking
breach of rules—absolute contempt of
court t" gasped Mr Salomou, dean of
faculty, as be was shot into jail with
his wig In one bund aud a crushed Lun-
dlo of briefs in the other "Do some-
thing, usher iXm't stand gapiu<? in
that helpless way Clear the corridors
wid stop that nw !" he cricd angrily, as
lie prortx-ded to adjust tho disorder of
his apparel.
Thus bidden, tho functionary address-
ed monuted a bench and called for or-
der and silence, with as much authority
as a feeble presence and a feebler voico
could command and with as little re-
sult as might have been expected of one
endowed, whereupon another indi-
vidual, of hybrid appearance suggestive
of both beadle and waiter, sprang to a
similar point of vantage and lustily lent
his aid
i^tan back, ma'am! Don't shove, la-
dies! Ye won't get in any sooner by
hovin!"
"Let 1110 in, then!" screamed a thin
lady, waving aloft a bag of sandwiches.
"Where's yer ticket?" roared Hybrid.
"1 havt n t get one—diilii t know they
were necessary "
Well, r« t out aurl clou t block the
door, woman 1"
I'm no woman: I'm Dr Simpson's
wife."
'Hang Dr Simpson! Stan back."
'Let her in and have done with it!"
came an impatient churn.* from tho mob.
"Confound ye! Come in, then. " And,
with the united efforts of Hybrid and
n«her, Mrs Simpson was successfully
extracted and smilingly landed in court.
"1 say, usher," began a calm indi-
vidual who had pained an easy admit-
tance through a side door, "what's the
meaning of all this commotion?"
"What's that ye're sayin?"
"I was asking tho meaning of this
commotion."
"Guid sakos!" yelled Hybrid excited
ly, turning a hot and astonished visage
at his questioner. "Perhaps ye'd like
uie to sit down and tell ye a tale. Move
out of the way, ye fool, aud let them
people pass.''
The maligned man, serenely heedless
of this insult to his curiosity, sauntered
iway peacefully and buttonholed a less
animated person.
"Can you tell me, sir, the reason for
all this excitement?"
"The medical witnesses are to be ex-
amined today, and Dr. Angus Campbell
will be called to complete his evidence,"
shouted the gentleman above the uproar
"But is that a sufficient reason why
the impenetrable granitic Edinburgh
should behavo like a volcano?"
"Maybe it isn't, but I suppose the
real cause lies in that sensational state
ment of Dr Campbell's yesterday be
fore the adjournment."
"And who, may I ask, is Dr Camp
bell?" persisted the stranger tranquilly.
"Tho greatest living toxicologist,'
vociferated the other.
"Ah, I see. But what's a toxicolo-
gist?"
"A fellow who's well up in poisons
and that sort of thing. "
" I understand. Yes—and—what was
tho sensational"—
"Excuse ma I can't shout any more.
Read that and find out for yourself,"
bellowed his informant as he thrust in-
to his hand a copy of the morning pa-
per and tore himself away, leaving the
inquisitive stranger to seat himself next
to a young man of professional though
shabby and threadbare appearance, who,
to judge by his gestures and readiness
to volunteer information, might bo in-
ferred to be personally interested in the
ovents of the day
Shortly afterward the courtroom be-
oame crowded to suffocation with a
flushed and disheveled gathering, the
tumult suddenly ceased as judge and
jury took their places and the prisoners
entered the dock, and tho proceedings
began.
When the venerable, white haired
witness in whom centered the interest
of the day gravely stepped into the box
and rested his hands upon the ledge,
the audience rustled in their seats and
bent forward in breathless silence lest
a word of the evidence should be lost,
while the seedy young man, unable to
control bis excitement, whispered hur-
riedly to his neighbor:
"That's Dr. Campbell; finest man in
the kingdom; my greatest friend and
benefactor."
Turning to the witness, the lord ad-
vocate commenced the day's examina-
tion by saying:
"Before your lordship rose yesterday
I had occcasion to ask witness a ques-
tion which I desire to put to him again.
Dr Campbell, is there any poison
known to the medical profession which
is fatal and which leaves no trace of
its presence after death?"
"As far as I am aware there is no
guch poison—known—to—the—medical
—profession."
The answer came slowly and hesitat-
ingly, as if the witness felt a painful
reluctance in expressing his opinion.
"Is there any such drug known to
you yourself?" was the next question.
Again the same expression of pain
fell upon the countenance of the old
scientist as he paused under the search-
ing eye of the counsel and then turned
upon the judge a mute appeal for for-
bearance. But finding neither hope nor
mercy upon the stolid face before him
he answered in a low voice:
"There is."
"SilenceI" cried the usher as a long
drawn breath quivered through the
thick atmosphere and low whisperings
ran along the benches.
'' In view at the fact that the prisoner
has a wide knowledge of scientific ques-
tions, is it your opinion that that same
poison or one of similar qualities might
have been administered by the nriwroer
at the bar?"
"It is not,r
"Why do you think it Is improbable?"
"Because the deceased lady exhibited
distinot symptoms of poisoning, while
the drug of which I speak gives rise to
none."
"Is the court, then, to understand,"
asked the lord advocate in an incredu-
lous tone, "that there exists a drug,
tnown only to yourself, which is fatal-
ly poisonous, which sets up no physical
symptom and which leaves no post mor-
tem trace within the body?"
"Yes, that is my meaning exactly,"
answered tho witness.
"And pray, Dr Campbell, what is
tho name of this mysterious drug?"
"Stop, in heaven'8name!" exclaimed
tho judge, with a sudden emphasis
which made every one start in his seat
When the full import of tho question

fi-ll npon the people, every face grew
pale mid every knee trembled at the
awfnl solemnity of the moment.
"My lord. ' said the counsel in a low
vou-e, raising his blanched face until he
looked at the judge, "had 1 but for a
moment realized the gravity of the
question it would never have been ut-
tered. "
"What a terrible world this would be
if your serrt t bad been divulged in open
court, Dr Campbell," said the seedy
voting man to his friend and benefac-
tor. when they had left the courts of
justice and were directing their steps
homeward.
"That it would, Gardner. No one
would lie safe. The crimes of the Bor-
gias would sink into oblivion and be-
come trivial in comparison with the
deeds which might bo perpetrated if the
world once had the drug iu its power. "
"But the poison would soon find its
antidote if it ever became known to sci-
entists?" hazarded Gardner.
"What would bo the use of searching
for an antidote at all if the administra-
tion of the poison is followed by no
symptom? Its criminal employment
would not bo suspected. People would
leave tho world as silently and mysteri-
ously as a breath of wind, and no one
would bo any the wiser. No, no. Never
mind the antidote. If the poison should
ever become publicly known, search for
its pathological signs, find out its effect
upon tho system, and then the drug
will become too dangerous a weapon to
bo handled by criminals." Presently
the old doctor continued: "You must
help me to destroy it this very evening
I shall not feel safe until I have got rid
of the small quantity which I have in
tho house and placed it out of every-
body's reach. Come to the library after
dinner, Edward, and give mo your as-
sistance. ''
"Very well; I shall do so," respond-
ed Dr Gardner as they stopped at their
own residence in 6 Catharine sqnare
»( the Thfns* Which Crery Good
Honiekc t per Should Know.
"Our grandmothers did without bak-
ing powder and were not sensible of
any difficulty in preparing quick
dough," writes Ella Morris Kretschmar
in The Woman's Home Companion.
" But one wonders if results were not
oftentimes crude because of the nice
care necessary in using soda. In fact,
there are certain legends respecting
greenish yellow or spotted biscuit at
which the present generation of house-
keepers smile, thanks to baking pow-
der. Soda, an alkali very injurious to
the stomach, should never be used with-
out an acid to render it a neutral salt,
as cream of tartar, muriatic acid or
sour milk, and the proportion must be
exact or the mixture will be either acid
or alkaline.
"Pure haking powders are simply a
mixture of bicarbonate of soda and
cream of tartar in their proper proiior-
tions, with perhaps twice their com-
bined weight of rice flour, cornstarch
or plain flour to insure their keeping.
If really pure, they cannot be called in-
jurious, the danger lying in the use of
powders having impure ingredients, of
which quantities are doubtless sold
daily. So sensible have housekeepers
become of these adulterations that many
are going back to tho use of soda and
cream of tartar, tho use of which, as in-
dicated, requires both intelligence and
caro. If one iS dependent upon the
-average cook a standard liakiug powder
is the safest reliance.
"In the making of quick doughs (by
use either of baking powder or soda and
cream of tartar) there are two points
not given in any cookbook, so far as tho
writer knows, which add greatly to per-
fection in results. To make such dough
proceed as follows:
"Into one quart of flenr (measured
before sifting) put a level teaspoonful
of salt and 2 heaping teaspoonfuls of
baking powder, or a level teaspoon-
ful of six la and 2 rounding ones of
cream of tartar, mix thoroughly with
the hands and then sift twice. Next
add a heaping tablespoonful of butter
or butter and lard mixed, rub up
lightly with the hands and again put
through the sieve, pressing the last
heavier part through with tho fingers or
hand. Now toss the mixture lightly
about as when first putting in the bak-
ing powder, and it will be found that
the shortening is distributed with per-
fect evenness through the flour. Have
ready a scant pint of sweet milk in a
mixing bowl and into this put half of
the flour. Beat hard for a few minutes,
when the mixture will be as smooth as
sa'iu Add rapidly the rest of tho flour,
roil out quickly, cut (if for biscuit) and
bale * nt, once in a rather hot oven.
"tu.ne flours require more wetting
than others, but the rule for guidance
is 'a dough as soft as can be handled.'
A littlo flour more or less will not
spoil the general result if other direc-
tions are carefully followed.''

CHAPTER II
When Edward Gardner found himself
in bis own room npon tbat same night,
he was moved to great stealthiness and
caution in his behavior, for he not only
tiptoed about in his stockings, but also,
before closing the door and scrutinizing
its fastenings, stepped back into the
corridor aud listened in the stooping at-
titude of still attention, until the throb-
bing of his temples was distinctly audi-
ble in his ears.
Having secured himself against tho
possibility of sudden interruption, he
took off his coat with a careful aud de-
liberate movement, and then drew from
its outer breart packet a waterproof
bath bag, whence he extracted a drip-
ping sponge. This he squeezed over a
glass tumbler, and having smelled and
examined with absorbing interest the
liquid therein contained he poured it
into a pair of glass stoppered vials,
which he labeled "Bimeconate of mor-
phia," muttering as he wrote, "As well
one name as another. "
Ho then seated himself upon the
nearest chair, and with his chin resting
npon his open palm, his eyes staring
before him in vacant abstraction, he
became plunged in deep, silent thought
What were his reflections can never be
known to mortal being, but of their re
suit upon the physical man the knowl
edge is certain
A shudder passed over him, perspira-
tion broke out npon his face, and as a
long sigh escaped his lips he passed a
wet hand over his brow as if to remove
some mental picture which troubled
and oppressed him. He had barely done
so when a tremor seized upon his limbs
and startled bim to activity, but his
movements were as uncertain as those
of intoxication. He stepped unsteadily
forward to possess himself of the vial
which stood upon the table, but his
hands clutched the air as ho fell back
in stupor and forgetfulness.
"In—the—name—of — all—that's —
reasonable—what—does—this—mean?''
gasped Dr. Gardner when he sat up in
bed on the following morning and look-
ed with astonishment round the apart-
ment. Upon the carpeted floor lay a
portmanteau, ripped open and cut in
fantastic curves, the leather hanging
from it in strips. In a moment he had
bounded from bed and was kneeling up-
on the floor, gazing in bewilderment at
the wreck of his property. Then he
hastily stepped across the room to ex-
amine the lock of his door. Both it and
the window bar were intact. Surely he
was dreaming, he thought, as he sat
upon the edge of the bed to collect his
faculties And then his eyes rested up-
on the pillow.
"Mercy on me! What has happened
to this?" he exclaimed
Also slashed and cut as if by the
knife of a frenzied maniac The whole

CONSUMPTIVES' HEADS.
A Medical Man Says That as a Rule They
Are Flat Sided.
Consumptives have flat sided heads
This interesting discovery has been
made by Dr. Mark I. Knapp of New
York. His paper on the subject, read
before the New York County Medical
association, is printed in The Medical
Recorn.
One of the conclusions of Dr. Knapp
is that tuberculosis can neither be in-
fectious nor communicable. This is the
opinion held by Dr. Shrady, editor of
The Medical Record, and is the opinion
not held by Dr. Wilson and his associ-
ates of the New York city board of
health.
However this deduction is regarded
by medical men generally, Dr. Knapp
does not intend to be understood as say-
ing that the fact that a man has a flat
sided head (called medically a piano-
parietal head) either already has or that
he of necessity is doomed to have tuber-
culosis. That this assumption would bo
absurd Dr. Knapp shows by saying that
centenarians and athletes are recruited
from the ranks of tho plano-parietals.
Nor does he wish to be understood as
meaning that tuberculosis modifies tho
contour of a head which previously had
been of a different shape. Dr. Knapp
says his statements are substantiated by
a few hundred cases, of which 477 were
collected from four New York hospitals.
In all these cases only four exceptions
to the rule were found.
The most important conclusion
reached by Dr. Knapp is that the foun-
dation of tuberculosis is laid in early
life, and therefore the way to save the
adult is to guard the child.
A Noble Work.
The Woman's Relief corps, in na-
tional convention at Buffalo, has accom-
plished a noble work. According to the
report made by the national president,
Mra Agnes Hitt of Indianapolis, "it
has endowed and supports a national re-
lief corps home for the wives and moth-
ers of soldiers and dependent army
nurses; it has led in the founding of
homes in Michipan, Iowa, Wisconsin,
California, Illino.fi, Indiana and Mis-
souri ; it founded and supports the me-
morial home in Pennsylvania; it secured
legislation for the founding of a home
in New York; it secured the legislation
that provides government aid to the des-
titute army nurses; it established indus-
trial training for girls at the Ohio Or-
phan 's home; it has built memorial halls
and monuments, and it secured a united
movement for patriotic teaching and a
flag on every schoolhouse. "

HER PEOPLE.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
