CHAPTER III.—Continued.
At sight of the govprness I Haw
Angele start., and a torrent of color
swept over her sweet, wlilto face.
Whatever her emotion, she controlled
It by a violent effort, and clasped her
little daughter to her heart.
"Mammn," cried the child, "you
liovn been so ill—they would not let
mf omo to you."
' Yes, dear one," said Angele,
"Mamma has been very ill."
"And are you well now?" urged the
little girl.
"Yes, darling, quite well," replied
tier mother In a low, sad voice.
"Hut, oh, Mamma!" naiil Marcelle,
"Papa has gone away forever, so Se-
norita says. Is that true? Will he
not come back some day?"
The cry of anguish that broke from
Angole's pallid lips resounds yet in
*ny ears. She rose abruptly, and, al-
most pushing the child from her,
turned fiercely upon the governess.
"How dare you speak to my child
of her father?"
In amazement I sprang to Angele's
side. She was trembling violently. I
supported her, and tried to calm her.
It was a remarkable and painful
scene. This pale, delicate woman re-
minded by her child's artless ques-
tionings of her cruel affliction; the
wondering little girl clinging to the
folds of her gown and crying be-
seechingly, "Mamma, Mamma, don't
look like that." Salane, mute, ob-
servant, bending her great, dusky
eyes upon iter sister; and the Senor-
lta.
I have likened Angele to a flower
and Satane to a tigress; the Senorlta
is like nothing so much as my cobra!
S' is tall and slim and serpentina
in S. jry movement. I have often
watched her walking along the shore.
She moves ever in lazy, sinuous fash-
ion and always in curves. I have
never yet seen that woman make an
angle or a sharp turn. When she sits
she coils hi elf like a snake in some
your abrupt dismissal of so excellent
a governess."
Angele drew herself up rather
proudly und answered:
"I fancy, Salane, I can decide this
matter without your Interference.
Kindly permit mo to act according to
-uy judgment- '
She broke off. Satane crouched
v.-lth cat-like grace at her side and
fixed her heavily lidded eyes upon her
sister's face.
"You had best reconsider," she said,
in a strange voice.
Angele shivered.
"Perhaps you are right, Satane,"
she said, after a pause. "I may have
been too hasty. Go, Marcelle, and call
the Senorlta. Tell her mamma
wishes to speak to her."
While the child tripped away to
find her governess, 1 mused upon the
subtle force of Satane's Influence over
her sister. What could it mean? If
over the fibers of a woman's being
wore tense with hatred they were
Angele's while addressing the Senor-
lta. She had looked like an outraged
goddess. Now, at a few words from
this strong-willed sister of hers, she
has suddenly become the most sub-
missive anil pliant of women.
Satane. too, bore a mien of exul-
tation as she rose from her kneeling
position, and, crossing the hall, leaned
against a batnboo lounge standing
there.
Over its back lay a brilliantly-
wrought scurf of gorgeous hues. She
caught it up and handled it. with < a-
ressing fingers. With her impassive,
sphinx-like face, her lustrous, Eastern
eyes, her luxurious grace, this wom-
an strangely moved me. I shut my
eyes and seemed to see a wilderness
of great reeds and huge tropical
plants about a towering palm tree,
at whose base lay, voluptuous, ter-
rible and bloOd-thirsty, the beautiful
man-eater of the jungles.
But my dream of the Orient was
somewhat rudely dispelled by little

•parlous chair. Tier hair is black—-
not blue-black, like Satane's, but jetty
and crisp. Her eyes—well, I have
seen my cobra's when she was en-
raged flash precisely the some wicked
sinister gleam that hers do now.
"Pardon me," she says In her rich,
liquid accents—the voice of the south
•—"pardon me, Senora. I meant no
harm "
"You meant no harm," Angele says,
and I can see the pulse throbbing in
her temple as she speaks; "but you
do harm, and I will have you go. You
cannot remain another day. Be so
good as to take yourself and your ef-
fects at once from my house."
The Senorita's face is not a pleas-
ant one to see. I declare she looks
more like the cobra than ever as she
glares one moment with dilating eyes
at her imperious mistress. Then,
with a mock courtesy, and without a
word, she slides—yes. actually slides
from the hall, and I mark that her
slippered feet make no sound upon
the tiled floor.
CHAPTER IV.
Angele sank back exhausted in her
chair. The strain upon her had evi-
dently been great. She closed her
eyes as if in utter weariness. Uttle
Marcelle, still terrified at the look
she had seen on her mother's face,
slung sobbing to her gown. Angele
laid her fragile little hand upon the
child's soft curls. "Don's cry, dear-
est," she murmured soothingly.
Suddenly Satane bent over her and
said: Angele, I think you have
treated poor Senorlta most shabbily.
I did not dream that you could be so
unj'ist. I -"hink you should consider
Marcelle, who now came running
back. "Senorita will not come," she
cried, in her childish treble.
"Will not?" repeated Angele, in
haughty astonishment. "What did she
say, Marcelle?"
"She said, mamma, that you could
go to the devil," piped the child.
Angele rose. "You see, Satane, to
what you have subjected me," she
said coldly; then, turning to me, she
added, "You will pardon me, cousin,
if I leave you. I am not well, and 1
will go to my room."
I offered her my arm and led her
to the stairs. She mounted slowly,
wearily. At the head she turned and
looked down at Satane. It was a
curious glance—a glance of aversion
and pleading—one I long remem-
bered. What is there between these
sisters?
I acquainted Satane with the result
of my interview with Babu. She
listened in silence until I had fin-
ished, and then calmly asked:
"If your Hindoo did not leave the
door of the cobra's cage open, who
did?"
Was this woman a witch? It was
•the very question tormenting me. I
stared at her in perplexity. She was
still handling and smoothing the silk-
en scarf, now draping it over her
black hair, now pressing it against
her velvet cheek as If she loved the
wanton luxury of color and the soft
texture of this pretty bit of silk. I
half expected to hear her purr with
pleasure as she handled it.
"I cannot conceive " 1 at length an-
swered; "but. of course, it must have
been some careless servant who was
in the room after Babu had left it
for the niuht."
"Undoubt*dly," she remarked, and,
looking straight at me, gave me ona
of her slrang#, *1ow, mocking smilea.
Then lazily rising, she left mo to my
own reflections, which, of a certainty,
wero very perplexing, to say the
least. What did she mean t/> Imply?
She has a suspicion in her mind
which she may or may not Intend to
Impart to me. Mysterious creature!
Being left alone, I decided to go to
my room and look carefully about for
any trace of disorder. If foul play
there had been, might not pome clue
be vouchsafed mo? Moreover. I had
not yet seen the cobra, and, despite
her treachery, she was still an object
of interest to me.
Therefore, when I rapped upon her
door, and slio came gliding from her
blankets and uplifted her graceful
head, and twisted and curved her
handsome body in delight at the sound
of my voice, I realized that I still had
a warm affection for this beautiful
reptile.
I bethought me that I would, In
honor of my return, give her a great
treat. The cobra is passionately fond
of arrac root and will scent it for
many rods. I had brought a small
quantity of the root with me from In-
dia. 1 never allowed anyone to glv«
her this, reserving that pleasure for
myself.
Let me see, where is the jar which
contains the arrac? Ah. yes! on the
top shelf of the cabinet, yonder. I
take It down, and, carrying it to the
light, proceed to select a bit for the
delectation of my pet.
What's this? Someone has meddled
with it. When I left for Califoruis
tho jar was a quarter filled. Now
there are only four small pieces left
in the bottom. Who has done this?
• ♦ • * *
I find myself standing by the open
window, my necktie loosened about
my throat, passing my hand uncer-
tainly again and again over my brow,
upon which the moisture stands iu
great drops.
Let me try and think calmly. Let
me recall the exact conversation. 1
must make no mistake in this. I re-
member that she stood there by tho
cabinet. She took the jar down and
asked what it contained. I told her.
She was vory particular in her ques-
tionings about tho root—-just how
much it would be safe to fee:! to the
cobra—and -and—how—far — the —•
serpent—would—scent it? As—far—
as—tho—next—room?—she—asked.
Great Heavens! Can it be?
"If your Hindoo did not leave the
door of the cobra's cage open, who
did?"
Cousin Satane, was it you?
CHAPTER V.
I have had another shock! This
time it was the Senorita that gave it
io mo.
Lot mo explain the situation of tho
rooms in the Dalrymple house. It is
an immense. Old-fashioned, three-
story mansion. The first floor is giv-
en over to drawing, reception and din-
ing rooms and the library. On the
right hand of the second story are lo-
cated the rooms of my cousin An-
gele. The gre at front room on the
left is the one which was occupied
by Dalrymple, and in which tie mot
his horrid death. Just back of that
and connecting with it, by a cur-
tained archway, is the room given
me for my varicu Indian curiosities,
and in which is i e cobra's cage. A
door at the rear 1<; ds into a long hall,
from which open various rooms—
among others the i used as nursery
and recitation room; also the Senor-
ita's apartment. My own sleeping
room and that of Satane's are on the
third floor of the house.
It might have been within an hour
after I made the discovery that my
jar of arrac root had been tampered
with that I heard stealthy footsteps
at the door which leads Into this back
hail.
1 quickly sprang behind the heavy
curtains of the deep window at which
I was still standing.
1 never had hi n able to decide
why I so secreted myself. Some in-
stinct, I suppose, sounded a note of
warning.
I had barely drawn the curtains be-
fore me when the door softly opened
and the Senorita, in traveling cos-
tume. stole in. She gave a quick, fur-
tive glance about the room, and, evi-
dently satisfied that no one was there,
glided to the cobra's cage and tapped
upon the glass. The serpent at once
responded wiri as much delight, I
could readily see, as she was accus-
tomed to show when I visited her.
"Farewell," murmured the gover-
ness, "farewell, my beauty. You are
the only creature in this accursed
house that I regret to leave. Shining,
glittering one, I would love to fondle
you, but I must not. Do not forget
me," and pressing her lips with fierce
intensity against the glass, she stood
motionless lor a moment, then with
stealthy, ophidian grace crept from
the room.
1 heard the door quietly close be-
hind her and her retreating footsteps
d'e away. I ea-.e out from my hid-
j . „g place and gave effective vent to
i my feelings in one big, round oath.

AN ERROR OF JUDGMENT
I), KINNIS (Wilt
Copyriyltfd, m3, il The Authors l^Milhing Company
Algernon Barkdale Smythe was
known locally as a snob. Some little
sense was credited to his account, but
his debts ran high. A great many
tilings wore unknown to him, but one
fact stood out so clearly in his
feeble brain that what others he
chanced to burdened with were quite
overshadowed.
There was a woman in Algernon s
town with whom he was well ac-
quainted. This woman—well, even her
enemies said she was beautiful. Alger-
non loved her with the unreasoning
love that is the love of fools, and
sometimes of strong men. In her par-
ticular circle she was known as a flirt
and coquette. Men who distrusted
their ability, along with having a cer-
tain regard for their peace of mind,
fought shy of her witching glances.
To show and emphasize the insin-
cerity of her character, and its unat-
tractiveness, the case of James was
always brought,up. He was one of
those men—quiet, reserved and in-
tense—who love not often. He had
met the woman, l.elia, some years be-
fore. A service he did for her ce-
mented an incipient friendship, which
soon began to ripen into something
more. James was slow and method-
ical, and he knew somewhat of wom-
en. With women of l.ella's type he
was, however, not so familiar. There-
fore it was that he studied her long
and carefully ere he committed him-
self.

All went well for a year so far as

a man and a very shabbily dressed
and wanton-faced woman on the
street. The two strove to pass with-

failed to accomplish this. One swilt
glance revealed it all to Lelia. With
a startled little cry, she dragged her
escort after her In frenzied haste, and
when she arrived home she dismissed
him with a curt "Good ntghtl"

It came about in a very simple mnn-

about his business without hope of re-
call. He saw how it wa.i, and made
every efTort to gain admittance to her
presence; but he was denied. Then
Lelia left the city and was gone for
months. James continued the dreary
routine of his life, and strove to for-
get that all the light and gladness of
it was no more.
When sho returned James chanced
to pass her on the street. She was
with Algernon, and he spoke to them,
but they cut him dead. A great rage
and sorrow filled his heart, so he
passed on without further ado.
Meantime tho gossips of Leila's set
had it that she and Algernon were to
be married In the spring. She
laughed when it came to her ears, but
her laugh was not to be understood.
Algernon himself attempted to look
wise when a friend told him, t;ut it
was a dismal failure. He was rich,
fair looking, descended of a family
content to spell its name "Smith," and
of average character; therefore, it is
not strange that the rumor was cur-
rently credited.
It was during a call that Algernon
made on her when the heavens fell
for him. He4 poor fool, unconscionsly
knocked out the props himself.
That day he had come upon an ex-
planation of James' behavior the night
on the street. It savored enough of
the disreputable to be a delicious
morsel for his palate. Besides, he had
a secret fear that the woman had not
yet forgotten James, and he w-as
eager to so poison her mind that her
heart would fore\er cast out the like-
ness of the man she had once loved.
So it was that Algernon dug his little
pitfall and coaxed Lelia to cross it.
"Don't you remember that fellow—
ah—let me «ei\ what was his name?
Yo», i »jvo it—JamoB. Don't you re«
merulxr him?"
£"•>! (lushed a glance at him that
would liuvo been a warning to a mna
of average intelligence, but Srnytbo
did not see It.
"Quite true." she said; "there was
such a man. What of him?"
"Nothing of Interest, nothing at alL
I chanced to think of him in connec-
tion with something I heard to-day?"
"Yes?" with rising Inflection.
"Something you heard set you to
thinking of him? That Is flattering."
"Not at all," denied Algernon, Ignor-
ing the thrust. "But, don't you know,
It was something that cast a light ou
something he did " he paused ex-
pectantly,
Leila's face was a mask, and Alger-
non could not read her thoughts.
"Something I hat he did?" she com-
mented, tentatively. "What can It all
mean?"
"Don't you know?" he said desper-
ately. "Of that—that—woman he wag
seen with on the street "
"Oh, yes," she made answer, as it
It all was now clear to her. "There
was such a woman."
"She wasn't exactly—er—nice, you
know," he blundered on.
"I heard so," was the dhidainful In-
terruption.
"She was once of a fairly respecta-
ble family," pursued Algernon, regain-
ing confidence, "but she-she fell.
Then sho left her home, and bet peo-
ple forgot that she had ever lived. Af-
terwards they left their old home and
came to this piace "
"Wait a minute," Interrupted Lelia;
"I can finish it for you. They came
to this place, but sho had preceded
them. When she knew of their arrival
she hunted them up repented of her
past misdeeds, was readmitted to the
fold, and now they live happily and
honorably. It Is an old story, and
quite commonplace."
"But this did not turn out so." Al-
gernon said triumphantly. "It 13
worse than that."
"Worse? That Is impossible."
"Indeed, no, as you will see. When
Jaraes came across her It was by ac-
cident. She had not repented, but was
continuing her evil ways. That very
night retribution overtook her, and
she was stricken with some kind of
malady. James took her to his home
and summoned the best medical aid,
but it was of no avail. In a few
weeks she was dead. James was most
devoted to her during it all. paid all
the expenses, and had her Interred In
the family burying ground. They say
lie took it very much to heart."
Algernon waited with malicious ex-
pectancy, for he knew what was com-
ing. %
Lelia was too much absorbed In her
thoughts to observe his manner. When
he paused, Bhe asked;
"What was she to him that he
should do that, and take it so to heart,
as you say?"
"Well," and there was an impress-
ive pause, "she was his wife!"
"His wife!" cried Lelia, unable to
check the cry of astonishment. Al-
gernon nodded in a satisfied manner,
and then s.-iid:
"Yes, she was his wife. He mar-
ried her when he was a young fellow.
She had it in her blood, and went to
the bad. Then they parted. Later he
heard that she was dead, and did not
iniow better until he saw her on the
street." Algernon sank back in his
chair, satisfied that he had done well.
For some minutes Lelia was silent.
The man finally became impatient,
rind, to break the suspense, asked:
"Well, what do you think of It?
Pretty rough on James, isn't it?"
in reply the woman arose and
opened the door leading to the hall.
Then she turned her great eyes upon
him in dazzling scorn.
"There!" she said, pointing to the
door. "You had better go home. You
are a mischievous Uttle cur, and if I
were a man I would thrash you!"
The man stared in dead consterna-
tion, uot believing his ears. Before
he could compose an answer, how-
ever, he was left alone in the rom,
and the sound of Lelia's light steps
came back to him as she ascended the
stairs leading to her room.
That night she wrote a very apolo-
getic little note to James, begging
him to come to see her next day. And
James came.
Dyed Young.
Burr Mcintosh was taking a photo-
graph of one of the theatrical com-
panies in town. A young girl of not
over sixteen years, with startlingly
I yellow hair tripped across the stage.
"Here comes 'The Beloved of tha
| Gods.' " whispered the manager.
"Why have you dubbed her that?"
j asked Mr. Mcintosh, with interest.
"Because she has dyed so young."—

We Paid $100,000
For Liquozone—Vet We Give Vou a 30c. Bottle f ree.
This company, after testing Liquozone
for two years in the most difficult germ
diseases, paid $100,000 for the United
States' rights. That is by far the highest
price ever paid for similar rights on any
scientific discovery.
We publish this fact to show yon the
value of Liquozone. The most worthless
product may have great claims ma le
about it; but men don't pay a price like
that save for a discovery of remarkable
worth to humanity.
Kills Inside Germs.
Liquozone alone kills germs in the body
vithoul killing the tissues, too. It is so
ertain that we publish on every bottle
,n offer of $1,000 for a disease germ that it
tnnot kill. Liquozone destroys at once
md forever the cause of any germ disease
And there is no other way to do it.
\ny drug that kills germs is a poison to
iu, and it cannot be \aken internally.
Liquozone alone can attack a trouble
1 hat is caused by inside g^rms; and it
ures diseases which medicine never
cured.
Liquid Oxygen.
Liqvozone is simply liquid oiTgen—no
drugs, no alcohol in it. It is the discovery
of Pauli. the great Gern.an chemist, who
f^ent 20 years on it. H*» object was to
such an excess of oxygen in staple
I
form into the blood that no germ could
live in any membrane or tissue.
Liquozone does that. Oxygen is Na-
ture's greatest tonic—the very source
of vitality. Its effects are exhilarating —
purifying, vitalizing. Nothing else in the
world is so good for you. But germs are
vegetables; and this excess of oxygen—
the very life of an animal—is deadly to
vegetable matter
We spend 14 days in making each
bottle of Liquozone but the result is
liquid oxygen—a product whu h will cure
diseases which no medical skill can cure
without it. It is now empl ed in every
great hospital, and indorsed by every
medical authority, the world over.
Germ Diseases.
These are the known gem diseases.
All that medicine can do for these troubles
is to help Nature evercome the germs,
and such results are indirect and un-
certain. Liquozone kills the germs,
wherever they are. and the results are in-
evitable. Bv destroying the cause of the
trouble, it invariably ends the disease,
and forever.
