US - ' — =M POISONED BOOTS By H. M. EGBERT h — —n ' (Copyright by W. G. Chapman.) I SUSPECTED Louise Carey from the first; but in that I was no dis- . fereut from the farmer’s neigh bors. John Carey had married a second time, late in life, when his , three sons were growing up to man- . hood. Jim, the eldest, was twenty; Frank, eighteen; Leonard, the young est, fourteen. John Carey -was rich, and Louise Brand had been a poor girl in the city । when the elderly man, making a busl- j ness trip there, saw her working as ( a stenographer in the lawyer’s office. The courtship was brief, and they j were married three weeks after their first meeting. i John Carey had been a close-fisted man, but a good neighbor and had I been generally esteemed. He fell un der the rule of his young wife. His : sons resented the stranger's presence ; in the home. Quarrels between father i and sons ensued. There was a bad i one a week before the farmer’s death. He changed his will, leaving every- i thing to his wife, with reversion to I Leonard, the youngest, the only one 1 who cared for his stepmother. Be- i tween the two a devoted attachment ' sprang up. < The motive for murdering John Carey? Fear lest he should change ' his will again. Three days later Carey came in from the field, where he had been binding, in high spirts. He had his supper, pulled off his boots, 1 complained of feeling ill, and lay down on the lounge. Nobody else was in the 1 room. When his wife entered, an 1 hour later, he was dead, his lower 1 limbs and body terribly swollen. It was like snake poison; the ex- 1 perts said the condition of the body ' resembled that of a man who had been ’ struck by a rattler. But there was no rattler in the house, though they were j plentiful in the field. If Carey had been killed by a snake, the poison would have taken effect before he en tered his home. John Carey was buried, and the few whispers on the part of the neigh- 1 bors died away. Jim and Frank had 1 left the house at the time of the quar rel. They started suit, alleging undue 1 influence. They had removed their 1 personal effects, including some cloth ing, the property of their father. ' Close-fisted like him, they did not see the sense of leaving his effects to ' Louise; and she offered no objection. ; It was just a month later that the second death occurred. Jim Carey had 1 gone to the stepmother’s house to talk , tilings over with her. Louise Carey was a sensible woman and had volun teered to come to a settlement. Ac cording to her story, they had practi cally reached an agreement. She had ' given her stepson tea, and he had com plained that his father’s boots hurt him and pulled them off. A few mo ments later he began to complain. She ran to the telephone and summoned the doctor, recognizing the same symp toms as those of which her husband ' had died. Before the doctor arrived, Jim was dead, and dreadfully swollen. The boots? They were a pair of high, farmers’ boots, and John Carey had worn them for nearly a year be fore his death. If there was poison in the boots, it would have taken effect , long before. Jim had worn them dur ing bis four-mile tramp from where he lived to his stepmother’s house. It was suspected that she had a store of poison, which she had secretly admin istered. The police ransacked the house from roof to cellar, but could find notliing. It was then that I was called in. Universally suspected, universally shunned, Mrs. Carey lived a wretched life. The little boys had begun to call out after her in the street. She would have left the house but for Leonard, who believed in her, and to whom she was passionately devoted. I resided In the village, assumed the guise of an intending purchaser of real estate, and in that capacity I visited the Carey farm, to talk over the price. Mrs. Carey was willing to sell, after the trouble had been cleared up. She । struck me as a sensible woman, and I had my doubts as to her culpability. The farmer's boots had been thrown away in the attic, with the rest of his clothing. I found an opportunity, by going to the house when Mrs. Carey was away, to look at them. It did occur to me that there might be some snake venom in them, but I assured myself that tiffs was not the case. Be sides, as most people know, snake ven om acts as a toxic agent only when in troduced through an abrasion. Swal lowed, it is harmless. And it seemed Improbable in the extreme that, even If there were poison in the boots, there would have been an abrasion on the foot of each of the two men ex actly where the poison would be free to enter. And, again, rattlesnakes, for all their reputation, only inflict a maxi mum of discomfort, not death. 1 think the number of cases of fatal rattle snake poisoning is less than a dozen. It would have been impossible for the men to have died in so short a time. Quite by accident, however, I learned that a circus had passed through the village six months before. Among its attractions had been a Hin du snake charmer, who had amused and astonished the people until the circus passed, to be soon forgotten. I learned that Mrs. Carey had attended the circus with Leonard, and had been seen to speak to the,man. This looked bad. After all, If it was snake poison, Mrs. Carey was the only person with a motive to kill. I withdrew my favorable opinion. I watched her more narrowly. I had actually Invested S2OO in an option on the property. This gave me plenty of opportunity to visit there. I was at the farm one afternoon when Leonard came out of the house; and I saw the woman’s face blanch. “Leonard!” she gasped. “Your fa ther’s boots!” I looked and saw that the boy was wearing the identical boots which the two men had worn before their death. They were much too large for him, but they came up toward the knee, and were very serviceable for harvest work. “Why, that’s all right, mom,” he an swered. "They’ll come in handy out in the field. Why, mom, I’ve had these on for nearly two hours, and if there was poison in them I guess I'd have felt it before now.” “Take them off!” screamed Mrs. Carey. And yet, agitated though she was, there was no sound of guilty knowledge in her voice, only of fear. "I wish I’d burled the things,” she sobbed wildly. “If it hadn’t been for your father and brother having worn them, folks wouldn’t accuse me of hav ing killed them.” Leonard ran to her and put his arms about her. “Why, mom, folks are liars, that's all,” he said. He clenched his fists. “Just let me see the man who says you are a murderess!” he cried. “And, mom,” he added, “I’ll take them off right away.” He sat down in the sun and pulled off the boots. Then, carrying them in his hand, he ran in his stockinged feet back Into the house. I saw the tension on Mrs. Carey’s face. Presently Leonard came back, wearing a pair of ordinary boots. He looked very sober and paler than be fore. He came rather unsteadily up to his mother. “I don't feel w'ell, mom,” he gasped, and fell at her feet. Mrs. Carey screamed wildly, and I carried the boy into the house and called the doctor. The doctor arrived in half an hour and diagnosed the case as hopeless. By that time Leonard’s legs were swollen to three times their size, and he was black below the waist. But I refused to accept the verdict. Mrs. Carey and I worked over him all that day. It was a desperate effort to keep him awake, and we could not walk him on his swollen feet But we punched and struck him, and pulled up his drooping eyelids. We struck him and pushed him from side to side, trundling him about the room. Some how we managed to prevent the coma of death from developing that night, and by morning the boy was better. The doctor, who called expecting him to be dead, was amazed. The next day was a critical one, but by nightfall Leonard was able to go to sleep, and by the next morning the swelling had gone down a little and he was on the way to recovery. Then, only, did I think of the boots. The story had spread through the village, and warrant for Mrs. Carey’s arrest had already been issued. It was I who confronted the constable at the door with my evidence. For I had slashed the boots to pieces and discov ered the mystery. In the left boot was nothing. But in the right boot, set near the ankle, was a tiny snake fang, with a portion of the venom sack attached to it. It had been thrust out with such violence that It had penetrated the leather and carried this minute portion of the poi son sack with it. It was set downward at such an angle that It would not abrade the skin when the boot was put on, but must inevitably do so when it was pulled off. The explanation was an obvious one, and it cleared Mrs. Carey, who now re sides, with Frank and Leonard, on the old place, esteemed by everyone. The deadly poison was identified with that of the Indian hooded cobra. The snake had escaped from the charmer and had struck at the farmer’s leg, with out his knowledge. The fang, remain ing in the tough leather, had done no Injury until John Carey pulled off his boots. Then It had killed him. Duchesse d’Uzes Leads in Aristocratic Chase The Duchesse d'Uzes is one of the most characteristic and picturesque figures in that French aristocracy which pays more attention to its coun try estate than to Paris and the re publican government. The duchesse opened the season with her pack of staghounds on St. Hubert’s day. In pink riding habit and with the three cornered and braided hat which re called the Eighteenth century, she led her huntsmen, the large brass hunt ing horns encircling their bodies, and her guests to the pursuit of the quarry. But, first of all, a mass of St. Hubert was celebrated in the vil lage church, hunting horns being in cluded in the musical part of the service. After the mass the cure, accompanied by the choir and the “sulsse,” came outside and In the tra ditional manner solemnly blessed the pack of hounds, who then, duly edified no doubt, proceeded in a Christian spirit to the performance of their task. —Pierre Van Paassen, in Atlanta Con stitution.

THE WORLD’S GREAT EVENTS | I ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE | n * a uy Dudd, Mead & Company.) Henry of Navarre A COUNTRY boy—long rather than tall, high of forehead, with a great hooked beak of a nose, a tanned face and wiry frame—came up to Paris, against his mother’s will, one day in the latter part of the Sixteenth century. He was the penniless Prince Henry of Bearn, son of stupid old Antony of Bourbon, king of Navarre, in coming to Paris lie was walking Into the very jaws of death. Catherine de Medici, widow of Henry 11, was practically ruler of France in spite of the fact that her weak son, Charles IX sat on the throne. She had four sons. They were all childless. Should they chance to die without direct heirs, the royal line of Valois would end, and the crown must pass, by succession, to their cousin, the king of Navarre. Catherine was an ardent Catholic, as were her sons and her adherents. Na varre, a little subsidiary province near the Spanish frontier of France, was the center of the Huguenot (Protes tant) movement. The rulers of Na varre were the chiefs of the Hugue nots. Hence, if the king of Navarre should inherit the throne, France would probably become a Huguenot country. So Catherine cast uneasy eyes towards the little kingdom and began to plot measures for averting such a possibility. Jeanne d’Albret, wife of Antony de Bourbon and mother of young Henry of Navarre, was also doing some plot ting, but along wholly different lines. She was one of the noblest, best wom en in history. Her husband had been a weak, dissipated, thick-headed fel low, and all her hopes were centered in her boy. She accordingly had Henry brought up as a rigid Protes tant, sought to turn his mind to high thoughts, to honor and personal recti tude, urged him to outdoor life and exposure to toughen and strengthen him, and confided his military train ing to the famous Admiral Coligny. In the midst of this course of train ing Jeanne was horrified to receive a request from Catherine that Henry vis it the gay court at Paris. She well knew that such an invitation amounted to a royal command, and that it could not with impunity be disobeyed. Yet she foresaw the terrible influences a wom an like Catherine could exert on her pleasure-loving son. Henry, delight ed to be free from such close discipline, hurried to Paris and plunged at once into the dissolute gayety of the court. Jeanne In vain tried to retain her influence over him by writing him long letters full of advice and of news of bis old home. Catherine dreaded the effect of these letters, so she sent Jeanne a pair of poisoned gloves. Jeanne wore them and died. Every decent influence being thus removed, Henry wallowed deeper daily in the Infamies of Catherine’s con trivance. He was now king of Na varre, nominal head of the Huguenots, but too steeped in the pleasures of court to give much thought to his re sponsibilities. To wipe out the Hugue nots Catherine arranged the massacre of St, Bartholomew within a week after Henry’s marriage to her daugh ter Margaret. Henry, seeing his life was in danger, renounced Protestant ism and became a Catholic. Three years later he escaped from Paris, where he was treated more like a prisoner than a king, and fled to Na varre, where his Huguenot adherents were awaiting him. On the way he stopped long enough to renounce Catholicism and declare himself a faithful Huguenot. For the next few years he indulged in as gay a life as Ids impoverished little kingdom could afford. Meantime, on Charles EX’s death, his younger brother, Henry 111, had come to the throne of France. He was frivolous and weak. The Parisians worshiped the duke of Guise, who openly declared himself a claimant to the throne and who started the League, an organization semi-civil, semi-religious, made up from all classes and devoted to the Guise fam > lly. Henry 111, to check this rising revolt, had Guise assassinated. The League in fury rose to avenge its leader’s death and drove the king out of Paris. The dispossessed monarch joined forces with Henry of Navarre , against the League, but was himself । assassinated in 1589. This left Henry of Navarre rightful king of France. Henry boldly laid siege to Paris to enforce his claims. He beat the I League’s armies at Arques in 1589 and at Ivry in 1590. Henry was tired of warfare and poverty. He wanted , to be a king, not a guerilla leader. So • he abjured Protestantism and for the second time declared himself a true Catholic. This removed the last bar , rier to his success and all France glad ly acclaimed him king. j So in 1593 he entered Paris in triumph, apparently in no way , abashed at having twice deceived his । earlier followers by such ready , changes of faith. He drove the Span ish out of France, put down the ' League, and in 1598, by the edict of Nantes, assured privilege and relig lous toleration to all Protestants. Un der him modern France had its birth He ruled wisely and for the good of ’ the people. At the height of his career. May 14. 1 1610, he was murdered by Ravalllac, a fanatic, his young son, Louis XIII, sue 1 ceeding him.
