Ono day he persuaded his step
mother to go, too. I happened (o
be near the little dock as they canto
in, and saw him take her p. nitty little
hand in his to hand her ashore. As
ho did it she gave a little cry. And
he said;
‘'What is. the matter, tnum.i a?”
as gently.as a mother could speak k o
her bahv..
“I think a wasp must have stung
mo on the hand,”, she said,. -looking
at her palm.
'•Yes,” he. said, “here goes
one.”
Ho struck in the air with his hand
kerchief, and expressed himself in
murderous lerms about all wasps,
and took his oars and put them hi
(he boathouse and followed his step
mother up the' path. She walked
on looking at her palm, and now
and then shaking her hand us if to
cool it; out a wasp’s sting is always
painful, and 1 only called to the
youngest boy to tell him to tell his
mother to put ammonia ou it.

rence llapgood made nothing by his
step-mother’s death; but as ho was
thoro to euro for the jittlo boys, the
trustees left them all in the old
house. And a year went by with
out any ovent, when ono night my
bell rang violently* and answering

it with his foot.
Tiio remains of iho .i.tisect were

of a venomous kind. A verdict was
given accordingly'. {
The great 4qJtor J have spoken of
declared that iherb must havo been

Mrs Uapgood and her hoy that ren

and stiitj; -
“Oome, lad; next we know you’ll

and caught him by the hukIo. Thori
he was bitten.
It was the old story, the old ver
dict. Another grave was dug, and
James lived alone with step brother;
and a yeui went by, and two, and
still another, and I began to say to
myself; “What a fool 1 was for
thinking in a vaguesort of way that
Lawreuue had something to Mo with
the three deaths at llapgood house,”
when one night 1 walking near it

me. I cleared the fonca at one jump

at.his finger.
“Something bit mo,” ho said, in
his plaintive voice; “I shall dio like

But I picked him up in my arms
uml ran with him to my shop, which,
as you 8oo is near by.
There was a wound almost on the
nail of the little finger of that little
hand, and a Tvd line was travelling
down the finger.
iI consulted with no one. I put
the child tinder Lho influence of
chloroform, and. I amputated the
liny finger.

Lawrence was at the door, with his
Iiypocntical emilt*.
“i'tn looking for poor little James,

about him. Such a fatality attends

“1 left him reading at tiro window

“I’m sorry to say he’s boon bitteu by

“You do,” I answered.' “Take

. “Well,” he siiid, sljr-ugging his
shoulders, “if one bus to deal with a
inilniac, ono must sit bin jt to absurdi

He drew off the ring, tossed it us
far as lie could, and 1, still with my
revolver pointed toward him
picked it Tip with my handker
chief.
I took care not to touch it, and
had it in my shop before many min
utes. It was the sort of ring that,
in the sixteenth century, was called
a.“ilealh ring.” A horriblo poison
is bidden in tlioso claws. When
persotis at the court of Italy grow
troublesome, tnose who wore the
ring shook hands with them pressed
the ling into their palm. The pois

they were dead.
