I CHAPTER XXVII. -Contihced.
' Jack Graham bad intended to defraud
tho insurance companies; but he bid not
intended to do no by the aid of murder.
There won no help for it now. Debt,
Buckley, his own idolatry of money, nrged
him to the act; but over and above all these
misersbla incentives there was another irre
sistible force pushing him toward taking
the deadly step. That force was the mad
deninx desire to get it over to free himself
fiom Ada. whose every look and word was a
galling reproach to him to breithe o her
air than that of BereBford Cirove, which
earned impregnated with his evil doing-i
in the pott, present and future to change
his name to procure entirely new associ
ations to. in fact, iiul'-aru binisetr.
"I shall be all riht whin it's over, and
nothing to remind mo of it but a check
book," Urubain muttered.
And so the all-important qu stiou h:id
boen caiefully weighed and argued from
every point, and the decision had boeu ar
rived at at last.
, Twenty-four hours only stood between
Ada and death!
The medicinal draught which bid been
administered to her on the day of the lin-ner-piirtv,
lad been uivvii to her with
double strength op m the day whon her
death bid b;un decided upon. :
Wl,eu, on the morning of tho day of
which we are now writing, the evil effects
of the second medicinal draught dis
covered themaelve. Dr. Travers, who
practiced in tho neighborhood, was in
stantly summoned lo Jieresford Grove.
, Bu'kley had inade it his busbies to bc
como acquainted with th" affair of sundry
local medical practitioner Dr. Travers
had Wen cbo eu as Adas doctor for two
reasons: firstly, because be w.h an arrant
fool; and, secondly, because ho was on the
point of paying a visit to a relative, in Ger
many. The Sects of the medicinal draughts on
Ada had pn..led poor, foolish Dr. Travels.
He hud in staken them for symptoms of a
certain serious illness, and had prescribed
accordingly.
I nrortunately ho soul to ijranain, 1
shall be on tho way to Germany before any
change can take place in Mrs. Graham's
condition. "
"If, " Jack snid, anxiously, "she is better
to-morrow morning "
"ltcpeut my proscription, and keep hor
quiet, ' was the doctors reply.
"There will be no occasiou for a medical
man, thenV"
i "None, whatever." -;
"Hut if slio is won
L "Bend for a doctor at once."
1 Jack pretended to wipe a tear from his
eye, as ho hud frequently done at his
insurance office that morning, and then
asked Mrs. Worthington, his housekeeper,
who was much impressed with his affection
for his wife, a question:
"Was she still asleep when jou loft her,
Mrs. Worthington?
"Yes, sir. Hho hasn't moved since sho
took tho boaf-tea, an hour a'o. "
"I won't disturb her, poor dear," Paid
Jack. "You won't mind sitting up with hor,
will you.
"Not in the least, sir," said the house
keeper, but I'm sure there's no call for it.
She'll be as iiibt as you or me in the morn
ing, if you 11 excuse me for saying so.
xou c
" liood !" said Graham again, though va
cantly. Buckley, seated opposite Jack, placed
bis glass of brandy within easy reach upon
a small circular chess table. He noticed
casually as be did this that tho top of the
table, wbicb was covered by a red cloth, was
defective - that it revolved on its leg like a
music stool.
"Now tben, it's my go at questioning,"
said Buckley, after a pmse. "Have yon
squared Mrs. Worthington. governor?"
xes; she is all nght - though t wisn to
heaven we could do it gradually. "
"No time for that," said Buckley,
"money's running low; besides, yon want
it over, don t yon? I erppoie yoa know
one thins?"
"What?"
"That everything's ready. It must be
done to-morrow night, governor, and no
humbug. If you feel funky, leave it to me,
and double my two and a half thousands."
Graham wiped bis forehead with his
handkerchief, and looked for a long time
vacantly at the defective ceaa table, lie
felt a teirible nervousness upon him, but
by a great effort controlled it; then he said,
in a whisper:
"Let us go through wi'.h it Let us fix
everything beforehand. We bavi agreed
that she is to take it when i-ho is out of
bed."
"Yes; wo hive settle 1 that"
"At what time?"
Bnckley considered a moment, then ro
plied by asking another question:
"Are vou going to dine here, governor?"
"Yes.'"

impatiently. "My wife is worse thai you

battles all science. To-morrow she may be

Tho housekeeper turned pale.
"I don't want to alarm yon, Mrs. Worth

and 1 leave her entirely in your bauds for

for tho worse let mo know at onco, and I
will fetch a doctor."
"if there is really danger," suggested the
housekeeper, "wouldn't it bo belter "
"To have a doctor at once," interrupted
iraii.ui. "No, certainly not. Tho presence
of a doctor irritates and alarms her; besides, -sho
must not be disturbed, I havo Dr.
Travers' word for it, that unless she is worse
she is to continue with tho medicine ho
has prescribed. Here! there!" ho added,
with a sickly smilo; "perhaps 1 exaggerate.
I think 1 do! I hope so. God grant sho
may bo bettor in tho morning."
Ho pressed Mrs. Worthington s hand.
"Leave mo now," ho said. "Go to hor
quietly: and, dear Mrs. Worlbingtou, trial
her as if sho worn your own daughter."
i "That 1 will, sir!"
Tho housekeeper courtesi.id as she imde
for tho door. Jack Graham, however, called
her back. Ho knew that Ada would pass
tho night quietly, therefore, no w was tho
time to prepare Mis. v ortninyton lor Bel
death, which, schema as clearly ns they
could, was hound to bo a sudden d-calb.
They could hae killed her gradually, but
not Without calling on tho aid of another
doctor; and another doctor would have
been h'ghly dangerous to them.
"Mrs, Worthington."
The housekeeper returned from tho
door.
"Did Dr. Travers say anything to you
about my dear wife's illness? ' Jack asked.
"Not a word sir. "
r "Then you are not aware that she is suf
fering, as fur as Dr. Travers can tell, from
a certain heart coiup'uiut?"
. "I was not aware of that, sir."
"I thought not," Graham returned. "I
have told you so, that you may seo how im
portant it is th it you should sit up with
her; that you-should immediately toll mo o
any chango in her; and that you should bo
prepared l'6r the worst. I havo tried to
speak tightly, Mrs. Worthington. I havo
tried to hide it from you and myself. It is
right that you, w ho aro her nurse, should
know the full extent of her danger. She
may be seized suddenly remember sud
denly, and unexpectedly; so, for heaven's
sake, be watchful. She may be seeminglv
well at the commencement of an hour and
dead before its end."
il With these awful words he dismissed the
houseneeper, who, trembling under tho
newly revealed weight of" her responsi
bility, proceeded noiselessly to Adi's bed
room. Tho poor girl slept calmly. There was a
smiie on her sweet childish face, for bright
dreams of happiness, to obtaiu w h eh, poor,
foolish child, bhe had done so much, illum
ined her sleep perhaps her last sleep.
"How he loves her!" thought the house
keeper, as she sat nerself for the night by
Ada's bedside; "and what a blow it w.ll bo
to him if the worst comes!"
. Jack Graham's word and acts havo as
. deeply impressed Mrs. WorthinKtou as thoy
have the insurance companies. Ada's death
might be sudden, but it certainly would
not be unexpected by either tho one or the
other.
Shortly after Mrs. Worthington had en
tered Ada's bedroom, Buckley made his
appearance in the dining-room, w.th a bot
tle of brandy which,. Jack had sent him
for.
"Governor," he said, in a low tone,
after he had closed the door, "you look
bad. Funking?"
"No, curse you not I," Jack answered.
taking the bottle from him and uneorking
"At -say, seven?"
"Yes."
"Then let's fix the time when she's to take
it at u quarter to nine."
"How is sbo to tike it?"
"QKa'a frinit rt f iftffr r.in't chp? rtilht!

"I go to Brinsley s," said Graham: "bat
I'm delayed on tho road. Vou go iu search
of a neighboring doctor but yon don t get
one. She is left with Mrs. Worthington,
who puts ber to bed. At ha f past eleven
Brinsley and I arrive here, and find
her "
"Dead! Pass the brandy, novernor."
Orahnm Tjassed I he brandy bottle to
Buckley, then turned up the collar of his
coat, and fell to staring at the chess-table
again.
"Do you know what you ara going to say
to this hero Briusiey, governor.' Don't
look at this blessed table; loo'c at to-morrow.
How are yon going to make h.ui fork
out the certificate? '
"I know," Jack answered. "Tho forged
note of Dr. Travers will convince him th it
s..e died of iiisoasa of the heait. He knows
uoihiug about business matteis. I nil ill tell
him that Marion is mv wife, that I am
badly iu debt, and that my only possession
h a policy on ber life for tivo hundred
pounds, which sum I shall not get unless
he, in Dr. Travtrs' abseu3e, gives me a cer
tificate of death at once. Trust me; I can
ruiiiago h in 1 ke a ch.ld. He never yet re
iused me anything."
"Bight you are. governor; hut won't he
spot that shi ain't Marion the real one
that he has physicked."
"No! Death changes faces. He'll take
tho palent ss of Ada s face to be the fore
runner of iilness and de iih, if he notices n
af all; but ho won't because all women are
alike to him. He regards the whole sex in
one heap as a scientific wonder. "
Graham rose i'roai h;s chair as he spoke.
"The programmo is tided. '" hd sa d, "and
subject to no further altc-mliou. There
that s enough- let us drop it.''
On the next morning their anticipations
were realized. Ada was b ttcr; but ue.thor
Mrs. Wor hington nor Ja;-k Graham would
allow her to leave her bo:l for anarm-chair.
'1 ho housekeeper s fear of a sudden fatal
s azure occurring to Ada was in no wise
diminished.
"I sha 1 go to the ofHce, my own," Gra
ham said, to his Wife, "and I shall return in
less than two hours. You are not well yet,
mv Marion you are, indeed, very far from
well."
"But I should be l etter if I wero np,K
she urged, "indeed I should. May I iliue
with you down stairs? I shall not exert my
self. Do say yes "
Assuring Mrs. Worthington that ho did
not know which would bo tho least hurtful
to his wife-thwariiug her w.shes, or allow
ing her to leave her room he evidently, on
that lady's suggestion, decided in favor of
tbe latter.
"If you improve, Marion, as the day pro
ceeds," said Jack, "we wili take tea togeth
er downstairs, but yon must promise not to
want to storvmore than ha'.f an hour."
Telling the housekeeper that he deeply
regretted haviugyielded to Marion's impor
tunity, ho proceedefko his iusurance office,

"What have you
it with an unsteady hand,
to report.'
"Good news!" Buckley replied. "I got it
at Camden Town; though I'd immense
trouble to hunt up my pal. for he's always
hiding. However, there's no fear of his
blowing on us even if ho know where I was,
so rest easy. To have got it at a chemist's
would have croaked us.
" What is your friend, then? Is he to be
relied on?"
"Relied on! I should think he was,"
said Buckley, leering. "As to what he does
he's up to all sorts of fakements a cross
between a gypsy and a woman doctor.
He don't think nothing of such things, and
he sold it to me us if it had bien 'bacca or
sweetstnff. But I did something else. I went
to the Jewess and got her boy" to go round
to yonr Walworth crib with a bill for boot
mending, as I made out and got the Jewess
to write, so as no one could read it."
"Good! Well?"
"The little plant took well, governor.
Tryfoil ain't been seen or heard of since
you saw him at Walworth Two to one he's
st. 11 abroad."
Buckley helped himself to sorno brandy
after this speech, while Graham stared va
cantly at tho fire.
"But that wasn't all, governor," the mm
went on: "so you s e I vo been working
hard. I called at Dr." Travers'. I said, 'if
the Doctor ain't gone to Germany yet, mas
ter'd like to see him.' "
"What was the answer?"
"He started this morning.

I propose this morning to take infidelity
and atheism out of the realm of jo ilarity
into one of tragedy, an 1 show yoq what they
propose, aud what, if th 'y are successful,
they will accomplish. There are those in all
our commnnities who would like to see tho
Christian religion overthrown, and who say
the world would be lietter without it. I want
to show you what is the end of this roail,
and wh,.t ia the terminus of this crusade,
and what this world will be when at iei -m
and infidelity have triumphs lover it, if they
can. I say, if they can. I reiterate it, if
they can.
In the first place, it will be the complete
and unutterable df gradation of womanhood.
I will prove i by tacts and arguments which
no honrst man will dispute. In a 1 com
munities and cities and states an 1 nations
where th? Christian religion has be-n domi
nant, woman's condition has been ameli
orated and improved, and she is deterred to
and honored in a thousand things;, au I every
gentleman takes off his hat tc.ore her. If
your associations have been good, you know
that the name of wife, mother, daughter,
suggest gracious surroaa lis ;s. You know
there arc no belter schco's an 1 seminaries in
Brooklyn or in anv city of this country than
the schoo's and seni n iries fo:- young ladies.
You know that while worn m may suffer in
justice in Eng'and on 1 the Cnitod i-'ta'es,
she has moro of her rights in Christendo.n
than she has anywhere elss.
Now, compare this with woman's condi
tion in lands where Christianity has made
little or no advance in Chin i, in Bari ary,
in t'orneo, in Tartary, in Etrypt. in Hmdo
stan. The Burmese sell their wives a-. d
daughters as so many sheep. The II ndoo
Irible makes it disgraceful and an outrage
for a woman to listen to music or look out of
the window in tho abf ence of her husband,
and gives as a lawful ground for divorco a
woman's beginning to eat ifore her husband
has finished his meal. What mean thes
white bundles on the poiats and rivers
China in the morning? Infanticide fol-
infanticule. Temalc children de
stroyed simply because ti-.oy are female.
W omahrtarness- d to a plow as an ox. Wo
man veiievTaud barricaded, a id in all styles
of cruel seclusion. Her birth a misfortune.
Her life a tortuTe. Her death a horror.
The missionary ofthe cross to-day iu

fully secluded ina side apartment, where thoy
may hear tho voice of the preacher- but
may not be seen. No refinement. No
erty. No hope for this life. No hope for
life to come. Rinsed nose. Cramp3d foot.
Disfigured face. Embruted soui. Now com
pare taose two conditions. Huw far toward
th s latter condition that I speak of wouid
woman go if Christian influences wero with
drawn and Christianity wore destroyed? -It
is only a question of dynamics. If an object
be lifted to a certain point and not fasten ,-d
thero, and ths lifting power bo with lrawn,
ho.v long before that object will fall down to
the point from which it started' It w.ll
fall down, and it wiil go still further than
the point from n hich it starte L Christian
ity has lifte 1 woman up from the very depths
af degradation almost to thi skies. If that
lifting power be withdrawn sha falls clear
bac's: to the depth fro.n which she was resur
rected, not going any lower be ause there is
nr lower depth." And yet, notwithstanding
'be fact that the only salvation of'woaian
from degradation and woe is tho Chr.st an
religion, and the only influence that ha; ever
lifted her in the so-inl scale is Christianity
I have read thst there are women who reject
Christianity. 1 make no remark in regard
to those persons. I make no remark in re
gard to them. In the silence of your own
soul make vour observations.
If infidelity triumph an.l Christianity be
overthrown, it mean-, the demoralization of
lociety. The one idea in the B.ble thit athe
ists and infidels most hate, is the idea of ret
ribution Take away the idea of retnbu
two and punishment from society, and it
will begin v.ry so in to disint -grate; and
take away from the minis of men the fear
of hell, and there are a great many of them
who vi ould very soon turn this world into a
hell. The ma oritv of those who are indie-
n-.nt ag inst the Bible becaus' of the idea of
punishment are m.-n whoso lives are bad or
whoso hearts are impure, and who hato the
Bible because of the idea of future; pun sh
ment for the s ine reason that criminals hate
the penitentiary. I di, I have heard this brave
talk about people fearing nothing of the
consequences of sin in the next world, and I
have made up my mind it is attnty a
coward's wbUtlin-r to keep his courage up. I
have seen men flaunt their immoralili -s in
the face of the community, and I have heard
them d fy the ;'u lgm?nt day and sco.7 at the
idea of any future consequence of their sin:
but when thev came to dla they shrieked
until you could hear them for nearly two
blocks, and in the summer night the neigh
bors got up to put the windows down becausa
thev could not endure the horro-.
1 would not want to reo a rail train with,
five hun '.red Christian people on board gj
down through a drawbridge into a watery
grave. I would not want to see five hun Irpd
htistian people go into surh disaster, but I
tell you plainly that I co lid more eas lv s e
that than I could for anv protracted t me
