Fanny Revere was the first to utter dis
NAL cry OF terror, when she peered into the
deSolate chamber. But her cry was not so
piercing as the shrek of hopeless terror
which broke from another female threat, as
a woman rushed past her. and fell on her
knees beside human body, lying dead,
with pallid face upturned, upon that stable
foor.
Ii was the body Of William Dobson, the
burglar, on which his wife ''poor Char
lotte, 7 fell fainting.
The man lay at full length '.jimmy"
IN his hand, with which he had probably.
been working, when struck by an 'invisi-
bic power" Close by his heart, as il it had
crushed him down, lay the iron-oound Golfer
now empty, which had once contained
the treasure he sought.
When the inquest was held, no verdict
was given but Death by visitation of
God" Charlotte Dobson, assisted by
Susie Macy, buried her husbands remains,
and then went back TO England, keeping,
as she supposed, his felonious secret.
But Saul Macy obtained from the coroner
an old letter, nearly illegible, which had been
taken from the burglars pocket, and that
letter furnished the last link necessary to
complete their chain of wonders.
1t was the letter of . Uncle Brawley's
grand-daddy," the treacherous servant who
had robbed his master in America, while
Sir William Howe was N possession OF
New York. The letter, when deciphered,
was found to read as follows
"Walter Bolton, my master, left me In
charge of his family jewels and heap of
sovereigns, and 1 was to follow HIM to
Boston, where he had gone 10 be an officer
in Washington's army. But the devil
tempted me to make off with the gold,
and hid the iron-box IN our old stable
wall, to come back after it, But, the old
boys luck followed. L fell in with loose
iades, and they robbed me Of my
gold, and then / got service with

my legs off, and I'm now an ould vagabond

I'd be rich enough to buy and sell Stepney

The Secret Of Life and Death'' was all
disclosed at last.
A Secret of Life and Death,''
indeed. A tsSeeret of Life'' to Saul Macy,
and to his kinswoman Mrs. Revere; and to
their children-happy in welded life.

inheritor of 'sUnele Brawley's Legacy"
Saul Macy's "Inyisible Power that
