CHAPTER XIII.


The Mortified manner Of the cracks
man was now fully explained.
In his present condition, when his
nerves were cut OF shape, it had given
him terrible shock to suddenly set eyes
upon the face Of the dead doctor.
Why?
Either because his hand was red with
his blco1, or else some terrible picture
was called up in his mind by the spec
tacle now before his vision.
That was what | was present for
what had stuck to him like leech Tor,
passing through various dangers-to
learn the truth.
Now was my time.
! would never know better.
He had become terribly demoralizcd
bv the unexpected appearance OF DR..
Seabury's body on the scene, and Was IN
a condition when his mind could be moss
readily reached by threat.
One of my plans had failed-l had been
unable to tempt him into conlidng the
truth to me.
The other must be tried, and this was
the time for it.
"Bless my soul, If it isn't the Doctor.
| exclaimed, as though astounded.
He shook his head in feeble assent,
having seated himself upon q b'&.
"Tbis is one of the most singular
things l ever heard Of. In fact it looks
suspicious. Why should the body OF Dr.
Seabury haunt us? What had we to 90
with his death?"
Colonial Gain Oroanpd
His face was white as chalk, and his
knees seemed to knock together, showing
greater evidence of fright than l had
ever thought him capable OF.
ats me he's after, Joslyn," he mutVer-
cd
"The deuce you say. Why should he be
after you, man alive?"
"You forget, man, 1 was in his house
the night he died"
His ewes seemed burning in their SOCK
ets. and his breath came thick and hot.
Was this a tacit admission to the enect
that he had been concerned in the death
of the old physician?
could hardly take it as such, and yel
there was undoubtedly bearing thal
way. The alarm of the burglar at sight
of the dead man, his fear Of the police
and the presence of creese In his room
and now on his person as an evidence nc
wished to h!de-ail these things served
to make hope spring up in my sou
again.
What If he should confess the truth
that he was guilty of the crime?
| would have to take him into Gus
tody and turn him over to the proper Of
ficials.
Then I could seek Mr.. Ketcham anC
lot him know that the drama had beer
ended virtually without his assistance.
In imagination I pictured myself a
quietly telling him that / had run tn
murderer down, got him to confess th'
whole truth. and that he was now safel.
Gagged in the Tombs.
The very thought was exhilarating.

NV senses. AS yet was a long way from
reaching that point. Some delicate worl

One thing was in my favor.
Colonel Cain was in splendid condition
to be brought to terms.
His recent experience with that drca
agent of deatll-suffocation-and tn
shock received from setting eyes on tn
dead doctor. had unnerved him far NOR
than anv threat of personal yiolenc
| could do.

couId move the lid a little, / came to a
knowledge of the fact that you were

"This hurried me up somewhat, and l
made grand effort that resulted in the
liberation of BOTH"
He had about recovered himself now,
and vet there was trembling about his
knees as he arose, by which realized
what shock his nerves had sustained.
Perhaps this would be good time to
open my line OF attack.
The thought came to me with an alb
ruptness that was rather paralyzing, and
vet | could readily comprehend that 1t
meant more than appeared on the sur
face.
While the idea was yet floating before

I saw nv companion bend over the head
of the coffin that had just been

At the head was sheet OF thick plate
glass, showing the face OF the deceased
This glass was about foot square,
and fitted into the lid so that 1t was pos
itively air-tight.
When l saw tho Colonel bend over,
holding the piece OF candle in his hand,
! did not think it was the hand OF late
that beckoned him on, but an idle curl
osity who among the city's old lnhaD'
itants had expressed desire to be
buried in the walled-in cemetery.
| supposed the dead person belonged
to some old family like the Astors OF
Bleeckers, and that it was desired to lay
the body beside those who had been dear
in life.
Hence, although my eyes followed
Colonel Cain, it was with the same ldlC
curiosity that believed him guilty OF;
Had a shock Of electricity been hurled
upon us we could not have sprung into
more active life.

action of the Colonel.
He uttered sharp cry, and saw
look of intense surprise and horror leaL

upon the object in the coffin.

action, for he seemed to be waving OF
some spirit hand that was trying to grasl

"Great powers! 1t is he"
As sudden thought flashed into my
brain, 1 sprang forward and took th(
burning candle from his unreSlstlne

Fo1nd an HcireSS.

C. E. Crafts, the well.know Chicago
attorney, has been at work in the west
ern part of Maryland, along the line OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, look
ing for the heirs of John McCafIery,
who recently died in Chicago leaving
an estate of half million. He has
thus far gathered up all but two, his
latest find being Miss Mary McCafiery.
who now lives in Baltimore. He has
at the same time developed an unique
romance.
John McCaflery was native OF Ire
land. For some years, until early in
the fifties, he operated several grain
boats on the Chesapeake and Ohio ca
nal, between Cumberland aDd George
town. In the early days of the canal ,
at Alexandria, he married a widow,
Mrs. Graham, who had two children
by her first husband. This union was
the second for McCaflely, for he had
two children by previous wife whom
he placed in charge Of woman on one
of his boats. The second union result
ed in five children, and while they
were yet small, the mother was burned
to death by an explosion of coal oil, /,
caused by lighted match being thrown
into a can.
Captain McCafery placed the moth
erless children at the Creighton
Home. In his trips up and down
the canal the father frequent
ly stopped at Hancock, Maryland,
and made the acquaintance of Nancy
Canoe an elderly maiden lady, reputed
to be wealthy and still remembered in
that town. They were married late in
1851. In the spring of 1852, at the time
of the great freshet, McCaflery went
down the canal with a load of grain,
and was never again heard of until the
search began for his heirs. The belief
became general that he had been lost
in the flood. and his memory soon died
away. Not long after the children he
left at Alexandria were brought to Han
cock, as we'll as can be remembered, by
his brother, to the home of his wife,
Nancy Canoe. She was unable to sup
port them, and found it was necessary
to find homes for them in various fami-
lies in the community.
McCatlery, it now appears, married
twice in Chicago, the last wife, who is
No. 5, surviving him. On an 11-year-
old son he settled $40, 900 and an annui-
ty of s., 900. He seemed to think that the
bulk OF his estate should go to his first
children, only few of the names OF
whom he remembered, and provided in
his will that no money should be paid
for five years in order that they might
be looked up.
Attorney Crafts states that McCafiery
visited Hancock four or five years ago
with a man named Kelly, but departed
without divulging his identity. He
died at the age of 81 years.

AssAssINATED IN HIS BED.-A dis.
patch from Frankfort, Del, to the Phil
adelphia Record gives the following ac-
count of the assassination at Chinco-
league, on Saturday night, mention OF
which was made in yesterdays GA
ZETTE:
The "Church of SanctiGcation" at
Chincoteague Island, Va, was burned
down Saturday by firebugs for the Sec
ond time this year, and Thomas Bow
den, and influential member, was as
sassinated.
1t is the custom OF this church
to have certain member act
as dreamer for them and to direct them
who to preach "sanctification" with,
and after receiving his direction the
male member proceeds to the house of
sister in religion and retires to room
separated from the rest of the family,
and proceeds to pray during most of
the night.
The assassin is unknown, but it is be-
lieved the deed was committed by one
vi tLO uiSSutiouCQ lnCLuuClo vi buc
church, as Bowden and his wife (who
is Very pretty woman, despite the
fact that she has six children), have iu-
Cured the enmity of the other men,
bers by refusing to preach sanctifcation
with any other man Or woman belong
ing to the little band.
Bowden had just retired to bed with
his wife for the night when he was shot,
the bali coming through rear window
of the bed room and entering his head,
causing instant death.
The founder of this peculiar sect is
one Joseph 8. Lynch, an ignorant man,
who claims to have been directed in q
dream to draw up and found this "re-
ligion." The citizens of Chincoteague
Island made fruitless search for Lynch
last Saturday night with guns and
bloodhounds.
There are about 200 of these there
aud about 100 near Lynch's place
The burning of the church is believed
to have been caused by some of the dis,
gusted islanders.
