"I will know the worst" said Mar

II was so singular. but no one had
thought to look within the graveyard
enclosure; perhaps if they had thought
Of II. they judged it impossible that a
murderer should select such a locality
Tor the commission of his crime.
Mr.. Darby opened the gate. entered
the yard, and stopped. So did the
others. All saw at once that the
search was ended. Across the path
leading to the graves OF Mr.. and Mrs.

rigid examination of every person who
could by any possibility be imagined
capable Of throwing any light on the
murder, and after all was over, the

Nothing was found TO furnish the

three days lying in state at Harrison
Park, the body of Mr.. Linmere was
taken TO Albany, where his relatives

sleep.
Mr. Trevlyn offered large reward for
the apprehension OF the murderer, or

case, and there IL rested.
Margle uttered no WOlu IN the mat
