Here Skinner, who had been listening
to our conversation. glanced quickly up
ut Wilson, and I saw some signal
flashed between the two.
"And what may your name be? Are
you a detective, too?" l asked OF Skin
ner.
"Yes," he replied, simply, II am a
detective and Skinner is my name"
"Why did you try to shoot me?"

"As much as could"
"Then you really were not treacher-

Good God. no. Who could play false

convincing tones that was satisfied.
Here Mr.. Perry broke in. "Your
name will come out resplendent, Mel
son, when the whole truth is known,
and we will take care that it be known
that you allowed yourself to be made

CHAPTER XVII.

Sonntag-or Wilson, as ought to call
him now-went first, with the lantern
jackson had used; Mr.. Perry followed;
I came next, and Skinner brought up
the rear with another lantern.
'Be careful and don't strike your
heads against the dirt above, or Eome Of
It will come down." Wilson called back
TO us. As the passage was not more
than three and half or four feet in
height, 1t was rather difficult to follow
his advice.
"Do you suppose Jackson did all this
work himself?'' I heard Mr.. Perry ask.
"Undoubtedly," Sonntag replied.
"You see, he used TO come to Nelson
willie quite frequently. For the past
six weeks he had not been seen about
here. But then that IL no sign that
he was not here. Probably during
those six weeks he was ut work. Here
we are" he said, as he crawled out into
the room.
Mr.. Perry followed quickly, and l
heard him exclaim, in tones of horror:
''What in heavens name is that?"
Wilson placed the lantern on the floor
and bent down over the PROSTATE body
of Mr.. Morley.
"Why, were there two? Is he dead,
too?" Mr.. Perry went on. This Is
terrible!-a most horrible affair! Who
can it be?"
The elder detective silently motioned
to Skinner, and together they gently
turned the body over.
The president leaned down, and then
started back. CONSERVATION, doubt,
amazement, horror. were on his face as
he glanced from one to the other of us.
"Sylvegser Morley!" he finally
easped. "Impossible!" Then he leaned
over the body again. ut looks very
much like him, very much like him."
he whispered. glancing down at Will
son, who gravely nodded his head.
'What? You mean it is Morley-this
body Morley's? Great God in Heaven!"
We stood silently around the body for
some time, none of us willing to utter
O word. But the realization of what
the fathers death, and in such a yio-
lent way, would mean to Florence had
been growing stronger and stronger in
my mind. and finally broke down un-
der It, covered my face with my hands
and groaned aloud.
Soon felt touch on my arm. Glanc-
ing up, l saw Mr.. Perry standing be-
side me.
"It IL q most terrible affair, Nelson;
but never mind, my boy" he said. soft
ly, in an attempt at comfort. His next
words told me, however, that he did
not know the real cause for my grief.
81 know how you must feel to have n
horrible event like this happen on your
place. But you are cleared, at any rate.

She united with the church al
twelve years of age. She was an
earnest christian, and no trivial ex.
cuse was sufficient to keep hel
from her place in church and Sab

good reason for it. In her home
she was o devoted wife and moth

as such. AS neighbor and friend
she was dearly loved. She leaves
behind, her devoted husband and
eight children. On the other
shore to greet her were her par

three brothers, the last of whom
to pass over was Rev. Isaac Ed
wards, who while preaching June
3rd, 1898, was stricken with heart
disease and died In few mo-

died the week before Mrs. Davis
took sick. In speaking of these
deaths the day before she was
