Hampshire farm.
Jim was always steady" for the country

For his heart-he loved 1t, and he knew
each rock and hill;
When the pine trees murmured, all his be-
ing seemed to thrill.
Bill was never happy on the farm; he
fretted long,
Never cared to listen to the wind or hear
the song
That the birds were singing; he grew bitter
with the strife,
Praying to be taken from the quiet. hum
Hated country living. with it's salt fish,
beans and pork,
Packed his little bundle. started boldly for
New York.
BIN was smart, and prospered in the city's
crazy race,
Up the heights he clambered at a most
surprising pace;
Name and fame and money sought him
out with eager feet,
But they took a mortgage on contentment
pure and sweet.
Back to old New Hampshire-to his boy
hoods home once more
Bill went on a visit just to look the old
place Ger.
Solitude seemed frightful, for the pines
were singing loud,
Shadows on the hilltop seemed to him just
like a stroud.
"Jim," he said, "old fellow" as he turned
away his face,
Don't see how you live in such a God
forsaken placer
Jim went to the city. just TO visit Brother
Bill;
City sights and doings gave his honest
heart chill.
Saw the power and the splendor, and the
heart1ess race for fame,
Saw the weak ones bravely fighting pov-
erty and shame;
Saw where crime was lurking at the
church's very door,
Saw where sneering gamblers stole the
honest toilers store.

passed DER his face,
Don't see how you live in such a God
forsaken place!"

CHAPTER XVII.

Sonntag-or Wilson, as ought to call
him MOVEMENT 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 some 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, it 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
vile quite frequently. For the past
six weeks he had not been seen about
here. But then that is no sign that
he was not here. Probably during
those six weeks he was at work. Here
we are" he said, as he crawled out into
the room.
Mr.. Perry followed quickly, and 1
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.
Sylvester Morley!" he finally
gasped. Impossible" Then he leaned
over the body again. ct looks very
much like him, very much like him, y
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 fol
some time, none of US willing to utter
word. But the realization of what
the fathers death, and in such a vio-
lent way, would mean to Florence had
been growing stronger and stronger in
my mind, and I finally broke down un.
der it, covered my face with my hands
and groaned aloud.
Soon felt touch on my arm. Glanc
ing up, I saw Mr.. Perry standing be
side me.

| "Assuredly. Has not the result
proved that?' he replied.
''But then, who-who could have
been the other?' 1 asked, with great
fear and dread.
Wilson dropped his head and seemed
to be considering his reply.
Impossible to answer that ques-
tion," he finally said, reluctantly.
''And I don't know as there is any
cause for either you or me ever to re-
fer to that conversation. You see, a
detective feels sensitive at not being
able to discover everything concerning
On important case. And, although we
have been wonderfully successful, who
Horace Jackson's assistant or master
(for he undoubtedly had one) was, VIII
probably remain forever a mystery.
At least I shall not attempt anything
more in the case. My duty is COM
pleted."
My heart gave bound. Mr.. Morley's
connection with the robbery was not
| suspected, even by one of the most
astute detectives in America. My
promise, then, might be fulfilled, and
Florence, at least, spared the knowl-
edge that her father was great GRIM
inal.
I noticed Wilson's sharp eyes were
on my face, and I strove to cloak my
satisfaction. Then the detective held
out his hand and gave mine hearty
grip.
"The bodies had better be removed
| upstairs" Wilson then said, resuming
his matter-of-fact manner.
In due time the two bodies were ly-
ing, side by side, on the floor Of my
bedroom.
The man whose life before the world
synonym for business virtue and in
tegrity, but who was il reality the
greatest rogue imaginable-who,f from
his capacity for engineering large en-
deavors, I knew must have been the
prime factor in the robbery-lay there
beside his tool, who had become as ac-
comp1ished rogue as his master.
Hypocrisy and pretense have always
inspired the greatest repugnance in
me. But, as gazed down on the face
of him whose daughter was my prom

spot in all the blackness of his real
character, the love and affection for his
offspring, my heart was heavy with
sorrow for him.
That love, so deep, so fond, that he
gave up his life rather than yield to a
thought which might cause her unhap-
piness- such a love was atone
ment enough for the evil he had
wrought.
Mr.. Perry was standing beside me as
these thoughts flew through my mind.
