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 a half or four feet in
height, it was rather difficult to follow
his advice.
"Do you suppose Jackson did all this
work himself?'' 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
| 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.
Tho 7,roc;1ort 1oo down or1 than
started back CONSERVATION, doubt,
amazement, horror, were on his face as
he glanced from one to the other of u.s..
"Sylvester Morley!" he finally
gasped. "Impossible!" Then he leaned
over the body again. 1T 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
a word. But the realization of what

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. j.
Soon felt a touch on my arm. Glanc
ing up, I saw Mr.. Perry standing be
side me.
''It is a most terrible affair, Nelson
but never mind, my boy" he said, soft
ly, in an attempt at comfort. His mex
words told me, however, that he dit

Did the detectives know of Mr.. Nor

not, I could easily keep secret what

| "And you think Jackson was alone
in the AFFAIR."" I asked, with a view to
ascertaining how much Sonntag, or
Wilson, knew.
He cast upon me one of his whimsical
looks, and after a pause replied: "At
first it seemed quite certain there was

A year has passed since Mr.. Morley's
death; six months after that tragic
event Florence became my wife.
The first evening of our arrival at
Sunset hill was sitting on the porch,
watching the violet tints down in the
valley. My wife was slowly pacing up
and down the walk.
She had been very quiet and sober all
that day, and attributed her mood to
the sorrowful recollections which the
place would naturally call up.
Presently she came and knelt down
beside me. Resting her head on my
shoulder, she spoke.
II have something to tell you, my
misunderstanding which I have
kept hidden from you. But have been
punished sufficiently; for there has not
been that absolute trust and confidence
between us that wished. 1t is all my
fault. Promise to forgive me, and l
will tell you my secret
I laughed at her, and placed my arm
around her. 1T must be something
terrible indeed" I exclaimed, in pre-
tended alarm. But as you are my wife,
of course there is no other way but to
forgive the wrong"

Simple and pretty summer dresses

with yoke and sleeves either of silk or
of the yelling, crossed with narrow
velvet ribbon in lattice designs. The
skirts are trimmed with three
flounces of the yelling bordered with
rows of velvet ribbon, the top fiounce
headed with band of beading thread
ed with the ribbon. This beading is

also the belt and the band which cov-

JUST TOO LATE,

When Joe Tarbox left the mate and
his companion and started on his way
to Dyea the latter watched him until
he disappeared behind the first hill.
Then he turned to Rider and rubbed his
hands together gleefully.
'You done that fine!" he exclaimed.
"We are all right now! Let's make
tracks. Fm itchin' ter git my hands on
some of the yaller boys. Did yer notice
how that feller choked himself off when
he started ter say somethin' bout a
nugget? 1 wouldn't give cent for his
chances of seein' 'em agin."
Their horses were soon ready, and
once more the two adventurers took up
their route. Several times they missed
the trail, but after four days travel
they came to the white cliff mentioned
in the letter.
"Make sure what it says" said the
miner, and Rider produced the precious
document at once.
