CHAPTER XVI.
Nj. sister confssaor.

The death Of McNlsh was instan-
taneous Soy, with bullet In his abb
domen, fingered for three days. Dur
ing that time Miss Clement became
his sister confessor, and so there
drlfted into ouf possession a host OF
facts which otherwise We might never
have learned. Strange, uncanny crea-
ture that he was, he seemed to re-
pose the utmost confidence In the
gray, sweet.Raced missionary, and fair
ly unburdeneG his sln-charged soul to
her. Those Of his fellow consplrators
that she promised to protect, she pro-
tecfed. Th0se that he believed to
have played him false, she protected
likewise. Her religion was one In
which personal justice has no dwell

pay" her Lord had admonished, and
to him she was content to resign the

Had been more familiar with the
Cameron town house and the town
habits OF Its master, justice probably
would not have been tricked out OF
having her way with two as lawless
wretches as ever infested commu'

one Of the drawers OF that quaint old
rosewood secretary was the hiding
place Of a SS-ealiber Colt, and In all
likelihood have had 1t removed before
McNish was capable Of searching Cor

lie blame upon himself for not hay
ing been the first to discover IT.,
though to my mind ne could hardly
be regarded az recreant In failing to
investigate a piece Of furniture Of so
intimate a character.
The notoriety consequent upon the
murder and suicide was hideously In
ordinate. Inspired and stimulated by
the sensational press, which did not
hesitate to imply what It dared not
state openly, the currency Of false
hood and mlsconceptlon at one period
came close to being disastrous. As
had f0reseen, the resemblance OF Me-
Nish to Cameron, coupled with the
seemingly convincing fact that the
tragedy had occurred IN the Cameron
town house. where the millionaire
was supposed to be convalescent,
gave excuse for persistent iteration
of a rumor that, In order to preserve
the fame OF a man regarded as above
reproach and at the same time to pro-
teet the lire OF securities In which he
had been interested, the story OF
confusing likeness had been invented
No paper In the land would have
had the temerlty to print this as a fact,
but again and again-silly and impos.
sible as 1t must have appeared to all
thinking perSons-it was promulgated
by innuendo and embodied in more or
less weakly.worded denials.
As a result Crystal Consolidated suf'

traction after fraction and point after

sarily closed upon the truth, since
that, II possible, would have been even
more damaging; for while we d. still
hoped, We could give no positive as
surance that Cameron was yet alive.
