His eyes were lifted rigidly to some
thing behind me. Turning, saw only
the poised facon wrought in stone above
the mantelpiece.
Morse, having leaned over him, drew
back step, and, gazing at the pale,
calm face expressed, believe, what still
echoed in the mind of us all, but with
a deeper significance.
There he is, Carl Ballion!"
Years afterward, in Ravenna, Eleanor
and I came upon tomb where, in
one of Cesare Borgia's captains, serene
and at peace. But, in spite Of its
strange beauty, We both of us drew
back in dread, and were haunted that
day by the memory OF another face 1t
too closely resembled.
For, shocking as it may be to moral
preconceptions, not only the saints are
gracious in death. Nay, I wonder at
times what relation spirit and body
have, or. indeed, whether an ardent
flame. whatever its function, is not
beautiful.
Don't count me absurd" said Morse
an hour later, IF I have the narrow
door opened at his burial, and then
closed henceforth, I hope always. Super

us to heed"
Several months interviewed before an
occasion arose where had leisure to
discuss at length with Morse the events
here recorded. During that period
Eleanor'S condition, at first critical, had
begun to mend. and at last, thanks to
a naturally strong constitution, had en-

Her recovery, however, and our SUBJ
sequent marriage for all their impor-

part of the history We have been con-
sidering. To return to the matter at
issue, some two months after Carl Bal

which requires an apology. I suppose
you have often wondered why until the
very last I gave no hint of suspecting
Carl Ballion. The reasons for this were
twofold. In the first place, as remem-
Der telling you once, had no proof, and
therefore no right to cast shadow on
him at critical point in his career.
But, above all, realized that, If he

down such man depended on making
him believe me stupid and incompetent.
This was so essential that not only
confided in no one, but let you take your
chances at Greyhouse, and even pre-
vailed on the commissioner to make
pretense of dismissing me-"
As listened to Morse, had guilty

often, during the past weeks, I had
thought his methods lax. particularly

when he had refused to believe Francis

when Morse had shown him the strang-

even in the midst of that appalling
