Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - November 29, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba The s coxes is Ost. By . Concluded. In. I had sent the housekeeper out of my study. I was alone with the portrait of the frenchwoman on my desk. There could surely be Little doubt about the discovery that had burst upon me. The Man who had stolen his Way into my House driven by the terror of a temptation that he dare not reveal and the Man who had been my unknown rival in the bygone time wer one and the same. Recovering self Possession enough to real ize this Plain truth the inferences that Ibl Lowed forced Way into my mind As a matter of course. The unnamed person who was the obstacle to my Pupil s prospects ii life the unknown person in whose company he was assailed with temptations which made him tremble for himself stood revealed to me now As being in All human probability. No other Jor motto. Had she bound him in the Fetters of the marriage which he had himself proposed had she discovered his place of Refuge in my House and was the letter that had been delivered to him of her writing assuming those que s tons to be answered in the in that Case was his business in London i remember what to said to me about his temptations i recalled the expression that had Cross Oil his face when he recognised the handwriting on the Tho conclusion that followed literally Shook me to the soul. Ordering my horse to be saddled i Rode instantly to the railway station. The train by which he had travelled to London had reached the terminus nearly an hour since. The one useful course that i could take by Way of quieting the dreadful Mishiy Ives crowding one after another on my mind was to Telegraph to Jerome to at the address at which i had last seen Ner. 1 sent the subjoined the _ if in trouble Telegraph to me. I will be with you by the first train. Answer in any Case there was nothing in the Way of the immediate dispatch ol1 my message. And yet the hours passed and no answer was received. By the advice of the clerk 1 sent a second Telegram to Tho London of Lico re questing an explanation. The reply came Back in these terms improvements in streets. Houses pulled Down. No Trace of person named in Tele Gram i mounted my horse and Rode Back slowly to Tho rectory. The Day of his return to me will Brin with it the darkest hour of my life i shall die Young and die miserably. Have you interest enough still left in me to wish to. Hear of you shall hear of it these words Wero in my memory while i Rode Home in the cloudless Moonlight night. They were so vividly present to me that i could hear again her pretty foreign accent her quiet Clear tones As she spoke Thorn. For the emotions of that memorable Day had worn me out. The answer from the Telegraph office had struck me with Ashraive and Stony despair. My mind was a Blank. I had no thoughts. I had no tears. I was about half Way on my Road Homo and i had just heard the clock of a Village strike ten when 1 became conscious Little by Hittle of a Chilly sensation slowly creep ing through and through me to Tho Bones. The warm Balmy air of a summer night was abroad. In the month of july was it pos sible that any living creature in Ood health could feel cold it was not possible yet the Chilly sensation still crept through me to the Bones. I looked up 1 looked All around me. My horse was walking along an open Road. Neither Trees nor water were near to on either Side the Flat Fields stretched away Bright in the Moonlight. 1 stopped my horse and looked around inc again. Yes i saw it. With my own eyes i saw it. A pillar of White five and six Leet High As Well As i could moving before me at Tho Edge of the Road on my left hand when 1 stopped the White Mist stopped. When 1 went on the Mist went on. I pushed my horse to a pillar of Mist was with me. I urged him to a pillar of Mist was with me. I stopped him pillar of Mist stood still. The White color of it was the White color of the Mist which i had seen Over the River the might when i had gone to bid her furore 1. And the chill that had then crept through me to the Bones was the chill that was creeping through me now. The White Mist Down appearance took the outline of a human form. Soft Brown eyes tender arid melancholy looked at me through Tho unearthly Litcht in the Mist. The head and the face broke next slowly on my View. Then the figure gradually revealed itself moment by moment downward and Down Ward to. The. She stood before me As i had last seen her in her purple Merino dross with the Black silk apron with the White handkerchief tied loosely around her neck. She stood before me in the gentle Beauty that i remembered so Well and looked at me As she had looked when she gave me her last her tears had dropped on my Cheek. I fell on my Knees at the table. Stretched out my hands to her imploringly. I said speak to once again sea k to me her eyes rested on me with a divine compassion in them. She lifted her hand and pointed to the photograph on my desk with a gesture that made to turn the card i turned it. of who had left my House that morning was inscribed on it in her own handwriting. I looked at her again when i read it. She lifted her hand once More and pointed to the handkerchief round her neck. As i looked at it Tho silk changed horribly in fair White silk became darkened and drenched in blood. A moment the vision of her began to grow dim. By slow degrees Tho figure then the face faded Back into the shadowy appearance that i had at first seen. Die Luminous inner Light died out in the White Mist. The Mist itself dropped slowly a moment in airy circles on the nothing was before 110 but the familiar Wall of Tho room and the photograph lying face downward 011 my desk. The next Day the newspapers reported he discovery of a murder in London. A woman was the victim. She had eco killed by a wound in the Throat. Thou inc had been discovered Between 10 and 1 o clock on the previous Naglit. I leave you to draw your conclusions from that i have related. My own Faith in the reality of the apparition is immovable. I a and believe that Jerome to kept her word with me. She died Young and died miserably. And i heard of it from herself. Take up Tho trial again and look at the. Circumstances that Wero revealed during the investigation in court. His motive for murdering her is Here. You will see that she did marry him privately that they lived together contentedly until the fatal Day when she discovered that his fancy had been caught by another woman that violent quarrels took place Between them from that time to the time when my Sermon showed him his deadly hatred toward her reflected in Tho Case of another Man that she discovered his place of Retreat in my House and threatened him by letter with Tho Public assertion of her conjugal rights lastly that a Man variously described by various witnesses was seen leaving the door of her lodgings on the night of the murder. The no further than have discovered circumstances of suspicion but not certainty. The Law in default of direct Evi Dence to convict the prisoner May have rightly decided in letting him go free. But i persist in believing that Tho Man was guilty. I declare that he and to alone was Tho murderer of Jeromette. And now you know Why. A of car.
