BY MARLEN E. PEW CHAPTER Il | What must have been the secret Ithonghta of the Rey. Clarence Richeson last summer as he bal- anced the heart and shame of Avis Linnell, the engagement to marry Miss Edmands, the heiress, his many les, his false pretenses and below all, the scheme of murder? Hie moral fiber had been torn to shreds, The promising young clergy- man of yesterday, gifted for the noblest calling among men, had degenerated into a cunning fiend, with soft voice polluting the sacred marriage rite, his trust, and with tender hand o, ressing the woman who so madly loved him, but who would fall dead from a cowardly blow by that hand within 90 days, He was the spiritual adviser of 400 people. They sought him when iliness imperilled their lovéd ones, when babies came to bless their households, when love prompted them to join in holy wedlock and when death etalked in the fold of Immanuel Baptist ‘church He pr hed to them from the Book of |Books, He knelt before them and raised his voice to God. All this he did, with murder in his heart! | Monstrous! It js inconceivable that in the dark of night some pang of re lmorse did not gnaw at his con- lactence, or when he bade goodby to Avis, after the mock marriage, land returned to New Hampshire to cautinue his vocation. The man {who made as his life study the questions of right and wrong was himself lusting innocent blood and | rday Richeson smoked 30 cigars. “Tiate of his own making was luring him on and on. in his foolish, stupid vanity he seem iways to have felt that he was far too cleyer, too well es shed, too noble in his simulated dignity to fall victim to the justice that avenges such wrongs. The limit to whieh bis confidence in his cunning extended was shown when, after his name had been pub lished in connection with the sup- posed suicide of Avis*Linnell ne calmly, absolutely denied to Violet Edmands’ mother that he had ever had anything more than passing acquaintance with the girl. And he easily convinced Mra. Edmands, her husband and their daughter. When Avis returned to Boston in the fall, Richeson met her and dined with her nearly every week, though at this time he was almost constantly in the society of Miss Edmands and they were acknowl- edged as affiancéd. Avis, living at the Y, W. C. A. devoted herself to her musical studies. That she secretly relied upon Richeson to ultimately ac knowledge her as his wife is evi- dent. She did not appear worried and spent her sparé time making new clothes. Just a few days be- fore her death she wrote a letter to her sister, Helen, saying: “T ean hardly wait until Sunday comes to wear my new suit, and my new hat and carry my new Bible to chureh,” Her hopes and happiness wei Jainly woven into some promise that had been given by the man who then was rapidly concluding his, plan for her de- struction. Throughout the whole wretched story, Avis’ loyalty, love, human- ness and trusting innocence is plainly written, She may have de colved her parents and her friends, but it was to cover HIS faults, She may have falsified when pressed by circumstances, but it was to céver his lies. She fell into evil ways, but at the hands of a man clever enough to delude by his glib ifés and promises experienced men jand women And now his hours on earth are numbered!
