" 0, '1921., My Dear Peter Gangs: You will have heaard of Pendean's confession and inossageto you; but you may not have read full detaile as they coneen) you personally. I inclose his gift; and it is safe to bet that neither you nor any man will henceforth possess any- thing more remarkable. He made a wild in prison and the law decides that I inherit his personal estate; but you will not be Surprised to learn that I have handed it over to the police orphanages of my country and yours in equal proportiots. The facts are these. As ' the day. approached for his execution, extra- ordinary precautions were taken, but Pendean behaved with utmostre- straint, gave no trouble and made no threat. Having completed his written statement, he asked to be permitted to copy it on a typewriter, but leave to do so was not granted. He kept the communication on his person and he. was promised that no attempt to read it should be made until after his exe- cution. Indeed, he received this slider_ taking before he put pen to paper. He. preserved a quiet and orderly manner, ate well, took exercise with his guards and smoked many cigarettes. I may mention that the body of Robert Red- mayne was found where he buried it; but the tides have deflected the beach gravels of Bendigo's grave and search there has revealed nothing. Upon this last night but one, Pen - dean retired as usual and apparently slept for some hours with the bed- clothes up to his face. A warder sat on each side of him and a light was burning. Suddenly he gave a sigh and herd out his hand to the man on his right. "See that goes to Peter Gann$—it is mV Iegacy," he said. "And remem- ber that Mark Brendon is my heir." He Hien put a small object into the warder's hand. At the same time he apparently suffered a tremendous physical convulsion, uttered one groan and 'leaped up into a sitting position. Froni this he fell forward unconscious. One attendant supported him and the other ran for the prison surgeon. But Pendean was already dead—poisoned with cyanide of potassium. You will remember two facts which might have thrown light upon his se- cret. The first was his accident in Italy as a youth; the second your con - ing, and yet, perfect fect though it was in fmustre and pigment, the fa,se thing had given to I'endean's expression a qualify that never failed to disturb Peter. Mr. Gallus turned over the little ob- ject that had so often met his inquix-. ng gaze. "A'rar'e crook," he said aloud; "but he is right: his wife was greater than either of us. If he'd listened to her and not his own vainglory, both could be alive flourishing yet," NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. ttPggistl{entl landohope o aftalEl CHAPTER XIX. was enough.
