The funeral of Mrs. King took place on one wild winter's day. Dr. Duncan accompanied it as the only mourner. But on reaching the cemetery he perceived there a woman dressed in black and closely veiled.
She stood by the grave as the coffin was being lowered, and was evidently weeping bitterly.
He wondered who she could be, but she carefully concealed her face, and went away without disclosing her identity.
It was the boarding-house keeper of Bayswater, Sister Eliza, of the Secret Society, who, after much vain search, had only two days before discovered where her beloved Chief had gone.
