One night in (ho iittii'o of a 'long-
HlujIlTM.ltl, StllMll WJIS Klllllll rlllK UlOllg
Hout.li street when lin observed a man
in front of liiin, wlin In- thought re
sembled tin' ma. i In1 1ial met on thu
(rain.
Tin' f"llow entered a saloon, nml Stu
au t followed liim anil heard him speak,
lilt believed 111' recognized tho voiro, but
hi' wiii not positive. The limn woro u
c.ip inilli'il iIhaii owr his faro, po thut
bin eyebrows were concealed, lint when
tin! mini left thr saloon, us he presently
lid, hi' iai-i il his cap, nml Stuart made
n recognii ion.
At last ho h.'i'l foinnl thi- man who had
brought an aihli'il weight of dri'iidfiil
suspicion upi'ii i i i mi. ami whom In- !;
Iii;i'i to ln .lulin ( 'aUl'iirn's murderer.
Stuart's heart leaped, nml h wild, ex
ultant feeling eaine upon him, while bis
nerves were ten" with i xeitemeiit.
At that instaiit I In- mail turned nml
looked Stuart lull ill tho face.
The latter sawn look of recognition in
tho fellow's eM'i. ami no doubt tho
other saw the same expression ill Stu
nrt's Hashing oil's, for ,e wheeled about
iiinl started to run.
Stuart lbol iiid leaped after him, de
termined ihat the Mippusi'd murderer
should mil eseape.
"lliill!" eried Stuart, ami ho strained
very mii-ele in the attempt to overtake)
his man.
'I Ii-- ii 'l iiu-taul, when the. chuse luid
only Well Itejjnii, Stum I reeeivod u cruel
blow on the head, mid ho fell to his
knees. Init with a desperate effort, in
spired by the thought that the man who
might p nve his iniioeenee would escape,
he staggered up again, half senseless,
and saw Levi Iviedge disappear around
ii neighboring e irner. Tho iiinii of
whom lie was in pursuit was nowhere
to lie seen, lie had vanished myste
riously. Stu nt reeled 1 nek against tho wall of
the nearest building, dazed and stunnod
by th- I .h v.'.
When h" hail sufficiently recovered,
Stuart made his way to it neighboring
eorner, suffering Irom vortigo ami u dull,
heavy pain in his head.
The lirst passing ear halted at a signal
from St uni t, and, boarding it, he was
carried rapidly out of the neighborhood.
The ineideiit which we have, just re
lated transpired so quickly that scarcely
anyone witnessed it, ami no excitement
was occasioned.
Stuart was enraged and bitterly dis
appointed, 11 maddened him to think thai the sup
posed assassin had eluded lit m, and ho
vowed to repay l.evi Kredgo for his das
tardly blow if lie ever had aii opportunity
to do so.
Tlie young man proceeded directly to
the ollne of 1'iiMoii, the detective, to
Whom be related Ills iwpelleliro.
Acting tinder I'uxtou's instructions,
five minutes later Saver and another of
the detective's adonis were on theirwav
to that particular pari of Smith sheet
111 which Stuart llarlaml hud encountered
the ii ii k i own and Levi Kredge. They
were to attempt to trace these men from
tills point.
While Stuart llarlaml win relating his
recent oX'-itmg experiences btaiimoro
entered the detective's offlco unit be
came an interested listener to nil the
young man's story.
"Am I never to prove my innocence?
Am 1 to be again placed on trial for my
life?" said Stuart, despondently, as ho
concluded his narrative.
"I believe disclosures will yet be mado
that will Hood this dark mystery with
liget," said l'ati'ii, and he added:
"1 made u little discovery the other
day, which I saw lit not to mention to
any one, but to encourage you I will tell
you about it now."
Thus tweaking, he opened a desk and
took out a small package.
It was the very parcel we Raw him
take from tln eluset in Levi Kredge's
room when he searched that apartment.
"I wish you to closely observe what I
am about to t-hnw you," ho said, and
opening the package he drew out a small
lutiviH bag, such as gold coin is packed
In at tho mint.
l'axton held up the canvas coin bag,
and both Stuart llarlaiid and Stiiutnoro
saw the name "John Oukluirn" printed
on the hag, as though tho work had boon
done with a pen.
Stuart llarlaiid sprang forward and
examined the coin bag more closely.
"I have seen that money bag in
John Oakham' little safe! W here did
you lliul ItV" he cried.
"1 found it in Lev I Kredgo's room,"
answered l'axton.
"Then he had a hand In the murder.'"
"Perhaps," answered l'axton. "At all
events we now have a good case, against
Kredge. Let me recapitulate tho point
I htivo made against him. First, It can
not b determined where ho was at tho
time of the murder. Second, his boots
made the tricks under tho office win
dow. Third, he has a largo sum of
money now, which he did not have be
foro tho murder. Fourth, the monoy
bag known to belong to John Oukburn
and to have been kept in his private safo
Is found in Kredgo's room."
"After all your labor has not been
in vain. You have accomplished much,"
said Stuart.
"True, but it yet remains to reully
prove his guilt. After all, our Is hut
presumptive evidence," replied the de
tective. l'axton hail business on hand, and ex
cusing himself, presently ho left the of
fice. From the time of Levi Kredgo's dis
appearance l'axton had felt confident
that his sister Judith knew where ho
was, and he had placed a shadow on the
woman's traek as wo have seen.
Although tin result had not confirmed
tho detective's belief, ho hud not
abandoned bin opinion, and ho had de
termined that Judith should be the guide
to conduct him to her brother's hiding
place.
lie had racked his mind to devise some
ruse whereby lie might turn Judith's
upyobed knowloilgo to account, slnoa
tho "shadow" had fulled to track her lo
Levi's concealment.
l'axton tried "the letter dodgo," ns tho
detectives tonuud it among themselves.
Thai Is, he obtained a copy of Levi
K ledge's handwriting, and wrote a note
like this:
"JruiTH Meet mo to-night; same
place. L."
Tho noto ho duly mailed, and ho
know Judith received it.
Hut tho woman puld no attention to It
whatever.
It seemed that Judith Kredge was too
cunning to bo easily overreached, but
l'axton did not despair.
The detective had determined to at
tempt u grand coup to try tho most
difficult impersonation of bis life, all
things considered. In short, 1'uxton had
resolved to personate Levi Kredge, and
try to deceive tho janitor's own sister.
For a week tho detective had been
considering this last and most difllcull
expedient.
Lvery day ho had been ntudying his
part and practicing tho character upon
the successful impersonation of which
ho much depended, just us an actor
studies a new role.
Ho knew that it was folly to suppose
(hut, even the most experienced veteran
in his profession could perfectly adopt
a dilUcult character at a moment's
notice.
It was Pardon's attention to details,
and tho fact that ho neglected no pre
caution or spared himsulf no labor that
might avail to assist him, that had fre
quently made him successful where
other men in his profession lailod.
The detective felt that he hud now ac
quired as perfect an Impersonation of
the character of Levi Kredgo as it was
possiblo for him to attain.
His make-up was a triumph of his
art. It was positively perfect In every
detail.
l'axton was a "facial artist," and ho
possessed tho power of changing the ex
pression of his features in a marked
manner, in order to Imitate the habitual
expression of any character ho under
took to assume.
On the night of the dny of which wo
nro writing, l'axton had resolved to test
his wonderful disguise, and Ills power to
perfectly cieato tho character of Levi
Kredge.
Hut sonio personal business now de
manded Ids attention.
Just outsldo the olllco door l'axton
encountered his agent, who was etIU
watching Judith Kredge.
"Ah, lirady, what news?" ho asked of
his man.
"Perhaps nothing of consequence; I'vo
just tracked Judith Kredge to a pawn
broker, where she put up something.
I thought I would leave it to you to llnd
out what she pawned, if you wished to
do it," answered the other.
"Very well; I'll attend to this matter.
Cllvo mo the pawnbroker's address. "
"Hero It is," replied 1'axton's agont,
and ho prosented a card on which tho
address lu question was written.
"Continue lo keep an eye on tho
woman as heretofore, and by tho way,
do not forget that to-night 1 shall try
the l'US" I have explained to you."
"Correct, sir. I'll not forget."
Tho detcctive'siiuxiliuryturned away.
Half an hour later l'axton entered tho
pawnbroker's shop to which Judith
Kredgo had been shadowed.
What relation, if any, Judith's visit to
the pawnbroker might havo on tho in
vestigation which ho was making, l'ax
ton could not imagine
On general principles, however, ho
meant to llnd out.
Tho detective had previously mado tho
acquaintance of tho pawnbroker.
Tho latter had been arrested not long
since for a certain irregular transaction,
and l'axton was tho man who had tali on
him in charge.
Of course he was recognized by the
pawnbroker the moment lui entered the
shop.
On this occasion the detective was not
in disguise.
The pawnbroker was now on hia' "good
behavior," for the authorities had threat
ened to deprive him of his liceiuso, and
so he naturally desired to conciliate tho
detective.
l'axton anticipated no difficulty in
obtaining the information ho sought,
and therefore ho did not resort to sub
terfuge. Coming directly to tho point, ho ac
curately described Judith Kredge.
Then lie said;
"A woman corresponding to the de
scription I havo just given you pawned
some article here to-day. What was it?"
"A gold locket," answered tho pawn
broker. "Let mo see it?"
The other promptly produced a hand
some gold locket, v hlch ho handed
ucross tho counter to 1'uxton.
The moment ho saw it the detective
recognized it.
To himself he suld.
"I have seen Marlon Oakburn wear
thatlookot."
Ho examined the locket, and discov
ered that it contained a portrait.
Tho picture was that of a young and
haudsomo man, and under it was writ
ten tho name, "Donald Wayburn."
Hut the picture did not In the least
resemble tho man who had exchanged
overcoats with Stuart llarlaiid.
In a moment Paxton comprehended
that ho had adopted a false theory.
It was clear that "Iionalil Wayhurn"
was not the rool name of tho supposed
assassin.
Paxton examined tho portrait criti
cally. lie fancied there was something
strangely familiar about that pictured
face.
Suddenly he gave a violent start, and
exclaimed:
"I have made a recognition and a dis
covery.
Paxton s tace was tho picture or sur
prise, and It could not be doubted that
Ids discovery was tlio souieo of pro
found astonishment for him.
Tho detective roturried the loeket to
the pawnbroker and left tho shop, his
mind tilled with strange thoughts which
were suggested by his discovery.
After nightfall, disguised as Levi
Kredge, he crept to tho window of the
kitchen in the rear of Oakbum's Hat,
and seeing Judith alone within, he
tupped on the window.
The woman saw him, and opening the
door bade him enter.
In a moment tho detective stood in
the brilliantly lighted kitchen confront
ed by Judith.
Everything depended upon tho occur
rences of the noxt few moments.
f.'IIAPTEU XXV.
llufore venturing to present himself to
Judith Kludge, us her brother Levi,
Puxton had well considered all the con
tingencies which might arise.
'I ho detective's foresight prompted
him todovise a plausible, exeetis , where
by to account for his presence, well
knowing that it would hardly be safe to
trust to mi inspiration of the mimical
for an Impromptu story us to why ho
came then;.
Moreover, ho had given Ids assistant,
who was watching the hunso, certain in
structions, and ho know that the trusty
fellow would tti t in unison with him so
us to sustain tho ruse ho had decided to
adopt.
As tho detective, so perfectly dis
guised to duplicate her brother in ap
pearance, stood before Judith, sho re
garded him in astoiiisbinoiit for a seo
onil, and then she said abruptly:
"Levi, you're a fool to como hero. I
thought nothing could tempt you to run
Hie risk of arrest you take by coming
hero."
As Judith thus addressed him, l'axton
experienced a feeling of relief and satis
faction inexpressible.
The woman's words conveyed to tho
detective tho certitude that his imper
sonation was a success.
"The fact is, Judith, I am here only
by chance, and a very narrow chance ut
that," answered l'axton, while Judith
hastily secured the door and drew tho
widow curtain closely.
"Don't talk in riddles, Levi," she said.
"Well, to be plain, 1 was on my way
to meet l'ratt and Weeks, when I dis
covered I was shudowod. I doubled and
twisted in every shape, but I couldn't
throw the fellow off my track, until at
last I dodged into the passage between
this building and tho noxt. Then tho
shadow' went on by me. Hut ho'll como
back and explore the passage. We shall
hear his footsteps, for I placed some
loose boards whoro ho'll step on them.
When wo hour him in tho passage, I'll
go out tho front door and make off. You
seo I havo como, Judith, merely to give
my trucker tho Blip."
Thus Paxton replied, telling tho story
ho had devised for tho occasion iu ad
vance. "You ought to have sent a messenger
to Pratt and Weeks, Instead of ventur
ing to go thero yourself," answeted Ju
dith. As she spoke, thero came the sound of
footsteps In tho passage.
"There's tho fellow I want to give tho
slip," said l'axton, who know tho sounds
he had heard wcro made by Ids agent,
whom he had instructed lo travorso the
passage soon utter he entered tho house.
Quluk as thought, Judith extinguished
the light In tho room.
"Come," she said, leading the way to
tho front door,
"You Intend to remain at Hrouscem's,
I BiippoBoV" she asked, as they started
for thu frout door.
"Yes, for the present."
"I think it's about tho safest place
you could find. No one you wish to
steer clear of is likely to visit Dreaders
Alloy, especially after night-fall, and I
presume, you keep close during the day?"
"Trust mo for that."
With this conversation they roachod
tho front door.
"Look out, Judith, and seo if tho coast
is clear," said l'axton.
Tho woman unfastened tho door and
cautiously poerod out.
In an Instant she drew back, saying:
"All right, now Is your time."
"Good, I'm off. Good-night, Judith."
"Good-nlght, Levi."
Then Paxton sprang down tho steps
and durted away, not forgetting to hni
tato Lovl Kredgo's peculiar limp.
In a moment ho vanished around an
ndjaeont corner.
Ho was exultant and delighted, for
success had surely crowned his elfort
this time. Ho had discovered where
Levi Kredgo was iu hiding. He hud not
dared to I'isk a further "ouvcrsation with
the cunning Judith, much as he would
havo liked to draw her out and gain
further Information.
Paxton well knew the locality where
Levi Kredgo had secreted himself, and
he was aware that lironseem's was a
sort of lodging-house, frequented by the
dangerous classes of the metropolis.
.Moreover, ho knew that lirouscoiu's
was tho most, dangerous place in New
York to attempt to make an arrest in,
unless backed by a strong police force.
Hut to tuke such a force would be to de
feat his purpose when he sought to cap
ture Kredgo.
Paxton meant to arrest the treacher
ous janitor that very night, and in a
moment or so he had hit upon a strata
gem which ho thought might answer his
purpose.
Less than an hour subsequently, in an
entirely new disguise that of a sporting
man about town, the detective was on
his way to Dreuders Alley.
Heforo sotting out, however, ho had
repaired to the office and made a com
plete change in his disguise mentioned,
while at the same time he had given
some instructions to two of his agents
whom ho found there.
t'pon reu iving Paxton's orders, those
men, who were both powerful fellows
whom ho knew to bo perfectly fearless
in i he midst of danger, went out.
When Faxtou reached Hrousceiu's it
was near midnight.
Ho entered the combined bar-room
and otltce of tho establishment, which
was thronged, and looked about for
Kredge, but tho janitor wus not there.
Tho detective sat down near tho door
and waited, hoping that Kredgo at this
Into hour might venture into tho public
room.
An hour elapsed, uud. then, just as
Paxton began to despair of meeting his
man, Kredge entered.
Tho janitor sauntered to the bar not
far from the door, and just as he
entered the room u man at the other end
of the apartment mounted upon a rude
stage and began to perform some skillful
card trick with one hum,, for ho was a
one-armed man, while a boy passed
around with a hat, taking up a collec
tion for tho performer's benefit.
Paxton stealthily arose glided, to the
street door and looked out.
He saw his t wo agents, who had left the
offb e iu advance of him, standing ouo
on each side of tho door.
W ith his men ho exchanged a silent
but significant signal, and then he ap
proached Kredgo and touched his arm.
llio janitor wheeled about with a
start, and his hand sought his pistol
pocket.
"What do you want? Who aro you?"
ho demanded.
"I com from Ualvlii. A word with
you In private It Is Important, " said
Paxton .
It whs his purpose to decoy Kredgo
outside, but the later was wary.
Just at the door he paused and said:
" Wo have goho far enough. We urn
out of earshot. Tell mo now what word
you bring from Malvin?"
Kludge stood with hisbifk lo the door,
und ot that moment Paxton saw one of
his agents cautiously open it.
Tho detective cast a rapid glance about
I he room, und he saw that the attention
of all the dangerous characters there
tissembled was centered upon the mini
witli one arm who wus pei forming the
card trick ut the other end of the room.
Paxton caiiiu close lo Kredge, as
though to make a confident ial coinmiiui
cation which lie feared might be over
heard, and then, quick us a Hash, he
"gavo him a violent push.
Tins janitor reeled backward through
the door, and at tho same instant he was
seized by the detective's two agents,
and the door closed behind him.
Kredgo tried to call for help, well
knowing that assistance would be
promptly rendered him If his voice was
heard by the men in the "dive," but one
of Paxton's agents clutched his throat
so that lie was uuablo to utter a sound,
and, lifting him between them, they
thrust him into a carriage which stood
close by, leaped into the vehicle utter
him, ami were driven swiftly away.
l'axton hurried away on loot as fast as
possible.
The arrest had been accomplished so
quickly that even the people on the street
thought that Kredgo was an intoxicated
man whom friends were taking away in
a cuirhigo.
Thut night Kredge slept in a police
station, and thn following day he was
transferred to the Tombs, charged by
l'axton with assault made upon Stuart
llarluud, with intent lo kill.
Tho detective did not mention to the
authorities that he believed Kredge was
concerned in the murder of John Oak
burn. Meanwhile, a few days prior to the
date of the occurrences last recorded,
ltichard Slanmore received a letter with
a foreign postmark. Inside the outer
envelope a second letter was inclosed,
containing a letter which had been sent
from New York lo a foreign count ry, and
now was returned again.
At the sight of the directions on the
inclosed letter, Mr. Stunuiore evinced
the greatest surprise, and he eagerly
opened it
As ho read tho letter, Stainnorc's
noble, handsome face became trans
formed, and a joyful light beamed in
his oyos.
"At last! at last!" he muttered. "Her
true heart never banished my memory,
and she is convinced of my honesty ami
honor."
Stanmoro read the letter again and
again, and he seemed like another man,
so changed nnd joyful was his expres
sion. Hut leaving Rtnnmoro to reflections,
which must hnvo been pleasant oius,
wo will turn our uttentlon to Levi
Kretlge.
The morning following tho night of
his arrest the janitor sat in his prison
c 11, musing In terror upon his situa
tion, s
Ho was a coward at heart, and now
he trembled with apprehension, but tho
cunning rascal had determined to feign
bravery and deny any charge that
might ho brought against him.
"It's ono thing to accuse me of John
Oakhurn's murder, and another thing
to prove the charge," ho kept saying to
himself by tho wuy of sustaining his
courage.
Tho rascal had no idea what strong
circumstantial evidence the detective
had to present against liim.
At an early hour l'axton called at the
prison, and ho was admitted to Kredgo's
cell.
It was I'axton's policy to frighten
Kredge.
"Well, friend Levi, you liml yoioself
lu nice, snug quarters." were the de
tective's lil'Ht words a . he entered
K red go's cell.
The latter grated out an imprecation,
but he did not answer the ile'.eclive,
upon whom ho Ilushoil a look of intense
hatred.
"Not iu a conversational mood this
morning, oh?" continued I'axloii.
"What do you want.''' demumli'd
Kredge. fiercely.
"I want to have a little chat with y.m
for your own good, Levi."
"Say what you have come to s iv, and
be done with it."
Suddenly Paxton's manner became
stern, and his voice became keen and
cutting, and each word fell upon
Kredgo's ear like a kn"ll of doom as he
said:
"1 have come to tell you that I have
the proof that you murdered John Oak
burn." TO BE CON TlX'l'Kl).
l.nril l.iirua ailit the American (tlrl.
Tht; following jilcus:uit and unusual
ex eni'iice happened to a party of
vvcll-ktiowu American girls who were
traveling in Europe last summer. Its
truth, of course, can bo vouched for.
The story is vouched for by cue of
the young ladies: "On our way to
Keiriburgli we Mopped over a train at
Stirling to sec the castle, ami there
an adventure befell us, of which I
will tell you. 'When we got out of
the train ami were looking about for
ways and means of reaching t he cas
tle, we were accosted by a tall, llne
lnoking, miibllc-agcd man, who asked
If we were ted from the 'other side of
t lie water.' c said 'yes,' and that
we wanted to get to the castle, lie
said he was going tbero and would be
glad to show us the way, and also to
show us his old family house, which
was close by. We got into the car
riages and our new friend mounted
tho box beside the driver, and on we
went. We finally stopped before
a quaint old house, with coats of
arms carved in stone, and he led us
into the courtyard, which was very
quaint and old. He said the place
was called 'Argyle Lodge,' and then
added: 'Perhaps I ought to tell you
who I am. L atu Lord Lome, the
last of the house of Argyle!" He
then took us all over the castle, the
old tray Friar's Church, and rushed
about so that we saw twice as much
as we could imssibly have seen by
ourselves, for he knew just what was
worth seeing, and could shake off the
guide when he started on his long,
rambling story. Lord Lome was
petlcctly lovely, and we have all lost
our heart-) to him, and have serious
designs first upon the life of I'rineos-i
Louise, his wife, and then upon each
other." Rochester Post-Express.

him was that represented by 11 sound
Ihiiishiue; he had once received at tho
hands of this venerable missionary.
I'or it appeared Unit this particular
liner, in his youth, had 1 11 tent to 11
school luiiniit by Idmlli-y; that Hie

such a hidiun with a biillock-w hip that
the young giant l-oured for mercy be

and similar deeds the liners loved the
elder Ijimlley.und this pai'tii-nlar liner
venerated his memory. In the eveu
in, i? in iUestinn, when the two men
were about In part, the Jiner.whn had
been so uncivil at tirst. In dued Hind

him a great favor for the sake of his
conscience. "Your father," said he,
"did me u service so great that I can
never repay it In- gave mn tho worst,

My friend du el fully promised In
giant the request, puzzling his head
as to what was going to be required of
him. The liner was mounted upon an
iM-ellent horse, w hich he prized be
yond anything he owned. He dis
mounted, put the reins in l.imlley'H
hand und then ran iiwny into the black
forest as though the devil was after
